The Truth z. Him.
"fou have to tell the truth 70 IN

You have to tell the truth TO this
man,
so concluded Zoes Beckley, Y. E. A.
SIAN correspondent, after an hour
with James NJ. Cox.
Later on, she learned of an inciden,
IN CoX's career that served to bear on,
ner own conclusion This is the
story:
Some years ago an Ohio bow was
arrested for numbering his mother. He
was tried and sentenced TO prison 10
await the death penalty.
Agitation on his behalf, however,
was started and, after a long time, a
committee of kind-hearted women
visited Governor Cox with petition
Tor clemency. The lad, they pleaded,
was not guilty. They had dug up new
evidence. The boy himself had con-
Stantly and Stoutly maintained his In
nocence. Even experienced lawyers
had failed to shake his story.
Wouldn't the governor please do some
thing?
The governor did. He sent for the
boy, who started to tell the story OF
his innocence. Cox shut him off.
Nov see here, son, look at me-
straight at me. That's it. Did YOU or
did you not commit this crime ?'
The lad looked, dropped his eyes,
lifted them again to the searching eyes
OF the man opposite, swallowed hard
and answered.
Yes, sir, Mr.. Governor, | did do it,"
and poured out the whole story-the
story the prosecutors, probation Of
tcers, judges, iailers and kind ladies
had Been trying in vain to get.
The boy is not dead. He was given
chance. He is nearly thirty TODAY
and has made good for long time in
a position of trust.
The point is not that the lad was Civ
en- his chance and redeemed himself.
although humane treatment of men
who have gone wrong is one of the big
things Governor Cox has always stood
for
The point is that this is the kind of
man you have to tell the truth to-"
Miss Beckley has found out some
thing about Cox that a lot of people
will want to know.

Queen, you said a chinful,"

An officer of the British army, Mai.
Frederick de T. Craven, would not on
iy increase the kinds and quantity of
game animals IN the United States bur
would add humor to sport. He sug-
gests that the yak be transplanted
from the Himalayas to the Rocky
Mountains, and that river buck, wart
hogs and swamp hogs be brought from
Africa and released in the swamps OF
Mississippi and Louisiana. The water
buffalo Of the Orient he thinks would
also thrive there. He would stock
regions that are now useless with
game animals Of considerable value.
But think of the fun that the newspa-
pers would have with the yak and the
wart hog!
