MARTYRS OF THE BLUE LAWS.

eN HE incarceration in Jail of Upton Sinclair and his ten asso-
ciates of the Single Tax colony at Arden, Del, for playing
tennis and baseball on a Sunday, in violation OF the old blue
laws, ought to go a long ways towards the adjustment OF the
anachronism of these abominable old statutes that are now usually
invoked, as in this case, by spite and malice. The Puritan leayen
has died out in the cities, with their culture and modern ideas, but
it obstinately sticks in the small communities and among rural
populations. That it does not represent a higher moral sentiment
has been sufficiently proven, for in many of these communities the
crime of vote-selling is wellnigh universal. Rural Delaware has
been VIGOROUSLY corrupt politically, and it calmly sends eleven
highly.oultured men to Jail for innocent social recreation on a Sun
day. The martyrdom of these men will surely open the way for
the abolition of the blue laws in all the Statas.

TWO ARBITRATION TREATIES.

m DOUBLE event that will mean a distinct strengthening of
T\ the insurance against war, although it will still fall far
short of the dream of world peace, will take place tomor-
row in the White House at Washington, when arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France will be signed. Although a clash
between this republic and either of the two great European powers
named is as unlikely as anything mundane could be, these treaties
may render such a possibility a little more remote. The last thing
that England or France, or, in fact, any nation inc Europe, would
want to do would be to fight the United States, and such treaties
as are to be signed tomorrow have an interest chiefly academic.
If a similar agreement could be negotiated just now between any
two of our transatlantic neighbors it would be much more to the
purpose. And even then history tells us that the familiar piecrust
smile APPLIES to treaties as we'll as to other kinds of promises.

NEW MEDICAL PLAN FOR
CINCINNATI UNIVERSITY.

Approaching that there has arisen
a feeling that medical teaching Is far
from perfect, and that the attention of
students has been too completely d.
rected to diagnosis and treatment and
not enough to prevention, the Univer-
sity Of Cincinnati has adopted the co..
operative system of instruction in its
college of medicine.
The first two years of the curriculum
are to remain unchanged, but during
the last two years the student will
divide his time equally between active
service in the city board of, heath and
the regular studies of the college. In
the former capacity 8le'wiikd chemical
and psychological work, sanitary in
spectfon and Immigration, will trace the
sources Of Injections. make food, dairy,
bakery and school inspections. practise
preventive incubation and vaccination
and serve in the municipal dispensaries.

Urges Summertime Court.

OEKtB III -
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
l think that there ought to be some
provision made to keep our upper civil
and criminal courts running during
the summer as they do in New York
State. There is entirely too much time
wasted between the last days in June
and the third Tuesday in September.
when these courts, generally speaking,
are closed. I understand, of course,
that the Court of Special Sessions keeps
on running spasmodically, but the kind
of cases that I refer to particularly
are those covered by jurles. In other
words, If a man wants a trial by jury,
which 1t is his inalienable right to
have, and he happens to have gotten
into the laws clutches late in June, he
must wait until-after the middle of
September before he a get his rights.

ouHERED BY DEMOCRATIC SENATORS.

MNNE Democratic vote only was needed to pass the farmers free
w list bill as it came from the House. Two Democratic votes
were lacking. Senator Bailey, of Texas, whose course in
the Senate has been peculiar, opposed the bill. Senatorelect Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, holding on to the Georgia governorship, had not
oualifed and was not present. Between the two Southern senator's
a great opportunity was sacrificed. The bill passed by the Senate
is an unsatisfactory compromise. But why should there be any
compromise at all and why exclude the two great necessaries OF
life, meats and -four, from the free list, unless with the purpose
of aggrandizing the meat and flour trusts, which have their repre-
sentatiyes in the corridors of the capitol? But this is only a
temporary reverse for the people. Meat and flour will surely go on
Sha fpes list.
