cHARY OF PARDoNs.

The petition for the pardon of D. W.
Alexander, who is now serving a life
sentence in the state penitentiary for
the murder of his brother-in- Flaw, Henry
Harris. in Fort Adams in April, 1913,
having been published in this paper, a
counter petition was being circulated
by the relatives and friends of the de-
ceased during the week, asking Gov.
Brewer not to grant the pardon at this
time. This petition, so we have been
Informed, is signed by large majority
of the people of the section in which
the murder was committed, as we'll as
by number of people from other
sections of the county. Commenting
on this matter we will say that our
position has been all along that O
governor should be very cautious in
the exercise of executive clemency to
persons confined in the penitentiary
and especially in cases where counter
petitions are sent to him. In our opin-
iOn this is the view that Gov. Brewer
should take in deciding this matter
when it is brought before him.-Wood.

SENTIMENT WITH GOVERNOR.

Gov. Hall is quoted as having de-
clared that there shall be respect and
enforcement of law in Jefferson parish
at least for the remainder of his term,
and the decent public sentiment of the
entire state, without regard to party
or factional lines, should be behind the
chief executive in this determination.

That word decent" is rather hard
on Ewing, Big Chief.
