PUBLICITY AND PARDONS.

Governor SulZer has done service
20 the state in making public the pa
pers In the cases of the Patrick and
Abrams pardOns. If Governor Dix had
been compelled by law or custom 10
make those letters and other dOcu-
ments public it is not to be supposed
that he would have pardoned either of
these two prisoners. They make it
plain that these acts of clemency were
the work of weak, good natured SEN
itmentaliSt ready TO oblige his friends
who for their OWN reasons were inter-
estcd in securing the release of pris-
cncrs.
IIavin, made public his predecessors
correspondence relating 10 pardons,
Governor Sulzer can hardly do any
thing less than make public his own
when he exercises the pardoning power.
If he does he may in his term OF Office
establish the practice so firmly that
other Governors will follow his eX-
ample II would be good practice,
doing much 10 end abuses Of the par
doning power. If a Governor has 10
make everything public he will issue
no pardons Of which he is doubtful or
for which he Is ashamed 10 have his
reasons known. No greater check on
giving way 10 sentimentality could
exist than full publicity
The publicity should begin with the
consideration Of al application for a
pardon. Every one directly interested
IN seeing that the prisoner Is adequate
~ punished should have an opportunity

HARD FOR

Ninth District Wants Collector
ship of Internal Revenue
in Western Virginia.

One of the warmest fights over Fed
eral office in the State Is that waged
over the collcctorship of internal reve-
nue. for the Sixth or Western District
of Virginia. comprising about % per
cent of the State. There are several
candidates. all with friends hard at
work IN their behalf

rner succeeded l.. =. Summers, of Alb
ingdon. Mr.. Summers was translated
to become an organizer of the forces OF
President Taft in Chicago. and 1t was
stated that he was to receive bigger
position, but this now seems hardly
likely.
For years this office has been one Of
the most valuable assets the Repub-
lican party in the Ninth District pos
sessed Its influence over politics in
every county has been untold The
Democrats will be more than glad to
get hold of il. This * being made an
argument that a Ninth District man
should have the appointment. and Il
being especially urged in behalf of
David A. Preston. OF Abingdon. Nho
is a candidate. Mr.. Preston has the
additional prestige of being citizen
of Washington County. casting the
third largest Democratic vote In the
State and leading the district in this

WORK FOR PAY BILL.
Trying to Get Vote In Congress During
Present Session.

Virginia militia officers are doing
their part in the efforts to secure from
the House Committee on Rules date
during the present session of Congress
for consideration of the militia pay bill
The committee will hold further hear
ings on the subject. and hopes are held
out that day may be set for debate
and vote. If this can be done. u l.
said the measure will most certainly
pass. since there is little tangible op-
position to il from any source, save
from two Senators.
Advocating the bill before the com
mittee. Colonel William +. Harvey. of
the National Guard of the District Of
Columbia, denied that the War De-
partment would be able to exercise any
more authority than at present over the
militia in time of peace. and said II was
not a conscrlptng measure.
