FORFEITED PARDON.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
editoriallY remarks: "The theory upon
which all pardons should be granted is
that they hold only during good be-
hdvior.''
That conclusion of the Republican
is reached after recital of the pccu-
liar circumstances attendant upon the
pardon of murderer in the State of
Washington, 4 man named Spencer
had atrociously killed girl and he was
sentenced TO life imprisonment. In
Jail he became SO i'll that the physi
clans gave up all hope, and the Gov
ernor pardoned him that he might die
in freedom. Liberty had an ostonish-
ing effect upon him, for he not only
recovered his health, but his evil prac.
tees, Thereupou the Governor revoked
the pardon and ordered tho man back
into the penitentiary; and as the ex
ecutiye action was resisted by Spencer
and his friends, strange case is pend
ing in the courts.
IL the doctrine Of the Republican be
good in an individual case-and moral
lists viii not disagree with that dis
tinguished paper-how much more ap.
plicable is the doctrine If pardons have
been extended TO a large class or TO
community, and il the people, to whom
liberty has been accorded under tho
pardons, Immediately return to their
forbidden course, sneer al the pardon
ing power and pursue with moro or less
effective vengeance all who demand
that the law shall be fulfilled upon
them and their crimesl
Such case as is here suggested is
presented in Utah and to the Nation;
and it is worthy of tho intelligent at
tention which the Springfield Repub
lican bestows upon vital public ques-
tions. Tho leaders OF the Mormon
church petitioned the President of the
United States TO grant amnesty to
them for their polygamous offenses;
some of them had been convicted and
had lost their rights of citizenship;
under the law, even those who had not
been convicted could not take, without
perjury, the oath of Office, the oath Of
suffrage, or the oath of jury service.
In making their humble request, tho
prophets, seers and revelators pledged
their honor that they and their people
would not again commit polygamous
crime, President Benjamin Harrison
granted tho petition, extended a free
pardon to all polygamous offenders of
the Mormon church, and restored them
to citizenship pending good behavior,
Today and almost universally the poly
gamists have returned TO their ofTenscs
and new polygamists have been added
to the class by the aid, connivance or
protection of the hierarchy of the
church, including Reed Smoot.
The Tribune, like the Republican,
maintains that pardon should only
hold during good behavior; and it
maintains that the pardon extended by
the President Of the United States to
the hierarchs and their following in
Utah has been violated and forfeited
III every respect.

MORE NEW JERSEY JUSTICE.

Cleveland Plaln-Dealer.
A New Jersey magistrate has tried
another form Of encouragement for wife
beaters, but whether Il Will prove ef1ca-
cous or not remains to be seen. wo-
man complained 10 this new Daniel that
her husband had quarreled with her and
finally had struck her several severe
blows In the face The husband offered
no excuse for his mlsbehavior and
seemed much ashamed when the magis-
trate gave him an opinion on wifo beat
ers In general and on his own unmauly
conduct In particular. After the tongue
lashing the official declared that he
meant TO give the offender n dose OF his
own medicine. He was to be struck in
the face as many blows as no had given
his WIFE, and tho wife was TO administer
the punishment. II the wife declined tho
task then the biggest and strongest po-
llceman In the courtroom wold be dosig-
mated to carry out the sentence Tho
wife preferred to inflict the punishment
and no doubt the husband preferred TO
have her. The principals retired TO the
next room where the slaps were given
and then the magistrate administered n
solemn warning 10 the husband as he
discharged him from custody.
II may be possible that the shame Of
the affair, coupled with the blows, will
exert the effect desired In this particular
case. But IL may also be possible that
the blows OF the average wife alone will
havo little effect on the calloused temper
OF the wife beater. Consequently It would
be well to have the biggest and strongest
policeman on hand IN readiness for the
second offense cases.

Topics of the Day
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.


Minneapolis Tribune
A New England college professor
makes a serious plea for Federal de-
partment OF public health with Cabinet
Minister at the head Of 1t. The Idea Is
likely 10 get some attention.
The argument for a national health
department is that State authority Is too
restricted. Tho constitutional argument
against It has disappeared with assump-
tion OF national jurisdiction over plant
and animal health. The authority refer
red to points out that the department OF
agriculture spends S7,0000 900 q year TO
save domestic animals from diseases
that make them unht for food and 10
protect plant life from insect and other
pests
II this may be done, surely the Ma
tional Government may spend money TO
eradicate disease among human beings
and to protect them from the deleterl-
Gus effects OF adulterated food and other
improper diet. a beginning has been
made with the food inspection law, The
service organized for that will make a
neucleus around which Il new Federal de-
partment and Il now cabinet minister
may grow in n fow years.

for forty-fve years; Jesse, %. for
thirty-fve years. The ignorant ne
eroes were deceived into believing
that it was right to bind themselves
for such long periods.
Even at this early day kidnapping
had begun. Negroes whose terms Of
service were about to expire were
seized and carried off to the south
and sold into servitude more wretched
than before. The hiring of negroes to
work in salt mines, legalized by stat
ute in 1914, served as preteXt for
holding slaves in other parts Of the
state. TO roll a barrel of salt once
a year or to put salt into a salt cellar
was sufficient excuse says Gov. Flow.
er, for any man to hire slave and
to raise field of corn
Wholesome food, sufficient clothing
and lodgings were to be provided for
each slave. The outfit for servant
was enumerated as follows: "a coat,
waistcoat, pair of breeches, one pair
of shoes, two pairs of stockings, q
hat and blanket" No provision was
made for a future increase and there
was no penalty for failure to provide
the original outfit. Lazy or indiffer-
ent servants might, on an order from
the justice of the county be punished
by whipping.

STURDY MINERS or BUTTE

Probably nowhere in the world is
there such a forceful, virile body Of
workers as are the miners of Butte.
There are no graybeards. They are
social rebels; not that they chant the
Carmagnole to the waving of the
black flag of anarchy, but in the sense
that back in the well-ordered civiliza-
lion of the east they rebelled against
poverty and pushed on to the from
tier, big-muscled, red-blooded, deter
mined to sail the ship of their destiny
into pleasanter places than their boy
hood knew. From the copper mines
Of Berehaven. in the County Cork.
from the coal mines of Tipperary,
from the tin mines of Cornwall and
from wherever in Western Europe
men 60 down into the bowels of the
earth for treasure, the sturdy young
men of the mines came to America,
says Tom watson's Magazine. At the
Atlantic seaboard they heard the
story of Mr.. Baer and his partnership
with God in the anthracite coal fields
Of Pennsylvania, of the company store
and the company shack, with its yell
low fever paint by way Of decoration.
In company with their American
brothers they started across the con-
tinent to the Hooking Valley Of Ohio.

Tho Nigeria Region.

Nigeria is an important region In
Africa and comprises the whole of the
British sphere with the exception of
the colony and the Protectorate of
Lagos), within the lines of demarca-
ton arranged by the Anglo-German
agreements of 1885, 1886 and 1898, and
the Anglo-French agreements of 1889,
1890, and 1898. The region covers be-
tween 100000 and 100000 square miles,
and its population is variously esti-
mated at from 25,000,000 to 10000 900,
but in the absence of any census, no
reliance can be placed on such esti-
mates. 1t is certain, however, that a
great number of towns in Nigeria con-
tain considerable population. For adj
ministrative purposes Nigeria Is tenn
porarily divided into two governments,
Northern Nigeria and Southern Nj
geria, but in the absence of any data
it is impossible to say which section
has the largest population. Brigadier-
