I A shland 1 daily THÉ DfllhY TIDINGS EDITORIAL! a n d PE dZOBOZ HADDZM nam it, ASHLAND D A ILY TIDINGS OUT OUR WAY “ The way of the transgressor is hard.” We congratulate the federal postal inspectors and other officials who were responsible for the b rin g in g to justice of the three D ’Autremont broth ers for the dastardly and cold blooded murder they committed. Those inspectors whose tenacity of purpose and steadfast determination brought to the bar of justice the thfee cold blooded murderers arouse in deep admiration of the forces of justice. Without loss of interest, and without abatement of determination, the search for the suspected per petrators of the most cold blooded murder in the annal« of railroad history were hounded, ' If the D ’Autremonts had alive in them the least bit of conscience these three years they were hound ed, moving from place to place—ever fearful of capture, ever followed by a deadening fear must have been most horrible. Then came the asounding developments in the case—a case of the most perfect chain of circumstan tial evidence imaginable. Hugh Was captured, the noose dangled about his neck as experts in the deduction of crime told of what they had found—this scrap of evidence, that scrap of evidence which must necessarily mean that this thing was true. Many folks were sceptical. It was like a geometrical puzzle. The thing had been nicely fitted together. It was a powerful case, but it was all circumstantial. Then came the conviction of Hugh, the astound ing confessions. The details of the murder as por trayed by the prosecuting attorneys had not been too vivid, too cold-blooded or too graphic. The con fessions dovetailed exactly- with those deductions of the criminologists and others who had worked on With that high effeciency in bringing to justice criminals of this type, and the splendid determina tion of officials to solve those confounding mysteries it is a mighty certain thing that murder will indeed “ out.” 1 The trial is ended. The criminals have been brought to justice. They must pay for their crime. And the people can do naught else than admire and thank those who were responsible for the solu tion. Why Fewer Walk Now The modern hiker is one who walks to the edge of town to “ bum” a ride in the first hospitable auto mobile to come his way. But perhaps there is some thing other than indolence responsible for the dwind ling number of walkers. That other reason may be that automobiles-haye left no room along the country highways»for the ped estrian. Where there were once walking or bridle paths meandering along beside the carriage road there are now hard surfaced motor highways broad ened out over both nmdway and pathway. If the walker has ceased to walk he has done so partially because he takes his life in his hands when he takes to the open road and because, no springy path being left him, he must pound along hard roads or tres pass on somebody’s meadow. So intent has the public been upon building im proved motor and trucking highways that sight has been lost of the need of preserving the old footpaths and providing new ones. It is virtually true that the pedestrian has vanished from the open spaces, but it might not be so if there were some open spaces loft for the pedestrian’s use. Since walking is of such immeasurable value in the preservation of good health and in the preven tion of disease it is a national calamity that the walking paths are disappearing. Paths abounding in natural beauty might at least make walkers out of the motorists at the end of the motor trip. W e wonder just what the D ’Autremonts mean Honse waa chosen by Mr. Coolidge with the idea of fishing for anything more than fish. He seems to ba angling in fine fashion for strength of the great western country. We suspect if the “ Spirit of Milwaukee” should ever start |cross the ocean it would head straight for the Rhine and bring back a barrel of the foamy suda. ------------- 1 Ito wondfer jus What the D ’Autremont« meat when they asked for a square deal.
