them from England the idea Of and
started the first building and loan So
ciety in the United States in 1881, II
they could have been present here to-
day at the opening Of the eighteenth
annual convention of the United
States League of Local Building and
Loan association. Little did they
think, perhaps, when they organized
the first society in Frankford, now q
part of Philadelphia, that the idea
would grow into the popularity and
power It now possesses.
At today's convention were dele
gates from all corners of the union
representing about 5000 associations
with membership of nearly two mill
lions and total assets of almost $500.
100000. The league will discuss at
its session today, and those to be held
tomorrow, matters for the protection
and promotion of building association
interests.

CONTEMPT OF THE SUPREME
COURT AND OF THE PEOPLE.

| 1OON1 AMI OF l1E TEOELG-
AS announced by telegraph, Col. Dun
can B. Cooper, the murderer of Senator
Carmack, has been pardoned by Gov.
ernor Patterson of Tennessee This act
of this executive is in contempt of the
Supreme Court and of the people o.
that State. 1t is unquestionably ths
boldest and the most fragrant exercise
of executive authority recorded.
Assuming to be greater than the Su.
preme Court and of the people, in writ,
| ing the pardon he declared:
"In my opinion neither of the defend,
ants is guilty and they have not had q
fair and impartial trial, but were con,
victed contrary to the law and evidence.
Could an executive be more brazen!
Could his defiance of law and justice
have limit more sweeping?
AS jury, Judge and executioner, Gov
ernor Patterson in one breath has de
creed that the Coopers are not guilty
notwithstanding the opinion of the ST.
preme Court of Tennessee, which has
affirmed the decision of the lower court
including the jury's verdict, which is
guilty as to Col. Duncan B. Cooper, but
is reversed and remanded on a techni-
cality as to Robin Cooper, his son, who
participated actively in the murder OF
Senator Carmack.
Is it not reasonable to assume that il
there had been any flaw offering oppor-
tunity for a bubble, even on a hair
| splitting technicality, that Colonel Coop
er would not have profted therefron
and would have been granted a new
trial, as it applies to his son Robin, who
has secured reversal of the lower
courts decree and whose case has been
remanded for re-trial in technicality
The tendency of Supreme Courts Of
States is towards the exercise of len
iency in the strained construction OF
trivialities through which the trials Of
criminals, conducted at great expense
and frequently through the greatest dis
advantages to the State, are reversed.
1t would seem that all these fine hair
splitting points of law were wanting as
to Colonel Cooper, the affirmation Of
whose guilt on a review of the case by
the Supreme Court of Tennessee fixed
the decree of service in the penitentiary
for a term of twenty years. And yet
hardly before the decree of this Su-
Preme Court has been rendered
Governor Patterson had written the
pardon, which has restored freedom and
citizenship to cold-blooded murderer
Perhaps this pardon is decreed as in
part payment of some political obliga-
ton, but it is to such outrageous pro-
ceedings that the defiance and the con-
tempt for law is openly manifested by
men having some assurance of immun-
ity from the powers that be, and it is
such contempt for the people which
gives encouragement to lynching.
1t is needless to say that the law
abiding and the self-respecting citizens
of Tennessee have been aroused to in
dignation and will make their resent
ment felt in no uncertain sound, but all
their denunciatioris nor protests can
avail in staying the liberation of Col
onel Cooper, who, if pardoned, is MUIR
derer still, nor can he ever efface from
his hands the blood of his victim, SEN
ator Carmack, his political enemy, whom
he murdered deliberately and cowardly.
