Questions Legal Status of Pythians
Attorney Wilson, after citing nu-
merous authorities, questioned the le-
gal name OF the order and set up the
fact that they had not conformed to
the mandates OF the statutes. SO ten
aciously and masterfully was Atty.
Wilson's argument presented. that the

planning order of Pythians, now stands
in the embarrassing position of estab-
fishing their right TO prosecute under
the name that they have been using
for years.
New Trial Involves Serious Conse-
quences
In case Atty. Wilson is successful
in securing the new trial for Mr.. Au-
ter, experts declare that the entire
business activities, including the bene-
hciary policies under their present
form OF issue, will be nyalidated. The
result being the Pythians will be com
pelled, it is estimated, to spend over
$50,00000 before their entauglements
can be rcadjustcd Atty Wilson had
the bond Of Mr. Auter reduced from

FREE FOR ALL.

Man is coming into his own again. He is
being emancipated. He may soon have equal
rights with the women if the verdict of that
California coroner's jury is sustained in the
future. At Fresno man beat his wife to death
when he found her with another man, and the
jury has declared this was justifiable homi-
eide. So at last justice is not going to be SO
blind. She may not wink merely at pretty girls
who join in the pastime of Staying their hus-
bands or lovers or paramours or whatever you
wish to call them. Heretofore most juries have
announced that ladies with winning smiles had
a perfect right to kill whomever they pleased if
they could offer fair excuse afterwards. But
If man did the same thing it was a crime.
But that is to be no more Hereafter man
will also have equal suffrage. If he tires of his
wife or feminine friend and manages to dis
cover her in situation which does not exactly
fulfill the public ethics of the day; he is to be
at Liberty to slaughter her. 1t will be justifi-
able. This is making murder fair and free for
all. That is right. There should be no re-
strictions according to sex. Why should law
or civilization or society be considered? Surely
we are getting back to the jungles quite rapidly.
