Nearly everybody is obliged more CT

Fraud Paint

The worst mistake one is likely to
make in painting is wrong paint; it is
easy to make this year when paint is SO
high.
We all say ~'ours is the BEST" and
there are 1000 ofsus. One is best, but
dozen are Sc near on a level that no
one knows, for sure, that his is the one.
The worst paints are worst liars; they
know what they are, put on a bold face,
and brazen it olrt.
Their one true argument is low price;
but low price paint is always, must be,
fraud; it is m ade to cheat cheatable
people.

GaEeN FULL PARDON

Topeka, April Ex-Governor Hodge.
today granted full pardon to Volly L.
Smith, cOnVicJed OF murder in the
second degree twenty-one years age
ia Ottawa county, but who never
served day in the peDitentlary.
Smith was sentenced to the state
prison for thitteen years, but escaped
from The Ottawa county jail while
confined there pending appeal to the
supreme court. After escaping Smith
went to the Pacific coast and entered
the U lifted States navy, He is still in
the service and has risen to the rank
of assistant engineer.
Smith was II years old when con-
Eicted OF murder in the second degree
10 February, 1899, for the death of a
man named Wilson. In substance the
report of the pardon clerk was as fol-
lows:
"Smith had been working with the
man he killed. They we're putting
up ice. Just before the killing, Will
son, 25 years old, struck Smith in the
face. Smith had been handled
roughly. The witnesses evidently
were hostile 10 Smith. When the
shooting occurred, Smith was being
held by man named Ruggles and |
was struggling to get loose. During
this struggle the revolver was dis
charged and Wilson was shot through
the heart.
Smiths contention was that he
drew the revolver to frighten the
men who had assaulted him and that
the firing Of the pistol was accidental.
Smith, however, had made threats
against Wilson and had armed him
'elf. This fact quite properly influ-
snced the jury in discrediting the
statement that the killing was acci-
iental.
1.-THE trial OF the case occurred at a
lime when Populism was rampant in
Kansas and political feeling ran high.
t is said political feeling entered
argely into the trial Of this case. No
fort was ever made to recapture
smith and no reward for his recap
,ure offered. II the authorities Of
ottawa county had cared to rearrest
smith, it seems that they ought not
o have had any difficulty in locating
Iim."
