was met by her uncle, Mr.. O'Donnel-
ly, who gave her away.
3 The brides costume of white tulle
was very simply fashioned and was
built over a foundation of white chif-
fon. There was no ornamentation
except a few sprays of orange bios

draperies. The corsage was made
with v neck, and with long trans
parent sleeves. The tulle. veil was
worn over the face and was adjusted

Give Daniels His Due.

Come, gentlemen, let's be fair! The Secretary
has things to his credit. His efforts to inn
prove the condition of the enlisted men of the
navy are not to be sneered at, for their worth is
conclusively demonstrated by better recruiting In
fact when itcomes his handling of the personnel
of the department as a whole, including the Off
GERS an officer of international reputation testihes
that Secretary Daniels has done distinctly better
than his predecessor, although the latter came
from Massachusetts. If the Secretary's critics
were more sincerely anxious to improve the navy.
and less anxious to seize upon any old issue that
can be made to yield sensations, false or other
wise, they would take up the question of unneces-
sary and wasteful navy yards. But they don't, be-
cause an issue of that sort can't be to music or
made into melodrama.-Springfeld Republican.

The Pardoning Power.

The pardoning of men sentenced by the courts
of the land to pay the penalty for crime, the
commutation of their terms of Imprisonment has
in the past brought frequent criticism to execu-
tives usually from judicial official sources rather
than from the general public, which more often
than not is disposed to approve the exercise Of
clemency. In the present day those in authority
seem more than ever inclined to condone offences
against society and to forgive the offender. The
lives of murderers spared and long-term pris-
oners set free, and excuses or circumstances
not known to the courts which sentenced them are
offered in explanation.
The President of the United States has not
escaped criticism during his less than two years
in Office He has been called to account for inter
fering with the sentences of William Z. Blanton
and w. w. Chinn, of Springfield, Mo, convicted
OF using the United States mails for fraudulent pur
poses and sentenced to eighteen months imprison-
ment in the penitentiary and to pay fine OF $4,000
each He reduced the penalty in each to a
fine of $780, and it is alleged even went so far as
to remit the costs, which the taxpayers were thus
compelled to pay. These men with some accom-
plces sold several hundred thousand dollars worth
of public land scrip to dealers throughout the
United States, one man being victmized to the
extent of more than $4,000. The trial at Spring
field, No. in October 1912 when the men were
convicted attended by witnesses from nearly
every State in the Union and cost the United
States more than $4,000.
The President also severely criticised even
in the halls OF Congress, for committing to simple
fine the prison sentence of DR.. Thomas ]. Kemp,
of this city, convicted of sending information
through the mails as to where illegal medical ope-
rations could be obtained.
1t is only natural that judges, juries and attor-
neys who with patient devotion have striven to
administer justice, should protest and rebel when
their work is set aside by executive, matter
what may be the popular and superficial verdict.
The Constitution vests the pardoning power in the
Executive, provision with which there will be
quarrel; but in the case of the President of the
United States it is unreasonable to expect him to
act with full personal knowledge of each individual
case. He is necessarily compelled to depend very
largely upon the investigation and recommendation
of the legal department of the government and
there it would seem more thorough system and
greater caution called for. The process of
pardon or Communication should be made more
nearly automatic and less subject to individual
opinion or deduction. 1t should be hedged about
with more detail of procedure and safeguard, and
the whole record should be as public as the trial
which resulted in conviction. In this way the
Executive would be relieved of unseemly criticism.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-15

There was a time last winter when the Rev.
Bouck White, who calls himself pastor of the
Church of the Social Revolution, of New York,
found sympathy among certain class of Chris
tians Since he finished his jail term however, and
the notoriety which imprisonment gave him is
waning he is resorting TO methods of keeping him
self before the public that calculated to aid in
a true appraisal of his worth. "If Christ came on
Christmas Day." he said last Sunday, "he would
clash with Rockefeller either at No. 26 Broadway
or at Tarrytown. He would be Immediately run
in and, when arraigned before magistrate, he
would be asked if he had been arrested before" ="
Others have adopted this form of sacregious vitu-
peraton as means of self advertisement, and they
all passed swiftly from the stage.
