Modern bIuebeards

Even the superficial newspaper
reader must have been impressed
during the last month or so, with
the large number of wife murders
throughout the country. Such MUIR
ders now constitute a majority OF
capital crimes and continually give
rise to the question-Why did he do
it? There are as many answers to
this question as there are murders,
but one criminologist has suggested
an answer that may cover the ma
jority of cases. He says that wife
murderers are merely modern blue
boards.
The marital relation tday is not
held in the esteem it once was. This
is indicated by divorce statistics
which show one divorce to every
eleven marriages throughout the
country. Causes of divorce comprise
almost every conceivable reason,
plainly indicating the employment of
almost any ground that will sever re-
lations When divorce proceedings
do not separate quickly enough, 9TH
er means and methods are employed,
even murder. The Small case in
New Hampshire seems to be an il
lustration of this fact.
Yet, modern bluebeardS resort to
murder in some instances not be-
cause they have tired of their wives
so much as their wives have tireo of
them. In the large cities the crimi-
nal records exhibit a constantly in
creasing number of cases of wife in
fidelity. The new woman" seems to
be more susceptible to temptations of
various sorts than her mother or
grandmother were. Fast living and
high flying cause her to forget her
vows and exchange her love too fire.
quently for mere baubles.
AS the judge of Chicago's marital
relations court recently remarked:
Marriage must again be made a
solemn compact if we are to lessen
the number of divorces" And he
might have added that home training
and religious teaching must be in
voked to this end. Human passion
must be curbed if a proper estimate
of the value of life be had When
this is done there will not only be
fewer divorces, but fewer bluebeards.

Stormy Three-Hour Session Finds
Reflection Today in Noticeable
Absence of Members.

With the crucial hours of the con-
Congress passed, when. by a vote Of
116 to SO. that organization placed
itself on record yesterday afternoon
as indorsing the plan Of allowing pri-
vate interests to take over and de-
velop water-power resources OF the
country, the closing session which
opened this morning was marked by
noticeable falling off in the attendance
of delegates. Numerous committee re-
ports and other features of the pro-
gram neglected yesterday were taken
up and hurriedly accepted in order that
the business before the congress might
all be transacted before the formal
closing tonight.
The stormy three hour session yes
terday afternoon. which threatened to
split the congress in two. was brought
about by the reading of the divided re-
port of the committee on water power.
The majority report advocated the
recomm endation of the Shields and
Myers bills, which provide for the is
suing of licenses by the Secretary of
War to private interests to operate
plants for fifty years. reserving to the
government the right to take over the
plants at the end of that period at
their actual valuation. A strong
minority report opposed the bills.
With the debate opened to the floor.
the minority launched a vehement at
tack against the majority led by Gif-
ford Pinchot who. at the last meeting
Of the congress three years ago, sue
cessfully led the opposition to a sim
liar proposal. 1t was openly charged
on the floor that the congress was
packed in the interests of the water
power legislators" This was denied
with heat by those favoring the ma
jority report.
