America and a League.

Senator Mccormick will find it diff
cult while in Europe to put aside a
proffered Importance to which he is
laying mo- claim. He promptly tells
the public that he is not on mission
having to do with forming a new
league of nations which will be ac.
ceptable TO American sentiment. But
he will probably have to repeat the
assurance wherever he goes. His off,
efal position at home is known, as is
also the fact that as a senator he
voted against the league submitted to
the Senate by President Wilson.
Europe wants to believe that Amer
lea is willing to enter league Of ma.
tions fashioned in terms to answer
the criticism leveled at the Wilson
league when the peace treaty was un.
der debate in the Senate.
Such may be the case. But there
is nobody as vet authorized to state
Americas position in the premises.
In time MFR. Harding WIN be the coun.
try's spokesman. But not until he is
inaugurated President and has had
opportunity to take up the. matter
with his cabinet and members OF the
Senate will he be likely to outline his
position and set machinery in motion.
Until then all speculation. whether
in Europe or America. will be at
speculators' risk.

A Bad Day.

Yesterdays street casualty record
was two dead and eleven injured. 1t
was one of the worst records ever
scored in this city.
Yesterday was a mean day for mo-
toring. The streets were slippery, and
it WAS hard to control machines. At
night the wet streets caused renec.
tions that made it very difficult to see
people moving between the curbs. These
conditions. however, should have
caused all motor drivers to be more
than usually careful, as well as all Pc
destrians to be more than usually par
ticular. The results would seem to
show that less care than ordinary was
shown by both drivers and pedes-
Itrians.
It would seem as though circum-
stances were conspiring to give Wash
ington an especially bad record of
street dangers Immediately before the
mo Accident Week" proclaimed by the
Commissioners. There will assuredly
be no lack of texts for the speakers,
and no lack of horrible examples to
cite in the effort to convince the pub
iic that safety is matter Of the first
Importance.

The Speech of Children.

The question sometimes presents it.
self whether sufficient attention Is be-
ing paid in the public schools to the
training Of the speech of the children.
They are taught grammatical con-
struction and spelling, syntax and a
position. Occasionally they are taught
to read aloud. But little is done for
their enunciation and little attention
is paid to the purity of their vocabu-
larry. While slang is not encouraged
Is not even tolerated in the average
classroom-many children acquire it
on the playground and in the streets
and become virtually bi-lingual, with
one style of speech for company" and
school. and another style of speech for
ordinary usage.
1t might be suggested that better
general results in child culture would
come II some of the more abstruse
subjects were curtailed to make time
for regular speech culture. Certainly

every school for the drilling of the
children in better pronunciation and
better selection of words.
OF course. there will always be
slang. Language grows from slang.
But there is slang that can be alb.
sorbed into the common speech with
out hurting or degrading it, and a
slang that should never be tolerated
save as the argot Of the curb. 1t is
this slang that the children should
not acquire. But a child picks up
slang as readily as it does dirt. and
it takes hard work on the part of
parents and teachers to establish a
standard of speech that will enable a
child to resist the temptation to soil
its vocabulary with this sort Of Ian
guage.
After all, what is chiefly needed is
the cultivation Of good taste. The
teachers can do that ii they have time,
which means that they will take time

jority Of these passengers on arrival
in town move eastward and north
ward. When they get here they are
usually In a hurry, for the cars are
often late. They take the shortest
cut for. their detectives. They have
been doing that for years. Since the
car-loading platforms have been es-
tablished many Of them make for
these as safety points, or in order to
take the street cars. Nine-tenths OF
them cross the Avenue diagonally. and
they will continue to cross in that
manner as long as the cars land them
where they now do. and they are
drawn by the same impulse to move
quickly to their Offices, stores and
other places of occupation. This may
be regarded as u fixed and incurable
condition. Drivers of vehicles must
adjust to it. And the difficulty about
the street-crossing problem is that
what a person does at one point in
town he is likely to do at others. The
situation at 18th street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue is not singular. There
are other points where custom and
need have created public habit that
no rule. however accompanied by pen
alties, can change. This fact brings
directly home the conclusion that al
though pedestrians must safeguard
themselves between curbs, vehicle
drivers must not regard every person
in the street, possibly outside of the
narrow confines of the intersection
crossing, as an intruder.

Ponzi's Punishment.

Charles Ponzi yesterday pleaded
guilty and got five-year sentence on
one Of the eishty-six counts of a fed
eral indictment for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes. 1t was a light
sentence. Public sentiment is some
what shocked by the leniency shown
by the court. yet it is to be remen-
bered that Ponzi acquired merit"
by his change of plea and his saving
OF much time and expense to the state
by acknowledging his guilt. 1t is not
at all likely that Ponzi will ever be
put on trial, after serving his present
term. on any of the remaining counts
OF the indictment. But he may stand
as defendant in court on release from
prison in some of the civil suits that
have been brought against him to re-
cover funds intrusted to him for in
vestment. Which raises the question
Of whether Ponzi managed to salt
away" any Of his earnings from his
wildcat scheme. At the time of the
collapse of his bubble he was living
ike d prince. II ne was dS SnFeWO as
his original scheme indicated he prob
ably laid aside in place that cannot
be reached by legal process good
amount Of velvet on which to rest
in the future. If so he can retire
from business as a gentleman of COM
parative leisure and wealth after he
has worn out his welcome as a gov.
ernment guest.
The Ponzi episode has it's passing
value as a warning to people not to
look for great profits at small risk.
There is no safe and legitimate way
to make money at the rate that Ponzi !
promised. which was a higher rate
than the celebrated get-rich-quick
Miller offered several years ago. No
straight line of business yields such
gain. and it may be assumed that
whenever any one promises a profit
of that size there is something crooked
in the scheme and it is a good scheme
to let alone. For as sure as shooting !
those who invest will be stung be.

Business Confidence and Protection.

Business is not in a furry as the
result OF the announcement that a
general revision of the tariff is in cont
temptation. The reason is that the
revision will be on protection lines,
and business has always prospered
under the protective policy.
The recovery of business under the
Dingley revision is one of the tallest
feathers in the republican cap. a
state of extreme depression had been
reached. Capital in enormous sums
was idle. AS result, wage-earners
in enormous numbers We're unable to
earn wages. In the business world
the second Cleveland administration
had proved to be hoodoo.
But as soon as sound money and
protection were proclaimed the victors
in the contest Of 1896, business of all
kinds took heart and began to look
up! Manufacturing wheels began to
turn. Labor trooped to the plants.
and began to fill the dinner pail again.
Everything and everybody looked
alive.
The present depression in the busi-
ness world proceeds from causes diff
ferent from those that produced the de.
preston Of quarter century ago.
But that the revision of the tariff now
promised will il made with care for
all sections and all interests have a
reviving effect on the country Is GER,
tain. The principle of protection has
not been changed by the war; and all
that is necessary to produce the former
effects of confidence in the business
world is an intelligent application of
the policy to postwar conditions.

WHO WAS GAINS WIFE?

Springfield, Mass. Union: The
identity of Gains wife will continue
to be a fertile source of inquiry if one
lis to judge by the scarcity of authori-
tative material available, which at the
best is little better than conjecture
To those who cling to an absolute lit
eral Interpretation of the book of Gen
esis. it has been suggested that un-
ldoubtedly there were daughters born
to Adam and Eve, but since daughters
were not considered worthy OF record
their names do not appear, and it wa:
from this source that Cain, selected
his wife.
On the other hand, there are many
scholars who belive that the whole
story of Gains fall and exile was
transferred from a later situation to
the primevel period. Proof OF this is
discovered in the reference to the dis
distinction between farmer and shep-
herd, fruit offerings and animal sacri-
fees, and the building Of city, all of
which assumes the existence on the
earth of a widely distributed popula-
ition. Cain was evidently driven from
the tillage land, went forth into the
land of wandering" found a wife in
one of the cities of the east, possibly
"a city in China; but the name of the
wife or her origin SO far is shrouded

INFLUENZA AND DEATH RATE.

The common impression that the pandemic
of influenza in 1918 chose the young and strong
for it's victims is borne out by the mortality
statistics for the year. This selective process
was particularly striking to those old enough to
Irecall the previous visitation thirty years ago,
when the ''flu then termed "grippe'-orig
mating in central Asia, as believed, was over
flowing the whole world 1t appeared at that
time that persons who had passed middle age
were the severest sufferers.
In 1918, in the registration area" which is
composed of states Or municipalities that keep
their mortality statistics according to the gov
ernment's standard-it now comprises nearly
eighty per cent. Of the population Of the CONT
mental United States-the death rate rose from
142 per cent per thousand of the year before to
eighteen. And the census bureau notes that
this startling increase SIS entirely attributable
to the Influenza -
The greatest mortality, all causes, were
among children under five years of age, but
this is not unusual. The second greatest by age
periods was among those between twenty-five
and twentynine years, and the third greatest
among those between thirty and thirty-four.
Ordinarily the mortality by age periods increas
es progressively from early youth into the
sixties. The effect of 234 ,29O deaths from influ
enza and 222 400 from pneumonia in all its
forms, in 1918, was to make the average of NOR
tality between thirty-four and thirty-fve years.
