PUBLICITY AND PARDONS.
The liberal use. i 1' not abuse, of
the pardoning power by President
Taft and many of I he Governors
of stales has led Governor Sulzer
of New .York lo adopt a plan that
might well be generally emulated
by chief executives of slates.
“When applications are made
to me,” he says, “I will at, first
notify the judge and the district
attorney. Then I will get all thus
Yacis and lay them before the
newspaper men and through them
before the people. The people
have the right to know why par
dons are granted."
The people have a right to
know a good many things that
state and other officials have oft
en kept from them. It is i-efresh
ing to find that New York has a
governor who realizes elective of
fice does not give an inalienable
license to work in the dark.
HOODLUMS IN THE NAVY.
Judge Goff of New York, who
seems to be blessed with much j
comjinon sense, the other day di- (
recte.d attention to a change in the J
American navy. A young man
was before him on a lai'ceny
charge and the prisoner’s attor
neys argued that, if the charge
were . dismissed the young man
would promptly enlist in the navy.
• “The. time is past,” said the
judge, “when the court should
send thieves to the navy. Our
navy is trying to raise the stand
ard of the service and does not
want thieves and burglars.”
There is no question that the
navy is an admirable school of!
reform. Its service commands
obedience, cleanliness, industry
and inculcates decency. Never
theless, that is not the purpose
for which it is maintained, and
the effort to raise the service to
the plane of a career should he
encouraged. It . is not only the
better appearance on parade, it is
the lighting quality that will he
improved. j
The hoodlum and (lie petty j
Ihief are no more welcome in the
army and navy of today than they
are anywhere else.

Recent dispatches told of a

of thirteen puppies. The young

to. be a clear case of transferring
o dog’s bark to a human being—a
wonderful operation, to be sure,
when one looks at it in that lan
guage. But what we started out
to say was that thtire will be njany
persons who will shiver over the
supposed suffering of the pups,
forgetful of the agonies of the boy
and (he saving of his life.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
“Facts Are Facts.”
It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
