London Letter
A. P. Correspondence

LONDON. - Gable Letter. Another
step has been taken in the direction of
securing for wives equality of treatment
with husbands so far as the law is con-
cerned. The house of commons has
given a second reading to the "Sepera-
ton and Maintenance Order Bill" to give
1t it's cumbersome official title. 1t is
designed to straishten some matrimonial
tangles and remove various matrimonial
infeilcities which are largely attributed
to the fact that in many ways the law
does not treat the sexes alike.
Must Leave Home.
AS the law now stands, according to
the sponsor for the bill, Sir Robert New
man, wife who wishes to prove cruelty
against her husband has to leave home
first, and she is torn between fear of him
and fear of abandoning her children in
his charge.
American Wireless.
British government officials are giving
close study to American methods :of
wireless broadcasting and gradually are
adopting some Of them. While the wire
less telephone is not as popular in Eng
land as in the United States, due largely
to government licensing and control, the
people are beginning to show intense in
terest in 1t.
Some OF the big London department
stores have established wireless depart
ments and are selling receiving sets for

Big Offer to Shaw.
George Bernard Shaw has been offered
500, 900 year for five years by an Amer
lean syndicate to produce two motion-pic-
ture films each year. Tho author made
this announcement himself at dinner
OF the Society of Authors in London.
Declaring that the cinema rights Of a
single story might be worth $4,000, he
urged young authors not to be too ready
to give. concessions to cinema producers
or literary promoters, among whom, he
said. there was unfortunately no absolute
standard of honesty.

A COURTEOUS LETTER OF
EXPLANATION

1t has been said that dozen people
witnessing the same event, no two will
agree In their reports. .
The Journal recently published an
account OF an aftray, following an al
legged search of premises for liquor,
the account having been signed with
what purported to be the name of a
responsible correspondent of the town.
However, the following courteous
letter from Deputy Sheriff Martin,
sheds a new light on the affair. The
deputy was one OF the actors in the
affair, AID not merely a spectator, and
in addition writes with s. convincing
ness that carries conviction that il is
a truthful account. The deputy explains
as follows from Chipley, Florida, The
Journal detecting the names as I'M
necessary to set Mr.. Martin straight,
and in order that the matter be not
continued:
Editor The Journal,-Will you please
give me space in your paper for pub
LEGATION Of the following statement? In
The Journal there appeared an article,
printed under the following headlines
Alleged Brutal Conduct by Prohi
searchers," in which the report pur-
that occurred at a home in Caryville,
but the article published is so utterly
foreign to the facts that j am sure you
win do nae the courtesy to let me state
them in order that your readers may
know what actually happened.
On the night Of June 10th the writer
deputy sheriff, in company with
John Black, another deputy sheriff
was just passing by this house and
saw the mans wife deliver a bottle Of
rum to a negro woman. We saw where
she got the rum, from a jug in a back
room. We started in and the lady, as
soon as she saw US, took the bottle
back from the negro woman and threw
it out in some bushes near the house,
As soon as we entered the house, with
out any inquiry whatever, she rushed
on Mr.. Black, and the writer went on
back and got the jug and two bottles
OF rum. Black merely tried to hold the
woman off of him in the mean time,
and upon my return she turned on me
and broke the two bottles Of rum and
tried to take the jug away from me
and to keep her from breaking the jug
also or to keep from having to hurt
her to keep her from doing IT, 1 had to
set the jug DOWN ana nOiu neTs fSGle uAu
all of the fighting and cutting up. We
never struck her and never kicked her,
and never broke any Of her ribs. About
this time the husband came up and
asked me to let him have her and that
he would see II he could do anything
with her Che fought him just like she
had Us, and he had to slap her several
times and after he got her in the house
we heard him hit her. Before he got
in the house, however, he had to call
on me for help TO get her in, and we
had to carry her in the house.
There is not a word of truth in the
article about neiEhbors hearing her
screams and rushing to the scene. She
did a lot Of screaming all right, but It
was purely voluntary. II In true We had
no search warrant. We had no idea Of
searching her place. We were merely
passing by, and went in TO take posses
sion Of what we saw. We didn't need
any search. warrant.
Respectfully,
G. p. MARTIN,
Deputy Sheriff, Washington County.

The Frankenstein monster set free
cannot be controlled.
Murder and suicide hysteria run
through the country in waves.
Mob and riot hysteria is subject to
the same influences, the influences Of
example.
A precedent has been set.
The first precedent was set by the
march OF the miners through the Min
60 district OF West Virginia.
That this, with the notorious delays
and impotencies of the law in the pros
ecution of those Of the offenders who
were arrested had a conscious or un-
conscious influence at the inception of
the murderous advance upon the
beleagured strike breakers in the strip
mine OF Herrin, can be considered
reasonable.
That the two presidents win not be
forgotten II occasion offers to give
pretext to another demonstration. must
be admitted.
That the impossibility OF visiting
punishment will also be taken into
account by the dastardly criminal ele-
ments which may contemplate further
outrages, must also be taken into &C
count.
This impossibility of punishment is
factor OF exceeding gravity.
Gov. Small, in his bombastic demand
upon the states attorney of the affect
ed district to bring the offenders to
trial, fails to take It into account.
Thereby he renders himself little
less than ridiculous,
Press reports state that about 5000
took part In the assault. Each man has
the right to a separate trial. With one
week to each trial it would take 100
years to go through the cases.
What is TO be done?
Little or nothing-after the fact.
Preventive measures only can be of
any avail.
There are no communities in which
there are possibilities of similar out
freaks that have authorities sufficient
ny strong to cope with any such stu
alton.
To call upon the Federal authority
before an overt demoAstration is above
the law, and not expedient in any case.
In addition. calling upon the Fed
eral authority raises perplexing, not TO
say highly inflammarory oomplica-
tions, which. with the present plant
personification Of placi1aness at Wash
ington ruled by sinister personages
who would have overatved even Mark
Hanna, probably would induce condi-
tlons which It would be we'll to avoid.
The most available preventive meas
ures are for the mine owners and oper-
atives 10 sit tight for the time being,
despite their desire to exact their
pound of constitutional rights. and
give no excuse or preteEt for further
Herrins.
In the meantime theEe.is a solution
TO the whole affair.
1t is a very simple ore, and there
fore, of course, without any possibili-
ties
1t is this-one week OF good old
simon pure Americanism and common
sense in the House. the Senate, and

AboIIshIna supreme Court.

While Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin
was making a speech to the American
Federation Of Labor practically demand
ing the abolition of the Constitution Of
the United states, the trustees of the
University OF the South at Sewanee
adopted this resolution, proposed by
Judge John L. Dogsett Of this city:
Resolved, that all candidates for an
academic degree be required to take a
special course covering a period Of one
, term, in the American Constitution, with
special emphasis upon the spirit of the
founders Of the republic. and it's inter
probation by the highest courts Of the
land
We do not think we do injustice to
Senator LaFollette in saying that he
practically demanded the abolition of the
Constitution Of the United States. What
he proposed was that IL the supreme
court declared a law unconstitutional
congress could make II operative never
theless by reenacting it. This govern
ment as originally created did not give
congress unlimited powers and it was
the duty of the courts to decide when
that body passed the bounds that marked
the limits of it's powers. Senator LaFol-
lette's proposition was that congress, by
passing bill a second time, could go
as far as it pleased and this would be
practically an abolition Of the supreme
court and Of the constitution at the same
time.-Florida Times Union.

IT'S NOT ELBOW GREASE
BUT SOAP FAT THAT
TAKES DIRT OUT

Some laundresses wash as if
they would rub the very ridges
off the washboard-and yet the
clothes look grey.
Other laundresSes hardly seem
70 do any rubbing at all-and the
clothes come out spotlesSly clean
and white.
The difference is that the lat
ter use science; and science has
taught us that it isn't elbow grease
but soap fat that takes dirt out.
In Rinse, the scientific balance
of soap fats with other cleansing
materials has been found. Its al
most magical Suds just soak out
the dirt that your muscles used to
have to rub away.
When you use Rinse you need
do no rubbing except on the par
ticularly soiled places that always
do need special attention, and yet
your clothes will be as clean as if
you had toiled over them In the
old back-breaking way.
