TODAY
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
Don’t trifle with smallpox. The
trifling goes too far. Many will dis
cover to their sorrow, that Jenner
was a great benefactor of the human
race, and was not a man “responsible
for injecting poison Into mllions of
his fellow men.”
Nineteen smallpox deaths in Wash
ington, D. C., since January 1, worry
the public health service, and with
cause. If an epidemic starts and
makes headway, which it will not do
in the capital of the nation, 19 deaths
may soon grow into thousands.
An unfortuate woman, Mrs. Mar
garet Sloan, probably demented, kil
led her 17-year-old son and her 17
year-old daughter while they slept.
The boy, deaf and dumb, was of un
sound mind. His life meant misery
to him arid others. His mother says
6he killed her normal daughter also
because “I knew I would have to die
and I did not want to leave her
here.”
The woman failed in her effort to
kill herself with the ax that killed
her children.
I Her explanation to the police was,
“It is my God-given right to kill my
deficient boy, because I know it is
better for him.”
You shudder at this tragedy, and 1
remember that once the heads of
great religions acted upon the belief
that it was their God-given right to
kill those that disagreed with them,
on questions of theology. Ip this be
lief tens of thousands were tortured
and burned alive. At least that "God
given right to kill” has been with
drawn from religious leaders, except
among a few savage tribes.
In civilization it is confined to in
sane mothers. There is comfort in
that.
On board in the American steamer
Wytheville, bound from Africa to
Norfolk, Va., a vigorous rhinoceros
broke out of its coop on deck. The
crew took to the riggings, the rhin
oceros took command of the ship. The
heavy-footed. boast smashed a few
hatch coverings, as it charged
around, glaring out of its little eyes.
Then it was lassoed and that was
over.
The short reign of the rhinoceros
reminds you of some revolutions in
history. The rhinoceros didn’t know
the difference between bow and stern,
tiller and main sail, yet he knew as
much seamanship ns some Individuals
that thihk tftfey shobld govern, know
about government. Like the rhlq
ocerqs, those individuals feel that all
would be well if they could only take
charge.
The Fayetteville Observer, w'ith an
editor of aefive conscience, will be
published for J6 days.without criminal
news. .Thep readers will be asked
how they like it. A majority will
answer In words of the great Bacon,
“Nothing concerning human beings
can be foreign to me.”
Can you Imagine any editor leaving
out the death of Cleopatra after the
snake bite? That was suicide, there
fore crime. Read Shakespeare’s re
port of It.
Who would omit the killing of his
best friend by Alexander the Great
at a drunken banquet or Ravaillac’s
attack on the French king, or Rav
aillac’s horribly cruel death, winding
up with the cooking and eating of
part, of his body.
Who would leave out the assassina
tion of Lincoln, Garfield or McKin
ley? All that was crime news.
Would you refuse to print the
strange case of the Titehborno clai
mant, the beheading of Louis the
Sixteenth, Marie Antoinette, Charles
the First, poor Lady Jane Cray’s fate
in the tower, the killing of Mara by
Charlotte Corday, the guillotining of
Danton and his enemy Roblespierre.
A Fatal Omission
From the Argonaut.
A few minutes after the alarm was
given in the fire at Hotel Del Monte
last year one of the guests joined a
group of friends that were watching
the spectacle and chaffed them on their
apparent excitement.
“There was nothing to be excited
about," he said. "When the alarm
sounded I jumped out of bed, lighted
a cigaret, brushed my hair and took
my time about dressing. I didn’t like
the knot in my necktie, so I tied it over
again—that’s how cool I was.”
“Fine,” one of his friends remarked
"but why didn’t you put on your
trousers?”
