Last evening the young people of
the Senior Epworth League spent
several delightful hours at the Hal
| lowe'en party given the Epworth
/ League and their friends by Miss
Mabel Bachelor, the newly elected
| first vice president, at her home on
Exposition street. Several of those
present were dressed in ghostly
| looking costumes, and it was more
| than the most of those present could
| do to tell who was who. One of the
| most beautiful and bewitching cos
tunes was that of Miss Nan Brooks.
Halloween party games were played
to the enjoyment of all present, and
| it was much fun to see the different
ones get possession of an apple by
diving into pan of water with their
mouths or by biting an apple sus-
pended from the ceiling by a string.
The Bachelor home was beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion and
during the evening cocoa and waters
were served by Miss Mabel Bachel-
der, assisted by Mrs. o. c. Tignor,
Miss Ola Floyd, Miss Nan Brooks.

The lawn was prettily decorated
with Japanese lanterns. The young
people played drop the handkerchief

stincts
Is 1t impossible that we begin to rid
ourselves of these causes? That question
is answered by an analysis of the causes
themselves
a.. Feasibility is a pleasant looking
word, on the mere ground that it has
many syllables. But it's significance in
modern legal practice. as indicated in a
famous criminal trial, is "brainstorm. .
Children call it getting mad" Now get
ting mad has even been taken as proof of
gentlemanly instincts. leading among
other things to profane swearing, to much
swelling of the neck, as in the case of
the turkey gobbler, ana to our unfortu-
nate inability to see straight, either mem
tally or physically. This may be consid-
cred congenitai irascibility. In certain
instances 1t has been neglected in child
hood, become ungovernable in YOUTH
humiliating in middle life, and hateful In
old age. One curious <thing about 1t
is its persistent growth; another is It's
essential vulgarity. Quite large pro-
portion of children fall into what the old
nurse used to call tantrums. and are
cured by patient but firm treatment. For
control Is normal when the nervous sys-
tenn is properly nourished, and the duty
of the parents Is fairly plain In every
case. So that when we find grown-up
people complaining of having no self
control we may be sure either that they
were poorly trained in childhood or else
that they lnve allowed themselves to
excuse themselves for failure to control
themselves. till the habit has become
fixture, both to lose control and then
to apologize to self No. for the BRAIN
storm in self No. l.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-09

Now we ought not merely to apologize
and excuse ourselves, or even to be heart
lily ashamed of ourselves; but we must
individually establish self-control. There
Is no use in calling for city ordinances
to abolish righteousness so long as
large number of us hypocriticaiiy culti-
vate, or at least permit, the insane rage
that blinds intelligence and impels to
sudden deeds from which there is no re-
treat, II the intelligent citizen has BRAIN
storms and Is excused, the ignorant citi-
zen may easily learn to excuse BRAIN
storms that leads to deeds of blood.
Some one will say that it is altogether
matter of provocation. The implication
is that there are provocations which ex-
cuse brainstorms, and so 1t becomes a
question of casuistry and psychic sym
pathy to determine whether in a given
case the slayer was provoked beyond
possible endurance. But provocations
are precisely the things of which the
community takes charge through its
police system. that there may be order in
the city. And most certainly provocfttion
is dangerous plea to make for the man
who assaults his fellow. Is heS not civ
ilized? Is he still barbarous unit, un-
dertaking to wreak private vengeance
in defiance of community interets? Then
treat him as a barbarian--deny him the
protection of the community whose moral
foundations he disregards. Is he so ill
poised as to be unsafe for the rest of
men? Is he so easily provoked that his
conduct traverses the conscience of the
community? Then let that fact avail to
place him in restraint till he learns that
morality is adherence to community
ideals. And do not wait till he kills or
is killed. Your Thaws and other persons
who suffer from variations of psychic

(2). Passing to the much decried habit
of carrying firearms, 1t is remarkable
that few if any of the laments are shed
on the shoulders of our police. Brave,
fine, splendid fellows they are, but the
gun they carry is a concession to some-
thing neither brave, fine, nor splendid
The coroner has recently drawn attention
to the number of homicides committed
by officers of the law. An accurate
knowledge of all the facts in each case
would. / suppose, enormously increase
our estimate of the coroners acumen.
But it must be remembered that when a
negro is killed by men sent to arrest him
we usually get no information from the
deceased as to the order of events. Sur
viving members of the family moreover
desire to stay on good terms with the
officers as also do bystanders, generally
of the same race.
An appeal is due to the manhood of
the police that they depend on moral
qualities instead of on the menace of a
fusillade. In civilized places the police do
not carry firearms. Until the police are
dsarmed the public will need, or think
they need, similar protection" The
weakness of Mr.. Weatherly's ordinance
is its recognition of class licensed to
break the law, privileged to do the un-
social thing, to carry guns.
