The fact that Mrs. Lassandra aided in the killing of an afflcer of the crown, ft is argued, may be a powerful factor against the grant Ing of clemency to her. She, together witb Emilio Pica- rello, known as the “king of boot leggers," slew Constable Steve O.

Mrs. Lassandra and Picarello were found Jointly culpable in the slaying ■ but evidence introduced seemed to prove the weman bad fired the ilrtuh. shot with her own hand. OTHER CASE ' ' SIMF-ER The case of Mrs. Christensen Is mope commonplace arid Albertans agree her chances for leniency are greater. She testified at her trial she had shot her husband during a struggle for the possession of. a revolver with which she claimed be Imd menaced her. But other evidence which gained belief by the Jury proved Mrs. Christensen had bought cartridges before tho slaying —wbtth took place at Dapp, Alberta—and that afterward sht had fl’d to Edmon ton.

Summer, secretary af the New York Society for the Sup pression of Vice, saya of “Yes" Ur. H. H. Horne, professor 0. the History of Education and philoso phy at New York Uni varsity, says No." . . Both are authorities on menr ture and its Influences. Yet each takes an opposite view on the Is sue growing out of the suicide of a young college girl. Miss Mario BlooPifield, a pret ty, 18-year-old girl of Columus, 0.. came to Columbia University here to continue her studies. She became greatly Interested In the literature of death. She read ilarhclllon’s Journal—the diary of a man dying from creeping paraly sis. Sho memorized Heat's lines 'I have been half In love with case fill Death.” She studied Hamlet’s speech ending “The rest Is silence." Sho discussed Socrates, Greek philosopher who committed suicide by drinking poison. Her farewell letter indicated that there wag. no motive for her act other than a desire to experi ence that “groat advonturo.” She was an honor student at the uni versity, had no affairs of the heart financial difficulties or troubles of anv kind. Yet sho killed herself at n time of youth when life seems bright est. "The case,” says Summer, ‘‘re calls that of a college girl In Bos ton last summer. - While attending a summer session nt school, she committed suicide. It was found that she hail read 300 books on mental conditions. “They led to the unrest, discon tent ot her own mind, anil finally to destruction.

Let It's reading bo directed to both sides ot any ques tlon. Youth demands to too all sides. Youth can be trusted with ideas; youth cannot be trusted with one Idea—neither can‘age. Miss Bloomfield was a victim of her own Idea. This first came to her from reading Barbclllon's diary, which first must have Inter ested, then fascinated, then pos sessed her. She became Ita ser vant, not Its master. Being In telligent and capable, she might have resolutely put It from her mind. Being sensitive and respon sive, she yielded to it, and then took her life. “Ideas once acquired have / a dynamic quality. They tend to act themselves out. This explains ob sessions and hyrnotlsms. Ideas are healing,’ are noxious. 'It Is dangerous to meditate on suicide and It fill one’s mind with this Idea. It may become fixed, through a process ot auto-tngges tlon.
