MURDER AND HEREDITY.

1t is pleaded in behalf of young Gillette, who heart
1essly betrayed and fendishly murdered poor Grace
Brown that he is victim of heredity.
Both his parents said to be people of in
stability This partly borne out by the kilograms
clearly marked by the evidences of religious hystera
which Mrs Gillette has been sending her son since his
conviction
Gillette himself is solid enough but his heredity is
sufficiently bad to make the professional aenis accord
him some degree of irresponsbility for his crimes.
But, fortunately, few of professional aensts,
with fine drawn theories to sustain.
According to the aenss perfectly normal people are
SO rare that they can hardly be said to exist
Few, indeed, of us without queer notion two in
corner of our brans-some foolish little superstition
irrational prejudice that affects life and conduct
though laugh at it.
Gillette may not be wholly sane, in this sense, but he
seems to be quite enough to know what he is about
He enough at his trial to appreciate the
enormty of his ofense and to strive by very rational lying
to evade the results
One enough to know all this is enough to be
subjected to the penalty for his crimes.
That there potent forces in heredty deny.
But much that is claimed in this direction in behalf of
criminals is sentimental gush.

1t is easy to see Natures laws. To turn from the

Quit quareling and lying 1t to quit disspating
In brief, it means-quit shining

blows in behalf of emancipating the
children of America from mine, fac
tory and sweatshop labor were
struck in congress lately by Senator
Albert J. Bereridge, of Indiana,
when he illustrated speech with
photographs showing pitiable exam

President Roosevelt when he filed
photographs with his message on
the Panama canal. Senator Beyer-

tional child labor committee. were
more full of human interest. how
ever, and made his speech doubly
eloquent
Senator Beverage was speaking
in favor of his bill to prohibit the
transportation in interstate COM
merce of the products of child labor.
1t is intended to be national rem
edy for the evil of child labor. He
cited many pathetic instances of
misery found by special investiga-
tors
Points taken from his speech are:
THE census shows that nearly
1000, 900 child breadwinnerS under
| ) years of age are now at work. Of
these, almost 100000 are engaged in
work other than agriculture Child
labor on the farm is good. This bill
does not strike at that. II strikes
only at child slavery in factories,
mines and sweatshops.
