A MAELsTRoM OF SIN.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: New York
City is at low grade Of morals. The
common restraints and conventional
ties Of society are broken down. Says
one New Yorker. lamenting the de-
moralizing social conditions: New
Workers have no restraint OF any
kind. There is no restraint OF tradi-
ton. because we have no tradition.
We have no restraint of religion, be-
cause we are not religious. There is
no restraint Of custom-of nation
ality-of anything. The individual is
placed above everything else. When
we realize that so per cent. OF New
York's population is foreign born;
that only three per cent. are the
grand children of people born IN
America, the problem is not so diff
ficu,t to understand We have the
most cosmopolitan population IN the
world, and all the restraints that hold
people in check In France, in Ger
many, in Italy, are swept away here.
II confession is good for the soul,
New York City needs wholesale
confession. And then repentance and
reform. The city is the maelstrom
of finance and greed. 1t is not true
index of real America.

NO THIRD TERM.

The New York World regards as impossible,
unthinkable, the nomination Of President Viii
son for another term It does not believe that
he would consider it or that any sincere friend
of his would desire it. His denomination would
be an anti-climax to his distinguished career,
and from the point of view of the public wei
fare could not fail to be mistake, declares the
World. No matter how the campaign began, 1t
would end as a conflict over the third term
question All the great public questions would
be submerged, and everything else would be
forgotten to the hopeless confusion OF govern
ment
There are many who consider the New York
World the most forceful and influential OF the
great journals which support the president. In
any event, it dares to be independent on oc-
casion and has disapproved, though without
re suit, some things that he has done. 1t adj
sised him, for example, not to go to Europe, but
relapsed into silence when it found HIM IN
changeaby resolved to 60 Whether or not the
World would support him if he determined to
seek and take another nomination, we do not
know; but in view of the position it has now
taken it would find it difficult to give him very
effective support.
All things considered, including the state OF
his health, it seems increasingly improbable
that the president will wish denomination. 1t
NAV be that he has already determined not to
run and that Mr.. McAdoo or others near to him
know it but that the fact is kept secret IN order
to further their plans to throw the nomination
where they think it ought to go.

some qualification; for repression OF sinister
movements has time and again saved nations
from diaster Our republic exists because 1t
has depressed disunion sentiment on two his

ssold Hickory threatened to hang Calhoun and
others who would nulhfy the nations will The

ly to be questioned that the church has properly
and successfully repressed many evil move
ments, along with many that were good. II
there is any one conviction that grows upon
people with their years, it is that generaliza-
tions are dangerous. They may be ghttering
and may sometimes seem to be sententlous; but

justice. In many ways this seems wise move
Although deportation OF undesirabies has close
connection with our industrial problems, it Is
after all matter of legal procedure and is
process of Justice in which the industrial status
of the accused is not pertinent to the case. There
is something that develops friction and delay
in our present method of handling this matter

ness to the department which represents the

demanding that the doors behind which secret
policies have been incubated be thrown open

not respond to the keys the people hold will be
battered down and free passageways erected IN

HELD FOR MURDER
 OF J. R. REYNOLDS
Arrest Two Negro Women and Man for
 Crime

Following the clue that the slayers of J. R. Reynolds said to have been murdered last month on Twenty-third street and Third alley, were negro women dressed in mems clothes, Depu- tles Burge, Smith and Wiggin last night arrested and are holding on cnarges of murder, two negro women, Ota Frazier and Sarah Smith, and a negro man. Simon McNair. A pistol, said to be the property of the negro women, is being held as evidence.
 Following the death of MT. Reynolds, the deputies started working on the clue that the perpetrators of the crime were women dressed in mems clothes, as 1t was reported to the sheriff's of lice that several times certain women mad been seen dressed in mems over alls in the immediate vicinity where the killing occurred
 An inquest was held by Coroner Rives after the killing of Mir. Reynolds and a small boy, an eyewitness to the shooting, testified that two negroes dressed in overalls came up the alley and shot MT. Reynolds. These two parties, according to the boys testi- mony, ran from the scene immediately after the shooting.
 later examination of the body by the police showed that the pockets of the dead man had been rifled, which caused the police to believe that the ones who did the shooting returned few moments later and robbed the body.
