punish the pirates Of Algiers, and
Commodore Stephen Decatur was

rian frigate Mashouda, forty-six
guns. the flagship OF Admiral Rails
+ Hammeday. On June s. DccA-.

the United States 1t was stipu-
lated that this country should
never pay tribute to the Dey for
the protection OF American COM
merce from pirates and that all
Christian captives should be re-
leased.
This treaty and the demands OF
Decatur gave the death blow TO q
cruel system of piracy which. for
centuries had elevated the Barbary
powers into baneful prominence.

A Chance for Henry Ford

William Bradley, who was paroled
NJ onday by the state board OF par
dons, one of the best mechanics in
the railroad shops at Sparks, prior
to getting into trouble which result
ed n his being sent to the state pris-
on tor term of years. The offense
for which he was convicted was not
OF very serious nature, he having
in drunken stupor given check
for $40 and no money in the bank to
pay it. However, he plead guilty
and was sentenced. There are many
such cases as his and very few ever
see the inside of prison walls.
Bradley has been All exemplary
prinsoner, and that has told in his
favor, he has a wife who is now in
Kentucky and he no doubt will join
her. He personally appeared befo-e
the commission and told his sto-y
with the result that he was paroled
with permission to leave the state. 1t
is the intention OF Governor Boyle
to interest himself in Bradley's be
lralf and to call the attention OF
Henry Ford, the automobile mag.
nate, to the case and ask him to pro-
vide position for him. Mr.. Ford
has published to the world that he
will give employment to 10000 dis
charged prisoners who are anxious
and willing to work, and the govern
or says here is chance for Mr..
Ford to make good on his promises,
and proposes to do all he can for
Bradley to assist him in obtaining
employment with the Ford automo-
bile company.
