Prostitutes of Pardon Power.
i A few years ago it was
thought that Jeffries Davis had
established a record with his
wholesome pardons of bootleg
gers, blind tigerites, rapists, se
ducers and various other kinds
of criminals. Then Governor
Patterson of Tennessee started
in the course of a single term
of two years, came near depopu
lating all the jails and convict
camps in his state, exceeding by
far the record that Jeffries had
made. But Jeffries Davis and
Malcolm Patterson must yield
the medal to Governor Blease of
South Carolina. Blease went
into office last January and,
since that time, he has pardon
ed paroled or commuted the sen
tence of 101 murderers and 113
prisoners convicted of man
slaughter. His rate is about one
mankiller a day.—Fort Smith

bay horse, 12 years old, one
white forefoot and one white
