THE BEAUTY OF PARDON

That one prominent General of the army should charge another with responsibility for recommend ing that soldiers in Frsncc sentenced to death on conviction of having slept when on post be exc cutedj lis a matter of negligible importance, oi little interest to the public. All four of these boys were pardoned by President Wilson. That Is what counted, as the sequel proved.
 When the condemned faces death. waiting. hoping-for hope abides in the very last-what must be his thoughts? In every such there must be acute mental anguish The most hardened. the most callous nature inyountary shrinks at the approach of that cold, passonaeless, inevitable thing we call death.
 These were four healthy boys, perhaps tired out by intense fatigue. unknown hardship. They slept at the post of duty. This breach of discipline is deeoly culpable It cannot be permitted It endan- gers lives of thousands It might decide the is. sue of war. It should be punished. And yet there may well be sometimes when the stern rigor of the military code should be modified.
 The President acting within his right as Com mander-n- Chief pardoned these four lads. and the country generally approved his act That act subse- quently was justified by the glorious performances of the pardoned
 Lincoln understood the value of life and the qua- ity of mercy Many he pardoned during the Civil War. Once he senced his critics by saying: When each man at home, back of the lines, can prove to me that he is doing, and has done, his whole duty, will listen to these cries for the death of boys of the Grand Army of the Republic who have been rcmiss in way.
 With, the responsibility of the officers connected with the affair have concern. But 1t may be said that Presidents in pardoning these four American lads not the least among his many services to the country.
 Of course all the beauty of a pardon depends up on whether or not it is wanted--whether or not 1t the result of repentance. pardon is worse than useless 1t is harmful unless the recipient has learned his lesson and to pay for his error by good works and good living.

Wilson's Veto and Congress
(Cincinnati Enquirer. ]

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 President Wilson's veto of the prohibition en- forcement law has been quickly overridden by both houses in a way that shows conclusively where our representatives at Washington stand upon the mat ter Rut in it's haste to pass the law the veto, Congress did not convince far-mnded Amerlcans that the President wrong in his action
 Regardless of what ones opinion is on the wet and dry question, the Presidents reasoning for his action in yeoing the law should appeal to one as consistent He did let the force of the popular prohibition wave override his of the legality and justice of the measure before him. He main taned his composure, and, in his opinion, the measure was inconsistent and illegal, he refused to sign it and sent it back to Congress.
 The speed with which the members of Congress acted proved that their minds made up and not open to the Presidential presentation. Fair minded Americans will approve the course of the President and admire his stand in declining to ap- prove he felt illegal and inconsistent, though it ran counter to the intense partisan feeling that dominates the country the prohibition ques- tion.
