GOVERNOR WHO STANDS FOR
LAW.

The wave of sentimentality aroused
in behalf-of Stripping did not affect the
cool, sober, sound judgment Of Gov.
Brown. He has refused to pardon the
murderer and Stripping must serve
some time, at least, as punishment for
his cowardly crime.
The evidence all showed that Strip
ling shot his victim down through a
window, nearly at midnight, as the
man was undressing to retire. 1t was
a cold blOOded assassination, STRIPPING
going a mile or two out of the road to
his own home to commit the deed. The
victim was shot in the back. There
was nothing about the crime that was
not despicable. A jury Of the county,
the men among whom Stripping was
raised and who were we'll acquainted
with all the parties and facts, found
him guilty of murder, the courts re-
fused TO set aside the verdict, STRIPPING
escaped and now, after the passage Of
some years, efforts are made to Sc
cure his unconditional pardon on the
ground that he has been an exemplary
citizen since.
Gov Brown punctures these claims
and stands for the UNFOLDING Of the
law. If an assassination of the char
acter committed by STRIPPING is to be
condoned by the fact that the murderer
thereafter lead an ordinarily decent
life, what protection will there be for
any man if another party takes offense
or entertains a grudge against him. A
pardon for Stripping would have been
! in fact an almost open invitation TO
Georgians to settle personal troubles
by the use of a shot gun at midnight,
with the implied understanding that if
an escape could be made and no furth-
er crime committed within few years
a pardon might be confidently ex-
pected. Gov Brown has taken the
right stand, the courageous stand, in
refusing to establish such a precedent,
and the applause of all law abiding
citizens should be given to him. A
few more refusals to pardon men who
have shot down men in cold blood N
the settlement of real or fancied in
juries will do much to bring to an end
the reign of blood shed that disgraces
the state, 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that Gov Smith will not undo the good
work that Gov Brown has done.

GILT is AT LAST PERSONAL.

In the Public Utilities Commission
law, which was finally enacted by the
New Jersey legislature just before its
adjournment. there is an innovation Of
far-reaching consequences. The act re-
quires every public utility to file with
the Commissioner a statement verified
by the oaths of its president and sec
rotary setting forth the name, title of
Office or position and the authority,
power and duties of every officer, mem
Der of the board of directors, trustees
or executive committee, superinten-
dent, chief OF construction and opera
ton or of any department, division or
line, in such form as to disclose the
source and origin of each administra-
tive act, rule, decision, order or other
action of the corporation"
The obvious purpose of this provis-
ion, the Philadelphia Record points
out, is to fix responsibility for any cor
porate act upon the person through
whom the corporation acts. If such
act is in violation of law the indiyid-
ual offender would be known and
could be made amendable. 1t is further
provided that any person who shall
60, or participate in causing a public
utility to do, or who shall advise, per-
suade or order any officer, agent or
employe of the company to do any act
forbidden by the law, shall be guilty
of a mtsdemeanor. Finally like pro-
vision is made for any neglect to
perform duty required by the law TO
be done. Here again this innovatory
Legislation reaches out for the living,
flesh-and-blood person or persons
through which the bodiless and soul
less corporation must necessarily act
Much has been heard of late years
about individual and personal respon-
sibility for corporate offenses. The
shibboleth that guilt is personal" has
rung through the land In this revo-
lutionary New Jersey statute may be
found the first attempt to give manda-
tory legal effect to a principle which
everybody admits TO be just and right
The principle ought to be extended to
cover corporations of every descrip-
ton and all offenses of law and not be
confined to public utilities and viola
tons of specific statute. Fines and
other money penalties are entirely in
adequate as restraints of corporate
crimes. In many cases they become
mere licenses to do wrong.
The passage Of this act is a personal
triumph for Governor Wilson and will
do much to strengthen the esteem IN
which he is held by the country at
large.

Took His Mothers Advice.

A strong and rather brutal-looking
young man was brought before mag

fellow, in a subdued tone Of voice.

good at book work, and you don't like
the idea of going into the army, and

hall artist. l tell you what you should

(By Dorothy Dix

One of the burning problems Of
matrimony, that gives rise to endless
strife and discord in families, is the
amusement question. The mere men
ton of the subject, to the average
husband, has the same effect on him
as Haunting a red rag before a mad
bull; while women have simply picked
the proposition in their tears.
l get hundreds of letters on this
topic Those from the men are short
and angry What shall l do with a
wife who wants to be gaddia3
around?" they say.
The women's letters are fearful. Il
am good wife and mother" they
say. Il do all of my homework, and
make all the clothes for the family;
but when my work is over, I would
like to go about a bit and see some
thing fresh and new; but my husband
does not think that I should ever
want to leave the house He never
takes me anywhere or wants me to
have any pleasure"
And so the endless contention goes
on-the husband getting more and
more disgruntled, and the wife feeling
more and more as if she was a martyr;
and the trouble is that each side has
a perfectly good argument from its
own point of view.
A man who has worked all day long,
who has been on tense nervous
strain, and who has given out every
particle of vitality that is in him, al
most certainly has right to stay at
home of an evening and rest, if he so
desires.
The husband, however, should meet
the wife half way in the amusement
compromise If he doesn't want to go
with her to places, he should try to
offer her some appreciation of her
position He should show her that he
understands that her work is monot-
, Onous, and that she needs some change
to brighten her up.
after all, women are as easily di-
verified as children, and if men really
understood the joy that a woman gets
out of taking a little trip, and how
happy an evening at the theatre and a
sandwich and coffee makes her
surely we should see more husbands
and wives out together, and hear less
! of the complaint, My husband never
wants me to have any pleasure"

Statesmen Take History Lesson.

Jefferson Levy, again a congress.
man, passed through Peacock alley al
the New Willard Hotel, says the Wash
;ngton Herald. Senator Brandegee, OF
Connecticut, and others were discuss
ing what the special session of con-
gress ought to do. AS Levy passed il
was recalled that his name was JEFF
ferson. Then some one remarked that
no one in the group could tell who
was vice president during Jefferson S
second term.
81 give it up" was the answer of
all, including statesmen and Journal
lists.
But that big chap across the way
can tell" said Senator Brandegee, and
he pointed to Daniel Davenport, the
able Connecticut lawyer.
Ask Davenport. He knows the his
tory of his country better than a Yale
professor" was the added advice, so
the question was repeated to Daven-
port
Davenport replied like shot from a
gun.
George Clenton, and he died n
office He is buried at Kingston above
New York, and this ended the short
lesson in history.
The remark was made that few
statesmen of to-day can tell historical
facts of that character off-hand and
it was also remarked that public men,
especially vice presidents and sem
ators. soon are forgotten.
