THE CASE OF DR.. WAITE

Arthur Warren Waite, the dentist,
who has confessed to the murder Of
both his mother-in-law and his
father-in-law, has made a confession
that is remarkable for its sweeping
candor, and likewise for the evidence
that it comes from a man whose
mind is as sound as that Of deter
mined criminal can be. He says that
the love of money and of spending it
drove him to his crimes.
Waite, a man of attractive parts,
confessed that he made friends too
easily, found things too much to his
advantage in the world, and con-
tracted habits of extravaganza and
oven recklessness. His wife's parents
were rich. There were three lives be-
tween him and their fortune; and he
was willing to sacrifice all of them
to get possession of it.
His wife's mother was the first
victim. He experimental carefully
with poisons and disease cultures,
and decided upon arsenic as the poi
son most certain to do it's work with
the least chance of detection. In
his confession he admits that despite
all his efforts to cover his tracks,
he left plenty of evidence, on which
he believed he would have been con-
,,;otoJ sc x,o,,rJo,. ox,oy, 10 he hoJ not
confessed. But in fact the death of
his first victim was accomplished so
skillfully that he was not suspected,
and was free to go ahead with the
less careful plans that cost a second
victims life, but left the fatal traces.
Waite was a notable victim Of a
modern disease that is all too COM
mon, despite that it does not often
reach it's climax in such crimes as
his. The crimes, great and petty,
that are inspired by the same causes
that were responsible in his case,
are vastly more numerous than is
commonly realized. But that is not
all. The misery and unhappiness,
the ruined characters, wasted oppor-
tunities, domestic misery and bust
ness wrecks that may be traced to
the same weakness, are without num-
Der; but it may be set down with
all assurance that they are more
numerous than would readily be con-
jectured.
The example that DR.. Waite, pay.
ing the last penalty, will afford, will
be almost unimpressive when com.
pared to the lesson that is taught by
this confession of the motive that led
to his series of horrible crimes.

URGES THAT j. S. GO
INTO OIL BUSINESS
Congressman W. W. Bailey In
PRODUCES Bill in Hope Of
Checking Gasoline Rise.

A bill to make Uncle Sam the COM
petitor OF John ID. Rockefeller and
the Standard oil Company in the open
oil market was introduced In the
House today by Congressman Warren
Worth Bailey, a Pennsylvania Demo-
crat.
Mr.. Bailey proposes that Secretary
Lane shall sink oil wells In the lands
OF the United States and place the
products for sale In the open market.
Mr. Bailey figures that millions of
gallons OF petroleum and its products
may be obtained from the public
lands OF the United states Govern
ment and that one way to check the
rising prices OF gasolene is to have
the United States go temporarily into
the oil business.
"It may not be necessary actually
to enter the oil business" said Mr..
Bailey. "Just an obvious willingness
and determination to do SO may turn
the trick, and even the introduction
of this bill should have a good eff
feet"
The House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce will probably
consider during the present week the
Stevenson and Howard bills to meet
the gasolene situation. Both measures
have been referred to the Federal
Trade Commission for report.
The Stevenson bill would authorize
the commission to regulate the price
OF petroleum products handled in in
terstate commerce, while Congress
man Howard proposes a straightout
embargo on the expectation of petro-
leum products so long as the present
high prices prevail.
In the Senate Senator MARITIME an
nounced he would force the Senate
to vote as soon as possible on whether
IL considers the Standard oil a mon
opoly. Already, IL has adopted his
| resolution directing an investigation
| by the Attorney General into the ris-
ing price of gasolene, but the pream-
| BILE, declaring the STANDARD Oil a trust,
was postponed at the demand OF sew
eral Senators.

POKER AS SKILL, NOT CHANCE

In the trial Of three men on a
charge that they had taken part in a
poker game, New York magistrate,
Judge Levy, remarked: ~ don't be-
heve poker can justly be considered
gambling" And for the further en-
lightenment Of those who indulge in
the particular game to which Ameri-
cans are addicted he added: at is a
gentleman's game and is permitted
in many Of our exclusive clubs and
in countless homes"
Poker has been carried by Ameri-
cans all over the world, and only re-
Gently an English Judge was asked
to pass upon question involved in
the game. Magistrate Levy will be
supported also by a well-known nov
elist, who in his latest book says
the man that calls it a gamble
speaks from the depth Of ignorance
and adds his voice to the persecution
that has lowered the maximum test
Of intelligence to the level of the
Stock Exchange in the mind of an
undiscriminating public"
This American novelist puts an
epigram into the mouth of one of his
characters who ventures to affirm
that If the mere rudiments of the
game "were taught in our primary
schools New York would have a
shorter breadline on winter even
ings."
Poker requires concentration,
Judgment, calmness, Guickness, in ad-
dition to a profound knowledge of
human nature. Poker is a national
institution. Poker is a game of skill
and not chance.
Next to "Hoyle," there is no
greater authority in this country on
poker than "Uncle Joe" Cannon, who
will be eighty years old on May 7.
Recently the ex-Speaker, protesting
against the literacy test of the Bur
nett immigration bill, asked and an
swered the question, "Who is an
American" This eighty-year-old
youngster has devoted six decades to
the game, and the district attorney
of New York, who is to file a brief
to support the contention that poker
is gambling, might first get the
views Of "Uncle joe" The ex-
Speakers address is again the House
of Representatives, Washington, D.

THE EVIDENCE IN THE SUSSEX
CASE

Suppose, in view Of the German in
sistence that German submarines did
not destroy the Tubantia or attack
the Sussex, it should be positively
proved that they did do just that?
Suppose that submarine should
be captured, and it's crew should ad-
nit that they performed these two
feats?
What would then happen to the re-
lations between the United States
and Germany?
In Holland, Denmark, Norway, and
Sweden-all neutral countries, like
our own-disclaimers of responsible
ity from Berlin are no longer regard
ed at all seriously. Holland is per-
fectly frank about considering that
the Berlin naval authorities have
lied. 1t is tragic thing for a ma
ton to get into such bad repute with
the world of neutral and supposedly
friendly powers that they will thus
cynically assume that it issues off
cial untruths. Yet there is such an
accumulation of testimony regarding
particularly these two cases, that
the people concerned can hardly be
blamed for feeling that they are be-
ing made the victims of absolute
Misrepresentation of known facts.
Circumstances point to the pre-
sumption that Berlin not only has
authorized these attacks on neutral
merchantmen, but that Berlin knows
it is not telling the full truth about
them. Why are American ships so
strangely immune from this sort of
attack? Is there method in it? Is
Germany willing, for the imagined
advantage of submarine warfare, to
draw the minor neutrals into war,
while taking pains to avoid the ex-
IRENE offense to the United States +?
1t is patent that if, let us say, the
st. Paul, of the American line, should
be torpedoed and sunk, it would re-
quire a miracle to keep this country
and Germany out of war. Time was
when an explanation, the assurance
