Now the question arises whether u man like Alan O. Mason has any le dtei.s for the enor or Justice which locks him up mid spicads odium over his nniiic for a despicable crime which It Is iifterwiuds discovered he knew nothing whatever about.

It took four yenia In ptlsou and a good deal of money to clear young Molluetix of the suspicion of minder, and chiefly because he had sowed wild o.its. It I.s a dangetous and an un profitable ci op. Fiom the sentiment of his Xew Yoik bietheni Hon. David 13. Hill Is a tillle uncertain ns to whether he is a Jonnh or a scapegoat. The fact that sentimental women full ed to come forwaul with bouquets for Mollucux has always lalsed a doubt of his guilt. Roosevelt's Chamber of Commence speech boiled down: More power to the Golden little. The barbarians of the Colombian gov ernment seem disposed to live up to their leputatlon.
