wees, IaulCS, weaknesses OF humanity, y,
making of these a source of revenue.
By the aid of the papers, by perfidious
publicity and deadly insinuations, the
master blackmailer pitilessly exacts
his booty from victims who certainly
never will lodge a complaint against
them. These crimes demand patient
and often difficult preparation, and for
their success the assistance of several
persons is necessary. If civilization
extends the field of crime, it also les
sens the number that can be commit
ed alone. Should we then apply pen
alties to those who form associations
for these projects? ''
eve reply negatively, except in ex-
traordinary cases. When social peril
is such that it is necessary to prevent
it by any means then exceptions to the
common laws may be made. The
safety of society does not require
such measures by associations formed
of ordinary delinquents. Let the gov
ernment, if forewarned of the exist
ence of an international association of
criminals, warn other governments,
but that the judicial authorities
should be called on to attach penal
ty for anything which is not an accom-
plished crime We can not admit.
"Complicity is most frequently to be
found among habitual criminals. Re-
cidivists often bind themselves togeth-
er in the prisons where they are con-
fined and make their plans for future
operations. The tendency to associ-
ate themselves is therefore TO be
found among the most dangerous
criminals and for that reason the law
maker should make completely an ag-
gravating circumstance.
Grimes of completely are increas-
ing, especially those that rest on Gu
pidity and swindling. Crimes of pas
sion are usually the work of single
person. The increased danger from
crimes of completely acords another
reason for increasing the penalty in
those cases.
"The French penal cade Furnishes
those who have shared in a felony or
misdemeanor for that felony or mis-
demeanor. In five cases ~it may ex-
ceptionally increase the punishment
by reason of number of the guilty; in
case of rebellion, when the crime is
committed by more than 20 persons;
in case of mendicity; in case of viola
ton Of public morals; in case of pill
lage; in case of theft. 1t is this idea
which we propose to make more gen
eral. We therefore express the fol-
lowing opinion:
81. 1t does not seem to be in con-
formity with the spirit of penal law
to make of any preliminary agreement
to break the law a special crime.
"II Since it is seen that there is
an increase of crimes in which there
is completely; and since the latter are
the deeds of habitual criminals who
are most dangerous to society, there
is reason to consider completely in
crime an aggravating circumstance
and to apply to those who have shared
in it a special penalty, beyond that
which they would have incurred had
thev committed the crime alone"

COW killed by a railroad train. In

railroad called.

deceased was a very docile and valua-

most persuasive claim-agentle manner,
"and we sympathize with you and
your family in the loss. But Mr.. Oh
sen, you must remember this: Your
COW had no business being upon our

property and when she invaded them
she became trespasser. Technically
speaking, you, as her owner, became a
trespasser also. But we have no de-

ALIMONY AND DIVORCE.

Now comes a New York woman who
is sure to be charged with "woman's
inhumanity for woman" protesting to
be shocked at the multiplicity of di-
vorces and proposing a remedy in the
total abolition of alimony, says Omaha
Bee. She conceives the prospect of
alimony to be the chief cause of d.
vorces granted to women and de-
simple graft. Undoubtedly many de-
signing women can consistently take
no exceptions to these charges, and
it is not to be questioned that some
INSCRIPTIONS lawyers will cooperate
with women for the purpose of OBJ
tanning financial emolument through
the operation of the divorce courts,
but that alimony, or the desire to OBJ
tain alimony, constitutes the prevail
ing cause and purpose of women
seeking legal separations from their
husbands, it is hard to believe, any
more than it would be wise, safe or
just to do away with the law provid-
ing for alimony. Society has come
to recognize that there is such thing
as a justifiable divorce, and there is
certainly such a thing as woman
needing and deserving support from
the man from whom she seeks and OBJ
tains a,divorce, and to abolish alimony
would work hardship on many women
and children, alike blameless for the
causes as well as the fact of the sep.
aration.-Brookhav Leader.

Theatrical people being known gen.

Nothing is said of persons frequenting

Men in all walks of life hope to

Regarding Child Labor Law.


Robert Blaylock. dramatic director
in the North Brothers Stock COM
pany, today said that since he ex-
pressed his opinion several weeks ago
regarding the child labor law, great
many persons have taken time to tele-
phone or write to him that they are
agreed with him on the repeal of the
law as regards the stage child.
MANY persons intend to use what
ever influence they might have" said
peal of this law at the coming session
of the legislature. I have no doubt
myself of the success of my efforts in
the cause, as any man who is brainy
enough to represent his district in the
senate or house can see readily when
properly approached with an honest
argument on the subject that the law
IS wrong in this particular phase and
needs remodeling.
while Kansas is the one state in
which I am interested it is not the
only one in which the law exists. The
question of child labor as applied to
the stage is being discussed in a great
many states at the present time and the
persons who always have been relig-
iously opposed to the theater now are
being given an insight to the workings
and methods of the institution and are
learning that the theater and its peo-
pie is one of the greatest organiza-
lions in the world, patroniZed and
supported by all classes. all denom-
nations. and condemned only by those
whose Puritanica1 teaching has been
so thorough that they deem It a sin
to laugh on Sunday and to whom the
sight of a child entering the theater,
much less being part of it, is hor-
ribIe. Such persons never have been
of real use in the world.
"a few days ago a Judge in Louis
Vile, KY. said the child's place is at
home. He claims the chiId's mind is
not properly developed in such en-
vfronment as the theatrical sphere and
advises parents in the art of caring
for their offspring. Like many 9TH
ers. he believes that members of the
theatrical profession because of their
close association and nature of their
work, are all morally bad and that
the social evil is their one ambition
