THE LOVING VERDICT.

The absolute acquittal of a dissi-
pated and whisky-soaked old repro
bate of the charge of murder because
he claims to have killed his victim un-
der the impression that the victim had
done his daughter a great wrong-an
impression which appears to have
been false-is carrying the unwritten
law theory entirely too far. Stress was
laid upon the fact that years of dis
sipation had rendered Judge Loving
suspicious and morose.. 1t had also
made him quarrelsome and disagree
able. He was certainly responsible for
burning up his brain with alcohol, and
the fact that that brain once made him
brilliant and influential renders his act
all the more reprehensible.
Even those who would acquit Harry
Thaw can not justify Judge Loving.
Thaw also was dissipated, but he not
only had before him the fact that his
victim had wronged one he loved, but
also the positive belief that the victim
was attempting to do the same thing
again. In both the Thaw and the Low
ing cases, the jury might have taken
into consideration these circumstances,
but it does not seem just that man
may destroy his power to act ration
ally and then go Scot Tree WneH ne
takes the life of a -felIowman.
Incidentally there is powerful tenn
perance lesson in both of these cases.
The Kansas City Journal points it out
in the following:
ION those who think upon these two
remarkable murders the fact is inn
pressed that drink was at the bottom
| of both. 1t was drink and attendant
designations that placed Stanford
White within reach of the fatal bullet.
1t was drink that animated Harry
Thaw and nerved his arm for the deed.
1t was drink that led Evelyn Thaw to
| a condition of easy conquest Miss
| Loving was more or less addicted TO
drinking to excess. and when young
Estes gave her more than she could
stand it started the scandal that ended
| in the whisky-soaked Judge Loving
shooting the victim, as in the White
case, without a chance for his life.
1.-The pisition in which Miss Loving
was placed was most trying. She had
either to confess that she had been
| wronged when drunk or drugged, or
| confess that she lied deliberately and
| willfully when she told this story to
her father. She chose the former al
| tentative, and it does not help her
lcause in the estimation of decent peo-
ple that her lie. for 1t seems to have

been a lie, led to the death of young
Estes. Probably every one of the act
ors in the Loving-Estes tragedy was
culpable, as in the Thaw-White in
stance, but at the bottom of the whole
miserable business was a foundation
of wrong living and dissipation.
Judge Loving is a free man. but
the blight of murder shall remain for
ever upon his soul, and it is made all
the more terrible that he acted upon
daughter will live to be tormented by
the fact that her falsehood caused the
death of man innocent of the specific
crime alleged. Surely in the record of
these two tragedies there is a solemn
lesson that should sink deep into the
minds of American young men and
women. It is the same old lesson thar
has been taught in records of blood
all through the ages-that the wages
of sin isdeath."

She is very trim and tidy
From her head unto her feet.

If her eyes be brown or blue,

Whene'er they look at you.

recent Missouri legislature passed an
