 T am restraining myself only by sheer force of will,' said the young woman, reproachfully.
 "A most intelligent girl answered the phone" related the young man. She did not begin by announcing that she could not hear me, neither did she ask me to wait an hour while she ran around the block and called the order clerk, who, of course, would have been finally discovered She had a pencil handy and she knew prices. She did not break to me the staggering news that they were all out of that partic- ulan article and she herself suggested that she remove the price mark. I told her to charge it to Henry R.

THE INSANITY PLEA

With the growing tendency to make use of the plea of insanity for the purpose of escaping the penalty of the law, it has been realized for some time that legislation was needed to deal with the situations which are possible to result therefrom Ordinar- fly it has been supposed that a yer dict of not guilty on the grounds of insanity" meant that the accuse would be cared for in a proper insti- tuition for the protection of the pub lie in case of any future outbreaks, but the instances which have shown the course to be a subterfuge to cir cumvent the law. indicate the neces- sity of overcoming the weakness as it exists today
 It is thus quite evident that the com mittee of the New York bar associa- ton ts actuated by the proper motive in recommending the passage of a law which provides that a jury in a mur- der case in which insanity Is the de- fense may return verdict of guilty but insane" with such persons subject to such imprisonment as a murder case would callgfor. 1t is the. Thaw case which has shown the necessity for such action. Not only has it made a farce of the law as it exists today, but 1t has indicated the-way which other cases are to be fought for like results. It has revealed also a situation which needs a remedy and it is to the credit of the bar association that it is the 1nstigator thereof. New York is con cerned in legislation which will affect the empire state but it Is a change which should be of deep concern in every other state where the same weakness exists. Wealth and the con venient plea of insanity should not be allowed to warp the administration of justice.

EDUCATION BETTER THAN
 CRIME

It may be that the suffrage move ment is making progress In England as the result of the methods which are pursued by the ardent advocates of that issue, but if it is such headway is being accomplished at an unwar- ranted sacrifice of public and private property. The militants are possessed ! of a craze which knows no limits and l lay themselves open to the argument I that whether they obtain suffrage or not they are nanifesting an attitude towards one thing which it is but fair ! to assume they would manifest toward everything in which they were op- posed.
 The destruction of the large conser- vatory in the Glasgow botanical gar
 dens adds another to their list of
 crimes against the public. It gains nothing foF suffrage. It makes no ar
 gument for the extension of the right
 to vote to women. As the Springfield Union well says concerning their pol
 icy: 'In nearly every case the destruc- tive acts of. the militant arson squads
 have been directed against public property serving a useful purpose or the private property of individuals in
 no way concerned in the question at
 issue between the advocates of equal suffrage and the government Aside from its criminal aspects, the arson and dynamite crusade bears all the marks of fanatical frenzy gone stark,
 staring mad. which suggests the
 thought that the British government would be able to cope more effectually with this phase of the militant suf- fragette movement if it adopted the
 policy of dealing with the members
 of the arson squads as lunatics, rather than mere criminals"
 It is the educational rather than the
 criminal acts which show progress in any undertaking

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Casting Out Devils.

MT. Editor: As it must have been evident to you that Reader made his point with regard to the lack of proof to be obtained from the Gospel of Mark, which was the authority quoted by Seeker After Truth, and this being himself with. he might well refrain from asking your attention again.
 However Seeker After Truth having lost the direct passage, in reply now urges also differences from other Cos pels as proof of his conclusions, we are inclined to read up further this new data, and so assist in the search after truth. In our former letter, Read CT was careful not to venture on the merits of the main question which was the place or value of miracles as proof of a divine indwelling, but we will now be plain, in taking the ground that miracles are not proof, because the miracle in itself stands in need of proof.
 Now. if we understand him, Seeker takes the ground that the gift of mira cle working was bestowed on the ear ly church, to be and continue as proof of it's belief in Christ, and the church, having lost this gift has also lost the faith. eff we are in error here, we have missed entirely his point). Now this position, as argument, carries with it its own defeat, because it shows that the miraculous gift failed to convince the world of that which 1t was its pur- pose to do Isn't it a fact that even the miracles of Jesus did not bring conviction to the people Did not prove to them His divine origin. They said, he casts out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.-St. Matt 12-24. So far from the miraculous gift being displayed to prove that the man was an apostle of Jesus Christ, did not Jesus teach-and the apostles after him-that the faith to be healed must exist in the person who had the dis ease? Hence, he often said, "Thy faith hath made thee whole after perform ing cure. Did not the evangelists go so far as to say. even, that Jesus could do no miracles in a certain place because of their unbelief.-St. Mark, 6-5.
 Assuming A Seeker After Truth to be correct in his theory about the mi raculous gift may this not be the di- lemma confronting the church today It is surely certain that apathy and worldliness are among the things that negative a large part-the larger part =of all that the church Is endeavoring to do. In Jesus day the people some times, feeling this need came to him for help. Who are coming to his church today for help? A few certain ly, but, as in that day. not the crowd. ONLY A READER

VILLAS PREDICTION.

Whatever may be thought of the methods of warfare pursued by Gen 'era1 Villa one of the chief aids of Gen. eral Carranza, it is a fact which can not be successfully controverted that he has been an important factor in the Mexican situation for the past sew eral months. That he should there fore make predictions on the strength of his success is not at all unusual Under his direction the northern part of Mexico has been brought under rebel control. Several garrisoned cities have been captured as he had predict ed and when he declares that Torreon will fall like the others it is per haps different proposition but there is the same determined fighter back of the rebel force %Nho has not been turned back as yet
 Much depends upon the outcome Of that attack. for which both sides are making extensive preparations. The federals have the advantage over pre- vious occasions in being able to se- cure provisions and aid within reason able time. which was not so in the other cases.

 ''The basket was all right" the young woman told him. Tt was per fectly lovely and I thought the sender had spent a lot of time personally se- lecting the things in it. There was one drawback to it, however,"

In view of his past successes Villa seems justified in his conviction that Tarreon will fall as the first of that string of cities to capitulate on his march to Mexico City while Huerta being in control of the central states. is naturally loath to admit the weakness of his troops and garrisons.
