Such Men Rare, He Says

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-1n reading over the letters
which you published regarding the re-
cent tragedy of William Tanner and
his wife, fail to understand how some
people can brand the man a coward or
his act one of selhshness. Let those
who so condemn sometime stand in the
path of an approaching express train for
a test Of their courage and observe how
quickly they are willing TO seek safety.
How would our critics have regarded
it had there been no children? Could
it have made his act nobler? Think Of
what it will mean TO those children
when grown up to know of the supreme
sacrifice of their father.
Such a high type of love and respect
as evidently existed between the two is
rarely found today. Had we more, our
divorce courts would become obsolete.

Protest came in many letters to the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER today from
readers who objected tn the views of q
writer signing himself m. NJ. NJ
who expressed the opinion that William
Tanner, of Hubbnrds Woods, ILL.,,
died a coward because he remained
at the side of his wife when train
rushed down upon her and left three
little children unprotected in the world.
Some, while insisting upon Tanners S
high courage, were not disposed to de-
fcnd suicide, even when self -destruc-
tion was inspired by devotion to wife.
Others denied that death in such case
could be classed as suicide. These
pointed TO soldiers in battle. II SOL
dicr who goes forth to certain death is
the lofticst of heroes, If he dies in a
spirit Of patriotic devotion, they urged,
wife is not less hero.
Tanners words, when he reached the
decision to remain with his wife and
die. Mary, I'll stay with you" have
inspired Philadelphia poet, Thomas
A. McMahon. OF 1875 Vine street, to
send some verses to the EVENING PUB
Lie LEDGER, with a note in which he
| said:
MY heart was touched when l read
the story of the man who SO nooly

The international Sunday School Lesson For March
16 Is "The Cities of Refuge"-Joshua 20
By William T. Ellis

Great Britain and France, more
than our favored land, underwent a
veritable wave of Juvenile crime and
moral 1axity during the later years
of the war. The loosening of old
restraints and conventions; the abb
sence of fathers and officials; the
Iapotheesis of violence in the public
mind; the concentration of public
interest upon overseas problems
all these considerations have been
factors in producing a condition
which is an after-the-war problem.
Even the returned soldiers them
selves. men of action, do not find it
easy to submit to civil law.
Obviously, the war will have been
won in vain If the safety OF all men
and all the orderly processes of or
sanized society, and the sanctity of
Justice. are not now firmly estab-
1ished In the earth. All the consid-
erations that led to the overthrow of
the lawless Hun should now operate
ito preserve us from reign of law
lessness. 1t is a timely lesson from,
the story of ancient Israel that the
Sunday schools study today.
Justice should have a heavy hand
in dealing with offenders. With the
Jews, as with all other Orientals, the
shedding of blood meant one thing:
swift and certain punishment in kind.

"Whoso sheddeth mans blood" ran
the sure law, "by man shall his blood
be. shed" Crime was vigorously
dealth with. There was no maudin
sentimentality shown to a murderer;
condemned slayers of their fellows
did not in those days receive baskets
of flowers and fruit from sympathetic
women.
Undoubtedly one cause for the in
crease of capital crime is the fact
that so many murderers go unpun-
ished. That, too, is why lynchings
have attained the proportions almost
of an epidemic All of this is closely
related to the fact that certain class
es of. powerful criminals have been
able for yeras to defy the law with
impunity. 1t is, impossible thus to
overthrow justice from her seat in
one case, and then to expect her to
resume her sway in another. Except
law be unhindered/ always its oper-
ations cannot surely be counted
upon ever. America has been more

Law is quite commonly looked upon

Even courts sometimes show an ex-

SOME INTERESTING
FACTS ABOUT TIME
tBy Garrett P. serviss)

Great are the uses of confusion
ness behind it for then it may result
in strong grasp on the truth, when
it is cleared up. Living on a globe
which turns around fixed axis
has always been a source of men
tai confusion for its Inhabitants.
Its rotundity and its axial rota-
ton produce deceptions of the
senses with which even science finds
it convenient TO compromise. vs.
In the case in hand, putting aside
the failure of the writer to say
clearly what he means in. his con-
tradiction of his friends erroneous
opinion, it is evident that there is
confusion in the mind of at least
one of the bettors concerning the
effect produced on the apparent
position of the sun by regarding 1t,
at the same moment from opposite
hemispheres of the earth.
1t makes an enormous difference
whether the hemispheres consider
ed are north and south or east
and west. Buenos Aires lies about
rs Ia degrees of latitude south of
New York, and only about II
degrees of longitude east of New
york The former would corre-
spond to over five hours of time If
it were a difference of longitude
but being a difference of latitude
it has no effect on the time, al
though the two places are in op-
posite hemispheres.
The other difference, viz. Is 1-b
degrees in latitude. has an effect
on the time amounting to a little
more than. one hour. Thus, night
begins and day dawns about an
hour earlier at Buenos Aires than
at New York. But If you could tip
the axis of the earth over so that
the poles should lie on the equator
then what is now latitude would
become longitude, and the clocks
of New York and Buenos Aire:
would be about as far apart as
those of New York and London are
at present, while. on the other hand
London and New York would differ
in time less than three-quarters OF
an hour, and New York, Madrid
Naples. Constantinople, Bokhara
and Pekin would differ only a few
minutes from one another.
At the same time. it must not be
assumed that places opposite to
each other-one in the Northern
and the other in the Southern
hemisphere-may not differ SO
widely in time that midnight for
one corresponds with midday for
the other. The things to look for is
the difference in longitude. which
is measured east and west. and not
in latitude, which is measured north
