Pi'WOw for Re^eet of Law and
Oredr, Not the Violation of Statnt*

Safety of Society.
Got
tor Brown, of Georgia, la
of a ciear-cnt, deflniu and
matured Idea* with reaped to the un-
reatrtdtad and arbitrarily discretion
ary power of pardoning of criminals
conferred upon him oy tho Constitu
tion of the State. And those idena
ara diametrically and utterly oppos
ed to the views entertained by
Governor Blease, of South Carolina,
as, set forth In Hearst’a Sunday
American of last Sunday. Governor
Blease generally is looked upon aa
the easiest source of pardon, parole
or commutation In the South. He
boasts that It Is his ambition to make
his pardon record in South Carolina
the greatest the state ever has
known, Insofar aa the total number
Of released prisoners la concerned.
And to make It that, be is willing to
Stretch the law in the prisoners' fav
or to its uttermost limit.
Governor Brown has no ambition
ts set a record paralleling Governor
Blease's st any point. To him, the
rights of society and the State are
superior to the petitions of & duly
convicted criminal, and he contracts
the law sternly and jealousy to its
written limits In considering pleas
for clemency. Here is Governor
Brown’s Ideas and theory of the par
doning power. They are worth read
ing:
“In considering the matter of ex
ecutive clemency, I will say. in the
first plnce. that those who are in
eflsed to deeds against the peace of
society should be made to know that
It Is a very serious thing to violate
the laws
"In the second place, with that ele
meet undoubtedly th»- strength <>f Uw
law Is the certainty of Us enforce
ment.
"Yet. weakening this, there seems
te he growing in the minds of many
of the better element of our people a
belief that after a criminal has been
in the penitentiary for several
yearn he has been 'aufhclently pun
ished* and that the executive of the
Mate owes It as s kind of moral duty
to set him free, so that he may re-
hlmself as a maa of charae-

Robert Dunbar, the eight-year-old
child who was kidnapped at the borne
of its parents near Opelousas, La.,
last August, has been found and
identified by Mr. Dunbar, the father,
according to a statement made at the
sheriff’s office at Columbia, >Mlss.
A man, giving his name as W. C.
Walters, has been placed in jail
charged with kidnapping the child.
Mr. Dunbar has the child in bis
possession, and while he Is positive In
his identification, he has telegraphed
Mrs. Dunbar to come to CoHimbia
and see the child, Mr. Dunbar stated
that his Identification was made by
means of certalo .scars and marks op
the child’s body.
Walters, who travels about the
country In a wagon repairing clocks
and stoves, stated that a window In
North Carolina gave him the child
more than a year ago.
He was questioned closely by Mr.
Dunbar about his movements since
last August, and It is claimed made
several contradictory statements.
Walters was arrested two weeks
ago, but told what appeared to be a
reasonable story about the child an 1
was released. Mr Dunbar was noti
fied, however, and came to Columbia
to make a personal investigation.
He found the child had b«*en left with
a man named Wallace in West Co
lumbia. After identifying the child,
he and several deputies set out in
search of Walters, whom they locat
ed near Morgantown, about twelve
miles north of Columbia.
The Dunbars and their friends
have spent several thousand dollars
In search of tho missing child, and
several montha ago offered a large
reward for Its recovery Numerous
tramps and other migratory Individ
uals have been arrested in this and

srfclek them people overlook. That Is
the fact that if. after a trial, begin
aiag with indictment by the Grand
Jttrjr and running through the pro-
oevAInga In the trial court and the
appeal tb the higher courts a violator
of the law has been sentenced to
serve a given number of years. It is a
fair aaaumptloa that the ,'ury knew
Its baelneae when It found him guilty
and that the trial judge, with the
cam freak In mind, knew and attend
ed to bis business when he fixed a
eertain period of time as the proper
limit of bis punishment.
"Why, then, must the executive of
fleer, who was not in the court room
and did not hear or soe the witnesses
tMlify, changer say. a ten-year sen-
teace te one of only two year*, or any
other term shorter than ten year*’
Why skosLl he urn the office to de
feat or to supplant tire courts or at
tempt to make of it a court of cor-
rectionT
"In clemency hearings It has been
stated to me time and again that the
State does not need to hold that man
away from hla family a longer time
thaa the period he has already serv
ed. Harrowing accounts of the nec-
emltiea of the family are brought be
fore the Prison Commission and the
^atecntlve. There is too much truth

There are other cruises which call
for the exercise of clemency in ex

icons whom theae criminals have shot

warning?
"They (the criminals) have re
moved forever the power of those
■mb to provide for their families, and
co-ordinately made it necessary for
the State to withdraw tho offenders
from the power to take care of their
•wn families. The confinement com
plained of is not the fault of the
State, but it is a supreme duty which
the lawless acts of criminals have
made necessary. It must in such
cases be made clear to those in the
criminal element that if they incut
penalties those penalties will be en
forced.
“In these remarks I have referre ’
primarily to criminals who have
taken human lives; but the same ob
ligation reels upon the people of the
the State to obey all the law’s, snd
the same obligation js upon the offl-
oers of the State to enforce all the
laws.
“Of course, no hard and fast rule
€ah2fo laid down to govern all cases
alike. The Constitution places upon
Ike exsentive officer the power to
grant pardons In his discretion; but
that discretion he Is expected to use
onty after the eaerclee of tho groat-
ast ears. It la trae that occasionally
ting a premium on crime, we ought
to put it on respect for law. Instead
of excusing or condoning those who
violate the law, we ought to encour
age and protect those who obey it.
We need more rivets and less elastics
in the application of the criminal
law. We should force it upon the
knowledge of the good and the bad
that the law is a solid rock wall, not
i wovqn wire fence.’’
