too unwieldy. It would naturally have

Senate? Who would have imagined
that A1 Smith would have carried
New York state by a plurality of haif

There is no doubt a salutary les
son to the Republicans in this de
feat. They have been banded one ot
the most drastic drubbings in an off-
year election contest and there is
tlio unfortunate part of it. Had tbe
storm broken two years hence thore
would have been no power that could
have stayed tbe repudiation of tbe

At any rate the country has shown

for such tnctlcs from any party or
iny clique within a party tliut swept
the country two years ago. It may
bave been Republican luck that 11
happened as it did. It Is certainly
best for the country that- the people
have stood their ground und disputed
boldly and unflinchingly tbo do-noth
ing and totally incompetent policies
of the Harding administration.
A QUIET WEDDING (?)
The ex-kalser has been married and
the whole world knows the circum
stances under which It was carried out.
The German emperor, wbo is now an
exile in a foreign land, with absolutely
no hope of ever recovering even
part ot hls former greatness, took unto
himself a wife, a princess of some
German house.
The wedding was not contracted
with any great assembly present, but
the trappings were gorgeous and the
ceremony tinged with that same form
ot monarchlstic splendor that has al
ways characterised the German war
lord. All of the badges, buttons, med
als, trappings and uniforms were in
use. The occasion was one of great
secrecy aad still very public. The
Hohenxollern banner flew over
exile’s castle while the ceremonials
were being performed, and everything
waa right except the fact that the
kaiser’s family objected end he is an
exile. With those objectlone out ot
the way It would have been different.
The world doesn't congratulate the
new queen of Prussia. For It doesn’t
credit her with any particular distino-

“THE UNWRITTEN LAW.'
“Southerners, you know, are those
hotheaded, violent persons who ac
tually believe in 'the unwritten law.’
Their Juries are outrageous, think
nothing of acquitting a brute who has
murdered the violator of hls home.
Worse still, the spectators often ap
plaud such gross miscarriages of jus
tice. And they dare to talk of their
law-abiding respectability! Plainly, it
Is our duty to organize a flock of re
arm societies, take the Bible in hand
and uplift that intemperate section.”
That has n familiar ring, hasn't it?
You've read stuff like that in North
ern papers, haven't you?
Consider, then, what happened last
week In Hackensack, N. J,—yes,
Hackensack! A Jury tried Cburles
Cline, u woman and another man for
the murder of Jack Bergen, who had
been too friendly with Charles Cline’s
wife. On the jury were six women and
six men. It was proved that Cline,
with hls helpers had decoyed Bergen
into the Cline home to kill him. The
Judge at the trial charged the Jury
that under the law It could not acquit
Cline on the piea of self-doienBe,
which was all tbe defense he had.
The Jury retired, took ono balloL
returned to the courtroom and acquit
ted the killer. In announcing tho
"Not guilty," the Jury's forewoman a
25-year-old stenographer, announced
“We agreed positively not to repeat
what was said in tho Jury room about
the unwritten law.” When she said
that, “the accused were cheered like
football heroes."
Sounds just like the South, only
worse, doesn’t it?
The truth Is that wo are all very
much alike. The truth Is thnt laws
do not control public opinion; they
express public opinion. Laws are
weak when they contradict the primal
untamed emotion of men and women.
It is wrong, outrageously wrong, for
one man to murder another. The
laws against murder should be upheld
But tbe way to uphold thorn is by
training men to discipline their emi-
tions. It has taken us millions of
years to find out that murder la never
justifiable. It will take us a while
longer to live up to that discovery un
varyingly. Until we do, no part of
the population should waste time and
energy abusing another part for not
living up to It. Ye can make better
progress by preaching the proper
idealism and self-restraint.—Asheville
(N. C.) Citizen.
