Petition For Pardon.

To his excellency, J. X. vardaman, Governor
Of Mississippi:
The undersigned petitioners would respect
fully show that on May l6. 1909, Willie Rutland
was sentenced to the penitentaFy for killing a
boy by the name of Elzey in Lincoln county. At
tue time of the homicide. Willie Rutland was 10
years OF age, and mentally was much younger.
He was easily led aStray on account Of his un-
developed mind and on the day of the homicide
he had procured some whiskey from person
engaged In the unlawful sale thereof. had drunk
it and became intoxicated to such an extent
that he was deliriOus and knew not what he did
and In this drunken, irresponsible state, he,
met young ElZey, and without prOyocatiOn, I'M
conscious of what he was doing. killed him.
Petitioners are aware that drunkenness Is not
an excuse for crime in the eyes of the law, hut
taking into consideration the tender years Of
this boy, the fact that temptation was placed in
his way, that he could not have known of the
probable consequences that might follow from
drinking the vile stuff, we submit that it IS q
case for executive clemency. He has served
i've years In the penitentiary for a crime he did
not intend to commit, that he committed without
malice and without knowing what he was doing.
Petitioners respectfully request that pardon
be granted. IS they believe that the ends of JUS
tice have been subserved.

In condemning intemperance Mrs.
Logan said recently.
Alcohol vitiates the mind that the
degradation It imposes on It's victims
hardly seems like degradation to
them. The woes of these men are
changed to blessings In their besotted
brains.
For instance" said Mrs. Logan,
smiling. There used to live In Ken
lucky an old man called Fawcett
Jones. Fawestt drank to excess, and
he used to declare that whisky was
meat and drink to him. But one hot
summer night he drank so much that
he fell into puddle on the way home.
and in this puddle he lay snoring un-
til dawn.
"A clergyman who had risen early
found him with his head in the mud
and his legs and body In the water.
and the good man woke him up.

The farmers of this country have
favored and do favor protection. They
believe in it because it has built up a
home market, and because, under
protection, that splendid market has
been preserved to them. They be-
lieve in it because under successive
Republican administrations that
market has continually increased
whereas during an unfortunate trial
of the free trade or low tariff idea,
that home market was largely taken
from them. The consumption of
their products by the great army of
employed workmen in the American
protected industries furnishes them
a great and direct pecuniary interest
in the doctrine of protection.
