MANY reputable people will ques-
ton the logic OF the Chicago Herald
in its comment upon the killing OF
Archibald I McKillip by Calvin f.
Keatley. II the same line OF reason
ing be followed to its legitimate con-
c.usion, the wrongs OF Keatley's'
daughter would never have. been ex-
plated by the legal punishment OF
McKillip, for to secure such punish
ishment in the courts wouldr have
given the matter no less Of publicity
than did the tragic denouement.
The Herald says at ia. not, worth
while to moralize upon, the killing OF
Archibald McKiflip by Calvin f.
Keatley. Public opinion always has
justified and probably always will
justify homicides of this kind-cov-
ertly II not openly. From common
sense rather than sentimental
standpoint, however, Keatley has
done the very thing that he should
not have done. He has made a pub
lie scandal of family disgrace that
would otherwise have been forgotten
soon IL it had ever become Known at
all. He has pilloried the young wom-
an whom he. sought to avenge, he
has Notwithstanding and shame upon
those dearest to him and trouble and
expense upon himself. In this as in
all similar cases murder is almistake,
not alone morally but from the low
standpoint of expediency." True, as
to the murder. But in its squeamish
terror Of publicity would the Herald
have foregone all measures against
McKillip, leaving the despicable
skunk to practice his lechery unhin-
darpdo

NEW York has often been ridiculed
for the anglomaniac tendencies that
have developed there, and the re-
proach Is justified by the absurd go
ings on of the sv-called society people
OF that town. But there is one mat
ter in which New York initiates En-
gland entirely to her credit When
lawbreaker faces the courts of that
city he is pretty sure to get the pun
ishment he deserves. Wealth, in
fluence, political pull" do not avail
him. Justice is melted out in true
English fashion to- the millionaire
and the dock laborer alike.N This Is
virtue that atotics for many defects
New York's police are corrupt, her
methods are provincial and her peo-
pie narrow-nlinded, but her courts
set an example that might well be
followed by more enlightened COM
munities, and Chicago is one of them.

A brave FeIIow.Workman..

LAST summer A. man in my en-
ploy exhibited an; act of presence Of
mind and self.control that might
well be compared to the deeds of
daring on the fields OF BATTLE" re-
marked John l.. Nevins, a New York
contractor, who was at the Lindell
recently, says the St Louis Globe.
Democrat. Two workmen were en-
gagged in repairing the lightning-rod
on the steeple of church. To ac-
complish this somewhat difficult and
dangerous task 1t had became nee
essary for one of the workman to
stand on the shoulders of his COM
panion.
aWhile In Nhis position sudden
gust OF wind caused him to spill a
quantity of molten lead, which fell
on the hand and arm OF his friend.
Notwithstanding the sudden and i'm
tense pain the brave man never
fiinched, and had the courage to re-
main motionless while the lead
burned its way into the flesh. He
knew that movement OF his was
liable to precipitate his companion
from the dizzy height into the street
below, and he endured the pain rath-
or than risk the life Of his fellow
worker"

WE are glad to see several of our
esteemed contemporaries condemning
the bicycle stoop"-that absurd, un.
healthful and hideous practice where.
by large proportion of bicycle riders
convert themselves into hunchbacks
Swhen riding their machines. The
general reprobation of this detestable
habit ought to bring about the re.
formation which is SO urgently
needed. There neveranas been any
justification whatever for. the stoop.
shouldered bicyclist on the public
highways. The only time when it is
permissible for bicycle rider to con-
vert himself into an unsightly in.
terrogation point is when he is en-
gagged in hot race on the track and
needs to utilize every particle of
muscular force at his command.
Under such circumstances the
practice may be excused, although it
can mover be healthful or graceful.
But it is as senseless for a free and
independent American citizen out
for a pleasure, spin on a wheel to
adopt the awkward racing seat, as it
would be for a horseback rider out
for canter to appear in the habili-
ments and attitude of professional
jockey. If our enthusiastic wheel
men do not care for their health they
should be taught by universal
ridicule, to sit up straight and cease
perverting themselves into carl
catures of humanity. The attitude
OF young man on bicycle, sitting
erect, with handle bar well raised
and maintaining perfect control Of
his machine, is that Of gentleman.
The same rider, with handle bar
dropped, backbone curved and nose
In apparent danger OF abrasion from
the tire Of his front wheel, bears a
striking resemblance to q monkey
astride stick. Self-respecting and
intelligent young Americans can't
afford to initiate monkeys.

WHEN an author intrusts to pub
Usher work upon which the pub
Usher is to pay the author royalty
the author incurs risk of complete
loss Of his property. The publisher
may dispose of the copyright as he
pleases without securing the author
in any manner against extinction Of
the royalty. According to decision
just given In the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals, New York. the
original owner OF copyright cannot
restrain the sale of copy of a copy
right book, the title of which he has
transferred, even IL the sale be In
violation Of an agreement entered
into between the first owner OF the
copyright aud the purchaser. This
merely atfirms as legal highway
man practice which has prevailed
wherever booksellers or publishers de-
sired touseit for their own benefit.
Authors have the sole resortsof be-
corning their own publishers. An
authors association in ENGLAND has
already assumed large proportions,
and an authors publishing society in
the United States, with headquarters
in Chicago, promises to be equally

ABOUT once year some one hobs
up with a new design for postage
stamp. This time it is Washing
ton newspaper man who comes to the
front with suggestion that the ma
tional flag would be patriotic and
appropriate blazon. He says there
are out-of-the-way parts of the coun-
try where people may be found who
have never seen the flag and have no
idea what it looks like, and he would
remedy this state of affairs by having
every letter carry the stars and
stripes. 1t may be doubted whether
people so benighted that they have
never seen the American flag would
ever receive letters, or IL they did
that they would have any idea what
the. stamp represented. But any
thing that promises a change from
the present inartistic stamp designs
should be welcomed, and the flag idea
is perhaps as good. as any.

AN Ohio militia captain and his
company came upon body Of un-
armed Huns, Poles, and Italian
strikers, laid aside their guns, and
licked them with their fists. This
recalls the story Of the sentinel who,
posted on precipitous outlook, was
suddenly confronted by Confederate
who had quietly climbed up the pie
cipitous side of the rock. The old
German dropped his gun and grap-
pied with his enemy, and after a
rough and tumble struggle, threw
him over the precipice. Asked why
he didn't shoot his man, the old fell
low said: ut makes too much noise,
and maybe he feel worse now than il
he had been shot"
