Not Protection Enough.

Had there been a better form of pro-
lection than $500 bail to keep the peace
imposed upon an unwelcome admircr a
double tragedy that was enacted here 8
day or two ago might have been averted
The shooting Of Estelle Stanczewski, by
Vincent Nowicki, who ended his own life
after seriously wounding the young
woman who resented his attentions, was
tho act Of a semi-crazed man, stung to
indignant protest because his attentions
had been resented and he himself held
in bail to keep the peace. While Just
such procedure is provided for under the
law il has been shown again and again
To be inadequate TO afford protection to
the party endangered.
What other protection could be afford
ed il would be difficult TO determine.
Small bail. as we have said, affords
insufficient protection TO remove the
fear and dread Of the offense being repeat
ed. and often it only further inoenses the
accused individual, as was the case Of the
Young madman who ended his own tlhc
believing that the young woman had been
killed by him. There is always fear q
the return Of the culprits and a repetition
of the offense. and the woman who turns
to the law for protection in such cases
as these is almost as apt to increase hel
peril as she Is to gain protection.
Perhaps no one could suggest an en-
aetrnent to meet all conditions. but the
matter is deserving Of the most careful
consideration. The shooting Of Miss
Stanczewski 'is peculiarly one that calls
attention TO the need Of better legal
nrotection for women who resent the
insistent overtures of lust-maddened
foreigners unscho~led in restraint and
without respect for our laws.

THE GIFT or MEMORY.


OF all the gifts which God has given 10
warm and cheer the soul of man,
The gift of memory is supreme, the
crowning jewel in His plan,
Without il all that's good would fade snd
love would have no tenderness,
There'd be no keepsakes for the past, m
little shoes or faded dress.
Without the gift Of memory TO coniurc
up by-gonc delights,
The hours would lonely be and long, and
dull and dreary all oar nights:
The dead would then he truly dead and
lost TO us beyond recall,
And every joy which VIC have claimed
would vanish when the shadows fall
Friends would be ours for just day, their
gifts would never treasured be,
We could not read the splendid past with
out the book Of memory;
And every deed of greatness here which
makes the world better plaoc,
Could not endure to thrill and rouse the
children Of future race.
Here is the treasure house Of man where
all the joys Of life he keeps,
Gods precious gift of comfort for the
lonely mother when she weeps,
His inspiration for the brave-HIs pledge
divine which makes IL sure
That love is an immortal JOY, and all that s
good shall long endure.

Who Killed Cock Robin?

Conan Doyle should have thought of
Elwell; the idea 10 entirely too good 10
be wasted on ordinary police headquarters
and plainclothes men. Here is the real
problem in manslauRhter. A gambler oil
10 many infidelities that an examination
of his correspondence and check STUBS
leads to discovery of one intimacy after
another is slain by a jealous woman or
jealous husband. The question is, which
woman, or which husbnad, or, II none
of these, at any rate, who? The quest
is more perplexing than locating needle
in haystack; il is comparable to search
for the typical San Franciscan In San
Francisco. By the time you have used
the processes of induction and deduction
on every suspect the murderer or murder
ess has had time to circumnavigatc the
earth. The New York police are about
TO give up the mystery as unsolvable,
and it is just as well
Nobody really cares much who put
Elwell out of the way He seems to
have lived more in short span than the
majority would get around to If they had
a thousand years to put in on this planet.
~He was a dangerous male to have around,
at once attractive, promiscuous, and
unprincipled. He didn't live up to the
civilized rules, and his passing leaves no
gap that the nation longs to have ililed.
If we followed our instincts in the matter
we should probably hunt up the man
or woman who shot him for no other
purpose than to pin some KIND OF
medal on his (or herr breast. But the
hunt is the thing, not the quarry. The
public looks on fugitive from justice
as bloodhound thinks of the animal
he is>tracing. The mystery must be
solved or We can't sleep at night. We are
willing to let a thousand philosophc
questions go unanswered, but VINO

How bright would be these drowsy sum-

How sweet my loiterings through shady lane
And berry gatherings in untrod ways
So soon so very soon the long hours go
Alas that fate should make me use them sol
Chill silence reigns within my dTsty cot;
No song no cheerful clatter greets the
morn;
Each day with dropping heart face my lot
To search mid cold-eyed greed and open
Tall grirny buildings scaling endless stairs.
Finding no answer to my anxious prayers
Where are they hid--to what enchanted isle

Let us bespeak large attendance for
the Kent-Sussex fair, to be opened at
Harrington on Tuesday of next week. 1t
is understood that the best garden,
field and orchard products of the lower
counties will be exhibited and that there
is promise that the fair will become so
useful and popular. that it will become a
regular autumn fixture. The fact that
seventy agricultural fairs are to be held
in PENNSYLVANIA this fall indicates that
these displays of crops and live stock are
coming into favor again, and that the
people are ready to patronize any such
undertaking if it has merit-that may
have the flavor of interest OF education.
There should benothing of greater value to
the farmer than these autumnal gatherings
that come after the hard work OF the
season is well over, to show the best of the
harvests and of the yield of the orchards.
