"Grace Roberts, the perfect art
lists model murdered; II prominent
Philadelphia men fear disgrace"

About one-half the population of
the United States, reading headlines
like the above, is again reminded
that the wages of sin is death, and is
now waiting to learn WHOSE sin is
going to find him out this time.
There are scores of sermons, texts
and platitudes latent in. this latest
sensation. But that any girl will be
kept to the path of virtue by them,
or that detecting and Furnishing the
murderer will make over any other
mans character, is doubtful.
Gayety may lag in Philadelphia
until police activities quiet down;
probably this will be the only visible
reform.
Although this may seem a hard
way to discuss. such truths about
human nature, such discussion is no
longer condemned as cynical"
Facing facts" is the newest of
cults and it really indicates that So
ciety is beginning to be in a very
wholesome mental and emotional
condition.
Grace Roberts herself, beautiful
and supported in luxury, probably
cared little enough about any wOm-
ans sympathy while she Ived-she
certainly never worried about the
personal happiness of the wives and
sweethearts Of her scores of admir-
ers-and probably she receives little
sympathy now that she is dead. Ger
tainIy the rich mem who are now
"quaking" are not candidates for
anybody's commiseration.
That the public is not especially
shocked and is not wasting any silly
sentiment on the principles in this
tragedy does not denote any general
hardness of heart.
But it does Indicate a keener sense
Of justice and an improving standard

of morality.

To thrill with horror or mercy or
pity is no doubt admirable, but it is
greater to be just, and much more
important to human character.
Yet justice is the one thing which
human beings expect. to escape.
Whoever figures on getting some
thing out of life for nothing, pIansto
eVade the inevitable!
When Grace Roberts put on the
first pair of silk stockings which she
could not afford and for which she
paid sad price, she herself unrav-
eled an invisible thread which
stretched to the expensive blue silk
webbing which the police found
twisted about her white throat.
1t is easy to explain Grace Roberts
in a merciful way-as started on the
path to her doom by hard economi-
cal conditions, or the temptations of
luxury, or the fatality of too great
beauty.
1t is just as easy in the name of
pity, to explain what her mother
should have taught her, or how the
school should have instructed her, or
how social institutions should have
protected her-and that she and her
kind are actually martyrs whose ex-
istence is benefit to all virtuous
women.
1t is hard, but it is wholesome, and
it is not unjust, to say that Grace
Roberts probably shaped her life
pretty much,to suit herself, and that
she was very proud of her ability to
do it, of her power over men. And
that she did not expect to -pay-ex-
cept what she herself should choose
to pay.

CONGRESS VOTES TO SEVER DIP

LATloNS WITH TEUToNs.
Passports Issued to German Diplomat
ic and Consular Officials and All
Uruguayas O ficiaIs in Germany
oAAefed Home.

Notwithstanding break with
Germany came to pass early Sunday
morning after an all-night session of
the congress. 1t was greeted by out
bursts of patriotic fervor from the pub
lie and press throughout the republic.
The measure adopted by the joint
session of the senate and house au-
thorizes President Viera of uruguay !:
Ito break diplomatic and COM
mercial relations with the German en-
pire.
2@To adopt measures to facilitate
navigation, in cooperation with the
friendly nations, and measures to as
sure importation and expectation.
The president acted promptly on
the first point and took Immediate
steps toward action on the second. In
a speech to congress he made it clear
that Uruguay enters the war on the
side Of the United States not because
of any particular grievance, but to
align itself with the cause of liberty
and justice.
Passports were issued on Sunday to
the German diplomatic and consular
officials. Uruguay gives guarantees
for their personal safety until they
are out of the country. At the same
time cable orders were dispatched to
Berlin ordering all Uruguayan Off
Gals in Germany to leave for home
Immediately.
A note to the German foreign office
expresses the assumption that the
same guarantees given German Off
Gals in Uruguay will be given to Uru-
guayan officials of Germany. These
steps We're decided upon at meeting
of the president with the cabinet.
1t is expected that Montevideo will
be converted into base Of operation
for the allied fleets.

to Spider on Rose.

We believe that in the Garden of
Eden, Adam gave Eve rose in ex-
change for kiss. And she shuddered
and said, ''UghI There's a spider on
the rosel" And he answered, 'Well,
what do you expect for one stingy lit
tie kiss-an ichthyosaurus?
We believe that to be the oldest joke
in the world-older than the goat, the
mother-in-law, or any that are sup
posed to be included in the Original
Seven. In varying forms one finds it
in the Talmud, in Plautus, in Aesop,
in Rabelais, in Joe Miller, in all the
almanacs and comic papers.
When we were boy, it was told In
minstrel show, thus: A man buys
suit of clothes at a secondhand store.
He comes back and complains that the
coat is inhabited by unpleasant insects.
And the dealer says, well, what do
you expect for Swimming birds?"
Vaudeville knows it in this form :

make some repairs in this house. The

"Well, what do you expect for $15 a
champagne?"
And just last week we ran across
our old friend again in a weekly comic
paper. This time a passenger on a
street car calls down the conductor for
not calling the names of the streets
distinctly. And the conductor replies,
well, what do you expect for $14 a
week-a tenor solo?"
Lastly-a few days ago, we ran a
version of the old thing in this column.
We cut it's hair, trimmed its whiskers,
and fitted it with new suit, but we
could not disguise it completely. When
you run across it in any of its cos
tunes, send us clipping, will you?

Spirit of Utahns.

Salt Lake City.-After witnessing a
splendid parade here in celebration of
Utahs patriotic day and giving impe-

United States, paid high tribute to
the patriotism and true American spir.
it of Utah and her people in a stirring
address before an audience of 10000
persons that packed the historic Nor
mon tabernacle to it's doors. Secre-
tary Lane said:
Il have seen inspiring sights before,
but never before has one so touched
my heart as did your magnificent mill
itary parade which l witnessed on the
streets of Salt Lake. Oh, how 1 wish
President Wilson himself could have
seen it.
"The one thing that struck me most
fOrcibly in your parade was how your
boys represented the true spirit OF
America in the fact that the million.
aires son marched side by side with
the son of the farmer, all for the one
cause of liberty and right. Such is
the spirit of America which, if it car
be extended throughout the world
will make such calamities as this
war impossible in the future.

lined with the men and women who
are giving their sons in response t.
the call of war and 1 saw no tears

are making the greatest sacrifice thai
can be made and making it gladly fol

London. - Through squalls of rain
and under low-hangtng clouds, Field
Marshal Haig is blazing the way with
his artillery for another raid into the
German line in Flanders.
Since the great advance of the mid
week the British infantry has kept to
the trenches and shell craters, except
where forays were called for to re-
align the new front or counter-attacks
were necessary to hold back weak Ger
man attempts to recapture lost ter

their activity, and day in and day out
great masses of steel have been blast
ing the German points which are map
ped out for capture when the new
drive is launched.
Particularly heavy is the lombard
ment in the region running from
Langemarck to Zonnebeke, and es-
peeially to the east of the latter town,
where the wedge of the British has
been pushed in almost within striking
distance of the Ostend-Lille road.
When the new offensive will be
sprung cannot be predicted. Several
days may elapse before Haig has suf-
ficiently pounded the Germans to war
