One woman in Detroit has been discovered whom the Clarksburg man had prom- fhed to marry. This woman, like the wictim ‘whose body has just been dis- ®overed, also had three children. Pler- son, it would seem, had written her Jetters almost identical with those that were sent to the Chicago widow who ‘was S0 unlucky as to join her “flance.” only to be slain, with her children. This lmfly thére are potential Mhu. enough to keep it going. ‘The agency through which such murderous schemes are worked is guilty s an accessory. It should be prose- cuted. The fact that the vietims are foolish and are blameworthy for their unwise yielding to temptation to find mates and homes under the promise of fortune and comfort does not lessen the responsibility that rests upon the medium through which the bait is oftered. The Chicago woman who went to her death at Clarksburg is sald to have mortgaged her home before going to join her “flance.” This was probably in response to his suggestion. Had she but taken advice from some trust- worthy friend before acting she would probably have been spared the terrible tragedy that befell her. But in such matters advice is not sought. The glamor of a romance induced by the clever pen of a distant correspondent— whose letters appear to have been masterpieces of allurement—was too much for her common sense, which should have told her that the chances were altogether against the man's being honest and inspired by decent motives. It is to, be hoped that this shocking crime will cause the cleaning up of these criminal agencies, that have in the past done so much harm and are even now in this day of greater en- lightenment operating to promote the evil alms of fiends. A i Britain's Credit. ‘When a government within a span of thirty-six hours can arrange to borrow | $400.000,000 abroad. on top of a previ- | ous advance of $250,000,000, it may justly be claimed that its credit is mountain high in the money markets of the world. Bankers of France and the United States between them have just placed the first-named sum at the disposel of the new national govern- ment in Great Britain for the specific purpose of stabilising sterling exchange. Due to the chaotic political and finan- cial conditions which preceded the fall of the Labor government, sterling fell steadily abroad. Its collapse was fraught with as many dangers for the interna- tional money structure as the flight of capital from Germany produced earlier in the Summes, The $400,000,000 Franco-American credit will be utilized exclusively to defend sterling. None of the new loan of $400.000,000 will be applied in reduction of the earlier $250,000,000 loan to the Bank of England. The new and largér transac- tion is purely a private banking opera- tion, The American half of the credit will come from & group of 110 banks, headed by J. P. Morgan & Co. The Prench portion of $200,000,000 will consist, of a $100,000,000 banking credit and a $100,000,000 one-year British treasury loan to be sold to the French public.

The death of the eighth Schneider Cup contestant, the blue ribbon event of speed in the air, has just occurred in England. Lieut. G. L. Brinton, youngest member of the British team, in training for the race next month, was killed instantly when his tiny ship struck the water at more than two hun- dred miles an hour. In giving his life to the all-important development of speed in airplanes Lieut. Brinton fol- lowed three Italians, one Frenchman, two Englishmen and one American to the grave.

And from that year the record began to shoot upward with amasing rapidity, due to the lessons learned in previous years. In 1922 Capt. H. C.

The next year, 1925, “Jimmy” Doolittle, still one of Ameriea's premier fiyers, reached 232.6 miles an hour. Ameriean suprem- scy was ended in 1926, when Bernardi of Italy winged his way around the course off Hampton Roads at 246.5 miles an hour. Then England took a hand, and Webster in 1027 shot the mark to 281.5 miles an hour. Last year England won again with Waghorn, one of those who have since been killed, making the unprecedented speed of 326.6 miles an hour. Prom 45 miles an hour in 1913 to 326 miles an hour in 1920, with the spectacular straight- away speed last year of 357 miles an hour, is the remarkable record of the Schneider Cup races.

D, Bishop of Washington. Text: “They are choked with cares n: rg;ln and nlenu‘ huses o’/ &‘m life, an ing no fruit to perfection.”— St. Luke, viii.14. This is harvest time, when the hus- bandman is gathering in the fruits of the Summer. It is one of the most in- teresting . periods of the year and the Tesults of the harvest are wholly con- ditioned by the hounty of God's rain "and subshine, plus the care exercised in protecting the fruits and grain of the field from . con! blight, The bounty of the harvest is almost wholly determined by the care exercised and in the character of its eonservation. Now it is ‘that the long weeks of toll have their reward. In one of the most picturesque parables that Jesus ever used, known as | tion of desire that of “the sower.” He likens human life to a field in which seed is sown. He recognizes the different kinds of human soil, and secks to indicate that the quality of the soil, as well as the care ven to its cultivation, determines the arvest. In the above passage He speaks of seed which “fell among thorns.” It is a striking analogy of & condition all too familiar to us; the thorns are the “cares and riches and {ohuum of this life.” It is ihevitable hat, no matter how rich the seed, it cannot come to fruition under such con- ditions. Thorny lives, lives that are like uncultivated and uncared-for fields can bring no fruit to perfection. They have permitted the world to so cumber them with a multitude of worldly things that they are wholly incapable of de- veloping ard garnering the rich fruits of character. Even in moments of high | lif hopes and aspirations they find them- | selves let and hindered. By unregulated | habits and passions, they are literally | the slaves of their own indiscretiors. | As we grow older we become Wore conscious of the burdens we carry in | the way of cares and the accumulation of things. and the widely varied but unsatisf pleasures. ‘The most tragic aspect of this situation is that we mcl; " ‘e in :1{0 'h):ul it 1s difficult for us, if not altogether impos- sible, to release ourselves from a con- dition of servitude.

Gov. Roosevelt’s Chances for Democratic Nomination May Be Affected by Issues BY GEORGE VAN SLYKE. NEW YORK, August 20.—Gov. Prank- lin D.

He has been credited with seeking to spread for na- tional consumption & belief that he was hostile to Tammany, while at home keeping at least a semblance of friendly relations with the State organization That may be unfair to the Governor of the Empire State, but it is the topic of open debate and dissention in the party. He has shown repeatedly his independence of Tammany. * wowox ‘The flare-up which came unexpected- | ly in the l;’:h‘:’(lmh“‘ll; session now meeting precisely that point. ‘The Governor last ved the creation of a Legislative Committee, voted by the Republicans, to investi- gate the Tammany-Walker administra- m of &e' '\"g;k City.

The Governor finally yielded to the Tammany demand and sent in a special | message asking the Legislature to pro- | vide for the up-State inquiry. The situ- ation was tense for nearly the entire week. The Democratic leaders, with the streng backing of the State organ- ization, explained that they sought to find out whether Mr. Roosevelt was sponsoring the New York inquiry for | g;lrpuu of national politics or was terested equally in an investigation of alleged corruption elsewhere than in New York. Running through all the delfberations in their conferences the Democrats stressed the question of sup- porting Roosevelt for President. * x % There still appears to remain doubt in the minds of the New York Demo- cratic leaders as to whether or not Mr. | Roosevelt is certain of the united sup- port of his own State if he enters the convention as a candidate.

The Roosevelt claim is based pri marily on the supposition that his nom- mation would solve the Al Smith prob- iem for the Democracy by going to the Empire State again for the nominee and, further, assure New York State being in the Democratic column in the election. Without the united support cf his own State, Mr. Roosevelt assumes a heavy liabllity. Therefore, anything bearing on his relations with Tammany becomes a matter of itmportance to the national Democracy. That question has BOt yet been answered decisively.

What e asks is that he be informed as quickly as possible how much he must pay and how. ‘The friends of the government think that the Prime Minister erred in an- nouncing a 10 per cent cut in the dole without at the same time making known the balancing burdens that he is preparing for the backs of the more fortunate, to whom the dole means little or only a grievance.
