Mrs. Edith Melber, whose trial for
the murder OF her son. George, has
occupied the attention OF the whole
country. appears TO be but one victim
OF another kind OF dementia Ameri-
cana peculiar TO our fast evolving
civilization. In a measure We can
hardly say that society is utterly
blameless for the fact that so many
terrible crimes are committed. The
newspaper reports show that this
woman. now only 25. was left TO shift
for herself at the age OF 13 years.
What chance, please would such a
young person, especially a girl. have
for maturing into else than a moral
derelict? Here We have an instance
OF a waif turned adrift, OF her mar
riage to a tuberculous husband, OF
the birth OF a child and the grewsome
story OF the hopeless struggle OF
this handicapped woman which Ma
vors OF the poorhouse; and perhaps
she looked ahead into far worse
Existence than even this implied.
Is Il any wonder that the devil
stands as n companion by the side o.
the victims OF the improvldence Of
parenthood OF the fact that the sys
tenn OF society is so constituted tina
the weak must fall. not to be pickeS

by the merclless hand OF the Law
