BOTH BRl TIL RS HELD

Culpepper, Va, Dec. 10. = Today
was an eventful one in the notorious
Strother- -Bywaters case. The case
was submitted on the evidence al
ready adduced, and the two brothers,
waving further examination, were
bound over in bonds of 5000 each to
the January term of the grand jury.
The most sensational developments,
occurred in the afternoon, when the
young widow. propped up in bed, gave
her testimony in a clear voice, shaken
only with tears, when sne was forced
to speak of her dead husbands 8 ten
derness and love toward her Mrs.
Bywaters swore that with her husband
she had made three trips to Washing
ton to have criminal operations per-
formed. The doctors who performed
the various operations we're DR.. Leon
and DR.. walters. The first operation
was unsuccessful, and in two weeks
another was tried. A third operation
was tried just before Thanksgiving,
From the result of these operations,
Mrs. Bywaters nearly died.
The testimony of Mrs. Gaines show
ed that Bywaters was cousin of the
Strother family. 1t showed that the
girls were left with their brother phil
ip as their only protection and that
Bywaters came forward with cousin
ly solicitude and wanted to share the
role of protector of the family. In
this guise and under this influence he
wronged Viola Strother. and having
got her consent to criminal operation
for the purpose of hiding his crime, he
tried to get the girl to conceal her
illness until 1t we'll nigh proved fatal
to her.
Leon and Thompson, the doctors
who performed the criminal opera
tions, have been arrested before for
the same crime
The Bywaters family have retained
eminent counsel to assist the common
wealth.

GORKY'S MISTAKE.

Maxim Gorky seems to be wocfully
ignorant OF conditions and sentiments
IN this country. His criticism of Amer
| ica indicates that he has been dlsap-
| pointed And II he supposed that
American liberty stands for anarchy,
IL Is well that he realizes his mistake,
and Il can only be hoped that he win
tell all the world Of it, so as to prevent
others from falling into similar err
r0r.
American democracy means law-de-
fined liberty. Sometimes, It must be
admitted. II breaks out into mobocra-
cy, as in the case Of strike riots, and
lynchings, but such cases are excep-
tons, and prove the rule. We have
more law here than the Russians have.
The rights and duties of citizens are
more precisely defined than in any
other country, perhaps, and those who
come to SOW the seeds of discomfort
will find themselves engaged In dan
gerous pursuit. and all the more go
because here the people govern, and
not weak autocrat
Maxim Gorky, rs the representative
of an oppressed class fighting for the
rights of man. as given TO N',0 by the
| Creator, win find o hear leone
among the American people. Maxim
Gorky, the exponent of pnti-govern-
ment principles and the doctrine of
free love, will not find congenlal COM
pany among respectable citizens here.
| Notwithstanding the scandalous d.
! vorce cases that stain the pages Of the
| history of SO many men and women
| here, there Is no sympathy with the
practices so common In the Old World,
and which the Russian novelist appears
to regard as matter of course,
Maxim Gorky is a great man in the
literary world, and We have reason
to believe that he has performed Il
good work in the cause of liberty In his
own home, but ne has committed
mistake in disregardng the decent sem
tment of this country, The citizens
here will naturally argue that II the
! Russian reformers are working on the
| lines Gorky seems TO follow, they are
| not worthy Of sympathy, or support.
And to that extent he has injured his
| cause.

QUEER USE OF FIGURES.

For many years ~ fact ever since
the beginning OF the warfare of the
teetotalers against drunkenness, It has
been preached and proved and lllustrat-
cd "a song, story aud picture, that the
greater part Of the crime with which
society is afflicted Is traceable to in
toxicatlng drinks Figures have been
adduced to demonstrate how much bet
ter of a community would be- both
morally and economically, II there We're
no dram shops, II Is therefore a sur
prise to find "the other side" also repre-
seated by statlsticians. II has been
commonly accepted ms an axiom that
all the figures were on one side OF the
argument.
We find, however, that one gentle
man, Or. Reich, is taking the side of
ports he actually maintains that drunk
ards as a rule are amiable, abhor crime,
and are peaceable and mild charact-
ers. In proof Of this the learned gem
tleman quotes from a report on crime
as shown by the Eleventh census. And
these are the figures:
THAT Of 272 crimes committed by
adults against the government only 96
We're committed by drunkards.
That 6,9sl crimes against property
We're committed by total abstalners
and only 6,23l by drunkards.
That OH miscellaneous crimes were
committed by total abstainers and only
SS5 by drunkards.
That $3.50 total abstainers, In the
juvenile class, committed offenses
against property and only So drunkards.
FINALLY, that II juvenile abstainers
offended against the government and
no juvenile drunkards at ALL"
There is nothing In the report TO show
that Or, Reich is joking about the mat
ter His figures are to all appearances
as formidable as that class of argu-
ment can be, And they remind us
that many faddist has no stronger
proof for his particular hobby than
this so-called proof for the blessings
Of drunkenness. II has often been OBJ
served that figures can be made to
prove anything, IF they can be en-
ployed in support Of the civilizing In
fuences of the saloon, they certainly
can be found serviceable In any other
cause. no matter how bad. And yet,
It is true that figures do not lie.
