THE CRIME AGAINST WOMEN. One is appalled when he thinks of the awfulness, and the frequency of crime against women. The purpose is assault, robbery, usually ending in murder. Murder is not intended but is resorted to in order to conceal the other crime. There is a cause for all this infernal outrage and some one ugh t to prescribe a remedy. " Basking in the light of a splendid modern civilization we often refer to the treatment of women by the ancients. The man was master and lord, and the woman a slave or servant. The woman of today is regarded as the .equal of the man and rightly so. She has proven herself able to cope with him in intellect and endurance, and, since she has such little voice in legislation, the man ought to see to it that she is protected. How can this be done? is the all important question? The mob can lynch the villain if it can lay hands on him. The law can convict and punish him in due time if he can be apprehended. But is there not a better way? Cannot some modern social scientist evolve a plan that will not only lessen but do away with such awful and frequent outrages against society. When these assaults and murders are committed, our authorities usually do all they can to ferret out the perpetrators of the crime and nearly always do their duty making the crime pay the penalty. But this does not restrict or prevent the crime. We often condemn the South and their custom of torturing a criminal for assaults on women, but they cannot help it.

The chivalric spirit toward women is one of their cardinal virtues. These people will forgive anything sooner than an insult to woman. No difference who the offender is, high or low, rich or poor, white or black, he will be summarily dealt with, not always by the mob but when not by the mob, by the individual who is wronged. We cannot approve these methods and do not believe that they will prevent this kind of crime, but we can cultivate, more than we do, that spirit of chivalry that will forgive or condone any other insult than those toward an innocent woman or child. We could reduce these crimes to a minimum if we had some kind of legislation that would prevent the tramp from folloAving his vocation at all times and in all places. We foster the vagrant, the tramp and other vagabonds and by so doing encourage crime. It .is true that the tramp does not commit all these crimes but he is encouraged to live without work and to support himself by the industry of law abiding citizens. Our callous indifference to this burden and this peril is largely responsible for existing conditions. A well regulated work house at every county seat would be a step in the right direction. The busy man is the safest man in a community. It is nearly always the idler and vagrant that commit such beastly crimes. Give the tramp work, plenty of hard work and see that he does it. Apprehend, speedily try and convict the kidnapper and murderer and give him the extreme penalty of the law. This will, at least, reduce the burden and the peril that exists today.

United States Consul Diederich, Breman, Germany, has a good word for American higher institutions of learning. While he admits that travel and study abroad is to be commended, he admits that the facilities for graduate and post graduate work in the United States is just as good as in Germany or any other country on the continent of Europe. Coming from such an eminent scholar and diplomat as Mr. Diederich, it is a great compliment to our country.

IIis wonderful power over his musical forces, his appreciation of the needs and desires of his audiences, and his ability to meet them all, have combined to render him pre-eminently the representative band master in America. The great reputation of Phinney's United States band and its predecessor, the Iowa State band, was largely gained through their scholarly rendering of the great works, and the magnificent effect produced from their descriptive compositions. No special introduction is required for Phinney to any part of the United States. It needs only to be announced that he will appear with his great

The trial occupied eight daystwo of which were consumed in the summing up by the late Justice Stephen, who inveighed strongly against the accused woman, notwithstanding that four doctors had testified that Maybrick's death was not due to arsenical poisoning. Sir Charles Russell, later Lord Chief Justice of England, who defended Mrs. Maybrick, commenting on Justice Stephen's charge said: "He passionately invited the jury to find a verdict of guilty, taking two days to sum up the first day as a judge, and on the second he raged likea violent counsel for the prosecution against her." The jury, after an absence of Only thirty-six minutes, returned a verdict of guilty, which surprised everyone. The judge was hissed and hooted. Letter Her Downfall. Figuring in the tragedy was a young man named Alfred Brierly, a business associate of Maybrick. iA letter that Mrs. Maybrick wrote him during her husband's illness proved her undoing. In fact, the judge declared in his summing up that she had killed her husband because of her love for Brierly. The sentence of death was passed and was condemned by press and the pulpit of the civilized world. Appeals and petitions poured in on the secretary for the home department, and the death sentence was commuted to

imprisonment for life. Later other ap peals were made, the American am

but release was refused. Finally Mrs. Maybrick 's health broke down, and

on January 25, 1904, she was removed
