Governor Hooper commuted the sentences of lour prisoners at the state prison, Thursday, and issued complete pardons for three others. Tho clemency shown was recommended In each case by the trial judge, attorney-genera, the advisory board of pardons, and a number of reputable citizens In the counties where the respective crimes were committed.

Ed Bruco, colored, who was sent up in 1003 for a life term for first degree murder, will ho pardoned after serving, fifteen years. It appears that bov7 eral witnesses who, would havo testified in his favor were not present at his trial, and furthermore, he has been an exceptionally good prisoner. Tho sentence of Porter Dowdy, sent up from Pickett' county in 1009 for a term of twenty years for murder in the second, degree, was commuted to twelve years. The life sentence of Isaac Welch, sent up from Morgan county for tho murder ot his brother in 1008, was commuted to soven years. Tho wife of the dead brother has made an affidavit that she withheld several facta which would have been favorable to the prisoner during Ills trial.

According to her statement the verdict In his case should have been manslaughter. 1 James Ramsey, sent up from Jackson county in 1911 for four years, after being convicted of manslaughter, w(JI be released after serving three years. Ho would havo been granted a pardon had It not been for a breach of prison discipline which Is marked up against him. THOSE PARDONED. Lloyd Ramsey, brother of James Ramrey, was given a pardon, having been sentenced for tho same crime as his brother.

He has made a model prisoner. P.euben Bolton, sentenced from Campbell county for three months, with a fine of In addition, was pardoned, on the ground that ne Is suffering from a loathBomo disease which is dangerous to himself and others. Miller Jolks, colored, sent up from Crockett county for a term ot six years on the charge of voluntary manslaughter, was given a pardon after having served four years of his sentence. Tho facts show that the deceased was a burly man, while tho defendant was a more boy at the time of conviction. "I was a Hide man I St.

Since to-expose one's self to what ia "called the. proximate occasion of sin, or become the proximate occasion of sin others, is in itself sinful, the sin taking tho character df tho occasion or actj it follows that a penitent who so exposes himself to the danger of committing gricvlous sin, or Is the occasion of others committing it, Is not contrite, and hence can not receive absolution In the tribunal of penance. "The application of these principles is obvious. If. these indecent dances are an occasion of sin to those who Indulge In them, or If by indulging in them, they themselves becomo an occasion of sin to others, and if in the tribunal of penance they refuse to cease indulging in them, it follows that they are not sincerely sorry tor their sins, and- hence can not receive absolution.

By well instructed Catholics theao principles are clearly understood, as they are also by the children in our schools, and I only felt it necessary to request the priests of tho dioceBo to call their attention to them in reference to these vile dances, and to warn both young and old that If they indulge in thorn, It would be useless for them to go to confession In the hope of obtaining absolution, for should any priest be ao indiscreet as to attempt to absolvo suoh a penitent, the absolution would be worthless, and tlie confession would bring a curse rather than a blessing. "I had long been convinced that theso dances were working sad havoc among young men and women, and I had no reliable testimony on which to base a condemnation. Fortunately this was supplied by a society of Catholic gentlemen in Memphis, namely, tho Knights of Columbus, who, In their corporate capacity, published a circular condemning these dances, and publicly avowed their purpose to expel any member who should attend any entertainment at which such dances were indulged in, or who finding himself In such a place should not at once leave op learning that these dances were to bo 'part of tho entertainment of the evening. Thoy further call upon Catholic parents to ostracise and exclude from their homes all young men and women who engage In these dances, and to shield their sons and daughters from the sllmv touch of Buch moral lepers. They call them Infamous dances, the spawn of the rod light district, and the proliiic means of securing from tho homes of purity and virtue recruits for tho bawdy houso.

These are strong words, used by gentlemen who seemingly know what they aro. talking about, and thoy amply Justify mo in warning Catholics that they who do such thingB aro not of Christ, and can not hope to receive His pardon, peace, and blrsslng," Attorney Sworn In.
