an election, even year away. is enough to

against the entire administration Of the

inspired by bogus morality. Thus, the

the demands of the situation. AS The Star

advantage under which Great Britain now
labors arises from opposing infantry to
raiders in the saddle. She has men enough.
and in all probability they are in good

practically useless and helpless by being

Deadly Assaults.

Today's police reports show the usual
number of Christmas casualties and trag
edies. including several vicious, deadly as
saults upon the person. One murder IS re-
corded, the slayer being a negro who was
only recently sent to jail for a few months
for committing serious assault upon
another. This case. when considered with
others of q like nature which are of recent
record. illustrates the often noted fact that
juries and courts in this District may be be
coming too lenient in dealing with such Of
fences. 1t Is often the case that man
guilty of an assault upon the person with a
dangerous If not a deadly weapon is merely
tried in the Police Court and sent to Jail for
short term. whereas II he were held for
the grand jury and tried in the criminal
courts he could be sent away for the more
commensurate period of years. There should
be stinening all along the line in this re-
gard. There is a large vicious class here
as in almost every other city. which needs
the severest discipline. The practice of
weapon carrying is too common for safety
In some Of the lower Sums where the
vicious classes are prone to frequent quar-
rels. deadly ARRAYS are common. Every
suggestion of leniency shown toward the
offenders in such cases is bid for contin-
ued disorder and perhaps for deadly results
A previous conviction for assault ought to
cause the offender to be held for the high
est possible charge, and when convicted
given the highest possible sentence There
is opportunity here for reform which may
bear fruit in decreased crime list, and as
surediy in the public knowledge that the
courts are working their hardest to repress
these results Of human depravity
