Retribution Is Coming.
And it was all for politics. The
ermine of justice is dragged in the
miasma of the meadow-nay, it is be-
smirched by the quagmires of the
sewer. The goddess of justice is

single stroke of ruthless politicians
pen. But by the splendors of an
Eternal God, day of reckoning
cometh soon and retribution by Pat
terson is as certain as the fact that

Prostitutinu Law, to Politics.


Governor Patterson's pardon of
Duncan B. Cooper is the prostitution
of high and sacred office to the pay
ment of a low political debt. 1t is
doubtful if in all American history
there can be found more brazen in
suit to public conscience or deadlier
betrayal of the law. If ever state
had cause for shame and Indignation,
it is Tennessee today. Evidently the
pardon was as coldly premediated as
was the killing. Such acts were Gus
tomary and expected among Asiatic
oligarchs a thousand years ago. But
among an Anglo Saxon people and
under a Democratic government in
the twentieth century they are amaz-
ing. 1t is hard to say whether the
boldness or the badness of this gov
errors conduct is the more con-
spicuous. One might have thought
that prudence for himself, if not re
gard for his Office, would have de-
TERED, or at least have delayed him
for a respectable season. But before
the words were out of the judges
mouth, before the decision of the
court could be transmitted, he step
ped in, as Malcolm Patterson rather
than as governor of Tennessee, and
freed absolutely a man convicted Of
one of the gravest crimes against the
state.-Atlanta Journal.

"Infamous."
Personal vengeance should be un-
known to civilization. 1t is a terri
BILE thing, thing ineXcusable in any
case. but men are not stones and this
deed of TennesSee's governor is so
foul a blow at justice and at law that
it will not be strange if dire results
follow it, however much we hope they
will not. A few years ago Governor
Patterson was one of the most promis-
ing of POLITICAL leaders in the South.
In his hour of trial if he could not be
the Roman and remain true to his
pldege and oath of service. why could
he not have done the thing reason
ably? Why could he not have waited
a reasonable time before thus strang-
ling decency and making a mockery
of law? II matters not that in deal
ing this terrible blow to law and or
der he stabbed himself as we'll. 1t is
within the province of man to sac
rifice himself, but not if in the doing
of it he sacrifice the honor of a or d
state and disgrace it in the eyes of
the world. Rarely before in tie an
nails OF the several states has any
chief executive so fiagrantIv violated
all sense of decency. Never before
has any governor so openly connived
at murder and held the courts up TO
News and Courier
o Justice, What a MockeryI
Not since the days of reconstruc-
ton. when the courts of law in this
section were subverted by military So
traps and the despotism of the bayo-
net held supreme sway, has the cause
CT Justice in the South been given
such a blow. Governor Patterson's
abuse of his pardoning power as an
executive has put a premium upon
lawlessness and violence in every
state in the Union. The weakened
criminal will be encouraged to draw
the assassin knife upon the slightest

Clemency Promised?

CIemehcy PromIsed!
In view of the popular estimate of
Governor Patterson; knowing as the
public does, that he is at best a cheap
politician to whom factional interests
are more sacred than public duty, few
will doubt that the promise of execu-
tive clemency was made to Colonel
Cooper long before his conviction in
the trial court. We are unwilling to
go to the extent of endorsing the
view which many newspapers and in
dividuals have not hesitated TO ex-
press, that the promise of pardon was
made even before Carmack was muir.

and ought to yield no more anti Re-!es than- lis
just proportion of the revenues OF the carrier ,
the commission goes on to suggest that Con-
gress may constitutionaify protect Interstate COM
merce, as we'll as the carriers that are engaged IN
interstate transportation "by requiring that any
State traffic moved by such Garner shall pear
its just proportion Of the cost of operation and
yield its proper proportion of prott to the car
rier, and that with such an end IN view, 1t may
authorize this commission to fix minimum rates,
at least, for State traffic when moved by carriers
engaged also in interstate transportation, or that
it may provide that no carrier engaged IN the
interstate transportation of passengers or prop
erty may at the same time carry State trafhc at
rates that are less than the rates exacted by II
for interstate carriage of like distance and under
like transportation conditions
Such law would at one blow practically
iemasculate every State corporation and railroad
commission 1t would not only put the rail-
roads absolutely in the hands of the government,
but ON precedent it would, go instanti, put the
people absolutely in the hands Of the railroads.
incidentally, it would accomplish what has
seemed,-since Roosevelt advocated the passage
of measure which, if not constitutional, should
be made so "by judicial construction to be the
stamping out of such vitality as is left in the
moribund doctrine of Estates Rights. AS
matters now stand in transportation interstate
charges may be loaded with all the financial sins
'wherewith the history of railroad organization is
backened. The charge has fictitious basis.
While in the States, and in intrastate transpor-
tation, it has been found possible to fix rate
more or less commensurate with the actual in
vestment and the actual cost. To adjust the two
rates by national legislation would mean simply
to raise State rates practically throughout the
country
1t will be noted that the express company IN
this case is not contesting the State rate. NO
better proof than that is needed that it is not
lconfscatory and that it returns a reasonable
profit. It it were confscatory the express com
pany would of course appeal and, under the
broad powers of the Fourteenth Amendment, the
Federal Courts would lend ready to the
complaint. Yet, despite ruling under which,
for the ayowed purpose OF robbing the South
of its natural advantage in the manufacture OF
cotton, the New England mills are given rates
by which they can haul cotton fom the South
and then ship it to the Orient more cheaply than
Southern mills, it will be seen that there is
never suggestion that the way in which to
equalize interstate and State schedules is to
make the former conform to the latter For
tunately there is law by which the COM
merce commission can raise State rates.
And this, it would SEEM is the gist of its COM
plant.
