Mrs. Charles r. Frazier Of jack
sonville, Fla, convinced that her
husbands stenographer was break
ing up the Frazier home, waited
for the stenographer and shot her
dead with five bullets. ..
Mr.. Frazier at once had a phys
lcal breakdown and has since had a
second breakdown. According to
his wife he had taken away the
three youngest of her five children.
and wrote, "If You let me get q
divorce / will bring the children
back" Had he not written that
letter he might not have had the
two breakdowns, and the stenog-
rapher might not have been muir
dered.
How do you explain the fact that,
when a primitive man finds that
his wife is false he kills his wife,
whereas a woman, when her hus-
band is false, kills the other
woman? The explanation is simple
without any help from Freud. The
wife through the ages has killed
the other woman, saving her hus-
band, because her children might
need him. The husband kills the
false wife, because it is easy to get
at her, and sometimes dangerous TO
attempt to kill the other man.
Children in Sunday school are
taught that our acts affect others
and spread far out, like ripples on
the water when a stone is thrown
into a pond.
There are such ripples in the
Frazier killing case. Mrs. Murrell,
mother OF the murdered stenog-
rapher, accompanied by the stenog-
rapher's former husband, attended
the funeral, Driving back, their
automobile collided with that OF
Martin Padget,, killing him In
stantly, injuripg Mrs. Murrell and
the former husband. Thus Mrs.
Frazier's five bullets, Indirectly.
killed Padgett, OF whom she had
never heard.

Too Much Crime
Sentiment
Mrs. Frazier's Five Bullets
Kindness to Animals

Robert Elliott Burns, committing
a robbery in the State OF Georgia,
was put to work on the chain gang.
He did not like it, escaped twice.
and a book and moving picture
have been prepared narrating his
alleged sufferings, called Il Am a
Fugitive From the Chain Gang"
In addition to his holdup in
Georgia, it appears that Mr.. Burns
is also a fugitive from New York,
accused of forgery. Georgia wants
him back to finish his sentence.
Governor Moore Of New Jersey re-
fuses extradition and the fugitive
from the chain gang" is safe and
free in New Jersey.
After his release the crow d
pushed and struggled to congratu-
late him. All very pretty, but max
ing a hero of a criminal should
not be overdone. Those who say
"in his holdup he got less than So. -
should remember that he got all his
victim had. Had he had $1,000 he
would have taken that, and, pre-
sumably, would have been $4,995
worth more cheerful.
In addition, this particular GRIM
ipal, like thousands Of others at
large in this country, would doubt
less have murdered the man held
UP had he resisted. 1t isn't wise 10
he too enthusiastic, or fearful abont
q young gentleman who, after being
indicted for forgery, goes out on the
highway to rob with the possibility
of murder.
It is the opinion OF this writer
it would be a wholesome thing to
let Mr. Burns go back to Georgia
and learn that not everybody in the
United States sympathizes with
holdup men, gangsters, counter
feiters and potential murderers.
Georgia may be annoyed by exag-
gerated accounts of her prison
cruelties, but she has one comfort
that other States haven't, holdups
In Georgia are comparatively few
and gangsters avoid that State,
They don't like people that take
crime seriously. ...-

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TEST OF RESOLUTIONS

It will be interesting to note what the reaction
will be among members of the American Legion
as to President Roosevelt's plan to eliminate GER
tain allowances to veterans.
In his determination to reduce the cost of fed
eral government, and make a stab at balancing
the budget, the new president has announced his
intention of abolishng pensions for exservice dis
ability except for those totally and permanently
disabled.
Thursday night, the local Legion post adopted a
resolution pedging undivided support of the presl-
dent and rededicating the legionnares to the per-
petuation of 'our government, its ideals and in
stitutions.'
Patriotism in the abstract is not unpopular but
when it comes directly home different color IS
placed on the proposition. If the Legion can meet
this situation that the president proposes and meet
it smilingly and with approval, this great organ
ization of ex-service men will stamp itself with the
label of true patriotism. We are of the belief that
the majority of the Legionnares will be moved by
the same great impulse of patriotic duty that led
them from home and freside, from comfortable
living and substantial salaries to state of real
danger hunger and privation at $50 month.
The Legion, if it does not oppose President
Roosevelt's program of compensation reduction
will show to the country that it is unselfsh or
ganization, bound to the duty of taking care OF
the real war casualties those who were disabled
in service.-Charlotte News.

to bear on Congress; busiy employed in
writing letters and sending kilograms to
Congressmen and Senators. These minori-
ties are organized. Much of the predica-
ment in which the government finds itself
is the result of the activities of organized
minorities in the past few years. Govern
ment expenses have mounted to present
proportions as a result of these activities.
The government is going in debt at the
rate of two billion dollars year as result
of these activities. The government IS
headed for bankruptcy, and is travelling at
the rate of an express train, as result OF
these activities.
The fight in Washington, the fight which
is on throughout the country, is a fight be-
tween these highly organized minorities,
now living off of the government, and the
great body of unorganized citizens, who
have no Hobbies in Washington and send
no kilograms and write no letters. The
only means of Offense and defense three
fourths of the country's citizens have is
the BALLOT. They must use it. The
newspapers have listed the votes of Con-
gressmen when the House acted Saturday
on the Presidents economy program. The
great American public should make note
of this voting. In the future, responsibility
for conditions must be placed where it be-
longs.
The record is that Congressman Weaver
voted to support the President. He voted
for the economy program. 1t is reported
in the newspapers that when the economy
bill comes to the Senate, it will be support
ed by Senator Bailey and opposed by Sen
ator Reynolds. This may or may not be
the way North Cardinals Senators Will
vote. The people should keep their eyes
and ears open. They should read the news
papers. They should keep informed.
The Times-News is confident that three
fourths of the people of this country are
with President Roosevelt and for the econ
omy program Organized minorities may
make sufficient noise to intimidate the Sen
ate. We shall see.
