The State Pardon Board now has under cutuddei atioii an application for commu tation oi tue i.culeuct of lorn Allen, the young man *bo killed Charlie Carr, a oaruuder, while temporarily insane irom the use of Intoxicant*, and wno has been tH.-titem.cd to bang lor his crime. All the circumstances surrounding the death of Carr were sad, and the tragedy was deplorable from every standpoint. But it is the duty of the Pardon Board, it seems to us, to weigh this case front a dif ferent point of view. The point of view, to be very plain, that regards Allen ihim et ls as the victim of the business in which Carr was engaged. Tom Allen was a fine specimen of young manhood. He was big-hearted, good na tured and brave. He was not one who could bear ill-will toward another for a day. But he had a weakness; indeed he was cursed with an affliction more terri ble than insanity, more pitiable than any hereditary physical taint that flesh is heir to. The average man does not understand, cannot even remotely comprehend the physical, mental and moral conditions that allow a man to become the victim of the whisky habit. The average man will tell you that every man is responsible for his acts whether drunk or sober; that he be comes intoxicated through bis own famt, and that lie is, therefore, entitled to no sympathy for the trouble that he thus brings upon himself. These same people contend that no man becomes entirely IrrtMsponsible under the Influence of liquor. You w'ill even hear men who are addicted to the habit themselves argue the most vehemently on this point. How little they know about the real curse of this disease. They make a mis take, in tlie first place, by judging others by themselves; in believing that because liquor affects them in a certain way it affects all others In the same manner. Those who have never used intoxicants at nil are, manifestly, not competent to give an opinion either way. But the testimony of those who know, from actual experience, the contrary of all ithese theories, should be considered of far greater value. There are men in Macon today, holding positions of honor and tru:«t, respected by all who know them. 'Who arc Torn Aliens -in all except his present predicament. Fortunately for the world, these in stances are few, but they exist, and wher ever one of these unfortunates is found there the world will find a man who is to be pilled rather titan censured. Science has found a name for every weakneea that afflicts mankind. The law recognizes and accepts Hie evidence of science in nearly all infractions growing out of these diseases except in that of dipsomania. It would, perhaps, be idle to make such a plea, because of the manifest danger involved in acquitting men of all responsibility for their acts while intox icated. But positive evidence of such an affliction can. without detriment, be ac cepted as an extenuating circumstance, and, at least, secure mercy for tlie other victim of that terrible evil. Where no malice or motive is shown. Tills is Tom Mien's case in a nutshell. He .must suffer, as he has suffered, 'for •the curse with which nature has afflicted him. and for the unlawful act that is the outcome of this curse. But who is so hard-hearted as to deny that he is entitled to mercy—even the mercy which God him self shows to those who are so afflicted. If it were not for raking up the bitter, almost forgotten past, we could recite oc currences that would have made certain respected, honored citizens of Macon mur derers even as Tom Allen is—but for the skill of physicians or the slight deviation of the bullet or blade. Acts committed by men who knew nothing of the circum stance until reason had been restored, and ■who, to this day. are as ignorant of the occurrence that almost made them a mur derer as if they had not been present. Ts it possible that liquor so affects some men? Do not seek the answer of those who have never been so affected; ask of those who know from terrible experience that, it is too true. Then why will such men drink? Why will some men become sick with fever? Certainly not fn r >h e pleasure of the delirium that follows. Sim ply because nature makes it so. And they are as morally responsible for their acts of violence in a fit of delirium as the dip somaniac is while insane from liquor. Why. knowing this, does a man ever go near a barroom again, why raise a glass of the deadly fluid to his lips? Why does the maddened horse rush wildly into the burning building, to be cremated alive? Ask of that. Divine Creature who made ns what we are, even unto the lowest or der of animals. The law. whether wisely or unwisely, does not recognize such a plea. There fore Tom Allen has been made to accept full responsibility for an act which he knew nothing of, until told all of its hor rible details the next day, as he lay in a cell slowly recovering his reason. But men who are entrusted by the great state of Georgia with more than judicial pow ers, such as are the prison commissioners, are expected to go outside of the letter of ■the law in their effort to see that injus tice Is not done even the humblest of the citizens of this state. They can and must, very properly, take into consideration many things that could not properly go before a jury. They must review this rase in its broadest light. And in doing so we COme tke conclusion that Tom Alien is as much to be pitied as fx Carr hlms elf~the other victim of the liquor curse. We believe they will not allow a young man to bang for an act <^t. VaS “ Ore hIS mlsfortune than his The People Demand It. Avts of lawlessness continue to occur almost nightly in Macon, and the police aeem powerless to prevent them. This as The News has clearly shown, is no- the fault of the police, but is due entirely to the fact that those sections of the city in ■which these nightly holdups occur are practically without police protection, ow ing to the limited number of patrolmen on duty. It begins to appear that those who com mit these depredations are fully posted as io the habits of the few policemen stationed in the residence portion of the city, and know the exact time these patrolmen are required to report to head quarters through the call boxes. For instance, the officer who patrols College street must report at a certain hour from the Rose Hill cemetery call box, and next from the Mercer College box. The thieves keep tab on the patrol man, and while he is making his way from one box to another they find an op portunity to do their work. It is evident that one or two extra po licemen stationed in that section of the city would deter these pootpads, or, at least, be able to effect their capture. The • . ~ same conditions exist in other sections of I the city, and the same remedy could be 4?%%^JR and should be applied. iftlui II is B It ha* been suggested, by someone as- > &K S > dieted with paresis, that the military be ■ * called out to protect the city.

Rose, who for 30 many years sold cigars at rhe hotel stands own ed by him in this city, and at several stores, always disliked co sell cigars by the box to any of his customers. His the ory was that customers who bad a box of their favorite cigars handy were apt to smoke too many, and the inevitable result was that they soon got tired of any favor ite, while they would smoke the same ci gar for years without any but pleasant consequences if they bought them in small quantities. The only remidy 1 know is for a person, the instant he feels any un pleasant effects from a cigar, to throw it away, rense the mouth out with cold wa ter and drink a large class of the same. A large quantity of cold water in the stomach seems to neutralize the effects of the cigar better than anything I know of. My experience is that cigars are barome ters by which persons are readily fore warned as to their physical condition. The mere fact that a regul.tr smoker does not want to smoke shows that there is some thing wrong within him. and it is best to pay attention to the indication and leave cigars alone until he feels that he can enjoy them. —Washington Star.
