There may be occasions when ex-
interference with the carrying out
Of the verdicts imposed against
criminals by the trial courts, but
such instances are rare. Court pro-
cedure is intended to act as res
training power in the interest of
good as against evil Under rules
now controlling in the trial of those
against whom charges of crime
have been preferred, the advantage
is largely in favor of the prisoner
at the bar, and the chances for un-
fair or unwarranted conviction are
absolutely nil. Convictions for crime
and the assessment of penalties as
punishment is not the carrying out
OF a plan of revenge, but the en-
forcement of laws intended to res
train criminal inclination. 1t is not
the fear of crime, but rather the
fear of that punishment which fol-
lows infractions of the law that
weighs heaviest on the minds of
those who may be disposed to vio-
late the rights Of others The
whole purpose of the courts is to
punish offenders that the example
set may have salutary effect in
criminal action. If the
chief executive of a state uses his
pardoning power in the indiscrimin-
ate release of those who have been
tried, convicted and sentenced he Is
doing much to discredit the wisdom
of the courts and to encourage the
criminal classes Protection of those
who may have SO conducted them
selves as to escape criminal action
can only be accomplished by the
strict enforcement of sentences
against such as have violated the
laws and forfeited their rights to
freedom. Governor Colquitt in cam
paigning for reelection on a record |
as the pardoner of conyicts and the |
of condemned murderers, |
IS appealing more to that class from /
which criminals originate than to
that higher class of citizenship
which endeavors to live above the
suspicion of crime.

DAY AND NIGHT THESE
MEN BURNING MATCHES.
San Antonians Toll Hard to Destroy
36,OO0,O00 Light Sticks I'm
der Fire Chiefs Ban.

San Antonio, May ia crew Of
men working every hour in relays
since late Saturday night have been
burning 36,G00,000 matches, u
stack ten feet in depth and forty
feet long. The matches with 10000
brooms, boxes of soap and canned
goods were ruined by fire and water
by a blaze caused by spontaneous
combustion in the Goodman Gro
Gerry company's store.
In extinguishing the fire the
matches became saturated with
water, and Chief Bishop of the fire
department ordered the matches
taken from the building. They were
piled in an alley and as the only
feasible plan of destroying this vast
quantity of sulphur sticks firemen
were set to work to burn them, and
since that time a crew under charge
Of d captain has been necessarily at
work
The cost of the matches, 600 cases
$4,000, is small compared with
the number of matches and the
trouble it is costing the fire depart
ment to get rid of this undesirable
and dangerous material.

OF WELFARE Commission
Men Who are Studing the Resour-

Review Work of Year.

Dallas, Texas, May 15.-The
Texas Welfare Commission is hold
ing its annual meeting in this city
today. Among other subjects dock
ed for discussion, is the Fabrication
of Cotton into Cloth and the Estab-
lishment of Cotton Mills Each
member of the commission has been
furnished with copy of the latest
census report on manufacturing in
Texas which contains interesting
information regarding the manufac-
turing industries of the Lone Star
state The report shows that there
are only thirteen establishments in
Texas that are engaged in the man
ufacturing of cotton into a finished
product and that the capital invest
ed in this line of industry has in
creased only 81 per cent during the
last five years, while all other indus
tries combined show an increase in
capital of 81 per cent during the
same period. Texas produces 307
pounds of cotton per capita, per an
mum, consumes 80 pounds, and
manufacturer only Z u pounds per
capita per annum.
In addressing the Texas Welfare
Commission in session in this city
R. S. Lovett, chief executive of the
Hartman lines and one of the fore
