We have bat small sympathy to
expepd for the young man who dies q
victim to his lust, as did the urfOr-

the husband Of the woman, and the
woman OF girl-wife as it was. Fam

the affair. Lechery was the lure that
led the young man to his fate. and
he himself said he deserved to die at
the hand of the husband whose peace
Of mind he had forever blasted. The
young man should have declined the

seph the allurements of Potiphar's
enanered wife The horrible part
OF the affair, was that the slayers
let the body lie undiscovered in the
woods till found mutilated by vul-
lures and scavangers. They should
have been bold enough after doing
the deed, to have divuIged it and

burial. They would not have SUI
fered as much, could they have had
the foresight to have seen this. We
do not approve of ticking human life,
but there are some instances where
the provocation is so strong as to
render the deed almost justifiable.

The wheat deal of last few DAYS
emphasizes the inordinate greed of
man, when unrestrained by laws
protecting society against his cupid
ity Possibly the shrewd cornerer
will add seveaal million dollars to his
wealth on this deal, while the whole
people will be taxed to this end. A
tax on the staff OF life, bread, to en-
rich man already rich, and one who
is in no way a benefactor to society,
or else he would not extract gold
in such way. His capital was en-
ployed for no legitimate commercial
end to accomplish the corner. His
money had nothing to do with pro-
duclng, transporting or distributing
the commodity, but as parasite he
steps in and by his immense none
tary power dictates a certain amount
of tribute and it has to come under
existing conditions The states have
already begun to pass laws banishing
such speculations, notably the buck
et-shop Adjustments, and kindred
acts, but it will take federal inter
veation to reach a crime against
commerce of the type under discus
sion. VIII q republican Congress an
administration devise and pass and
then enforce such a law is the en-
crossing question now. Penalize the
ofense, and send the real offender to
the penetentiary. Go behind any
corporate name used as a screen and
take him, who is responsible.
