THIS MAD WORLD.
That the wnr In Europe 1h madness
tutd madness of u Hurt that la alarm
ingly contagion* Is the opinion of
some of the moat brilliant ami able
thinkers. That It la the cataclysmic
expression of the utterly anti-Chris
tian attitude of the human heart Is
the view of most i 4 the religious au
thorities. Dr Prank Crime says:
•‘The kings and diplomats who
started the affair are mad of it surety;
for having plunged the people into
the abyss they nre now strenuously
protesting thnt they did not begin It.
1 take it they are honest. Nobody
begun It. ns no one begin* a rict in
an Insane asylum or drunken row in
a grog shop.
"When lovw for one'* country is ex
pressed In hate of another's country
what was a grand sentiment Is twist
ed Into a dar geroua delusion."
Dr. Cram* goes on to claim that this
dangerous dllualon la spreading across
the Atlantic, because "numerous al
leged statesmen over hero are Jump
ing up and down with loud cries in
sisting that the United States shall
hurry up and by all arts of truculence

CONCERNING THE EXPERT.
Rx-Preatdenl Taft In a apeecli In
Indianapolis. urged that private hual
neaa methods he Introduced Into gov
ernment enterprises lie aald that
private business was a business hy
experts and suggested that ex|>erta l>e
employed to Institute greater gtnrern
mental efficiency.
It la to smile over good-natured Mr.
Taft, clinging with a loyalty almost
pathetic to the snare which the word
•’expect" embodies Not since Taft,
the governmental "expert," was ad
vertised and exploited, have we heen
able to return to that unquestioning
faith In the word "expert." which
once we felt
Who are the experts anyhow?
Where should we go to get the final
end absolute authority? Expert* are
called upon In murder case* to an
nounce the murderer not accountable
for hi* crime Expert* proclaimed, a
year or two ego. that Mr. William
Rockefeller wa* practically a dead
man. no far, at least, as telling tales
on himself was concerned The coun
try was asked to "weep for the voice
less" while the trovernment was In
sistently endeavoring to question him
Yet. Mr Rockefeller I* today living
and speaking. he subsequently attend
ed directors - meeting* and spoke quite
fieely anr forcibly In hi* own In
terest.
Experts may be well enough In
themselves, but how are we to choose
them? Who la an expert upon ex-
! ports? Who knows whether the ex
| pert, know,! v.'hat he assumes to know
and who knows whether he tells what
| he knows or what he Is paid to tell?
In a private business the work of
[the expert stands as the proof of him,
| hut in the great business of govern
[inent in which all sorts and condi
tions of citizens have their Interests,
the autocracy of the expert authority
I Is something well to be dreaded.
It Is Interesting In this connection
to reflect upon the fact that no presi
dent ever went Into office with such
claims of expertness as Mr. Taft. No
man ever spent so much time In of
ficial life or was so "well trained" In
the methods and habits of govern
ment. Notwithstanding all this, there
have been few such failures in ad
ministration as the Tnft failure.
We trust we may not he understood
ns refusing to feel confidence, how
ever. In the opinions and views of men
who have heen especially ,prepared to
Judge and understand certain things.
There is no danger In the free ex
pression of opinion from those who
are In a position to shed light upon
them The danger In the expert lies
simply In the fart that the expert Is
so frequently used ns the final and
absolute authority Clothed In the
majesty and dominion of his special
knowledge, he Is set tip as an Idol
and Is made an object toward which
the average man Is expected to lra.k
with complete suhmlss on and un
questioning credulity.

who, alter living In a plan* a few years,
captures a prise the "natives" havs
been slow In pursuit of. Harlem hoys
are fine fellows nd all that, but they
strike one as a little tardy in some
things. They should press prior
claims. This sutne thing hss hap
pened more than once or even twice
lately good intentions forestalled by
enterprise. Anyway, ull happlnees to
Dr. and Mrs. Martin.

Head the synopsis of thla chapter:
Klalne Ihulga and her lawyer, Kerry
lionet, endeavor to aolve her father's
death He was alaln by "The Clutch-
In* Hand." Crain Kennedy, the sclen
tlflc detective, was cajled In to aolve

clue at Klalne’* home, a letter tied to
a atone crashes through a window. It

the Intlmldator. Kennedy leave* hut
promise* Klalne not to give up the
scorch
That night, a Herman sciential calls
si the Hillside Sanitarium for Women,
ostensibly lo Investigate the celebrat
ed "Twilight Sleep," but In reality to
purloin a vial of the drug, Scapolo
rium, which produce* the "Twilight
Sleep." The peculiarity of the drug
Is that while It doea not render the
patient Insensible, It keeps her from
■mailing events following Its applica
tion. The visitor, then tnkea his
leave. The disappearance of «he vial
pusslea the doctors.
Klalne Hodge Is drugged Into un
consciousness by the masked figure
of "The Clutching Hand” who has en
tered through her window While ad
ministering the narcotic, a piece of
glasa, unwittingly broken, drops to the
floor, "The Clutching Hand" pro
duces the vial of Scapolorlum and tn
j tecta the drug Klalne Is made con
| scions by a wet towel applied to her
| forehead, and gages dasedly Into the
I mntsle of a revolver. In abject terror
'of her sinister visitor, and obeying his
1 commands, she rises and precedes him
;from the room
Next morning Craig Kennedy la
nmaxed at the content* of a letter
from Klalne, dtapenalng with his ser
vices lie calls Klalne on the phone,
and Is dumbfounded to learn that she
has no recollection of having commu
nicated with him He goes lo her
In-me and Is met by Klalne, her Aunt
Susan, and Kerry Henell. Klalne ack
nowledge the letter as In her writing,
but Is unable to account for It. Craig
Kennedy * mind, keenly analytical,
begins to see light At this sugges
tion they all go to Klatne's bedroom.
where his searching eye discovers the
I piece of glass dropped by “The
; Clutching Hand.” He notes other
| evidences of the nocturnal visit, and
putting his data together astounds
jthe company by Informing Elaine that
she was the author of the letetr, while
I under the influence of the "Twilight
! Sleep." Through his scientific medi
cal knowledge, they are astounded to
| hear that the only way In which
’ Elaine ran possibly recall the eventß
jof the previous night, Is to again go
'lnto the "Twilight Bleep." She agrees
< and she is again Injected wit!) Scapa
jlorlum. While under Its Influence,
[she reacts the Incidents of the night
I before. Everything Is clear. While
Elaine comes slowly out of the “Twl-
I light Sleep,” a note Is pushed through
I the doorjamb. The party rushes out,
to apprehend the malicious agent, but
fall. Through mistaken Identity, Ben
nett and Jameson struggle fiercely on
either side of the portlets, As they
[discover their error, the cunning face
iof a servant peers from behind a dl
[van. The mysterious note Is a final
warning to Craig Kennedy to cease
his operations against "The Clutching
Hand," under penalty of death. He Is
coolly Indifferent to the threat, and
pockets the note under the admiring
gaze of Elaine.

til MATTER
TO BE DECIDED
THURSDAY
If Judge Ellis Sustains Maj.
Cumming’s Demurrer, Com
pany Will be Automatically
Placed in Hands of State In
surance Commissioner.
Arguments on a demurrer filed hy
Major Jos. B. Cummins, of counsel
for The Empire Life Insurance Com
pany, were concluded before Judge
Ellis, of the superior court of Fulton
County on Monday afternoon and a
decision will be rendered by the court
Thursday morning.
Major Cumming’s petition asked
that the Brown petition for a receiver
for the company be thrown out of
court because the petition of The
Empire Life, asking that Judge Ham
mond, of the Richmond superior court
sign an order placing the company in
the hand* of the state insurance de
partment should take precedence
over the Brown petition for several
reasons. In the event Judge Ellis
sustain the demurrer the company
will be automatically placed into the
hands of the state Insurance depart- I
ment.
The outcome of the case will be
witched with Interest. Judge Ham
mond several weeks ago signed an
order placing the company In the
hands of the Insurance commissioner
and attorneys for former Judge
Brown are asking that a receiver be
appointed by ths superior court ol
Fulton County.
