PRESS COMMENT
A GRAVE ABUSE.
lTucson Citizen)


 In taking advantage or almost every absence of Governor Sloan from the territory to exercise as acting gov ernor the pardoning power Secretary Young is not enhancing his record as an administrative officer nor that oI the administration whose commission he holds. In the past his friends, CT whcm be has many in the territory have refrained from public criticism of his reckless use of the pardonlns power in the hope that each o1ense in this regard would prove She last But apparently Secretary Young has net vet had his eyes opened to the grave impropriety of which he has been guilty in practically usurping this gubernatorial function whenever the OpDortunity offers. Last Saturday without the slightest excuse for has ty action. the acting governor paTolea a criminal sentenced less than year ago to twenty years imprisonment for assault with intent to kill He Tol- lowed this upon Monday by parolin3 prisoner serving a fourteen year term
 It is difficult to believe that Gov ernor Sloan views with equanimity violation of the spirit of the law and certainly an examination of the long list Of the pardons granted by the acting governor during the sempor- ary absences from the territoTy Of Goyernar Sloan forces the conclusion that Secretary Young is dangerous person with whom to entrust tue par doning power. His record in this re spect suffers contrast with that of President Taft. whose outrageous re fusal of pardon to Walsh and Morse was recently announced. Secretary Young would do well to read. Re gardIess of the merits or demeTits 1t the cases in which be has acted, there can be no excuse for the act ing governor taking advantage of the governors absence to issdo pard9ns in cases with which the latter IS en- ti~cly familiar
 Apparently Secretary Young thinks Governor Sloan is unftted to ever else the pardoning power, but we are confident this opinion is not shared by the people of Arizona or the depart ment of the interior. The time is passed when this reckless abuse CT the pardoniug power can be excused on the ground of big heartedness or : benevolence. It is rapidly developing into a scandal and a halt should be called by Governor Sloan al once In the interest Of the decent and order ly administration of justice.
 ! It is furthermore a regreuabIe spec taele to note that the United States attorney has elected to violate that wise precedent under which his prede- ccssors have refTained from assOciat- ing themselves in criminal eases, while serving as the prosecuting of- fcef Of the United States government 1t is difficult to believe that United States Attorney Morrison was cor rectly quoted In his implied criticism of the supreme court for it's decision in the case Of the prisoner paroied by the acting governor last week. Mir. Morrison is an officer Of that coart and any criticism of it's rulings comes with ill grace from such a source.

MARSHFIELD, Mo-, Jan. 21.-The
fate of Walter A. Dipley and Goldie
Smith, charged with the murder Of
Stanley Ketchel, pugilist. will be in
the hands of jury Monday afternoon.
The defense rested its case late this
afternoon after the woman had oc-
cupied the witness stand for nearly
three hours, and had told the story
OF an alleged assault upon her by the
pugilist, and of the events following
Immediately afterward Her testi-
rnony was of the most part corrobo-
ration OF that of Dipley earlier in the
day.
At the opening of court Monday
Trial Judge Skinner will give instruc-
tions to the jury, it is believed, to
return verdict of murder in the first
or second degrees, or acquittal In the
case of Dipley, and verdict of ac-
quittal or completely before and after
the attack against the woman. Ar
guments by counsel will follow I'M
mediately afterward.
The testimony of these two witness
es briefly summed up. shows clearly
that Ketchel was assassinated, having
been shot from behind with the only
warning, throw up your hands The
defense has relied solely upon the
self-defense and '.unwritten law
pleas, the two prisoners having beer
/ the only material witnesses that were
examined.
Although a strong case has beei
made against Dipley, it is predicted
1 freely that Goldie Smith will be .ac
I Quilted Of the charge OF being an &C
! cessory.
The testimony of the woman thi
afternoon explaining story of a bruta
attack upon her, seemingly had bu
| little effect She admitted havinl
been married twice and that evel
