consider The facts Of the case are romantic,
ard yet it is the same old story. -Four months
ago Miss Bayiss, the daughter OF wealthy
horse dealer in Denison, went to dancing
school, and there became acquainted with a
young man with good personal appearance
and pleasant manners. Henry Burke. The
acquaintance ripened into love. They met
frequently and walked out without parental
hindrance. From Mr.. Bayliss' evidence, it
would appear the parents were ignorant of the
acquaintance. Recently Miss Bayliss and
Burke, Miss Mabel Moore and Mr.. Hughes,
friends of Miss Bayliss, went to Sherman.
The young ladies were, it is said
debauched, and returned home in state of
standardization. The neiehbors then talked.
Miss Bayliss mother heard of it, and Spoke
to her, on the subject Soon after Miss Bay
liss suicided, whether remorse for her sin, or
annoyance at the neighbors' talk, was the
cause Of this is not determined. Burke is now
in Jail Tor rape, and lynchng has been threat
ened. Miss Mabel Moore, after a silly at
tempt at suicide, skipped and Hughes fol-
lowed her example. But is there no one else
to bameY Melancholy though the reflection
be, have not the parents in someway con-
duced to this sad result? What charge was
kept over Miss Bayless that she could go TO
dancing school, there make an acquaintance,
walk out with him, and then pay the visit to
Sherman unchallenged but by the neighbors,
talk. The fact is the .Baylses' did, as many
have done, and are still doing TO their own
cost. They allowed their daughter too much
liberty. This is the mistake. What
occurred at Denison could as well occur here
and those parents who value their daughters
honor will do well to watch carefully that their
daughters are not lead into temptation. This
is the lesson taught by this episode. 1t also
teaches that young ladies should he careful of
their male acquaintance. One word in re-
gard to Burke: He is made the
scapegoat OF public indignation and
threats are made to lynch him
Even some papers approve of his lynch
ing. Two wrongs will never make a right.
If he had offended against the law, let him
answer the law, but let him at least have fair
trial. We have no word to offer for or against
him as regards his guilt. All men are inno-
cent before the laws until proven guilty. He
is charged with having deliberately plotted the
ruin of Miss Bayliss. This may or may not
be the case. One thing is quite clear. There
is nothing 10 prove that the disastrous affair
was the result of deliberation. 1t may have
been the result of various circumstances which
have placed him in temptation under which
wiser and better men have fallen. In any case
let the accused have justice.
