As condition for granting a pardon by the present Govern or of Arkansas, you must first publish a petition in the Arkan sas Democrat. The.cost of this publication will depend upon the length of the petition and the number of signers. The Govern or ought to, now, indicate to the "poor unfortunate and sad ly importunate" the length of the document he required to be inserted in the Democrat. Such a decision would relieve all anx- iety of those seeking free air ex. cursions.

1t is claimed that there is more violation of law now, than ever before, which is most likely true but it should be remembered that there are more laws to vio- late and more people to violate them. An hundred years ago there was not one law to the hundred of this day and not one man to the hundred to break the few laws then in existence. As a country grows and population increases the demand for more and different laws naturally arise; but, in our opinion. this country is becoming a little bit top heavy with laws. We now have United States laws, State laws, Municipal laws. Judge made laws and all other kinds and conditions of laws, until there are so many that about the only way to avoid breaking some of them is to lock yourself up in a close room and stay there, and then, if you are not careful, you will be fined for non support of your family Seriously speaking it is about time halt was made on the law. making. and revisionary board be organized to wipe out about two thirds of the foolish and unnecessary laws which we now have.

We believe that a Governor has perfect right to grant pardons despite the statutory law on that subject, because the Constitution, which is higher law than statute, confers upon him that right; but he should not attempt to follow a statute and violate it's provisions as Gov. Hays is now proposing to do, in the matter of publication of petitions for pardons. The Governor has right to grant pardons, but he has no right to arbitrarily select a medium of publication. contrary to law.
