The Dawn of Reason.

In the days of unreason, when
thinking by the many was at a dis
count, and man accepted and follow
ed the beaten trails of custom, super
stition and prejudice, disease was
thought to be the results of the ac-
tivities of evil spirits. In order to
cure, the spirit must be driven out,
and spells and nominations were re-
sorted to. Later man considered dis
ease a visitation of the just, wise,
merciful Almighty Father-Who in
His infinite wisdom, they thought,
saw fit to in1ict pain, misery and de-
formity on His children.
AS man began to make use of his
thinking powers he began to realize
that disease is not thing but con-
dition; state, discord in nature,
and that within himself he must
seek succor;" that the laws of nat
ure or the laws of God, and that both
are perfect,-improvement. as well
as disregard of them impossible.

she WAS DEAD
BUT HUSBAND DID NOT KNOW 1T
WHEN HE SHOT.
Strange Tale of Man Who Failed 10
Garry Out Suicide
Pact.

New York, June 20.-James War
dell told the police strange story
today of the circumstances which led
him to shoot and. as he supposed.
kin his 19-year-old wife yesterday
in her Nat in West Twenty-fifth
street. Under the pressure of mer-
ciless examination from Coroner Ac-
ritelli he told all. His story is as
follows:
81 met the girl on the street four
years ago, and year later we were
married. She had been leading a
pretty gy life, but for time we lived
in happiness together. Then We quar-
relied and after time we separated.
81 went to Connecticut, got work
there and tried to forget her. But it
was useless. stayed away from her
for nearly three years, but at last
came back here and hunted through
the places where | knew she proba-
bly, would be, until l found her.
asked her to come back and live
with me. | told her / would forget
the past, and we should begin all
over again.
"She said she was tired of the life
she had been leading and wanted to
come back to me. She told me she
had found a friend in my absence
and would be killed if she returned
to me. Then she suggested that we
both die together. We planned it all
out to kill ourselves with gus, but
she wanted to make sure that we
would both die. r
1--WE fixed it up so that we could
turn on the gas. Then If she got UNI
conscious first and it looked like
couldn't stand to die by the gas,
was to shoot her and then shoot my
self. If | got unconscious first and
she got scared of the gas she was to
shoot me and then kill herself.
1--WE closed everything up and
turned on the gas. fixed tube in
her mouth. We low down on the bed.
She breathed in the gas, and after a
while she looked like she was all In.
81 was pretty weak, but / climbed
over her and started for the door.
was losing my nerve. / dropped to
my knees because | was weak and
figured that | would be a coward if
didn't carry out the agreement, so
went back to bed.
81 felt her and she seemed to be
cold. ! kissed her and her lips were
cold. Then | took the gun, which had
been on my pillow all the time, and
shot her in the head.
after that l turned the gun on
myself and pulled the trigger. The
first time it didn't go off. | tried
again and It failed. The third time
was an awful struggle, and it failed
again. was sure it would shoot the
fourth time, but it did not, and then
| lost out"
At the time of his. confession War
dell did not know that an autopsy
had disclosed that his wife was dead
when he fired the bullet into her
brain. Just what charge will be based
upon his acknowledgement of an in
tent to kill the coroner has not made
known.
Mrs. Wardell, who was strikingly
attractive, was found dead on hei
bed.

Loeb laughs at the idea Of war
with Japan, President Roosevelt has
gone to Oyster Bay for-the summer
and the whole administration gives
voice to assure us that there never
was any danger of war. But we hear
the sigh that precedes Loeb's smile,
we accept the presidents apparent
unconcern as a bit of theatrical by
play and remember that when we
were most importunate the state de-
partment had no information to inn
part. There is no danger of war now,
and Loeb is admonished to smile.

''We'll fight it out along this line

We mean what we say, and we are
going to win. We say we are going

We want you to get better wages,

That is why we are insisting upon
