HAS BEEN REAFFIRMED

The Chicago idea tha: a woman commits TO crime in killing a man has been emphatically reaf- firmed, though the result it neces- sarily invites has just been striN- ingly proved.
 Last November a Mrs. Deasley killed her husband in that city and when arrested besida the body had in her hand q newspaper clipping mentioning the acQuittal in un- broken succession of seventeen women charged with murder and questioning whether It was possi- ble for 2 Chicago jury to find a murderess guilty. Now jury has presented Mrs. Beasley with the dissolution she counted on so con- fidently. She Is said to be the nineteenth woman acquitted of murder in Chicago in the last four years. There was one recent ea- cepuon, unless memory is at fault, of a murderess having actually been brought to trial and found guilty despite her sex. That this occur tence presaged no change in the rule is now only too evident.
 There can be only one conse- uuence-that exemplified by Mrs. Beasley. Chicago juries will have increasingly frequent occasion to exhibit their maudlin gallantry; Chicago women will feel more free than ever to resort to murder as a quick and safe substitute for di- vorce, O short and sure road to social freedom and all the happi- ness of criminal heroine.
 The late Mir. Beasley may have been a brute whom the world can well spare. As much may have been true Of the eighteen other men removed so guiltlessly. But if not in the next nineteen in stances, then some time, Q mistake may creep In and some man not really deserving sudden death may he condemned under the Chicago plan of constituting woman sole judge, jury and executioner of un- desired men.
 The helplessness of Chicago's male citizens to restore sane and safe procedure is plain. Are they 10 go unaided by Illinois women, who have already asserted their right to some Of the citizens func- t!ons at the polls and are so obvi- ously needed in the jury room? It would seem that good women everywhere whs deplore political industrial or social discrimination against their sex should be quick to resent this peculiarly distasteful discrimination In favor of some of it's members.

WATER POWER FOR RAILWAYS

The identification of the lines Of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway in Montana, Idaho and Washington is the most important and extensive project of the kind ever undertaken In this country. The change is expected to save al least a fourth of the cost of opera ton and greatly to better the ser vice in the mountainous parts Of the road. The 113 miles in Mon tana between Three Forks and Deer Lo'ge on the Puget Sound line of the railway will probably be the first electrified. By 1918, electricity will be the power In use on four engine divisions that extend from Harlowton, in Montana, to Avery, in Idaho, a distance of about 40 miles; and the company is plan ming to continue the Identification so that it will reach from Har- iowton to Seattle and Tacoma, $50 miles away.
 Tha road will get its current mainly from seven water-power plants that can produce about 100,- 900 horse power. The cost will be cnly Q little more than five mills Nlowatt hour. Twin overhead troi ley wires will convey the current to the 26O-ton locomotives, which will have Q continuous capacity greater than that of any steam locomotive CT any electric locomotive hereto
