Gardiner's Statement.

Commissioner Gardeners statement
brings out the only objection many
members have voiced to the grant Of
suffrage right to people Of the Dis
trict
1t Is unfortunate that the question
could not be debated without bring
ing in this factor. Now that 1t has
arisen, however. 1t must be met. But
in spite of the fact that 1t will alien
ate a considerable portion Of the vote
of both House and Senate from the
suffrage measure, 1t is the calm con-
viction of many prominent members
Of Congress that suffrage here would
not develop some of the things Mr..
Gardiner fears it will.
There are some of the friends of
suffrage who are willing to give up
the fight now. This Should not be.
The effort is worthy one. 1t involves
some of the principles for which
America is just now contending in the
world war, and obviously their recog-
milton just now could be better ac-
complished in this direction than at
any time In the past.
There Is one answer, and only one,
to Mr.. Gardeners statement about
control of the District. If the peo-
pie who vote here, and whose Interest
in keeping politics pure and undefiled
should be most intense, want to con-
troll the District they can do so. II
they want to let their control slip
away from them, however, because of
political Vaccinations and petty deal
ing, they can do that, too. 1t is up
to the electorate to decide in which
direction it shall go. If given the vote.
1t is worth a trial. 1t is worth a
trial, If for nothing more than to
demonstrate that men and women
who are perfectly capable of govern
ing themselves will do so, and do so
in such a manner that they reflect
credit upon themselves and upon
those who had faith enough in them
to give them the right.
All AbOard-the G. o. Train.
Friends of government ownership
the country over are confident that
virtual government ownership of the
railroads, in the steps that are soon
to be taken, will demonstrate the
feasibility of their long-advocated
plans.
Opponents of this legislation, how
ever, are equally confident that the
country will get dose of govern
mental operation which will not ac-
complish any startling ends, and thac
the crusade for government owner
ship will suffer appreciably through
this failure.
Both. we are ready to say now, are
wrong. Several members of Congress
rather unsettled either for or against
government ownership-think so, too.
The truth is, while there may be
some reverses. the government con-
troll will show some results > that
could not have been brought about
any other way.
And conversely, government owner
ship, likewise, will show that there
are drawbacks to the scheme. Per-
haps, in fact, the experience we are
about to undergo will make us more
tolerant Of our public utilities, and
yet will point us to a course by which

JAPANESE PRAISE FOR ROOT
Or. lyenasa Says His Services Are
Needed by Russia.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Dr. T. Iye-
nagA, unofficial spokesman of the
Japanese government in America, in
an address before the Jovian League
of New York, at Stewards restaurant
yesterday, praised the selection OF
Elihu Root as head of the American
commission to Russia. DIR. Iyenaga
said that conditions in Russia were
not reassuring for the allies, and that
a speedy ending OF the war would
depend largely upon the steps taken
TO put Russia on her feet again and
prevent a separate peace with Ger
many.
1T would be unchivalrous to Rus
sia, our ally, TO say anything at this
time OF discouraging nature" said
DR.. lyensga. But, confidentialIy, |
believe the situation is far from re.
assuring, and 1t needs the most tact
full handing that can be gained by
sending an American commission
headed by a statesman of such tried
ability as Elihu Root"
DR.. Iyenaga reiterated that unless
the United States abolished all meas
ures discriminating against the jap
anese, he saw little hope OF a durable
peace between the two nations.

LONDON AMERICANS ENROLL

continue to write TO the embassy ask
ing to be transferred to regiments

Until Washington has decided that II

make a formal request to the British
war office for the release of these

any serious obstacles would be placed

URGES HOSPITAL FOR
ALL CRIMINALS IN U. 5.
Psychopathic Laboratory Alone
Can Cause Decrease in Evil.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May a.
Urging the establishment of a psyche
pathic laboratory and hospital as the
only means OF scientifically attacking
the crime problem, DR.. William A.
Healy, the leading authority on juve-
nile delinquency in the United States,
addressed a public meeting recently in
Chabot Hall
DR.. Healy said:
To-day the most glaring expendi-
ture of public money without regard
to efficiency or the results achieved
Is the sum OF two to four million dol
lars that is being spent every day in
the United States for the correction
md elimination of crime-and crime
IS steadily on the increase. The un-
ousinessllke methods which charac-
terize our handling of criminals is not
lue to the fault of individuals, but
20 the system, or rather lack Of sys-
tenn.
Our courts consider all criminals
llike, failing to grasp the fact that
each case is that of an individual and
should be given Individual considera-
ton. The courts are not discriminat-
ing enough about the human material
which they handle.
The reason why we are particu-
larly interested in Juvenile cases is
that the vast majority of criminal
adults show their criminal tendencies
early in life. Ninety per cent begin
their criminal careers as children.
Therefore the greatest amount of
good can be done IL the cases are
taken early.
"The first work in the scientific
study OF Juvenile delinquents was
done in Chicago about eight years
ago. The court situation there was
such that no good was being accom-
plished and the seeking for better
methods was the result at an attempt
to introduce businesslike methods in
court work. The whole attitude on
the part OF those interested has been
that of helping the Judge to make the
wisest decision in each individual
case"

FINDS NO LIBEL
Jury Gives Verdict to Defendants In
$4,000 Action.

A verdict In favor of the defend
ants was given last evening by jury
before Justice Siddons in Circuit
Court No. ., in the case OF Seth a.
Terry against James NJ. Chadsey and
George +. Curtis for the recovery of
S25, 900 damages on account OF an al
legged libel contained in a paper filed
by Mr.. Chadsey in the District Su-
preme Court. The plaintiff claimed
that in a caveat which was filed by
Mr.. Chadsey certain charges were
made against him which were libel
Gus, and that the charges not being
pertinent to the proceedings, a cause
Of action had accrued to him.
In the defense 1t was claimed that
The article complained of was sub
stantially true. and, further, that 1t
was privileged because of being filed
in a judicial proceeding.
The defendant, Chadsey, took the
stand and insisted that he had not
been actuated by any malice against
Mr.. Terry.
The plaintiff was represented by
Attorneys MILAN & Smith, while At
torneys Wilton J. Lambert and r. II.
Yeatman appeared for Mr.. Chadsey,
and George F. Curtis conducted the
case for himself in his own defense.
