STATES Sinking RESPONSIBLE


II is time for sister states of Massa-
ehusetts to make vigorous protest
against recent act in that state, by
which forger was pardoned ON the
stipulation that he leave the state OF
Massachusetts, Inasmuch as the mans
act was committed in Massachusetts, and
he was tried and convicted in that state
and he has been imprisoned in that state
for four years Of his sentence. II is no
more than right that Massachusetts
should receive him now that he is to
be released, provided the pardoned man
should feel disposed to cast his lot there
and endeayor to build up bis shattered
life, And we are glad to see that at
least one Massachusetts, newspaper (the
Boston Transcript sees the injustice OF
the pardon stipulation for the contem-
porary says that "it is hardly treating
our neighbors well that one of the con
ditions Of his pardon is that he shall
leave the state. Furthermore, The Tran
script says "If he is entitled to pardon
at all, he is entitled to chance to prove
that he is worthy Of it in the jurisdc-
tion where his offenses were committed.
1t looks too much like passing our bur,
dens on to Others
Indeed it does And it is pursuing a
policy which has no reason in it. Sup
posing Vermont should pardon one or
more of its murderers on the condition
that those murderers should at once
leave the state, never to return, and
that they should go to Massachusetts,
to settle. Would not Massachusetts, OBJ
iect most seriously? We are inclined to
think so. We should say in that case
also that Vermont was trying to shift
it's responsibility in manner unworthy
of dignifed commonwealth. If Yer
mont thought the murderers fit subjects
to set at large in society, then it should
have assumed its share of the burden of
making those murderers worthy mem
bers OF society once more To have
passed them along to some other state
as undesirable citizens would have been
a tscit admission that the pardon was
not justified. In similar, though perhaps
lesser, degree is the actual case now
at hand in the release of a convicted
forger in Massachusetts. Some other
state, possibly Vermont, has been forced
to assume a responsibility of re-estab-
lishment Of this man in society. How
ever, Vermont viii not turn cold shout
der on the man, if he shows the right
spirit; but it does resent Massachusetts,
act in washing its hands of the Job.
