The Unwritten Law.

Governor Beckham. the chief executive
OF the proud State Of Kentucky, was a
delegate to the Democratic National Con-
vention. recently in session In st. Louis,
and he attended every session OF the big
meeting.
The law OF kentucky provides that
when the Governor Is, for any reason.
called beyond the limits OF the State the
Lieutcnant-Governor becdmes, during
such absence, the legal chief executive
Of the state, and all tho power vested
3 in the Governor falls to his hands.
Thus It happened that during the ses-
sion Of the st. Louis Convention Mr..
Thorne. who is the observation-disclosures
of Kentucky. became the acting and ac.a
tual Governor cfsthe State for about ten
days. Governor Thorne Is a modest kind
OF a man. and had no intention OF becom-
Ing famous pending this ten days lease
OF much power; but. all the same, lie did,.
On the second or third day of his tenn
porary incumbency Of sthe5executive chair
a young woman. the mother OF a three
months'-old babe. was brought to the
Kentucky penitentiary to serve a term Of
ten years imprisonment for murder.
AS the woman. with the babe In her
arms. entered the penltentiary a delega-
ton ofimen and women entered the Office
Governor Thorne witt a request
for her unconditional pardon. The story
of the alleged crime, trial and conviction
of the woman. as related TO the Acting
Governor. was, briefly, as follows:
The young wife was living ha pplly with
her husband, when another young woman,
with equal or superior personal charms,
came upon the scene and won from the
wife. soon to be mother. the affections
and the attentions of the husband. In
plain English, a weak man and husband
was seduced by brazen woman. The
the road and killed her. The wife was
arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced
to the penItentiary for a term OF ten
years. The Acting Governor pardoned
her before she had served twenty-four.,
hours. and he gave his reason in a few
words that Will make him famous. Cow
ernor Thorne wrote: 81
There is certain sentiment in Ken
lucky. called unwritten law. which has
prevailed in many cases under my obser-
Walton. When men have been acquitted
by Judge and jury In similar cases their
decision has met with applause y
In some quarters the Acting Governor
OF Kentucky Is being harshly criticised
for his action, but why should not the
Law apply to the outraged wife
as well as to the outraged husband,
father, son or brother? Why not?

Japanese Setback.

& At the hur In which this Is written the
story OF a great defeat for the Japanese
In battle In which they are said to
have lost 10000 men has not been con-
firmed, but there Is much reason for be-
lieving 1t to be true. We have all the
while believed that there must in time
come some break in the succession of
Japanese victories. That the Russians
we're as weak as the correspondents have
been making them out to be, no well
Informed persons has been able to be-
lieve. and that they were as totally UNI
prepared for this war as the results so
far would seem to indicate has been hard
to believe. Judging from ths past his
tory OF Russia and her perpetual mill
tary preparedness.
i We have been looking for some such
change in the tide OF war in the far
East as this rumor Of Japanese defeat
would indicate. but even granting that
the rumors be true, It is no sign that the
brave and resourcefui Japs are destined
to final overthrow. They could not look
for success all the time, and it Is proba-
BILE that a defeat now and then. more or
less serious. will In the end prove a bless.
Ing to them. IN that 1t may make them
more cautious In the field and bring

II am" replied the insurgent chief.
Il am the correspondent of the
Paris Matin. Ny name is NJ. Bordin,
and 1 should be pleased to have an in
terview with you for my paper"
Sarafoff talked a long time with the
man, and noticed several things.
First, the stranger spoke French with
a slight accent-not the accent of a
German or of an Englishman, but
that of an Asiatic. Then, he seemed
almost too we'll acquainted with
Macedonian local affairs, and asked
many curious questions a newspaper
man would not be likely to think Of
So Sarafoff deliberately misinformed
him on many points.
At last the stranger rose and reach
ed out his hand. Sarafoff merely
bowed. then said
''Adieu, Mr.. Bordin. I hope we
shall meet again-not here, but in
Macedonia"
The mans eyes and mouth opened
in establishment Then he smiled,
bowed low, and answered:
mot likely, Mr.. Sarafoff. That Is too
dangerous a business"
OF course the interview never ap-
peared in the Paris Matin.
