TIME TO REFORM HALLO
WZ E
4 1.
The Fourth of July has been almost completely transform
ed into a holiday of safety and sanity. Is it not time that Hal
lowe'en, officially unrecognized though its holiday character is
but dear nevertheless to youthful and romantic hearts, should
be brought by public sentiment to a similarly safe-and-sane
basis?
The favorite offense of Hallowe'en is wanton destruction
of property—not so grave a matter perhaps as the destruc
tion or maiming of life cn Independence Day. But the dep"
redations thought by scire of our youth to be licensed on th
evening before All Saints' Day are oftentimes of serious ex
tent. Worse than that, they involve an insidious form of law
lessness that appeals to the bey sphlt cf adventure.

HOMICIDE, EXCUSABLE AND FELONIOUS.
Just at present two spectacular moving-picture produc
tions are occupying the al.ler.tion, it is scarcely too much to
say, of hundreds of thousands of people in many cities oi
the United States. In one, there is a case of what some peo
ple would erroneously call suicide and in the other, a double
murder and a homicide in self-defense occur. All three in
stances are presented to the spectator in such a way as to
evoke approval, and in no case is there any criticism or com
ment either for or against the deed. The situation which
results in the taking of human life is practically identical in
all three cases, but is dealt with in three different ways. Vir
tue is endangered in each instance, but in one case the person
endangered leaps from a cliff, with only one chance in a
thousand of escaping death in the second case the person en"
dangered shoots the unjust aggressor and in the third, a
mother sends a bullet through the hearts of her two imperil
ed children, being goaded to her awful deed by the frenzed
fear cf a fate for them, which she regards as far worse than
death. The widespread publicity which these vast scenic rep
resentations have enjoyed and are likely to enjoy for an indefi
nite time to come, makes a discussion of the homicides timely
and even necessary.
There is no doubt whatever that homicide in general
forbidden by the natural law and bj' positive Divine command.
The precept, "Thou shalt net kill," was not merely engraved
on the tablets of Mt. Sinai—it is written unmistakably in every
human heart. Directly, deliberately and on one's own auth
ority, to take the life of another who is innocent, is an unjust
invasion of the rights of the individual, of the State of which
he is a member, and of God._ Civilized society is unanimous
in its reprobation of such a deed, and almost universally pun
ishes it with death. The public executioner in the perform
ance of his duty may put an end to the existence of a condemn"
ed criminal and in a just war, an individual may, at his coun
try bidding, do 'his best to disable his enemy even with the
certain prospect of inflicting a mortal wound. But no man
in his private capacity, may lawfully, by his direct action, seek
to kill another, unless that other is unjustly, here and now, ac
tually assailing or certainly about to assail his own or a third
person's right to life or limb, cr to property of great value, or
to virtue.

in order to bring Hallowe'en observances within reason. Th?
folk lore that clusters about Hallowe'en is a rich and unfailing
mine for the celebrations of the ancient holiday. Parents
should find it easy to deny their children the privilege of be
coming nocturnal rowdies, if thev substitute some rational
entertainment for the evening. The harmless superstitions,
distorted survivals of ancient pa^an observances, offer an at
tractive basis for marry Ha.lowe'en parties to take the place of
vc xatious depredations.—Minneapolis Jcurro.l.
A CHARITY BALL.
'A few days ago Chief cf Police McNisce happened across
a traveler, a working man, whose physical rendition was pit
iable. He was of fojeinn birth, ha.dly able to speak English,
nr-d apparently lacked the ccuia«re to make known his wants.
it not that assistance was oftered by Mr. McNiece, and
His illness attended to, it would have been not surprising to
learn that the unfortunate was a slate charge. The incident
prompted the writer to suggest that a charily ball be promoted,

The charity ball is the largest social event of the winter season
in the east and the returns are put to goo duse. In the event
the return that would come from an event of this nature here
should exceed the amount necessary for charitable purposes,
during the coming season, the funds could be donated to pur
chasing a number of new books for the public library. The
library from time to time is in receipt of new books from
those who are interested in its success, and doubtless would
welcome assistance in the event the money was not necessary
for charitable purposes.
