ED ORAL .
THE lRREPRFSsiBiF IAN

THE Rev. j. w. Ham, Of Atlanta
in our estimation, wins The palm
for the most brazen example Of pull.
pit effrontery seen in these parts III
many years. Standing before his
congregation in the Baptist Taber.
nacle, one of Atlanta largest II not
most fashionable, churches Sunday
night, he called for the death penalty
upon the young Peachtrec bandit,
Frank Dupre, and vehementIy declat-
ed that anything short Of. banging
would be a travesty on Justice. He
raked the newspapers oper the Goals
for printing sob stuff about the
Dupre case, then went on to parade
the whole sordid story before his cou-
gregation.
Pastor Ham is a publicity seeker Of
the most persistent type. He horns
into every sensation which develops
in Atlanta that he thinks he can use
to attract attention to himself. Com
ing to Atlanta about the time Billy
Sunday visited that city several years
ago and thoroughly aroused it, he
piifered Sundays methods, had HIM
self photographed by the news photog-
raphers in typical Billy Sunday ath-
letic poses and published them in
paid advertisements. Since then he
has injected himself into dozens Of
sensations, with no other apparent
purpose than to focus some of the
lime light upon himself.
In the Dupre case, his remarks
were not only uncalled for, but ac-
cording to our viewpoint constituted
d positive and wilful contempt of
court and should be sternly punish
ed as such. Coming two days before
the date set for the trial of the ac-
cused youth, they were calculated
and evidently intended-to influence
huhlic opinion against the lad who
under the law is guaranteed a fair
and impartial trial by jury of UNI
rrejudiced men. Parsom Hams re-
marks prejudged this case, and in
creased the already great difficulty
Of giving the boy bandit fair trial.
That his attorney is justified in ask
ing change of venue would appear
well founded.
Perhaps Parson Ham is right in his
conclusions; perhaps Dupre deserves
nothing short of the death penalty.
Because of his extreme youth, how
ever, he being less than 10 years of
lage, there are many fathers and
Irnothers, when they consider their
1own boys and imagine them in the
same predicament, who will feel that
his age is a mitigating circumstance
and that the ends of justice could
possibly be served by life sentence
rather than the extreme penalty.
Be that as it may, mercy and love,
not vengeance and hate, are the basic
principles of Christianity of which
Parson Ham stands in his pulpit as
the exponent and advocate. He is
not doing the cause of Jesus Christ
any good; such men do not increase
the respect for the church in the
minds Of thinking people.

keys. Didn't woman make a mon

 It cannot be questioned that in this state wife married since the act of 1877 became effective can sue her hus- band on contract. Indeed, she has the same right to maintain against the hus- band. as well as third persons, any action which she could maintain if she were a feme soel.

 I have examined the plaintiffs bill of particulars with considerable care.

Such expenses as rental Of telephone, expenditure for jewelry and for traysI are not to be included in such necessary expenses as an abandoned wife may sue her husband for. says Judge James 1T Webb in an opinion in the suit of Mil- ired 4. Arnold of Groton against her husband, Leslie P. Arnold, of New Lon don, which was a non-support case tried before Judge Webb in the superior court In this county.
 Mrs. Arnold claimed she had spent $2,- 900 for her own support since the day of her marriage and sued her husband for S5, 900 damages to recover the amount that she had spent. She claim ed $100 per month for reasonable sup port. Judge Webb threw out charges for telephone rental travelling expenses and jewelry, which were included in her hsil of ,nartlcuisrs, but allowed her judgment for S1,276.99 to cover the time from her marriage, Aug. 15, 1917 to May 26. 1920, the date of the bringing of the action.
 Arnold was in the D. S. aviation scr vice and the marriage was a clandcstine one and kept secret until some time aft CT his return to. New London in 191a, after a tour of duty.
 Judge Webb,s memorandum of decision in the Arnold case was as follows: The plaintiff and wife of the defendant alleges in her complaint the utter failure of the defendant, her husband, to provide

 was offered showing that the husband wal
