ROOsevelt's Dirty Work.

Washington, Dec. 25 1t was
only by an eyelash that President
Roosevelt escaped contempt of
court in the proceedings against
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison F..
Everybody knows that the Presi-
dent has an intuitive faculty. 1t
seems that he guessed that the SUI
preme court of the District of CO.
lumbia would decide that the three
members of the Federation of La :
Dor must 60 to Jail. He was so
sure about the proposition that he
got member of his cabinet to 90
to John Mitchell and tell Mitchell
that if no appeal were taken he
would pardon him.
If the message had been deliver
ed to Mitchell by the president the
probability is that it would have
been rejected but 1t was sent to
Mitchell by one of the Cheap John
advertising men that Mr.. Roose-
velt has put into his cabinet.
This message may have been a
job put up on Mr.. Taft. If the
member of the cabinet had pulled
this off, which Roosevelt hoped
for, the President elect might
have felt it necessary to reappolnt
an inferior member of the cabinet.
But it seems that John Mitchell
doesn't care for milk diet through
the presidency. While he may be
concerned as labor man in the
pure food law, he is more con
cerned in the American Federation
of Labor.
He learned from the President
that he could be pardoned, but
that Gompers and Morrison ought
to go to jail, because they had
"vlolated the law deliberately and
willfully."
Roosevelt's envoy informed Nit
chell that Gompers was bad
leader for organized labor, and
that honest men should not be led
into contempt by him. Mitchell
informed Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet
officer that his case was bound up
with the other two men and that
he would abide any action taken
by the court and stand or fall with
Gompers and Morrison,
From the information gathered
here Mr.. Roosevelt was very angry
when he learned that Mitchell
would not accept pardon from
him in advance of the judicial de.
cision. He was more indignant
when he learned through member
of his cabinet that Mitchell re-
sented the suggestion that he
should escape by a pardon, and
permit the President to throw
bricks at Gompers and Morrison
The entire story, with eircumstan-
tial details, is being told in Wash
ington.

Arise, and get thee hence, for this

Where there is this haunting mem
DRY of a great love lost there is al
ways forgiveness, charity, and sym
patty that makes the man brother to
all who endure and suffer. The in
dividual himself is nothing; he has
nothing to hope for, nothing to gain,
nothing to win, nothing to lose; for
the first time and the last he has a
selfishness that is wide as the world
and wherein there is no room for the
recollection of a wrong.
In this memoy of a geat love there
is a nourshing source of strength by
which the possessor lives and works;
he is in communication with elemen
tai conditions.
Harriet Martineau was 4 lifelong
widow of the heart. That first great
passion of her early womanhoOd, the
love that was lost. remained with her
all the days of her life. springing fresh
every morning, her last thought as
she closed her eyes at night. Other
loves came to her, attachments vary
ing in nature and degree, but in this
supreme love all was fused and alb.
sorbed.
In this love you get the secret of
power.
A great love is a pain, yet it is
benson and a benediction. If we car
nv any possession from this world to
another it is the memory of a great
love. For even in the last hour when
the coldness of death shall creep into
the stiffening limbs, and the brain
shall be stunned and the thoughts
stifled, there shall come to the tongue
n name-a name possibly not men
toned aloud for years-there shall
come a name; and as the last flick
ering rays of life flare up and go out
on earth forever, the tongue will
speak this name that was long, long
ago burned into the soul by the pas
sion of a love that fadeth not away.

THE UNWRITTEN LAW.

The result of the Crosby trial has
brought forth some press comment,
one especially, of notable length, at
tributing the verdict to the unwritten
law, the editorial being written to jus
tify such killings, on the ground of
course, that the man who is killed is
always the despoiler of home. The
News thinks that there is entirely too
many pleas of unwritten law and feels
sure that under no circumstances can
a newspaper justify such a plea. The
fact is that virtuous women are safe
in this country, and while there may
be an occasional case where the man
deliberately consumates the ruin If
a virtuous married woman, the real
cases are so few and far between,
that the average person never posi-
lively knows of such a case. On the
other hand there are many immoral
women in this world, who marry and
seemingly respectable, carry on
their immoral traffic with any man
who is so inclined and the wonder is
that so many men can know the i'm
morality of such women and the hus-
bands in the case be blind to the fact.
Such women trade on the fact that
they are married, because they know
that they are more attractive than
the common harlot of the restricted
dostrict, yet the element of gain is
just the same with them, as if is with
other immoral women. Human ma
ture has been the same from time
immemorial and probably will be for
ever. These women will always find
men, because they go out to look for
mem, or do something which will at
tract them, and it is about time to
stop killing men on account Of them
We can understand the plea of the I'M
written law, where a home has been
truly despoiled, but let the man whose
wife has been equally guilty with the
man in the case. find out who was the
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-06-04

original despoiler of his wife, before
he starts killing. Possibly it would
be just as well for society that he
kill the woman, too, if there is any
justification for murder, but in any
case there is no chance to plead the
despoiling of home when the woman,
young or old, has used that home to
attract men for the purpose of immoral
traffic, and where she uses the money
possibly to adorn the home or at least
herself. In many instances because
this woman is found out she attempts
to screen herself by placing the blame
on some man, who loses his life with
out reason, and his slayer pleads the
unwritten law; and the written law
seems to hedge the slayer around with
that it is no wonder that men lose
confidence in our institutions. How
many men would be lying in swamps
if their sins had been found out,
their grinning skulls a mute testimony
to faithless women who have traf-
licked in their shame, if these women
who sold themselves had betrayed
the men, who only did what thousands
of men have done under conditions,
which if not warranted by law were
at least not stopped by the law. The
newspapers may rest assured that the
man who Stays another, will find
enough means to escape the penalty
Of the law without their condoning or
excusing his act even though it may
be justnfied.
In the most famous case, Of the plea
of justification of the unwritten law,
that of Thaw, it was proven that the
defendant tried to have White pun
ished; that he appealed to District At
torney Jerome and to Anthony Com
stock, the keeper of New York's NOR
ais and that he could do nothing.
Added to this it was proven that White
still persisted in trying to get Thaw's
wife away from him. But that case is
so far removed from the usual killing
that there is no parallel. 1t is quite
different from the man who finds a
note written to his wife in an unknown
hand, who goes out and kills some
man who he imagines wrote the note;
or where some man learns Of the inf
deity of his wife and deliberately muir
ders the first man he finds who has
had Illicit relations with his wife.

Respect for the courts and all con
stituted authority cannot be looked for
when juries will disregard the evi'
dence and the law and turn red-handed
murderers loose upon the commu-
nifty, as was the case Saturday at
Hattiesburg, when Crosby was ac-
quilted of the charge of murderinS
G.. r. McShane. 1t will be recalled
that Crosby and his wife lured Nc
Shane to a lonely place near the city
on Easter Sunday, and deliberately
shot him to death, after questioning
him relative to his relations with Mrs.
Crosby. The murderers made full
confession, telling the story in all its
horrible detail, but NOTWITHSTANDING
all these facts, the jury found Crosby
mot guilty" The "unwritten law is
being worked overtime, and the people
at large cannot be blamed for takin-
a pessimistic view of the efficacy OF
the courts to punish crime and meto
out justice between man and man.

A Common Cold.

We claim that If catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases would
never be heard Of A cold often
forms a culture bed for germs Of
infectious diseases. Consumption,
pneumonia, diphtheria, and scarlet
fever, four of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, are of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development OF the germs
of these diseases, that would not
otherwise find lodgment. There is
little danger, however, of any Of
these diseases being contracted when
good expectorant cough medicine
like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Is used. 1t cleans out these culture
beds that favor the development Of
the germs Of these diseases. That is

versally successful In preventing

closed 1t after him. That done, Mile.
Stangerson, though horribly wounded,

IT was not till G o'clock that Ileft
the chateau, taking with me
the article hastily written by
my friend in the little sitting
room which NJ. Robert Darzac had
placed at our disposal. The reporter
was to sleep ut the chateau. taking ad-
vantage Of the to Inc inexplicable hos
pitality offered him by NJ. Robert OAR
zac, to whom NJ. Stangerson in that
sad time left the care of all his do
mestic affairs. Nevertheless he insist
ed on accompanying me to the station
at Epinay. In crossing the park he
said to me:
"Frederic is really very clever and
has not belicd his reputation. Do you
know how he came to find Daddy
Jacques boots? Near the spot where
we noticed the traces of the neat boots
and the disappearance of the rough
ones there was q square hole. freshly
made in the moist ground, where a
stone had evidently been removed.
Larsan searched for that stone with.
out finding It and at once imagined
that 1t had been used by the murderer
with which to sink the boots In the
lake. Fred's calculation was an excel
lent one. as the success Of his search
proves That escaped me. but my
mind was turned in another direction
by the large number of false indica'
tions of his track which the murderei
left and by the measure of the BLACK
footmarks corresponding with that o1
Daddy Jacques boots. which had Cd
tablished without his suspecting 1t, or
the floor Of the yellow room. Al
which was a proof. in my eyes. thai

picion on to the old servant Up tC

cord. but no further. II Is going to bt
a terrible matter. for tell you he Il

fight him with nothing"
At that moment we passed by th'
back Of the chateau. Night had come
A window on the first floor was partly
open. A feeble light came from It a.
! well as some sounds which drew ou
attention. We approached until W.
had reached the side Of a door tina
