The End of a Misspent Life

The death of Mrs. Chadwick in the
Columbus, O., state prison, recalls
her meteoric career in frenzied n
nance. 1t is under any circumstance
a distasteful task to criticize the dead,
and in the case of a woman it is in
finitely more disagree able. She is
before the Supreme Judge, the Merci-
full; we have no right to anticipate
His verdict.
But as a criminal was Mrs. Chad
wick not the product of our time?
Her first step was rendered possible
by the banker who saw Illegal profits
for himself, and risked the money en-
trusted to him to secure them. Her
subsequent career was due to the first
success. The supposed securities de-
posted by her strongly suggested
blackmail. This was overlooked in
the eagerness to share in the results.
II appeared on the trial that not one
half of the story was revealed; other
heads of large banking institutions
were involved but, as she was charged
with the wrecking of one country
bank, astute lawyers prevented othel
revelations, and the guilty men pre-
ferred loss to publicity.
The material life which we are
leading is responsible for the socia
conditions which rendered this WON
ans life possible. Success in life i
counted by accumulated millions
