As n record of sensational develop
ments, the career of Harry Thaw is
doubtless without an equal in the his
tory of crime in the United States.
Many und famous criminals there have
been hut without exception none of
them were the central figure in a
career so Ailed with sensationalism as
is that of this ignoble scion of an
honored house. In the matter of sen
sationalism Thaw seems to be picked
by fate to be ever the central figure in
episodes of the most dramatic char
acter. Sensation and notoriety have
followed his steps almost from the day
that he emerged from the adolescent
period up to the present day, and the
successive stages hv which he has ar
rived at his present state of unenvi
able conspicuousness have each been
marked with spectacular manifestations.
As the central figure In one of the most
sensational murders in the history of
the nation his career was laid bare to
the inspection of the world and though
tinged with the scarlet of depravity
and immorality the same spectacular
element was visible In all of the pri
mary events of his life. The long fight
for existence culminating in his incar
ceration in Matteawan, the persistent
efforts to secure his release, his re
markable escape from the watchful,
guardianship of the state and his spec
tacular fight to avoid return to the
state which demanded that he expiate
his crime, all served to cast an added
glnmor of notoriety about his namp.
Each and every move in the long series
of events arising through his arts have
sparkled with sensational features and
it Is believed that it is this singular
'connection with the startling, the
strange nnd the unusual more than the
notoriety achieved by his crime that
has served to keep him in the forefront
of the public mind. Right up to th">
present hour this singular sensation
alism continues to follow the leading
events of his existence. In truth 'it
seems that sensation has marked him
for its own as it would appear that, n°
matter his situation, something start
ling will ultimately develop. While it
is doubtless true that a great measure j
of the public interest Is occasioned by ]
the promt nance and wealth of his fam- ’

lly added to the lurid circumstances
attending hts crime it is also probable
that it is the spectacular element sur
rounding his personality that causes
the public to retain such an absorbing
Interest in himself and his affairs.
The state of New York had a brief
trial of a "eugenic" law designed to
render difficult the marriage of physi
cally unfit persons, but it was prompt
ly repealed In response to a widespread
opposition which developed as soon as
attempts were made to enforce the law.
Wisconsin tried a similar experiment,
with a loudly expressed dissatisfac
tion from nil over the state, and the
prospect Is in that state the law will
likewise he repealed. Out the eugen
ists are not discouraged. One of them,
a New York physician, has now come
forward with a suggestion for a law
which will obviate, in his judgment, the
legitimate objections which have here
tofore been urged against the previous
experimental laws, which require a
physical examination of each candidate
for matrimony and a physician's cer
tificate that they are free from diseases
which mights he transmitted to their
offspring. His suggestion is to the ef
fect that each of the would-be con
tracting parties should he required, be
fore approaching the altar, to hand to
the other a newly issued life insurance
policy, taken out, as all such pollices
are in reputable companies, after the
applicant has passed an examination
satisfactory to the company’s physi
cian. Persons whose sense of delicacy
might he offended by the requirement
of physicians’ certificates that they had
not transmittable disease, ns a prere
quisite to matrimony, he believes will
not suffer from any such qualms when
the object of the examination and cer
tificate Is the purely commercial one
of getting life insurance.—Kx.
The Post-Intelligencer has received
a circular from the Russian-Amerioan
Chamber of Commerce of Moscow, in
viting the co-operation of American
merchants with the organization anil
Its purposes. That co-operation should
he extended hv the commercial bodies
of the United States. This Russian -
American Chamber of Commerce is a
new institution, its charter having been
granted by the Czar hut a year ago, on
May 24, 1914. This was before the first
jhint had yet been given of the possi
| blllty of the present Kuropenn war.
| Yet the purpose of the chamber has
• been made of greater moment on ao
j count of the war than it was before.
Primarily the chamber was brought
into existence for the purpose of bring
ing about more direct trade relations
between the United States and Russia
—cutting out the middlemen who were
taking profits from that trade and in
cidentally hampering it, rather than
promoting it, for the benefit of their
own countries. A great share of the
trade of the United States with Russia
heretofore lias not been direct, hut
through Germany, hence It does not
appear in its full Importance in the
ousoins tables of exports and imports
issued in the United States. As the
circular of the chamber says: "The
existing method of having commercial
intercourse through a third country is
not only unsatisfactory to both coun
tries, but possibly even prejudicial, be
cause that third country can hinder or
regulate this Intercourse according to
| its own Interests. Russians overpay /or
j American goods, the export of which is
in the hands of agents of other coun
tries, and the Americans lose as much."
Tlie war has not only given an oppor
tunity for the creation of a direct
trade with Russia, instead of through
German channels, but it has forced the
necessity of direct trade, or otherwise
trade through Great Britain. Russian
merchants have taken the Initiative.
It is up to the American merchants lo
co-operate heartily,—P. T.
