BERE3FORD STILL ANXIOUS.
Admiral Lord Charles Bsresiord, for
so years figure 10 the British navy,
was the guest of honor yesterday at a
luncheon given at the Lawyers Club, 10
New York, under the suspices of the
Pilgrims Of the United SAFES.
la a brief address delivered at the
conclusion OF the luncheon Lord Bsres-
ford took occasion to refer to the ElEo-
mean situation. he remarked that Es
far a. G1at Britain was concerned the
sItuation look somewhat "red ahead. "
He added that 10 view Of this situation
there wss nothing else to do bat for the
nation to come forward with great
scheme of imperial defense.
"What We want" continued the a1-
mirsl, 'is that We shall hold what we
have, Supremacy at ssa means life
or death for the British empire. 1t Is
quite different with the United States,
which would, by its own natural re-
sources, take csre of the nations needs,
but With us the question oil supremacy at
ses is most important; in fact, 1t is 8
question o. life or death. l! is not 30
much that we should retain a big feet
for the purpose Of participating In war,
but fer The purpose Of preventing war.
Surely the time has arrived when we
should come together for the purpose OF
preventing war. 1t is most important
for the Engish-spesking nations 10 pre-
vent war. l must confess that L feel
rather nervous about the future. as 1t
appears to ME to be sOmewhat "red. !"
But cannot see why it is not possible
for the FIVE great Engish-spesking na.
tions to formulate q scheme Of imperial
defense which would not be considered
aggressive, but simply for our own in
teTes's"
Lord Beresford referred to the recent
cruise of the American Aset around the
world He was pleased that America &C
complished that iea. so well, he said, as
he believed that oftlimes when war ap-
peared on the horz)n a demonstration Of
that character bal tendency to restore
peace.

ried woman who goes wrong is
not Marguerite, 1t is Sappho.
1t is Faustine, it is Lais, it is

Northern Lights" is the play
at the Seattle Theater this week.
1t has always been a favorite
with the popular priced patrons
in Seattle and is one of the best
of all American frontier dramas.
Were it offered in a $500 priced
theater, the production that Miss
Herman and her associates are
giving at the Seattle Theatre
would make good. True, the
star has not a part this week that
enables her to show her ability
as an emotional actress, but her

tinel, who murder for chival-
rous reasons are as brave as the
average but few or none of them
are brave enough to carry their
chivalry into the court room by
sealing their lips. Some of them
act deliberately and not in pas
sion. 1t is strange that these
do not reflect that love Of ones
own life is an even stronger mo-
tive than honor and do not search
for other ways of protecting the
fair name of their friend"
Another strong argument that
should appeal to a jury of lay
men is the fact that in a great
many of the cases where the un-
written law is pleaded, the
woman in the case" whose
honor is sought to be protected,
often deserves a worse fate than
the companion of her laisons.
When a mans wife goes wrong
it is not usually the despoiler of
her virtue that is responsible.
Most often is it the case that the
woman weary of her husband S
attentions, seeks and encourages
the caresses of strange men who
cannot always be too severely
blamed for yielding where there
is not only no opposition but
where there is often the most
tempting encouragement.
A woman correspondent in the
New York American, of April
II, 1909, presents some unusual
views from the standpoint of her
knowledge of the weaknesses of
her own sex, that should be
widely circulated.

Tt NAV be taken as an axiom that
the only wives who are ever led
astrav are those who are perpet-
uallv on the lookout for temp
ter. Only those married ladies'
are made love to who give men
a tin that they are not averse to
listening, and only those are
involved in dubious situations
who sidestep from the straight
and narrow path. Married wom-
en- are perfectly aware OF the
danger of playing with fire, and
if they start the conf1agratlon
that burns up their honor and
good repute no one can excuse
them by saying that they did not
know what they were about. In
this country at least, every hon
est wife is safe and every faith
less wife meets her lover half
way. Hence, the absurdity of a
custom that takes a mans life
and lets his alder and abettor go
free. "-Central Law Journal.

BENCH AND BAR

Inc OuWrlCCen Law n WlCCIl-
craft heresy of the nineteenth
century. The unwritten law is
as great a fallacy, to our mind
as was the witchcraft heresy in
the seventeenth century. Sure
ly, subsequent centuries, as they
look back upon us, will be in
clined to tap their heads and de-
plore the practical ignorance of
a people who encourage man
to kill his fellow man over a
woman's faithlessness, and let
the woman go forth from court
with a feeling of contempt for
the law?
It is the purpose of the Cen
trail Law journal to combat this
heresy and offer from time to
time practical objection to its eff
fectiveness as an argument-ob-
iections that will appeal. of
course, to a jury, rather than to
a court. For assuredly any court
or Judge thereof, who would
give this perniscious and lawless
doctrine even the faintest recog-
milton is false to his oath of of
flee which compels him to en-
force the law and to set his face
like a flint against any principle
which. encourages lawlessness.
We will in the beginning, eX-
cept from our attack those in
stances where a man kills an
other man in protecting the vir-
tue and innocence of a woman,
especially of any female member
of his family from attempted in
suit or assault. This is not the
unwritten law, tits the law sane
toned by every consideration of
public policy and private right.
Possibly also the despeiler has
already robbed a woman of her
virtue and where immediate pur-
suit is begun and the despoiler
killed in the heat of passion, by
the man to whom she stood re-
lated by any of the sacred social
ties of this life, the law should
reduce this crime to allow degree
of manslaughter or the jury be
willing to stretch their consc-
fences by showing extreme leni-
ency in dealing with the offend
er. But outside of these excep-
lions, which really are not ex-
eeptions at all, there is no place
for the unwriten law.
Chivalry and gallantry are US
ually given as the high ground
upon which this rule rests. Alb
solutely impossible! No man,
really brave or chivalrous, who
had killed a man to avenge
girls honor, would if he ever
loved that girl for whom he was
thus endagering his life, call
upon her to lay bare to the gaze
of scornful public the secret
sins in her life and to offer on
the altar of her devotion for
him, that which is dearer TO her
than life, in order to save his
miserable head. Rather would
he desire her mistakes to remain
covered and to go to his doom
conscious of the sacrifice which
he has made for her.
Nor do the women whose hon
I. or is thus thought to be so chiv-
alrously protected always relish
a sort Of gallantry which so cow
ardly shows the white feather
when it appears in a court of
Justice. Not long ago a man
killed man somewhere on the
north Pacific coast and escaped
the gallows by saying he did it
to protect the honorof his dau-
ghter. Not long afterward that
