THAW’S MOTHER AND PARKHURST

She Replies to Article Be Supplied to Paper. PREACHER IS ARRAIGNED “Homicide Trials Are a Grim Neces sity. Grossly Misconducted as the Thaw Trials Were and Horribly Re pulsive to Those Immediately Connected, They Were Essentially a Warning, Especially to Careless Mothers. Gilded Vice In Its Most

Reprehensible Form, Was Painted In Sulphurous Colors." Chicago, May 14. —Replying to an editorial supplied a Chicago paper by Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, mother of Harry K. Thaw, writes:

"Passive endurance ceased on i aiding an article so cruel as that which appeared in your paper of Wednesday. “Dr. Parkhurst’s article properly deprecated the effects of newspaper reports of criminal articles and cited the Thaw trial as an example of dealing with matters lying at *a low moral level.’

"Has Dr. Parkhurst forgotten ids Belt-appointed crusade some years ago, when night after night he visited houses of ill-repute, then published broadcast accounts of his observa tions? Right minded persons, at the time, regarded this exposition of indecency as both useless and disgusting. “Homicide trials are a grim necessity. Grossly misconducted as the Thaw trials were and horribly repulsive to those immediately connected, they were essentially a warning, especially to careless mothers. Gilded vice, in its most reprehensible form, was painted in sulphurous colors. The effect was not unlike that produced on the youth of Athens when drunken slaves were introduced to em] haslze lectures on sobriety and temperance. "Dr. Parkhurst professes to be a Christian minister, yet this is not the first time he has gone out of his way to throw a stone at this defenseless man. Gifted as my son is as a writer, he is powerless to reply to such attacks by reason of restrictions at the jfiaee where he is now Illegally detain ed. ' This is the reason I answer at once, requesting that you will, ip common justice, give this communication the same prominence as the other.”

Humor and Philosophy

By DUNCAN M. SMITH

PUBLICITY. The actor man you cannot judge By wbat the showbills say Or by the way his name appears In gorgeous red display. He may not be the grandest scout That ever held a spear, But still they must announce him so To make the crowds appear. Upon the stage he may not act, Like others of his type. For Bour apples or, indeed. For lemons hardly ripe. But, would you ask him to admit In his advance advice That he was nothing but a dub, Not worth the published price? Advance announcements, as you know, Are but a self made puff, And you may gamble that it will Be stated strong enough, For chronic modesty is not In this enlightened day The ruling passion of the man Who figures in the play. And does he differ very much From those who do not act Although In more aggressive tones He may proclaim the fact? You’ll find that men are much the same, Though from the stage afar. Just let the others get your ear To tell you who they are. Had the Proof.

PERT PARAGRAPHS. Most of us don't‘mind earning our living, but we are impatient of the system that makes it take so much of our time to do so. We are apt to suspect people who always agree with us and to dislike them if they don't There may be some people who marry to get money, but did you ever know anybody to marry to lose It? There is plenty of food for thought lying about, but there seems to be a very small demand for it v We may not admire a pachyderm, but members of that class do seem comfortable under what to most of us seem to be, distressing conditions. It is bard to please everybody, but that isn't any reason why we should find it hard to please anybody.
