Edouard Belin, the young French in
ventor who has given numerous sue
cessful demonstrations of his system
of telephotography. may be a little
sanguine when he says he expects to
telegraph pictures from Paris to New
York by cable as early as next spring.
Inventors generally are. Nevertheless.
the time is probably not far off when
he, or someone else, will accomplish
that marvel.
Enough has been achieved in the line
of sending pictures by telegraph to
show that the principle has been dis
covered. Pictures have been sent over
considerable stretches of wire, as, for
instance, between Berlin and Munich,
that, while far from perfect, were yet
fairly clear and ~likenesses of the sub
jeets. The rest is but a matter of i'm
%provenent in apparatus. There is no
end to the wonders yet to be achieved
with electricity and no scarcity of able
men of science to develop its possible
ties.

As ro ZEE RoauEs, aALIERY.

While the long fight of Roland Moli-
neaux, after his final acquittal, to Sc
cure the destruction of his photo
graphs and measurements preserved in
the Rogues' Gallery resulted In an act
of the Legislature of New York pro-
viding for such destruction on order of
the court, the question still remains
open. as far as adjudication is con-
cerned, whether the police have a right
to photograph and measure for he
gallery" persons charged with, but
not yet convicted of, az felony. This
question Is to be carried to the courts
in the cases of the indicted directors
of the Borough Bank of Brooklyn, and
he final decision will be waited with
interest.
On the face of it, and under the prin-
ciple that the law presumes a person
innocent until convicted, it would ap-
pear little short of an outrage for the
police to place photographs and meas
urements of a merely accused and in
dicted person in the Rogues' Gallery
thereby placing the accused officially
on record as a felon. This, of course,
is assuming that the party has not
previously been convicted of crime.
But 1t is the general custom of police
officials in all narts of the ountry
without specific authority of law, to
photograph prisoners charged with Sc
rious offenses and place the features
with the regular collection of pictures
of criminals, not even waiting for in
dictments. There a presumably n
cent person, depicted as a criminal, is
on view, branded.
The contention of police officials is
that, in case of an escape or Jumping
bail, these records are all they have for
Identification, and therefore the out
rage" is necessary. Ifthat gives the right
to make the records 1t does not carry
the right to add them to the "Rogues'
Gallery collection before the case has
been disposed of by conviction. In case
of acouittal it should be incumbent on
the police to destroy such records
without a specific order of the courts,
them before conviction.

FROM STAR READERS


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In what countries and when have men
been sent to prison for debt? H.. f. ].
Imprisonment for debt was abolished
by Congress In the United States in 1888,
though this measure was not fully en-
forced until 1899. In nearly every country,
until comparatively recent times, debtors
have been subject to Imprisonment. After
the panic of 1926, 1O1. 900 writs for debt
were issued in England. In 1880 7,WO per
sons were sent to London prison for debt.
and on January /, 1910, LOO persons were
held for debt in England and Wales, l,oo
in Ireland and less than 100 in Scotland.
In 1929 there were 5000 debtors In prison
In Massachusetts, 10000 in New York,
1000 In Pennsylvania, 5000 in Maryland,
and a like proportion in other States.
Many of these persons were jailed LOT
debts of 81. The law providing for the
Imprisonment of men who could not pay
their debts was shown to be impracticapie
by statistics taken from Philadelphia
where in 1928 there were 1,OS5 debtors I'M
prlsoned for debts amounting to S2o,Wo.
The expenses of keeping these persons IN
confinement was $685., 900, which wal paid
by the city, and the amount recovered by
this method was $295.-Ed.1

1t is not everyone who can afford to
boycott a gold coin because he doesn't
like what's inscribed upon it, as Cen
eral Charles Miller, president of the
Galena Signal Oil Company, the stand

national government. l. for one, am in
favor of refusing to touch the coins, as
a rebuke to President Roosevelt for
leaving off this motto"
Nevertheless. General Miller would
have to accept any gold coin of the
United States as full legal tender for
the payment of a debt. For instance,
Notwithstanding his religious scruples,
when a railroad company hands out a
bag of the mottoless gold eagles to the
general or his su~bordinates to pay for
lubricating or signal oils, he or they
could not lawfully refuse to receive
them. either from the company he
favors with a low rate or the n that
he charges double for precisely the
ami goods; which is his practise, ac-

TRENTON, Nov. 29.-Apollo, Hermes.
Diana, the Greek Slave. Diseobulus,
Venus, and other marvels which nave
looked forth on the public for many
centuries naked but unashamed, and
have been admired here in the indus
trial Art School for decades, have been
clothed in fig leaves. Charcoal draw
ings have been d~enaturized, plaster
sketches have been retouched.
The board of directors of the Trenton
Industrial Art School caused the action
of clothing the unclothed classics as the
result of a meeting last week. in which
ardent ministers, Sunday-school super
intendents, several merchants and a
few professional men decided that there
was too much suggestiveness about Art
with a capital A, and that the pur-
poses of the exhibition would best be
served through the medium of the fig
leaf.
Accordingly yesterday when the pub
lie visited the art halls of the school
they were amazed to see the reproduce
lions of the masters, the marble tints
of which have been mellowed by age
and smoke. with glazing white fig
leaves attached. The supporters of the
idea said that the glare of the cloth
would grow less with time and the
accumulation of smoke.
The news of the sartorial additions
to the classic statues spread through
Trenton, and yesterday afternoon the
exhibition rooms of the school were
crowded with an eager and laughing
throng.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 20, 1907.
AppoINTIvE AND ELECTIVE JUDI
CIARY.

1t is doubtful If the contention OF
that the Constitution of the United
States, in providing for an appointive
judiciary with life tenure-"during good
behavior''-is wrong and should be
changed to an elective judiciary for
specific terms, will find much sympathy
outside of those who would hope to
profit by 1t, chiefly politicians. The
inspiration of the North Carolina jus
tiee's attack was doubtless the Inter
ference" of Federal judges lately in
some of the railroad prosecutions in the
Southern States, though this does not
impugn his sincerity in the belief he set
forth somewhat vigorously in a recent
address In New York.
Chief Justice Clark cannot justify his
argument by the records of the Federal
courts. Considering human fallibility,
the record of those courts, the judges of
all of which are appointed. is remark
able for its freedom from scandal.
Rare, indeed, are the exceptions from
the general high character and compe-
tency of the men who have filled these
positions. Their life tenure, the impos-
sibility of removing them during good
behavior, strengthens their courage and
independence.
AS Hugh Gordon Miller, in a reply to
ton of all the quasi-political cases that
nave come before the Supreme Court of
the United States shows that a major
ity have been decided against the politi-
cal i%nclinations of previous party affilia-
tions of a majority of the justices COM
posing the court at the time of the
hearings" This puts Justice Clark out
of court on one of his contentious, sub
serviency to the appointing power.
On the other hand, the record of
elected judges cannot compare with
this. In New York the cases of "fall
down. even among judges of the higher
courts, are not a few within the MEM
DRY of men not yet old. When the po-
litical machine selects the candidates
for the judiciary 1t cannot be ex-
pected to exercise that care n dis
erection in the selection that is, perforce,
incumbent Upon a responsible execu-
tive, and seldom, If ever, does. New
Jersey. where the judiciary is appoint
i've, presents a bright contrast to New
York in this respect. Her judiciary, in
the higher courts at least, have always
borne comparison with that of any
other State. 1t is fortunate that the
Federal courts are free from the con-
troll of machine politics.

THE coNscR1pr1oN OF ROOSEVELT.

Anent this discussion of forcing an
other term on President Roosevelt,
confined largely to those who would
rather see him in Tophet, the World
brings forth a Chicagoan yclept Rus
sell Wiles'' with a citation from a de-
cision of the Supreme Court of IL
linois that the refusal of a person
duly elected or appointed to public
office. IL he is eligible, is an offense at
common law and punishable as SUCH"
and seems to opine that Mr.. Roosevelt
can be conscripted.
There is a sort of vague recollection
that the World was one of the original
boomers of this additional term idea,
advancing the proposition that the
people wanted him and he couldn't
back put. And yet we fancy that the
World and it's Wiles and the Illinois
Supreme Court combined cannot move
Mr.. Roosevelt from his determination
with threats of the common law, con-
seription or any other device. You
can lead a horse to water, but you can't
make him drink" You can hand Mr..
Roosevelt a nomination he doesn't
want, but you can't make him un.

that it was found impossible to con-
ceal the Objectionable nakedness other
wise than by turning he face to the
wall. Accordingly, the lovely Diana
has been turned toward the wal and
she. of all the marbles, has beer left

1t was suggested by one of h sight
seers yesterday afternoon that Apollo
be given a pair of trousers, cotton for
summer and flannel for winter, to
serve the time and occasion as well as
to be free from offense. And it was
suggested that the mantle of Venus,
which falls in beautiful folds about her
hips, be hoisted just a trihe with a
pair Of suspenders.
Mercury, with his winged feet, looked
positively abashed with his glarins
white scant raiment, and his ~nakedness
was SC marked that it seemed to hurt
him. The Winged Victory, even in her
modesty, has been passed into a dark
corner. for there vas no n bold
enough to suggest how the outlines OF
her form. which shine transparently
through her robes. could be clothed,
save by sackcloth or darkness.
The directors of the school were
called on many times during the after
noon to defend their position, which
many of the patrons of the schooi
called ridiculous. They claimed that SO
MANY complaints had come from par
ents of children studying at the school
that the action was necessary.

AN ACT OF PREPARATION.

As the government is e%ncountering
great difficulties in enlisting recruits
for the army, it is suggested by the
Philadelphia Record that patriots who
have persuaded Congress to abolish the
post canteen should come forward with
alacrity and fill up the thinned regi-
mental ranks. The proposition, IN the
face of it, has its merits. TO be sure,
the chief persuaders, II not the vast
majority of them, were patriotesses.
The women did it, and there is no de-
sire to enlist them in the ranks of the
army. Besides, If they were eligible
at all, they would all want commits
sions, and those who were able to per-
suade or dragon Congress into what
has proved such an egregious error
would have little difficulty in getting
the commissions.
However. they could help fill the de-
pleted ranks by repairing their error.
In the light of the testimony of the
official reports and the testimony Of
officers and the women of their families
of the harm done by the abolition of
the enlisted mans club" those per-
auaders and their male helpers owe
II as a patriotic duty as well as
an act of reparation to work to restore
the situation by removing one of the
principal barriers to recruiting and
breeders of intemperance, disease and
desertion.

hummer I'D Words.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
What number of words Will an average
man employ in daily conversation? How
many words are there in an unabridged
dictionary? B. S. /.
rIt Is said that an English farm hands
is limited to about 300 words;
that an American w~orkingman who reads
the newspapers may command from 700 to
LOCO words, and that 5000 is a large num-
Der even for an educated reader or speaker.
George Flemming is authority for the
statement that Every well-read man OF
fair ability will be able to define or I'M
derstand 10000 to $4,000 prlmitives and prin-
cipal derlvative words. The same man in
his conversation and writing viii use not
less than 5000 to 1000 words. II he be a
literary man he will command 1000 or 3,Ooo
more. Common people use from 5000 to 4,oOO
words, according to their general lnteill-
gence and conversational power. An II
nterate" man Zone who canot read) VIII
use from 1.500 to $500 words. A person who
does not command at least LOCO words Is
an ignoramus, and will find difficulty in
expressing his thoughts, II indeed he have
any to express. AS to the dictionaries,
the early editions Of Webster are said to
have had only 10000 words. Worcester's
has / 5000. Webster's Unabridged 49, 900.
and Webster's International Dictionary

THE RISE OF EMPORIA.
How 1t Got to Be a County Seat in
the Early Days.

The early settlers OF Kansas remember
many exciting times oe~casioned by county
seat fights. Many of these fights resulted
in the killing OF some Of the participants.
But when Emporia wanted to get the
county seat away from Americas it set
its brains to work and took it without
raising a disturbance. Americas was I'M
aware of the trick that was being played.
When Emporia conceived the idea of be-
coming the capital Of the county, the south
line of Breckenridge County, now Lyon
County, was a short distance south of the
town. It's citizens circulated a petition
asking the Legislature to cut a strip off
from the north end OF the county and to
add a like strip to the south end, thus
making Emporia close to the centre of
the county. Americas heard of the pro-
posed change and got out a remonstrance
which received as many or more sigma
lures than the petition.
At that time the State capital was
Lecompon and the only way to get there
was ON horseback. Zach town prepared
to present its side Of the case to the Legis-
lature and the Emporia man started with
his petition for Leeompton. On his way,
however, he was stricken with fever and
ague and was detained on account OF the
Illness. The Americas man with the re-
monstrance overlook him. lust what kind
OF q uedi was HiduS 10 hVA AhoNH W lAS
public. but the remonstrance never got
to the Legislature, and the petition
presented, the humber of signers had
greatly increased since it had left En-
poria. The Americas man suddenly came
into possession of $500 and the title to
several town lots, it is said.
Owing to the poor facilities of commune
cation in those days. the people of Amer
icus did not hnd out they had ben duped
until it was too late. Nobody opposed the
change IN the Legislature. the petition was
granted and Emporia got n county seat
without much tr~ouble.-Kansas City Times.
