Publicity the Penalty for Wrongdoing.

We appreciate the sentiment and
morale which prompted the New York
justice TO rule that in divorce suits the
evidence should be private; but we be-
lieve that this ukase was of too sweep
ing nature, as publicity of the right
sort is invaluable, especially in court
proceedings. Publicity is a part of the
penalty for wrongdoing but courts can
and should do much to prevent the de-
velopment of an idle, possibly degrading
curiosity.
A coroner in Indiana did the proper
thing when he withheld from publicity
letters taken by him officially in con,
nection with suicides and a murder
Officially there had been full satisfac-
ton; publicly there was sufficient ex-
PLANTATION. Beyond that the coroner did
not feel called upon to 60. Therefore, he
declined to reveal the contents OF GER
tain letters, in which the curious had
only an idle interest
At the trial the other day, of young
woman, attended by somewhat unusual
circumstances, testimony could scarcely
be heard because of the cries of in
fants carried by their mothers to the
court room. That trial failed to bring
forth the ugly details upon which NOR
bid curiosity feeds, but the expecta-
ton of things to come had sent many
persons to the court room.
Public interest in death, crime, and
every form Of sensation is ever strong.
Let FIRE, food, or any other form of
disaster claim a few lives and the
morgue will be visited Dy thTongs that

Festival.

Independence Day in the Capital
again is to be celebrated in thorough
ly safe and sane fashion; but the fes-
Invites this time are to be conducted
along entirely new lines. They will
be directed by the Washington branch
of the Drama League of America, in
cooperation with the various civic
committees in preparing the show.
The same talented artist who de-
signed the suffrage pageant held here
March 3 (Mrs. Glenna Tinnin) is a
moving spirit in the Fourth OF July
demonstration. To begin with there is
10 be a great procession along the Mall
to the White House lot and the Monu-
ment The participants are to wear
costumes representing, in groups,
phases of American history from the
beginning of the European settlement
upon this continent up to the present
day.
A second section of the pageant will
be composed of children. representing
synbolically-three significant years of
our nations development, I776. 1872,
and 1860, also the present year, which
will include Boy Scouts, Camp Fire
Girls, baseball boys (of course), cow
boys, Indian boys and girls A third
section will be composed of boys and
girls of high school age, appropriately
dressed.
On its way westward the grand pro-
cession will pass the National Museum,
on the steps of which is to be per-
formed an allegory, composed for the
occasion. The climax of the days
programme will be reached on the
Monument grounds with the perform
ance of dramatic feature entitled

reception for the States, the Terri
tories. and the foreign nations. This
will be concluded with a general ma
tional festival dance.

have no business there. Such visits
unless for the purpose of identification,
often are prohibited, and this is as II
should be. There ought to be as strict
regulation of court proceedings as
is consistent with the publicity, which
is so essential an element in the Amer
lean system.
Opening wide the doors of our court
rooms to all morbidly curious does not
advance the cause of justice. Quite
the reverse; it tends to develop idle,
degrading, morbid curiosity.

STA SMEN-REAL AND. NEA r
By FRED c. KELLY

Senator Billy" Hughes of New Jersey
wore a pair of button shoes to the SEN
ate Chamber the other day. and after he
got comfortably seated his great toe be-
gan to itch. He earnestly desired 10
scratch the toe. For the moment II
seemed to him that he would rather for
sake all political honor and emoluments
than let that toe go uncaressed another
moment. So. unostentatiously, he removed
the shoe, toyed with the toe for mo-
rnent or two as IL II were a fox terrier
pup, and then all was well. He re-
placed his shoe. Then a new problem
confronted him. 1t was a button shoe,
and he had no button hook. He looked
about him trying to locate a Senator
who wore button shoes. and was reward
ed by finding that his own colleague.
James MARITIME. was wearing the but
toned kind.
Lend me your buttonhook," whispered
Hughes to MARITIME.
Sure" says MARITIME, and he reached
in his pocket.
Hughes looked at the article MARITIME
gave him. and handed 1t back.
You've made a slight error" said he;
what I want is buttonhook. This Is
no buttonhook."
so It isn't. said MARITIME. and he
looked at the little article critically.
1t was nothing but common cork
screw-of no use whatever in fastening
shoe.
John Sharp Williams recently wrote a
book. and nearly every time he devoted
a day to the book he broke a debating
record Several times he dictated con-
tinuously for eleven or twelve hours,
with the exception Of few minutes for
lunch. Once he dictated from in the
morning until . the following morning.
During that time he rested once for
twenty minutes. and another time for
half an hour Senator Williams method
of writing a book or a formal speech is
to dictate several times as much stuff as
he intends to use and then trim IL down.

postofice inspectors have begun an in
vestigation of the finding of hundreds
of dollars in gold certificates believed
to be a portion of 5000 stolen by Charles
Savage from a mail truck in the Union
Station in Kansas City five years ago.
developments show that persons have
been finding the certificates, mostly OF
the $50 denomination, for a month and
have kept the matter secret. 1t is esti-
mated that at least 1900 has been picked
up in cutters, vacant lots and back
yards.
All the money was discovered within
a radius of eight blocks of the home of
relative of Charles Savage at whose
house he stopped before his arrest.
One theory of the investigators is that
the money was concealed in tree and
dislodged by recent high winds.

McADO0's TARIFF OPINIONS.
Perry Belmont VIII Urge that Sec
Rotary He Called to Testify.

Perry Belmont has called the atten-
ton Of the leaders OF the Senate to a
law which. he says, gives Congress the
right to summon Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo before it and ask for a
statement as to his opinions of the eff
feet of the tariff law on the revenues Of
the country.
Mr.. Belmont points out that the act
of 1859 creating the Office of Secretary
of the Treasury provides that the Secre-
tary shall give information to the Sem
ate or House in writing or in person, as
either body may direct. Mr.. Belmont
will urge the Senate leaders to call Mr..
McAdoo before the Senate and ask for
the benefit of his opinion.

1.5oo-MILE CATTLE DRIVE.
Texas steers to BE Driven from San

San Antonio. Tex, May 25.-The most
spectacular cattle drive ever made Is
being planned by veteran cattiemen of
the Southwest as a feature Of the Panama
Exposition, to be held in San Francisco
in 1915.
One thousand hardy steers of the Texas
plains are to be herded in San Antonio
and will start from there in charge OF
veterans of the long trail, and be driven
1.Jo0 miles westward across the plains
and deserts and through mountain passes
to San Francisco in tiuae to arrive at
the fair soon after its opening.
1t has not been decided yet who will
be in charge of the drive, nor who will
accompany the herd of a thousand head
as drivers, cooks, and camp men, but in
vitations are now being sent out 10 the
wealthy cattle and ranch men of the
Southwest to furnish the cattle and the
men. old now, who were pioneer cowboys

Admiral Mahan's Warning.

The declaration of Admiral Mahan,
expressed in letter, that too much
dependence should not be placed upon
the poor financial condition of any
country as an influence for peace, is
applicable elsewhere just as much as
to Japan. In this era of materialistic
thinking some economists are apt to
talk as though nations struck trial bal
ances like ordinary individuals in order
to determine the greater advantages of
peace or war.
We need not go back to Our own
revolutionary forefathers to find in
difference to financial resources as
compared with national aspirations.
The Balkan states were told that the
great banking houses of the world
would shut down their money supplies
if they went to war with Turkey In
ternational financial houses laughed
outright at the idea of these little
states trying to ignore their ukase and
fight after such a solemn warning, but
fight they surely did, with an absolute
disregard of having to pay for posi-
bic victories with national bankruptcy.
When people have reached the fight
ing pitch it is advisable for economists
to take back seats for a while The
good sense and desire for fair dealing
of two governments at odds constitute
the right, the only practical guarantee
for the maintenance of friendly re-
lations. This is exactly the case of
the United States and Japan.
