A MAN OF MERCY.


wick in his political life, but most
of unexpectedly all of them
"ere said before he become governor
af the great State of Georgia. Since
assuming the executive chair he has
made SO splendid a governor, and so
thoroughly done what seems to be
the proper thing in practically every
case, that there has been the slightest
criticism OF, him, even among his
most bitter enemies.
The Times-Recorder took little
part in the gubernatorial campaign,
and the governor can hardly say that
this paper was of much use to him
in landing him in office, except that
it refrained from being unfair to
him and gave him square deal in it's
news columns. The Times-Recorder
at that time, however, believed that
he would make good governor if
elected, for a number of reasons,
recognizing the fact that he possess
ed the ability and that the incentive
was strong. We have not been dis
appointed.
This week the Atlanta newspa-
pers are appearing daily with lists
of pardons and paroles granted by
the governor to state convicts. A
livery few are persons whose cases are
well known; most Of them are OBJ
scure individuals, who dropped from
low stations in life into the oblivion
of penal servitude when convicted.
Little if any political good can come
to Governor hardwick from his par
dons and paroles-if his foes should
make the point. On the other hand,
so many persons are opposed to the
use of executive clemency, as a re-
suit of alleged abuses in the past,
that he doubtless will be severely
criticised in some quarters for his
action.
But--isn't it a fine thing, after
all, to have human being, man
with heart, in the governors chair?
In granting these Christmas pardons
and paroles Governor Hardwick is
acting only after the state board, set
up for that purpose, has passed on
each case and recommended it. He
is making no indiscriminate use of
his authority to extend clemency, but
is employing it at this Christmas time
IN emulation Of the example of the
Babe of Bethlehem, bringing joy to
humble homes not otherwise possible
TO attain, and furnishing the oppor-
tunity and inspiration for many an
crring soul to make a new start in
life.
What if he does make paltry
mistake or two, or that not every one
whom ne permits to go back to So
ciety makes good as he should? Isn't
it splendid thing that so many
should have the chance?-and most
of them will embrace it.
Governor Hardwick, to our way of
thinking, is to be commended for ex-
ercising a spirit of mercy toward the
most worthy of these unfortunates
in our penal institutions. In the past
time the doors Of mercy have been
too tightly closed. The law grants
the governor this power, not to have
and to hold alone, but to use with
discrimination and careful judgment
And that appears to be what Cover
nor Hardwick is doing.
Governor Hardwick has proved
himself fighter in the past He is
proving himself real human being
with a heart, as well.
