BK-KVTKK THK . VKWRITTKS LAW." Tbe bald facta aurroundlng the un aavorr Annla-Jlalni tragedy and the preliminary legal akirmiahing by the defendanta, puts the country on no tice that It may expect anoiner In terminable hysterical appeal to the ' "unwritten law," aaya an exchange. No one questions the right, the duty rather, of every full-blooded and aelf-respecting man to defend the sanctity of his home, titer all la aald and done, we are primitive at heart. The offense with which the dead man In this case Is charged Is of tbe nature calculated to tempo rarily unhinge the reason and per vert the will of ninety-nine out of a bundred men. Tbe law recognizes this psycho logical factor in all Instances where in deadly proocatlon playa a part In the perpetration of crime. It miti gates, If It does not condone, the of fense when it Is committed In the passing and crucial mania of re sentment. It provides. In the phraseology of the lawyer, a "cool ing time' In which the Injured party may regain possession of his facul ties and tbe ability to rightly weigh the portent louaneas of hla actions. It does not provide that the man sinned against may Indefinitely har bor hla wrong, brooding over It and lashing himself Into a condition bor dering on homicidal mania only to wait and wait, and plan and plan un til he has arranged all circumstances so that his victim Is delivered, help less. Into bis hands to deal the fa tal blow. From the evidence at hand, the present tragedy pursued precisely the latter course, Identical In its volution to that of the Thaw case. The Injured party had been aware of hla alleged provocation for months, lie had nursed his wrath, making It deadlier every day, and deliberately- awaited an opportunity to catch his enemy unarmed and un warned. And then, after the calm and me thodical enactment of the tragedy the "unwritten law!" ARK U K CIVIIJZKD?

When Tom Buford was In dicted and tried for the murder of Chief Justice Elliott at Frankfort. Ky.. because the supreme bench of the commonwealth had rendered a decision adverse to Buford In a chancery lawsuit, one of the main arguments of Dan Voorhees and "old Poll" Thompson for the defense was that the evidence showed that the accused had pretended that he knew as much about a racehorse as bis brother. General Abe Buford, tbe owner of Enquirer and McWhlrter. It was hoped and debated that Harry Thaw's Incarceration in an asylum would have a tendency to deter men from going crasy, when afflicted with the murder mania, but the event did not Justify the con celt: anl perhaps it would be very well for the legislature to turn the thing Into a written law providing that a man who goes crazy In order to commit murder shall be adjudged an Incurable, and put in a straight- Jacket the rest of his natural life. It Is mostly traceable to tbe de reliction of the courts that we have so many mobs. If tbe Judges did not permit so frequent miscarriages of Justice In criminal trials there would be less violence in the land. Civi lized man should depend on the law for redress of injuries, as they do in England. And yet It Is a truism that every people has the best gov ernment It will stand. In view of the enormous number of murders per million of our pop ulation, la It not pertinent to Inquire, "Are we civilized?" NKXSATIOXAI.LY INSTRITTIVK. A little more than a year ago Ar tist Earle shocked the countrv bv putting away a faithful wife because be said he had met an "affinity," says an exchange. Tuesday this same Karle was com mitted to Jail for wife-beating, tbe victim being the "affinity," not the original Mrs. Earle. He pleaded guilty. Only one excuse is offered for him by his friends that he Is crazy. We commend this sequel to the sentimentally Inclined, particularly those who doubt the soundness of tbe moral philosophy accepted for centuries. Tbe man who turns from an admittedly faithful wife to an "affinity" may be crazy, or be may be base. In either case he Is dangerous. Our moral canons are the result of hundreds of years of esperlence. They are not the dictates of a mo ment's impulse. The conventions of society have their root in tbe moral canons. Whoever trifles with either hazards much risks a life's happi ness to gratify a whim. That man or that woman who is faithless to one Is apt to be faith less to another. That one who Is in consolably discontented with one choice has misery Inherent In the makeup. This is not merely the rea son of mentality; It Is the logic of events and of human nature. Rebellion against reason and against the conventions is filling the world wltb unbappiness every day. It is also filling newspaper columns with scandals.

THE MAIL rOK NEWS f Simply Style Picked from our line of College Clothes for young As the tlniu for the opening of school approaches, no doubt a num ber of young people of Med ford and vicinity are debating in their own minds whether or not they shall re turn to school. They have been busy during the mi miner vacation and many are occupying good posi tlona with fair prospects for advance ment. All in all, the Inducements for giving up school to continue at work are apparently good. To such young people we would like to of fer a few suggestions for their con sideration before reaching a final conclusion, especially if Inclined to give up school. In the first place, remember that you are about to decide very Im portant and serious ouestlon. and lyour decision, will affect, not your present welfare nly, but all your future usefulness and happiness. Your advancement in. earning power and your opportunities for winning for yourself a place In society for usefulness and Influence are to be determined by your decision. The value of an education in de termining earning power Is quite In dicatlve of its value In determining almost every other phase of useful nea and happiness In life. The pres ident of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, James M Dodge, baa worked out along scien tific lines, results showing the great value of an education to an average boy of 16 making a start In lite. To such ft boy four possibilities lie before him: First, to remain an unskilled laborer; second, to be come a shop-trained workman; third, to acquire a training for an occupation In a trade school; fourth. to acquire ft liberal education before taking up bis trade or professional training. The progress of four boys along these four lines produce the following results: The first reaches his highest economic value at the age of 22, when his wage-earning capac ity is $10.20 ft week; the second has passed the first at the end of six years, and be reaches bis maximum economic value at the age of 24, with a wage-earning capacity of $15.20 a week; the third, before he is 21, has passed the first and sec ond and at 24 his wage-earning ca pacity Is $22 a week; the fourth, at tbe age of 19, is not up with the first, and, not until he Is 25 does be catch up with the second or rise above the horizon of the third. But at that time all his competitors have reached the II ml of their earning power their horizons and stations in life are fixed. From the 25th year on the fourth boy, in seven years, reaches an earning power of $43 per week, with his economic ho rizon and usefulness still broaden ing. These results of a careful scien tific Investigation reached by a com petent and practical person, speak for themselves and should be helpful to young people In deciding the ques tion of continuing in school or not. The possibilities of which of the four stations In life shall It be? V. S. SMITH, Sup't of Medford schools. men.

Although Rabbi Wolinsky of Brooklyn took unto himself a third wife three months ago, It has only become known to bis friends and neighbors, and It even came as news to his chil dren, grandchildren, great-grand children, great-great grandchildren and great-great-great-grandchlldren. Rabbi Wolinsky Is a white-beard ed patriarch who has passed 106 summers and hopes to pass several more in connubial bliss. The rabbi's latest wife was a Mrs. Shinney R. Shinskl, widow of a for mer friend of the o letngdlfwyppp mer friend of the old gentleman. About a year ago Mr. Shinskl died. And, as the second Mrs. Wolinsky had been dead only a short time the widower and widow sympathized with each other. Finally Mrs. Shin skl went to the rabbi's home to keep house for him. She was only a trifle over 70, a mere girl In the rabbi's eyes, and be grew to love her. So he wooed and won her. As soon as she accepted him the rabbi hurried to the marriage license bureau and got a license. Some gos sips Asserted that the rabbi con fessed to only 69 when obtaining his license, but there was no proof forh coming and he has never be?n ashamed of his age. He Is grand of it, indeed, and Is also proud of the raft that he has something like 1'0 living descendants In Russia and In this country. TORTl'RKD BY fONHCIKNCK. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1. Jos eph O.
