The Slaughter of Husbands.

NUSToDIANS of the law are having their grief
v curtailing the rights of the ladies. Pronounce
mcnt has gone out from various sources that pro.
miscuous shooting of husbands has got to stop.
Scarcely a day passes in the land OF the free that
some husband isn't sent to his heavenly home by
an enangered or jealous wife. 1t is really quite the
mode to bump off a fractions mate in this fashion,
and gives the self-made widow no end of publicity
and endless offers of matrimony from other men
who seem to banker TO offer themselves as gun
fodder.
The comment is usually made, when some fair
criminal has laid her rivallow in the dust, that she
showed poor judgment III not killing her husband
instead. 1t is so very difficult to secure convic-
ton against a woman for Staying a mere man, es-
pecially a mere husband. The consensus of opin-
ion is that he probably was not fit to live, any.
way, and more power to the lady for Kidding the
state of an undesirable citizen.
1t is doubtful whether any of these killings arc
actuated by true love. Mostly they are caused by
the deadly fear of seeing the meal ticket snatched
away and the probability of having to go forth
and toll eight hours a day to earn the requisite
money for meat and crackers. A contributing ele-
ment is outraged vanity. When a younger and
prettier woman caromes across a wife's line of vi
sion on her husbands arm her ~self-loye is cut to the
core and primeval instincts of revenge well up in
her heart.
A better system than going in for heavy artillery
would be for the lady to secure a divorce and
promptly marry some one else, Ito prove to the
recreant one what a treasure he had lost. Reno is
still operating, and there are other places almost
as convenient, where aggrieved wives may secure
DEGREES which leaves small excuse for a woman
to have recourse to murder. The argument is al
together in favor of divorce when domestic affairs
have reached the breaking point with n Don Juan
ish husband. The cost is cheaper and less fraught
with dangerous possibilities.
Unless prOmiscuous murder of husbands ceases,
it will be so shortly that no one except the nerviest
of men will care to enter the blessed state.
England woke up the other day and hung a hus-
band poisoner and two hemispheres went wild over
the matter.
Then America convicted one of her red.handed
sisters, but in all probability will carry the joke
no farther.
Yes, these female gun-toters ought to be sup
pressed. We all agree. But how are you going
to do ii, with public sentiment in its present con:
dition?
These reckless girls will not suppress themselves.
That's certain, because we are constantly asking
them TO do it. A request from n district attorney
or a judge to park her sidearms on the back bar
gets no result. She don't do it. She retains them
and what Is more, uses them when the notion
strikes her.
Much as we hate to do It, guess we will have
to resort to hanging, our lady killers like we do
some of our reckless males who get gay. There
seems no other way.

Super Bosses.

WELDING to the same impulse that has already
i induced baseball, movie and theatrical inter.
Csts to appoint an overload or super-director over
their destinles and the Judgment of their meth.
dds, the makers OF wOmen's dresses have delegated
a like authority to a single person to control their
business.
The proceeding is d~ictinctly novel for although
czars and dictators have been common enough in
the past hitherto it has been customary for them to
elect themselves to these positions, and their sub
jects have been ~obedient, not because they wanted
to be so, but because they couldn't help themselves,
In these modern instances, submission is moro
than resigned-it is voluntary, and in seemingly
confident expectation that thus happiness, safety
and prosperity are to be secured.
The surprising element In all these cases is the
humility shown by open confession that n master is
needed to prevent the servants from doing wicked
or foolish things, to their own injury and that of
the people around them. The spirit may be n
beautiful one, but how strange! In none of these
cases have, the persons who thus are giving up or
restricting their individual liberty in the manage
ment of their own affairs been noted for lack of
self confidence-for eagerness to get advice from
outsiders-for willingness to admit that any one
of themselves was wiser and more ~virtuous than
any one of the others.
Yet Just that is what they are doing now! Ap-
parently they are glad to lose a freedom which
they have come to consider too expensive In either
money or reputation, and they have lost what
used to be regarded as the natural desire of every
man whose soul was not that of a slave-the desire
TO do what he would with his own to whatever Elk.

The Farce Growt1g.

THE FAILURE of prohibition enforcement on
i Iand and the failure to stop the inflow of
liquor by sea, the persistence of the local distlller
throughout the land, the general joke that is made
of prohibition by people who should have more re-
gard for the law of the land, is getting under the
skin of those who would have strict obedience on
the part of everybody.

selves TO drift along in such a fashion. They live
their lives, but they overlook the fact that they
could be living them a whole lot better if they
would inform themselves at least on the events
that are happening every day around them.
There are a great many persons who do not seem
to know the need of keeping abreast of events.
They glance Mt the newspapers, perhaps reading
tho headlines, but they do not read carefully
enough TO get the gist of the world events that
eventually come home In a much more positive way
than the average man realizes. Then there is the
more serious reading Of informative magazines.
There are certainly enough of them to go around
and provide the kind of reading that will give val,
liable and enlightening comment on what is going
on In this country or abroad.
Reading of current periodicals should form n
regular part of our school curricula. 1t is done to
n great extent, and there cannot be too much stress
laid on this feature of education. Education may
be considered as being something which should
consist more in the formal instruction that is OBJ.
