"Who must have missed it," asked
"The doctor. He comes around with shears

anything to do it with ourselves"
"Well, Paul." I exclaimed, "no wonder you

Society that does not raise its protest indi-
vldually against conditions which breed and
teach immortality nor protest against the legal
killing of its victims as an insensate means
of protecting itself, must be shaken awake by
the presentation Of such questions to be
answered.
Legal killing Of ctizen-child or adult
IS an unlntelligent and illogical method of in
tlmldatlon and suppression, which does not ac-
compllsh its aim of safeguarding society
Crime goes on and increases in the states
where punishment, according to the Mosaic
law of IAN eye for an eye," still remains on
the statute books, written there in the babv
hood of this country
Have we grown up only commercially and
intellectually and not morally? We do not
even provide "cities of refuge" where those
who menace society may flee and their physi-
cal bodies be allowed sanctuary. Have we.

A Woman Lawyer Speaks for Paul

have spent many hours delving in the laws
relating to women and children, hence the con-
ference held by the Legislative League at the
Astor last week to protest the execution of
Paul Chapman would have been most inter
esting to me. Unfortunately, there were sew
eral matters which l could not sidetrack, and,
besides, | have promised to root out data and
facts for use in this same cause.
When women help to make the laws they
will bring their hearts to the aid of the heads,
and there will be no such remnant of old
English legislation as the general provision of
holding all persons, young and old, amenable
for capital offenses l have devoted a very
extensive section of my next book to this verv
matter, i. e., the laws taken from and con-
strqed in conformity with the common laws
OF England, which declared all persons under
twenty-one years of age infants, but ex-
cused or mitigated their offenses against the
law only where there was shown want or de-
feet of will. There are records of the execu-
ton of Enthusiastically, one lad of ten years,
for murder.
But the subject is too big to gloss over
and too tragic. ROSE FALLS BRFS
Counsellor nt Loau
New-York tribune., 1918-07-07

we find this grave lack of parental authority.
We have cases of children from good families
who get into serious trouble because of the
absence of discipline in the home. l do not
advocate the curfew but my experience has
made me painfully realize the necessity of
parents knowing where their daughters are
and the company they are keeping
"The parents in congested districts. of
course, have the worst problems to contend
with, because in these districts it is impossible
to know even ones next door neighbor And
only constant care and supervision will do
away with sueh tragedies as come before me.
Another important cause for the downfall
of the very young girl is the economic one. If
girl works hard all day and receives Sc a
week. OF which the majo part is given to her
home, she naturally longs for the means to
purchase few good clothes and shoes-still
more, if the girl working beside her is the
happy possessor of them. The feeling of long
ing and envy grows, and she wonders how it is
possible to afford such luxures Condolences
follow, and she is made acquainted with the
method by which her friend helps out her
weekly salary. It doesn't take very long be-
tore she too, accepts the situation which makes
the acquisition of a little finery possible.
1T is the practical conditions of life that
will have to be changed for such girls. After
all, isn't it perfectly natural for a young and
attractive girl to long for few pretty clothes
and little amusement? The low wages paid
to women and girls without training are in
many cases the reason for their ultimate
tragic fate
II shall never forget the impression I made
on little girl who admired the dress had on.
asked her whether she knew how had got it
she knew we'll enough the price she had paid
for the pitiful, cheap finery she wore! And
told her that 1 had worked for mine and
earned it legitimately. And I offered to helm
her get work that would pay her decent wage
SO that she could do the same thing.
