OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Politics, Pardons. Paroles and pulls"
The now famous Shercliffe case is an
object lesson which, perhaps, will bring
about long needed reform in Iowa.
If the searchlight of publicity which
has been turned on so strongly in Iowa
for the past two weeks results in es-
tablishing a board of pardons in this
state Sherclitfe. the criminal, and
pennison, the gambler, will have been
the unconscious instruments in giving
Iowa a great and needed blessing. The
unfortunate part of this affair. and all
others of a similar nature. is the belit
Ting of the regulations of so many
prominent men. For it can be as
sumed that this episode in republican
political circles Will be the text of many
an impassioned democratic speech as
we'll as many gibes and sneers IN the
democratic press.
But let us imagine that at the time
this work was being done to set at

large (for a parole does imply liberty
this criminal that Pinkerton said was
so dangerous a man, we had had in
existence, a board of pardons, consti-
tuted as our board OF control is, one
democrat and two republicans, would
ex-Judge Hubbard or any other promi-
nent republican lawyer have written
this board what he did write to Gov
ernor Shaw? Governor Shaw was I'M
der obligations to ex-Judge Hubbard.
The suggestive thing about this whole
business is that the governor of q big
state. receiving such letter and such
request, did not indignantly return
this letter to this prominent politician
with the rebuke its contents justified.
On the contrary, he was forced to re-
ceive it as a part of the system of poll
tics, pardons, paroles and pulls"
The Judge felt under obligations to
"Dave" Mercer. for timely assistance
in railroad legislation. There are no
intimations that there was any ques-
tionable work in this railroad legisla
ton. on the contrary the press ana
public at that time and now, consider
the Northwestern railroad was en-
titled to the legislation received. New
ertheless the facts stand out, that
prominent railroad politician did ask
the governor of Iowa, 70: parole of
criminal, on the grounds of helping
to elect another prominent candidate
for office.
While the constitution of the state
ne u-j.y hn hco 1,,fn Ne
pardon and parole to the governor, not
even delegating it to the legislature in
the case of life murderers,' as many
suppose all the power the legislssura
has, being to recommend action in these
cases, still board of pardons can be
created by law, giving them an in
yestigating and recommending stand
ing, that will have the same weigh,
with the governor that the legislative
report in such cases has at present
and will supercede the work of pres
ent pardon clerk, whom governors now
find necessary part of the executives
office. To appear before such a boart:
lit will not be necessary to pay any
politician $4,000 or to engage the serv-
ices OF a state senator at $500 or ST. .
COO Before a noH-partisan board Of
pardons a criminal can appear by any
lattorney for 4 moderate fee, and the
fact of the attorneys prominence in
party circles will have no weight In
asking for such parole or pardon.
This whole business does show con-
| clusively that politics. pardons, paroles
and pulls have had a close affiliation
lin the Shercliffe case, deplorable
| political condition, impossible under a
board of pardons system.
