A Clean Slate

We think the recent action of Judge N A. Norris
of the Blue Ridge Circuit, in directing that all lndlct-
ments for misdemeanors held against young men who
have been in the service be quashed most commend
able.
In the circuit quite number of these cases were
pending and it will certainly be of satisfaction
for these young to know that after discharge from
the service they can home and find clean slate
instead of an indictment to face
While we have not noticed reports of like action by
any other courts in this state feel that such
action would meet universal approval of the people at
home as well these boys and their comrades at the
front.
We note the usual of the pardoning power by
executives the country in connection with the Christ
mas season. some 200 boys in navy prison being
released and many paroled pardoned from various
prisons this is WELL but think the action of Judge
Morris fully much warranted perhaps more, for 1t is
better to keep boy out of prison. than to convict and
then release him.
We firmly believe in the justice of "clean slate
back home for the boys and believe that the vast
majority of them will appreciate this action by hence
forth keeping the slate clean.
