The section-chiefs called the rolls

1.-The skipper wants to say good

He's afraid to tackle it; so he has
asked me to wish you light duty,

civil life. He has asked me to say
to you that he loves you all and will
not soon forget such soldiers as you
have proved yourselves to be.'
"Three for the Skipper Give him
three and tiger!" someDody plead
ed, and the cheers were given with
hearty generosity which even the
most disgruntled organization can
develop ON the day of demobilization
The skipper came to the door OF
the orderly-room.
'HGoodrby, good luck and God
bless you, ladsl' he shouted, and
fled with the discharges under his
arm, while the battery counted
off, and, in command of Farrel
(the lieutenants had already been
demobilized), marched to the pay
tables. AS they emerged from the
paymaster's shack, they scattered
singly, in little groups, back to the
rehabilitation -shacks. resently, beal
ing straw suitcases, "tin" helmets
and gas-masks (these latter articles
presented to them by paternal gov
ernment as souvenirs Of their serv'

Preside gate, where the world swal'
lowed them.
Although he had been the first
man in the battery to receive hi'
discharge, Farrell was the last mar
to leave the Presidio. He waited
until the captain, having distributed
the discharges, came out of the pay

To the Editor: You will kind
ly let me register my objections
to the use OF the pardoning pow
er of Acting Governor Ritner, on
the recommendation of the prose-
cutting attorney, the judge and
the parole board. 1t is possible
that / might over rule my objec-
tions If l knew all of the facts
relative to these pardons. Not
knowing personally the men thus
pardoned must necessarily
judge by the newspaper reports
Of each case. Take for instance
the pardon of Webb, the murder
er. Should murderer be turned
on society? You say that he will
not commit another murder. How
do you know he wont? Have you
any assurance except Webbs' own
words that he will not commit
another such offence? You say
that that is all anyone could give
under the circumstances? 1 deny
that such is the case, or that a
pardon should be granted upon
the word of murderer. From all
one can gather Webb would go
to exactly the same place should
he die natural death or be
hung for the murder he commit
ted. The life he lead before the
murder was much easier for him
than the life he must now, Of
necessity, lead, and if he could
not then of his own strength live
it. without committing murder,
how then can he live without TAX
ing the desperate chance of COM
miting another such deed, l have
lots Of faith in Judge Morrow, as
man and as a judge. Governor
Ritner I do not know personally,
but | am sure that he and the
pardoning board are all good
men, who bend their efforts to-
ward helping those who, in their
estimation, are worthy. But.
don't you realize that Webb could
have gone out of that prison a
new creature, in Christ Jesus,
were he worthy, and not as a
murderer? Don't you know that
II he had been set free by Christ,
that he would have been free in
deed? That he would then had
the strength to combat all evil,
to keep him clean and good.
Then, and then only, might he be
freed without the danger OF

To the Editor.-A recent article
in your issue of The Capital Jour
nal of December 20 last, has
drawn our attention to what we
consider an injustice to the repu-
tation of the Salem high school.
The article under discussion
pertains to the arrest Of several
young men for alleged thefts. Our
objection is the fact that your ar
ticle was expressed in manner
that refers to the high school as a
criminal institution and not as an
educational center.
1t is true that in every body OF
people there is good and bad,
and while the young men under
discussion undoubtedly belong to
the bad element, 1t is enough to
punish them as such and not to
carry 1t to extreme by degrading
the reputation Of the Salem high
school.
The cause for the publishing of
such an article is entirely un-
known to us. Whether 1t was an
error, or the exposing Of grudge
against our school by The Capital
Journal management, we do not
know, but we believe that you
should be enlightened upon the
subject and we hope that in the
future you will ehdeavor to coop
crate with us in upholding the
high ideals of the Salem high
school.
