one tendency.
1T is to be hoped that the attitude
of the courts in regard to the defense
of emotional insanity will be much
more stringent and unrelenting than
it has hitherto been, and IL Is to be
hoped that the public will be spared
long and expensive trials, with the
exposure of the disgusting details and
Notwithstanding forms of defense.
Lawyers should not be permitted, with
the aid of disreptuable members OF
my own profession, to invent spurious
forms of insanity and to inject improb-
able dramatic elements in cases which
have done yeoman service in the sem
sational fiction OF all ages, and ceT-
tainly, If possible, the alleged insanity
of defendant should be settled by q
commission of alienists and not be
passed upon by an ordinary jury, who
are only human, after all, and who
are utterly unable to draw fine dis
tinctions or to tell who is lying.
Advocates Commission of Aiienists.
"a wise procedure, firss inaugurated
by the United States, District Of Col
umbia, in the Schneider case some
years ago, and lately NOSE perfectly
brought about by the Hon! Justice
Warren w. Foster, of the general ses-
sions, provides for the appointment of
a commission of aBenists, wao should
receive testimony and give an opinion
as to the alleged insanity of g defend

the act, as we'll as at the present timet
and report. The decision Of this COM
mission may send the individual to a
penal institution Of the insane, 1r he
may be put on trial should the claim
of alleged insanity be Unfounded. By
this method the community would not
only be saved from disgusting details,
such as were poured out in the Thaw
and other cases, but an immense
amount OF money could. be saved the
taxpayers. AS it is, jury trials are
nOtorioUBIy unfair, no matter how
conscientious and intelligent may be
the tribunal. Within the last year 1
have had experience with two cases
which illustrate what l mean.
In, one a habeas corpus was
brought for a chronic ltrnatic, whose
actions were so glaring that her own
counsel admitted her insanity and
could find no expert to testify in her
behalf. The proceedings were held in
courtroom which at othey times
served as tfe meeting place Of the
Grand Army of the Republie: Inciden-
tally, it appeared in the testimony
that during the war she had given cof-
fee and sandwiches to the soldiers,
and point. was made of this by her
ingenious and, resourceful lawyer. To
the surprise OF everyone the jury,

old soldiers who made the nom

munlty than are known. The husband
who kills n paramour too often does
1t in cowardly fashion, either shoot
ing him in the back from behind n
wall or in the dark. There Is too apt
to be an element of cowardice in the
way 1t is done that robs 1t of the fine
frenzy of feeling with which it is col
ored by the lawyers for the defense.
Frequently the causes that lead up to
these tragedies are known by the
husband long before, and even some
times condoned. My impression is
That there exists a sort of inexplicable
vanity, an exaggerated egotism, that
inspires the semi.heroic attitude of in.
jured virtue assumed by the husband
who shoots another man on his wife's
account.
There is another strange evolution
OF modernism, quite as remarkable and
twisted in its way as the husbands
motives for killing. The community,
going back to the laws of barbarism,
adopts the husbands assumed proper
ty rights in the wife to be the moral
solution of q far more complicated
problem than they realize. Public SYM
pathy with these cases depends upon
the dramatic skill with which the hus-
band presents his story, the manner in
which he performs his supreme act of
egotism He may so blunder in the
frenzy of his attempt to impress upon
the public his chagrin and rage that
they discover an element of the ludic-
rous in the very heart of aa actual
tragedy.
oecadent Public Opinion,
Suck man may often neglect his
wife, subject her to extraordinary
cruelty, within the law, however, or
completely ignore her tastes and in
clinations, and suddenly he is sur
prised that she runs away with some
one else, After brooding over his lost |
property, and fearing the criticism OF |
the community, he makes one final ef-
fort to be sincere, and kills the other
man, usually in some melodramatic i
fashion, taking care to save his own |
skin. While my arraignment is not |
sweeping, there is certainly today a |
large number of individuals whose de- |
velopment takes place in community |
where public opinion is decadent and |
there may be a false standard of duty
and heroism. These people are quite |
apt to do foolish things, or to disre- |
gard the advantages and available help |
afforded by the law.
while it may seem an extreme
thing to say, l do not think anyone |
can help but deplore a certain visible |
decadence which finds it's expression |
in love of sensationalism, in the I'M
healthy tone of certain parts of the |
public press, by the appetite for de- |
generate literary pabulum in the way
of commonplace novels, which are full |
of cheap sentiment and mock hero
ism; and by very irregular and I'M
stable social institution which exists |

II Never Will Win Success in, the
Poultry, Business.

iii order to reach the highest de-
gree of success it is necessary for
those engaged in the poultry business
to use their best faculties. Not only
thIt, but all the energy and enthusi-
asm of ones natUre should be enlisted.
If this is done and continued in for
a proper length os time it is astonish-
ing what may he accomplished. The
quality of stick-toitiveness is very es-
sential and is the one point in which
so many fail.
Very many stay in the poultry busi-
ness so long as things go their way,
and it is smooth sailing; but Just as
soon as they run against obstacles
they are ready to quit the business,
they have no luck, so to speak, but the
successful ones study way out of the
difficulties, and soon overcome the OBJ
stacles. Steady work is the kind that
counts. Any person who has the quail
fication of hanging on to a thing as
long as he sees anyone else engaged
in the same business, says the Farmer,
and is endowed with good, sound judg-
ment, should be able to make good
living for himself and family with his
bare hands, and the person who has
several thousand dollars at his COM
mand to invest should certainly do
more than this. The poultry business
is not different from any other busi-
ness and the same amount of money
and brains put into it should bring
as satisfactory returns, but it cannot
be done in year or two. 1t takes
tine and patience.
