CALAMITY"

IL is inevitable that those who

ties going downward. should be.
Gin to yell Calamity" There
are thousands OF people in this
world who are easily frightened.
Il is not only their misfortune,
but our own.
. For by yelling to high heaven
that catastrophics are on the
road. they spread panic to others
and make OF very fair situation
a very bad situation. BY precipi-
tate and unconsidered actions,
they lose money for themselves
and induce others 20 do likewise.
We have all known for long
that abnormally high prices much

PARDoNS

Governor W. 2. Hobby has
been the object OF some criticism
on the part OF some OF the unin-
formed people OF Texas on the
ground that he has exercised rath-
er freely his power to pardon
criminals. We know OF no one in
a better position OF know the cir
cumstances OF most Of these par
dons than Lieut.. Gov. ". \.
Johnson. editor OF The Hall Coun-
~ Herald. who. in commenting
on the matter. saws:
Governor Hobby will issue
about two thousand pardons dur
ing his term OF office. Jim Fer
guson issued considerable more
than this during his service OF 2
little over one term. Gov. Col.
quit also issued more than ihi.
number. There has been some
criticism of the liberal pardon
power exercised by Governor
Hobby. We are in position to
know that this criticism is unjust.
Most OF the pardons issuer are
for prisoners who have served
more than half their terms. and in
nearly every case the prisoner had
the approval OF the trial court Of
ficials and OF their local commun-
titles. Peniteniiaries are necessary
20 correct criminals as we'll a. &
protect society. Pardon is Ger
tainly 4 God given blessing in
many cases. Certain il is that nc
greater privilege is vouchsaied in
a modern government. Cover
nor Hohby's pardon record is a
good one and will be approved b
all good citizens"
II would be a fearful thing =
the governor OF the state did not
have the pardoning power. Inc.
qualities which creep into the
sentencing OF men convicted. CT.
rors that are revealed after a trial
has been completed and injustice
unwittingly done through thesc
sentences. may all be corrected by
a fearless and fair-mindcd mar
occurying the mansion at Austin
The work OF the courts would
be a farce IL the pardoning power
should be exercised loosely By the
chief executive. Yet the work OF
the courts. being conducted by
human beings. would sometimes
be harsh and cruel were il not for
the fact that there is a power
back OF them which can correc.
all errors.
We are inclined 10 accept the
estimate OF Lieut.. Gov. ". a
Johnson as to the manner in
which Governor Hobby has ex.
ercised this authority.
