THE IRREGULARITIES OF yUsTfCE

THE PEC1LTARITIES OF JUSTICE.
On yesterday young woman, named
Ellen Kelly, was removed from the city
hospital, where she has been lying ill under
surveillance, to the county Jail. She re-
Gently became an Legitimate mother,
and either through ignorance or
design, her offspring was killed.
She is accordingly incarcerated upon the
charge of infanticide, and being poor and
comparatively friendless she is likely to
suffer the full penalty of the law in such
| cases kindly made and provided.
In the meantime her destroyer and
worse than murderer goes free, with
naught to modest or make hin afraid
He neither has to fee or conceal himself.
He is resident of Scott county, whose
| name and location are we'll known, but
the law has no terrcrs for him. The laws
| against crime are carefully constructed to
| infict the most condign punishment upon
the erring woman, while her destroyer is
sedulously protected from all legal harm.
| We read about "relics of barbarism"
| clinging to civilized communities, and
churches and politicians rise up to stamp
| them out, but here is law, which exists il
every state in the Union, which perpetratss
this gross injustice. The authorities,
| who are sworn to execute the law, would be
regarded derelict if they did not apply
the statute to the unfortunate Ellen Kelly,
but it is burning shame that their pros
ecution must end with her punishment. 1t
is time that men and women should be
placed upon the same platform In the eye
of the law and the man should suffer the
severer punishment of the
two. It is shame that a
Christian community should invoke
the powerful machinery of the law to crush
out the little remaining life of poor and
erring glrl, while the destroyer of her
more than life walks the streets unmolest-
ed. If Ellen Kelly had put pistol ball
through the heart of her destroyer,
a chivalrous jury would quite
likely have acquitted her on
the standard plea of emotional insanity
but as she bore her sorrow without at
tempting to avenge her wrongs, and sought
to conceal her shame by an illegal act, she
must suffer.
The beasted civilization of the Nine
tssnth Century will be a mockery, so long
as the statute books do not provide for
the adequate punishment of the male as
we'll as the female offender.

CURRENT COMMENT.

SCHOOL book wer is raging in Cleveland,
Ohio. The books used in the schools, are for
the most part the series published by Van Ant
werp, Bragg & Co., of Cincinnati, firm which
have for some years to a large extent monopo-
lized the school book business of Ohio. A
moity of the text books used at Cleveland are
those published by the Appletons. Between
Van Antwerp, Bragg i Co., and Harper &
Brothers of New York, represented in Ohio by
FL. W. Derby q Co., of Columbus, bitter hos
tility and contention has existed for years. They
have fought each other in every school district
in the state, fought their battles in the legisla
ture. but on the whole the resident publishing
firm have had the best of it. The proposition
of the Harpers is to supply the schools of Cleve-
land with text books from fifty to si1ty-fve per
cent less than is beng paid for the Cincinnati
books, and further, the Harpers propose to pay
to the board of education the sum of $4,000 for
the privilege of supplying the schools for the
legal term for which books must be
adopted in Ohio, that is three years. The
Harper books are fully the equals, and in some
RESPECTS, superior to the Cincinnati books, 81
that the proposition is one that is of public in
terest, and especially as the publishers propose
to donate direct and publicly to the school fund
$4,000, instead of paying private fee to MEM
bers of the board of education for favorable
votes. Certain members of the Cleveland board
are showing hostility to the Harper proposition,
and there are those who profess to think that an
influence, termed private profit has the tendency
to blind them to the public good. AS rule the
purchasers of school books are called upon to
pay too much for them. School book publish
ers roll in wealth, live in palaces, and able to
expend vast sums to force their wares upon the
public. In a single year a school book
house spent 100000 il the
state of Wisconsin, and at the
end were defeated. and fair inference is that
the successful party spent trife more.
Things have come to such pass that school
books are almost never adopted upon their
merits but through sentiment created, (too
often by purchase) among those who have the
power to say what books shall be used and
what rejected. 1t is only in states like Mime
sofa where the books are furnished absolutely
under contract with the state that the conten-
lions of book agents awarded.

LONDON, Dec. o. notwithstanding the
denial this week at the war Office of the
report that additional British troops would
be sent to Egypt, preparations are being
made in that department of the govern
ment for the despatch of forces to that
country. Gen. Stephenson and Gen. Sir
Evelyn Wood have decided to send warn
ings to the government that the Egyptian
forces at the disposal of the khedive are
insufficient to relieve Khartoum or to
march On Berlin. Lord Dufferin, British
ambassador at Constantinople, has been
in communication with the porte touch
ing the advisability of q scheme to recruit
the Egyptian army by the enlistment of
Albanisns and Circassians. The sultan is
unwilling to grant his formal sanction to
the plan, but urges instead the e1pediency
of sending British contingent to Egypt
at the expense of the Egyptian treasury,
the money to be supplied from loan ad-
vanced by England. In the event of fail
ure the sultan will give permission to the
scheme proposed by Lord Doffsrin. 1t will
be impossible to comply with Sir Evelyn
Woods demand that tbs army be strength

a Great Historians Method of Working.

Into Mr.. Parkman's literary work
shop one is not allowed to enter, but
Mr.. Prescott's intellectual laboratory
has been opened to the public by his
friend and biographer. Mr.. George
Ticknor, and he is, perhaps, the only
modern historian whose methods of
work had been made known before the
autobiography of Sir Archibald Alison
appeared aud the historian of modern
Europe has told the world how this
work grew into form and comeliness
under his hand.
Some points between these two writ
ers are worth bringing out, and DR..
Prescott shall be first upon the witness
stand. Prescott and Alison were in al
most equal circumstances, so far as po-
sition goes. Each deliberately chose a
literary life, and while the one had in
trinity of sight, and was limited in his
hours of work, the other was obliged to
serve as Sheriff of Lanarkshire in order
that he might increase his daily income.
Prescott laid out ''course of studies"
III October 1921, which involved "a
principles of grammar, correct writing;
(2) compendious history OF North Am
erica; 60 fine prose writers of English,
from Roger Ascham to the present day;

French and Italian literature followed,
but German he was not able to master,
choosing Spanish in its place; and here
he struck the field in which he was to

his diary: 81 subscribe to the history of

over volumes as musty as himself. At
one time he was rich, but went security
for friend and lost everything. A
lawsuit to which he was a party was
compromised by his acceptance of an
annuity of 80 a week, and on that pit
lance he had lived for many years, and
actually saved 500 to be buried with.
He was greatly averse to notoriety, and
once expressed the wish that he might
dry up and blow away" and thus save
his poor body from the morbid curiosity
which he well knew his death would
kindle. He refused to go to a comfort
able bed in hospital, and died on the
heap of rags on which he had long
slept.

Skin-Grafting in Paris,

The Paris papers contain de-
tailed accounts of the really remark
able operation of skin-grafting per-
formed by M. Lamalleree of that city,
in which case gratis were employed OBJ
tanned from two different sources, hui
man being and rabbit-those from the
latter eyincing superior amount of Vi
tally. In this case, the patient, a man
81 years old, has suffered for six years
from a varicose ulcer of the left thigh,
which resisted every form of treatment;
the ulcer was fourteen centimeters long
and eight deep. At the request of the
patient, Dr.Lamalleree resorted to skim
grating. procuring for the purpose six
gratis from the shaven abdomen of a
rabbit and two from the forearm of q
man. These having been placed in a
position, Lister dressing was applied;
after the lapse of eight days this was
removed, and it was found that those
furnished by the rabbit had become adj
herent and that new skin was forming
rapidly in their immediate neighbor-
hood while, on the other hand, the two
human pieces had not adhered. The
dressing was continued eight days long
er, and when removed an islet of skin,
ten centimeters long and seven wide,
was seen to have established itself upon
the center of the ulcer. The dressing
was again reapplied and maintained in
place for eight days, at the completion
of which it was taken off and the sore
was found completely cicatrized. Two
months later the healing was progress
ing sfavorably, the newly-formed skin
showing no trace of its origin.

4 Woman-Tamers Experience with q
Hnmelv Girl


Mr.. Tibbitts. after long experience
as woman-tamer, determined to at
tach himself only to the homeliest and
most ill-favored waiter-girls he could
! find in the beer-halls of Holland. He
did this in Amsterdam, and was happy
in entirely monopolizing one of the
most homely in the entire kingdom
He was very happy with her, or seemed
to be.
But his blissful experience came to a
sudden end He was discussing with
his friends the advantage of homely girls
who were entirely devoted to you, over
those of more personal beauty, who,
because of their beauty, put heavier
value upon themselves.
This girl" said Mr.. Tibbitts, sis en-
tirely devoted to me. deliberately Sc
lected her from this bevy of beauties
and she is so grateful for it that she
would not object to anything might
entire absorption in me, that she would
make no sign. She would suffer in sill
ence and live on hope till the effect had
worn off.
Then, to Illustrate the complete SUBJ
mission to which he had reduced the
girl. he asked her for another glass of
beer. The girl started for it with alac-
rity born of love, upon which Mr.. lib
bits winked at another girl, very
pretty one, who came to him promptly.
The young woman-tamer took the
pretty girls hand in his, and was toy
ing with it when the original appeared
with the beer. The homely girl looked
at Mr.. Tibbitts then at the pretty girl,
then observing where her hand was,
and where Mr.. Tibbitts's hand was, ut
tered true womanly hiss, and the
heavy mug described circle in the air
and descended upon Tibbitts's head,
the beer flowing down his shoulders and
over his coat and vest. The girl, know
ing that she had committed an unpar-
donable sin, tore off her little leathern
bag, made a hasty exit from the place
and was seen no more.
And then Mr.. Tibbitts, after few
moments of apparently deep thought,
remarked that at last he had found his
mission. Il shall" said he, picking
bits of glass from his hair, and wiping
beer from his coat, compile book
from my own experience for the use tof
young men who may come after me,
which | shall christen "The Damfoors
Guide Through a Cold and Unfeeling
World The following will be the first
two entries:
First. A lovely girl entirely devoted
to you will stand anything from you,
except fooling with another girl.
Second. Never believe that you
have full control of any woman. They
are extremely impulsive and very illog-
zeal, ano whenever they have in their
hands beer glass, rolling-pin, boot
jack or other offensive weapon, be care
full to conduct yourself with great pro-
priety when they are within hearing,
seeing, or feeling distance.
Il shall continue to add to this book
as time rolls on, which it will. If l live
to be eighty it will be of inestimable val
ne, for if the young fellows of the next
generation avoid what shall doubtless
pass through, they will live very smooth
and even lives" -Toledo Blade. 4,
