CRIPPEN'S COMPANION GETS
VAUDEVILLE OFFER.

The shock experienced by the news
paper reader when he encounters the
report that Miss Leneve, the oompan-
ION of DR., CripPen, has been offered
$1,000 a week by a New York vsude-
vile manager Is, naturally, somewhat
severe. It Is pretty difficult to as
sociate the pleasure giving stage with
anything even remotely connected with
the CTippen case, and to picture the
poor, broken girl Of the tragedy be
hind the fOOtlights, creating amuse-
ment for an audience of American men,
women, and children, Is simply revolt
ing. The most remarkable thing about
the incident, however. Is not that
theatrical manager had the nerve to
make the offer, but that numerous Of
fers of similar character had not al
ready been made by others.
Nothing seems to be too sacred and
but little seems to be too repUlsive
for exploitation on the stage. But
don't lay all the blame on the occasion
al theatrical manager who overstePs
the bounds Of conscience. He Is par
ticeps CTiminis, but we must GO long
way behind him TO fix the real re-
sponsibiity. As long as there are
enough people to pay him profit,
and as long as the rest Of Us don't
stop him, he's going to exploit human
tragedy, no matter where he finds it.

WHEN HUNTING AN EXCUSE.
BLAME THE AUTO.

Back IN the middle ages, legend has
e that in a certain, central European
village the people kept a donkey, on
which was laid the blame for all mis-
fortunes If crops failed, they beat
the donkey. IF food and famine came.
they beat the donkey If d mans wife
left him, he beat the donkey. IF rob
bers entered his house and stole his
goods, he beat the donkey. Whatever
calamity befell, the donkey came in
for a beating. History does not re-
cord whether this tradition, warped
and twisted through the centuries. ex-
plains the modern habit of designat-
ing any luckless human as "the goat.

proved TO be philanthropists, the farm
ers are shown 10 be almost beggarea,
the middle man Is caught IN the act
Of struggling to make both ends meet
all by the explanation that the coun-
try is bankrupting itself buying auto
mobiles on credit
Confdentially, a large part of all
this is what Is popularity known as
bunk The automobile undOubted-
" has caused many persons who
couldn't afford it to indulge themselves
in Iuxuries they never enjoyed before,
but IN eondemning the auto for being
responsible for such practices, it IS
Just as well to bear IN mirid the wise
observation of the Saturday Evening
Post, which, IN discussing this very
question, pertinently observed that be
cause some Of the common people, who
create the country's wealth, are, for
the first time, enjoying the excitement
Of specializing IN it-Playing on
a margin, as It weTe-it Is not neces-
sariIy true that the country is head
ed straight for the demnition bow
vows. The Post Is inclined to think
the automobile howl comes lOUdest
from the relatively few people who
have heretofore held a dOuble-riveted
cinch on the business Of mOrtgaging
the future for the pleasure and profit
of the present. Naturally, the spec
tacIe of an ordinary citizen doing, even
on a small scale, what they've been
doing on broad scale for years, iTri-
tates them.
Another interesting thing about this
automobile craze Is that the argument
concerning the non-PrOductiveness OF
the pleasure car isn't wholly sound.
The automobile ON the farm is pro-
duetive of benefits of nation-w wide IN
port. If It makes farm life more at
tractive, If It keeps the young man a
farmer, If 1t brings good roads, there's
serious question whether the resulting
benefits don't pay the country's auto
mobile bin every year. Then there's
the health OF the autOist to be con
sidered. If automobiles take out into
the fresh AIR people who would not
otherwise 60, they may very possibly
pay for themselves time and again
through their influence as cOnserveTs
OF public health
OF one thing we may be certain:
The Automobile has taken up perma-
nent residence IN our midst If we've
gone temporarily crazy over It and are
hurting ourselves, we'll soon be forced
10 realize our folly and adjust our
selves Some day the fellows who
have bought automobiles on borrowed
money are going TO have to foot the
bill Maybe lot Of them viii get pinch
ed, and maybe their families viii suffer
temporarily, but they'll live through
It Broadly speaking, We probably
won't even be very much Jared by
whatever happens It's much more
probable that the country VIII settle

cording as It can affrd 1t, and that the
automobile industry viii settle down
to supplying q more or less steady and
legitimate demand for its product.
Just now, however, the most inter
esting phase of the situation is the
fact that the automobile Is the great
