Governor Boies Pardons and Suspends in Iowa Record
In Des Moines on May 29 Governor Boies is noted for a string of pardons and suspensions since April. He granted two pardons and nine suspensions, including five suspensions for violators of the prohibitory law. A notable case freed Kinney, a liquor nuisance violator, on the grounds that a $600 fine was excessive. The Voice reports on other issues including the Briggs controversy at the Union Theological Seminary and a defense of Kaweah Colony in California, framed as a socialistic industrial cooperative experiment facing external opposition.

It contrasts Bancroft’s view with Connecticut and Rhode Island claims, traces the rise of written constitutions from the London and Plymouth Companies, Jamestown’s 1619 assembly, and 1621 ordinances, and explains the evolution from royal charters to Revolution-era popular sovereignty.
