PAROLING AND PARDONING.

+ Ohm r. WALSH, the Chicago financier and
bank wrecker, yesterday was paroled, the Gov
ernment Board of Parole having acted favofably
on his application although the President few
short months ago stated that Walsh was not de-
serving clemency.
There may be some circumstances in the case
that are extremely extenuating. Walsh is an aged
man in broken health, and he has probably suffer
ed greatly from his actual Imprisonment and the
humiliation that has attended il.
The next pardon in order will probably be that
Of Charles W. Morse, who is in a Georgia Federal
prison. 1t seems that If a man has friends and
at one time had money, his getting a pardon, if
he has been imprisoned is only question of time.
The other day Captain Hans, who was impris-
oned in New York for murder, was released, the
persistent efforts of his friends finally bringing
the result.
And in some states, in South Carolina, for in
stance, under the present Governor pardons may
be obtained almost for the asking.
The pardoning of person with influential
friends is really gross perversion Of justice in
most cases Very often man almost helpless and
friendless is sent to prison for a crime He NAV
not be so deserving of punishment as some one
sentenced who has influential friends, has pull"
on the powers that be- But the deserving man
languishes in prison, is overlooked and serves out
his sentence, while, after short time the man
with influence and money manages to cheat Justice
When II is realized that only a small percent
age of the persons accused of crime are ever pun
ished at ALL it will be found that only slight
percentage, taking the pardons into account, of
those accused of crime pay the full penalty for
their offence.
The indispositon to hold persons responsible for
their acts is becoming more and more obvious in
this country. There seems to be a free and easy
sort of spirit developing in the contemplation of
crime. Courts find il difficult to convict, and If
there is conviction, there is rush to the par
doning power.
All this overlooks the wrong done individual
members of society who suffer from the conse-
quences of misdeeds inflicted upon them by
others. The sufferers are not given due considera-
tion, but too often a maudin sentiment of sym-
pathy is allowed TO obscure the aims of real Jus
tice, and without such justice society would soon
become in a chaotic condition

In the night court in New York City
last week, a threadbare, gray-haired,
unshaven man of 5S, stood before Mag

was owen 3. McGuinness. The charge
against him was pressed by a we'll

the apology which the old wreck OF

Twenty years ago the name of owen
McGuinness was one to coniure with.
He met men Of influence andpo wer
and was led into temptation through
his efforts to be a good fellow He had
a bright future before him and he
might have had a high position Now
he is a wreck and cannot resist drink
He has no power left TO fight the
demon that has ruined him"
The magistrate added that in such
cases he had broad powers and that
he was going to exercise them by sus-
pending sentence. The old man, with
bowed head, was weeping as he shut

There is nothing unusual in this case

be strong way of expressing it, but it is just
what would happen in effect Instead of the in
dividual working for other individual concerns he
would be working for the state represented by
Central body or Council. An individual might think
that he fitted for such and such labor and
the Central body would think otherwise The
Central Body, representing the people, would de-
eide.
We therefore again ask whether a Central Body

TOLL GATES

THE CHESTER TIMES thinks that toll gates
i are a relic of the dark ages of the past and
should all be abolished. There are many of those
relics about Chester, goodness knows, and if the
Times would conduct a fight against them with as
much vigor as it has been waging fight for good
municipal government in Chester we should soon
have fewer toll gates in Delaware county, a county
that has many bad roads.
The Times notes with approval that the last Of
the toll gates holding up people who wish to en-
ter Baltimore is TO be abolished and that soon no
admission will be charged for entering Will
mington.
This is of course gratifying, but our county au-
thorites should be cautioned not TO permit the
toll road they have acquired to become bad road

p EYOND the splitting of few hairs, The JourS
~ nal does not see that Mr.. N. L. Rearick in
another letter on Socialism, which is printed today,
makes an explanation of its tenets different from
that as repeatedly stated in The Journal
He still seems to think that The Journal believes
that a Central body or Council OF something of
that kind would absolutely own as individuals, we
presume, all industry when we distinctly stated
that the council would merely be representatives
of the people, owners in that sense, Just like the
board of directors of a corporation or trustees of
property. The mere fact that we mentioned the
cooperative commonwealth ought to make il clear
10 Mr. Rearick that the people at large would own
industry and could remove the central body at will
Mr., Rearick objects to our statement that the in
divduals of the cooperative commonwealth would
be yanked before Socialist governing body and
told what labor they should perform. That may

SOCIALISM,
Only Men Of Ability Would FIJI fosi-

Fditor of THE EVENING JOURNAL
In reply to your editorial, Social
ism again" the writer wishes TO state
that he is "a clear enough thinker" to
note and make a strong point of a
distinction which you have as yet
failed to see.
Some central body would represent
the people but this body would not
own Industry" According to such
logic, if you, together with a half
dozen other men. owned a business
and employed some individual to
manage it, he would then own the
business. OF course you do not think
this way when 1t comes to your busi-
