Free Use Of the Pardon.

The Chipey Banner calls attention to what APP
pears to be giaring example undue executive
interference with the enforcement of the laws of
the state. 1t states that the pardoning board has
granted full pardon to who convicted
of embezzling public funds. before that man had
served day of the five-year sentence imposed upon
him.
The Banner charges the governor with being re-
sponsble for the act of the board. 1t should be
remembered that pardon cannot be issued except
by majority vote of the board which maj ority
the governor must be That is to say, no pardon
may lawfully be given without the consent of the
governor.
In all probability the charge made by the Banner
that the pardon was secured by the governor in
spite of the wishes of the members the board is
correct. This is something of an Indictment the
men who compose the board.
However, when the governors acts are all dis
closed to, the people in the coming campaign as
they assuredly will be- viii be shown that he
has been extremely free with pardoning power
vested in him board. He may say If he
finds his numerous pardons meet with condemna-
ton the part of the people that Ahe only one
member of the board and therefore, should not be
charged with being liable the acts of the whole
board.
In that event, it will be well for the people to
remember that without the governors consent a
pardon for accused person, it cannot be granted
and he cannot escape his responsibility by attempt
ing lay it all off other members of the board
Very naturally. holding the views he does of the
courts in general the governor does not consider
himself bound by their action in convicting an ac-
cused man. if the supreme court confirm
the conviction. especially when the man is a per-
sonal friend and political supporter.-Miami Herald.
