fortunate as to have brothers, but
the reply was that seldom was there
a case in which there was no male
relative, and that he believed that
were such case to arise of gross
abuse, there was always to be found
in the community a man who would
protect the woman and her rights.
Two Noted Tragedies.
Who that reads the recent trial of
Gillette for the murder of his victim
can forget the GOODNESS with which he
claimed he said Tell your father;
if you don't, | will" There comes a
mental picture of that father and
what swift vengeance he would have
meted out to the destroyer of his
child. Was Gillette such a degen-
crate that to him the unwritten law
had no meaning, or was he merely
talking for effect?
The unwritten law which says "Ven-
geance is mine," is no excuse for the
disgraceful broils of the degenerate
man and woman who find their only
pleasure in dissipation. The man who
despoils innocence himself-who gives
his name and his protection to a wom-
an whose life has been like unto his
own, is not in any sense the defender
of what the home stands for. His
sense of moral obligation for himself
is too blunted to fit him, to judge
of the transgressions of another. He
is himself an outlaw when judged by
the standards of common morality.
His propensity to shoot is the re-
suit of heated brain, or the lack of
brains.
No woman, no man, is safe with
such creature at large.
Let us add to the unwritten law an
other section: Let there be no inu-
endos against the chastity of woman,
but only straightforward statements
with page and verse" and the viola
lor OF this law shall be placarded:
This person took away the good
name Of another without cause" and
walk the streets in shame.
In the heart of every man, there
dwells first absolute faith in his moth.
er. That is his birthright, and in pro-
portion to his faith in and affection
for his mother will be his faith in
and affection for his wife. On that
| foundation Is built his attitude to his
offspring. The true son, the true
husband, the real father, in all these
relations, owes to the home a clean
standard OF living. He should never
invite into that home man who does
not himself respect virtue. The man
who is despoiler of virtue in one
instance is an unsafe guest and friend

threatened her life, II she had re-
treated to the wall to eludo him, It
would have been case of justifiable
homicide. But his crime against her
was more atrocious one than muI~
der. 1t took away her good name, the
love and affections of her friends and
relations, her future, her faith in and
respect for herself-and her trust in
God and man.
Written in the Mothers Heart.
And, again, the man takes, under
the unrighteous laws of certain states,
his child away from its mother. Which
law comes first-that written in the
statute books or that written in the
heart of every mother by the pangs of
childbirth? So sure as she lives, that
mother will obey the unwritten law,
and the child she will have. 1t is only
ten years since there was taken from
our statute book the law that a man
could by will give his unborn child to
whom he pleased, without reference
to the paramount claim, by affection
and suffering of its mother.
A member of the bar in the one
state In the union where there are no
divorce laws once told me that in his
state they had no serious trouble as
to domestic infelicities. '1f man

unwritten law seemed to be preferred

BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

A woman, good or bad, shot man,
good or bad, in his hotel in our ma
tional capital, the ether day. She
stands, she says, "intrenched behind
the unwrftten law" She claims to
have chased this man from Utah to
Washington and shot him to death
in his hotel, because he refused to
provide for her and her two children;
that she has twice been made a
mother; that one of the children bears
his name.
We have, up to date, been pretty
tolerant Of the woman who takes
babe on one arm and pistol in the
other hand and pursues a man to his
death. But when there are two chill.
dren. as in this case, one may well
lponder bit before he gives her the
tears and tenderness so generously
given to the guileless, misguided girl.
Like Highwayman's Act.
A woman cannot we'll come into
court with a family of children and
plead seduction and betrayal, as a
girl too often does. and have the SYM
pathy of both men and women. This
woman's statement is that she asked
the man either to marry her or give
her money to support her children. He
said mo: will not" and with that
she shot him to death, or, at least, did
her best to kill him on the spot.
Briefly and bluntly she shot him down
in his hotel for refusing to give her
money. The difference between this
act and that of the ordinary burglar
or highwayman is not very distinct.
Her declaration that the world will
see the justification of her act is as
the declaration of an insane woman.
And this must be. as you will see, is,
her only excuse; and it will be pleaded
so soon as a lawyer can be found to
take care of her, her only defense.
Yet there will be many ready to say
SERVED him just right will say it
without waiting to hear one single
word of the other side. Sitting at
table to-day, some one read the wom-
ans statement, wherein she supple
mented the story of the attempted
murder with the assertion that she
had not one cent" Whereupon a
beautiful lady of more than ordinary
culture and knowledge of the world
was moved to tears and sighed: mot
one cent think of it," But hardened
man, a husband and father with
family of daughters, sighed from the
other end of the table; "Ah, my dear,
there are others who have not a cent.
If we are to allow all those who have
not a cent to set out and chase those
down who happen to have cent or
two where will that sort of plea lead
us?"
Victims Morals Irrelevant.
AS said before, as to whether this
man is a good or bad man, high or
low, rich or poor, or whether the
woman is either, neither, or all of
these, does not figure at all in this
dismal and pitiful case. Can woman
leave her children behind her and
chase a man thousands of miles, and
then when she murders him put as her
last excuse the fact that she has not

entertaining such absurdities. Yon
will see nothing of the sort even
hinted at in Justinian's code. Coke
upon Littleton, no commentator. an
cient or modern, ever mentioned any
thing of the sort. The law was the
law, that was all. Blackstone was a
brave, bright poet, a sentimentalist
as well as mighty expounder Of the
law. But surely he would have
laughed in the face Of any advocate
who might have dared to talk to him
of the "unwritten law" There Is
literally nothing of the sort outside of
America, and there is really nothing

terfuge for law, used by demagogues
