OUR NOISY NOISE MAKERS.

While the law does well in protecting us from
the automobile with the muffler cut out it does
not save US from annoyance caused by the
motorcycle. Here is thing quite as bad as the
cut out muffler of an automobile that the au-
thorities should abolish
Riders of this vehicle seem to have no regard
for the peace and comfort of any neighborhood
The motorcyclist speeds along generally at far
the quiet streets of residence section and in
flicts rs nuisance upon it. The machine gun
is his only rival as disturber. IF the evil were
confined to the daylight hours, it were bad
enough. But these selfish drivers have no care
for the peace and quiet of the night They rat
tie on with their sleep-destroyers at midnight
or at five or six O'Clock in the morning, with the
same reckless abandon and ignoring of the
rights of others to rest that they display in the
daytime. We have abolished the rooster and
his harem because of the slight noise which the
male of the species makes. Here we have a far
neisier and far more vexatious purloiner of
sleep.
Another selfish person who might be placed
in the same class with this is the villain who be-
gins his day of crime by running the engine of
his automobile at six or earlier In the morning
with sound like sawmll, in order to sswar1n
'er up This fellow can disturb seepers two
blocks away. He should be barred from touch
ing any of the works of an automobile.
AS an added, but not unimportant considerau
ton, if these things annoy persons who are well.
how may they not disturb and impede the re
covery of those who are i'll, especially those Ill
with nervous ailments7

I NEW YORK, Nov. 16-William r
! Morton, former investigating agent for
the United States shipping board, oc-
cupied the stand during most of to-

suited in their being declared men,

| Vessels. constructed Of unseasoned

signed and obtained employment with

cause so many of his Investigations
were stopped as he was in the midst
of them.
He first told of the sale Of five ships
to the National Oil company through
&c. O. Yoakum of the Pacific coast di-
vision of supply and sales. The ay-
erage price for the h,lls was $4,000
and the machinery $4,000, The ma
chinery alone, he said, cost 100000
In each vessel. Although it was the
custom to require as immediate pay
ment of at least two and half per
cent of the purchase price. no initial
payment was made under this con-
tract for six months. During that
time he testified the company made
enough through operating some of the
ships to pay their entire cost. Through
"a mandatory order from the shipping
board Morton said between 40 and so
ships were equipped with a patent
steering apparatus manufactured by
the Benson Smith Telemotor company
of Superior, Wis, at cost of S1,50e

Morton said representatives of the
repair concerns in San Francisco used
to frame up collusive bids in the
hallway outside the shipping board
offices. This ring" was broken up,
he declared, after the board had sent
its ships to the navy yard for repairs.

In1inistrators of justice, are the causes OF that
of which Mr.. Fosdick complains. As the peo-
pie, through their representatives, make the
law the people alone are to blame for the fall
ure of justice. We must convert the people to
the view that by undue consideration for men
arrested for crime they are making more unsafe
their own living conditions, before we shall

ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.

Not even those who stand for strict inter-
probation and administration of the law will be
ready to agree with Raymond B. Fosdick, who
in his recently published book, American Po-
lice Systems, - says that the administration OF
Justice in this country is failure. That there
is laxity in it is admitted. That there are flaws
in it cannot be controEerted. But that it Is, as
a whole, failure is open to grave doubt
Mr. Fosdick presents figures dealing with
homicide to show that but few murderers are
convicted. But the figures prove nothing, un-
less in each case they deal with the person who
was undisputably murderer that ought to
have been convicted. We are told, however,
that they concern only the persons arrested for
murder Therefore we cannot judge how much
or how little they prove.
Mr.. Fosdick is inclined to mix that which
must strictly be called the administration of
justice with other things that are not properly
Of its essence Justice IN this country must be
administered according to the law of the land
When it is not, our liberties are infringed upon
and we have administration of justice that
is the whim of the court or the prosecutor or
the Jury or of whoever or whatever goes out
side the law He seems to confound the law
and it's administration when he declares, as up
holding his assertion that justice has failed that
tthe criminal law in America is a game in
which the defendant is g ven every chance, fair
or unfair, to escape, while every possible OBJ
stacle is placed in the way of the prosecution. !"
That justice is not meted out under such cir
cumstances is, then, the fault Of the law, not of
the administrators of justice. And Mr. Fosdck
must not forget that In this country We place
great stress upon giving man arrested for
crime every possible chance to prove his inno-
cence To do this obliged to hedge the
prosecutor and the court with some restrictions,
for it is but human nature for them to take
every, and sometimes undue, advantage of the
power of their Office That we have in some
things gone beyond what is fair to the defend
ant is sure. But that is the fault of the law and
not of its administrators
Then, too, the jury, though it is part of the
machinery of the administration of Justice,
comes from outside the ranks of the regular ex-
perienced administrators of justice It is of
the people rather than Of the law. And it is one
of the most common causes, experience has
taught us, of the failure of justice Jurymen
are too often swayed by sentiment rather than
logic, by feeling than by judgment
