LOWREY REFUSES
PREFERRED HONOR
OF DENOMINATION
Wouldn't Serve Another Term in
Assembly-New Idea Slap De-
termines Roberts to Stick.

1t is likely that at least two of the
present Assemblymen from Essex
County will not stand for another NOM
ination and election, though both of
them would be almost certain of receiv-
ing nominations if they desired. They
are DIR. James II. Lowrey and H. Stacy
Smith.
In the case of DR.. Lowrey, he says
that he has absolutely made IN his
mind not to allow his name to be used.
Mr.. Smith feels that the duties of the
office interfere with his business and he
feels just now hat he will not be a
candidate. lie admits. however, that
he has not positively made up his mind
about what he will do.
Assemblyman William Roberts had
intended not to run again, but after
being criticised by the New Idea people
and cut by them, so far as their
promise of support goes, he has
changed his mind. and will make a
fight for the nomination.
Assemblyman Henry Young had also
been doubtful about running again, and
may HOl, Dul lis ISilIlil5 DlOOu Ild9
been riled by the action of the New
Idea element, and he may fight at the
primaries.
Assemblyman August j. Miller, who
was also among those b~lackballed by
the Colbyites, has determined to be on
the ticket again and will fight it out
at the primaries.
In a statement made today to THE
EVENING STAR DIR. James II. Low
rey stated his position. He will refuse
TO be a candidate because the work Of
the Legislature interferes too greatly
with his practise,
DIR. Lowrey and Mr.. Smith were prac-
tically assured of denomination with
out opposition, for in addition to the
support they would get from the regu-
lar Republicans their course in the
Legislature was Endorsed by the New
Idea people
'I did not expect to stand for the

people is unjust in view of my record
in the Assembly last winter. / am
going to stand on my record now and
make a fight at the primaries with the
full expectation Of being one of the
candidates nominated. When nominated
I will be among those elected
Mr.. Miller was willing to go back, but
got his blood somewhat heated when he
also was placed among those whom the
New idea would not support for renom-
ination. His friends have assured him
of support at the primaries, and they
are confident he win be on the ticket.

WINTERS FOUND
GUILTY OF ROBB|NG
DENTISTS OFFICES
Jury Took Only Thirteen MINI
utes to Bring in a
Verdict.

1t took a jury thirteen minutes to-
day to convict John f. Winters on
charges of robbing down town dental
offices in the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions today. Those whose offices he
robbed were DR.. Eric W.. Mai
gren, DIR. Wilbur E. Holt and DR.. Louis
A. Brady. They were all entered
towards the close of last April, when
dental tools and other articles valued
at several hundreds of dollars were
stolen. Gold and platinum filings were
among the missing things of value.
Some of them were sold to a store in
upper Market street, whose owner
identified the prisoner.
Edward H. Schwarz, the superin-
tendent of the identification bureau at
police headquarters, identified several
keys found upon Winters as Of the
Skeleton" variety.

This year has been the most success
in the history of the academy, every
place in every form having been taken.
The total number enrolled for the year
was 1923. The number of applications for
year is again unusually large, and
several forms are practically filled al
ready.
A notable feature has been the open
ing of the new athletic grounds, which
are a distinct addition to the facilities
of the school. They were in fair con
dition his spring, and work is being
continued on them through the summer,
so that by fall they should be in first
class shape.

BoyERrowN VICTIMS INSURED.

All the unfortunate people who were
Boyertown, in Pennsylvania, were of
small means, and the majority of
surance on their lives. AS much as
$40, 900 is to be paid out on their ac-
count by the Prudential Company
alone.
In reckoning the economies of wage
earners the statistician too often for
gets the feature of life insurance,
which is really the most important of
the items that go to make up their
financial Thu man who car
ries an insurance policy has an actual
investment to the amount of his policy
as long as he keeps his policy up. The
aggregate of the capital represented by
the small policies taken u by the
wage-earners is away up In the hun
dreds of millions.
Why should not insurance be reck-
oned as an asset along with saw
ings bank deposits and building and
loan investments? 1t would, indeed,
be less hardship to wipe out the saw
ings bank deposits han to destroy the
insurance, inasmuch as the depositors
constitute only a fraction of the num-
Der of policyholdres. And the savings
deposits are owned by a thrifty class
who could begin to save again, while
a multitude of the holders of small in
surance have no other dependence tina
the amounts they are insured for.

THE OUTLOOK IN RUSSIA.

Professor Milyoukov, leader of the
Constitutional Democrats of Russia,
and a member of the third Douma, who
is over here to tell America about the
situation, doesn't appear to see much
encouragement for a betterment of the
conditions of the Russian people in the
neal future. wherever we turn, or
look" he says, 1--WE only meet with
new trouble to come, nowhere with
any hope for Cancellation and social
peace
This is a gloomy view, but Professor
Milyoukov is pessimistic with time limi-
tations. There is to him an Ultima
Thule. He has hope for sometime in
the undated future of the triumph of
liberty and ogre for the Russian
people out of the centuries of repression
and suppression and tyranny that have
held them in virtual bondage by cruel
punishments and the deliberate with
holding of enlightening education. He
believes that the principle of constitu-
tional government. however embryonic,
has been granted, and that the seed
will terminate and grow, slowly to be
sure, but surely. It is a slow process.

that the full corn in the ear"

Need Better Militia.

The nation is spending more thar a
million dollars a year In equipplng the
State troops and the men are liable to be
called out at any time for the national
defense anywhere within our borders.
They are not all furnished with modern
rifles, but 1t is some satisfaction to know
that they will be provided with them in
a short time. The drill Is a little more
effective than formerly, but is notorious
ly too short to be of much benefit in case
of actual war. That we may have a war
is not to be denied. Every generation in
this country from the first settlement has
had n war, and while much has been done
to mitigate the ravages and horrors of
onnic the situation is not such as to give
great confidence in enduring universal
peace.
Mr. Justice Harlan, Oldest member of the
Supreme Court and a man of wisdom and
knowledge, Is no alarmist, but he Is GER
tain that a war between the Orient and
the Occident Is certain to come. His views
are based on sane considerations and he
is not alone In his thinking. The awaken
ing Of the East is bound to produce ire
mendous struggles for existence.
We need a better militia, a better stand
ing army and a better navy. And we must
pay for them. The time to act is before
danger confronts us, for when 1t does come
1t will be Observation-Disclosures Inquirer

AN A VERDICT.

The jury in the case of Joseph Mustol
at Paterson gave another illustration Of
the inconsistency and stupidity of the
average trial jury in the verdict rem
dered last night. Mustol is either guilty
of a deliberate murder or he is inno-
CEN of the crime charged in the indict-
ment. The evidence against him was
complete and his lawyers w~ereAready at
any time to accept a verdict of murder
In the second degree. But the prosecu-
tor would not consent. He had all the
proofs of guilt. Nevertheless this stupid
jury, with all the facts before them, and
knowing also that Mustol had had a
hand In the previous murder Of Robert
Cortese, an estimable Italian citizen of
Paterson, agreed upon a verdict of III
der in the second degree.
This verdict would be inexplicable If
1t were not known that cowardice as
well as stupidity often gets into the
Jury box. The men who served on this
jury and who compromised among
themselves to save a murderer, one Of
the worst and most dangerous types,
from the electric chair, deserve to be
whipped through the streets of Paterson
and spat upon. They have put a stain

A NEW ARM FOR THE GUARD.

An announcement that will crafty
national guardsmen is that the Ma
tional Guard throughout the country
would be equipped before April 80 with
the new model 1903 magazine rifle and
1906 ammunition, including a sharp
pointed bullet Of .3S inch calibre, which
is a modification of the English Spitzen
bullet.
The policy of the Federal Govern
ment now is to conform the National
Guard in its organization and equip
ment as closely as possible to the regu-
lar army and to adapt 1t to all the
accepted modern military standards.
The country has been complacently
satisfied with it's National Guard es-
adjustment for the reason only that
the people have not known what the
real requirements of an effective mill
tary force We're. They have had no
means for comparison, as the regular
army is almost a negligible quantity
and is invisible to the vast majority
OF the nation. The steps taken of late
by the Federal Government have been
onlightening.

nheYinr Their wives.

John G. Shedd, of Marshall Field g
Co, is held responsible for this yarn:
''Three men sat rather late at the club
one night. As they were separating they
discussed a little nervously the receptions
that awaited them at their wives hands,
and agreed that he who didn't do what
his wife told him on getting home should
have to treat the others to a turkey dim
ner. The first man, after reaching his
house, stumbled about the dark bedroom
till he kicked the cat. The cat %squalled
and the mans wife, raising her head from
the pillow, moaned: Well, go on; kill the
poor cat and have done with it, The man
frowned and muttered to himself: TT is n
case Of kill the cat or pay for the dinner
So he killed the cat.
The second man on his arrival could
noe find any matches. As he looked for
some in the drawing room he bumped
against the piano, and his wife COM
planned: Why don't you break the piano,
careless?' Determined not to lose his bet,
the man got q Ratchet, and the sound of
crashing blows soon filed the house.
9Th third man, getting home, STUN
bled Oh the way upstairs. His wife
screamed angrily: Go on, fall downstairs
and break your neck, doi' Not me- said
the third man, after a moments thought
I'll pay for the turkey dinner. "-Chicago

probIbitIon in the south.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Win you kindly give a synopsis of prohi-
bition progress made in the southern
States? Z. d. D.
1.-THE New orleans Times-Democrat sum
med up the situation recently as 1olloWs'
I'm brief, according to the laws thar op-
tain in the several Southern States by
prohibition, by Ugh license, by local op-
tion, and by the dispensary system, ninety
counties OF the 119 in Kentucky ana IN
nearly all the rural precincts OF the other
countless. only the cities having saloons,
most of North Carolina (all except a rev
towns), South Carolina, Mississippi, most
of Texas. nearly all of Tennessee except
the larger c%ities), and now Georgia are
closed TO the liquor traffic.
A matters stand today, absolute prohl-
billion mas been enacted in Georgia. In
South Carolina the dispensary system in a
modified form exists. North Carolina has
a State dispensary system. The Texas
Legislature, which has recently adjourned,
enacted severe avs against the hauor
trade, which is subject to local prohibition
by the people of any county. Onuer lhe
new law saloons, where they exist are
held to strict regulation, and IL any saloon
keeper is convicted Of a violation of the
law he is fined from 500 to 5000, and IN
| addition given a Jail sentence, II the
gravity of his offense warrants IT, Ills
license is also revoked, and he cannot re-
sumo business within two years OF the date
of his conviction. At that time, provided
no one objects, he can Renter the bust
ness, but a second offense forever pre-
eludes the possibility Of his securing a
| liquor license anywhere in the State. II
another s~aloonkeeper employs him, his own
license is revoked.
I'm Tennessee, under a modified local OPP
tion law, today no whiskey is legally sold
in Knoxville, jackson or Bristol, and the
sale of liquor in the State is largely con-
fined to tho cities of CHATTANOOGA, Mem
phis aud Nashville, and to La Follette, q
small mining town of 5000 people,
In Mississippi seventy of the seventy
six counties are dry The representa-
tives from these dry counties elected to
the next Legislature are being pledged to
support statutory prohibition, in accord
ance with a well-defned plan. Today no
liquor Is being sold in the cities of Merid-
ian, jackson, Greenwood, Columbus, Aber-
deem. Hattiesburg and West Point.
Arkansas is treated to prohibition poll
ties as a regular diet. At every general
election the people vote on issuing II
censes. Under the local-option law each
county settles the question of license OF
no license, and A petition OF the majority
of the adult citizens, men and women, Is
sufficient 10 prevent a saloon operating

A DIET OF SONG.

The efficacy of song to cure the ills
that flesh is heir to is strongly argued
by Bishop Samuel Fallows, of Chicago,
who recommends singing as a regular
diet for everyone. Singing" says he,
us one of the first requisites of the
spirit of health. 1t has been recognized
by neurologists as a powerful factor in
mental condition, and has been pre-
scribed in cases of prostration
and melancholia. We should sing at
every opportunity"
That may be all well and good for
people blessed with vocal abilities, but
we shy at thinking what might be the

and indiscriminately upon the good

NO MORE PoLYGAMY.
Utah and the MormOns Have Kept
Faith with the Nation, Says smoot.

In an article entitled THE Passing
of Polygamy." which appears in n
North American Review, Senator Reed
Smoot argues that the State of Utah
has kept absolutely good faith with
the nation in respect of the agreement
which it made on being admitted to
statehood that polygamy or plural mar
riages should be forever prohibited,
No plural marriages are now con-
tracted there, and he expresses the
positive conviction that, of the polyg-
amous families that existed when the
agreement was made, there are not
over four hundred remaining. The
Senator says:
under pressure from within as well
as from without, the Mormon church,
in the year 1890, adopted a church
manifesto requiring a cessation of po-
lygamy, or the marrying of plural
wives which 1t had been practising IN
this nation against the national sentl-
ment. In 1896 Utah was admitted TO
statehood, one condition being that po-
lygamous or plural marriages should
be forever prohibited. This condition
was complied with in the State Con-
stitution, which applies a penalty OF
five years Imprisonment and five hun
bred dollars fine for each case of po-
lygamy.
'In the recent Investigation by the
United States Senate, in what is known
as the Reed Smoot case, it was proved
c%onclusively that since the manifesto
of 1890 there had not been celebrated
in Utah-or elsewhere throughout the
United States. for that matter-a soli-
tary polygamous marriage by or with
the consent, connivancc. countenanee,
sanction or approval Of the Mormon
church.
