An imonymotiR corrrapondont
desires to know why n governor
should not bo endowed with tho
power of pardoning, commuting
and paroling prisoners. Because
as a rule- lie does not delve deep
ly enough into the crime, and
permits nimscii to ue swayed y
his convictions, sympathies or
the influence and importunities
of friends of the condemned. It
is surely not riirht that a county
should nay thousands of dollars
in trial and chasing all over the
country after criminals, tho
judge and jury and witnesses
spending days and weeks in
sifting and weighing the evi
dence, finally reaching a verdict
of guilty, and then hare all the
expense, time and inconvenience
go for naught by reason of the
governor setting the criminal
free. If twelve men are not
capable of judging, surely one
man who cannot take the time
the jury has done to sift through
all the evidence, is also not
capable. Hut the governor has
the final word. If the governor
is to be forever endowed with
the powers he possesses, would
it not be belter to try criminal
cases before hi in and dispense
with a jury as an useless arm of
the law?

The Best Light
At The Lowest Cost
ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large
or small, thereby furnishing any required
amount of light. Furthermore, electric lamps
can be located in any place, thus affording any
desired distribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qualifications, there
' fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are
rapidly replacing all others in modern establishments.
