TANNERS DEATH WITH WIFE
DESCRIBED AS HERO,S ACT
Decision Reached by Man Die When He Found He Could
Not Sare Her Upheld in Letters TO Evening Public Ledger

vation is the first law Of nature. and
it works out nearly every time. vii IL
liam Tanners act proves he was one
man out of hundred. In my estima-
ton it required courage of the first
water to stay on the job. No one can
deny the act was foolish, but it was
noble impulse. and. as &c. T." says.

be left to suffer want in this world"

thing, and any other man would have
done it, If he really loved his wife as
Tanner did.

To the Editor Of EUeutno Public Ledoer:
Sir We arc very interested in the
letter of "Critic." which appeared in
the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER, Thurs
day, September 4, 1919.
Our opinion of this man is just the
opposite of "Critic's." We think this
man did perfectly right. He must have
loved and valued his wife as a right
kind of husband should. He was
true husband and the kind we think
every woman would like to have.
"Critic' says hc did wrong to leave
the children and die with his wife. His
wife must have been worth his life.
Perhaps when he saw the danger Of his
wltc he forgot the children.
We hope there are others who have
the same opinion.
a HAPPY FAMILY.
To the Editor Of Evening Public Ledoer:.
Str-ln regard TO the Tanner case so
many have so many comments against
his act. Do they stop to think what
they would do in case like that? Not
many men would care or dare to die as
Mr.. Tanner did. Many men are afraid
of death and especially when they know
it is upon them. OF course, it was over
in an instant. But are there many that
would have done as he did? | hardly
| think so.
There were the babies, of course. 1t
does seem pitiful. But let them ask
themselves, What would ! have done
Most men would have turned their heads
and let her die alone.
God will provide way for those
babies. Seems He always has looked out
for such. 1t does seem hard.
I think ones life is all laid out be-
| fore them. 1t was his way to die, was
it not? Many will not agree. But that
is the way, I think Something would
have restrained him had bis time not
come.
No one knows what they would do in
a case like that with only a moment to
decide. l am sure if they will only
stop and think they will agree.

moments in it.
John Taintor Foote has not written
this piece with any aim OF elcvating
the stage or Christening morals with a
smile, though he has plenty of smiles
and few hearty laughs in his comedy
scenes. His loftirst aspiration has
been to write play that would enter
tain without shocking. 1t can be done.
He has done it. He has not wandered
far afield in search of new Southland
types. The familiar and easily identi-
fable figures of the "Ol' Mis-, " rapt
