ANOTHER ONE, PERHAPS.
Says The Chattanooga Times:

Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, having
read In the papers of the eminent sue
cess OF Mrs. Howard Gould. IL suing
her husband Of four months. Robert l..
Miss Vanderbilt. like Mrs. Gould, Is an
actress II there isn't q judicial check
to the thing the impetus given to the
alimony business 10 going to keep
good many men OF means on the anx-
ious seat.
Now we suppose we are to have II
all over again, q la Howard Gould, and
wife. The vanderbiits, male and fe-
male are supposed to be literally sup
piled with money. and probably Mr..
Daley refused to allow Mrs. Gertrude
enough to buy gowns with. Probably
$50, 900 a year would have sufacede for
that particular purpose, but we don't
know. 1t takes lot of money to dress
one Of of New York's society women.
Judging from the figures put In evil
dence in the Gould separation suit. and
maybe Daley was stingy. Be that as
It may, she has soon tired of him and
wants to get away and have a big pile
In the form Of alimony to spend as she
pleases. Then II she so wills she can
60 back to the stage and dress to kill.
The unpleasant feature Of 1t all Is
that we are probably to have another
repetition of the Gould case aired in
the courts, perhaps for months. II
there are any skeletons in the Daley
closets we may expect them to be ex-
posed, to the delight and delectation
of the curious and prurient OF both
high and low degree. 1t may be that
Mr.. Daley Is also tired of the part
nership and will not object to a sep
aration. We do not know the extent
of his fortune, nor his Iberality. 1t
is possible that he will be willing and
able to pay her a satisfactory sum to
20 off and lot him alone; and then 1t
may also be the case that he Is too
poor or too stingy to pay what she
asks for and the courts will be called
on to settle It. II that is the case
there will in all probability be an
other suit, and the newspapers will be
telling us of another scandal in high
life" Is there never to be an end of
such things? Never. perhaps. as long
as men and women marry for position
or money.

The Hot weather aud Crime.

6altlmOTe sun.
Since the beginning Of the present
season OF hot weather the newspapers
have been called upon to record an In
creased number of crimes. With the
first hot wave of summer there often
seems to come 81 wave OF crime. No
one can tell exactly :he Psychologist al
and physical connection between the
two, but the coincidence Is often mark
ed. Perhaps the germs of crime i'm
planted in some natures develop into
,ctive' life, Just as DO the seeds in TIL"
earth. The police during hot weather
should be especially vigilant to detect
and arrest the pistol toters." Any
man who carries a pistol about with
him has thu seed of murder In his hea.t
and hot weather may make that seed
bear bloody fruit. We are warned
against typhoid germs in our drinking
wa'"r. but the germs of crime ami evil
are even more dangerous, and every
man and woman should try to keep
them out of their systems. lest under
some influence affecting mind and body
they should spring up suddenly into
active lie and impeI the commission
Of irreparable wrong.

One of our exchanges advances as an

gain much by having them there.

were run on a salary basis everybody
and every expense paid by the county,
the net income would be very much
this should be 50.
Federal offices are cited as an exam
pie of public work done on salary ba-
sis; but examination will show that all
Federal work Is done In the most ex-
pensive manner, the bills being paid by
Uncle Sam and the people not feeling
Lne plHCu.
Then The Montgomery Advertiser
brings out another point Of great in
terest to the tax Pare
Justices Of the peace and constabies-
would have to be paid somehow, Is
The AgeHerald advocating salary
for every justice of the peace and every
constable in Alabama? And in max ng
constables and Justices OF the peace
salaried officers what would be fair
salary for each one. Should the con-
stables and justices of the peace have
their salaries paid w the county or
by the Slater
wouldn't the constables and justices
have a picnic If they all had salaries?
We would never get done paying taxes.
We are convinced that the matter
needs regulation, and in such counties
as Jefferson perhaps new system, but
the newspapers of the State cannot
abolish the esta bliShed system and set
up a better in an off-hand manner.
The Courier believes that the people
should be more concerned about get

than in distressing themselves about
the manner In which they are paid.

All this is grossly unfair. unreason-
take q hold on itself, lest in coming
years It be conducted by knickerbock-
cred boys. Let none be cast out for
age alone.
1t has been but a short while, as
we all remember, since the whole
country was making sport of DR.. Osler
and his theories of an age limit. Sixty
years, we believe, was the limit set
by him for man to be useful in the
affairs of life. After a man has reach
ed his three-score years. contended DR..
Osler, he is no longer of use and
should be chloroformed or otherwise
put out of the way to make room for
younger and stronger men and boys
who, in his judgment, were better quail
fled for the arduous duties of busi-
ness and industrial life. In short. his
theory should be that no man is worth
his room on earth after he has passed
the age OF 60.
DIR. Osler was ridiculed all over the
country for his heartless and Illogical
theory, but as The Post argues, we see
him sustained every day, not actually
to the extent of putting the old men
to death, but virtually so by discharg-
ing and barring them from employ
ment. They are not killed physically
but are simply showed aside and left
to suffer, perhaps. only because they
are looked on as too old for work, and
their places are wanted for younger
men.
This, also, Is not humane or logical.
The old man who has made good" as
the saying is, has to his credit three
important assets: integrity, reliability
and experience. The young man may
on trial show himself possessed of
the first two qualities and can ac-
quire the latter one, but after a man
has given the better part of his life
to a business and is still qualified to
perform its duties, it is little less than
brutal to turn him off to live or starve,
as the case may be, in order that
younger man may be given a position.
