EXECUTIVE FIRMNESS

In this day when the tendency is too
much on the part of governors toward
extending clemency wholesale to Of
tenders against the law, whether the
crime is a minor or major one, the
example set by Governor Mann, OF
Virginia, is wholesome one. Such
manifestation of backbone in state
executives is needed, where it is exer-
cised with wisdom and perception, as
in this case it undoubtedly was. AS
the Savannah News comments:
Gov. Mann deserves and doubtless
will receive general commentator for
refusing to save from the electric
chair Floyd and Claude Alien, father
and son, members of the gang which
committed the Hillsville court house
murders. Very great pressure was
brought to bear upon him. he was
told that as a matter of political ex-
pediency it would be best to commute
the sentences of the two men to life
Imprisonment. He was told it was
III just to electrocute two of the gang
while other members of it equally as
guilty escaped with lighter sentences
And then there were countless plels
based upon sentiment Floyd Allen
vas spoken of as the trembling oil.
mountaineer" and Claude was the
handsome young mountaineer" who's :,
sweetheart wished to wed him in the
death house.
But justice had demanded that this
father and son should die and Gov
ernor Mann stood for justice and for
the best interests of his state when h.
refused to save them. The desperation
with which friends of the men fought
is shown by the fact that they TOOK
advantage of Gov. Mann's absence
from the state for a short time 10
transfer their peladings to the Lieu.
tenant Governor. Gov. Mann hurried
back into the state when he learned
OF their new efforts and the Aliens
last hope died.
There is little cause to recall the
story of the Hillsville crime, of the de-
termined hunt for the perpetrators, Of
their trial and the punishment &C
corded each. That justice has been
done in large measure isrdue to the
firmness of Gov Mann.

ONE LESSON IN THE BALKAN WAR

(From The Army and Navy Journal.(
In book recording experiences
with the Turkish army in the field.
just published by Major Lionel James,
soldier and war correspondent, the
author says: Never in the history OF
war has the danger of employing in
efficiently trained and indifferently Of
ficered troops been more poignantly
demonstrated There is a trenchant
lesson in this pathetic history to all
self-confident nations who, like the
British people and the citizens of the
United States of America, think that
in modern conditions it is possible hur-
riedly to develop the raw fighting ma
terial of the nation behind a small
Highly trained professional army. The
machinery of modern warfare will
plough through armies thus improvis-
ed with the same irresistible ease as the
share of a steam plough turns it's fur
rows. The Turks, In the opinion Of
Major James, suffered from the NAL
ady of self-confdence. They relied on
their traditional support in the Balk-
ans. Their leaders had no doubt that
the martial spirit of the country would
compensate for lack of military skill,
but, says Major James, there is no
short cut to military efficiency. A ma
ton which, like Turkey, believes that
it can improvise at the eleventh hour
will as surely suffer it's battles of
Yenidje and Lule Burgas 1t will be
fortunate if, like the Turk, it has in
front an enemy as devoid of national
resources as of competency for sus-
tanning war as were the Balkan al
lies"

That floats on high DER wales and hills,
When all at once l saw a cloud,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky day,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of bay;
Ten thousand saw l at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves besides them danced, but

Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay,
In such jocund company;

What wealth the show to me had

For oft, when on my couch lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They fash upon the inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
