gled with the strident ringing of car

Abruptly a big black automobile like
a giant tarantIla slid up to the curb

stopped. A man jumped out and ex-
tended his hand to the young woman
who had risen to follow. There was
something instantly familiar about the

way his gray alpine was drawn down
over his eyes.

man was standing at little distance,

When Politics Ruins Men.

When Governor Wilson of Kentucky
issued his order last week pardon
ing Taylor, Finley and others under
Indictment and implicated in the foul
murder of Governor Goebel there sat
Henry Youtsey crouching in the cor
ner of his cell in the state prison at
Frankfort. He is serving time for
the Goebel murder. He feels that he
is. done an injustice in being held
and severely punished while others
who have been implicated and who
fed the state to be protected else
where against extradition have en-.
joyed their freedom.
AS to the fairness of this entire
case, with all its complications, vol
umes have been written and doubts
still linger in the minds of many that
it was wrong for the state of Indiana
to protect men against extradition
when the courts of their state where
the crime was committed demanded
their surrender.
They say the courts of Kentucky
would not have given them a fail
trial. 1t would have been far more
honorable to have trusted the courts
than to trust those. politicians who
have posed as judges of the courts

Petty Larceny.

In this era of political grating and
official corruption it is quite refresh
ing to read of some town where such
official crookedness is at low tide.
Judging from a story that made its
way into the papers the other day,
Stamford, Conn.,, much be such model
town. A member of the common coun.
Gil, who had been elected on the re-
form ticket, was arrested for stealing
milk left in front of stores.
How refreshing that sounds. Official
grating must indeed be an unknown
offense in that fortunate town, if mem.
bers of the common council have to
resort to stealing bottles of milk. just
imagine New York alderman doing
such thing!
