but would eliminate n grade that is
most expensive to operate.
The grade by way of Soldier Sum

talk that when this work starts the
line from Cotton toward Price is to

ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE
WRONG"

1t has been announced from New Or
leans that Joseph o. -Gowland, a notary
public, has confessed to irregularities,
such as forgery and grand larceny,
which aggregate about sixteen thousand
dollars.
In these transactions Gowland has
followed Maloney, Spitzfaden and In
gram yr., whose enbezz1ements were
limited to the amounts within their
reach. In comparison Gowland is a
small fry, minnow, with his shortage
of sixteen thousand dollars, when con-
trasted with the steals of srch whales
as Maloney, Spitzfaden and Ingram Jr.
He was the last man of their acquaint-
ance whom his friends would have sus-
pected of such misconduct. He was a
club man and a jolly good fellow. He
was highly esteemed by lawyers and all
those with whom he had business rela-
tions He was considered to be an
honest man and had promising future.
His wrecking is due to speculation.
He was moved by the get rich quick
spirit. One failure led to another, and
finally when he was detected in his ras-
caify he attempted suicide. The poison
he took was not sufficiently strong and
he was revived by the timely aid of
physicians.
The one distressing feature of the
case is that Gowland is married and he
lived happily with his young wife in
their humble home.
In this as in other casesG gre is the

of maudlin sentiment whic. is applied
to criminals who en1bezzie the funds

highwayman. but how many embezziers
of high degree are there in the pen?
The assertion may be ventured, with
the perfect assurance of its realization,
that neither Maloney nor Spitzfaden

pen, As to Gowland, his time in the
pen may be limited to the extent Of his
influence and his political pull. His steal

Al HAPPY BIRTHDAY

convalescence of her brothAr, Helm,

surprise birthday party at the home of

ALA was only three years old, and had

pretty cake ornamental with four pink

THE BOARD OF PARDONS.

To the good citizen of average intel

the crimes they commit. -Donaldson-

The Board of Pardons is trayesty
Of justice The board should be abol-
ished and the responsibility for all par
dons should rest on the Governor. A
petition for pardon should be enter
tanned only when it can be shown that
some fragrant act or injustice has been
committed or new evidence has been
discovered which would relieve the con-
victed of an unjust sentence, or posi-
bly, in some extreme cases where there
would be mitigation sufficient to war

THE BEN LEE CASE

THE BEN LEE CASE
In its last issue the Mansfield Enter
9rise refers to the Caucasian's editor in
glowing words of praise, hut by irnpli-
cation excerpts to the Caucasian criti-
ism of the abuse of the pardoning Of
men sentenced to the pen or on the
public roads.
Having quoted from the editorial
article this paragraph:
"Of what use are courts of justice if
men convicted of crime are to be par
doned on the plea OF Sympathy
The enterprise says:
IF we were circulating petition in
favor of Ben Lee, he is the first mag
we would have carried it to, and we
know he would have signed 1t and
begged that the prisoner, be released,
because a clause of the State Consfitu-
ton prohibits the sending of a person
to the road gang for more than six
months, and when Ben Lee was sen
fenced for twelve months the funda-
mental law of the land was violated, and
we believed that the editor of the Cat
casian to be the first man to insist on
righting the wrong, not for Lees sake,
but to vindicate the law, the safeguard
of life and liberty.
The Caucasian never hesitates TO right
the wrong, but it is patent that the En-
terprise is misinformed. Indeed, cor
sidering his ofense, Ben Lee has been
INDUCED with the fullest degree of
sympathy. He and his friends should
be well satisfied with this leniency of
Justice. He WAS indicted for embez-
element and he pleaded guilty to OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
Had he been tried for ENLIGHTENMENT, on
conviction he would have been sem
fenced to year or more in the State
penitentiary.
In this case the clause of the State
Constitution does not apply. He. did
not plead guilty to felony but to
Had he been sentenced
for felony the term on the public
roads could not have exceeded six
months, and if it had been twelve
months it would have been and would
be inconsistent with the Article of the
Constitution in question.
Unwittingly the Enterprise would re-
feet on the intelligence of the court in
which Ben Lee. was arraigned, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced Judge Murff
is too good a lawyer and too good a
judge to have been guilty Of such an
egregrious blunder, but if it were, why
should those interestedsin Lee not avail
themselves of the constitutional pre-
rogative involved in the case.
The Enterprise should not confound
Article ao2 Of the Constitution with
section 8 of Act 1oz of 1909. which the
Caucasian's editor has pefused care
fully.
Under this Act, misdemeanors are
graded. If the value, as in the Lee
ease, is twenty dollars or more, the
penalty may be with OF without hard j
abor for not more than two years nor
ess than three months. The imprison-
nent may be in the pen OF on the pub |
ic roads at the discretion of the court |
Having considered the plea and its
Judge Murff fixed the sem
ence on the public roads at twelve
months.

ion: OF what use are courts of justice
