Chapter LxXVI

Chapter LXXV
Dick has been moody and irritable
ever since he lost a big contract be-
cause he had taken my advice and
did not bride some of the officials.
Once in while have caught him
glancing at me with kind of look in
his eyes as though he wished he had
not.
Perhaps, little diary, am mistaken
about Dick, but, oh, do wish he had
a greater sense of honor than he has.
He laughs at things which are hor-
rible to me and l really believe that
he imagines that no, business man
can be successful without getting the
better of the other man.
He seems to think that, now we
are married, | will have to keep up all
the religion, all the social and bust
ness morality for the family. His
creed is that man must supply the
will and women the conscience of the
family.
Last night, about dinner time, he
telephoned to me that he would not
be home to dinner and that it would
probably be ten or eleven o'clock be-
fore he got home.
l went down to dinner and then
came upstairs, got into loose gown
and started to read Together" l
grew so interested in it that l did
not realize how late it was until the
clock struck one.
1t was like a knell.
My heart began to beat like trip
hammer and before my eyes unfolded
the picture of Dicks inert body lying
crumpled up in some dark doorway
or alley where it had been thrown by
the men who had tried to rob him.
Fifty times within the next hour 1
said to myself: 81 won't be so fool
ish. I'll go and undress and go to
bed" And just as many times went
to the window and looked down to the

even had impulses to call up his
father or the police and went to the
telephone to do it when Good Sense
called me fool and l sat down
again.
How the minutes dragged. Every
time the elevator came up held my
breath while waiting for it to stop on
our floor. And only at last when the
sky began to get faint tinge of day.
break the click of the elevator door
told me that it had stopped at last.
The step did not sound like Dicks,
but when heard key fumbling in
the lock l sprang to the door and
opened it.
Dick almost fell on me as he said:
why, Margie, what are you doing up
so late?"
''The same to you, Dick, and more
Of it, l answered.
whats that?" he asked in maud
ling tones, and then l noticed he had
been drinking. He was hardly able
to stand. He came in very solemnly
and said: GO to bed, Madge; it's
too late for little girls to be up"
Then he knocked over one of my
lacquer tables and tried to steady
himself by chair and finally fell on
the sofa and was Immediately asleep.
The relief of finding him alive was
buried in the indignation at his get
ting in such a condition while was
in agony at the thought of something
awful happening to him.
''IIl just let him stay there" said
to myself.
Certainly he did not look pretty
with his mouth open and his clothes
and hair all rumpIed. What would he
have done had he found me in such
a condition some evening when he
came home to dinner?

Rule from the Penitentiaries.

1t is generally admitted that the CRIMINAL code was
made for small percentage OF the population and IT
has never been considered in the interest of law or
morals 10 consult the victims of the code to how
it should be amended for these victims have, as a
rule been found to be abnormal and not as capable
Of writing the law those who do not violate IT.
But the inmates of the Eastern Pententisry of Penn
sylvania have signed petition to the State legsla
ture for the enactment of a Statewide prohibition
law giving as their reason for this action the aesa
tion that they were Influenced by intoxicants when
they committed the crimes for which they
sentenced.
The right of petition extends to all citizens and
most people are willing TO extend that right to those
who have lost their citizenship by conviction of grave
crimes against society. 1t is not probable, however
that the legislature OF Pennsylvania will give more
attention to this petition from thousand convicts
than if will to the voice of the 100000 people in the
State who have never been convicted of crime II
this petition were for modification OF the criminal
code changing the penalty for murder highway rob-
berry rape, and theft from imprisonment to fine no
one would pay any attention it But have abroad
in this country today a considerable number of al
legged sociological teachers who lose sight of the
healthy normal and law-abiding people,-and devote
their whole attention to the reform OF the social out
casts and degeneraes who incapable, from physi-
cal mental moral defects, OF taking responsible
part in a government of the people To such emo
tional enthusiasts the petition of the convicts in the
Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania will appeal

residents of the State should be placed in strait
Jackets as OF reforming the lawless.

A White House Awakening.

The doctrine OF the newer freedom has been pro-
claimed from the White House The gag and the
shackles have this time been stricken from big busi-
ness it exists it is recognized it is not the subject
Of surveillance and suspicion because it is big 1t is
new code of the administration, and it comes from
the President in the form Of protest against the
repellent tactics of the Senate toward two emf
nent in finance and commerce whom he hassselected
as members of the Federal Reserve Board
The Presidents strong stand in support of Mr..
Warburg and Mr.. Jones, whom the Senate insists
en- cross-examining is logical justified courageous,
admirable Unless the Senate has lost confidence in
the President, it is subjecting him and the men he
has selected after long search and profound deliber
alton to suspicion or least humiliation, in adopting
inquistory and dilatory tactics with reference
hrmation
But of far greater importance and effect than con-
Germs Mr. Warburg and Mr. Jones is the declaration
from President Wilson that the Democratic party
"does not regard man as an object of suspicion
merely because he has been connected with great bus
ness enterprises and that 1T is clear to members Of
the Senate as ii is clear to all thoughtful men, that
those-1yho have tried to make big business what it
ought to be the be encouraged and honored
whenever they respond without reserve to the call
of the public service" .
This is the doctrine of the newer freedom that
should cheer the country Business is not criminal
because it is big; promoters of great enterprises are
not necessarily malefactors, but are to be honored
when they respond to the call of public service.
The President is not in position to put too much
blame upon the Senate Its disposition to regard big
business men with distrust has RECEIVED nothing but
announcement since Woodrow Wilson entered the
White House and rebufed them at its DOORS Now
that he realizes that their services are necessary to
conduct the big business of the nation he finds himself
fighting against the Senate such services.
Yesterdays frank statement indicates clearly that
the President has had an awakening 1t began when
Mr. J. P. Morgans knock at the White House portals
was answered He is learning about big business. 1t
not the enemy of civilization, of prosperity of the
common welfare and hence it is longer the hunted
prey of the administration. With the proclamation
OF the newer freedom the country may look forward
with less of apprehension.

Long Islands Mysterious Tragedy.

The active imagination of Conan DOYLE has con-
structed mysterious dramatic tragedy than
the recent shooting Of woman in the office of
Long Island physician. 1t is an up-to-the minute
tragedy. with dctagraph among a dozen clews. The
jealous wife of the doctor who slapped the face
of to whom he had lent money, listens to con-
Office hand holding pistol smashes its way through
window from the dark without and the bullet finds
its victim. Next morning the wife tears out the
dictagraph which she had installed, and faces the
world calmly defiant "They have nothing against me
but the dictagraph" she Declares and this is true
though she is now prisoner.
Is the woman guilty? That is question that will
be fought in court, and the fighting would furnish
three chapters for any novel There are all sorts of
clews pointing mysterious nobodes only one points
directly to the wife The husband says it was left
his side. The wife is right-handed The husband
says too that he was fired at three times while riding
in his automobile since the tragedy. There are other
stories of a strange woman running from the scene
of the tragedy and speeding away in an automobile

physician for whom the misdirected bullet was in

year ago to kill him, So far reason has been dis

she resembled in general appearance the nurse who
