SUBSCRIPTION PRICK: 1.50 .75 One year tax month fear months & One month FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1010. The action of Governor Patterson or Tennessee, on Wednesday In par doning Colonel Duncan B. Cooper whose sentence of 20 years in the State prison for the murder of the iate Senator Edward Ward Carmack bad. Just been confirmed by the Su preme Court of the State, has arous ed a storm of protest from almost the entire press of the South, besides many papers in all sections of the country. It is safe to say that no criticism of the Governor's act can be too strong, for while there have been many instances of the abuse of the pardoning power, none have been of such unblushing flagrancy as this. Without waiting for any petition, without waiting even for the justices of the Supreme Court to complete the reading of all their opinions In the case, Governor Patterson at once Is sued a full and unconditional par don of Cooper which he had evident ly prepared beforehand to have ready for such a decision. His pub lic statement. Issued with the par don, stating that neither defendant, Duncan or Robin Cooper, was guilty, or had been given a fair trial, was a direct insult to the courts of the State over which Patterson presides by virtue of his office of governor, which should bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every decent citizen of Tennessee. That the vo ters of the State should allow such a man as Patterson to be re-elected Governor at the approaching State election is unthinkable. slayer of a fellow-man would have been free to-day had his fate rested, after the Supreme Court had render. p1 its oolnion. In the hands of a board of three or five men, carefully selected for the purpose of passing on all applications for pardons In the State of Tennessee. The recent case in this State of Baxter Shem well emphasized the need North Carolina has of such a board. This week's Greensboro Patriot, commenting on this subject, presents the matter in the following timely editorial: "We have been very much im pressed for some time, especially in the light of recent occurrences, that the pardoning power carries with it too much responsibility to be vested in one man. This is meant in no sense as a reflection upon our present governor, and we doubt not that he would be one of the strongest advo cates of the establishment of a par doning board to have all these mat ters in charge. At best, it is not a pleasant position which the governor finds himself In when he is appealed to for the exercise of clemency. On the one hand stand justice and the stern demands of the law: on the other, human appeal, almost always pitiful in the extreme, and the in stlncts of mercy and compassion that are in every breast. No man knows the problems that the chief executive is confronted with and must work out entirely alone. The responsibil ity is a tremendous one. It is hard to know when justice has been sat lsfied and the time of mercy has come. Naturally the governor errs, sometimes on the side of mercy. He would be a little more or a little less than human if he did not. "Let us have a body of capable men, ol a strong sense of justice, and yet not without the Instincts of mercy and compassion, whose bus! ness it shall be to meet at stated in tervals and hear all applications for pardon or commutation. in their counsel there will be strength, and they will be apt to get a more com prehensive view of any situation than one man acting alone would. And the governor will be given a re lief which he certainly deserves. BOARD OP PARDONS NEEDED. The case of Colonel Cooper em phasises very strongly the need in every State of a board of pardons.
