put the Supreme Court in the Black
Maria, and hale it to Jail, they might
pay a little more attention to what
has happened in the Crippen case.
They might be demanding to know,
and they might keep on demanding
until they found out, why it is that
the courts in this country cannot ad-
minister justice in the businesslike way
it is done in Englandi Why judges
and lawyers make a travesty Of a
trial and Why legal technicalities are
permitted so often TO obtain the es-
cape of a rascal?
If it is found that the people are
not indignant when somebody says
there is something wrong with the pro-
cedure of our courts, the reason is not
far to seek. 1t is because the people
have seen justice miscarry so often.
They have seen the courts dillydally
and lawyers, with big fees in their
pockets, using all their talents to get
some rich lawbreaker off or to free
some guilty man.
They may not approve Colonel
Roosevelt's attacks upon some Judge,
but they know mighty well that there
is something wrong with the American
courts. If there were not, Mr. Roose-
welt OF any other man might talk in
vain without arousing apprehension.
More significant than Mr.. Roosevelt's
is the comment made by
the entire press of the
United States upon the Crippen case
its demand to know why similar ex-
petition, similar fairness, exercise of
the same common sense cannot mark
our own criminal procedure If atten-
ton were not so centered on the cleo
ton, lawyers whose ears are inclined
to tingle every time fault is found with
the courts would likely hear some
things that would make them bum.

PARENTS CAN HELP THE
SCHOOL TEACHERS.

If the parents of Washington do
their part, the plan Of the director of
primary education, contemplating the
participation of fathers and mothers in
school affairs, viii be of enormous
benefit to the children of this city.
Miss NJ. f. Brown, the director, out
lines the plan as follows:
We intend 70 invite parents TO attend
school this year several times so that
they may see just what their children
are doing No special program will be
arranged. Parents will be given
demonstration Of the daily routine Of
classroom work
Too many parents put their children
in school and expect the teachers to do
the rest Too few parents know, from
personal observation, how their chill
dren spend their time in school, what
they study, how they recite, what
hours they devote to this or that
branch of learning In fact, too few
know whether their children learn any
thing.
The progress of the child whose
parents manifest a direct, personal in
terest in its school work and in its
school problems, joys, and sorrows, is
in marked contrast to the progress of
the child who is sent to school and left
to its own devices, and whose school
life is a thing in which its parents
have no part.
The child is entitled to the sympathy,
interest, and support of its parents.
The director o. education is Offering
parents an opportunity to show that
and interest and to give
that support. The. should be quick
to take advantage of it.

In the Mail Bag
Profanity.

To ths Editor Of The Washington Times. '
Owing to the extensive use Of profane
and blasphemous language having be-
come SO common seemingly amongst
people in all walks of life, many peo-
pie have been trying 70 solve the prob
lem why this should be in our advanced
stage Of civilization. Some time ago 1
noticed an explanation coming from
Prof Thomas r. Lounsburg, which IS as
follows;
Profanity IS brain test, the habit
is, in consequence subject 10 the gen
eral laws governing intensitiveness. To
a very great extent the practice Of
swearing is specially characteristic of a
rude and imperfect civilization With
the advance culture profanity declines.
II declines not so much because men be-
come peculiarly sensitive 10 its vicious
ness, but they do TO its inenectiveness
The growth Of refinement both in the
individual ana in the community. Much
must always be allowed in the case u
particular persons for the influence Of
early training and association. Excep-
tons are, therefore, too numerous 10
lay down any positive rule: still, It is
safe to say in general that a mans in
tellectual development is largely deter
mined by the extent OF his indulgence
in profanity"
I fully endorse the professors re-
marks as 10 profanity being a brain
test, and that it can show but a mental
weakness amongst those who allow
themselves 10 fall into the habit. What
is needed to rid the country OF pro-
fame language is TO start in our schools
and colleges an education OF clean
speech, and respect for reverence which
is fast being driven out by blasphemous
and filthy tongues, and TO assist this
the laws OF the land that exist through
out the country, and which were made
TO protect us against blasphemy and
other forms Of low language, should be
vigorously enforced.

the election viii be determined by the
size of the Dix vote in New York. If
Stimson comes anywhere near hold
ing the normal Republican vote up
State, and if he keeps the Dix plurality
in Greater New York down to 100000,
he has a chance of being elected. The
Democrats are counting on their
strength in the city and on Republican
detection upstate.
The opinion of politicians and bust
ness men in Greater New York is re-
vealed by the betting odds, which
favor Dix. Certainly the chance OF
success favors him at this time, but
the situation, from this distance, does
not look like one in which a Demo
cratic victory is a foregone conclusion.

PENNSYLVANIA OVERLOOKED
IN EXCITEMENT.

Pennsylvania has been almost over
looked in the general excitement. 1t
should not be thus neglected. 1t is
experiencing about as pretty a little
internecine political war as its near
neighbors, New York, New Jersey. and
Ohio.
Republicans and Democrats nomi-
mated State tickets, as usual, in
Pennsylvania this year. That "as
usual" is used advisedly, too, for this
year, as in other years, the same.
powerful, financial interests dictated
the selection of gubernatoriaI candi-
dates in both party conventions.
As usual, however, the people di,
not content themselves with mere YER
bal protestation, to be followed bv
an avalanche of Republican ballots.
They insurged. As a result, there are
three tickets in the keystone State
this fall-Republican, Democratic, and
Independent
This probably wouldn't have bother
ed the Pennsylvania fnancial-political
combination seriously if the indepen-
dents had not started a series of at
taeks on John X. Tener. the Repub
hcan candidate for governor, on the
ground that he had been president of
and had loaned his name and influence
TO get-rich-quick corporation that
dealt principally in watered stocks.
The fight on Tener has become so
serious that the Republican organiza-
ton has been forced to defend itself.
One of the dramatic features of the
campaign has been the arrest for
criminal libel of the editor who pub
lished the Tener charges.
The situation is complicated by an
other dramatic incident, offered by the
State Federation of Labor, which has
called a strike of all organized workmen
for election day, at which time all
union men are commanded to quit
work and 60 to the polls and vote for
candidates known 70 be friendly to
union labor
There is reason to hope good may
be evolved from the Pennsylvania
struggle. Financial and political in
terests have such a tight hold on the
State, however, that no great strides
toward political freedom and decent
government may be anticipated.

NEW YORK RESULT DEPENDS
ON THE CITY.

With the election less than a week
away, it is evident that the result in
New York State depends largely upon
the vote of Greater New York. For
years the Republicans have reckoned
that they must come down to the
Bronz with a plurality of at least
100000 in order to overcome the nor
nal Democratic plurality in the
metropolis. This year seems to be no
exception.
There has been considerable talk
about Republican detection upstate,
but whether this is really justified is
not certain by any means. Upstate
Republicans have always stood by
Colonel Roosevelt, and they have no
love for Tammany. 1t will not be sur
prising if they give the Republican
ticket their usual support, although
the general dissatisfaction with Re
publican rule in the nation NAV find
reflection in reduced upstate Re
publican vote.
The past few days have demonstrat-
ed that the usual Tammany plurality
in Greater New York is not certain to
be recorded. The enthusiasm with which
large crowds have received Colonel
Roosevelt in his New York city speak
ing tour has encouraged the Stimson
campaign managers, who believe that
the Democratic margin in the city viii
not be as great as was anticipated a
month ago.
In large measure, it appears that

Great Falls was suggested as an ideal
location for such an Institution, owing

amount OF natural power to be had
there In speaking Of selecting sites for
schools, the speaker pointed out that
the essential feature to be considered
was, Gould a playground be attached

easiest obtained.
A number Of business matters were
also attended 20 at the meeting Of the
