THE AMERICAN LEPROSY
The trial of a young: man in Virginia,
jharged with killing his wife, has filled the
papers with much that is unsavory; and
many think that the publication of such
testimony has an injrurious effect upon
public morals. There Is much that could
>e said along this line, but we should re
nember that such trials simply uncover,
,hey do not produce, social conditions.
They turn on the light and light is health
ful. There are ceroan social evils, which
ire corrupting the very 6ouroes of life, but
ivhich never come to the surface even for
i moment, expert in such revelations as
.hat which has come in this Virginia trial.
But whether good or evil comes of these
revelations depends, at last, wholly upon
;he moral judgments the community pro
lounces upon them.
There was one feature in the testimony
>f the moteer of the unfortunate young
wife, which, we think, the public . cannot
ifford to let pass unnoticed. It points to
in evil about which too little Is said; and
ibout which too little Is known by the pub- <
lie. This silence and Ignorance would be
excusable if the evil lurked only in vile ,
districts of the city and did not endanger 1
the purest of the most innocent homes.
And the egnorance and silence could be
the better justified if only a few homes en- (
dangered. But such is npt the case. The
dispatches which gave the account or ine
testimony of the heart-brokon mother <
simply say: "Prosecutor Wendeburg
questioned the woman as to her knowledge
of the domestic life of the Beatties and
brought to the surface a point Intended as
relevant to the alleged motive of the mur
der, namely, that JBeattie's physical con
dition, due to dissipation, had caused much
unhappiness to his wife.
In these veiled words reference is made |
to a disease and an evil the extent of ,
which, if we are to believe the testimnoy
of the whole medical profession, is certain
ly appalling. In conversation with physi
cians recently we were amazed beyound
all measure to be told that by the very i
lowest estimate eighty-five per cent, of the
men folk of this country are or have been
contaminato; and somo physicians think
that ninety-five per cent, is nearer the
truth. If the effects of these horrible dis
? a J?u^li ?
enses were uuuuuvu wuvuj w tuc h lui u^
they would ba even then too awful to con
template; but we are dealing with an evil
that can be transmitted in its loathsome
ness to a man's innocent offsping. Who
can think of such a thig without a shudder?
But by far the most astounding thing we
learned in our conversation with the phy
sicians?it is almost unbelievabl?is that
the profession estimates that about eigh
ty-five per cent, of the surgical operations
on the innocent wives of America has been
caused by this unnamable evil!
And what is being done to protect socie
ty and the home that is to be, the young
bride and tin unborn chrildren? The
answer is. nothing, absolutely nothing in
many States. What can be done? Much
in every way. Above all, the be strtuction
of the double standerd. Aut also the State
should refuse to issue a marriage license
to a man who is less entitled to ft than a
rotting leper.
The cooks of the ancients were art
ists In their way and were bo skillful
that they could serve a whole pig boil
ed on one side and roasted on the
other.

ing your shoes repair
