The Insanity Plea

A few days ago in connection with the killing by Rogers of Auerbaugh, The Republican ndulged in comments upon the insanity plea in murder It then generally assumed that the killing the result of a quarrel between the two The evidence the inquest pointed only to the maniacal fury with which the slayer had destroyed his victim. But that has been common thing in homicides when blood lust has been excited It also brought out, though in the evidence that two relatives of Rogers had been inmates of insane asylums.
 Since then have learned more of the character of man. In fact the circumstance attending his suicide few days later, left little doubt unba- anced mind It is said by those who know him best trustworthy of men and that nothing but complete
 deed In the light of all the information that have since gathered and in the new circumstances which have arisen believe that We also believe that if he had lived he would have been acquitted of that crime but would have condemned to a fate hardly less terrible than that of conviction It must though be great satisfaction friends to believe that he was innocent of the murder of AUerbaugh.
 But returning to the subject of the insanity pea his acquitta would have been made the difficult by the abuse of the insanity plea in the past. That abuse has not only resulted in the acquitta of who should have been convicted, but what is much worse it has perhaps lost it's force at times when it should have worked for the acquital of who were really insane.
 It has become that whenever it is raised, unless in behalf of known maniaos it regarded with suspicion that many defendant for whom it should sufficient defense has been left de- fcnselcss.

Another fine program. including Douglas Fairbanks in American Aris- tocracy. and Toto in The Junk Man. to say nothing of Ford Pictorial Weekly. comes to the Columbia thea ter today for two-day stay.
 American Aristocracy.'' is novel drama with plenty o{ comedy to add zest to it's thrills and the leading char acter, Cassius Lee, is played with the customary Fairbanks pep and zeal.
 Fairbanks takes the part of an ad venturous young scion of an aristo- cratic family who quits the conven- tional life of the leisure class to seek the excitement that he craves as an amateur entomologist, or, in more con- mon phrase, bug hunter" While pur- suing the migratory caterpillar along a country road, he is overtaken by a beautiful maid in an automobile who jumps out and kisses him.

 At the time, thought the proof reader and the holder. how about the trousers seats of the owners? Would not what might be saved by de- creased overhead expenses be absorbed by what may designate the underpnning basement penses.
 But the clothing industry is something not in- cluded in the worries of the automobile manufacturers Let the clothing industry look out for itself to the durability of its products. In fact the auto mobile industry by introducing the cast iron cushion had given hint to the clothing industry for the rein forcement of its products.

"The Martial Adventures of
 Henry And Me"

lStS treat the various cases. The blind go one way: those dumb with she'll shock go another; jaw cases separate from men with scalp wounds, and hip fractures are divided from shoulder fractures as the sheep from the goats. Travelling about among the hospitals one picks up curious unrelated and unexplained bits of information; as, for instance. that the British Tommy Is the most patient man in Europe under pain. He likes to distinguish between himself and his wound and is likely to reply to the doctor any fone morning; Me? Oh, I'm right at the top form, sir; but my leg is bothering me bit. sir." The Canadian isn't so game under roof as he is under the open sky and in the charge. And the American grunts more than he should. But here is a queer thing. The French tubercular soldier is despond ent. With Americans, tuberculosis breeds hope Perhaps it is the buoy ancy of the young blood of our army but no American feels he is ever going to die with tuberculosis He feels he is hit hard; that it may take six months or year to get on his feet; after that he goes on dreaming his dream. But the tubercular French soldiers are the saddest looking men in Europe.
 Better Than Bacteria
 Back in Kansas last spring we had heard a story to the effect that the Germans were inoculating the French and Belgians behind the lines of the allies with tubercular bacteria. We asked French and American and Brit ish doctors about that story, and they all answered that there was nothing to it. The doctors told us that the Ger mans have cheaper and better way to fill France with tuberculosis than by ! wasting serum on their enemies. And then one day in a tuberculosis hos pital we picked up this story, which explained what the doctors meant. | We met a young man from Lille. IL was his birthday; Henry bought him bouquet. He told us his story: He said:
 Three years ago when the war broke out was 19 years old and was living in Lille with my parents. The Ger mans came to our house one day with I their guns and took me away. They took me to a town in Germany: | think it was Essen, where they madC me work in an iron or steel mill. worked fourteen hours a day, slept or straw outside the works in shed. hac only the clothes they took me in ant had only bran to eat.'
 "Only bran?" we asked, doubting it
 "Only bran,'' the interpreter re peated, and from half dozen cot! near by, where others who had suf fered as he had. heard our question came the echo in confirmation, "OnlN bran to eat," He soon caught cold and soon the cold became tubercu losis, and after three years of thi his sick days exceeded his work days and in due course he and five hundred others were assembled. put on trail and shipped out of Germany throusl Switzerland to Evian in France. Thre hundred thousand of these poor husks men, women and children, have beei dumped into France in the last sever months. Two trainloads of them ar rive at Evian every day. The me and women, mostly tubercular. do no , tarry. They push on into France, deadly white stream.

An Automobile Innovation

 The proof reader has been interviewed about this advertisement about this item of it, and he said that he first read it with surprise He asked the copy holder for confirmation of what his eyes seemed see and confirmation given closer reference to the copy left it least iron cushions and nothing else that point than advertising copy usually is. Ex- pcrence has taught proof readers the world over that they can alter advertising copy only their peril
 It appears that the proof reader and the copy holder notwithstanding it was busy night suspended their work, in spite of the profane demands from below for return of the accumulated proofs to discuss this innovation in automobile accessories. cushion they agreed signifies softness while cast iron possesses peculiarly reluctant yielding quality Here was there- fore paradox which proved again the progress that the automobile industry making in overcoming the seemingly impossible.

A Test at Hand

We are about to witness moro or less decisive fest of the strength of the Germans on the western If they fail in this may safely conclude that they have been hopelessly weakened It is the British assault upon Lens. Since year last spring the Germans subjected to two such tests. ono at Lens year ago last spring and the other @ Cambrai last fall The Germans had for months way before the assaults of the British in Fand and the French in Picardy. It doubtful whether their retirements not strategic; whether they had given up anything they cared to hold.
 But when the British to Lens the world 10 know. There spot in all of France so de- sirabe for the allies to gain desirable for the Germans to hold. The great coal fields of that district were the prize which they contending. The British succeeded in almost surrounding Lens. They established themselves both northeast and southeast of it more than half surrounding it. At time it's fall the following day predicted But it remained in German hands,
 In September General Byng drove the Germans before him to the gates of Cambra and took position northeast of that place. Its fall regarded only matter of hours The experts said that it's fall would open the certain way for the reconquest of Belgium There would therefore. be no strategic retirement from Cambrai. If the Germans should give it up it would be because by expenditure of blood could they hold it. The loss of either Lens Cambrai would forecast the loss of all the territory the Germans had taken in years west of the Rhine Though the Hin denburg line had been impnged upon and pierced" broken" other points according the dispatches the allies themselves disastrousy broken these points.
 The British are not far now from the place they when the assault upon Lens failed year ago last April. As matter of fact they have been far from that place for in the repulse they pushed back only short distance and that part the line was hardly affected by the German drive beginning last March. The British have always been within about three miles of Lens.
 If Lens be taken by the allies they take anything west of the Rhine and the retirement the Germans from France and Belgium can be matter of but few months. It would that the German nearly exhausted that the military leaders have course before them except to retire in as orderly fashion is possible.
 It would mean also that Germany is at the end of it's resources; that it's hopeless but accident which it cannot foresee and which the allies cannot possibly fear That kind of a hope is akin despair.

STOP STALE EhEAD NUISANCE
Innovation Promises to RevolutlonIze
Bakery Business and to Aid In
Complying With Conservation.

If all the regulations which may
be established to govern food produc-
ton and conservation can be meas
ured by the request Of the council OF
national defense that the bakers at
once put a stop to their ancient GUS
tom Of accepting returns Of stale
bread, it is clear that the food busi-
ness is going to have thoroughly
salutary house cleaning, says North
western Miller.
The prevention of waste is, in the
long run, directly beneficial to the
producer, and the government is evil
IDENTIFY going to help him to do what
he had long wanted but been unable
to do. The stale bread nuisance has
for years been one of the chief
plaques of the bakery trade. Every
body recognized it for what it was: a
wholesale waste of good material do
ing nobody any good, main
tanned only because each baker
was afraid of his competitors,
The retailer who wanted a dozen
loaves was induced to take two dozen
on the ground that he could
return the unsold ones; the
baker paid the extra cost, knowing
that if he revoked the obnoxious
privilege some other baker would use
it as a means for getting the retail
er's trade for himself.
The return of unsold bread was
long favorite theme at bakers con-
ventions; its evils were published
abroad and the trade was urged TO
edo something about it." But the
lurking competitor around the cor
ner kept that something from being
done, and the baker kept on supply
ing the retailer with bread he did not
want and gazing day by day at the
surplus and practically unstable
production which was deposited on
his hands.

INDIAN SUMMER.

The short season of fine weather
occurring about the middle of
November, or a little later, is called
"Indian summer" from the custom
of the Indians to avail themselves of
this pleasant season for gathering
their corn, and the tradition is that
they always had a Second summer
Of nine days just before winter set
in" The sky at this period is gen
orally filed with golden haze. The
season is synonymous with the
Summer Of St Martin" of Europe,
which derives its name from the fes-
tiyal of st. Martin held on the 11th
Of November. "Squaw winter" is
the Indian appellation for the touch
of wintry or snowy weather that pre-
cedes the Indian summer.

boiling lava regularly rises and falls,
continually spouting fountains of
flame, flowing in swift currents, ed
dying and boiling like the sea, or

tempest" Mr., Ross continued. "a
strong sulphur odor permeates the
