JUDGE IRVINE'S DEATH

Under the caption of "The Licking
County Patricide" the Columbus La
bor News, in it's last issue, speaks
editorially as follows concerning the
sad circumstances surrounding the
death of Judge Walter A. Irvine:
How terrible the retributive justice
which befell Judge w. A. Irvine,
former Probate Judge of Licking
County, when his son, crippled and
embittered by reason, as he believed,
of a fathers neglect and abuse, seizes
a gun and kills his own father in the
house and in the presence of the
minor children.
Every element of premeditation
and first degree murder is admitted
and yet no one who has followed the
Developments and the evidence but
who says that the crippled child
should go free.
But what of the victim? The
writer has known Judge Walter A.
Irvine intimately for many years.
Has known him as splendid military
man, through the grades of rank up
to Majorship, ability and military
spirit was ever apparent; as lawyer,
and as a judge he showed keen in
sight into legal matters and the
judicial temperament; as a member
of a great secret fraternity, his moral
obligations to his family, and the
world would have seemed firmly
anchored and invulnerable, and yet
the writer was conscious that all was
not we'll, as was the public, and the
writer some years ago made special
trip to the hovel which served as a
home to his family to try to persuade
him from his peculiar and unwar-
ranted life. Aside from a cordial re-
ception and lengthy conference little
good resulted, and from then on the
writer had little hopes that the life
which had promised much would re-
suit in disappointment and wastrel.
That it ended in such a tragedy is
hardly surprise.
One remark that possibly throws
some light on the clouded situation
was made by Major Irvine to the
writer, it was, "My mother was a
Scotch woman, and when she got hold
of dollar, it went out of circulation,
and l guess I've got good deal of
the mother in mel"
May the memories of an abnormal,
and may we almost say a perverted
father, not cloud the future lives of
his innocent wife and children. The
distressing circumstances must be
ameliorated, forgiven and forgotten
as fast as the orderly processes of
the law will permit.

Veasey's nomination, he being an ex-soldier himself. A near riot was caused at the polls when the ex-service men were barred from vot- ing because they did not have their poll tax receipts. The question was put up to Attorney General Arbuck- le and Governor Brough and both of the officials telegraphed the election officials to permit the ev-service men to vote and it is on these grounds, we learn, that the defeated candidate is going to contest the election. The case will come up before Judge Hay nie at the April term of circuit court in Hampstead County.

Drawing Rooms Crowded
Despite the weather.

AS matter of fact, in these days of
electrically heated limousines, nobody
seems to mind the weather. Mrs.
Lansing, Mrs. Palmer and the rest of
the Cabinet women, who were receiv-
ing on Wednesday, had their drawing
rooms crowded all afternoon; and I
don't believe the storm kept single
person away from Mrs. Palmer's
beautiful reception on Thursday aft
ernoon. This was a sort of family
party given in honor of the women of
the judiciary circle, the wives of the
Justices OF the United States Supreme
Court, of the United States Court of
Claims, the United States Court of
Customs Appeals. the District courts,
etc. with the Cabinet women, the
wives of the Department of Justice
officials and of the members of the
Judiciary committees of the House
and Senate asked to meet them. Mrs.
Edward Douglas White, wife of the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,

her place for the frst time in the line
with the other Cabinet hostesses. In

down the line" are few and far be-
tween.
Mrs. Meredith's first appearance in
her new role of Mrs. Secretary OF
Agriculture" was last Wednesday,
when she received with Mrs. Houston,
wife of her husbands predecessor.
And this was also Mrs. Houston's
debut as Mrs. Secretary Of the Treas

formal but particularly delightful
dinner which the Secretary of the In
terror and Mrs. Lane had given for
the Houstons the night before to cele-
brate Mr. Houston's promotion. 1t
was a very successful reception which
Mrs. Houston had, and there were
shoals of callers despite the perfectly
villainous weather.
