History ia his story not hers.

History is his story, not hers.
Woman plays only a secondary
part in the history Of the world. as
written in the records Of mankind.
Bright smiles and brighter eyes may
have swayed the course of empire.
but the annals mention them Incl
dentally, as if somewhat ashamed of
their impertinence.
Is it not curious that the mother
Of men should thus be relegated to a
secondary place In the history of men?
Perhaps the bees handle this bet
ter than we do. In the communities
Of these little people the queen bee
Is decidedly chief. The functions of
the lordly males are decidedly subsid-
iary in character, as befitting those
whom Nature has designed to play
lesser roles in the drama of the hive.
There are legends of savage tribes,
too, in which the mother-inlaw as
we'll AS the wife orders the husband
around.
These cases are exceptional. &ow-
ever in the order of things. MosS of
the tribes Of creatures, including that
of man, whom God made but little
lower than the angels. have succeed
ed in evolving male dominance.
In his story, 1t Is not to his credit
that women, for countless ages. play
ed the part merely of slave. plaything
hurden-bearer. One Of the noblest
results of Christianity is that 1t has
largely helped to raise woman into the
status of friend and companion of
man.
Leaving aside the economic results
of strength. as displayed in Warlike
activities, and the necessary resist
ance to irimical factors, 1t is interest
ing to contemplate what life would
be like today if history had been
herstory.
Surely it would have been better.
in many respects, if women had con-
stituted the dominant force in the
history of mankind to date. While
one school Of philosophy holds that
women are essentially, and often
mysteriously. different from men, an
other believes that men and women
are essentially the same in their
thought processes.
It would seem certain, therefore,
that if women had had control from
the beginning. practically all that
the world has to it's credit in the
way Of real achievement, invention
and the like would be ours just the
same.
NOt only would we nave the sew
ing machine, the dredger, the steam
shovel (all Of which seem made in
Marion, Ohio, the radio. the type
writer, the telephone, the phonograph
the can-opener, the knife-sharpener,
the X-ray and thousand others, but
it is reasonable to suppose that wo-
men, If they had had the opportunity,
would have improved upon all these
inventions.
If women had been in control Of
the world, we would be in possession
today of sewing machines that would
run like breeze, dredgers that
would scoop up twice as much mud
with half the exertion, radios that
would pick up China every night,
typewriters that would never jump
the letters. telephones free from the
dulcet voice of that cunning Central,
monographs that would never run
down, can-openers that would watt
the lid off the tomato soup with the
bat of an eye, knife -sharpeners that
would transform the edge Of a
shovel into a razor
How could it have been otherwise?

Mob Law Defies the Court.

Mob law has taken three more DVeS

a barbaric manner. This crime was
not committed in the heat of passion
caused hy q recent Offensc, but was
precipitated by the action of A court
in directing n verdict of acquitta1 for
one of the trio, on trial for conspiracy
to murder.
The lynching Is thus not the usual
eruption of fierce feelings. caused by
an outrageous orfense, but Is
manifestation OF resentment at the
judicial procedure The three people
who were killed had previously been
tried and convicted of participation in
the Staying of a sheriff during a whis-
ky raid, two being sentenced to death
and the third, a woman. to life i'm
priSonment. On an appeal to the
State Supreme Court q second trial
was granted. On Thursday the judge
ordered the acIuitt;u of one of the
trio on the ground that he had not
been shown to have been party to a.
conspiracy. Then the mob spirit
famed and deiied the court and COM
mitted the outrage, which has elected
expressions of horror and reputation
from officials and many citizens. An
inquiry Is in progress TO ascertain the
identity OF the participants In the
mob.
Cnjustihable as it is from every
I,oint Of view. this crime nevertheless
IS a reflection Of the fear entertained
by a large proportion of the people
that the technicalities of the law may
prevent justice. There was no doubt
whatever that the sheriff who led the
raid was killed by occupants Of the
house. Just who fired the fatal shot
could not be determined. All who
were on the premises were suspected.
Inasmuch as it was impossible to
prove just who had discharged the
shotgun with which the sheriff was
killed, the charge of murder could
not be laid upon an individual and
the charge of conspiracy was substi-
tuted That IS a difficult charge to
prove Conviction was had at the
first trial upon what may be termed
general proof of probable guilt.
Tho upper court refused to affirm it,
The second trial court eliminated one
Of the defendants. Then the mob
formed and the triple tragedy was en-
acted.
1t does not follow that the technical
ttce should be abandoned because
their invocation leads to the acquittal
of n person accused IN circumstances
which point rresumptiveiy to guilt.
But the intervention Of the mob in
South Carolina undeniably indicates
that there is Il certain degree of public
impotience with the processes which
shield those who are believed to be
guilty.
Mob law cannot be permitted to
supersede statute law in this country.
The sureSt way to prevent 1t Is to
speed the courts. clear them of JUS
tice-defeatiEg complexities. and assure
promptnesS and certainty of trial and
punishment of all guilty persons.
And to that same end those who have
thus defied the court in this latest
passion in South Carolina should. II
possible, be identified and punished
for their murderous deed.
