America and Germany

That the prevalent sentiment in this country,
far as it concerns the European war, Is anti-Ger-
man. is evident expressed the streets
everywhere-and is reflected in the press. 1t may be
attributed to early sympathy with Servia and the
brutal manner in which the war against that coun-
try precpitated by Austria; the refusal OF Ger
many to intervene in behalf of the little kingdom,
and the truculent German attitude toward Russia
when that nation proposed to intervene
There is other reasonable ground for &C
counting for the ant-German sentiment in this
country The German Americans constitute the
largest and one of the most valuable component
parts of American citizenship. 1t Is the most dis
tnct The German Americans have proved their
loyalty to the country of their adoption and they
have at time preserved their affection for
the Fatherland and traditions They are the
better American citizens for that
The anti German sentiment is the more remark
able when we consider the national. attitude OF
Americans toward the nations with which Germany
is at war The average American of the old stock
has not forgotten the American revolution or the
War of 1872. 1t is that we owe debt OF graft
tude though have forgotten it, to france anu
Russia: the former for assistance IN the reVou'ioh
and to the latter for friendliness in the civil war
when we menaced by both France ana Great
Britain But the average American cltzen is not
moved by any national obligation to either france
or Germany, and Americans for the most part
have not brought into such close relations with
people from those countries to incucate ma
tionaI friendly spirit toward them That is, former
citizens of France and Russia have not been as
persed through this country and have not become
such part Of the American population as the Ger
have become.
As things have developed, Germany is In the

Governor Hunt and Capital Punishment

Governor Hunts reply to those who accuse him
of having violated the spirit of the law in granting
reprieves to some eight murderers now at Florence
is not satisfactory. 1t is not enough to say that
the governor has exercised constitutional power
to commute. reprieve pardon. In exercising it
in the complained of, he has kept within the
letter of the law but he has not observed the spirit
of it. 1t is of that failure that complaint has been
made. - 4
This constitutional power is common but
it is not to be exercised the whim of governor,
because he believes that exercise will be the
best for the state 1t is be exercised only in
justice to the condemned; when it may appear that
he has not been properly fairly convicted.
On this point former Governor Haney of In
diana contributed article to the American Maya
months ago Governor Hanley, like Gov
Hunt is strongly opposed to capital punish
ment He believes it is both wrong and mex
pedient, but he permitted it take place in Indiana
because, though he had the power like Governor
Hunt interfere the cited presented no war

place himself III the position of the jury
which, under our law, may impose either the death
penalty or life sentence. The functions of the
governor and the jury are entirely different. But
because is opposed capital punishment for its
members are required to declare under oath that
they opposed to it. If the jury imposes the
life is presumed that it does because
circumstances in the at bar warrant a lighter
penalty than death.
Governor Hunt asserts that his action has been
taken because he believed it best for society.
He also offers the pretext that an amendment to
abolish the death penalty is pending. Many, or at
least some, of these reprieyes granted long
more than year-before such amendment was
proposed. The governor in his reply does not bind
himself to permit death sentences to be executed in
case the amendment should be defeated. LOCALIZED
murder would be just wrong then as the gov
ernor says it is He would have the same
antipathy to it and would have the same power to
prevent it. He would also have the pretext that
he believes it to be the for society prevent
