MischievOus Clemency.

The action of the Idaho Board
of Pardons in committing the
sentence of Harry Orchard will
subject that body to severe criti-
cism, and it's members will find
their exercise of clemency in
this case very difficult to justify.
BY his own confession, Orchard
had repeatedly earned the atten-
tons of the hangman. The par
ticular form of murder which he
affected is rated by common con-
sent one of the most revolving
and degraded. The man who
commits murder under the
stress of emotion and is moved
to his crime by personal griev-
ance may sometimes find sym
pathizers, but in well-balanced |
and healthy minds there is rare
ly any feeling save contempt and
loathing for the cold blooded as
sassin moved to his coWardly
deed by promise of pay. Even
if one believes, as so many do,
that Orchards confession was
tainted by falsehood, his assas-
sination of ex-Gov. Steunenberg
seems to have been clearly es-
tablished. In whatever light
the case is considered, the COM
mutation of his sentence will be
generally regarded as a grave
error. Assassination, both by
retail and wholesale, has been a
common crime in Idaho and 9th
err Western mining States, and
the murderers have rarely been
brought to book. In none of
the States was there greater
need of a stern and wholesome
example, yet the chance, when
offered, seems to have been de-
liberately thrown away.
Without desiring to call into
question the integrity or the mo-
tives of the pardoning board, it
is worthy ofnote that the friends
of Meyer and Haywood freely
predicted some such outcome in
Orchards case. While the
. charge that the prosecution had
bargained with it's star witness
in the Meyer Haywood trials
was emphatically denied at the
time, the after-event will be re
! garded by many as confirmation
! of the charge. Although the &C
cusation is doubtless withou
foundation in fact, suspicion viii
be strengthened by the wide be
a lief that no sufficient grounds ex
listed for the exercise of clemen
9 cy, and it can not be doubte'
= that the effect on the publ
. mind will be unfortunate. TN
. Idaho Board of Pardons coul
- hardly have chosen a worse cas-
for the exercise of it's prerogs
tive. Times Democrat.

That our American Forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
t0red Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until

DOUBLE HEADERS
TODAY AND SUNDAY

There will be two baseball games al
the league park this afternoon. The
keios will try conclusions with the
Punahous first, and then the Santa
Claras will see what they can do with
the Kamehamehas.
Dick Reuter- will be in the box for
the Kams, while Jones wears the mask
for the same team. Hampton is slated
to pitch for the Punahou team and
Lyman will catch.
Owing to the unpleasantness of last
Sunday it has been decided to have
two heads working on the decision end
of the game, and Steere and Albright
will share the umpire s honors
There will be two games also on Sun
day. The disputed game will be played
off between the Keio and Diamond
Head teams, and the sailors from the
Milwaukee will play an All-Hawaii
team. The following have been picked
to play on the latter team: Fernandez,
1b.; Vannatta, 3D.; Bushnell, 3D.;
Burns, S.; Bruins, If; En- Sue, cf.;
Hart, IF; Joy, c.; Hampton, p.
Manager Jessup of the Milwaukee
team speaks well of his players and a
very classy exhibition of the game may
be expected when the sailors line up
against the locals.

WHERE HAWAII LOST
DISTANCE IN RACE

A comparison of the course as chart
ed by the four yachts in the trans
pacific race, shows that notwithstand-
ing the poor start the Hawaii got, by
July s it was practically even with the
other three. In fact all four yachts
were very close together at noon July
s. The Hawaii continued to keep her
relative position, though far to the
north of the other yachts, until noon
of July TO- Then she began to fall
behind, and on July 16 was no farther
west than the Lurline was on the 18th
and was great deal farther north.
