Would 1t Satisfy?

The "Kokumin Shimbun," another
influential newspaper, declares edi-
torlally that it doubts very much
whether the government programme
for the revision of the election laws
by lowering the tax qualification
from 10 yen to yen, and adopting
smaller electoral districts, would
satisfy the people. 1t thinks that
the revision of the election laws
should be much more thoroughgoing
to meet the demands of the times.
"The Far East" published in
Japan, but in English) has this to
say:
The movement for universal suffrage
is gaining in power and popularity day
by day. 1t was at first little mora
than students affair; but it has now
assumed serious aspect, and the work.
ing classes are interested The agita-
tion is not only sweeping over the coun-
try, but is making its influence felt
within the House of Representatives
Two parties in opposition have drafted
bills on the principle of limited fran
chise, and when these were introduced
there was some dissension in their
ranks. notable case was that of Mr..
Ozaki, of the Kensei-kai, who declared
that he advocated universal suffrage, al
though he submitted to the discipline of
his party Now clique is being formed
by those who are in favor Of the imme-
date introduction of universal suffrage.
The promoters are the six members of
the Kokumin-to. 1t is said that they
intend to bring in a separate bill and
are trying to rally as many supporters
as possible. If advocates of universal
suffrage could see their way to introduce
their own bill, the House would really
be flooded with franchise bills; the op-
position leaders seem now to be having
a hard time trying to bring all their
members into line on this measure"

The Small Town
Market

NOBODY has ever questioned the
magnitude of the small town
market-that is, not since the census
bureau has been making reports,
anyhow, declares "Judicious Adver-
tising," which goes on to say that
it's quite possible to juggle figures
generally in any direction; but it's
impossible to twist these census
statistics
I. In the United States SO per cent of
the people live in towns whose popula-
tion is less than $4,000.
2. In the United States 10 per cent of
the people live in twentyone states.
3. In the twenty-one states that in
terest advertisers, 633 per cent Of the
people live in towns whose population
is less than $4,000
In the general market and in the
selected market, the rural population is
the dominant factor. The standard of
living is possibly higher than that of
the city; the consumer is more keenly
responsive to advertising; the merchant
is a wholesome sort of person who still
believes in stocking what his customers
want. Merchandising is simple prob
lem Of selling branded products over the
counter.

The Poster Ad.

To-day the poster has come into it's

beginning, and for many centuries, ad-
vertising by means of posters, or simu-
lations Of the poster, manifested itself
in the crudest manner; it was vague,
nebulous, chaotic Now it has found
itself and a myriad of artistic posters,
possessed of vigor, charm and effec-
tiveness, proclaim its triumph as a
promoter of publicity on thousands Of
standardized boards throughout the
New World. 1t has assumed a definite
purpose and is destined to endure.

The Strange Case of Lieut.. Col Norman
Cecil Rutherford, Who Killed
Ma jor Seton

out any apparent reason at all. He
would address them with extraordi-
nary rudeness. He spoke on these oc-
casions in a peculiar voice, which ap-
peared to be choked with suppressed
rage, and his manner became very
markedly threatening and extremely
insulting, the whole thing being an en-
tire change from Colonel Rutherford
as one ordinarily knew him. Witness
thought he suffered from some mental
warp. After these outbursts he re-
turned almost at once to his normal
manner, and never referred to them
afterward. Witness added 4 have
never met anything of the kind in other
men. have served under twenty or
more commanding officers and have
been reprimanded on many occasions
by angry officers, and have never met
any want Of control in an officer which
corresponded in any way to this type
of lack of control which was shown by
Colonel Rutherford
"Reaxamined by Mr.. Rigby Swift, DR..
Sandilands said that irritability was
not an appropriate word to describe
the condition of Colonel Rutherford.
1t was common for people to feel dizzy
at height, but the desire to throw
ones self down was not inherent in
perfectly normal people.
evidence was given Of Some of
Colonel Rutherford's experiences under
shellfire. On one occasion shell
burst close to him and half buried
him; on another he was wounded by a
shell fragment in the arm and his
companion was killed by the same she'll.
One witness said the colonel seemed to
have no personal regard for danger at
all. Lieutenant Colonel J. Macmillan,
D. S. O., who succeeded Colonel Ruther-
ford in command of the 9th London
Field Ambulance, said he could give
nine or ten cases where Colonel Ruth
erford had interfered with commanding
officers Of other units where he had no
business to do SO. 1t was something
more than bad temper.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11
CURIOUS case has been
developed in London Of a
man who dreamed of COM

hitting murder and after
ward murdered the man he had
dreamed Of killing. The case was
that Of Lieutenant Colonel Norman
Cecil Rutherford, D. S. O., r. A.
M. c., who killed Major Miles
Charles Cariston Seton, Of the Aus
tralian Medical Corps, cousin Of Sir
Malcolm Seton, of Clarendon Road,
Holland Park, w.
Before the coroner and in the
police court the case promised to
develop into one of the familiar
triangle" sensations, sensational
only because of the comparative
social prominence Of the parties con-
cerned. Such evidence as was given
pointed to strained relations be-
tween Colonel Rutherford and his
wife, while there was friendship and
possibly intimacy between Mrs.
Rutherford and Major Seton.
Colonel Rutherford went to trial
in the Old Bailey, with the ground
work for such case we'll prepared,
but Immediately medical evidence
was called to show that Colonel
Rutherford was of unsound mind
and DR.. Hyslop, until recently Sc
nior physician at Bethlehem Hos
pital and a specialist in mental
diseases, dropped bombshell
among the fashionable audience in
the courtroom when he told Of Col
onel Rutherford's dream Of killing
Major Seton. DIR. Hyslop said:
"From a psychological standpoint
it is Of extreme interest to me to
find that in December he Colonel
Rutherford) had an extremely vivid
dream in France in which he went
through the full horror Of having
killed Major Seton, and that he
wakened in a condition Of terror.
He viewed the whole dream with
horror and put it away from him.
Subsequently the idea would recur
from time to time, until it assumed
in his mind the form Of a definite
prohibition"
The medical evidence in the case,
ss reported in "'The London Morn
ing Post" is as follows:
"Dr. J. E. Sandilands, Medical Officer
Of Health for Kingston and formerly
captain in the Royal Army Medical
Corps, who served under Colonel
Rutherford for considerable time on
the Continent, said prisoners had fire.
quent attacks of dermatitis and suf-
fered a good deal from loss Of sleep.
He often did not get to sleep till
dawn. Witness said soldiers in France
who suffered from nervous breakdown
also suffered from insomnia. That was
a very remarkable thing about those
cases. Replying to the judge, he said
insomnia would aggravate any ten
dency there might be to nervous break
down.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11

the crime there was in Colonel Ruther-
ford an extraordinary tranquility and
absence Of emotion. There was an
extraordinary condition, and there was
no attempt to cover up the traces.
There was no attempt to escape. There
was absolute frankness and there was
evidence that all sense of fury had
departed, SO much so that those who
came in contact with him treated him
as child to be trusted, both with re-
gard to conduct and with regard to his
word.
AFTER questioning the witness about
the two messages written by Colonel
Rutherford to his wife after the death
of Major Seton, Mr.. Humphreys asked:
Did he give any explanation why he
shot Major Seton? DR.. Hyslop re-
piled, Yes and then speaking with de-
liberation and evident emotion, he con-
tinued:
II asked Colonel Rutherford why he
did this. What had Major Seton done
to him that would justify his taking
his life. He replied: Major Seton
has had an evil influence over my
children l asked him in what way was
this evidenced, and he replied: when
in France l heard that they we're
quarrelling among themselves 1
said: DO you consider that sufficient
to take this mans life? He rephed
I did I asked him: Can you give
me specific instance of any way in
which your children have been affected
by Major Seton?' He said: Yes; on
one occasion one of my boys Chat Is,
Seton's godson) spoke Of big game
shooting in South Africa l said:
Was that suficient?' He said: Yes
l then asked him point blank: Have
you anything to say against Mrs.
Rutherford? He said: NO, nothing.
said: Have you had any doubt as
to the relationship between her and
Major Seton? and he said: NO, have
always had perfect faith in my wife
Il then asked him, continued the
witness, why did you fire so many
shots at Major Seton?' He replied:
Because l disliked to see anything
wounded l asked him many, times
IT he had modified his opinions since
as to the justification on such grounds
for taking Major Seton's life. His in.
variable reply was: 4 have not rodi-
fed my opinion, and I would do the
same again. That was until this morn.
ing, added the witness. when l ex-
amined Colonel Rutherford, and he told
mo the whole affair was very extraor-
dinary to him and he could not realize
that he was the person concerned. He
could not doubt the evidence which
had been put forward and reiterated
but he could not offer any explanation
as to the condition he had been in.

No One Opposes

Mr. OZakl, former Minister of JUS
tice under the Okuma regime in
1914, one Of the leaders Of the op-
position party, the Kensei and who
has just arrived at San Francisco
on a trip of investigation into the
labor conditions and on the influence
OF labor in politics, declared at an
informal meeting in February of
this year:
There Is no one who Is opposed to
the principle of the revision Of the
election laws of the country. 1t is
simply the question of the degree of
such changes. Only last year the pre-
valling sentiment of the country was
to lower the property qualification.
changing the direct tax requirement
from the present 10 yen to or yen
year. But this year the reduction
seriously mentioned is to 2 or 8 yen,
which speaks eloquently Of the demo-
cratic tendencies of the time. This is
nothing less than confession on the
ruled by the majority of its people it
cannot enter into the family Of civilized
nations. In other words, the question
whether nation can join the league
OF nations or not depends on whether
1t Is a majority ruled country or no. As
the result OF the revision Of the cleo
tion laws now pending we shall have
something like 100000 voters at the
most This is not enough. 1t is time
Tor our country to take heroic step
Tor the extension Of suffrage"
1t is said that Mr.. Ozaki is irving
to organize the first labor party in
the history Of Japanese politics.
Another leader Of the Kensei-kai
venerable figure in the House of
Representatives, Mr.. Shimada sa.

in their discussion and demand for
universal suffrage in Japan. The
"Tokyo Jill" one Of the leading
newspapers of the empire, in it's long
leading editorial Of March /, 1919,
said, in part:
THE question Of universal suffrage
up to this time has been looked upon
as an empty academic problem for
scholars. To-day it is being discussed d
in terms Of actual demonstrations by
the people. 1t grows in intensity and
activity from. day to day. The weak
ness OF our people is that they are
ever ready to get into fever over an
issue, and then as equally quick to
cool down. Therefore, it is not easy
to say just how long this movement
may persist. But universal suffrage is
natural consequence of a constitu-
tional government. Our country will
perforce be compelled to adopt 1t at
one time or another. Whether
long or not, it is apparent that move
ment of this sort is bound to crop up
from time to time until it will have
attained its final goal. We cannot dis
pute this conclusion in the light of the
history Of the more advanced nations.
1t Is a movement which cannot be
stopped, even if one wished to stop it.
Moreover, it is exceedingly dangerous
to try to stop by wilful means and by
interference Those In
office should by all means adopt the
policy Of non-interference, as long as
the movement does not threaten the
peace or order of the community, and
let the people say what they wish to
say, and do what they wish to do"

Right and Wrong

MIR. Iravers Humphreys-Have YOU
considered the question whether. when
colonel rutherford committed this act,
ne was capable of appreciating the diff
ference between right and wrong?
"Witness--I am of the definite opin
ion that at the time Of the commission
OF this act he did not know the differ
ence between right and wrong, and that
at that time, and right up till now. he
honestly believed he was doing right.
I'm determination by Sir Gordon
Hewart witness agreed that at the time
OF the act and up to the present time
Colonel Rutherford was insane.
Sir Gordon Hewart asked witness
II he had come to the conclusion that
Colonel Rutherford deliberately pre-
pared for the commission of the crime.
to which witness replied that he had
come to the opposite conclusion. Coun-
sci suggested that on certain of the
evidence Colonel Rutherford must have
appreciated the fact that he was shoot
ing Major Seton, to which witness re-
piled: 1 believe he knew he was shoot
ing Major Seton
"Replying to further questions. the
doctor said he believed when prisoner
went to find Major Seton he was so de-
pressed, so worried and in state of
such complete melancholy that he felt
life was not worth living. There was
possibility he meant to end his own
life
"Counsel-Are you representing then,
doctor, that your view of the evidence
is that the object of the prisoners
visit to IS Clarendon Road was sui
eide mot the object of visiting there.
but the object of taking the revolver
there.
"Dr. Francis Henry Edwards, for
twenty-six years medical superintend--
ent Of Camberwell House Asylum. gave
details of an interview with the pris-
oner, which followed similar lines to
that related by DR.. Hyslop. Witness
said he did not ask Colonel Rutherford
of what use the pistol was likely to be.
i personally had no doubt as to why
1t was carried said witness. 1T was
to kill Major Seton or to kill himself
Replying to the Judge, witness said
he had formed the opinion that Colonel
Rutherford knew he was committing
murder, but not that he was doing
wrong
Conclusion
"The judge, in summing up, said no
legal justification or excuse for tho
killing had been or could be put for
ward. He quoted as an extreme form
OF insanity the case Of the Greek hero
VINO, driven mad by the gods, DESTROYED
a flock of sheep under the impression
that he was killing his enemies. Tha.
was an instance, he said, where q man
was so insane that he did not know
what he was doing. But there was an.
other form of insanity, which, while 1t
left man with knowledge of what he
was doing, left him without the knowl-
edge that what he did was an offence
1T is of great Importance that iurics
IN these grave cases., continued his
'ordship, should not lightly accent a
suggestion Of insanity. but should sec
that it Is fully proved to their complete
