GOVERNOR EXPLAINS
WHY HE PARDQNED
SOLDIER Offender

Governor Baxter. on being shown
the statement in one of the daily
papers that he had pardoned a SOL
der On condition that he enter the
army and criticizing the governor for
making the army dumping ground
for undesirables." saiC Friday:
1.-THE pardon Of Fred Smith,
regular army soldier, has excited
some unfriendly newspaper COM
ment. The facts are these. Fred
Smith a soldier at one of the Portland
forts. was convicted on September
first of having half pint of liquor in
his possession. He was sentenced
to Jail for three months and fined
$500. with an additional Jail sentence
of six months if. the. fine was not
paid. This young man had enlisted
for three years in the regular army
and had completed about two months
of his military service.
Sometime in December, 1928, Col.
e. +. Farnsworth, commanding off,
Ger OF the Portland Coast Defences,
came to my office and asked me to
pardon Smith. He said he had a
good record. and that the army
wanted to take him back if he could
b. released from Jail. Col. Farms
worth asked me what the formali-
ties were and said he was prepared
to employ a LAWYER. told Col.
Farnsworth that In so far as l was
concerned, I would favor the pardon,
If he requested it, and that he need
not go to the expense Of n lawyer or
otherwise. l also told him that, II
the captain of Smiths company
would come to Augusta and make n
brief statement, that probably would
be all that was necessary. AS, n
matter of fact, l had the formal pa
pers prepared by the Secretary Of
State without expense to anybody.
The hearing was held Jan. 16 and
Capt. Fl. A. McMarrow, Smiths
commanding officer, of the Gath
Coast Artillery Company. came to
Augusta and asked that the pardon
be granted, saying that the army
wanted to take the man back and
give him opportunity to redeem his
reputation. Capt. McMorrow- said
thaAif Smith was pardoned he could
get an honorable discharge at the
end of his three years military SER
vice. but If he had to stay in jail 1t
would always be stain on his rec
ord and an honorable discharge
could never be given him.
1.-THE councillors and myself felt
that here was n good opportunity to
let a man be re-instated and make
good and the pardon was granted.
"As a matter of fact, the state
authorities CO. operated in every way
and the pardon granted was n full.
free and ~ unconditional pardon.
There was no condition imposed that
the man Smith should go back in
the army, although the officers at the
Fort were eager to have him do so:
TT Is wrong to say that l granted
the pardon in order to dump an I'M
desirable man on the army because
the whole affair came from the army
officers themselves, and the man
himself. only 20 years Of age. wanted
to make another start in life. Inc
officers wanted the man back In the
army and asked for his pardon SO
that they might get him. There was
no dump, no conditions In the par.
don and no cause for criticism OF
the governor"

FACTORS IN ACCIDENTS
BY Il. AddinQtOn Bruce

T GNORANCE haste, recklessness and care
| 1essness are undoubtedly the chief factors
in causing accidents. But back of these
and underlying them there frequently are |
other factors not taken sufficiently into
account in anti-accident campaigns.
Fatigue is one such factor. If the acci-
dent rate is steadily rising, and statistics in
dictate that it is, the general speeding up"
of life with resultant increase in fatigue,
must be held partly responsible.
1t is no mere coincidence that accidents
tend to lessen in business establishments
where a system or "rest periods" is intro
duced. But even the protection thus gained
may be more than offset if, outside of busi-
ness hours. fatigue-producing modes of recre-
alton are made the rule.
AS they are made the rule today by large
numbers Of people. Yet it should be obvious
that to tire oneself excessively by play is
just as conducive to accidents as to tire
oneself excessively by work.
However produced, fatigue always dimin-
ishes control and control dimlnlshes ac-
cident liability increases. For the same
reason it is important, in the interest of ac-
cident prevention, not merely to guard
against needless fatigue but to take positive
measures to keep oneself fit physically
possible.
Even slight impairment in health may
become contrbutory factor in accidents.
Not long ago an English physician, DR.. H.
NJ. Vernon at conference on welfare work
in industry, rightly stressed the point that
so slight thing as a common cold, by inter-
ferin9 with aertneSs and concentration pow
er, might subject its victim to serious risk
of accident
BY the same physician emphasis was laid
on another often ignored factor in the caus- !
ing of accidents--the influence exercised on
the organism by unfavorable housing condi-
tons. Light, ventilation, and heat may all
play a part in affecting the frequency of ac-
cidents. According to DR.. Vernon:
''In factory experiment it was found
that there was minimum of accidents when
the temperature was between IS and 60 +.
When the temperature fell degrees there
were per cent more accidents.
Another S degrees lower, accidents in
creased by ! 6 per cent, while further drop
of degrees involved 35 per cent increase.
At temperatures above SO f. accidents again
increased
Finally any enumeration of unsupported
ignored factors in accident~causation
should include emotional strain and lack Of
emotional control.
The worried the anxious, the grieving, the
Respondent the jealous, and the angry-all
these are re-disposed to accidents through
the physical disturbing effects of their unfor-
tunate mental states. Hence occasions
of mental disquietude, there is very special
need for the conscious exercise of caution.
And hence also, as an accident-preventing
measure of real Importance the cultivation
of emotional control should be urged on all.
Serenity, poise cheerfulness always make
for safety as for power. ''

associations, thus getting to the maximum
the good that can be obtained through pool
selling
The growth of the Georgia Cooperative
association in number of members and in
amount of cotton handled. should be well
coined by all broad-thinking citizens. The
cooperative principle is correct. 1t will
help the producer when it is put into effect
with good management.
1t is no panacea; it cannot accomplish the
impossible; it will fail when mismanaged
or even when not managed with a high de-
sree of efficiency, for it is merely a bust
ness, with many owners instead of a few,
and it has no invulnerabilty against the
ills that any business may incur.
The association in this tate seems to
have had efficient and economical manage
ment since the start Hence its success is
natural. This success should be pleasing to
all citizens, for it means the giving OF
suuarer deal to the backbone of our social
body the farmer.

Asserting La1O and Order

@OBB COUNTY'S grand jury, though un-
I able to determine the identity of the
criminals in the Austel flogging case,
condemn the crime in words that will ring
round the State Unanimously and I'M
qualifedly' the grand jurors go on record
"cowardly and INSCRIPTIONS men, who are
traitors to every standard Of democratic and
honest government" They deplore the pres
ence, within their county's confines, of men
$50 depraved to engage in this method of
retaliation for any grievance either real or
Imaginary" They regret that they have
been unable, for want of due evidence, to
bring the guilty to book. "In the suppress
sion of violence and the enthroning of reason
and justice as embodied in the law, as the su-
preme power of this republic" they declare,
"lies the only assurance of the preservation
of the free institutions of this government.
And thus they conclude their trenchant reso-
buttons: I'VE most earnestly trust that every
avenue of the law will be employed until
complete and adequate punishment has been
meted out to the members of this mob
Where that spirit prevails, justice is GER
tain to come into her own. The grand jury
has spoken the mind of it's county's upright
and loyal citizens, whose cooperation will
turn those admirable words into yet more
admirable deeds. Never should opportunity
be lost for pledges of allegiance to the law
and denunciation of those who trample it
under foot For while one Indictment and
conviction may be worth many resolutions,
nevertheless the effect of official judgment
and public sentiment, repeatedly expressed,
is far-reaching. Indeed, the individual citi-
can render no more patriotic service than
to urge, in daily dealing and converse ton,
the Importance of unfolding the law and the
peril of ever suffering its enemies, sngly or
in groups, to go unchallenged and unpun-
ished Every Georgian, whether in official
station or with the rank and file, has an in
fuence to exert for this great cause. Let
none fail to use that influence worthily, Wig
orously, constantly.
