JUSTICE AND MERCY.
lLafaYette Courier.)

The United States supreme court is
TO be called upon TO decide whether
federal judges may exercise the right
10 suspend sentences, a privilege en-
joyed by practically all the state and
municipal judges in the country. Re
Gently the attorney general instruct
ed district attorneys to protest
against judges of the United States
Courts continuing cases for sentence.
Little heed was paid to these pro-
tests and in the case of an Ohio
judge mandamus proceedings were in
stituted 10 compel him 10 pronounce
sentence Immediately. 1t has long
been the practice in federal courts
before which are brought law viola
tors TO defer the passing Of sentence
IN the case OF first offenders. There
is no authority Of law for the custom
but it was adopted as a humanitarian
method Of dealing with the Criminally
disposed and giving them an oppOr-
tunity TO reform their ways without
the stigma of a prison record. The
United states should not make GRIM
inals out of first offenders, many of
whom are ignorant of the existence Of
the law they violate, any more than
the city or state should In the dis
trict court Of Kansas during the past
Is years fully so youths have been

and he reports that not one Of them
has been guilty OF a criminal offense
since This reformation could not
have been accomplished in any
other way since boys sent 10 the peni-
Tertiary usually lose all hope OF re-
Mobilization. If the supreme court
decides that suspended sentences are
contrary TO the prevailing law con-
gress should make such a revision in
the code as Will permit the courts
to temper justice with mercy.

Sen QUESTION IN INDUSTRY.
Undianapolis Times.)

In an effort TO adjust a question of
wages in one of the trades, an arbitra-
ton committee now is investigating
conditions and interviewing wage
workers, both men and women. The
particular trade involved is one IN
which some 60 per cent of the en-
ployes are women and girls, all of a
high order of intelligence, all gain
ing efficiency through apprenticeship.
Men who have been getting S21 a
week were offered $22 a week by the
agreed employers, some 20 or more
firms. II was at this stage the women
and girls, or their friends, suggested
that the 1925 female worker. doing
the same work done by the 81 man,
ought to have a wage increase along
with the man It is the question OF
an increase for the women and girls
which must be arbitrated. The men
did not ask for a raise. but the en-
ployers offered them a dollar more on
the week than had been paid. The
women and girls did not ask for more
money until the offer had been made
of an increase TO the men.
One prominent employer has been
quoted as saying he would be willing
10 give the girls and women $500 a
week instead OF 1925 a week.
Interesting developments are look
ed for in connection with the adjust
ment of this particular wage question.
1t is understood the women and girls
and their friends viii stand out for
the general principle that there
should be no sex in wages, but that
where a woman performs the same
labor as the man the woman should
get the same pay as the man.
Those who have studied the sltua-
ton, coming in direct contact with
conditions, have been greatly inter-
ested, If not surprised, 10 ind that
the men who work in trades where
large numbers OF women are en-
ployed doing similar work with the
men, are singularly Indifferent when
il comes to the question of the wage
TO be paid the women and girls.
OFTEN it is found the women and girls
are strangely submissive 10 condi-
tons which put them on 1925 basis
while the man at the next table doing
the same work, gets S21 for that work.
II will be interesting 10 note what
progress. * any, is made on behalf
Of the idea that industry and wages
should ignore sex and stand absolutely
on service rendered.

BY way or reprisaI" the French

emies with burning liquids. Down
into the lowest depths of the pit the
battling hosts OF Europe go, step by

airy ard manhood. breaking through
the veneer OF ages of civilization and
uplift. they become as wild beasts OF
the jungle, manning and rending and
tearing one another. with whatever
weapon hellish igenuity may devise.
For it's a new game they play
"Reprisal"-and it's in high favor. as
witness the heaps Of unburied dead
marking where each move has been
made. When the first gun OF this
hideous war was fired, then dawned
the day Of reprisal. nor will it wane

WE,RE MITH THEM

We hear one war yell that appeals
10 our sympathy. because there's a
common brotherhood Of editors and
when editors shrek, you can bet that
human flesh is being crucified.
Newspaper publishers in Germany
have had 10 combine and send a pray
er up 10 headquarters for suppression
of duty on foreign print paper. They
declare that unless their prayer is
granted they'll soon have 10 suspend
publication Just think of having to
quit. with your country engaged in a
worlds war, It's about the limit Of
human agency. If our prayers still have
any efficacy, those German editors
are welcome 10 them.

then up into the Behring sea. The
trip lasts two months, and the court
hears all the cases that have accumu-
lated since the previous summer-fOr
the trip can only be made in summer
Naturally enough, court costs are
high. Witnesses have sometimes TO
make journeys of many hundreds of
miles and witness fees have run up
TO LOCO for a single witness at
times.
They do say, too, that the court gets
pretty seasick sometimes, for the cur
rents run strong between the islands
and the sea gets angry even in sum-
mer.
