OF THAW

Duluth Herald: Thaw is
sane the jury says. So-pre-
sumably-he goes free at last.
That's up to the Judge, who
ought to make a bargain with
him: freedom so long as he
maintains decency and obscur-
ity.
Of course Thaw is sane-as
sane as anybody is who, blessed
with no more than a fair a.
mount of brains was unfortun-
ate enough to be born into a
rich family that made him a
spoiled child and a pampered
youth, no incentive to self
de velopment and plenty of
money and leisure to addle
what wits he had.
What hope was there for a
nonetoobrilliant youth who had
an allowance of eighty thou
sand dollars a year before he
was of age. and whose parents
made it possible for him to
spend fifty thousand dollars on
a dinner to Paris stage beaut-
les and to lose forty thousand
dollars in a Pittsburg poker
game.
The original verdict of insan-
ity was the jury's compromise,
and it saved Thaw from the
electric chair or the peniten-
larry for life. But it infected on
the country nine years of front
page headlines that-because
Thaw was news and you could
Mt get away from it-kept
dingiug the sordid tale into
public consciousness from time
to time.
If Thaw has sense as we'll as
sanity, he will HE himself-if
the judge let's him-into the
Completest obscuity he can find,
there to atone for a wasted life
as best he can.
His story has not been with
out it's value. At least it has
shown the folly of the silly and
stupid overkindness of rich par
ents that 80 commonly makes
snobs and wastrels and worse
than useless membranes of
many who, given some other
incentive than pleasure. might
hav earned a right to exist.
But lest the lesson be lost
through over-emphasis and
sheer WEAKNESS of its repeti.
ton, Thaw's best atonement
to society will be to bury him
self from public sight forever
more.

Needle Dust.

In factories where needles are made
the grindstones throw of great quaint
ties Of minute steel particles, with
which the air becomes heavily charg-
ed, although the dust Is too fine to be
perceptible to the eye. Breathing the
dust shows no immediate effect. but
gradually sets up irritation. usually
ending in pulmonary consumption. In
effective attempts were made to screen
the air by gauze or linen guards for
nose and mouth. At last the use Of
the magnet was suggested. and now
masks Of m~agnetized steel wire are
worn by workmen and effectually re-
move the metal dust before the air is
breathed.-London Graphic.
