Issued Only Fifteen Pardons.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 8.—Acting
Governor Futrell was about the
stingiest chief executive, the is
suance of pardons being consid
ered, the State of Arkansas ever
had. In the five months he held
the office he issued fifteen par
dons, only two of which were
outright. The balance were con
ditional upon the continued good
behavior of the convict.
By this method Governor Fu
trell has robbed several towns of
the state of their best liquor sell
ing talent. He has either re
formed them, or they will go
back to prison to serve out long
sentences.
Of the fifteen pardons issued
by Governor Futrell between A
pril 16 and July 7, four were to
liquor peddlers. They had all
I served a good portion of their
__~ ~4-lirw nfivvlr.n wq ^
OCUL'-HV^O »y i'
issued, with the understanding
that if they ever again violated
! the state laws, back they go tc
i the prison walls. The promise
of these men to obey the law b
counted for more than the pun
! ishment would have resulted in
had they been forced to complete
their sentences.
Six of the pardons were grant
ed boys, all signing an agree
ment to go and sin no more. This
gives the boys a chance to entei
the world and regain the repu
tation they have lost. All were
model prisoners.
One forger was pardoned. One
man was pardoned in order thal
he might receive back a fine he
ihad paid for violating a lav
which was declared unconstitu
tional; another was granted £
pardon on a pistol carrying
charge, after he had servec
several months on a county
farm; another received a par
1 don on a manslaughter sentence
after having been out on parole

for several years, in order that j
he might take a sick wife to J
her parents where she could be ;
well provided for; and another
pardon was granted to a negro 1
who received a sentence of 21
years for carnal abuse, and had
served 10 years of it on the state
farm, when the law limits a sen
tence for this crime to five years.
This is the pardon record of
! Governor Futrell- It might
j have been twenty times as great
had he not turned a deaf ear to
hundreds of petitions he deem
e dto be without merit.
England’s Decline.
It is still true that the Brit
ish drum beat is heard around
the world, and that the sun nev
er sets on her dominions. Her
flag floats as prouldy as ever
jfrom the masts of her mighty
navy. Her army establishment
never was stronger than it is to
! day.
j But, after all. it is not for
such things as these that a na
jtion’s real greatness and glory is
j measured.
It is not the countries with the
most glorious history and the
widest possessions which have
the most contented populations.
England is a great and weal
thy country still, but that does
not mean that her people are
prosperous. They are not. The
millions of unemployed are but
Surface indication of the vital
fact that England has lost mas
! tery of the commercial condi
tions of this age.
England is no longer going for
ward. And not to go forward
is to go backward. She has had
. her day as a world conqueror.
Her dream of empire is fading.
Her people are confronted with
the problem of holding their
own industrially, and being un
, able to solve it, they see their
property slipping from them,
and poverty creeping upon them.
The latest figures make it offi
cially plain that the English
birth rate at present is smaller
than it has been since records
are kept.
What does this mean?
The churchmen say it means
that people are growing more
selfish, preferring being com
fortable with small families to
being uncomfortable with large
ones
Philosophers say that the En
glish people have become wiser,
and are realizing facts to which
they were blind before; one of
these facts is that a big popu
lation on a small island means
low wages and wretched living.
1 Another reason suggested is
, that the nation’s vitnfifi
j coming weaker. Yet another,
I that women are obliged to com
| pete with men and lose time
and taste for domestic life.
All these reasons however,
are secondary, subsidiary. They
do not go to the root of the mat
ter. They^re themselves re
suits rather than causes. The
real reason for the decline of
the birth rate and for the idle
ness in England is that England
s going down hill.
A nation which is destined to
grow greater and greater still
must have a constantly increas
ing population. It must have
plenty of men to be killed in bat
tles, plenty to leave their homes
and plant their country’s flag
in far off climes, and if must
have plenty of employment for
those left at home. English
men are nothing like so ready,
as they once were, to be killed
in battle, nor so ready to colon
ize remote parts of the earth.
The traditionary ambition has
died out of them, and they stag
nate at home on a little island
incapable of supporting them,
and under statesmanship that
is unable to cope with changing
industrial conditions.
Is this a bad thing tor tne
English people? By no means.
Their present hard conditions
must teach them that real glory
lies not in the rainbow of con
quest, but in the mastery of in
dustrial conditions at home. —

Refuses Company Permit.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 9.—The Blue
Sky law, which was passed by
the last legislature to protect
the people of Arkansas against
persons and corporations whc
had worthless stock for sale, is
far reaching in its provisions, as
shown by the declination of J
J. Beavers, who has charge ol
this work in the office of the
State Auditor, to permit an Ok
lahoma concern to do business ii
this state.
The Oklahoma concern filed f
statement which was everything
that could be asked, and an ex
cellent showing of the stock th(
concern desired to sell in Arkan
sas was a favorable one. It
was too favorable to suit Capt
Beavers- He then wrote the of
ficers of the company that their
statement looked good on its
face, but he was still not satis
fied, and he would only grant the
permit after an employe of the
department had gone over the
books of the concern. He stated
that if the company would pay
the expenses of the department
expert to make the trip to Ok
lahoma, and the books sustained
the favorable showing of the
statement, he would be pleased
to issue the permit, otherwise he
would be compelled to prevent
the company doing business in
Arkansas.
