TEMPERED WITH MERCY

The recent action of the state board
Of pardons in giving freedom to no
less than a half dozen prisoners will
meet with the commendation of the
good people of the state. For the most
part the men pardonej were young,

state board of pardons was organized,
actually paroled three young men. Pos

There being now In the electoral
college 483 votes 1t will take 242 to
elect a president. II the tables given
above are anywhere near accurate 1t
will be cen that Taft has an Immense
lead over Bryan at tho outset, because
he lacks only twentythree of enough
to elect, while Bryan at the outset.
without counting the doubtful states,
needs seventy-six votes in the cleo
toral college. 1t is true, however, that
the states counted for Bryan are more
certainly for him than quite a number
Of those counted for Taft, 30 that the
percentages OF chances as between the
two candidates Ia somewhat less than
the ratio of 76 to 20.
Just from Force Of Habit.
On the other hand, there are some
states classed as doubtful which are al
most certain to vote for Taft unless
there are unexpected developments
during the campaign. They are put in
the doubtful column more from force
Of habit than anything else, but 1t Is
just as well to let them stay there a
little. while to Offset the, possible mis-
take of screditing too many statee

-, NeWSYork the Pivotal State.
1t Is easy enough to see in any event
that New York is the key to the situa-
ton. There are several reasons for
this. In the first place, the same con.
dition of public sentiment which will
influence q national election in New
York $ liable to have an identical in
iuence in New Jersey. These two
states generally go together. They,
with Connecticut, were the home of
the strong Cleveland sentiment years
ago.. They both broke their necks to

jersey Uncertain Ground.
New Jersey has been doubtful in re-
gard to many congressional districts,
and several of her republican COVER
nors have had the best kind Of a run
for their money. New York has actu-
ally elected an entirely democratic
state ticket except assto the governor
and there are reasons to believe that

into the republican column for twenty.
nine votes more, which could hardly
be supplied by the states in the far
west which the democrats are in the
habit of claiming when they desire to
take aAParticularly rosy view Of the
'situation.
Taft a. strong AZ Mckinley.
b All the indications are that in the
prosperous communities of New York
and New Jersey, Taft 10 at least as
strong as Mckinley was. while Bryan
does not y appear to be materially
stronger than he was twelve years ago.
If this be ture, it would be safe to
group New York, New jersey, West
Virginia and Delaware together. Thai
would give Taft sixty-one electora
votes out Of the doubtful states and
would be quite sufficient to elect him,
even when allowance Is made for the
loss of two of three states in the 50
called republican column. On that
basis Bryan could secure d total OF
thirty-seven electoral votes from
Indiana, Nebraska. Colorado. Idaho,
Nevada and Montana and still be
twenty-nine votes short of an election.
Local Conditions In Indiana.
Indiana is admittedly doubtful, and
it will probably stay SO until election
day. This does not come from the
nomination of Kern for vice president
on the democratic ticket, although
that will have a local influence, oil
course, but from peculiar political con.
ditions in the Hoosier state. sff
In the rest of the Mississippi valley
and In Kansas there seems to be nc
special reason to believe that Bryan
mas strengthened himself of late.
The Injunction Plank.
Practically the only thing which
created much of a fight in the resolu
tions committee both at Chicago and
at Denver was the antiinjunctior

the courts and, In fact, the democrats
went ashttle further in this direction
than the republicans, or at least the,

CORTELYOU ADVOCATES
GOVERNMENT CONTROL
Says States Should Exercise Power
Over Corporations Created by
Them.

Syracuse, n. Y, April 22.-Secre-
tary Cortelyou was the guest of honor
at the chamber of commerce banquet
here last night and delivered the prin-
cipal speech, He said in part:
Corporations for conducting any
enterprise or managing any business
are of course differently situated from
individuals doing the same thing. IN
diyiduals owe nothing to the state for
their individuality. Before the state
or any earthly form Of government
began the individual was, and he
would be here, were all government
to be oyerthrown. That individuality
is incapable of annihiation.'
"A corporation, on the other hand.
owes its life 10 the government which
brings it into existence. II has only
such powers as that government
chooses to confer upon it. These
powers may be broad or they may be
very limited. The statutes granting
or providing for such corporations
have I'm many instances reserved -
tho state the right 10 alter or repeal
the charters and abolish the corpora
tiuus. Under these reservations much
legislation has been enacted for the
protection Of the public interests. II
would appear TO be in any case the
right of the legislature To- exercise a
reasonable supervision over the credt-
urrS of the government. This is csPe-
cIaIly true as T. corporations that are
endowed by the legislature with the
right 90 exercise the power of eminent
domain"
