Brandeis' Crime
LACKS JUDICIAL PoIsEr
KNOWS LA5oR's STRUGGLES

From Geo p. West COMMITTEE on
Industrial Relations.)
The most interesting thing about
the storm of opposition to Louis d.
Brandeis' appointment to the supreme
court is the way it has shown I'D
mat august body as the guardian and
protector of Privilege and Established
Order.
President Wilson could have ap-
pointed Brandeis to any other position
in the government without throwing
Wall Street into spasms. AS it is.
we are frankly told that the supreme
court Is the bulwark of property.
Hands Oft" say the sons of priv.
lege, The supreme court is our prop
erty. SO long as you don't touch the
supreme court, shout all you pleace
about justice and industrial democ-
racy and equality of opportunity. We
don't mind If you even elect a gov.
ernor or a legislature now and then
with the supreme court on duty. they
cant do much. But if you put man
like Brandeis on the supreme court,
what assurance have we that our
sons and daughters may not some
day have to work for living?"
Here are three very Illuminating
quotations. The first two are from
the speeches and writings of Louis
d. Brandeis and the third is from the
Wall Street news of the New York
Times.

MURDER RATE
IN THE U. 5.

According to F. L Hoffman of
New DIRK, the annual murder rate
IN the United States has now
climbed to an average of SO per-
sons out OF every 10000 OF pop
ulatlon, that is to say ABOUT 5000
residents OF the country are muir
dered each year.
Mr.. hoffman bases his estimate
on the murder rates of thirty
cities having in 1914 total pop
lation of I7,4I6,o4o. New York
city as whole is omitted from the
table he supplies. The highest
murder rate tor any year was that
OF 1913, when 81 persons were
killed out of every 100000 popula-
ton.
Memphis, Tenn, leads all the
other cities in violent deaths.
There the murders in 1914
amounted to 72.2 persons out of
every 100000 population. Char
lesion, 5. G., is second with only
1873 persons out of every 100000.
Most OF the southA.n cities
stand well at the top of the list.
After the two cities named come
Savannah with ten-year average
OF 28.4, next is Atlanta with 26,
New Orleans 2s.3, Nashville,
24.3; 100, and St. Louis 1919.
Then San Francisco with lib,
Cincinnati, II; Seattle, 81; Spo-
kane 7.8, and Washington rs.
Manhattan and the Bronx to-
gether are sixteenth in the list of
80 cities. The rate here is 6.I.
Chicago had in ten years 1855
murderers, the average murder
rate there being 90 persons.
fin Philadelphia the rate was
AZ and in Boston 4.8. The low
est rate in the cities is that OF
Milwaukee, which average I'd
for the ten year period, although
its rate was 81 in 1914.
The largest percentage of those
killed were shot, coo per cent
of the total having died from
firearms and 1871 per cent having
been killed by cutting or pierre
ing instruments.-Ex.

MAIL
ROUTES

The work of mapping and plan
ming two aeroplane mail routes,
of sixty miles each, has just been
computed for the postoffice de-
oartment by Albert Bond Lam
bert, of St. Louis, governor of the
Aero Club of America. Says the
Aerial Age Weekly, New York,
November 20:
Zone of these routes lies wholly
in Missouri and part of Illinois.
The interstate route will start at
Peruque, Mo, cross the Miss;s-
sippi river to Golden Eagle and
BRUSSELS, ILL.,, detour westward
to Beechville on the Illinois shore,
and thence back to Peruque. The
Missouri route will cross a coun-
'ry without railways X The
establishment of aerial routes is
designed for the double purpose
of giving efficient mail service in
districts where natural barriers
isolate communities that by air
lines a,e located in closep roximi-
ty to one another. and CT keeping
in the service of the government
a body of experienced and equip
ped aviators ready for service
without any sort of plan delay. In
this way 200 or 800 aviators can
De held in reserve, the plan being
to have these aerial mail carriers
enlisted in the Aviation Reserve
Corps"

MACMILLAN HARDEN
HUSTLED UP BY KAISER

Macmillan Harden, the brilliant
German journalist, has been pro-
hibited by the German govern
ment, from public speaking or
writing, for the remainder Of the
war, furthermore, his weekly
magazine, Zukunft, has been sup
pressed. This is considered one of
the drastic acts of censorship Of
the war. Harden has been in
difficulty with the censor several
times, for criticizing food regula-
tons and other acts of the gov
eminent.
He is one of the best known
men in the kaiser's empire, and
was a close friend of Bismarck.
He 6rst+acquiseds fame, yeasssago.

by fearlessly publishing a series
of articles charging unspeakable
conditions of immortality among
the members of the German
court. Harden was sued at that
time, for libel, but was acquitted
AS a result of the articles, kaiser
made wholesale dismissal of
counts and princes of the. motor

What the USE" To them all
things, good or bad, are one. 1t
matters not to them whether the
world goes Forward or backward.
They do not care whether things
are right or wrong-at least not
10 the extent of making an effort
to preserve them if right or alter
them if wrong. What's the, use. "
It doesn't matter to them how
things go as long as they are left
alone. STEPPED in hopelessness !;
sodden with apathy, they are con-
tent to let the years go by and
lift no hand to help either them
selves or others. Whats the
use" We do not know whether
they should be blamed or pitied.
Perhaps they have achieved some
philosophical height whose tow
ering eminences we cannot scan.
Non resistance MAJ be the most
sublime doctrines of all, did we
but appreciate its virtues and
abide in it teachings. Who can
say?
At any rate Nome is unfortun-
ate in having such large per-
centage of them in her popula-
ton, The what's the use crowd
have been the saddest burden that
Nome has been compelled to stag
ger under since the early riches
of the field fields dwindled and
changed conditions demanded
greater energy and industry
Hopeless of the future themselves
ana skeptical of the faith of others
they have lifted no hand to adj
vance their own well being or to
assist others to do it for them.
Like the little old man of Sinbad's
tale they have proven a heavy
load for those whose faith was
whole and whose energy was
ready. What's the use" has been
and is today the weight that is
dragging us slowly down to la
nentable oblivion.

Remarkable Piece of Work in
Reorganization Accomplished
Since October, 1914.
TRIBUTE TO ZEAL OF king
Belgian Army More Numerous and
Better Equipped Than 1t Was at
Outbreak Of the War-Diffi-
culties Surmounted.

Paris.-It is hard indeed to recog-
nize in the well-eQuipped and trained
Belgian army of today the disheveled,
war-weary troops who, at the end Of a
painful retreat and lacking almost
every military necessity but courage,
turned desperately to bay and helped
to make history at the battle of the
User.
The reorganization accomplished
since October, 1914, is a remarkable
testimony to the energy inspired by
the example of King Albert and the
zeal with which, often in very difficult
circumstances, his officers have full
filled their task.
The result of their efforts is that
M. de Broqueville was able to declare
recently that the Belgian army is more
numerous and better equipped today
than it was at the outbreak of war.
Start at the Beginning.
When, in October, 1914, Antwerp
was evacuated, the Belgian recruits
who had joined and, being still without
arms or equipment, had been employed
in digging trenches round the city
were sent back to the neighborhood of
FurneS.
Driven thence by the approach OF
the Germans, they retired, under the
command of Lieutenant General de
Sellers de Moranville, to Dunkirk
Hence, in the face of innumerable diff
ficulties, of which not the least was the
lack of shipping, they were conveyed
to Normandy where the whole work OF
preparing them for the front had to be

WILLS HIS ESTATE TO CITY
Pioneer Resident Leaves $4,000 to
Sacramento to Reduce the
Tax Rate.

Sacramento, Cal.-According to the
terms of the will of the late Philip
Miller, who died recently, the city of
Sacramento will secure more than
$4,000 to decrease the taxes. The
estate is valued at $4,000. The will
says:
'.rhe residue Of the estate shall be
paid into the general fund of the city
of Sacramento, and shall not be made
use Of for any specific purpose, but
shall be simply so used that it will
to some extent decrease the taxes
which the people would otherwise be
compelled to pay"
There are several other beneficiaries
under the will. Miller, who was un-
married, was a pioneer resident Of the
city.

Hen hatches Woodpecker.

fredericksburg, Ind.-It is unusual for
hen to hatch out a woodpecker, but
an instance is reported by Ira Cordrey,
farmer living near here. The hen
had been missing for some time. When
found she was mothering eleven baby
chicks and one tiny woodpecker, which
appeared perfectly happy to let the
hen scratch worms for it, and the hen
is paying just as much attention to
the little woodpecker as it is to her
brood of chicks. The woodpecker's ap-
pearance is explained on the supposi
ton that a woodpecker laid the egg in
the hens nest while the hen was off
looking for food.

Suddenly breaking off his reverie,
he turned to the first sergeant
"Send man to the nearest tele'

a message for headquarters"
Within a few minutes the man was
rapidly trotting off on his twenty-mile
errand. Kynaston spent the next two
hours in chat wikb the old priest, who
was golden talker. So the moments
passed quickly till the rapid drumming
Of boots on the trail told of the return
of the messenger.
He handed Kynaston letter.
Il got the adjutant general him
self, sir, and he answered right away. y
Kynaston tore open the envelope
and read:

will come tomorrow.

THANK goodness, that will take the
responsibility off my shoulders" he
commented as he swung couple OF
the heavy Navajo blankets over the
extra cot to make resting place for
the old priest, who sank heavily to
rest.

undertaken from the beginning. The
men had to be lodged, clothed, armed
and equipped far from their own in
vaded country.
The French government rose to the
occasion. An extensive camp and a
number of large buildings in various
parts of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS con-
vents and unemployed factOries-were
put at the disposal of the Belgians.
Clothing was hard to find, and here
again, for part Of it, recourse was had
to the French, although they them
selves had barely enough for their own
needs. A clothing depot was formed
at Rouen, which obtained cloth from
Elbeuf. Factories which had been
closed for want of labor were reopened
for the manufacture Of equipment.
Hospital Centers Created.
Similarly at Rouen, and this time
with the assistance Of the British Red
Cross, a hospital center was created,
including large portable hospital,
situated above the town in a particu-
larly healthy position, a section for
mechanical treatment and q section for
the manufacture of artificial limbs. An
other hospital center, equally well
equipped, was founded in the district
Of Rennes. Attached to these hospital
organizations are convalescent homes.
From the purely military point OF
view, the arrangements made by the
general inspection Of the Belgian army
are wonderfully complete. There are
centers for infantry training, an artil
lery school and depot, a machine-gur
school, bombing school and school
at which men coming from the conva
lescent homes are taught by "old sol
diers" the latest "tricks of the trade
before returning to the trenches.
Recruiting Offices have been started
in all French towns where assemblages
of Belgian refugees are to be found, as
also military establishments at all
places through which the troops pass.
Most important of all, a school
known as the "Centre d. Instruction des
Sous-lieutenants auxiliaires instruc
teurs," has been opened, at which 6
great number Of picked nOncOmmis
stoned officers and soldiers are taught
the command of platOons, thus insur
ing a steady supply of well-trained Of
