Alonzo Blair yesterday instructed
the jury to dismiss the case against
DR.. William B. Craig, charged with
the murder Of DR.. Helene knabe at

DR.. Helene knabe was one of the
most prominent doctors in the state
and at one time was connected with
the state board of health. She was
found dead in her apartment in In
dianapolis on the morning of Octo-
Der "a. 1911. by her office girl. Miss
Katherine Mcpherson.

mild and sane variety, the writer pro-
tests against the adoption Of any
thing like militancy On the part of
women to get the vote. The parade
at Washington was of such a nature,
and it is we'll for Woman-suffrage
that It did, if it make the sex pause
and consider the underlying reasons
fcl 9on-success. They may also heed
the caution that it is not thus that
woman will make her best appeal
for justice.
We have long thought that the suf-
frage question should be threshed cut
On ore argument alone, the great ar
gumert of the American Revolution:
"NC taxation without representation. "
Consistently, vigorously, increasingly
pushed for that reason alone, woman
suffrage would be established on The
basis of cOmmOn-Sense and justice,
unirammeled by considerations of
whether the Women's votes would be
gO91 CT bad. That matter would set
tie itself, after justice was done wo-
mans rights of property, and if The
Woman-vote proved to be no appre-
ciable factor for good, at least the
men would never be in the position
to throw the first stone!

THE INSANlTARY VS.. THE UN-
SLIGHTLY.

Dr. l.. G. Stirling, of Baton Rouge,
has struck the nail on the head, not
only with reference to the dispute
between Col Parker and DR.. Bowling,
but en- many other matters when he
says: "The learned doctor, who is
responsible for this report of inSpCc-
ton seems not to distinguish between
that which is insanitary and that
which is merely unsightly." These
terSG words draw attention to a dis
tinCtipn, which the sanitarians IN
their OVer-zeal for reform and per-
lection do not make. Because an
object is unsightly does not prove it
to be insanitary. A building may be
old and ugly, not ideal in any way,
but its occupancy may not be preju-
dcial to health. Grounds may be far
from affOrding copies of an Italian
landscape and yet may afford light
and air, if not beauty. Health ap-
plianceS may be antiquated but are
not necessarily useless. A man may
get as clean from bath in a wood
ell tub, for which he has carried the
water painfully from the kitchen
stove, as he can in a porcelain bath
with hot and cold water faucets near
at hand.
Even from the unsightly one may
achieve the sanitary. The trouble
with our sanitarians is that while
they show highly commendable zeal
for advancement in hygiene by all of
the people, yet is their zeal without
wisdom, as they show a scOrn of
ways and means.
For has it ever occurred to the av-
erage person that cleanliness is The
most expensive of attainments. Per-
feet cleanliness involves a great deal
of york amid ideal surroundings,
which also mean untold work that
costs. My house and yard may not
be attractive to you because it is
dull, implanted and disordered. But
to paint and wash the one, and
to put the other into perfect order
means work and expense to which I |
am unequal. Hence in dealing with
all sanitary problems, the human
equation and it's deficiencies must be |
taken into account.

COL. PARKER FLAWS BOWLING.

Col. c. Harrison Parker, president
of the board of control, is out in
letter OF defiance to DR.. Oscar BOWL
ing, in which is said very plainly that
it takes more brain to run Parker's
job than Dowling's. He explains The
situaI on of the board of control as
to having to run the prisons on Dor
roWed money, owing to flood disas-
terS, but says in spite Of that and
other adverse conditions, the health
and death rate is less than it is out
side. Col. Parker ridicules among
other statements of the inspector that
describing the tuberculosis hospital
at Angola as not "Well-cOnstructed
aud seems to be built of inferior lum
Der" when the building is of brick
with metal roof, and lower floor new
concrete DR.. l.. G. Stirling, prison
physician within the Walls, corrObo-
rates Col. Parker's statements, as 10
conditions in his province, saying:
''In conclusion, would say that the
learned doctor who is responsible for
his report of inspection seems not
to distinguish between that which is
i1sanitary and that which is merely
unsightly. Owing to the limitations
upon the finances of the penitentiary
board No effort has been made to take
any steps or make any changes mere
l. for the sake of appearance. How
ever, every effort possible has been
made to safeguard the health Of The
prisoners, with what success, an cX-
animation of the health records of
the prison will show
IF we indulge in the none too vic
lent presumption that the object of
sanitation is the maintenance of sat
isfactory health conditions, then that
object has undoubtedly been accom-
plishcd, for better health conditions
could not be obtained anywhere.
"If, in view of these conditions
and tEese results obtained, we were
to accept as true the criticisms con-
tanned in the inspection then we
would be forced to admit that dirt
and filth were not a menace to
health"
