No Reason for Pardon.

Governor Deneen's refusal to par
don ex-Judge Abner Smith Of Chicago,
convicted of wrecking a bank, will not
want for popular approval. The par
don appeal was backed by men of in
fluence and a strong argument made
that Judge Smith had already suffered
enough in the disgrace of conviction
and that he would not repeat the Of
tense. The governor tool the opposite
view, that, with an intimate knowl-
edge Of the law and the penalties in
Cured, Judge Smith had the advan-
tage of a higher training and better
surroundings than the ordinary man,
and still less excuse for committing
the crime. A prison term was no
more a bar to his re-entering honor
able employment than to one of lower
station, in fact, he would have more
helping hands on emerging than the
average convict.
The principal reason given by Gov
ernor Deneen for refusing a pardon,
however, is the force of example.
There is q prevalent opinion that the
rich or influential criminal can escape
punishment. This idea is s~ubversive
of the doctrine of equality before the
law or which our government rests
and Governor Deneen properly refuses
to encourage 1t. 1t is a fair presump-
ton that every legal u was ex-
hausted in defending the accused, in
fact, no pretense is made that the
conviction was not supported by the
evidence, but the judges previous
reputation and his age is urged as
justifying clemency. Judge Smith is
to be pitied for forfeiture of his lib
erty and for his mental suffering, but
no more so than any other convict
who is r%epentant.

The champlain Celebration

The three h%undredth anniversary of
the discovery of Lake Champlain by
the French explorer, whose name it
bears, is to be made a notable occa-
sion next month with suitable cere-
monies, in which representatives Of the
British, French and United States
governments, as well as of Canada and
the states Of Vermont and New York
are to participate.
To the Frenchman the retrospect
suggested by the celebration must be
a sad one OF the vas domain which
the intrepid men under Champlain
brought to their nation, a little island
on New Foundland is all that remains.
At the same time, the lands discovered
by Champlain are the remnant of
British dominion on the continent,
whose original holdings, by virtue of
British discoveries, are embraced
within the United States.
Three hundred years is a brief span
in the worlds history, but nowhere
has such a transformation been made
in that time as in the wilderness
through which Champlain marched. A
country sparsely peopled by savages
has developed into one of the mos
thickly settled and enlightened com
munities in the world, and almost
within sight of the lake is the worlds
second largest city. IN that wilder
ness, thousands of miles from central
restraint, the idea Of individual lib
erty was planted and grew until abso-
lutism and despotism has departed
from enlightened nations.
The present generation can scarcely
conceive the hardships endured and
the courage and resourcefulness re.
quired of Champlain and his follow.

nenortinr Alien Criminals.

Over 800 alien criminals now in the
New York penitentiaries are to be de-
ported by the federal authorities, hav-
ing been in this country less than
three years before conviction Of crime.
This is the frst fruits Of the criminal
census taken last year by the federal
authorities. While the United States
always welcomes desirable emigrants,
both our laws and sound policy oppose
the admission OF known criminals.
When discovered at the ports of entry
the alien criminal is excluded imme-
diately, and If conviction follows
within three years of entry he is still
amenable to deportation, without
such restriction the United States
would speedily become the haven for
all the liberated convicts Of other
countries, and foreign governments
are not above the suspicion of en-
couraging the emigration Of undesir-
ables.
The deporting Of convicts will rid
us of many of the purely vicious class,
but 1t is doubtful whether either ex-
clusion or deportation a keep out
the really shrewd criminal who wants
to get in. The professional crook has
no more respect for immigration laws
than for other laws. and, IL deported,
will return in spite OF restrictions il
he is bent on doing so. If only a
small per cent of the deported are
permanently excluded, however, some
good is accomplished.
While investigation Of prison rec
ords discloses a large per oent of the
inmates to be foreign born, our own
country furnishes quite its share of
penitentiary birds who, because they
are indigenous, canno be shipped out
of the country. To get rid of the for
eign born criminal is only part Of the
problem to be met. Crime draws no
lines at nationality, and punishment
and reform cannot distinguish be-
tween birth places.

EDWARD E R HALL

Kansas City Journal: He leaves to his
own posterity and to America in common
with his descendants the unrivaled heritage
Of a career worthy of the best there Is in
American life.
st. Louis Times: Edward Everett Hale
ideally typified the American gentleman.
His mind was clean and his body strong
because of the purity of both his PHYSICAL
and mental life.
Louisville Courier-Journal He was a
theologian and minister who declared that
he had learned, when he was not yet 6
years old, all hat is very important to
believe in the business of theology. He
had learned to love the truth, to fear God,
to honor his parents.
Chicago Record-Herald: No uttered
tribute to this noble man can be other
than poor and feeble compared with the
silent tribute which will go out toward
him from the hearts of his countrymen as
spontaneously as his loving helpfulness
went out toward them.
New York Tribune: He was an advo-
cate always of charity and fellowship
among men. His career was intensely
active, full OF years, honors, kindly words
and good works. He leaves behind him a
gracious memory as a man of letters, as a
religious leader, as a patriot and as a
citizen.
Boston Transcript: Boston's first citizen
is gone; there Is no successor in sight--no
one, at least, combining so many talents,
so much distinction. There is no one whose
work has been so varied, so fruitful in
good-so rich in the grace and sweetness
in which American life is so ~lamentably
poor, with all our wealth.
Brooklyn Eagle: Without detracting from
others, it can be said that he demanded
civil service reform before any reformers
sought to set it in. law. He started emf
grafton for freedom to Kansas a little be-
fore even Lincoln saw its value. He
dreamt the dream of GO west, young
man, go west" before Greeley wrought it
into words, and parties formed around it.

Something Wrong at Annapolis.

Out of a graduating class of $50 at
the Naval academy, forty-three were
dropped for physical inability to per-
form the duties of naval officers, and
last year, out Of about 200, eighty
met the same fate. When it is con-
sidered hat entrance examinations at
the academy are supposed to be ex-
ceptionally strict, this does not seem
to be a good showing. The young
men are educated at government ex-
pense because the country needs them,
and if. after four years at the acad-
envy, they prove unfit for service, the
government is deprived of needed off,
GERS and four years time and the ex-
pense of educating them is wasted.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer has
very properly ordered a searching in
quiry to ascertain where the fault lies.
II the physical entrance examination
is not strict enough, 1t should be
raised, and if the fault lies within the
institution, the remedy should be ap-
piled speedily. If the young men are
really physically perfect ON entrance,
it does not appear possible that with
proper regulations, such a large per-
centage would break down under a
reasonable curriculum. Even If the
physical shortcomings develop after
admission to the academy, the defects
ought to be ascertained before the
r-
sooner applied.
Naval duties require strong men,
and no objection can be made to in
sisting that graduates meet the high
est tests. But this is not a country
of weaklings, and enough young men
can certainly be found to measure up
to both the physical and the mental
standards If a thorough search is
made.

AN ILLUMINATING EXAMPLE.
Pertinent on Condition. at
Fort LeavenwOrth.

An illuminating example of the virtue
and excellence Of the abolition of the army
canteen has just been presented in LeaVen-
worth. The sordid details-the riots, the
killing and wounding,. the paralysis of law
and order, the drNnksn soldiers run down
by the railway trains, and all the rest OF
twill reach us gradually; and all this
because the old, orderly canteen at the
army post has been suppressed and the
soldiers now have to go outside to the
low doggeries and deadfalls, for their re-
taxation.
The woman's Christian Temperance
union and its advisers who invaded con-
gress some years ago and extorted the
calamitous legislation from the weakened
statesmen at Washington must be proud
Of their work. OF course the stain OF
rum selling at the army posts, which is
to say the ~dispensation of beer and light
wines under careful surveillance and with
every result OF temperance and comfort,
has been e~rased-score that for holiness!
now in the posts and barracks there
are only the guard rooms and the hospi-
tails to tell the tale. The most e~xacting
lady can visit them, with her spiritual
adviser and her starched and ironed lit
tie girls, anu never see q thihS ShONh
her most delicate sensibilities. Not even
a cork pops, and there is no clink Of con-
vivaI glasses within earshot. The rush for
the distant barrooms, the dance houses and
worse, together with the staggering, after
midnight procession of return, the minis
trations of the surgeon and the ~jailer--
these are outside the observation of the
visiting academicians and their immediate
evangelists. For them the whole prospect
is swept and garnished, and everything
makes for righteousness-and concealment.
We congratulate the pr~opagandists on
their victory. All is quiet, not to say vir-
tuous, as far as they can see; and besides,
Kansas Is a prohibition state!

HAS ALDRICH GONE MADt
Opposition Of the Middle West to
Monopoly Protection.
Minneapolis Journal.

Minneapolis journal.
The highly protected industries of the
east have Senator Aldrlch for a mouth
piece. He not only treats with scorn the
tariff protests of the middle west, but he
is openly insulting about it. He is sowing
the wind.
For a generation the people have borne
the burden Of high protection. And they
have done so from patriotic motive. 1t
was important that our industries should
be developed and that by this method labor
should ave employment at a living wage.
The industries have been developed now
and we need high protection no longer.
Indeed, we are in as much danger of bust
mes paralysis from oveTprotection as Eng
land is from underprotection. The United
States has reached the middle ground of
plain protection. That is all 1t needs.
And with this plain protection there
should go free raw material. We should
have free lumber, free coal, free ore, free
hides and free oil.
We cannot have free lumber, apparently
because the south and far west have
united with the east against 1t, Very well.
Let us have instead a duty Of 81 straight
on lumber and free oil. coal, ore and hides
and we OF the middle west will consent TO
protection, but that protection which will
equalize wage differences at home and
abroad.
The republican party is on trial. II 1t
neglects 20 enact a broad and just tariff
bill the people will speak at the next cleo
ton with a voice that will rend the foun-
dstions. II a congress Of wild men shall
be elected Senator Aldrich can look to his
insulting bearing for the cause. We want
no congress Of wild men. We want the mer
who are in congress to regard the tariff
from "a patriotic standpoint, to discharge
their duty as representatives of the people

pure selfishness. II this course is not fol,

Prohibition Next Paramount

Charleston News and Courier (dem,).
Mr.. Bryan appears to be heading for pro-
hibition. When he was asked the other
day whether or not he expected to take
part in the contest on the liquor question
in Nebraska he answered.: II most cer-
tainly do, For eighteen years I have en-
gagged in discussing other questions, but
/ shall do my part to keep our party from
being controlled by the liquor interests"
This would seem TO indicate that Mr..
Bryan intends TO attack the American
electorate on another flank in 1912. We
do not know to what extent he will go into
the business Of sumptuary legislation, a
wholly undemocratic policy, but we can
count on him surely to do the thing that
will not only accomplish his defeat, but
the defeat Of the party upon which he has
fastened mis- hold. Three years from now
the prohibition movement will probably
have spent it's force, and we should not
be surprised to find the democracy under
the leadership Of Mr.. Bryan comely out
squarely for the further regulation and re-
strlction Of individual liberty.

Not Fonlinp ANYONE.

The intent Of the law is so plain no one
can mistake it. The mayor Is the ap-
pointive power. The council is authorized
20 scrutinizs the appointments in order that
II may reject such as in its judgment are
unfit or unworthy. When the council goes
further than that and refuses to confirm
any appointment, good, bad or Indifferent,
unless II can have ITS share" OF the APP
polntive power, It is clearly taking to itself
power that does not properly belong to it.
world-Herald.
Wonder IL the World-Herald mag
ines It can fool anybody into the belief
that It is sincerely unfolding the
power of the mayor to Ali the APP
polntive Offices unawed and uncoerced.
Surely 1t will not fool the mayor, who
will see no difference between being
dictated to by the council and being
dictated to by the World-Herald.
The World-Herald knows, and the
public ought to know, that the lght
between the council and the mayor
over appointments has become really
a fight between the mayor and three
Of the democratic councilmen. With
the council evenly divided rs between
republicans and democrats, no combi-
nation to share the spoils could be
effected without the help of some Of
the democrats. The fact is that the
democratic end of the combination at
the i~nstigation and with the enconr-
agement of the World-Herald have not
been Directing to giving the repub-
licans their SHARE" but have been
trying to dictate what democrats the
mayor should appoint.
1t is upon the last proposition that
the deadlock has been precipitated. If
the democrats in the council would let
the mayo give the republicans their
share" and fill the rest of the
places with his own selections
there would be a great deal better
chance of getting together" than
there is. Here is a chance for the
World-Herald to put into practice some
of the nonpartisanship which 1t
breaches between elections only.

Bloody shirt Gone Forever.

st. Paul Ploneer-Fftss
The demonstration at the nineteenth an
nual reunion of the United Confederate
veterans in Memphis on Thursday leaves
no room for doubt concerning the senti-
ment Of the men who fought on the other
side. Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, son OF
the man who defeated these same veterans
forty-five years ago. was in the reviewing
stand to watch the parade. When the men
in gray saw him they let out an old-time
rebel yell and charged the stand. They
iostled and struggled with one another in
the effort to shake hands with the son
Of the famous federal leader. The ovation
was as spontaneous as it was enthusiastic.
It was rompted by sincerity and was no
prearranged affair.
