PARDoNs ISSUED
BY GOVERNOR BROWN

Since his refusal to pardon or commute
the sentence Of William H. Mitchell, of
Thomasville, The friends and political sup
porters of Governor Brown have been
heralding the advent of a new era in the
exercise of the pardoning power vested in
the states chief executive.
Governor Browns action In the Thorn
asville case met with well nigh universal
approval, and he was given every credit
for the. stand he took, not only by his
friends but by those who had opposed
him. 1t was the consensus of opinion that
he had done his duty and he was COM
mended for holding to his convictions In
the face of the strongest kind of pressure
on the part of Mitchell's friends, many of
whom were politically powerful.
That Governor Browns attitude in this
isolated case should be taken as estab-
fishing a precedent so striking as to con-
stitute new era" is, however, scarcely
borne out by the facts of two administra-
tions.
Those who are in possession of the fig
ures relating to the pardons and comnlu-
tations issued by Gov. Holxe Smith during
the first two and half months of his ad-
ministration were inclined to draw a COM
parison with the figures for the same
period OF the present administration.
This comparison, far from indicating
new era" shows that Governor Smith
issued fewer pardons than Governor
Brown, and that none Of the pardona

LABOR HAS FAT OF
LAND" WILSON SAYS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE aver
age laborer is today living better than
Queen Elizabeth did in her time" said
Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural de-
partment, today on his return from a
months vacation on his farm In Iowa.
He was discussing the prosperous con-
dition of the farmers OF the west and the
high wages of the working man in the
east.
Take the meat bills Of the laborers
in Washington today" he continued, land
you will find that they eat meat three
times a day-most of them-and what is
more they are not content with any
kind; they want the best cuts. They can
AFFORD them. AS q result the price of
meat Is away up. While the farmers are
producing more beef every year, they are
not producing enough to meet the in
crease in population. 1 do not look for
the prices to decrease materially soon. :"
The secretary was asked IL the western
farmers were really investing such large
sums of money in automobiles.
There is too much truth in those re-
ports" he responded. The farmer Is
out of debt; he has paid for his farm.
his fences and his machinery He has
money in his pockets. and big crops con-
tinue to come on. He is afraid to invest
in eastern securities, lest a year might
bring trouble there. As a result he puts
his money in luxuries. Why, folks in the
east do not know what luxuries are; they
must go west to find that out"

she was driven by the lash Of ccnscience
to tell the truth after having perjured
herself on the witness stand, where her
testimony secured the conviction of Jack
Worthington, a Barlow county farmer. to
20 years IN the penitentiary on the charge
of criminal assault, Rosa Elrod, the al.
legged victim, today made a sensational af<
fdavit In which she says her story OF
the assault was a pure fabrication.
The girl, accompanied by her father,
appeared today before a notary and the
attorneys for Worthington and denied
her whole story. She admitted having
improper relations with Worthington, but
said they were by consent and that he
was engaged to marry her. Her father.
]. S. Elrod, swore she made the same
confession to him.
Both father and daughter declared that
the false testimony at the trial was caus-
ed by threats of death to the girl, made
by enemies of Worthington who had dis
covered his relations with the Elrod girl
and wanted him lynched or Jailed Wor-
thington's attorneys will use the affida-
Wits in a motion for new trial now
pending in the appellate court.
