The following was clipped from one ? jf our exchanges sometime last year 'while Judge Allen, who was recent ly elevated to the Supreme Court Bench, was a Superior Court Judge. We publish it here for the lesson it contains: I "In his splendid charge to the ?grand Jury last Monday morning, Judgo W. R. Allen said among other .good things, that no man can know how far-reaching heredity is. None can tell to what an extent the par ent leaves an impression on the child not only in its physical being, but ia its moral nature as well. That is a true statement, but Judge Allen brought most interesting facts to support that statement, facts which made every man In the crowded court room stop and think. Judge Allen ?cited the case of Max Dukes, a 'drunkard, and a common bum, a not ??sd character for thriftlessness and intemperance. This Max Dukes was born in 1730. Of his descendants 1,200 have been identified and of these, 310 were inmates of poor hous es, 440 were viciously diseased, 50 were prostitutes, 7 were murderers and 60 were thieves. On the other hand there was Jonathan Edwards, the distinguished minister of the Cospel, who was born in 1703. Of Uf descendants of Jonathan Edwards 1.394 have been identified and of these 295 were college graduates, (iu were professors in colleges, over 100 were lawyers, 60 doctors, 75 in the army and navy, 135 were authors, 18 were editors, 3 United States Sena torn and 15 were railroad presi dents." Thr Pardoning Power As a Lawless Factor. The chief result of the punishment of climlnals is the protection of society. It Is more Important that punishment be sure anil that it will stick than that It be severe. The people of Mecklenburg wished Caton to feel that punishment would be ? certain. Crimes of the sort he com mitted can be ended only by pun ishment. Pardon, conditional or oth erwise. !s taken by most men In his line of lawlessness to mean that the authorities do not regard the offense as very serious. They ought never to f?e granted except in exceptional < cast s, and then only In 99 cases out of 103, upon evidence secured after the trial. The Massachusetts press is very serce tn Governor Fobs because in a little more than two months he liberated eleven prisoners. During the past week the Governor of North Cartllna has liberated 21. The Her a'd, writing of Governor Foss' par dons, says: "Of course there is one thing to be *ald in favor of wholesale par tic n?. They make the convict vote solid for the executive showing cle mency. The chances are, however, i that Mr. Fobs is influenced by a , soft heart. If so, he is too soft hearted to be governor." The Boston Post closes the tem perate discussion by saying: "But it behooves Governor Fobs ' and other executives with whom the I state has, more or less accidentally, I iiidpd the pardoning power?it be- 1 hooves them, we say, to go slow rather than too fast. There is real j danger that the Indiscriminate re lease of old offenders may precipi tate such a series of episodes as ' will serve greatly to discredit the new movements of parole and proba- J I tion." In Massachusetts no pardon can , be granted without the approval of the Council of State, and It should be so in North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Frotheringham, who Is chairman of the pardon committee. In a statement of the action of the j board says: | "The members of the council and I have agreed with the governor J wherever It was possible conscientl- i ously to do so, for we are all human and more than kindly disposed; but the dignity of this commonwealth and the courts must be sustained, and we want no rank sentimentallsm and free Jail deliveries here such as take place in Tennessee." The Springfield Republican ap proves the action of the board in checking the executive and says: "It is to the credit of the coun cil that it has exhibited no partisan opposition to the governor?a fact to which uovernor roBs nan w?iu?? ?and hence the added weight of the bar It has Interposed to his excellen I cy's pardoning Ideas. Perhaps even more blocking of the way would have been Justified in the light of past chariness in the exercise of the pardoning power." The excessive and unwise use of the pardoni:>s power has caused crim inals, who nave the money to retain attorneys who are Ftico.tsful in se curing pardons, never to regard a sentence of the court as final. Go out of any court, nearly, and you will hear somebody say: "That is a Just sentence," the answer is "Yes, but he will be pardoned before serv ing half his time." Courts would not be tevere in their sentences, and the executives should never in terfere except in rare cases where deeds of clemency would serve the cause of justice or result in and Ctuse excessive hardship upon the criminal In Tennessee the exercise cf the pardoning power became an ft'ljnnct of a political machine, and the Governor's favorite lawyers I could easily open prison bars and the result was that the pardoning power became a species of anarchy i and lawlessness culminating in the pardon of the murderer of Carmack. |?News and Observer.
