A TRUCE TO sENTuMENTALIsM

We are pleased to hear from a local
pulpit a strong Endorsement of the law
providing for capital punishment and a
protest against weakening or abolish
ing it. All the forces that make for
morality and order should, it seems to
us, combine against the weak senti-
mentalism that forgets the loss of the
injured in maudlin pity for his assail-
ant. There would be less tendency on
the part of legislatures everywhere to
interfere with a law that in the last
analysis is as humane as it is stern if
it received a more frequent sanction
from those whose opinions count in the
community.
We could wish also that with this
utterance We're Joined a protest against
the continuance of our pardoning sys-
tenn. There is a bill before the legisla-
ture providing for the abolition of the
board of pardons and the restoration of
the pardoning power to the governor.
Thus we have the everlasting seesaw of
legislative change from governor to
pardoning board and from pardoning
board back to governor. because the
peoples representatives realize in each
case the evils of the existing situation
without being able TO go TO their root.
1t was not the governor who was at
fault under the old arrangement, it is
not the board of pardons under the
new. The trouble lies in the pardoning
system itself.
The legislature ought to have inteIli-
gence and courage enough to take this
subject up and deal with it in a thor
ough way. Neither one man nor many
can exercise wisely and justly the par
doning power as it now exists. because
the existence of such power is wrong
in itself. 1t is not the administration
of the law but the law itself which is
to blame. The power to pardon. unless
in cases where new evidence has been
discovered tending to establish the in
nocence of the convict, should be wiped
out Then the condition should not be

A DIFFICULT PEACE


If it be true that one of the condi-
tions which Japan lays down as a pre-
liminary of peace negotiations with
Russia is the requirement that the lat
ter Shall give pledge to build no more
warships for ten years. then the prog
ress of peace negotiations is likely to
be slow. 1t is difficult to conceive OF
any great world power consenting to
such a stipulation. 1t is especially diff
ficult to imagine Russia making such
a promise One of the great lessons Of
this war with her has been in teaching
the necessity of naval preparedness.
She can never hope to stand on an
equality with the first class powers,
can never expect to be safe except in
the central Businesses of her vast do
main, until she has plenty of warships
well manned and equipped
Russia in particular could scarcely
tolerate the wearing of a badge in the
face of all the world confessing her
subordination TO another power in a
matter so closely touching her honor.
We believe that any condition of this
sort would prove a more effectual bar
to peace propositions than the biggest
indemnity that could be demanded. On
the other hand, we may give full credit
to Japan for humanity and honorable
motives in bearing this stipulation in
mind. Japan does not want war. She
want another. Being an island power,
it is indispensable to her to be secure
against attack by any enemy from the
sea. Such security can be purchased
only by the creation on her part of
formidable naval armament, or the as
surance that no such armament will be
possessed by any power likely to be-
come her enemy. Her alliance with
England and the close friendship be-
tween her empire and the United States
leave her open to fear in only one di-
rection. Could the danger of a subse-
quent attack from Russia be averted,
Japan might spare herself the huge
sum necessary to furnish her with
navy equal to her possible needs.
Broadly speaking, from the point of
view of humanity and from that of
economics, her position is justifiable.
If the suggestion that has been made
is brushed aside, as it probably will be,
then Japan and Russia must follow the
evil example of the other powers, and
pile millions upon millions in building
warships and keeping them in commits
sion solely as preventive measures. The
wealth ana energy of the nation must
be devoted to the provision of this
mighty naval police force, a burden
and drain upon the people, quite as
likely to be provocative OF war as pre-
servative Of peace. In the broad view
Japan's position is right; yet we much
doubt whether she herself would agree
on her part to provide no more war
ships if Russia builds none. Control Of
the sea grows ever more and more vital
to the nations. and seems likely now to
stand in the way Of a peace otherwise
probably assured at an early day.

THE REAL ISSUE IN CHICAGO


Behind all the hullabaloo about mu-
nicipal ownership of the local traction
lines in Chicago, there is a little man
and big man-physically. They are not
the tall and the short man of the police
records. who have been going about on
dark streets at night with neat little
bits of lead pipe and guns, taking
things away from citizens who were
trying to get home with their accumu-
1atiOns for the day in the marts of
trade. But they are fairly effective
men in politics, and the little man
Michael Kenna, the 'Hinky Dink" of
the newspapers-is an issue now The
big mani. ]. Coughlin, "Bathhouse
John"-is contributing picturesque sur
roundings to the campaign.
We are assured of the eminence
of Hink as a factor in the cam
paign by no less an authority than
John Maynard Harlan, the Repub-
1ican candidate. Mr.. Harlan stands
on platform that is not very
clear as to the policy of his party to-
ward the traction people. His position
Is just the negative of that occupied
by Judge Dunno, who is committed to
the immediate acquisition Of the street
car lines by the city. Mr.. Harlan ap-
pears to be in bad way, not because
the people are so unequivocally in fa-
vor OF municipal ownership, but for
the reason that they have come to un-
derstand that something positive must
be done to solve the traction problem.
Hinky Dink is the issue and calls upon
the people to elect him-Harlan-
cause Hink Is on the other side. The
reason will be found of great force on
Michigan avenue, but it is to be doubt
ed If it will avail much in the business
districts, where Hink and the Bat'house
form a power to be reckoned with.
Mr.. Kenna's public career has not
been ordered upon such high lines as
TO commend that distinguished Chica-
goan to his fellow citizens generally.
He is a smart little man, who has sue
eeeded within the limitations of his
ambitions, politically. He uses the ma
terial which is nearest to his hand in
paving his way to power. The material
is not always nice to handle, and it
is sometimes very difficult to get hold
Of 1t is to be doubted if the very re-
spectacle Mr.. Harlan could handle 1t
at all. But Hinl1y Dink serves his pur-
pose in the economy of Chicago. He
is the alderman from perhaps the rich
est ward in the world, but not because
the men who own the property cIamor
for him. The voters of Mr.. Kenna's
ward are not the property owners:
they OVID nothing except the food they
get, and great many of them get that
from Hinlhy Dink. Working with nasty
materials, Hinky Dink is not always
nice himself. Thus it is that when the
Republicans lack any other sort of is
sue they bring on Mr.. Kenna and use
him as bogey man.
Mr. Ker}na seems to thrive on the
treatment that is accorded him. He
has a grip on his ward; he has no
political principles that might inter-
fere with his success in life. If the
Republicans could get Mr.. Coughlin to
turn on Mr. Kenna there might baY
Some prospect of putting the little man
down. But Mr. Coughlin is his friend-
though it has been intimated that they
are not bound SO much by the ties Of
Friendship as by what Mr.. Cleveland

Hungry and tired, a forlorn little boy
of years. who gave his name as Willie
Hudson, was discovered by the matron
at the union depot Sunday evening sit
ting on bench in the smoking room
bravely fighting to keep back the tears.
Willie was stranded and no one knew
it better than himself. His home is at
Gutenberg, Ia, and he was on his way
TO Brainerd, Minn to visit relatives. 1t
was the boys first trip alone and he
was very proud TO be allowed to travel
all by himself. All went we'll until the
train reached st. Paul and then in some
manner Willie was left at the union
depot. He was about to give up in
despair when discovered by the matron
and after being introduced to warm
supper was put to bed.
Secretary Hutchins of the Relief So
ciety was notified yesterday morning.
with the result that Willie was soon op
his way TO Brainerd.
