Governor Hanly Saturday morning
announced that he would not grant
either a parole or pardon to David
E. Sherrick, the former state auditor
who has begun serving sentence in
the Northern Prison.
The announcement was apropos the

Slierrick is guilty of embezzleme al
and should pay the penalty OF his
guilt He says further that Sherfick
gambled while serving as auditor oi

Judge Alton B. Parker, late Dem
ocrstic candidate for the presidency,
testiiies to his belief that even in
New York city it would be impossible
to draw grand jury which would
not indict for serious crimes. and
further that no man indicted could
escape conviction before any trial
jury in the other counties of the State
if fairly proved guilty In other words
Judge Parker testifes to his belief
in the general honesty of the leople.
In this he is quite right. With all
the recent disclosures of graft and
corruption in high places and low
.here has been no sign anywhere that
these things are looked on with COM
placency or approval by the public
On the contrary the indignation
reused through the. turning on of

A lost missionary and a phenome-
nal feat of newspaper enterprise in
finding him have led within a genera
tion to letting food of light into the
dark continent" of Africa, revealing
potentialities before un6reamed OF
and tempting the vanguards of colon
ization, industrial development and
frequency of depreciation from many
countries, says the Boston Transcript.
Some of the greatest engineering
feats of modern times or of any time
have been achieved in that great ter
ritory. Spheres of influence and Gen.
ters of exploitation have been estab-
lished, and from them there are work
ing outward and onward the forces of
so-called civilization. Doubtless
these movements have been and are
being in many cases disgraced by
greed and marked by cruelty and in-
justice nevertheless they appear to
be along the lines that destiny has
so often followed in reaching for
higher results.
Perhaps the most interesting public
work in the scheme of opening up the
continent to commerce and civilized
industry is the Cape to Cairo railroad
which will, upon completion, connect
Egypt with South Africa by a line
$500 miles in length, or perhaps the
longest in the world, unless it may be
the Siberian railway. There has been
considerable progress made on this
Longitudinal highway. About 1,4oC
miles have been built from the north
and shorter stretches at intervals
some of which are in limited opera
ton. All this has been brought con-
spicuously into public notice by the
recent completion of the bridge over
the Zambesi river and the passage ol
the first engine across it.

She stated that her husband sent

pondence ceased then, she claimed
and she was left to support herself.
Receiving an anonymous letter
few days ago, stating that her hus-
band was not true to her she came
to Kokomo Tuesday morning.
AS soon as Prosecutor Voorhis
heard the woman's story he called
the attention of the grand jury to the
matter and the arrests of the man
and woman with whom it is alleged
he was living, was ordered.
The true name of Miss Mckinley
is not known, but she admitted that
it was Ethel Mckinley" Friends

Marion and are highly respected.
Miss Mckinley came to this city last
June.
Miss Mckinley, who is pretty

Excellent School Entertainment.

There was school exhibition at the
Wilderness school, one mile south OF
Plymouth Thursday evening, which
was pronounced by all present as one
of the best they ever attended.
Henry w. White was the teacher
and he had the cooperation of every
body in the district in making a good
school, consequently everybody in
the vicinity says it was one of the
best schools ever taught anywhere
The entertainment consisted of rec
itations, dialogues, tableaux, music
and for almost two hours furnished a
feast of enjoyment for a crowded
house. Some of the best judges say il
was equal to the best theatrical enter
tainment ever given in this city.
Mr.. White and his pupils are con.
graduated for their success and their
excellent work in school.

it is expected that there will be many
teachers and superintendents in the

Cotton meets this argument in cir

three reasons why he should be re-

1. My special preparation for the
duties of the Office and my record
in the Office during the last three
years.
