Editorial Opinion
GOV. HUNT AND CAPITAL
PUNISHMENT
(Arizona Republican.l

(Arizona Republican,
Governor Hunts reply to those who
accuse him of having violated the
spirit of the law in granting reprieves
to some murderers now at Florence
is not satisfactory. 1t is not enough
to say that the governor has exercis
ed constitutional power to commute
reprleve or pardon. In exercising il
in the case complained of, he has
kept within the letter of the law, but
he has not observed the spirit of it
1t is that failure that complaint has
been made.
This constitutional power is a. com
mon one, but it is not to be exercised
at the whim of governor, or because
he believes that its exercise will be
the best for the state. 1t is to be
exercised only in justice to the con.
demned; when it may appear that he
has not been properly or fairly con.
victed.
On this point former Governor Han.
ley of Indiana contributed an article
to the American Magazine some mon
tins ago. Governor Hanley, like
Governor Hunt, is strongly poposed to
capital punishment. He believes it is
both wrong and inexpedient, but he
permitted it to take place in Indiana
because, though he had the power
like Governor Hunt to interfere, the
cases cited presented no warrant for
doing so.
1t is entirely beside the matter for
the governor to place himself in
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 the
jury is not supposed to impose a life
sentence because it is opposed to can't
tai punishment, for its members are
required to declare under oath that
they are not opposed to il. If the
jury imposes the life sentence. it is
presumed that it does so because cir
cumstances in the case at bar war
rant a lighter penalty than death.
Governor Hunt asserts that his ac-
ton has been taken because he be-
l1eved it was best for society. He
also offers the pretext that an amend
ment to abolish the death penalty is
pending. Many, or at least some,
Of these reprieves were granted long
more than q year-before such an
was proposed The gov
ernor in his reply does not bind him
self to permit death sentences to be
extended in case the amendment
should be defeated. Localized muir
Ter would be just as wrong then as
he governor says it is now He
would have the same antipathy to it |
and would have the same power to |
prevent it. He would also have the |
same pretext that he believed it to |
De the best for society to prevent it, |
hough society by it's vote might have |
Indicated that it thought otherwise.

UNCLE SAM AND John RJJIJ

Ihe United States is still prepared to carry
out Its arrangement with Great Britain to cee-

That the state of Arizona at large, and es-
peclally those sections where mining is the chief
industry, is entering upon long period of bust
ness depression, because of the European war, is
daily becoming more apparent Further
curtaliment OF forces by the big mining con1pan-
les IS the rule from Jerome to Bisbee and from
Clifton to Yuma The explanation is simple. The
mining companies cannot continue operations on
large scale at big monthly expense, without
any revenue from the sale of their product. The
treasury soon becomes empty. The only hope
OF increased activity is that the terrible war will
soon come to and end but the present indications
are that IT will be longer drawn out than first ex
pected. The Germans forcing their wav

GIANTS MAY NOT
MEET YANKEES
No Post Season Contract Between
Two Gotham Teams

New York, sept. 2l.-New York has
no guarantee that it will see post
season series between the local Ameri-
can and National league clubs this
fan in the event that the Giants do not
figure IN the worlds championship.
President Frank Farrell. OF the New
Yurks, said yesterday that no such
attraction had been arranged. 1t was
generally believed at the time the riv-
ais first met in the fall of 1910 and
that an agreement had been drawn
whereby the clubs were bound to par
ticipate in such exhibitions for a term
of years provided the worlds cham
pionships did not honor New York. Mr.
Farrell says this is an erroneous i'm
preston.
Il do not know whether or not the
two teams will meet this fall" said
he Indeed my mind has been SO oc-
cUpied with other matters that | have
not paid much attention to the sub

SITUATION is
VASTLY BETTER
CLEWS CLAIMS
US. Adjusting Itself to War Con-
ditions and Receivers Rapidly

New York-This country is rapidly
adjusting itself to war conditions and
already shows visible signs OF recov-
cry from the terrific blow which fell
upon the entire civilized world more
than six weeks ago. That blow smash
ed the worlds credit system in a fash
ion never before experienced and new
er expected by those responsible for
the war, or by those who were able to
estimate its effects. Nevertheless. the
shock has been met with remarkable
success in this country, thanks to in
telligent cooperation between govern
ment, financial and commercial inter-
ests; and. while the difficulties to over
come are still OF the gravest charac-
ter and while further disasters may
yet be possible, the situation is vastly
better than at any time since the war
began and the outlook is certainly for
steady Improvement, declares Henry
Clews There is a better demand for
commercial paper, and foreign ex-
change is declining and at the lowest
since the war.
Finance, grain and cotton bills are
each In better supply and tend to pre-
vent gold exports which otherwise
would be inevitable. The success OF
the New York city 8 per cent loan, and
the improved condition Of the Bank OF
England are also encouraging factors.
Exchanges Remain Closed.
Much necessarily depends upon the
progress of the war. An early end Of
the struggle would bring absolute re-
lief, followed probably by sharp
rebound i'm values. a protracted strug-
gle would, however. impose a growing
strain upon an already seriously
weakened financial position abroad. II
the Allies are determined, as is said
To crush militarism, that means the
end will not come until exhaustion OF
one side or the other.
An earnest movement is being made
for peace, but at this stage of the
struggle. il seems hardly likely that
Germany would accept such proposals
as the Allies may he expected To make

of about $lS,000,000,0 900 a year. These
figures are probably somewhat exag-
gerated. Besides, il should be re-
huge armies of Europe have cost stag
gerng sums; so that the net increase
in the war is not represented by its
present actual cost
The worst effects OF the struggle at
the moment are the awful carnage,
the wanton destruction of property and
the wholesale decentralization situa-
ton of finance and commerce.
Happily the financial situation is
gradually improving, both i'm London,
and in New York 40 arrangements
have as yet been made for the open
ing OF the Stock Exchanges at these
respective markets for the reason that
taking care OF the securities which
would probably be offered for sale
from abroad Until some plan of grad
ual or partial resumption is devised it
is the part of wisdom to keep the ex-
changes closed; disappointing as that
may be to the large numbers vitality in
terested i'm their resumption.
Fewer New Securities.
Next to ending the war. the surest
means OF stock market resumption will
be revival of confidence. Thus far
investors seem to have held their
heads. and the greatly improved fl
nancial conditions of the last few
weeks warrant a distinctly more hope
full feeling regarding the future of in
vestments. There Is no doubt that any
shrinkage in our investment securities
resulting from the war will be made
good within n reasonable period of
time after the war is over. History
shows that in all wars a sharp recov-
cry in security values followed after
the worst effects became known. The
worlds output Of securities annually
amounts to about 100000 900
The war will of course result in n
vast output of foreign loans, for pos
terity will be obliged To pay the costs.
II Is quite probable, therefore. that the
output of new securities i'm this coun-
try will he curtailed for some time to
come. This of itself will have n
steadying influence upon security val
ues here, especially upon those of the
better class.
There is just one other element for
revived confidence. which has been al
most lost to sight by the European
tragedy, which is the abatement of
hostility at washington TO large corpor-
ations. The government is already
showing more friendly attitude to
big business and there are signs that
the spirit of prejudice is giving way to
reason.
