WEATHER AND CROPS
Well Distributed Rains Have Benefited
Shapes in this State.

The government weekly bulletin
shows that generally we'll distrib-
uted rains last week have benefited
cotton in Texas, but in the central
and eastern portions of the cotton
belt the crop has suffered from ex-
cessive moisture, many fields being
grassy and of too rapid growth.
Texas-The rainfall has been gem
orally very beneficial to the crop,
except in the counties along the
lower Brazos river, where the show
ers have been excessive. Some
shedding has occurred in all sec
tions. The hollis have begun to
open in the northern portion of the
state and picking has become quite
gen eral i'm the southwest and coast
counties. Boil weevils are doing
considerable damage in a number Of
counties; boil worms are present
over the greater portion Of the cot
ton belt, but serious damage by this
pest is still confined to limited areas,
Moderately cool weather at the
close of the week made the average
temperature for the week slightly
below normal, good showers were
general on the 9th and 7th and scat
tered showers occurred during the
rest of the week.

AS TO PARDONS.

If capital punishment is abolished
and imprisonment for life substitu ted,
what is the need of lodging pardoning
power with anybody? Let us have
one penalty that will stay put. There
should be some avenue left open for
the liberati IN of innocent men upon
the discovery of new evidence, of
course, or perhaps for the eventual
release of some conviots whose guilt
was not clearly established in the first
place and has become all the more
improbable in the light of subsequent
times and circumstances. In other
words, the State should always have
easily available the means of reotiiy-
ing evident miscarriages of justice,
but that should be the end of it.
These latter day petitions for release
from just punishment that are based
wholly upon sentimental reasons
should be made imposs' BILE. st.
Adams Messenger.
The trouble is not with having a
pardoning power. Some provision for
pardons is proper in every State and
it would not be right to do away with
it. Justice sometimes miscarTies, al
though it is to be remarked that such
events are very few and far between.
There should be way by which a
man who has been convicted of q
crime of which he is innocent can get
his release 1t would be barbsrous
without such provision
The trouble comes with the abuse
of the pardoning power, its almost in
discriminate use without regard to the
purposes for which it was intended
The too frequent employment Of th'
pardoning power is sign of weakness
and while it casts a shadow on thu
| record of the executive so using it,
further and more injurious effect i
felt throughout the community in tn
fear or belief that the sentences of tn
courts are TO he disregarded. Any
thing that shakes the confidence of tn
people in the stern and impartial ad
ministration of justice ought to b
avoided. Such is the abuse of tn
pardoning power. 1t is to be hope
no Governor will ever again com
near to getting the title of the par
doning Governor. :"

A WORRIED CONTEMPORARY

The St. Adams Messenger is much
worried because the Journal, which,
it says, has fought so many battles
for improvement In State laws and
governmental institutions, has de-
olared itself in favor of electing an
attorney general by the Legislature.
The Messenger thinks the Journal
night as we'll declare for the parlia-
Aentary system of government and
GEES on to say
If we were taught anything about
tn, nature of our government with
bitmore emphasis than was laid upon
any other principle involved in it's
scheme, it was that it was tripartite
organization, a remarkable oombins-
ton # three coordinate functions,
each Independent of all the rest aud
supreme in its own jurisdiction. We
were tdd that the Constitution regu-
lated thu exercise of these independent
legislative, executive. and judicial
functions in a most delicate system of
checks and balances, forbidding not
only the encroachment of one upon
the duties of another, but holding
each up to the imperative performance
OF It's own duty regardless of the
other. We were taught that the
American idea of government en-
trusted the making Of the laws to the
Legislature, the administration of the
government as directed by those laws
to the executive, and the interpreta-
ton of those laws and the adjudica-
tion If causes under them to the
judiciary."
Very true. But does the Messenger
find it laid down in the Constitution
that the Legislature shall not elect
any official of the State, or that the
Governor ,hall appoint them all 1t
is difficult 10 see that there is any
force in the Messengers remarks with
regard to the Constitution in this re-
spect. The journal has as high re-
gard for the Constitution as has the
Messenger, and 1T has no more ides OF
supporting parliamentary government,
but it is not DESTROYS of reading into
the Constitution anything evidently
not there. The Governor will be
just as much an executive, and the
officers chosen by the Legislature will
be just as much executive officers, as
though the Governor had power tc
appoint them all, and the chances Of
securing satisfactory officials will be
greater.
