We have gained some things that

which he had not and which it is \
good thing for every people to have
and to develop. Let us see to it that
we do not lose what is more important

iron sense of duty, his unbending, un-

Letter to Mead.
Honorable Albert E. Mead,
Olympia, Wash.

august IL, 1SUt.
Honorable Albert E. Mead,
Olympia, Wash.
My Dear Governor:
Last week man named Dalton was
sentenced to be hanged on October
18th next for the murder of a police
man in this city. The crime was a
brutal one and the perpetrator of it
deserves little, if any, sympathy, but
if l have been able to analyZe fairly
the testimony in the case, there is at
least a very grave doubt whether the
law, in this instance, has got the right
man.
/ was not present at any time during
the trial, l have never seen the man
and / have never had a word of cont
ference with his attorneys, but as you
know 1 tried to serve the public as
well as l could for a good many years
as prosecuting attorney and you will
understand me when l say that the
taking of human life by judicial pro-
cess is grave matter and if a mistake
is made of taking the life of an inno-
cent person and the public learns of
the fact that a mistake was made, 10
matter how long afterwards, it has
done society an irreparable injury. 1t
makes good citizens afraid of the law
to which all right thinking people
should look for protection.
1t may be that Dalton is guilty of
this crime, if so he deserves little SYM
pathy, but it may be that he is not
guilty and as far as the evidence
against him goes I think the chances
are just about even that he is not
guilty.
Justice May Have Been Blind.
Under these circumstances l ask of
you, as a friend, that you will first
grant him a reprieve, giving him such
reasonable time to clear this matter
up if he possibly can do so, as will be
consistent with your position as gov
ernor
Second, unless the state can make
a better case against him than it has
so far done. that his sentence be COM
muted to life Imprisonment.
Third, that unless the state can
within a reasonable length of time get
better evidence against him than it
has so far done, that he be pardoned
AS before stated 1 am writing this
letter in behalf of a man who ] have
never seen, of whom l know nothing
and concerning whom No friap5 of his
has ever approached me, but merely
as citizen of the state of Washing
ton who fears that justice may have
gone wrong and been a little bit too
blind. Very sincerely yours.
W. C. JONES.

BISHOP MIGRANTS ROMANCE.

soon for the purpose giving to Bruton
Parish in Williamsburg bible which
King Edward OF England has pre-
scented to 1t, Is the possessor of n ro
nance out of the ordinary. The story
is told by the Buffalo Courier in this
manner.
1T was two years ago that the Bis,
hops romance came to 10
Gus, when 1t was announced
that Lady Alvica Duncombe. the
youngest OF the four famous beau
ties, daughters of the Earl of Faver

& Upon the result of today's moct.ng
OF tho board of directors OF the James
town Exposition Company depends. TO

OF the Tcr.centcnninl during tho next
two months. A combination of cir
cumstancos caused the first four

management makes tle most OF Its
eleventh hour opportunities, much may
yet be done for the good name of Vir
ginia and the pockctbooks of the stock
holders, creditors and concesslonaires
of the Exposition.
When the directors gather to re-
ceive and act upon the resignation OF
Director General Barr. they SHOULD
bear In mind how much depends upon
the nature of the press dispatches con-
corning the meeting that will be sent
out all over the country. 1t is to be
hoped that the directors will act solely
for the good of the great enterprise
which they have been entrusted.
Tho greatest care should be observed
in the selection of successor to Mr..
Barr, If the resignation of that gcntlo.
men Is accepted and we trust that n
man will be secured this time who Is
able to cope with the situation In every
particular; 1t man who will devote so
much time to the conduct of business
affairs that he will have no time in
which to become involved In petty
social quarres.
Above all, the directors should see
