The above is the question purely from the
women's point of view. From the point of view
of the State in the effort properly to maintain

BOOK FARMERS"

Hon Henry C. Stuart in his talk to the
farmers nj Richmond announced his CONVEX
sion as a farmer to a principle which every
man who looks 10 the ground for livelihood
could we'll consider guide to his own action.
once said Mr. Stuart. he looked with the con-
tempt natural to the owner and expIoiter of
land upon the agricultural theorist. the profess
sor Of soils, the expert on cattle, and all their
tribe Now after long experiment he announces
that he has while remaining a practical be-
come a book farmer.
As a matter of fact, the only practical farmer
is the book farmer Land, once unlmitedly
found in its. virgin quality, has heeome ae.i-

over every farming territory Stock, that once
consisted merely of many COWS sheep, hogs.

out of books. and the agfieuiturist who does

has been to relax the emphasis on farming in
favor of other educational advantages We be-

itI,sI'S BARDON.

President Tafts long delay in granting par
don to Morse will be sufficient to convince tho
country that clemency in this instance was no
more than the privilege granted to die outside
Of prison walls and without the stigma OF a
feton
Mercy was probably conceded much TO
the wife and daughter as to the miserable pri-
soner whose broken spirit sighed only for the
fiction of freedom with which to take its
light
The President has been much criticised for
his obduracy in the granting of this pardon.
We think that such criticism was unjust. 1t
is true that Morse did no more than many OF
his associates had been In the habit OF doing
1t Ia perhaps true that he was made a scape-
goat, and that his ambitions brought upon him
the enmity of people equally guilty, who con-
triyed to send him to the penitentiary. AT the
same time violation of the national bank laws
is not matter Of dollars and cents. 1t touches
principle and affects trust. to weaken which
Is to undermine its entire fabric.
The pardoning power is not the court; he is
not tine prosecuting attorney, nor the jury; he
is not responsible, nor should he look to dis
ordinations in justice. 1t Is for The pardoning
power to act though every guilty man was
punished and to look, not to the circumstance
Of conviction, but to the crime. This was. in
all probability President Tafts view regards
Morse He took in abundance of caution, a
great risk of having his prisoner die on his
hands The country will share with the Presi-
dent relief that he did not happen to wait
