THE POWER TO COMMUTE SENTENCES.

There is a mystery in the enactment Of the bill introduced by Senator
Wakelee. of Bergen County, in the Legislature and passed at the last session,
authorizing a county judge at any time to reopen a judgment in case of con-
vicHon of msdemeanor. 1t would appear that this act was introduced with
special reference to Essex County. The object of the law did not appear
until recently, when it was invoked for the purpose of having committed
the punishment of a man convicted and sentenced and sent to State prison
for N year and to pay a fine The ct invests a county judge with the
power to commute the sentence of a convict in State prison, a power hereto
forelo lodged only with the State Court of Pardons, and by the State Consti-
tuition vested in that tribunal alone. 1t would seem that if the Legislature
has a right by statute to make a eoun ty judge a pardons judge in cases
cited or in his W court the power thus given is capable of great abuse.
a tnture judge may, without the know ledge o. the public, set free n nan
convicted of msdemeanor and sent to prison for a term, exactng only a
nominal fine. The power might be dangerously used for political purposes.
Accused persons could be given heavy sentences with the option of under
going them to the fun or receiving clarency in consideration of services to
be rendered. The question may be asked whether this law, the object of
which has just been disclosed, is con situtonaL

HE PERIL OF THE JERSEY FARMHOUSE.

One of the most shocking murder tn gedes in the criminal annals of New
is that which vas enacted on a pretty farm near Wickatunk, in Mon
mouth County, OF Saturday morning, in which a farmer, his wife and
female servant were shot to death by n Austrian farmland. The arrest and
confession of the fend clears Up the mystery of the tragedy This ws the
deed Of a degenerate, and perhaps the law will hold the murderer irrespon-
shea and simply cage him. But it points to a danger ever present in our
State There have been outrages and murders in New Jersey in the past by
degenerates,= and they have usually occurred in lonely country places. Farm
es in need of help cannot be critical about the characters of those they en-
poy as farm help is always scarce even when the cities are eeming with idle
men. In South Jersey the pest is the vagabond negro from the South. The
recent butchery of two women o n a farm in Camden County by two negroes
who SOC afterwards expiated their crimes in the electric chair, cannot be
forgotten. In Middle and North Jersey the pest. is the vagant of the type
of Frank Zastera. who committed the butchery on Saturday morning in the
Monmouth County farmhouse. How shall this ever-pTesent peril in or State
be dealt with? Or is the State impotent to deal with it ata all?

Estimates of the strength of Secretary Taft as against the field opposed
to him fol- the Republican presidential nomination vary but o that all the
delegates to the national convention have been elected, it can be seen that
Taft has command of the situation at the present time If the convention
should be held tomorrow he would undoubtedly be nominated, and perhaps
on the first ballot. The question is how many of the delegates who are TO-
favorable ito Taft can be converted to another candidacy before the convention
assemblies. The "alies" will leave n o mean muied for his defeat, and every
weapon that IA be used against him will be welded. The most effective is
organized labor opposition o recount of Tafts decisions while a judge. The
negro battalion Issue has only awaited as al excu for some irresponsible
negroes sin the South, prompted by the Foraker men. to meet and elect bogus
contesting delegations. Probably if all of these tregulars are admitted to
seats, which isn't possible, Taft would still get majority The activity of
Foraker in manufacturing negro contesting delegations has served to make
white delegate votes in the North for Taft M a negro-battanon issue at
Chicago will only serve to soidfy the white delegation vote fr Taft The
"alnes" will have much better chances at Chicago if Foraker and his race issue
are eliminated.
