the Columbian exposition the entire
automobile output of the country, one
car, was contained in one small
obscure corner of one building. When
the automobile manufacturers of 1907

had to rent not only Madison Square

the makers who rest upon the Selden

est armories in town to hold the over

ExEMPLIFIED AGAIN.

That truth is sometimes stranger
than fiction was again demonstrated
by an incident on the streets of Mos
COW a few days ago, which brought to
light some strange happenings. A
smart landau, drawn by a fine team
of horses, drew up to a restaurant.
The occupants, a handsome officer
and his wife, stepped out, and at
that moment a little beggar girl, tat
tered and torn, extended her hand
with a piteous appeal for aid. The
lady fumbled around in her pocket
book, drew out a coin, and was about
to hand it to the beggar, but upon
catching sight of the girls face, she
uttered a scream and, rushing for
ward, threw her arms around her
neck and began hugging and kissing
her. After this the officer, his wife
and the little tattered and torn beg
gar girl drove away. The following
explanation of the scene was obtained
later:

officer was in command of regiment,

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

While everything will be peaceful in
Kansas tomorrow, there Will be
elections in a number of states, and
coming just before a presidential
year, the outcome will be awaited
with interest.
Massachusetts will elect a governor
and a state ticket as usual. Massa-
chusetts has the election habit. 1t
elects state officers every year. AL
though it occasionally goes Democrat
ic on governor, the Republicans will
carry it easily this year because the
Democrats are fighting among them
selves over dishonest party methods.
Mississippi, on the other hand, will
elect Democratic governor as usual.
Governors will also be elected in
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maryland
and Kentucky, and in each state the
result is somewhat in doubt.
New York city will choose a few
local officers, but the financial trou-
bles have overshadowed the campaign
there and comparatively little, has
been said about it. Really hot cam
paigns, however, are in progress In
two cities, Cleveland and San Fran
cisco. In Cleveland it is the contest
between Tom Johnson and Congress-
man Burton. a contest that is attract
ing national attention. Johnson is
running for mayor for the fourth time
on his three-cent car fare platform.
Congressman Burton is running against
him as the Republican candidate at
the request of the local party leaders
and upon the advice of President
Roosevelt and Secretaries Taft and
Garfield. 1t is said that the chances
favor Johnson's reelection.
In San Francisco the issue is large
graft and anti-graft. There is much
confusion of issues, but the good gov
eminent people are generally support
ing DR.. Taylor for mayor, the man
who was selected to succeed Schmitz.
The labor union agitators who elect
ed Schmitz are again trying to con-
troll politics and are running one of
their number named Mccarthy for
mayor. The Republicans have a par
ty candidate, but it is conceded that
he has not any show, and the battle
is between Mccarthy and Taylor. 1t
is question whether the labor union
politicians can hold the union MEM
bers in line for Mccarthy, who is I'M
derstood to be supported by the graft
element-and that in itself is ex-
eeedingly strong. The grafters are
also making a strong attempt to de-
feat the reelection of District Attor-
ney Langdon, under whom Heney is
working. If Langdon is defeated 1t
probably means the end of the vigor-
Gus prosecution of the big grafters in
San Francisco.

THE PARDON OF DALTON.

It was an eminently proper action
that Governor Hoch took Saturday ev-
ening when he pardoned Emmett Dali
ton from the penitentiary, and it is an
action that will doubtless be approved
by the great majority of those who are
we'll acquainted with the facts in the
case.
At the time of the CoffeyviIle raid
Dalton was boy of 10. He was in bad
company, just as many another boy
frequently is. He was not personally
guilty of murder in that raid. for he
did not fire a shot, but the fact that
he was with the raiders, the rest of
whom were killed, was sufficient to
convict him. He has been in the peni-
Tertiary over fifteen years.
AS has been observed in these COL
umns, Dalton has so conducted him.
self during the time that he has been
out on parole that he has won the re-
spect of those with whom he has come
in contact. Hard though it was, in the
absence of Governor Hoch from the
state, he returned to Lansing last week,
supposing his parole was technically
about to expire, although the officials
had understood that he had several
days longer. Many a man would have
taken advantage Of this understanding,
but Dalton did not.
The State Journal does not believe in
the indiscriminate use of the pardon
ing power, but it believes Governor
Hoch used 1t wisely in the release of
Emmett Dalton. In view of all the evil
dence of reformation which Dalton
gives, Is years imprisonment seems
sufficient punishment for his minor
part In the Coffeyville raid, and his par
don is not only a matter of justice to
him, but it will serve as an incentive
to reformation to other wrongdoers.

operations. When the fight of the
Russian soldiers began they were fol-
lowed by bands of rowing bandits,
who burned and looted everything
they they could lay their hands on. In
the panic which followed the disor-
derby retreat, the officers daughter,
very young girl, was lost.
A few days later a detachment OF
Russian soldiers put the bandits to
flight and regained much of the plum
dered goods, and among other things
they found the little girl, whom they
took along with them. One of the
soldiers took great fancy to her, and
when he was wounded and sent to re-
cuperate at Moscow, she went with
him.
In Moscow the man died and the
little girl was left alone to wander the
streets and live on the pittances she
could beg. Good fortune led her to
the streets where her parents were
driving, and thus the family was
united.
