EUTHANAsIA, THE HAPPY DEATH

The ancients, less impregnated with
fear of what comes after death than are
the rod and candy children of later
days and civilizations, gave to such a
death as that which came to Roswell P.
Flower and that comes so frequently To
others, the name of euthanasia. the ham
py death. They had no future to peer
into that was made gloomy with doubt
of whether 1t were to be life of idle
bliss or one Of equally idle misery: but
they had full knowledge of the miseries
attending the prolonged decay, the weari-
some care to others, of death by slow
disease. and they deemed him fortunate
to whom the end came suddenly with no
note of warming
One needs that philosophy which comes
with experience Of life to overcome that
dread of death which is so strong In
youth, with it's exuberant vitality and
buoyant hopefuiness, when to live seams
the only fit condition and its ending a
catastrophe. and when the voiceless mvs-
teries are asked why we should NOT eo
on living forever. One needs to have
experienced the failure of the aspirations
and ambitions Of youth, to have had life's
illusions dispelled, to have felt the ''slings
and arrows Of outrageous fortune" to
have suffered the fills that flesh is heir
to- before one can look upon death with
Indifference If not with welcome as rest
after prolonged and futile struggle. One
learns to see the infinite wisdom I'm this

A JUST DECISION.

The decision Of the supreme court in
reviewing the Stocking divorce case
seems to be one which on its face is
worthy Of the highest commentator.
Without regard to the bearing of the de-
cision on the relation of the parties to
the action, the dictum Of the court as to
what course Of conduct on the part of q
husband toward his wife will Justify her
leaving him without enabling him after
wards to secure divorce on the ground
of desertion points clearly to just pro-
lection Of the rights of the wife.
The language Of tho court Is that,
ANY rule which will permit the hus-
band to enter upon a course of conduct
toward a wife which is humiliating insult
ing and degrading. and thereby drive her
from him (unless she be a stolid and
spiritleSs animal with no wants or as
pirations above physical comfort) and at
the expiration of the year come into
court and claim a divorce on the ground
of her wiliful desertion If his misconduct
does not legally entitle her to one. tends
directly to the degradation Of woman
hood and enables him. to take advantage
OF his own wrong DOING
The last legislature extended the period
Of abandonment necessary to securing a
divorce from one year to two. The ex-
tension was directly in the line Of the re-
form Of our divorce system. The further
limitation established by the supreme
court on the right to secure T. divorce
on this ground will be heartily cencurred
In. The conduct Of one of the parties to
marriage toward the other may be ut
terly insufferable. 1t may result in a
separation, for the protection of the, In
jured party. without rendering that party
liable to have divorce obtained against
him or her on the ground Of desertion
This is the effect Of the decision of the
supreme court In the Stocking case
The claim Of the party applying for the
that the ill-treatment which caused the
separation must have been such as to
justify a divorce on the ground Of cruel
and inhuman treatment. IL the separa-
ton Is not legally to be regarded as de-
sertion. This view the trial court seems
to have sustained. Such decision is &C
cordingly overruled by the supreme court.
1t would be hard, indeed, If a wife were
compelled to endure husband s brutality
until 1t should reach such a point that
she Is able to establish that she is en-
titled to a divorce on account Of 1t, be-
fore she is permitted to live separately,
except at the expense of having her mar
riage dissolved. Women are often ILL
treated by brutal husbands under such
circumstances as render it almost i'm
possible for them to establish such ILL
treatment In court. A man may In the
privacy OF their home be brutal toward
his wife, and even apparently affectionate
in the presence of other parties, thus
rendering it practically impossible for her
to invoke the intervention of the court
While the general tendency of the de-
eisions of our courts has been In the line
of the supreme court decision in this
! case. rather than In that OF the conten-
ton Of the trial court, it is in the interest
of sound public policy to have tho law
as clearly stated as it has been In this de-
cision.

OF all the contributions thus far to the
literature of the. trusts and their regu-
lation there has sbeen none more practi-
cal in It's character that that made dur
ing session of the industrial commits
sion by James W: Lee. of Pittsburg.
Mr.. Lee is a lawyer and apparently has
had much professional experience In OPP
position to what may be regarded as the
oldest and most powerful of the trusts.
the Standard Oh company. His testi-
mony, MISUNDERSTANDING to the oil COM
blnations may be 7dfsregarded as that of
a prejudiced witness, The expression of
his general Views on the subject are
nevertheless worthy Of serious considera
ton
1t has long been regarded as true that
the most highly criminal feature of trust
administration is the practice which pre-
walls among such organizations of de-
hberately accomplishing the ruin of those
competitors in business whom they are
not able to bring into their erganiza-
lions. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, Of
men in. various commercial and manufae-
turing enterprises have been ruined by
the destructive competition of the trusts.
=! Since these organizations have OBJ
need Of destroying competitors by fore
ing prices down to, such figures as to in
volve ultimate ruin, and then restoring
them after the offensive competitor has
been annihilated, has not been so great
But the practice is carried on now. as 1t
always has been since the general advent
of the trusts. This is the evil which
cries most loudly for a remedy at the
hands Of the criminal authorities of the
country The offense is readily admissi-
BILE of proof. Where a trust IS engaged
in selling it's commodities at less than
cost the law can very readily. on COM
plant of a competitor, create the pre-
sumption that such sales are made for
the accomplishment of the complainant.s
or others ruin.
With such a law in operation in every
state in the Uniolg and honestly enforced,
as enforced it would; necessarily be In
case of Individual eonablaints being made,
at least that evil would soon be abated.
Mr.. Lee urged pn #he commission the
necessity of Finding the Capitalization
of corporations. yThis remedy, while 1t
might not be as eTeetive as the other,
would accomplish much good. Such a
limitation must bs established sooner or
later IL the trust n1onstrosity is to be
destroyed 1t is a serious and difficult
subject, however, what maximum amount
Of capital should be allowed by law.
And, moreover, If the various industries
of the country are9to keep on being alb
sorbed by the trusts for year or two
longer without adequate remedy, such
a remedy as this. to be at all effective.
must involve the destruction OF the ex-
listing trusts.
Indeed, the only really hopeful cir
cumstance relating to the search for a
remedy against the trusts up to the pres
ent Is that the light OF public scrutiny
and condemnation is being turned with
such intensity on those creations as rem
ders the discovery of an effective remedy
sooner or or later inevitable.
