OF course it is difficult to de-

his friends WELD an influence in
matters. but had he been the or

walks of life. he would have
served his sentence long ago.
The wonder is that he was ever
convicted and sentenced.

IT is a good sign that SO many
people appeal to the Governor to
pardon criminals, but the same
people that appeal for pardon are
not the same that are ready to
criticise the governor for execu-
tive clemency. The trouble is
in most cases where executive
clemency is exercised is that it
is toward the fellow that least
deserves. because his position in
society should have enabled him
to avoid being in the tolls of the
law.

THE PARDONING POsER.

So far all newspapers have
spoken in no uncertain terms OF
the pardoning of Baxter Shem-
well by Governor Kitchin. This
power given to the governor Of
ten places him in an embarrass-
ing position, and in many times
formerly governors have fallen
down completely, but in most
cases it has been as in this case
of Governor Kitchin, where the
man applying for pardon was
backed by money and conse-
quently friends of influence.
This case was heard in Gull
ford superior court and a very
light sentence passed. The Su-
preme court Of the State said
the sentence was right. When
the governor reprieved Shemwell
until the spring all newspapers
said that he had made a mis-
take, but that he still had time
TO make good. Several weeks
ago notice was given that appli-
cation for communication of the
sentence would be made and
with one accord the press of the
State said that if the governor
did this he would make a mis-
tade. In the face Of this and
written protests Shemwell had
his sentence reduced from FIVE
months in Jail to five days and
pay a fine Of five hundred dollars
and the costs.
What does this mean to the
hundreds that are today serving
sentences on the public roads OF
the state for smaller offenses? II
means to them that they must
continue TO serve. the sentence
and ii they get sick they must
take such fare as they can get in
convict camp. 1t. means that
they must do this, not because
they did not have good charac-
ter before they committed the
crime with which they are
charged, but because they have
not the money to employ physi-
clans and lawyers and. pay fines,
and because they have not the
influence that the man with
money possesses. In other words
it means that the man that has
the price can commit crimes and
go unpublished. and if there be
any that doubt that it means
this to them they can find out
by asking them.
Since Governor Kitchin has
occupied public attention he has
not committed a blunder that
will cause his friends more sor-
row because in the fu.lre they
cannot have the high regard for
him that they had before.
