GEORGE FOLLOWS CUSTOM
OF PARDONING CONVICTS

King George, on coming to his
throne, has followed the ancient Gus
tom of opening the jail doors to a con-
siderable number of men upon whom
they had closed in the feign of his pre-
decesSor. 1t is not quite easy TO figure
out why he did this, says the New York
Times. In other days. presumably, the
thing was done, partly to give the i'm
preston that the new ruler was mer-
ciful and generous, and partly on the
fair assumption that the old king had
put a good many people In prison not
because they were criminals or other
wise dangerous to society. but because
they had interfered with the execution
of his plans or had otherwise made
themselves personally obnoxious to
himself or his friends. Those whom
one monarch incarcerated, of course.
another could release.
There are at present, however. no
political prisoners. properly so called.
and. as kings have nothing whatever
to do with the filing of jails. there is
no obvious reason why they should ex
ercise the pardoning power except as
a part of the laws regular administra-
tion and for considerations quite diff
ferent from those which must have
smoved the new head of the British
government Those whom he has set
free are criminals, not martyrs TO
opinion, and the people whom their
crimes injured are not likely to join
very heartily in applauding the royal
clemency.
But there, the pardons were in the
category of kingly rites established
aforetime, and of course 1t wouldn't
do to omit them. That they were an
achronisms. that they have ceased to
serve a purpose and to be explicable.
must be taken as arguments for rather
than against them. Forms have to be
scrupulously observed if an institution
that has come TO be itself merely
form is to be preserved a while longer.
The prisoners were freed for the same
reason that the ancient ceremonies of
proclaiming the kings accession were
carried out exactly as in the days
when there was no other way of
spreading the news. and the ancient
costumes OF heralds and pursuivants
had to be worn by the very modern
individuals who did the proclaiming to
people as well informed OF recent hap
penings as themselves.
For those who like such things they
are very Iikable indeed-and if the
truth were told, we all like them more
or less To laugh at them is permis-
sible but ii should be kindly and sym
pathetic laughter. with an underlying
sense of the utility there is in clinging
to old fashions. for the sake of their
associations and their picturesqueness
so long as they do not interfere seri-
ously with the adoption of newer and
better fashions. England is none the
less democratic because monarchical.

CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, June 11.-Surprisingly
large Yields of wheat in the Texas har-
vest fields were reported today. and at
the same time there We're generous
sales of the July option here by a num-
Der of influential houses. The offerings
of the new crop In the Southwest were
said to exceed the demand. Notice OF
an advance in storage rates for grain
in Chicago beginning July l had like
wise a bearish effect. The rise is the
first in ten years. and is equal to three
cents a bushel for twelve months
Lower cables tended also to ease off
prices in this market. Pit traders and
scattered commission houses consti-
tuted the only buyers. The opening
was a shade to " to " lower, with

ARGENTINE REPUBLIC MAY
HAVE THIRD SHIP BUILT.
State Department Learns of
Mystery in Contracts Awarded.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Although
the State department was largely in
strumental in securing for the Fore
River Shipbuilding Company the lucra-
tive contract from the Argentine gov
eminent for the construction of two
great d~readnoughts 1t apparently has
just learned quite incidentally" of an
interesting and important provision in
the contract.
This grants the Argentine govern
ment the option to have a third battle
ship built within a stated term for the
same price. as those now under con
struction. This fact ~transpired in the
course of a speech made on May 5 by
the President of the Argentine trepub-
lie to the Congress of that country.
Another important feature of h con-
tract which still remains yelled In
mystery is the period of time allowed
for the construction of the two ships
already under way. Much curiosity has
been shown by foreign governments On
this point, but 50 far the contractors
refuse to give I'M information con-
corning it. 1t is suspected that they
intended to try to establish a record In
the matter of battleship construction, if
not for the world, then at least for
America.

Noon-The market closed irregular
and dull. Amalgamated Copper got a
