There have been crimes committed through all the ages as cruel, as dev- ihsh and as premeditately planned and executed as that of George Fergusson when he murdered Frank Noggles in this county iast March—but it 1s dif- ficult for the mind to conceive of one more atrocious. Here where the case was tried and the facts are known the citizens, almost with one accord, condemn the action of the pardoning board for commuting the sentence to life imprisonment. This sentiment does not prevail because the people of Itasca county have any morbid desire to witness a legal hanging, nor be- cause other criminals had escaped un- punished. It is because they realize that the same influence and_ senti- mentality that was brought to bear on the emment gentlemen who constitute the present pardoning board will again be successfully applied to an- other and in a very few years Fer gusson will once more be at liberty to continue his career of crime. It is be- cause the commutation of his sentence is regarded as virtually placing a premium on crime. If there were no laws, justice, swift and certain, would have been meted out to the criminal, As it is the law protects him from violence for a few years while he might have been in danger, only to listen to the pleadings of some poorly paid attorney a half-dozen years hence for the release of “this mere boy led astray,” when he will be liberated. The punishment of life imprisonment is far greater than death, but hfe impnison- ment seldom means what the sentence says, especially when the convicted one is reputed to be a ‘mere boy.” ‘I he people here object to the board’s action because it is based wholly pon false conclusions, as 1s clearly shown in the interview with Senator Mc- Carthey, presented in this issue. It is evident enough that every member of the board does not beheve in inflicting capital pumshment. If such cold- blooded, dehberate crimes as that for which Fergusson was convicted could be made unpardonable from prison they would be mght. It is an awful thing to take human life even by authority of law, but under our pres- ent system of imprisonment and _par- don society is not safe. The board, to carry out its humane notions of justice, sought for and found an al- leged excuse to spare the hfe of a creature 'whose very existence is ab- horrent. The claims that Fergusson 1s only nineteen years of age is a false- hood. He is at least twenty-five. It is to be hoped that this miscar- riage of justice will not finally result in bringing upon Itasca county still greater disgrace. Under desperate conditions communities sometimes find it necessary to become a law un- to themselves. Ir wILt now be in order for the Re- publican press of this district to watch the editorial columns of the St. Paul Dispatch and Pioneer Press tor hbels on Charles A. Towne and reproduce them. He is again in the United States. Tue Wadena Pioneer Journal in- forms the Herald-Review that Bryan can’t win and that Dewey would not accept a Democratic nomination if it were tendered him. The editor of the Pioneer Journal 1s postmaster at Wadena. ’nuf said. ESC Ae ae Ir anygopy should happen to ask who will be the Democratic nominee for president in 1g00, tell him em- phatically that it will be William Jen- nings Bryan. If they should enquire how you happen to know, just tell them you saw it in the Herald-Re- view. —~>_—_—_ AND now comes one Chambers, for- merly of Sheffield, Ala., now chief justice of Samoa, with the declaration that the United States should annex the Samoa group. | He says the policy of expansion should be extended to include Samoa, when the periodical upheavals would cease.

Mc- Carthy of Grand Rapids, and Charley Baldwin of Duluth.” Which prog- nostication will very hkely prove cor- rect—providing Towne refuses to run and Moris fails of a renomunation. Tue railroad commission has is- sued an order to the Great Northern directing that company to construct passenger depots at Nielsville and Shelly. They even go so far as to specify the dimensions of the station houses and how they shall be built, and fix the time when they shall be completed. Not many years .ago such a public interference with the affairs of a private corporation would have been denounced as anarchy. ee ee Hon. Cuartes A. Towne arrived in Duluth last week after an absence of several months in Europe. His welcome home must have been most gratitying tochim. ‘There were repre- sentatives of the party present from many places outside the Sixth district to greet him. If Mr. Towne is not the next fusion candidate for congress from this district it will be his own wish. None other will satisfy the re- form forces. Hap this trouble in the Transval occurred a few years ago, before our own couniry had acquired the habit of trying to follow in England’s foot- rtcps in overpowing weaker nations, all our symyathics would have been with the Boers. Our statesmen would have denounced Britain’s action as an outrage, and our preachers would call from their pulpits for financial aid to be sent ta the oppressed of South Africa. To such a pass have a few years brought us, however, that the invasion of a weak sister republic by the hosts of a powerful monarchy is watched with applause by a certain class in this country. Whither are we drifting ? THE homecoming of Dewey, the president’s visit to the west, the arriv- al of the Thirteenth, the yacht race and several other notable things have of late happened to detract the atten- tion of people from the war in the Phillipines. It 1s still going on, how- ever, and bids fair to do so indefinite- | ly. “The “few followers of Aguinaldo” couldn’t have been so very few, alter all, for, according to the newspapers, at least’ a million must have been killed off during the first two or} three days after the American forces landed on the islands. But maybe they have been killed, and the ad- ministration liked the job so well that itis keeping Otss there waiting for a new generation of ‘few followers” to grow up, in order that the slaughter may go merely on. ——_+0+—__ Our goed friend, the Cloquet Pine Knot, accuses us of referring to ‘post- master-editors” in a scornful manner, and adds that presumably. the editors of this paper wouldn’t accept a posi- tion putting black daubs on the minia- ture likenessess of our past presidents’ physogs, if one were offered them. That’s where you're off, brother—wé are patriots, and as such are wiliing at any time to sacrifice ourselves «for the good of our. country and become “postmaster-editors,” o1 anything else of a similar nature that might be required of us. Should ever such ill luck befall us, we hereby promise to stick by the man responsible for our assignment, even though we know him to be one of mediocre ability. It is altogether likely that we wouldn’t differ much trom the’ ap- pointees of Page Morris on this score. And we would expect go od Republican newspapers to take an linery. MRS. M.
