1t does not look to the unpreiudiced observer

the hearts OF all who read her confession to that cy
nca priest, the world, il is impossible to forget that
Evelyn Nesbit exchanged her womanhOod for the
protection of more than man whose name has
been connected with the case. She was confronted
by the same problem which confronts thousands of
girls in the department stores and Offices OF every
city, girls who content iE poverty and honesty
who hold high above all other things ''the immediate
jewels OF their sous'' and who eat the crust of Fl
delity to the ideals OF their wOmanhood rather than
feast at the tables of wrong. 1t is not for ore to
Judge too harshy, to say how much of this casting
away OF the priceless pearl was due to youthful
immaturity and the devish brutality, and how
much was the result of UNANIMOUSLY insidious teach
ing on the part of her mother, and of temptations
that were we'll nigh irresistible. But as the world
goes in this day and age, every girl of 16 has
clear idea OF what is right and what is wrong
There is claim that this girl was led astray by
mistaken love. Whether her story of Whites con-
duct was true or not, she came forth from that ex
perience as she might have escaped from beast OF
the forest. A girl who set the right value upon her
honorwould have gone upward and not downward

Thaw had no good name to lose, but the strip
ping away Of Stanford Whites fame, Just though
1t be, was one OF the tragedies of the affair. No
longer is he remembered as the famous architect OF
monumental buildings, but the modern satyr and
voluptuary All three OF the principals in this un
fortunate affair had their iates in their own hands,
II they are victims they are victims of their own
lusts and passions more than of each other. No
hand, however strong, can drag down any human
being who does not want to fall and who shuns the
slippery PLACES.
Sanford White is dead. The companion whom
he made his wife is broken Thaw faces the mad
house. That, after all, is perhaps the best place
for him. No one clamors for his blood. But who
wants to see madman at Target 1t is very prob
able that man who led life such as his became
actually insane, not to the point Of not knowing what
was right and what was wrong, but to the point of
not caring-of induking the savage and primeval
instincts born of the jungle life he lived. It is
absurd to argue that he sane before he drew his
ready revolver, sane Immediately afterwards, sane
now, and insane at the moment OF shooting White,
three years after the alleged story Of his wife's
wrongs we're told him and after she had been his
companion for months.

Count Itagak founder Of the liberal party in
Japanese politics, deep thinker man of high
prominence in the empire, himself aristocrRt of
long lineage, proposes to the Japanese nobility q
total abolition Of peerage He takes the stand
that the class distinctions to which its exstance
gives rise initiate against the progress OF the
tion; that 1t has usefulness save as breeder OF
hurtiul sn0bbery, and that 1t is in view Of the evos
lution Of modern thought and common sense, an
archaic and expensive Institution, supported only
by pernicous and fictitious sentiment.
The reasoning of this Japanese statesman is un.
impeachabe. Aristocracy, as practiced in Enrope
with its absurdy false distinctions depending upon
birth and hereditary influences; its creation Of a
leasure class which, in the very nature Of things,
makes it's members parasites upon the labor and
purses Of the great mase Of the peoples its creation
and encouragement Of arrogant idleness-has long
been recognized not only as a costly incubus, but
as an absurd anachronsm.
The American is quite sure--as are the English
men, the German, the Russian and the Spaniard, in
their heartsthat the distinction given by inherited
rank Is an artificial one, and that the so called
ssnObityv in these four ountres, as In other simi
