Free government must be through political parties. The countries which we consider or speak of as backward continue to suffer most because they do not have well- organized political parties. When changes are desired, they are often driven to revolutionary methods to gain what is wanted. We ought not to expect perfection in our government—certainly not when it is in the hands of the opposition, and certainly the opposition does not expect it of us when the power is in our hands. I don’t know of any other method of perfecting our form of govern- | ment except through parties. One person becomes ineffective in any | effort, and the only method for success is through co-operation.

The entrance of women into business and industry has given them a new respect for their powers and has made a profound difference in their attitude toward marriage. The fact that two-thirds of the divorces in the United States are granted on demand of the wives does not prove that two-thirds of the blame rests with the husbands. The root causes of many divorces runs back into the undisciplined and individualistic freedom of premarital living on the part of both women and men. After a youth spent in indulgence, too many prodigal daughters, discontented with their marriage, says in the words of the prodigal son, “I will arise and go to my father.” | \ | | The professional and business woman is ceasing to be conscious of | her sex or to claim special consideration because of it. While women in politics may still be inclined to capitalize femininity, the novelty will soon be gone. It is in the less well paid forms of employment like the factory and | domestic service that the struggle for women’s rights still is chiefly to be | fought. Justice in these realms can be secured only by the co-operation and recognition of women among themselves and by a Christianized imagination which can understand the emotional factors involved. VENGEANCE NOT FOR SOCIETY By LORD BUCKMASTER, Former British Chancellor | J Every single one of the arguments used today in favor of capital punishment as a deterrent was used, and for a long tme with success, in the early part of the Nineteenth century when capital punishment was a common penalty for civil offenses. . . . In each case you deny the sacredness of life. You have taken to your- selves, either as individuals or as the state, the power to take away that which you can never give. . . . I am not satisfied as to capital punishment being a deterrent. I think that always assumes that a man creates a balance sheet when he is going to commit murder, and puts capital punishment on the debit side against anything he might get on the credit side. There are a few calcu- lated cold-blooded murders, but the bulk of murders are nothing of the kind, but are crimes committed when a man loses control of himself. I don’t think that society has any right to wreak vengeance upon any- one. It is my belief that the real deterrent against crime is social opinion. It is not the police nor the laws. It is the healthy public opinion which affects and surrounds a man from his youth—I am satisfied myself that it is to that more than anything else we owe the lessening in our crim- inal characters, PUBLISHERS PROTECT PUBLIC By W. E. HUMPHREYS, Federal Trade Commission. Publishers throughout the country are to be credited with responsi- bility for the success of the campaign of the federal trade commission against fraudulent advertising. In the last six months, according to fig- ures I have gathered, publishers have rejected not less than $100,000,000 | worth of questionable advertising. As a result, the public has been pro- tected from being robbed of not less than $150,000,000. The press in this matter has rendered a great public service. I believe that within a year the advertising columns of publications will be practically free of that class of advertisements that are plainly false. But whether it takes a year or ten years, or however long it may take, the fight is going to continue until these fakers and crooks and scoundrels who live by robbing the nnwary and unfortunate are put out of business. In this undertaking we have the support of every honest publisher in America. We have the support of every honest advertising agency in America. We believe that we have the support of every honest and decent American citizen. LAWYERS MUST “CLEAN HOUSE” By CHIEF JUSTICE CHARLES EVANS HUGHES Attempts by lawyers to thwart the administration of justice by delays, sharp practice and chicanery should be unsparingly condemned. They have no place in a profession where skill and honor should go hand in hand. Even when purged, as it should be, of its delinquents, the bar is only at the threshold of its opportunity to devote its technical knowledge to the effort to adjust the mechanism of justice to the demands of a com- plex society to which old methods in many respects are unsuited. While improvement in this direction is necessarily slow, bar associa- tions may immediately perform a great service in strongly insisting on the selection of capable prosecutors, magistrates and judges, : | | | had of any . ; : .p | common knowledge that Peckm: ren- and unless the people give the President their support, the country will | ‘ “¥ledge that Peckinan get | Mrs. Peckman started divorce proceed- | ings against Peckman April 15.

The quarrel that precipitated the tragedy began when Peckman gave Elizabeth and Frank a nickel each and told them to go out and get an ice cream cone. Mrs, Peckham ob- jected to their leaving the house and hot words passed. In his anger the husband seized his wife by the throat. She screamed and called for young Michael. As he heard his son getting out of bed the father released his wife and, drawing his revolver, headed for the bedroom door adjoining. Just as the boy emerged dressed only in his night shirt, the father shot and then wheeling, fired at his wife. With almost the same motion he point- ed the gun to his left side and pulled the trigger. Son Spreads Alarm.

OR four years Jack and Elaine had been in love, At least, that was the general opinion in the clique in which they entertained and were entertained. And that fact also gave rise to much friendly spec- ulation, for they were the only couple in the seven which composed the “gang” who were not married, The girls, who were all young enough to be referred to in the social columns as “nee.” were inclined to lay the blame, if it might be called blame, at the feet of Jack. They con- ceded as one that he was mid-Victo- rian in many of his ideas; that he re- garded the woman's place as in the home. and felt that he should accumu- late his “stake” before burdening him- self with the shackles of matrimony and the attendant responsibilities. They were sorry for Elaine, without committing themselves by making a statement of that fact, The men were more frank in their eriticism. “If 1 had a girl like Elaine eating her heart out for me.” declared Fol- well to the group of four who sat anda of the coun- t it wouldn't take utes to give the nd rush, Itis a languidly on the v try club, “you can | me more than ten : license bureau the pity he doesn’t sec “Oh, he sees it, right,” retorted Bill Grimes, “and again, there may be another side to the story.

Why don’t you get him to open his little bag of tricks?” There's Prescott now, digging up the turf on the links. Call him over. He'd be glad for a legitimate excuse to get himself out of that sand trap.” Prescott came on the run in answer to their call. “Have you seen Jack Day any place?’ he was asked. # h,” he exclaimed, around “left this | moroing for a business trip to New York.

You have an imagination. struggled into his trousers and with- | out shoes, stockings, coat or hat, ran to the meat market next door east and spread the alarm. He was stretched acrcss his own bed unconscious when police arrived. on the floor and the father only a few feet from her. In the man’s pocket when the body was searched at the coroner's office was found a letter written in the Hun- garian language. According to Detectives Eugene O'Gorman, Charles Byron, and Harry Quinn, Peckman was a heavy drinker and particularly quarrelsome ever since he and his wife separated. He frequently threatened to kill his wife. The detectives relate an incident that occurred when he came to the house Sunday, May 4. He had just filled a glass with water preparatory to taking a drink when his wife made some remark. He crushed the glass in his band, unmindful of the cuts inflicted. “Like that glass, 1 will crush you some day,” Peckman is quoted as hav- ing said. Peckma# was at the house recently, too, according to neighbors, who said | that occasionally they heard loud | words.

He called Lorimer on the phone, almost incoherent with excitement. “You and N 1e are to be best man and bridesm: he exclaimed; “I want you to he on hand at Grimes’ place the night of the party in your tuxedo. I'm 2 to pull a mock wed- ding. I'll he license with my wife. I haven't yet decided whether to make it the real article or to have a theatrical agency send up a fake minister to rform the ceremony: What do you think?” “The idea sounds good to me,” said Lorimer, “but I'd suggest you get a theatrical agency minister. Keep your- self out of deep water if you can. I'll put the rest the gang wise and secrecy. [I'll also arrange to pick Jack and Elaine up at the station and bring them to the party.” The “gang,” with the enthusiasm of zealots, entered into the spirit of the intrigue and « contributed some- thing to make it more elaborate and felt, as one, that although the affair would be merely a joke, it would bring to a head the question they had debated among themselves. They entered into it as actors who are playing a drama with. in a drama. The stage was set. The arrange ments were made and every detail had been attended to, as carefully planned as a stage production. In excited knots of two and three, the actors of the comedy talked over their roles in subdued voices, At nine o'clock Lorimer drove up in his car and deposited the intended victims on the front porch. He went into the house with them, They entered to find the place a bower of flowers. taken from them, and, flanked by Lorimer and his wife, Jack and Elaine were led into another room, which was arranged, even in detail, to look like a small chapel, At the other end of the room stood a minister. Jack and Elaine looked at each other with startled expressions. Then they smiled at each other and in their smiles was a note of acquiencence, They marched up to the minister and, without a tremor in the voice of either, pronounced the mock marriage ceremony after the mock minister. This was the unexpected, and it showed plainly in the dumbfounded ex- pressions of the audience. Prescott retrieved the situation by gesticultaing wildly for silence and telling them by pantomime to follow his lead. The mock ceremony was over and the bride and groom turned to re- ceive the congratulations of their friends, but no one stirred. The joke had gone too far. There seemed no alternative but to disillusion the young couple and to confess the complicity of every one in the hoax, Prescott stepped forward to explain. Before he could speak, Jack touched him on the shoulder. a minute, Bill,” he exclaimed, something to say.” He turned to the crowd with an odd smile playing about the corners of his | mouth. “Elaine and I want to thank you for arranging this little surprise for us,” he said; “we certainly appreciate it. We feel that it's the next best thing to being married at home, and it was thoughtful of you. But what we can't understand is this: How did | you know about it so oon?

Justice by Ordeal The Celts in Ireland, the Germans before their conversion to Christian- | ity, and the early Slavs made use of various kinds of ordeals in administer- | ing justice. They allowed the defend- | ant to prove his innocence by remain- ing unhurt while undergoing the or- | deal. There were two forms of the ordeal of iron in use. One was to allow the accused, blindfolded, to establish his innocence by his ability to avoid step- ping on red hot plowshares, from six to twelve in number, spaced a certain distance apart. The other form com. | pelled the accused to carry a red-hot | iron, usually for a distance of nine | feet. This ordeal was generally chosen by persons of rank.
