The war democrats helped to save

When the national safety and honor are
assailed the democratic party divides,

TIE CODE OF HONOR.
Dueling as It Was In France In the Time
of Richelieu.

The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said. between 1000
and 5000 lives during the 90 years Of
Henry Tvs reign, was at its height
when his son came to tho throne. The
council Of Trent in 1915 had solemnly
condemned the practice Of single COM
bat, impartially including principals.
seconds and spectators in its penalty Of
accommodation. In 1902 an edict Of
Henry pronounced the "damnable GUS
tom of dueling introduced by the cor
ruption Of the century" to be the cause
Of so many piteous accidents, 10 the ex-
IRENE regret and displeasure of the king
and TO the irreparable damage of the
state, THAT we should count ourselves
unwoCthy to hold the scepter if we de-
layed to repress the enormity Of this
crlme.
A whole series Of edicts followed TO
the same effect, but IL was easier to
make edicts than to enforce them. Deg
radiation, imprisonment, confiscation Of
property, loss of civil rights and death
were the penalties attached to the in
fringement Of the laws against dueling,
and still the practice prevailed. In 1925
Richelieu published a milder form Of
prohibition. The first offense was no
longer capital, third only Of the Of
tenders property was to be confiscated.
and the judges were permitted to recog-
nize extenuating circumstances.
A few months later the Comte de
Bouteville thought fit to test the minis
ters patience in this direction. The
Place Royale had long been favorite
dueling ground, and De Bonneville
travelled from Brussels to fight his twen-
ty-second duel here, in the heart OF
Paris, in deliberate defiance of the kings
authority. The result was not encourag-
ing Montmorency though he was, the
count went with his second 70 the scat
fold. and the marked decrease from that
time in the number of duels may be at
tributed either to the moderation used
In framing the law or 10 the memorable
resolution with which it was enforced.
