Some weeks ago there appeared in

that James Fl. McBain, the murderer
Of Theodore and Charles frost of
this county, and who was convicted
of murder in the second degree and
sent to the penttentiary for life
some five years ago, had been par
doned, and on request, wrote the
Governor concerning the matter, and
received the following letter:
Salem. January 25th. 1911. Mr.. John
S. Hodgin, La Grande, oregon.

letter of January 2Srd in regard TO

possession of the Secretary Of State

county, and know nothing of the
facts i'm this case, have been instru-
star chamber work. We maintain
courts to administer law and Justice,
and who hear the facts in the case
from both sides, then why should
the acts of the courts and their
judgments be set at nought by Pc
titions circulated by relatives and in
terested parties, and signed by peo-
pie who know nothing of the facts
and who often sign the same through
sympathy or a desire to get rid of
the opportunities of those circulat-
ing the same?
No honest man is ashamed of do
ing good or noble acts. If it is a
proper thing to recommend the par
don of criminals. after conviction,
why should thene be any secrecy
I about it?
1t is the certainty of punishment,
rather than the severity, that de-
ters criminals. The wholesale abuse
of the pardoning and paroling pow
er is rapidly making the respect
for law farce. Such work as this
leads to the worse condition-the es-
tabashing of Judge Lynch's Court.
rhe law OF this state requires twen-
~ days notice to be given the Dis
trict Attorney, before the application
for pardon is acted upon SO that
the nights of the people may, be
projected, and it is not the intent
of the law that an Acting Cover

without such no,ice. and turn loose

to be.

constantly 1lled with oil assessable at

that the oil doesn't stay for any ap-

The company sets forth that the oil
Is constantly flowing in from the Penn
