SURPRISING THE FACTS

Senator Chambcrlain's demand for
the publication of the letter written by
Lieutenant Colonel Anscll in answer to
General Crowder's defense of the pres
ent court martial system still remains
unanswered. Senator Chamberlain is
the chairman Of the senate military af-
fairs committee. AS chairman he has
had access to Colonel Ansells letter, and
declares in his message. to Secretary
Baker that in his estimation, 1t was a
complete answer to the public defense Of
the present court martial system and
showed effectively and consistently tho
necessity Of court martial reform. In
his own good time. perhaps. Mr.. Baker
will permit publication Of the letter re-
ferred to. It is to be observed that
tnn autocrats Of our new regime at
Washington believe that the American
people are only entitled to such informa-
ton as. in their judgment. may be good
for them. In the not distant future Mr..
Bakers power to publish information.
OF withhold it, will be very severely linn
tied.

POLICE LEGISLATION

The very narrow majority by which
the Hough patrol bill was laid upon the
table in the house Of delegates indt-
Gates a strong sentiment in that body
for some kind Of legislation giving TO
the governor an effective police force.
It is altogether probable that the Wy
song bill will be put In shape satisfac-
tory to the majority OF the house. and
with amendments, it may meet the
needs Of the state. The one thing to be
remembered is this: The governor Of
the state should have at his disposal an
efficient police force Of some kind. Il
is not particularly important whether
the organization should be modelled after
that Of the state Of Pennsylvania or
whether it takes some other form Un-
doubtedly the patrol bill that passed
the senate was we'll thought out and had
many points Of merit. However. it will
b. better to have some kind Of Dill
than no bill at all, and the indications
are that some kind of police legislation
will be enacted

liut under tho new method the attrn-

social problem Of communicating his
thoughts and feelings 10 his associates.
G. j. Thompson Of the Cleveland High

for his own pupils tho object of compo-

may appear at first glance too frankly

of constituting Il definite and clear cut

Professor Thompson notes that
