time will come when all laws and conventions will be abolished. They will be abolished when people become self-respecting."
 What is new about that? Simply a doctrine of selfishness, and goodness knows that unpleasant human quality has no novelty about it.
 And what has Miss Conrad to say for herself?
 "LovE HIM FOR IDEAL"
 "I love him for his ideals, not for the man himself" she states.
 "I will sacrifice my love at any mo- ment for those ideals. I know that Mary Wrenn Garland, Charles's wife, looks on me as a thief, a vampire who has stolen her husband. She has denounced me to my face as traitor This strange girl can find happiness in an intimate relation with Garland at time when his wife is expecting another child. And to add insult to injury, she says:
 "I pity Mrs. Garland" Pity is one form of contempt. But Mrs. Garland is not to be pitied. People who are apt to feel this emo. tion for her had better save it for Miss Conrad and Miss Benson, who are searching for the "Bluebird" and seem to have found nothing better than a Bluebeard
 My first duty is to Charles" con- tinues Miss Conrad, and one is sur prised that the word duty" is in her 0-per-cent-for-freedo vocabulary!
 "FREE TO GO BACK"
 Charles is free to go back to his first wife, whom he still loves. He is free to go to any other woman, even as he came to me. I will share him with anyone elser or I will give him up forever"
 va sweetheart or platonic friend, seems to feel that money means much in her young life. Mrs. Garland, as mothers will, may feel that it would be nice for her husband to provide for his children, and it is said that a settlement has been made for them.
 Does Lillian Conrad care what any one thinks? She does not, thank you just the same! She says:
 q do not live according to the standards of the world, and therefore I do not care what the world thinks"
 That's all very well as long as Miss Conrad is the heroine of the unusual affair. But she may not al- ways play that stellar role. Like Mrs. Garland, she may be supplanted. Charles says so himself. Miss Con- i rad has returned to her art school at Boston temporarily to mediate af, fairs.

NE WORK, Feb. 11.-Do women particularly wives, take things too seriously? The question is prompted by statements made in the Garland case, now agitating supposedly staid New England. The story is one of wealth, soulmates and philosophy
 Every time you assume some one else's responsibilities you take that much out of your own life, and out of the other persons that is essen tial to your own. or to his own, de- velopment.'
 So much for the newer and treer love, as lived and preached by Charles Garland, of North Carver, Mass, the youth who once rejected fortune of a million, but finally accepted it to give away.
 Garland is not interested in accumu- lating dollars. The personal equation diverts him more, and in it he finds adventure not to be equalled by the hoarding or spending of wealth.
 Because of his insistence upon liv- ing as he thinks best Mrs. Charles Garland, who was Mary Wrenn, has

 GARLAND's FEMININE TRIANGLE
 Miss Lillian Conrad, Boston art stu dent and once secretary to Garland s mother, is the chief cause of marital discord With her Garland lived fol some time and will live again he says
 Miss Doris Benson is another young person who has problems of her own" To work them out she will try to breathe the rarefied atmosphere that surrounds Garland by moving tc nearby farm" With Miss Benson Garland's relations have been merely friendly, not intimate. as in the case of Miss Conrad
 To his wife the idea of sharing the millionaire idealist with another wom an is abhorrent So she left him. Prob ably her eccentric husband would say she takes life too seriously.
 Marriage contracts are but empti ness. Garland says he has found out in the last few years. Every sen tence of the ceremony is replete with hypocrisy and of all poor human promises the one which pledges to forever love and cherish is the most misleading.
 No man or woman, he contends can make such promise, since it is not within the minds power to tore, tell what the heart will do
 SOON EXPECTS CHILD
 Mary Wrenn Garland Chow hfe-lke her own simple name soundsO has one child and expects soon to become a mother again.
 What must she think of it all? The refusal of her mate to accept mil lion-dollar estate, his denial of the value of money, any money; and his attachment to an amazing young wo- man who says she asks nothing from him except his companionship; and his platonic friendship for another girl who finds it necessary to live near him.
 For some one all this talk of free dom and soul sympathies and throw ing away money must be heartrend- ing.
 This man who shuns responsibili- ties seems to be putting himself in the way of securing a great many of them. Hear his defense:
 Lillian Miss Conrad) has consid cred what it would mean for her to come to live with me, and that is her business.
 "I want you to understand that we are not turning our backs on conse qlences and probabilities when we take the step we do. We have consid cred what may happen and are pre- partd to face our problems when they come up. cannot tell you what would do, but feel that can find the solution if the occasion arises.
 HYPOCRISY FOR ME" q don't say that the marriage cer emony is a hypocrisy for everyone but it would be for me. Every line of it, more or less, contains an under lying hypocrisy, but the promise te love and cherish is the most deceitful It is not within a mans power tt promise to love and cherish, because his emotions are not within the con trol of his intellect.

prominent men from different Sec
lions of the United States. were pres
ent at the organization in Washing

people attended the banquet given at
night. Addresses of approval were
made by prominent men, including
Mr.. Gompers. Nearly every division
OF the Federation of Labor was rep
resented. The object of the new Or
ganization is declared to be nonpo-
litical. 1t seems to be a revolt against
reactioaary policies of the govern
ment. The new move will be watched
with much interest.

MURDER WILL OUT"

1t is an old saying. that murder
will out" The facts do not bear out
the truth of the saying in all cases.
Several foul murders have been COM
mitted in our own time and cities,
that have, after years, remained I'M
solved. The Ewell murder in New
York two years ago, after the most
thorough investigation and search is
still mystery. and the case has
been dropped. There is another muir
der mystery, as yet unsolved.
On the night of September ii, of
this year, nearly three months ago,
as the readers Of newspapers know,
Rev. Edward Hall, Rector of a large
and fashionable Episcopal church, in
New Brunswick, N. j. and his choir
leader, Mrs. Mills. were murdered.
Their bodies were discovered next
day, lying side by side in an old or
chard, just outside the city Both had
been shot and the womans throat
cut. The sensation produced can best
be imagined, not described. After two
months search and investigation by
officers of the law and small army
of detectives, large number of wit
ncsscs were called before the Grand
Jury. After several days investiga-
ton the Grand Jury adjourned, and
stated that no evidence had been pre-.
scented which would justify an indict-
ment, and so, the case was dropped,
ut least for present. and one Of the
most brutal and sensational murders
of the century, promises to go the
way of unsolved mysteries.
The murder and accomplices were
the only eye witnesses Will these be
able to carry the secret to their
graves or will conscience goad them
to seek relief in confession some
day?

TOMMY ROT"

A prominent churchman was asked
the other day whether he was an evo-
lutionist, n pre- or n post millinaran
He replied: much of all this talk in
the papers is tommy rot" This may
not be considered very elegant
phrase, but it is. at least expressive.
Quite discussion threatens on the
pre- or post theory of the millennium.
Who knows and what difference
does it make anyway. Insted of the
religious weel1lies wasting time and
creating trouble by II discussion which
can never be settled perhaps, let them

less and disturbing question of prc
or post, and also the evolution ques-
ton. Again, who knows? They tel
us that the scientists are only guess
ing.
There is lot of guessing too, on
the other side of the discussion. No
one has ever yet been injured spirit
ualiy or morally by believing all the
Bible, from Genesis clear through to
the end of Revelation, but many have
wrecked along the other line. Let the
preacher preach the gospel, and stay
on their own ground where they be-
long.

BONDS OR NO BONDS.

The Governor, he thinks. has not
data sufficient to justify calling u
special session of the Legislature to
consider the road bond question. r,
few votes are necessary, it appears,
to constitute majority for the .-o;,d
bond issue.
1t would be unfortunate to pass the
bill by only small majority. AS Il
}matter of fact the voters in this I'M
mediate section are not enthusiastic
on the issuance of bonds for roads
or for any other purpose. as to that.
They are just through paying their
taxes which increase yearly without
any apparent benefit to the public,
and are not in good humor, and if
left to the electorate Mt this time the
strong probability is that the vote
would be against bonds. The respons-
ability is rp TO the governor now. Let
him take the "b.t in his teeth" and
go ahead.
If it is fact that II small tax on
gasoline will build the roads. all
right. Let the automobile people be
taxed. Some of them may be driven
1T the road. No harm done. There
are entirely too many automobiles

After five days of the Senate Gil
buster against the Anti-Lynching
l:ill, so called. the matter is now set
tlcd to the satisfaction of all con-
ccrncd. AT II minimum expense the
Republicans have established them
selves once more as the friends of all

Seldom has n farce been staged

bill would not be allowed to pass.
He knew that it was unconstitutional
and could not fail Of being thrwn
out by the Supreme Court. lie did
not want it passed or found consti-
tutional, nor did his associates in the
Senate. The only excuse for bringing
up the measure was the necessity
for somehow reinforcing party lines

Tagging JUSTICE IN NEW
JERSEY.

|, New York World. Nov. 3O.)
1t is, seventy-six days since the
bodies Of Rev. Edward w. Hall and
Mrs. Elenor Mills were discovered
near New Brunswick, N. j., and the
sole tangible results thus far of crime
tracing activity on the part of the
State is the failure of the Grand Jury
of Somerset County to return indict-
ments.
New York State, where the Elwell
murder case remains unsolved, might
seem in no position to comment on
this beggarly outcome of the most
sensational murder in the vicinity of
the metropolis in many years. But
there were elements of mystery in
the Elwoll case which do not exist in
the Hall-Mills crime It is much
simpler in its essential facts, much
more prodigal of clues which compe-
tent detectives should be able to fol-
low to less lame conclusion.
Two families, one rich and infiuen
tial, one in humber circumstances
are most deeply interested in this
case. The newspaper accounts have
represented New Brunswick, perhaps
unjustly, rs discussing with some
thing almost resembling pride the
crime which has brought notoriety to
the city, and the Importance of in
huences enlisted in behalf of one or
the other group of survivors. They
represent the relatives of the slain
choir-singer as about the only people
aggrieved by the failure of the Grand
Jury to act. Applause was heard in
the jury room at what was supposed
to be the announced result of tho
vote on indictment.
1t is difficult to imagine anything
