TAKING HUMAN LIFE.

That there are too many killings in
this country is a recognized fact
Some times they kill when it is a
case OF cold-blooded murder. The
business OF killing without justifica
ton. legal, moral or sentimental, is
badly oyerdone in these parts. Even
when one kills in fancied selfdefeHse
or TO right a wrong that has burned
as a heated iron into the soul, one
finds after the deed is done that he
has been poor trial judge, and that
his action resulted from a mistaken
apprehension or from sentiment
which, upon close analysis, did not
Justify the act.
The law itself is not venerated as
1t should. for the reason that man
do not appreciate the foundation o.
law.
The legal rights a man may have
to take another mans life are ex-
ceedingiy limited. And these rights
are not based u.pen the mere action
Of majority of a legislative body.
Murder is a crime not because II
is so stated by statute but the statute
does declare it a crime because the
statute Is merely declaration on
definition OF moral principle which
Is based upon something higher than
the mere findings of men.
Laws protecting life, safeguarding
life, are based upon certain principles
which God Almighty himself set down
in the Old Testament. And though
some men do not believe in God, the
majority of these unbelievers will &C
cept as correct. ethical principles
those things that are taught in
churches as to the duty of man
toward his neighbor.
There are other ways of righting
wrong than by taking human life.
Many mans career is ruined and he
lives the remainder of his life under
a cloud because of acts committed in
passion. There are ideas of honor
which were formerly cherished,
which, fortunately, no longer pre-
vail, The only real protection of
mans honor are the bulwarks about
his character which can he placed
there only by his own thought and
be entirely different mans char
acter Is what he knows himself it is
and 1t is Of his own making. For
man to Stay one who assails his char
acter does not protect that character
In the least and If he stains his
hands with human blood in false as
that by such act he protects
his honor. he drags himself down to
an infinitely lower degree than his
enemy has done by thefalse accusa
ton. Men who commit homicide be-
cause of grievous wrong find that
The wrongs are not thereby righted
Often there is extreme provocation
and sentiment may sometimes justify
homicide, but civilization and high
er and more sensitive individual and
public conscience are more united in
opposition to violence as mode for
settling such matters.

PLAN FOR DELEGATE
WILL Be DISCUSSED
Chamber of Commerce to Take Up
District Representation
in Congress.
SUPPORT FOR OUTING ASKED

The proposition for District Delegate
in Congress will be discussed by the
Chamber of Commerce at its next meet
ing. This announcement was made by
President d. J. Callahan at meeting
of the board Of directors last night.
Not dismayed by the announcement
that the ArmyNavy football game will
be played in New York this year. 1t Is
probable that the Chamber will exert
renewed efforts to have the game played
in Washington next year. A resolution
to this effect was introduced by Albert
Schulteis and was referred to a commit
tee.
1t was stated that the convention Of
the American Bottlers' Protective Asso-
citation will be held here in November
The Builders and Loan Association has
also decided to hold its next convention
in the National Capital.
A plea for better support for the Joint
outing of the Chamber of Commerce and
the Retail Merchants Association to the
Lower Potomac River was made by
r. P. Andrews, chairman OF the commit
tee in charge.
The Board decided 10 donate a silver
cup to the Capital Poultry and Pigeon

fisher RESUMES WORK
FOLLOWING RELEASE
Slayer of W. L. AltdOrfer Spends Day
at His Office and Receives
Many Visitors.
CONFIDENT OF ACQUITTAL

Temporarily a free man, William ].
Fisher, self-admitted slayer of William L.
Altdorfer, the newspaper and magazine
writer, returned yesterday morning to
his employment in the disbursing office
of the Isthmian Canal Commission. He
remained at work during the entire day.
Scores of friends and fellow-employe
visited him during the day and congratu-
lated him upon his release, expressing
their confidence that he would be set
free at the November term of the Circuit
Court of Montgomery County. Maryland.
Andrew ]. Cummings and Fred B.
Rhodes are still serving as bOndsmen for
Mr.. Fisher. Within a few days II is
likely that a surety company will as
sumo the bond. Tuesday night at the
hearing of the habeas corpus proceed
ings, Judge Edward c. Peter refused
to accept bond from the Illinois Surety
Company, as he was doubtful whether the
court was justified in accepting a surety
bond in a criminal case. He said it once
was done in the county, and that the
company "fiunked.'
Mr.. Rhodes, who Is attorney for the
surety company. will file a brief with
Judge Peter probably today, asking that
the company be permitted to assume the
bond and pointing out legal authority
in support Of the request. This brief
Will be filed through Attorney Thomas
Dawson, counsel for Fisher.
The case Of Fisher will come before
the grand jury at Rockville next No
vember. States Attorney W. Outer
bridge Spates has signified that tle State
has in its hands great deal of evidence
that was not presented at the preliminary
hearing on Tuesday. The State probably
will try to make case of manslaughter
against Fisher. The slayer of Altdorfer
is confident he will be acquitted, de-
claring that he acted in self-defense.

citation OF Oldest Inhabitants, at the

that the church might have been saved
also as memorial to his father, the
late Henry A. willard, who not only
was instrumental in securing the funds
for the erection of the church. but
practically organized the church and
put it on a safe foundation.
Mr.. Willard said he felt the disap-
pearance of the church building keenly,
as IL showed to a great extent the re-
guilt of mis- fathers work. Mr. Willard
said he would remove the memorial win
dows from the church wher 1t will be
razed and have them taken to the burial
place Of his parents in New England.
where he would place them in a NOR
taary chapel he would erect in their
memory.

Willard, late vice president of the asso-
Ciation. was presented by his son, Henry
X Willard, TO the association. the ar
