Need Of a Pardoning Board.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
The States pardon mill is kept
pretty busy these days. AS an
nounced yesterday Governor Glenn
has just passed upon eight applica-
tions. These cases take up a great
deal of the time OF the governor
much more OF it than should be.
There should be pardoning board
to take this burden off the shoulders
OF the governor. This branch OF the
business of the executive office has
grown many hundred fold since the
law was enacted placing this duty
upon the governor. There are several
reasons why there should be II par
doning board. The power over life
and death should not be i'll the hands
of one man. 1t places two much re-
sponsibility upon the governor. 1t
takes up too much of his time. 1t
places him too often in situations
where the conflict between duty and
sympathy for the petitioner and his
sorrowing, grief-stricken friends is
most painful and distressing; where
as if the responsibility was placed on
several no one Of them would so
keenly feel the pain of the conse-
quences of placing duty before sym
pathy.
At any rate the law should be SO
amended as to regulate the manner
OF Investigating cases on application
for appeal. The governor should
not be required to act as Judge and
jury in trying a case over after it had
been tried in the courts as is now
very often done by him where pardon
is sought on the ground that the de-
fendant was improperly convicted
upon the evidence before the jury
We do not think it was ever contem-
plated that the governor should on
application for pardon, review the
work of the jury, with the power to
nullify its action because he differs
with it as to the weight which should
be given the testimony OF the wit,

Hang On to Your Policy.

Germantown (Pa,) Independent Gazette.
An editorial in one of the metropol-
itan newspapers, entitled "Hang on
to Your Life Insurance. has caused
considerable comment. Letters have
been received from policy holders,
some of them a little hysterically in
clined, asking if. in view of alleged
thievery of the officials of the big
companies, it is worth while to trust
in life insurance. Following is the
common-sense reply to all such in
quiries:
'Sure! One of the greatest disas-
ters that could happen to this coun-
try would be the general disposition
to lapse life insurance. AS a system
life insurance is a benevolence The
faults are the faults of the system,
the evils are not necessary evils. All
the big companies undergoing inves-
tigation are financially sound. They
have plenty of money to meet their
obligations. In fact, they have so
much that it became q temptation
to extravaganza.
Hang on TO your lie insurance
policy. If it is an ordinary life policy
you are absolutely secured by law
If it is of the investment character,
you may not get as much as the
agent promised you, but your money
is safe. If you become a lapser the
company gets the money you have
paid in and you get nothing.
"Don;t be frightened by investiga
ton. The cumpanies will be the
stronger for the search-light that has
been thrown upon their operations
The more investigation the better
Methods will be improved. Extrava
gances will be stopped. Economics
will be introduced.
"Do not rob your family. Hang on
to your life policy"

Buffalo Bill is Nearing His End.

\ dispatch from Omaha, Neb., says:
Pressed down by hard work, busi-
ness perpleXities, sickness and death
in his family and domestic troubles
and unhappiness, Buffalo Bill, the
famous old plainsman and Snowman,
is now threatened with a complete
breakdown. He now realizes that if
he would live and enjoy a fair degree
OF health, physical and mental, he
must make a yadical change i'll his
way of living.
Accordingly he's made up his mind
to quit the show business at the end
of the current year, return to his own
country from Egypt, settle down in
Wyoming where he is happier than
he is anywhere else in the world, keep
an eye on his big ranches and his
other business enterprises there and
take the world easier than he has
been wont to take it.
The physical and mental strain. to
which he has been subjected of late
has told upon his naturally rugged
constitution He has aged very rap
idly and preceptibly within the last
two or three years. 1t is now a
question of his taking better care OF
himself or suffering Il physical and
mental collapse.
The death of his eldest and favorite
daughter two or three years ago
nearly broke Colonel Cody's heart.
That was really the beginning OF his
troubles, physical and mental. The
outcome of his efforts to obtain a
legal separation from his wife added
to his unhappiness. He realizes now
that he made great mistake in ap-
plying for a divorce.
Some OF his earnest friends have
gone back on him because OF his eff
fort to get a divorce Practically all
| the men whose respect and friendship
he values have condemned him sharp,
ly for applying for a separation, and
have expressed sympathy with Mrs
Cody, whom they regard as an eccen
tric woman, but a faithful wife. Col
Cody sincerely regrets now that he
| did not heed the advice of his oldest
and best friends not to seek divorce
He feels Inundated and hurt at their
condemnation of his treatment OF his
wife, and at the loss Of that public
confidence and respect which he en-
JOyed SO many years.

A Natural Mistake.

Oliver Herford once entered a
doubtful-looking restaurant in a
small New York town and ordered a
lamb-choP. After long delay the
waiter returned, bearing plate on
which reposed a dab of mashed po-
tatOes and a much overdone chop of
mieroscopical proportions with a re-
markably long and slender rib at
tached. This the waiter sat down be-
fore him and then hurried away.
"See here" called Herford, Il or
dered a chop"
"Yessir,', replied the man, "there
it is"
"Ah, SO it is, replied Herford, peer
ing at it closely. Il thought it was

Senator Simmons secured that ap-

to handicap the latter in regard to

him under obligations to the Senator
Such rumor is groundless. Mr.. Sim
mons, we are informed, did not know
the President intended offering the
position to Mr.. Aycock. We think
that III justice to Mr.. Simmons the
newspapers of the State should give
as much publicity as possible to this
fact. No such false rumOrs, calcula-
ted to iniure the Senator, should be
allowed to go uncontradicted. Ii
