The Tribune has a way of ‘‘getting there” with its undertakings. J . The resemblance of General Villa to the late Napoleon Bonajarte which some people discovered just after he captured Juarez and started on his conquering tour of the City of Mexico, is no longer apparent to the naked eye. He is hitting all sorts of snags in his advance and it is quite possible that he may yet be backed up against a wall in front of a firing squad. Pl ' Our State board of pardons has a much more rational way of exercis- ing clemency than (ole Blease with his wholesale release of murderers. At the session of the board in Tal- lahassee a few days ago seventy- eight applications for pardon were considered, and of these conditional pardons were granted to sixteen ap- plicants, muted, two sentences were com- fourtecn applications were passed further consideration, forty-five applications were denied and one application was not consid- ered because the statutory require- ments had not been complied with. 0 The Tampa papers will now have a little score to settle with Mr. Rog- er \W.
