ARE THE MAGISTRATES SACRED?

ITO CHANGE the name of magistrate
= to that of district peace judge and
to retain him as constitutional officer
under the new title is not to abolish the
magistrates court.
But this is what committee of the
constitutional revision commission has
recommended. If there was one change
IN the constitution on which there seemed
to be no difference of opinion it was on
the Importance of withdrawing from the
magistrates courts in this city the pro-
lection of the constitution. The Municipal
Court was created few years ago to
take the place of the magistrates courts
and to deprive them of any excuse for ex
istence.
The committee of the revision commits
sion, however, recommends that in place
of the twenty-eight magistrates elected
on general ticket there shall be eighteen
district peace judges elected by districts,
the boundaries of which are to be fixed
by the Legislature. The number of dis
trcts and the number of peace judges
may be increased from time to time, but
the number shall never exceed one for
each 100000 of the population.
This recommendation ought to be re-
jected unanimously. The only court for
which the constitution should provide is
the Supreme Court. The Legislature
should be empowered to create such other
courts as may be needed from time to
time, with provision that the existing
courts shall continue with their present
powers and jurisdictions until the Legis-
lature acts. This would free the way for
abolishing the magistrates by legislative
enactment. 1t is difficult to understand
on what theory the committee of the re-
vision commission has acted in recon-
mending that the magistrates under a
different name be still protected in the
constitution

THE UNENDING WAR

VERY properly the announcement from
V the Phipps Institute of a discovery
that may permit a more direct and eff
cient warfare on tuberculosis is made
with temperatures and caution. DR..
Paul A. Lewis, chief of the Phipps labora-
tories, says merely he has made some
progress in the effort to apply curative
elements directly to afflicted tissues.
The theory involved is not new For
years physicians and the chemists who
contribute much that is invaluable to the
arts of medicine have been searching for
a method by which the tuberculosis bacilli
might be attacked directly in the blood.
Their experiments have taken the form
of injections made in central arteries.
Thus far the disease has seemed able to
outstrip any curative agent mild enough
to be introduced into the blood without
danger.
1t would be unwise to base great hopes
on announcements such as that which
Doctor Lewis has just made since physi-
clans themselves never expect too much
They wait to prove or dsprove their
theories by patient experiment.
There is reinsurance of a sort in news
like this, however, since it reminds the
world again that there is a world of
science in which there is unceasing effort
to make life surer, safer and pleasanter
for humanity. In time when so much
skill is applied in purely destructive
effort that knowledge is worth some
thing.
A cure for tuberculosis may yet be far
off. But that scourge is certain ulti-
mately to be dismissed like typhoid and
similar remembered terrors. Credit will
belong to men who, like those at the
Phipps Institute, work peacefully in Sc
clusion and find their reward in the
thought or memory of great service.

ECONOMY THE ONLY WAY OUT

4 ('HARLES j. HEPBURN, former coun-
~ sci of the food adm inistration for this
state, is doubtless right when he says
that the responsibility for profiteering
rests largely upon the buying public.
Men and women earned large incomes
during the war and the high wages paid
in war industries forced the rate of pav
up in private enterprises. The workers
are still getting more money than they
ever before earned. And they are spend
ing it for the best that there is in the
market. They judge quality by the price
and they often won't buy unless the price
is high.
II these persons pay two or three
profits to the retailer they have only
themselves to blame. They need not com
plain of profteering. 1t is the rest of the
people who have not been made prosper
Gus by the war who have to suffer from
the effects of the extravaganza of the
few That is, assuming that there is as
much profiteering as the common talk
would Indicate
But, as Mr. Hepburn says, there is a
remedy. The man unwilling to pay high
prices can find a shop where goods are
sold at a reasonable profit. The goods
may not be of as fine quality as could
be bought for the same price before the
war raised the general price level, but
they will answer
There is no law by which the profiteeI
can be reached as he was reached during
the war. The existing statute provides
penalties, but it provides no machinery
for its enforcement. in order to detect q
real gouger of the public it is necessary

date the treaty and negotiate our own
pact with Germany. y,
If we still believe, as the overwhelm-
ing majority of the public does, that an
international society cannot make more
deplorabe hash of the worlds affairs
than was produced by the old go-as-you-
please system, then Viscount Grey has
made constructive utterance. He has
explained the viewpoint of contracting
party.
1t matters not, in the practical sense,
whetherat present. humility in Europe
is direct result of its pressing needs.
The League of Nations aims at idealism,
but the factor which will keep it together
at the outset is enlightened self-interest.
Self-decepton on this subject brings fair
visions-and nothing else.
Tangible evidence is now at hand that
the so-called Americanization of the
treaty-self-inte again-will be ac-
ceptable in needy Europe. The Senate
has new chance to put the pact through
without taking plunge in the dark.
The President will shadow his many fine
accomplishments if he permits stubborn
ness to bar the way to this plain route to
ratification. The Democrats will be open
to the charge of gross insincerity if they
proceed to twist the lions tail for politi-
cal purposes. Further senatorial dead
locking by either party will be mex

HOME RULE

MUNICIPAL home rulers, undetelred
4tA by their failure to persuade the con-
stitutional revision commission last week
that the right to frame their own char
ters ought to be granted to the cities of
the state, have put their proposition be-
N2re the commission in new form.
4 Khis time it is embodied in a compact
section of two sentences. The first au-
thorizes the Legislature to permit cities
and boroughs to frame and adopt their
own charters under proper limitations
and the second authorizes the Legislature
to pass laws affecting such cities and
boroughs, to be valid only when they have
been submitted to the electors and ap-
proved by majority of those voting on
the question.
This is an excellent provision. 1t en-
ables the Legislature to define the limits
within which the cities and boroughs may
exercise their discretion and it retains for
the Legislature the power to legislate for
the municipalities, limited by the whole
some restriction against forcing upon any
municipality a law to which its citizens
are opposed.
1T Is a common sense idea.

WHO READS THEM?

THIRTY MILLION copies of speeches
l. made by public officers were printed
at the Government Printing Office in
Washington between July l, 1916, and
July Is, 1919, and circulated through the
mails.
This is what Senator Smoot reports.
The senator thinks that, in view of the
paper shortage, this sort of thing is in
defensible.
1t is indefensible for other reasons.
There is no burning curiosity about the
views of the cabinet officers and congress
men that can be satisfied only by a
printed copy of their speeches. Few who
get franked copy of congressman S
speech read it. The pamphlet usually
goes into the waste-paper basket and is
sold as junk.
There would be great conservation of
energy if the speeches were shipped d-
rect from the Government Printing Office
to the waste-paper dealers. They can be
disposed of in bulk much more easily
than separately.
We would not deprive the congressman
of the pleasure of seeing their remarks
printed in pamphlets, but all the ends of
vanity could be served by limiting the
edition of each speech to a hundred
copies, or even to fifty. This number
would be more than would be read. II
the others were kept out of the mails the
delivery of letters of importance might
be facilitated,

POSTERS

TTHE girl was a dear little fair haired maid
l. In petticoats pink and blue;
The man was gay little prince arrayed
In colors and rainbow, hue.
The end and the aim of their earthly scope
Was limited in degree,
For one was picture for somebody's soap
And the other for some ones tea
"Our lots very hard, dear prince" sobbed
she
For you come of a famous brand,
And I'm faint for a cup of your first class
tea.
But | cant even touch your hand"
Don't cry, little maid while there's life,
there's hope,
Though I'm only pauper prince,
For it's nearly week since I've known your
soap,
And I've used no other since -
The maid grew pale, as the season waned,
For her color was crude and cheap.
And the poor little love lorn prince com
planned
That he neither could eat nor sleep.
So they faded and pined till at last one day
man with paste brush came,
And covered them each with picture gay
For brand of different name!

"StOp JaZLing!" burn shows himself
good campaigner by
adopting n slogan at once descriptive. in
ctive and worth while. Jaz2ng is a reckless
and extravagant syncopaton of the rhythm

remedy for profteering for the reason that
there is no possible way of defining the of
fonse save in abnormal cases. The line be-

is making more money we think he must
be profiteering.
1t is likely that when we look back
upon conditions today from the distance
of four or five years we shall conclude
that the real cause of most of the dis

of the salaried man to adjust itself to the
new price level brought about by world

war expenses.
