A Level-Headed Governor

Missouri has a level-headed Governor. A wife-murderer recently pleaded to have his death sentence commuted, and the Governor said: "I have not one particle of sympathy for the murderers of women, who after the cowardly deed, shrink behind the coward's plea of insanity and plead for mercy. They should remember that the law is not made for mercy, but punishment, and that, having had no mercy toward their victims, they have no right to ask such from the executors of the law." Come West, Governor, come West.—Alta.
