THURSDAY, MAY, 4 1922.
Up in Virginia this week they
lire trvillir n voimv U'WIIHII whri
* ?o ? " *
is charged with hacking to death
with u hatchet the wife of a man
with whom she was infatuated,
and over in Oklahoma u robust
sensation has been speeding along
for the last day or two over the
alleged kidnaping of a minister
who says he was knocked on the
head, gagged, chloroformed, carried
out ot town and dumped unconscious
into a ditch by the
roadside. The odd tiling about
the Virginia case is not the crime
itself,, ibr crime is become commonplace,
but is in the fact that
the husband of the murdered
woman is not also on trial for his
life, since his relations with the
alleged murderess .were not wliai
they should have been, unless we
have arrived at the point in our
civilization where immorality is
a virtue and not a vice. But
however that may be, Virginia is
an old-fashioned State and up
there judge and jury have a way
ol doing thtfir duty. So we may
dismiss consideration of the case
with the assurance that if the
woman is guilty she will be adequately
punished and that if
'there is any substantial evidence
to connect the man with the murder
of his wife, sooner or later he
will huve to tell an Old Dominion"
jury why he should not feel
the halter draw, dumping across
country to Oklahomu we find a
new Slate and we should perhaps
make allowance for the fftct
that out there the people have
not yet had time to learn to do
things in the conventional way
one-expects of the older commonmouWcalths
of the country. For
instance, in Oklahoma it does not
seem to be bad form to use extreme
persuasive methods to in
duce a minister to leave town for
the town's good if he has married
a couple in a bathing suit which
bore close relationship to the traditional
fig leaf nor are citizens
of that State bashful about ex
pressing the opinion that the
same minister went li little too
far when he exhibited risk moving
pictures in his church. They
want him to*1 shake the dust of
the town off his feet, to get out
of the community at once, and to
stay out. The minister does not
dtny that he has done tho various
and sundry things to which
objection is raised, but pleads in
extenuation that it was a part of
the day's work and will all come
out iri the wash, and that there is
much ado about nothing. One
* . will have his own opinion whether
the minister should be held to
account for doing things that
? seem odd to well-ordered Stfuth
Carolina,-for instance; but there
will be oneness of opinion everywhere
in passing upon the outrageous
charge that the minister's
story of being knocked on the
head and cuffed about generally
is all a lie, that he concocted it
himself to get in the limelight
and to try to land a job in the
mpvies.
Frederick Palmer, war correspondent,
who has been in~ Ireland
writing a series of articles for a
syndicate of American newspa-j
pers, has been especially struck
with the youth fulness of the Irish
leadefs, most, of whom are under
40. The moving spirits in adventures
like those under way in Ireland
have always been young
men. When we speak of the "Pilgrim
Fathers" it is merely a figure
of speech. Most of the men

of the major generals on both
sides had not reached their two

'.-^ioal upheavals are usually young
men with old heads to counsel

Wilt-Resistant Tomatoes.
The department of agriculture
at Washington has just issued
a bulletin, No. 1015, entitled
" Wilt - Resistant Tomatoes," in
\\ liieh thi? nrnwpr r?f

conditions and for selecting resistant
seed tomatoes for their
own planting. *

A Washington dispatch says
that Oscar W. Underwood, Democratic
leader of the senate, who
si-ldom risks his reputation with
predictions, declared. Tuesday a
belief that the Democratic party,
as a result of the congressional
elections this fall, w'ould capture
thehoiise of representatives. This

declared that if that be

; to combat' his views, he was1* reminded
that Democratic politii
cians had estimated an increase

Gompers Against Recognition.
Samuel Gompers, head of }the
; American/ Federation of Labor,
, does not wish to see this country
recognize the Bolshevik tyranny
in Russia. He thinks it woulibe
e. "needless and base betrayaj of
civilization." Declaring that the
; public life of this country was
being flooded with propaganda
and that "predatory international
finance has its appetite up and
( believes it sees loot in Russfct,"
Mr. Gompers asserted that nothing
"would be more fraught with
disaster to humanity than American
recognition of the Bolsheviki
power in any form.' He'
said Lenine is a bandit merchant
ready to "to take what he can
get in exchange for the heritage
of a people rendered helplesatby
him and his."
