Agricultural MissLonaries.

The Secretary Of Agriculture and a
few other worthy gentlemen believe
that the american farmer is in need
Of enlightenment on matters pertaining
10 his business. Therefore missionaries
are sent out in special trains TO push
ideas into him. They carry samples Of
agricultural products 10 show him what
he might and should do, and they tell
him TO 60 and do IL. The enterprise Is
most commendable.
One OF these useful outfits has lately
made a trip through western Maryland
The lecturers told the farmers OF that
State how they could make 81 ,OOO, 900 a
year in corn alone, beyond their present
income. Their message and its areu-
ment apply with equal force to other
States. The farmers Of Maryland aver
age q crop Of thirty bushels Of corn TO
the acre. The Now York State average
Is about the same. Pennsylvania aver
ages about thirty-fve bushels Michigan
thirty and New jersey thirty. Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa average about
forty bushels The argument Of these
missionaries Ia that better cultivation
In the Eastern areas would increase the
average by ten bushels to the acre. The
argument is undoubtedly sound.
American farmers, a. a class, are far
less progressive and far more tenacious
Of old and fixed ideas than are our mer-
chants and manufacturer When the
great Western areas Of Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and Kansas were invaded by set
tiers land vas cheap and the col was

Of pardon or refuse 70 grant petitions
for either Of these two things. In her
brief she contends that to commute q
sentence is in effect to give new sen
tence. and that is solely the functions
Of the courts of law.
Attorney-Generai 1IcCarter today
said: Miss Philbrook has raised a very
interesting point under contention that
the Court Of Pardons has no right To-
commute a sentence. am particularly
impressed with her contention and be-
lieve it worthy of the most careful con
sideration. In her argument Miss
PhiRbrook traces the origin back to the
Grown, and admitting its assumed right,
she contends that it never legally de-
scended from the Crown. She declares
that the Court of Pardons is not a
court. nor is it sovereign.
IF in its Judgment sentence is worthy
of being committed then the Court of Par
don's functions rightly is to suggest TO
the court, the symbol of sovereignty, and
the court alone has the power to COM
mute sentence by giving another one.
She holds to the faith that the courts
sanctioned by act of Legislature, the peo-
pies Representatives, alone are sovereign
in the punishment of crime against soei-
ely. She denies that the Court of Par
tfons can in any way be construed sover-
eign, and because of the lack of power
of sovereignty cannot depart from the
power given the men composing ii under
the constitution, which is that they
may remit fines and forfeitures. and
grant pardpns. after convictions, in all
cases except impeachment
AT present it looks as though the
matter was one for legal study and re-
search, but il could easily become one for
judicial determination if Miss PhilbroolS
OF any other legal representative of Lib
bic Garrabrandt should apply for writ
of hsbeas corpus reviewing another re-
fasal Of the Court of Pardesns to let the
woman out Of prison. Certainly Miss
PhiIbrook has raised very interesting
legal point"

though he had Just crossed the alkali
plains Of Arizona, had no money with

HENRY'S CHANCES
Prosects Of Probable Demo-
cratic Mayoralty Nomin-
ee Grow Brighter With
Every Republican
Row.

While the Republican organization is
hopelessly split and The outlook for May
or Fagan's chances of becoming Jersey
City's Mayor for 4 third term are grow
ing beautifully slim, Archibald NJ. Hen
~, who is slated for fhe Democratic
Mayoralty nomination is continuing the
campaign he indistriously began months
ago. Many observing politicians be-
lieved that Mr. Henry could beat the
Mayor in the coming race long before it
was known that Colonel Dickinson, the
Republican leader, had repudiated Mr..
Fagan as third term candidate. He has
all the qualifications essential to the sue
scessful management Of such a high office
as well as all the attributes of a winning
candidate. He stands high as a business
man and his integrity cannot be ques-
toned Already he has arrayed the
best business element on his side and has
astonished even his intimate friends with
his hustling campaign abilities and his
popularity among the voters of the city.
On the other hand, the most astute
of the Republican political observers ac-
knowledge the disaster that, has befallen
the Republican camp. Those who do
not verbally acknowledge it practically
do 50 in the stereotyped phrase 7 have
nothing to say" in answer for opinions
on the situation. These are still hoping
that a.yague something will yet avert
certain disaster.
A few attempt TO belittle the signih
canoe Of the split between the leader aud
the Mayor and City Collector Fry, chair
man Of the Republican organization.
They talk rag-time. The Colonel demon
strated his popularity among the faithful
at the Dickinson Club House on Tuesday
evening. Many of the larger lights have
already announced their allegiance to
their old leader, while ward lights are on
the fence, waiting TO see which way they
should jump in the present dilemma.

what he had TO say of the criticisms lev
eled at him BY members Of the Seventh
Ward Improvement association at Tues
day nights meeting because he did not
reply TO a recent communication sent to
the Board of Finance, said he felt sorry
that the members were aggrieyel The
communication principally in question
was one asking the Board to provide
money for the services of an extra labor
er for Columbia Park. Mr.. Heath ad.
nlits that the failure Of. the Finance
Board to take acsfon on the conlmunica-
ton was due to an oversight on his part
in not presenting it at the meeting of
May IT, The communication was pre-
sented and action was taken upon it yes
terday Mr. Heath said he felt almost
ashamed to acknowledge to Mr.. Holmes
that he did not play golf and was also
sorry that the fortunes of politics had
caused Mr.. Riley, forraer assistant clerk
Of the Board, to lose his position. As to
Improvement associations, he said, he is
mindful Of the fact that they accomplish
much good and that any communication
sent by them to the Board would receive
prompt and careful attention, 50 far as
he, as clerk, is concerned.
