A very brave and plucky and persistent little girl ‘We twelve-year-old Jennie McLaren, whose childish pleas have won freedom for her convict father. This father h hed killed Jennie’s mother and had been sentenced to prison for twenty years. Three years ago, after McLaren ‘had served less than one-third of his term, Jennie began ‘the efforts that have now been rewarded by the release of the prisoner on parole, Even after full allowance is made! for the directing counse] and advice of elders, there re- Mains great credit for Jennie. The thousands of influ- ential names on her petition sufficiently evidence the merit of her work. On the day McLaren was paroled liberty was denied Tdbbie Garrabrant by the same Board of Pardons that had shown its leniency to little Jennie’s father. Libbie Gerrabrant also had taken the life of a human being, ‘Dut, the Court having originally pronounced her deed | murder where it had called McLaren's manslaughter, the Board held that the technical difference prevented the Gaerrabrant women from participating in the boon of] ¢¢64 66666 freedom granted McLaren. It decided that it was “against the policy of the Board to interfere further,” and| "TEE OLD the prisoner, having passed thirty-one years behind the () bars, will dowbtless remain there for the rest of her JOKES 1.

But so was McLaren's; and there will arise in the minds of many a question as © whether the quality of mercy has not been strained in #hese cases. Are they not sufficiently alike to justify the riticism, especially as there is no contention that either prisoner is less guilty than when convicted? org ‘There has been no little girl to intercede for Libhie Garrabrant.
