The foregoing article stops short of
passing judgment. Why not have said
that she was type of perfect woman
hood and like Christ, the typical man. died
a martyr?
If marriage is what the Bible declares
it to be, the union of two persons to be-
come one thencetorth, the French nation
had no moral right to forbid her pres
ence with her husband. True, marriage
in many cases is but the association of
two persons in which one party does not
respect the wishes and sentiments of the
other. Such domestic life can never
prove desirable.
1t is to be hoped that the death of this
woman may make as great stir in the
social world as the death of Christ made
in the spiritual world.
1t is as essential to have the rights of
the individual defined in domestic life as
in business life. The happiness of the
home depends upon each Individual know
ing his or her rights and duties.
Duty to home comes before duty to
the nation, for the nation is composed of
homes. There can be no such thing as
duty to the nation which is not for the
good of the home. If it is not for the
good of the home it is not duty, for the
nation exists for the benefit of the
homes.
The science and art of government is
always the first to attract the attention
of any people. When government is es-
tablished then some sort of religion flour
ishes and education follows in its train:
first for it's financial value, and finally
as source of pleasure.
When we discuss the social life we are
near the vitals of society. Many a foul
fiend has stolen the affections of one
party to the home and thereby brought
ruin and desolation to that home.
But here is a case where public senti-
ment has thus far sought to tolerate and
justify the ruin of home simply because
the wife sought to interpret marriage in
its highest and most sacred sense. Shall

Some time ago, when manufacturers
complained that the Democratic tariff
had brought ruinous conditions to their
business, the administration sent special
agents to investigate. These agents, as
was to be expected, reported that the
difficulty was not due to the tariff but to
inefficient management. Since these
agents are able to tell private enterprise
how to run its affairs, why not assign one
OF them to each governmental depart
ment and thus get the administrative
m achinery running on good business
basis.

The Eternal Problem.

Courts of justice, have staged many
tragedies, but none where the eternal
problem of the sexes was more complex
than at the trial of Captain Jean Herail.
the French cavalry officer who killed his
wife.
A court martial acquitted Captain
Herail after hearing his testimony. His
wife, loving and true, and in turn beloved
and honored, persisted in following him
against military orders. She was gift
ed Partisan belonging to distinguished
family. One of her brothers was the
winner of Nobel prize for physics; an
other is a prominent lawyer. Captain
Herail is the son of one of the leading
magistrates of the French republic. The
marriage was the climax of romantic
courtship, during which Captain Herail
followed the woman of his choice through
Europe.
For ten years there was perfect happi-
ness in their home. When the war broke
out Captain Herail went to the front,
and his wife followed, ignoring MILL
tary orders that no woman should enter
the army zone. The husband was warn
ed repeatedly; he pleaded with his wife,
but she would not leave, saying it was
her natural right to remain by his side.
IHdHy IuS buSDdIlU was OIueIeu uIlueE
arrest, deprived of promotion in the
Legion Of Honor and menaced with dis
missal from the army. Even then the
wife refused to go-and her husband shot
her, shot the one person in this world he
loved best.
1t seems impossible. Captain Herail
explained his act by saying he was utter
ly dazed and scarcely conscious of what
happened. But there " as the dead wom-
an, and there was the smoking revolver
in the husbands hand.
Who was to blame? Is wife's love
that will not permit separation from her
husband justifable? Undoubtedly this
unfortunate woman was the victim of
dominating passion, but it was pure. Is
a man justified in placing his duties
above his wife's claims as his mate?
Does love of ones country constitute a
higher call to man than the sanctity and
honor OF his family?
The courtmartial that tried Captain
Herail acquitted him, but it did not solve
the eternal problem of the sexes.-Ore-

WASHINGTON, D. c., May II, 1915
In the closing days of Congress the ques-
ton of the national defense came active
" to the front. Congressman Gardner
presented an astounding summary of our
military and naval undergraduates, Gull
minating in direct charge that the ap-
palling loss of submarine F4 in Haw-
allan waters was due to the neglect of
the navy by its nominal head. 1t is nee
essary thus to qualify Secretary Dan
ieJs' position-for the real head of the
Navy Department is the Secretary OF
State. 1t is we'll known here in WASH
1rgton that most of the futile schemes
of uplift with which the navy has been
deruoralized during the past two years
had their origin in Mr.. Bryan's fertile
mind Some go so far as to trace their
gen esis to the famous dinner of the
= Carihao Society, where this administra-
eson first showed its incapacity to with
stand raillery. Following this dinner,
with it's aftermath of executive disap-
prevail, there was another dinner of
similar nature, but given by an organi-
cation outside of the administration; and
here the Secretary of State and Mr..
Daniels were put on the griddle for their
;asinine performance over the Carlbao
incident. Unable to ''get back" at this
organization, Mr.. Bryan, with one of
those queer quirks which seem to have
permanent Judgement in his brain, de-
termined to "even up" by flank move
me Mt of some sort on the members OF
the Caribao Society. Turning to Dan
iels, he suggested the silly series of
ord ers which have so bewlldered the
navy; and from then on Bryan and Dan
iels, working in conjunction, have done
everything possible to minimize the sea
DO wer and to let the naval establishment
run down.
This policy has not escaped criticism,
some of it. of a savage character; but
the Navy Department apparently re-
s olved to suffer in silence. Mr.. Daniels
said nothing-nor did ne saw any wood'
But at length he has unsealed his lips.
Congressman Gardner has been going
about the country telling some plain
truth about the navy as it is now ad-
ministered; and Colonel George Harvey
has devoted an Issue of the North Ameri-
can Review to such terrific joshing OF
