AN ATTEMPTED JUDICIAL ASSASSINATION.

The attempted murder of County Judge Gibbs, of
the Bronx and the city marshal by bombs yesterday
for the and sentencing of nine Italian white
savers was a crime to startle the country.
The white SLAYER is the detestable of all the
criminals that infest American civilization, and it is
we'll known that white slavery is an established sys-
tenn in which hundreds of Indicators engaged.
The government and the State criminal authorities
are trying break up this nefarous system which is
conducted mostly by aliens.
But the crime of attempted assassination of the
Judge who sentenced convicted white slavers is an
greater ofense 1t strikes at the temple of jus
tice. When judge cannot sentence atrocious Grim
inas without mourning the peril of assassination the
administration of criminal justice in this country is
safe for the officers of law in Sicily or Al
bania In this case all the machinery of the police
should used hunt down the wretches who planted
those murderous bombs.

There is hope of better things next year, as the

An Awkward Question

While the war has laid heavy bur
dens and responsibilities on the
shoulders OF most of Britain's pupnc
men, there is at least one to whom
the war has granted a respite from
work that must otherwise very soon
have resulted in a complete break
down. That man Is Sir Edward Car
son, who was recently married down
in Somersetshire.
There are many good stories told Of
Sir Edwards wit in various courts OF
law, but perhaps the best has TO DO
with a witness he was once cross-ex-
aiming. whose personal records
showed him to be an ardent disciple
of the bottle.
"They say, Mr.. Witness" remarked
Sir Edward. that you are a very
herd dr'nker. Is that so?"
That's my business!" retorted the
withess very indignantly
ANY other?" asked Sir Edward.
and the whole court enjoyed the joke.

Another Gar takes council grave
With Ministers in gray.
In leash he holds his cha6ng hounds
All eager for the fray;
Yet nearer, ever nearer
Comes the day
When, from their icy barracks loose
The north wind boreal bands,
Sent forward TO the combat line,
Will sweep DER Europe's lands
To strike mans warning hosts
With icy hands.
They'll war on Slav and Teuton,
On Briton and on Gaul,
And spread a shroud Ger quick and deaa
And shril their bugles' call
As fore their icy musketry
The thousands fall.

Across wars frozen zone,
The Arctic's song, triumphantly,
Will drown deaths piteous moan,
And, at the north, Gar Boreas
