fairs. ceiiainiy the great msjority Of
House members may be depended upon
to think straight and vote without
prejudice; the great danger lies in
the facf that they have been misled by
designing and ruthless enemies of the
District. The only hope of the people
of Washington is to show them the
truth.
The people of Brightwood have be-
gun a campaign of direct appeal to
members of Congress against the Bor-
land amendment. which means nothing
short OF oppression, as any member
can discover for himself by devoting
ten minutes to study Of the subject.
It is earnestly to be hoped that the
Brightwood campaign is the forerun-
+ncr of general rising IN protest by
the entire population of Washington
against making them the victims of a

Cruelty Under the Law.

That provision oil the JoneS-WQrks
excise law which requires that persons
drunk on streets and in other public
places shall be Ntreated like criminals
was very tragically proved Wednesday
to possess a power of useless cruelty
which The Washington Herald long
ago declared no law ought to have. A
youth-he was hardly more than that,
his years being twenty-two-hanged
himself in the cell where he had been
kept overnight on a charge of drunk
enness. Unlike the innocent man who
recently hanged himself to death in a
cell, this young man was discovered
and freed from the moose before his
life was quite gone; but the, lesson car
ried by the incident is not less forccful
for that reason.
The useless cruelty of this provision,
as The Washington Herald showed,
may be traced to its paradox. The
Jones-Works law was framed as the
last word of modern treatment of the
drink evil Where it seemed to i'm
pinge upon the common sense, that is
the unwritten organic law or constitu-
ton upon which all statutes should be
founded, science was rushed to the
fore to support the assailed weakness.
Yet that very science, mans accumu-
lated wisdom that has lighted up so
many dark and hidden recesses of dis
ease and sin, has laid down and very
nearly proved beyond a peradventure
that drunkenness is a disease, not a
crime, fault of the body, not of the
soul, a physical effectiveness, not a
moral delinquency. So science is made
to lay upon the sick a penalty contrived
for the punishment of the vicious.
Drunkenness cannot be cured by hu-
initiating its victims. The endeavor OF
that miserable youth who was shamed
to the portals of death is but an out
ward sign and symbol of the wretched-
ness that this provision causes every
day and every night. Not all of the
victims hang themselves. Most Of
them just go and get drunk again
dead drunk is not an idle, empty
phrase. But the shame is there, and
the wrong is there, and the useless
cruelty. The Jones-Works law is a
good law in many respects. 1t is do
ing much good to the people of the
Capital. But that provision which
places drunken persons in the class Of
criminals ought 10 be repealed as swift
ly as Congress can act

Judicial robes must be spotless. Sus-

wise our institutions, the republic it.
self, would fall in ruins
Accusations have been made to the
President of the United States and
published to the world that Justice
Daniel Thew Wright of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, has
been guilty of conduct, as judge and as
citizen, which renders him unfit for the
high, honorable, and responsible posi-
tion which he occupies. Such charges
having been publicly proclaimed Judge
Wright can hardly be expected to sit
in judgment on case at law until they
have been disproven. Whatever pro-
cedure may be proper to ascertain the
truth or faisity of the charges will
doubtless be instituted Immediately.
Justice Wright's accuser is Wade II.
Cooper who, in his letter to President
Wilson, describes himself as president
of the Union Savings Bank and the
United States Savings Bank. So far
as they have been made known the
charges are general rather than spe-
cific and lacking in that eircumstantiai
detail which sometimes contributes to-
ward proof, all of which, OF course,
may be developed later. The most di-
rect and most serious charges are that
Judge Wright has placed himself under
obligation to attorneys practicing in his
court and has granted them improper
favors and consideration in return. The
condemnation of his course in the la
Dor leaders contempt of court case is
vague and seemingly irrelevant. Mr..
Cooper also accuses Judge Wright of
accepting legal fee of $500 from the
United States Savings Bank, of which
Mr.. Cooper is president, in violation
of the law, and the natural inference
is that this charge, at least, is easily
susceptible of proof or disproof.
