Bookkeeper Who Helped The Govern

OF Liberty.

| BY Mr.. Gordon he was referred to the
department of justice at Washington
The upshot of all this was a letter
sent to Senator Borah urging that Of
ficer to take the matter up with the
proper authorities in Washington.
In his letter to Borah the governor
said:
Worse than the special agent nuis-
ance, however, is the practice that has
arisen in the department of justice
of taking prosecutions out of the
hands of the United States attorney
and his home assistants and giving
the control to special assistant attor-
neys-general. This custom has prevail
ed for the last four years. 1t is a
reflection upon the intelligence and
honesty of purpose of our home Of
ficers in the first instance and has
besides worked a great hardship on
many of our citizens. Our present
United States attorney and his assis
tants are, I venture to say, far abler
lawyers than those who have sup
planted them in the trial of cases like
the Lewiston bank case and the tim
Der cases. Besides, our home men
will do justice to our citizens, when
one of these rank outsiders is willing
to do an injustice in order to gain
success and perhaps increase his repu-
tation.

Clarence W. Robnett, former book
keeper of the First National bank at
Lewiston, who turned states evidence
against the other men who were i'm
plicated by the government upon
charges growing out of the embezzle-
ment of $137 900 from the bank, was
given conditional pardon by Presi-
dent VIM. H. Taft today, and walked
out of the Moscow Jail a free man.
The pardon was Robnett's reward
for three years of assistance given
the prosecutor in the case during
which he provided some of the doc
umentary evidence used and was the
principal witness of the federal prose-
cutor against his former employers in
the bank.
Robnett had been sentenced on sew
eral counts to the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth, the principal charge
against him bing that of conspiracy to
defraud the bank, upon which he re-
ceived ten years. For making false
entries in the bank books he received
fife years, and for the abstraction of
funds, he was also sentenced, but as
tie sentences ran concurrently there
was but ten years to serve.
The action of the President in par
Dol
deal of adverse criticism, and coming
so soon upon his sentence was a great
surprise. In his plea for c1emency
yesterday Robnett's attorney, Miles
Johnson Of Lewiston, is said to have
specifically stated that Robnett had |
not been promised immunity. Johnson |
told how Robnett had entered the |
bank as janitor and worked up until he
became the head bOok-keeper of the
big institution and the cOnf1dant of
the officials He told of how the
had been taken from the bank
and how Robnett had intended to
make good but had been disappointed
in some of the projects in which he
was interested. He stated that he
made the false entries in the records
of the bank to deceive the government
officials and that while he had no le-
gal defense for his acts, he had a
moral defense.
Governor is Wrath.
The pardon, upon the part of many,
IS regarded as direct slap at certain
high Idaho officials. Governor Haw-
ey has been especially active in the
Robnett case and has never made
| secret of his contempt for the special {
and special agents sent ]
" the federal government to meddle
n Idaho affairs; he has always main I
aimed that the local United States dis s
rict attorney is fully capable of cop I
ng with the situation, and has tried i
n every way to impress that idea on t
he federal authorities. il
When he became satisfied that
Ian was on foot to grant immunity n

that his departure means that he has

ment until Honolulu Is put in con-
dition that will make its sanitation

in the service who could have dropped

He then takes up another phase OF
life here, showing the extent and gen
crosity of benevolent activities among
the wealthy people.
Getting down to conclusions. he
says there are two tendencies among
the dominant people,--one coming
rom a group that believes quite
frankly that they are there to gov
ern the islands," and believe In frank
and absolute control of the people By
the white plantation owners"
or the other group. he says In clos
ing:
THE other group Is In part des-
cended from the old. earnest mission
AIRY stock Most of these men were
horn In the islands and love them.
They came out of an intensely reli-
gious environment and were raised In
modest homes where human helpful
ness was the keynote of life. They
have become aristOcrats not with en-
tire comfort; they have inherited
somewhat of the old democratic and
religious spirit. The New England
conscience survives among them. This
group tends to more democracy rath-
CT than less. II would like to see
more white citizens and settlers, II
would intrust more an more power
TO the present local governments, 4
would pursue vigorous policy of po-
pular education no matter what the
ultimate outcome, II already demands
an elective commission government

primary system. Il would extend rath-
er than restrict the franchise. and It
looks toward ultimate statehood ior

Of this group even believe that the
Japanese will be trusted as voters.
The present Governor Frear. a mildly
progressive man with judicial tenn

this side. But the problems are SO
great, and most OF the leading men
are so enmeshed In the business sys-
TEN that few have dared to get down
to fundamental conditions or to sug-
gest fundamental remedies.
These two groups. In fact, are div
ergent only upon more or less super
fetal issues. Like the old Southern
