RAILWAY GAUGE
MAY BE CHANGED

When the railways of Japan were
first planned, the narrow gauge Of 8
fl. 6 in. was selected for them, be-
cause it was cheapest to build and
equip and was thought best suited TO
the country's narrow highways and
steep grades. Now the 5000 miles Of
Japanese railways, all Of narrow
gauge, are found to be sadly behind
the times, and movement is on foot
to rebuild them to standard gauge, al
though the cost is estimated at nearly
$3.50 100000. At present the trains
arc slow, the fastest expresses MAX
ing less than 20 miles an hour, the
coaches are low and narrow, and the
sleeping cars are crampcd and incon-
venent; while most Of the railway in
ventions of other nations cannot be
used because of the difference in track
Gauge and size Of cars. The director
of the imperial railways favors the
change, in spite of the cost, and esti-
mates that the main Tokaido line
could be converted to broad gauge in
IL years and the other lines on the
main island Of Japan within % years.

THAT PARDON BOARD

nave not uOne Cnelf uuty. ltS iheiH-
bers made up of petty politicians
believe that there are many men in
side the prison walls who have been
improperly sentenced. Plans are
on foot to make an investigation Of
each individual case.
1t is said that special prison
sheets will be made out showing in
detail the record of each prisoner.
When? Why? and how long? are
among the questions to be ascer-
tanned. After the completion Of
these records the pardon board will
60 to the penitentiary and examine
each individual case and decide each
case on it's merits. The judges and
juries convict and sentence at ran
dom. They are afforded no means
Of judging each case sentenced on
its merits but the pardon board can
determine with exactness just how
long a sentence each criminal
should serve.
It is very unfortunate that the
state of Idaho has to contend with
incompetent courts of justice but
very fortunate indeed that it has so
competent and self sacrificing a
board of pardons that can undo the
inequalities and absurdities in
punishment of crime" The fact
that the notorious Coleman got off
with an inadequate service in the
pen for the offense committed, it
does not follow that others without
official backing are serving too long.
Our learned attorney general
says: 1T certainly is not right to
keep some poor chap who has stolen
a COW imprisoned as long as man
who has committed a more serious
crime" Again: Neither should
some ignorant lad who may have
passed bad check while intoxicat-
ed be held in the penitentiary as
long as the state would hold an
habitual criminal for the same Of
fense." Oh learned Judge! Oh
righteous Judge! The state owes
to you a mighty debt of gratitude
for the discovery of such funda-
mental. principles of criminal law.
One would hardly expect to find
such wisdom in one so young and
inexperienced. The working out OF
this pardon boards scheme will be
watched with interest.
