The Law And The Governor

Either there is something wrong
with the administration of the law
in Arkansas or the pardoning power
is being unfortunately abused.
If men are justly convicted of
crime and sentenced to deserved
punishment why should they be
pardoned in great numbers, some
times without having served a day
Of their sentenceY
We now see Gov, Hays pardon
Ing in one day Al state prisoners,
OF these 10 had been convicted of
various degrees of murder Four
of the 10 had been sentenced to the
penitentiary for life and six for Il
years.
One Of the most serious features
of this business is the undermining
of wholesome respect for the power
of the law to exact punishment,
The courts are too much looked on
merely as stopping places on the
way to appeal to the executive.
Men whose hands have committed
crime no longer accept the punish
ment meted out to hem,-Arkansas

PARD0NED A HUNDRED BOYS
Last Act Of Gov. Major Of Missouri

One hundred boys between the
ages Of II and 20, who were serving
terms in the Missouri penitentiary
were gathered in the penitentlary
yard Saturday and sent out in the
world to make men of themselves.
This was the last official act
of Gov. Elliott W. Major, who said
he would not parole the boys, but
pardoned them outright.

with the idea that there are hun.
dreds of young first offenders in the

The salary of congressman is
now $500 a year, with an allow
ance of 81 500 for a private secre-
tary, to say nothing of the addition
al items for mileage, stationery and
sundries. That, however, is not
satisfying the members of congress,
who are seeking an addition of
$500 a year to the allowance for a
private secretary and the creation
of a salary of 5000 a year for a
clerk to the secretary. If this gets
by it will not be but few years

During the year 1915 fifty.four
lynchings occurred in the United
States, and of this number fifty
were negroes. Papers of the North
are taking advantage of this fact to
decry against race prejudice, but
the facts are that negro is lynch
ed as quickly in the North as in
the South when he commits a seri-
GUS crime. The'reason that more
negroes are lynched in the South
than in the North is that the negro
population is confined chiefly to
the South. There is an unmention-
able crime, which the Southern
negro persists in committing, that
will always end in lynching.

fare against mankind.
1T is a war against all nations.
american ships have been sunk,
American lives taken in ways which
it has stirred US very deeply to learn
of, but the ships and people Of other
neutral and friendly nations have
been sunk and overwhelmed in the
waters in the same way.
Challenges All Mankind.
There has been no discrimination.
The challenge is to all mankind. Each
nation must decide for itself how 1t
will meet it.
"The choice we make for our
selves must be made with a modera-
ton Of counsel and a temperatures
of judgment BETTING our character
and our motives as nation.
1--WE must put excited feeling away.
Our motive will not be revenge or the
victorious assertion of the physical
might of the nation, but only the vim
dication of right, of human right of
which we are only single champion.
Denies Rights to Neutrals.
"The German government denies
the right of neut"als to use arms at

it has prescribed, even in the de-
Tense of rights which no modern pub
licst has ever before questioned
their right to defend. The intimation
IS conveyed that the armed guards
which we have placed on our mer-

the pale of law and subject to be
dealt with as pirates would be.
Armed Neutrality Futile.
Armed neutrality is Intellectual
enough at best; in such circumstances
and in the face Of such pretens!ons
it is worse than Intellectual; 1t is
likely only to produce what it was
meant to prevent; it IS practically
certain to draw us into the war with
