witness stand, people begin TO admire
his nerve" and they 20 a step further
and begin TO sympathize with and
hope well for the living and forget
the dead.
We hear IL stated Uf the dead man:
THE trouble with him was that his
aim was bad, he knew there was TO be
difficulty and he made the fatal
mistake Of not getting the drop on
his adversary and shooting first"
Two men engage Ia a pistol fight
and he who Is killed has failed. He
who has done the killing Is successful
in this particular line OF work, and to
our eternal shame, IL must be
admitted, that failure to kill arouses
contempt and success 10 murder wins
admiration.
Our error In this Is that In our
savagery we do not know what success
Is and that which we call failure is
often triumph.
The man who knows his life may be
10 danger and yet scorns to take the
advantage that even the law grants
him, is brave soul, and yet his very
bravery may cost him his life. When
he is dead the living say he was a
good man, but--well-he's dead.
Our twentieth century point OF
view, which we think is the civilized
one, is poisoned by the savage ia.
fluence Of thousands OF years ago,
when he who had the biggest war
club, or he who was strongest 10 bis
wrist or grip was the leader among
! men.
We have tenth century habits which
even the laws OF the twentieth
century will not make us give up.
Murder Is not entirely due to the
lax administration OF the law, though
this has much to do with its frequency.
1t exists because we think we are
civilized when we are not.
We hold up to ourselves one
standard OF civilization. and yet our
actions are governed by the impulses
OF savages.
But in the meantime the machinery
OF the law can be materially improved.
When our legislators conclude that
there Is something else 10 life except
election laws and politics, they may
frame a law That will put a premium
on intelligence in the jury box.
They may enable the State to have
the right to change OF venue as we'll
as the defense. They may reduce the
number OF challenges and put the
State and the defense on equal terms.
Ina word, II the law.abiding people
and the law.abiding legislators would
make up their minds, once for ell,
that the killing industry must be
stopped, ways aud means could be
found to stop it.

MR. ALFRED AUSTIN ON WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.

Among the latest opponents OF the
female suffrage movement is Mr..
Alfred Austin, the poet laureate, who
has been writing TO the press in
vigorous terms against the granting
OF votes to women. Mr.. Austin seems
to fear that woman's lmpulsive nature
might lead her, should she become
cnfranchised, TO involve England In "A
terrible war, and then stand aside
calmly while the men did the deadly
work, Like true poet, Mr.. Austin
breads to see the day when woman
shall have lost her feminine charm
and shall have developed masculine
qualities which would make her an
impossible figure in dainty verse
on love. in Dantc's day. said Mr..
Austin, In a lecture he once gave
before the Dante Society, Florentine
women left their mirrors without
adding any colorlng TO their cheeks,
mothers tended their cradles, m atrons
and maids worked at their distalls.
You will probably think this is not
very poetic; IL so, venture to reply
that II seems 10 me that 1t is The
really p0tic conception Of woman must
include her dedication--I do not say
her entire dedication-to domestic
dutiesn

THE FLOURIsHlNG INDUSTRY or
KILLING AND THE CAUSE

Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Killing j. now the most thriving
industry in this part OF the country.
Our killers have estimated the cost
and have figured the danger OF hang
Ing into a negligible quantity. What
with the delays Of the law, good
lawyers for the defense, inefficient
criminal methods Ia the courts,
barbarous laws for the selection Of
jures, the murderer is in less danger
OF hanging than is the average
pedestrian on the street In danger OF
being hit by stray bullet.
Killings have become so frequeht
that they no longer shock the public.
A newsboy, standing on the corner
of Main street and Madison avenue
yeste rday afternoon, was crying out
at the top Of his voice, "All about the
big murder" That newsboy did not
have the quality Of originality to
develop a novelty in the disposal OF
his wares. Every day is murder day.
Some day II he should 20 there and
cry out mot aman killed in twenty
four hours In the Memphis territory!'
he might do a bigger business.
They kill them next door to the
city hall, shoot them In the parks.
Out in the country they kin them
near the court house. In the villages
they kill them in the leading planta-
tion stores. Up in Nashville they
draw and shoot and kill under the
shadow of the capitol.
The Commercial Appeal printed the
story OF the Smith killing yesterday
morning. In the same issue 1t printed
a story OF examining trial that had
been held at Shannon, Mississippi,
where one man, ffty-dve years old
had been killed by thirty years old,
aud the man thirty years old Is held
under bond of SO, 200.
The burden of the defendants plea
was that the elder man reached for
his pocket and he shot him through
the heart.
That "motion towards. pocket" ex.
cuse has done duty so long that
really it ought to be pensioned and
retired
The Smith case at Columbus started
along about the same route, until
an aroused opinion brought vigorous
prosecution before Judge who
happened to be an able man, and the
result for the defendant was
disastrous.
There is no necessity for changing
the law as to self defense, II the law
of self defense is strictly construed.
But the law OF self defense has been
twisted and made to do duty SO often
in the case OF cold. blooded murder
that the mere suggestion Of It on the
part OF the defendant 10 murder case
Immediately cause the community to
accept the statement that he acted
In fear Of his own life as true and to
give a corresponding amount OF
sympathy.
And there is another psychological
weakness in mankind that operates
against the enforcement Of the law.
When the defendant goes into court
with desperate case against him
and his lawyers begin TO light hard
aud the defendant himself puts on a
bold front and displays nerve" on The

Robin Catches Fish.

W. L. Nolan of St. Johnsbury, assist
ant superintendent OF the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company, is authority for
the following story. says the Hardwick
Gazette: While riding in his automobile
down the river road, Mr. Nolan noticed
a rock in the Lamoille, around which
myriads of little minnows were swim
ming to and fro in the shallow water.
From a nearby fence, robin, which
seems to have strong sporting instincts,
was viewing the situation. Suddenly
bright idea occurred to the bird. Flying
to the rock he waded into the shallow
water, dexterously hshed out minnow,
walked back, killed it by rapping its
head against the rock. Mr.. Nolan
adds in conclusion that he has seen other
Hardwick robins do the same thing.
