1t is not so. as you may ask many a
married man, and he will tell you
that his wife was his mainstay in
trouble and hard times and that he
owes a great deal, if not all, of his
success to her. He was not influ-

the good, true man he was. he got
up and gave them battle and with
the help of his wife he won.

for one sex to blame the other for

Editor of The Press-In your is
sue of the 18th, l read very care
fully what Mr.. Denton has to say,
and If he wishes to go back as far
as history will take him he will
find that conditions have almost al
ways been the same. There have
always been the rich, the poor, the
kind and the hard of heart, and
there has always been the innocent
child, the youth and later the up
right, honorable man. the bachelor
or the bum.
do not say that know all of the
reasons why these things are SO,
but | can tell you of few of the
main ones. In the first place, Mr..
Denton, you must know that some
are born who are more prone to be
shiftless, lazy and selfish than are
others. I will beg you not to class
the bachelors with the buns, in this
instance, as the two are as widely
separated as the poles. The bum,
as a rule, is lazy and shiftless as
well as selfish; his very life tells
you this, but 1t does not say that he
is a criminal or wants to be one.
But his environment is not made
for him. He makes it himself. 1t
there is a church on one side of the
street and saloon on the other he
is free to walk down this street and
choose which place to enter; If he
goes in either it is of his own free
will and because a pal might invite
him in to have drink with him. He
need not go if he does not wish.
Bachelors are also by choice. Some
are too selfish to share their pros
perity with mate or ask her to
share their adversely. Some think
a woman would only marry for

MRS. SUZANNE ELLA WOOD DEAN.

CHICAGO. Ill.,, May 16.-Some
psychological kinks are up for
inspection in the trial Of Mrs.
Suzanne Ella Wood Deans suit to
win a widows dover right in the
million-dollar estate of her late
husband, John E. Dean. She is SUI
ing the heirs. who are Deans four
grown daughters. The reason that
Mrs. Dean didn't get huge slice
of the fortune that dover rights or
dinarily would have given her. is
that before marrying Mr.. Dean she
signed away her dover, and &C.
cepted a legacy of only $4,000.
And now Mrs. Dean protests that
she was imposed upon financially
because her love for Mr.. Dean
blinded her to the sacrifice she
was making.
The suit will practically decide
whether a woman has a legal right
to yield every interest to love.

Proclaiming . New King.

For the second time in ten years Eng
land today hears a king proclaimed,
with all the ancient ceremonies which
mark the formal announcement to the
people that the ruling monarch has
passed away and another taken his
place. In accordance with custom
originating in the early days when
communications were slow and difficult,
the king Is proclaimed simultaneously
in the center of each of the three king
doIns. England. Scotland and Ireland.
1t is significant of the conservatism of
the British that they allow no changes
in the physical conditions. no advances
in methods and improvements in facili-
ties to alter in the slightest degree the
ritual of the kingship. In the old times
when the king died horsemen set out
Immediately from the place of his de-
mise to carry the news to the far COR
ners of the realm. If the monarch's ILL
ness was prolonged these couriers were
held in waiting. with horses saddled,
ready for the final word to start. each
for a particular part of the kingdom
from which the news could be most
readily distributed. They were charged
with the functions of heralds, and their
announcements were in the nature of
proclamations. They carried to the
people not merely an item of news. but
an official announcement of the gravest
Importance. the immediate communica-
ton of which was urgent in the in
terest Of the dynasty and possibly the
preservation Of national peace.
Despite the fact that the news of Ed
wards death has for many hours been
known to the people Of England. Scot
land, Ireland and Wales. doubtless in
the most remote corners today IT is
formally proclaimed in accordance with
the ancient method. The offcial who
carries this word to the subjects of
George " may travel by train, by motor
or even by airplane II he so desires.
but he will be a direct representation
of the ancient horseman who rode his
frothing steed swiftly through the
country, over moors and through the
forests, across the mountain lines and
through the streams. in order that men
might know that the mortal clay that
wore a crown had passed and that an
other ruler reigned in the British capi-
tai And in all the ceremonies that are
to follow, in the days to come of the
making Of a new king, there will be
continual survivals of the old customs.

Thomas F. Byrnes was an important
member of the New York community for
many years. He stood for all that was
straight and square in police work. As
chief inspector he was CHARGED with q
detective duty that brought him into con-
tact with the criminals of all classes who
infested the metropolis. No man knew
the crooks OF all degrees better than he.
His personal acquaintance with these
malefactors was remarkable. He knew
them by name. knew their antecedents.
and their different ways Of working and
their criminal records. He was an en-
