The Heroic Instinct

A JERSEY CITY Jury recently gave
"A $4,000 to the widow OF Julius Peter
sligo. an electrical engineer who sacrificed
his own life when he saved Mrs. Bere-
nice Bourne from being run down by a
train on the New York. Susquehanna &
Western railroad.
Tho verdict was founded on the prin-
oiple that the saving OF human life Is in
the furtherance of public policy.
A verdict of this kind always rouses
discussion as TO what heroism is.
In this case the railroad contended that
Petersilge WILLFULLY saved the
woman's life. But the probability Is that
acts Of heroism are often not so much
willful as instructive.
10 save a woman or q child from dan
ger Is part of the white mans code OF
honor. He acts that way without think
ing.
He never stops to consider what Is the
relative value to the community or 10 any
individual of the life OF a man compared
TO that Of woman
He maintains the white mans reputa-
tion--a reputation acquired by centuries
OF sacrifice. Thus the New Jersey YER
dict upholds one of the most splendid
unwritten laws OF the race.
