not only what is ON the lines,
but that which is between the
Lines. In that instan he jury
co, must have been wise. We
| SIMPLY cannot believe the Jury
believed the testimony of the
beautiful, six-foot blond wife of
the doctor. She, in all probable
lty, did the doctors case more
harm than good. The jury must
nave believed, as any one ma
turally, would believe, that size
'was attempting to undo that
which but for her own folly would
not nave been, the wrecking OF
her home, the disgracing of her
! husband, and the death Of he1
| man, vino should have gotten a
wife Of his own and let the othe
mans wife alone.
Wolves panders, pimps, OF
Whatever names one may wish
to call them, wrecked more
homes, thrown more marriages

more children than any other
evil we know of, ard the con-
V1ction of DR.. Rutledge should
cause no jubilation On their part
nor cause them to take any re-

razors, and guns are still in ex-
lsfence, ad honest men will still

die in defense of the sanctity of
No man has right to take an
others wife for a good time
without the husbands consent.
ITO die, to die for those we love
Is nobler far than wearing a CROWN
Ii home is to be the citadel Of
all that is pure and good, its
sanctity must be defended and
and protected in the same man
ner and with the same force ole
defends and protects the honor
of his country, by offering on its
altar the last full measure of
devotion, unmindful Of what hap
pens to himself. Marat was stab .
bed to death in the bath tub;
Damon and Robespierre were
guillotined, and ToussaiDt Lover
ture was allowed to starve to
death, but the principles for
which they died go merrily on,
and men have not ceased to die |
for them. AND THEY SHALL
NOT as long as the Congo flows !
to the sea. And men shall not |
cease to defend the sanctity of !
heir homes as long as wolves,
panders, and such home wreck
ers shall he at large. We are |
not unmindful that much Of this
fmatihg" IS done by
grass widows.
Home WreckerS are more dan
gerous than either mad dogs or
pJoisonons rPpniles. They prey !!
on the weakness Of the weaker
sex. They probe for some schism
in the home until they. find a
molehill out Of which they quick
ly make mountain. If the hus-
band is a busy person, they show
the wife how she ought to go
out for a good time-a good |
time with them (the wlves). If
the husband is a teetotaler, they
show the wife how she should |
drink and smoke and do ''like
other women In these baneful
ways they hypnotize her to their
lustful desires, so much so that
he will leave her house unat-
tended, ~Iisthes unwasbed, and
rush to the hospital or elsewhere
to see about her man. And should
the husband turn his back, she
will sneak off to a dance, show
and heaven knows where else
with her man. Who wouldn't
shoot or stab?
1t was plainly brought out in
the press that the doctors wife
and the man killed worked at
the same place. This brings to
mind the ever present on-the-
job spouses. When an unmarried
man and a married woman on
the loO get SO thick and FAINT
ar with each other that they
must find a private place to
lunch apart from the other en-
ployees, one knows what is in
the making, and the same is
true of a married man and a
single woman. These are on-tne-
job spouses- adulterers. And,
this condition leads to death,
hell and destruction.
An erstwhile client Of mine
shot the top Of fher husbands
head off about his on-the-job
wife and baby. A Cook county
jury acquitted her, as, in my
opinion, the jury in Linn coun-
ty should have done for DR..
