WHOLESALE PARDONING.

Pardoning 800 conyicts at one time az
a protest against leasing of convict
labor may be a powerful object lesson
and calculated to stir up attention, but
what of the justice of Gov. Donaghey's
action in Arkansas. There seems to
have been no question that the 36t
persons were convicted fairly of the
various crimes and misdemeanors, with
which they were charged, and most be-
leye that their sentences were commen-
surate with the crimes and misdemean
ors which they committed Therefore,
it was only justice under the, law that
they should be confined for the periods
named in their sentences, both as a
protection to society and as a punish
ment to the offenders. Moreover, it
is unwarranted interference of the exc
cutive branch of the government with the
judicial for the governor of any state
to step in and nullify the work of the
courts to that extent; and the execu-
tive action is all the more open to criti.
cism because the freeing of the 800 con-
victs was brought about over the exc
cutive's resentment against another
branch of government, the legislative,
which refused to abolish the convict
leasing system.

More and more are Canadians coming
down into Vermont and buying farms,
as we have occasion to note from news,
paper items. This applies, of course,
particularly to the northern section of
the state, or that part which is located
near the Canadian line. This tendency
on the part of our northern neighbors
ought TO be encouraged, and the states
publicity bureau can find a good field
for its advertising among these peo-
pie. Perhaps much of the influx of
Canadians has been due to the bureaus
efforts already If 50. then the bureau
ought to be encouraged to redoubled ef-
forts in that direction.

Some observers have reported larger bands, or rather collections, but, lacking other evidence, l should be inclined to suspect that some circumstance of food or water rather than a sense of grega- riousness had attracted a number of in- dividuals to one locality.
 "The rhinoceros has three objects in life-to fill his stomach with food and water; to stand absolutely motionless under bush, and to initiate ant hills when he lies down in the tall grass. When disturbed at any of these oecupa- tions he shorts.
