In 57 minutes he got on the outside of five quarts of peanuts and 39 glasses of beer, and then went home and “jawed” at his wite because she had only three pounds of beefsteak, potatoes, beans, cabbage and a few other things for lunch. RRR RRRERRRAERRREKEAA REE atetteneee®) * * f * * * * * The Case of Nathan Schwartz Did Nathan Schwartz, the New York boy who brutally murdered poor little Julia Connors, “cheat the electric chal ‘ as the dispatches said, when he killed himself a few days later? This is a question which we should answer as a people We should answer it not in passion for revenge, or in lust after a life for a life, but with such calmness as may be com- manded in the sight of such a horrid thing ‘ 2 Young Schwartz killed little Julia Connors in such a wise that the details are known to few. But we know this—it- was one of those sex crimes in which the victim is dreadfully muti- lated for no apparent reason. ; The modern world had its attention first focused on such things when years ago, “Jack the Ripper” carried terror to the women of the Whitechapel district in London. For months, at intervals, these women were found slashed and dismembered by senseless and blind insanity. Since then there has been a “Jack the Ripper” on the criminal map somewhere almost all time, Probably such crimes have been a part of the mystery Of sex psychology from before the dawn of history. The case ot Nathan Schwartz should be studied if for no other reason than to demonstrate that the perpetrators of such deeds are madmen. Nathan Schwartz no more understood why he did the thing for which he punished himself to death than any normal man knows. : ‘ “Tell mother,” says he in that pathetic, tragic, heartbreak- ing letter which he left behind, “that Iam really guilty, and that she shall not cry her eyes and heart out. I know she thinks I am innocent. I am sorry I done it, but I got crazy, as I often do, and you can’t blame me for it, nor any one.” He was more severe with himself than enlightened criminology will be. For when he says “guilty” and “crazy \ Mi You say your boy Hiram ia a] “Rooks help a man's dreamer, Does he write poetry or! sation.” romances?” Undoubtedly, But the man who “Oh! he don’t write anything, But} buys them seldom geta to be as conver he jes’ natchelly refuses to get up| good a talker a» the man who sold)» ull 9 o'clock.” |them to him.” EVIDENCE “What makes you think your congreseman ts & smart man? “Because,” replied Farmer Corntosse!, “he made a habit of givin’ all them garden seeds away instead of tryin’ to rave somethin’ from ‘em himeelf.”"-——-Washington Star, SRR RRR eee * * HIS WISDOM ACCOUNTED FOR, * “Solomon, you know, was considered the wisest man on #* earth,” * “Yea, His ives probably kept him {nformed concerning all *& that was going on.” * Li ee ee ed aeeetee WISE WOMAN Ella~—Bella bas given up playing bridge whist and has thrown ber cards in the fire. a—Burned her bridges behind her, the world will one day agree to say only “insane.” He was not a bad boy. He wrote “This is to my dear mother who I am always homesick for.” He told in this last letter of two days’ wages owing to him, and asked that the money be given “to mother—for she is very poor.” He wrote that he was sorry to make all that trouble for his “neighbor,’ the boardinghouse keeper. “But,” said he, “all he will have to do will be to call a cop.” ; The letter shows that this boy’s soul, like Othello’s, was not essentially evil, but “perplexed in the extreme.” He was tuled by a recurring, fixed and uncontrollable impulse. ‘ Every “Jack the Ripper” is a madman. Instead of being ished, they should be cured. Many of them can be cured ¢ hypnotic treatment, according to the practices of the new school of therapeutists, of which Morton Prince, M. D., of Boston, is, perhaps, the head. Those who cannot be so cured in that way, may be cured by surgery. And if any remain un- cured, they belong in sanitoria, and not in the electric chair or state prisons. If we had had some agency for the treatment of such cases of perverted psychology, perhaps Nathan Schwartz might have been treated years ago, and Julia Connors saved. SAYS Uncle Sam: “Without mentioning names, there's going to be trouble if that little fellow who licked the Russian bear not long ago tries to get fis mitts into American pie.” Even Bailey Sees It Se Joe Bailey, senator from Texas, made a speech the other night at a “swell feed,” in which he solemnly and owlishly warned his thrilled plutocratic hearers that if they didn’t look out and hustle to save the country there would be a revolution within 30 years. ~ : mil Funny how far behind the times Standard Oil Joe is. The majority of the people have known about the revolution for some half dozen years. Fact is, we are right in the midst of it. But it’s not the kind of revolution the discredited Texan sees. Joe probably has visions of bloody battles, decapitated “statesmen,” and all that sort of thing The only battles we are engaging in are battles to free this ernment from men elected to serve the people who serve i cteresto instead. The only decapitations are where the Wall Street patriots are severed from their fat federal and state jobs, among them Joe Bailey himself. THE STANDARD OIL “dissolution” just put $81,250,- 000 in John D.’s pocketbook, that’s all. A MAN seldom realizes how many faults he has until he marries and his wife tells him*about ‘em. THE UNEXPECTED happens so often that it seems as though it ought to lose its originality once in a while. IT ISN’T true that Taft will run all the bull moose out of the national zoological gardens in Washington. THERE'S a certain amount of humor in the news that a deputy sheriff arrested three state supreme court justices yes- terday for speeding in an auto. POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM THE CAPITAL BY GILSON GARDNER} (Washington Correspondent for the Star.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 3.—Miss Julia Lathrop, who came to Washington to accept an appointment as head of the children’s bureau, | recently authorized by congressional enactment, found when she arrived that congress created a perfectly good children's bureau, but had failed to appropriate any money for it, so Miss Lathrop has gone away again, It is assumed by the optimistic that congress will put some money to| the credit of this bureau when the legislative, executive and judicial S@pprepriation bill is finally passed. This bill fell by the wayside and an @mergency measure had to be passed at the beginning of July to pro- vide current salaries for government employees, ee ee A bill to restore good old fashioned brown sugar to the kitchen Pantry was passed by the senate July 27. The measure was talked about as one abolishing the “Dutch standard.” It came into the senate as a substitute for the fake bill put up by Mr. Underwood with no inten- tion that it should ever be passed, abolishing all duties on sugar, Kven John Sharp Williams, the real leader of the democratic side of the senate, stated in debate that he did not favor the Underwood measure, and that no democrat seriously did. He defended the duty on sugar as the very best tariff for revenue possible, The “Dutch standard” is a color test applied to grades of sugar. Everything below No, 16, Dutch standard, is too dark in color and too crude in the matter of refinement to be consumed on the table. Just above No, 16, Dutch standard, comes the old fashioned “brown” sugar that went into the apple pie and was put on bread by the children for “in-between” meals. But a wicked conspiracy of senators in the Gorman- Wilson tariff bill, packed up later by Aldrich in the Payne-Aldrich bill, Provided that there should be just as high duties on this brown sugar &s on the very whitest sugar known to the market. That sent brown Sugar into the limbo of the unknown and unseen. It disappeared, Now, Mf President Taft does not come along with one of his handy and familiar vetoes, it may come back again, iy | Fae “Little pitchers have'—what's) the rest of it, my child?” “Big curves.” “I hear they have a family ekele ton?” “You; she was tn the surf this | morning.” CRUELTY TO A VACATIONIST “That's what I call mean.” “What? “I sent Brown a card from our summer cottage, and to make — pig him that I was having fresh fish for dinner “He sent me one right back saying that after receiving my went into a barber shop for a shave, ate a porterhouse steak for di poll patch aarakn ney a nice cold bath in a porcelain tub, jor ne! y that there were no files in bedroom, Detroit Free Press. ie ah HEARD ON THE TRAIN r.
