So says the time-worn adage And— 4 Its truth fs {ilustrated in inumerable cases, But— , In the case of the murder of the young girl In Connecticut in twhich the negro, Lero: nfessed having a knowledge of in an in- terview with Nan Byxbee, The Star's court house reporter— The truth took a long time in coming to light! Just think of it! For 18 years an innocent man has been paying the penalty of an- @ther’s awful crime For 18 long, weary years, this man, as innocent as you or I, has Spent his time between his narrow, dark cell and the prison shops, And all this time the girl's murderer walked about in the pure, free open air. After all these years a negro prisoner in the King county jail confenses, through the pleadings of a reporter, to his connection with the deed. The innocent man in the Comnecticut penitentiary will doubtless _ Be speedily liberated. . But— What good will it do him? The blessed sunlight of freedom will blind his eyes, grown bat- @ike in the shadows of the gray prison walls. | His friends of nearly a score years ago will have drifted to parts “unknown or will have diced. F He will be an old man! What will he do? Without doubt that innocent man, who has spent the best part of ‘Mis life in prison will want to come back to his only home to spend ; Aais dectining days. Is this not a pathetic case? And yet— What preparation has this much abused man? . NONE! Korea's Plea for Life In the midst of pence preparations Between Japan and Russia Mttlé Korea ts getting rendy to present her claims as an independent country and to appeal to the United States for moral sympathy saa support. China's demand that no disposition be made of Manchuria with- | Gut China's consent is being recognized by the impartial world as | Tegitimate anf fair. Will the benevolent powers lend the same _ ‘Moral support to little Korea? Will the high tribunal of international justice permit Japan and ‘Russia to make peace terms involving a division between them of territory that never belonged to cither? Korea is now, through the fortunes of war, practically ander Jap- gnese protection, and no one except the Tokyo government and its ‘peace envoys knows what Japan Inteds to propose to Russia with ref- Bis. prunes to that kingdom. The envoys say, however, that they will _ *j@emand as the price of peace far more than Japan claimed at the 4 ning of the war. It im interesting at this juncture to turn to the statement which . issued to the world on February 8, 1904, twenty-four hours |. Sifter her declaration of war, and sumarizing the futile negotiations /) with Russia. With reference to Korea, Japan had demanded of Russia: 4 “A MUTUAL ENGAGEMENT TO RESPECT HER INDEPEND- ENCE AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY.” Throughout the diplomatic negotiations that preceded the rup- ture Japan persistently protested against Russian occupation of Man- churia as a threat against Korean independence. The integrity of Korea was one of Japan's chief contentions, directly and indirectly, _ from first to last. an Much has happened since, and Korea has passed wholly under Japanese control and “moral” suzerainty. Korea's right to inde pendence may look diferent to Japan now. But does it look any diferent to the !mpartial world? If Korea appeals to the United States to save her from being sacrificed in a ‘war that is not her own and from which sho has already incalcul- ably suffered, will the appeal to this liberty-loving and fair-minded republic be in vain? ns d A Philadelphia doctor has discovered that to be bitten by a tarantula is a epecific against nervousness.
