Pardons Refused by
' Acting Governor to
; Royal D. Nichols
Liiicoln.Nov. 8. (Special) The
recommendation of the department
of pubtfc -welfare for the discharge
of John Ijlliott, former cashier of
a bank It Decatur in Burt county,
from the penitentiary -was turned
down by Acting Governor Barrows.
Elliott wa.s found guilty of em
bezzlement as "cashier of the bank
and given a sentence of one to seven
yvs. He was received at the peni
tentiary May '28, 1918, and, after
serving 10 months with good time
allowance, was paroled on March
21, 1919. He Is understood-to be
working in a real estate office in
Omaha, where his family has resided
A since Jus sentence
As a result of the financial diffi
culties of the bank, the state guar
anty fund was 'compelled to put up
$79,000 to cover up the deficiency.
The acting, governor also turned
down the application of Royal D.
Nichols, sentenced from Omaha for
criminal assault Drown was given
an indeterminate sentence and after
serving the minimum was paroled.
His parole has expired and tho de
partment of public welfare has re
commended a discharge, which Act
ing Governor Barrows refused to
approve, giving as his reasons, that
a man convicted of thiscrinie should
serve his full sentence, and that
especiaWy at this time, following the"
experience of Omaha in the burning
of its court house "by a mob which
was trying to lynch a- man charged
with a similar crime, would be a
poor time to show leniency to a man
chargtd with that offense.

It Come 8 Frqm (Ac Ability to Out Ptrferm Other and inthe
Knowledge That it is a Fine Car Even -Though it is Not Large
IS
One thing w can't forget in buying a
lmotor car is the pride of ownership. . ...
The automobile is a pleasure vehicle and
it spoils the fun to be hopelessly out rivaled
by a car that is smallef and cost less to buy.
r . And tor the same reason there is a lot of
satisfaction in having a car that, though it
-Js small and its cost is less, does out-per-'
form all of ,its vclass and has few rivals
v amontf the large, costlier automobiles.
& VTHhat Is Why You Hear
' , So Much of. Essex
Anyone who has ever driven much knows
( that' the greater delight, where speed is
concerned, comes with the ability to best a
rival with extra bursts of .speed. It is the
situations which show, a car's ability to out-
v
i
give
greatest cause '
perform others that
for nride. .V
.. And knowing that the Essex, does excel
most cars, even many that are. larger and
that cost more, tnere is little wonder owners
speak of it as they do. '
Essex Quality Didn't -'
: Just Happen . '
' The Essex performs as it does because it .
is built to the highest type of car standard.
Its sie and price has meant no sacrifice 'in
quality,, durability or comfort. '
Every construction detail is comparable
to one of the world's most famous, fine car;.
v That is why the Essex is' so speedy, so
nimble and so enduring.' It is why everyone'
knows it as an utterly different car than
has ever been offered. As well attempt to
judge the capacity of a- man's brains by the.
size of his hat, as" to determine what the
Essex can "do merely by its type or size . ,
.and the fact that it sells for only a little
more than .other cars whose limitations you
recognize.
Note the Advantages
of Sucha Car . . '
The Essex is not a large car, neither is it
tiny. No space is wasted. No' extra weight
ft used. Neither passengers ordriyer are
crowded. They have'plenty of room on the
seats and for their legs.' The size of the
Essex gives it many advantages, including
moderate cost and operating economy. And -think
how much more convenient to drive.
It slips through traffic that a larger car can .'
not negotiate. It can be parked in space '
that others can not squeeze into. It turns
in a short radius. ;
So Don't Forget
This Fact
' - ' , ,
The Essex in every particular, save in
price" and weight, is comparable to cars
that cost much more. ' And it possesses the
further advantage in .economy that comes ,
from its lighter weight.
. Remember, 18,000 owners are telling of
more good qualities about if than any Essex
salens man can tell you. Essex owners will
advise you to -buy an Essex in either the
f ivo passenger touring-, the sedan or the
roadster models. . x -
