CURRENT COMMENT
Making Heroes of Criminals.

There seems to be a great deal Of public
sentiment aroused on account of the sentences
of Floyd and Claude Allen, to be electrocuted
for the awful tragedy which occurred at Hills
VILE last March. great number of petitions
are being circulated requesting Governor
Mann to commute the sentence of these men
to life Imprisonment rather than let them die
in the electric chair. 1t is rather strange to
see such prominent men taking the stand they
are as regards this case. purely from stand
point OF sentiment. Petitions are being cir
culated In all parts OF the State, and are being
advocated by men of prominence. This feel-
ing, of course was no more than was expected
1t is one OF the usual concomitants OF all capt.
tai cases where the accused Is a person OF any
degree of Importance. 1t is one of the traits
of human nature to forget the crime which
has been committed against society when the
criminal Is brought face to face with the awful
consequences OF his act. Men are naturally
merciful, and they forget the criminal, whose
cause. they champion failed TO- show mercy
In the preparation of his crime. This was
the case in our State recently, when vicious
and depraved negro woAAu was awaiting SEN
tence for black and dastardly crime COM
mitted without any provocation whatever. II
was true of Henry Clay Reattie and McCue,
and all other where the crime which
has been committed has aroused any degree
Of popular interest.
This feeling is usually felt more by the peo-
pie who act from feelings of sentiment rather
than from good. hard reason There are
always persons who desire to make heroes of
those accused OF crime. 1t Is one of the curl
Gus perversties of human nature that this
is so, People who know absolutely nothing
about the circumstances under which the
crime committed will go on to say that
the punishment is unjust. whens they know
nothing of the trial and the evidence produced
before the jury--will assert that the verdict
lis unjust and contrary to the evidence. Such
, this should receive small consideration from
! those whose duty it is to that the laws of
the State are enforced, otherwise we would
then have no case of capital punishment, for
there are always some who prefer to see the
criminal 60 free.
| 1t is to the credit of Governor Mann that
he has stood firmly by the verdicts of the
courts and has not been swayed by the popu-
lar pleadings to use his pardonng power The
governor Is a man well trained in the law and
one who knows the Importance of carrying out
the verdicts OF our courts when there are not
t'ong enough circumstances to prevent. He
can see the danger of the abuse of the pardon
ing power, and ii is to his credit that he has
stood firm in the cases heretofore brought be-
fore him. 1t Is hard to believe that he will
exercise his power In the case OF the Aliens
when every part OF the trial was conducted
fairly and according to law. Every disputed
question was decided In favor of the accused
and he should not disturb the verdict OF the
| jury unless strong extenuating circumstances
be Notwithstanding Tribune.

MR.. nRYas,s PLAN All. LEAST UNIQUE.

MR., BRyAS;S PLAN AT LEAST UNIQUE.
Well have to hand 1t to Mr. Bryan that his
plan to admit ex-presidents. ex-vice- presidents
ard ex-speakers OF the house to a seat and
voice in congress is certainly unique and. too,
seems on the face o! IL to possess much merit.
Dir. Bryan argues that 1t would be a good
ftea for the nation to avail itself OF the serv-
Ices OF these distinguished servants when they
rstire from Office to get the benefit OF their
wisdom and advice. He doesn't think they
should be allowed vote, nor does he say any
thing about the matter of remuneration for
them, and this latter fact is very important.

D&nse free advice to the country after they
had been turned out OF the White House to

plan In more definite shape doubtless in due

time We venture the opinion that in including

TO DEPORT JAPANESE.
Three Fishermen Caught in Storm to
Be Sent Back at u. s. Expense.

The three japanese fishermen who
were caught in q storm about three
months ago. finally drifting across the
Pacific ocean, and whose junk was
wrecked of Del Mar, CAL, will probably
be deported at the expense Of the United
States, in accordance with the recon-
mendation OF the immigration authorities.
which is supported by the Japanese
consul, who was consulted in the case.
They landed at Ensenada, Mexico. and
were trying to make for Seattle, WASH
ington, where one of their number lived
years ago, when their weather beaten
craft was wrecked off the California
coast The warrants authorizing their
deportation probably will charge them
with a technical violation Of the immi-
grafton laws.
