Deserved Their Fate.

Senator Brown of Utah was
killed in Washington, by Mrs.
Bradley of Salt Lake. White
of New York was killed by Harry
Thaw by'of Pittsburg because of
Whites relation with Mrs. Thaw.
The editor of the Morning Herald
was asked;
DO you believe that there
should be a statute giving any
man or woman the right to take
the life of any other man or wo-
man who has offended against
the moral codelp Inspart he ans
wers:
No man or woman who has the
slightest regard for the sancity of
the marriage vow or any institu-
ton of the meaning of the word
loyalty can feel regret at the death
of Senator Brown. The death OF
Sanford Whites genius was a loss
to art, but he was a moral monster
who sacrificed the lives of innocent
children to his lust. and deserved
his fate.
But whether Mrs. Bradley was
justified in killing Senator Brown;
whether Thaw-the degenerate
was appointed to act as execu-
toner of White-the genius are
questions which each man settles
for himself when the occasion
arises and each jury decides, too
often without regard to the writ
ten law.
IF the 'unwritten law applies
at all its provisions ought to be
known and those who act in ac-
cordance with its provisions ought
he immune from punishment or
need of defense. AS it is today a
man or woman crazed by passion,
iealously, whiskey, or drugs, may
slay one who has been guilty of
no fault, destroying thereby not
only the life of the victim but the
reputation of the living, and, APP
pealing to the 'unwritten law,
claim, exemption from punishment
because of a belief that there had
been wrong done. Under the law
of self-defence he who has reason
able ground for believing and does
believe his life to be in danger has

be observed unless overthrown by

college and it's management is
printed in full elsewhere. More
than one charge is admitted to
be true, but explanations are
