The Pardoninq Power

The strongest objection to the proposal abolish capital punishment fs that a murderer sentenced to life Imprisonment might sometime be rardoned. Many murderers, in capital punishment states. given life terms but statistics covering period of several years show that the average term of the life is less than years. Arizona has established similar average within the last twenty-five years.
 If people could be assured that a life term would be a life term; that a life sentence would mean perpetual immurement. as it does in Italy, much of the opposition to the abolition of capital punishment would be withdrawn. The insstence that murderers shall be properly punished is expression of revenge
 Society could be partly, but not wholly assured by the removal of the power of pardon parole from the hands of single and the vesting of it in the hands of independent board pardons and parole, responsible alone to the people.
 Public sentiment against the pardoning power has lately been aroused by the immoderate exercise of it by Governor Bease of South Carolina and Governor Donaghey of Arkansas
 In the case of a murderer who has been sen fenced to imprisonment for life in lieu of the death penalty, the power of pardon vested in an in dependent board should be further restricted by law that the only ground for pardon should be the discovery of evidence, either establishing the innocence of the convict raising such a reason able doubt would properly have resulted in his acquittaI if had been adduced at his trial This evidence should be admitted parte proceeding but the should be represented in order that the genuneness the evidence might be fully tested
 has often happened that life termers have been pardoned for other and, very seldom on of the discovery of evidence for a trial is very apt to develop every circumstance favorable to defendant.

 The women of Arizona, except those of Pres colt, have yet had opportunity experiment with the beautifying properties of the ballot of which properties all ignorant, throughout the campaign equal suffrage
 But, doubt whether the use of the ballot will have effect upon the beauty of the women of this state No word has yet from Prescott regarding Identification there and feel that there will be noticeable results in Phoenix first exercise of the ballot the municipal election. One paint the sunbeam gild refined gold. Arizona had other for the ballot than employ it the enhance ment of their personal beauty, they would have no for it all.
 But the of Arizona have been made more handsome by their extension of the ballot to the women. That act has wiped out those harsh and disagreeable lines which notice the faces of misers who persist in keeping good things to them selves.

The Cotton Acreage

In spite of the warning which has been sent out by the department of agriculture and which has been reiterated and emphasized by MT.

Later it can be developed the industry develops. so that even by year much larger acreage can be planted.
 That is the only problem in the Salt River Val ley in connection with cotton growing and that is that be solved only by time and develop
 
 The profits of the growers last year is an aIur- ing temptation which be resisted by many if there is not to be immense waste and loss this year. There is profit cotton left in the fields and that is where much will certainly be left if the 5000 limit is passed.
 Only about 400 were planted in this val ley last year. Even then the growers were appre- hensive of insufficient labor supply. There were comparatively few trained pickers available but the work easily mastered by the inexperi- enced It is manifest that there are not enough of even inexperienced workers now to handle an acre ten times large as that of last year
 Before deciding fully to engage in cotton grow ing this year it would be well for farmers to get together and find how many others are going into it, so that the may be kept within safety limit.
 The worst effect of overpanting would be the losses that would from inability to take care of the crop. It would a blow at the industry in his valley in which all are concerned,

They were being trained in reading, writing and arithmetic but the of their hands, although them would have to their hands to make their living later
 This detachment of the schools from the prob lens of living what Mir. Cammack discussed be fore the City Club at it's luncheon this week. And among the varieties of preparation for life that he urged that for agriculture. Every child he asserted, ought to have insight into scientific farming.
 The need requires especial emphasis in the city schools. In the country boys and girls get taste of real farming, and have opportunity to fit themselves to take it up. The city children never have opportunity find what farming is and whether they have aptitude for it. Thus by forces which they have control the op portunity to enter the finest occupation of all is denied them
 The boys and girls of the cities ought to have at least this much of deal-they ought to be barred at the outset from the great pro- fessOn of farming.
