PUNISHMENT TO FIT THE CRIME

1t is fortunate for the public that New Jersey
law gives option of fine in the of a person
who drives an automobile while drunk. Conviction
means a term in prison The judge who considers
public safety will make the term long one and
this is what Judge Gnchte did in Trenton when he
sent a motorst to the workhouse for one year for
operating his car while intoxicated. The judge put
it mildly when he told this he was a public
nuisance. He might have said deadly public men
ace. The combination of a motorcar and drunken
driver has been responsible for many tragedies of the
highways.

Sounds Familiar

1t seems that men talk just as
women do when they are deprived of
the right to vote. During the prepa-
rations for the visit to Newark OF
Count Karoly, the Hungarian pa
triot, stephen Uglay, Hungarian of
Newark, explained in The Star the
aims of the Independent party in
Hungary:
The Independent party wants
equal suffrage We want every man
to have the right to say Just how he
shall be governed. Just as he has the
right to do In the United States. II
every man had the right to vote we
would be governing ourselves as you
do here"
This has very familiar sound. We
wonder If Mr.. Uglay would allow the
suffragists of New Jersey a hearing
before the Hungarian societies.

LABOR NOTES

1t Is claimed that about $500 silk
workers in New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Mary
land and South Carolina are mem
bers of the National Industrial
Union.
The annual conference of postoffice
telegraph and telephone mechanicians
at Cardiff, in Great Britain, rejected
the proposal that all existing organi-
cations of postal workers should
amalgamate.
Vigorous protests of trade unionists
in Winnipeg. Canada, against reduc-
ing the wages of civic laborers has
brought results, and now it is an
nounced that the rate will remain at
twenty-five cents an hour
While 80 per cent. of the males in
the United States of sixteen years
and over are wage-earners, only
twenty per cent. of the females of
sixteen years and over are engaged
in any kind of gainful occupation.
In Copenhagen a Domestic Serv-
ants Union has been formed with
this brief program: Improvement of
the wages OF servants, HXlnR regular
hours of work and raising the status
of domestic service.
During the past year members o

A TEST FOR THE SEVEN SISTERS"

The cheap prices for gasoline in Hudson county

motorists are explained in proceedings begun at Tren-

suggest that the court reporter be
abolished, but he urges that the alb
stract of record be cut down by four
fifths and that lawyers should reform
their habits in respect to assignment
of errors"
In all this there is much truth.
Mechanical facilities are temptation
that must be constantly resisted
Shorthand, the typewriter, the type
setting machine, the fast press and
cheap paper have put a premium on
prolixity, while intelligent selection
and condensation are as difficult and
laborious as they ever were. The
reform suggested is not needed In
the court room alone; the annual
waste in wordy public documents is
enormous, 1t is time to try to make
the blue pencil keep pace with the

From the New York Times
Sheffield University has decided
that a knowledge of Latin is un-
necessary for doctors and will no
longer insist on II as a compulsory
subject for students working for it's
medical degree.
H. A. L. Fisher, the vice-chancel-
lor, said the ordinance would have
the effect of laying more stress upon
medicine and surgery, the main sub
jects for medical degree.
r. J. Pipe-Smith said that although
boys who came to the university from
the classical side of schools might
pass very well in Latin. they had, as
general rule, no knowledge OF
science and thus did not get on so
well or make as good doctors as boys
from the modern side.
DIR. Hall referred to the argument
that medical men had to make out
their prescriptions in Latin He said
he did not know what language pre-
scriptions were written in, but It was
certainly not Latin.

And that time is passing lightly,
And I've no desire to roam

Where the hillsides green are sloping
And the little ones can play.

Gently kiss them as they run,
And I'm telling her it pleases
Me to think of all their fun.
And write that I'm not lonely,
But it's all fearful sham
For they'd come back if they only
Knew how miserable am.

And miss their shouts of glee
And the empty home depresses
Now the very soul of me.

Congressman Returns Four Days Pay
Because He Was Absent.

/ bttuust Fds ADethAs
WASHINGTON, July s.-Believing
that he had received something to
which he was not entitled, Repre-
sentative Witherspoon, of Mississippi,
has turned back into the treasury de-
partment $500 That sum repre-
sented the amount of his salary for
four days during which he was away
from Washington recently on private
business. The fact that Mr.. Wither-
spoon had returned the money leaked
out today, despite his desire to keep
the matter a secret.
Somewhere in the statute books
there is law which says member
of Congress shall not draw pay for
the days he is absent and not at
tending to his public duties. The
law, however. has generally been re-
garded as a dead letter. But not so
with Mr.. Witherspoon. He voluntarily
surrendered his four days pay and as
a result the government is just that
much richer.
