KIRCHWEY
BY OR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright. 1921. by Frank Crane}

When President Taft in 1909 declared that ''the administration of criminal law in this country IS ds- grace to cvilizaton he not alludng to police ineiciency leniency in dealing with offenders, but to he failure of the law and it's administration to bring criminals to justice"
 Our criminal procedure is all compact of ignor ance deusion, and passion.
 When physician comes to heal ailment he IS supposed to base his operations upon body of caref fully collected facts, each scrunized by science and tested by experience
 But whole system of criminal law is founded on the belief that human conduct be controlled by force and fear The objection to this is not much sentimental and moral that is cruel and wicked but simply that it will not work and never has worked.
 There Is about as much basis to 1t as there IS to the belief that carrying potato in your pocket will rheumatism.
 Into this welter of ignorance and confusion George w. Kirchwey, sometime professor in Columbia and for short time, during the Osborne trial warden of Sing Sing prson has stepped not apostle of sentiment but ceareyed scientist and sound thinker, and is endeavoring to put things on rational basis.
 Briefly he proposes to train men for the warden ship of penitentaries.
 His aim is to find out what is the matter the first step toward finding the remedy.
 Already the penitentaries of several states have been supplied by he has trained, and he has more can supply.
 Kirchwey advocates the intelligent handling of criminals, looking toward of their criminality, if possible.
 "What is becoming clearer every day." he says, is that system of punitive justice gets anywhere It punshes larger smaller per cent of criminals, drives others to cover and dssuades unknown ber but the fact remains that Tn every civilized munity crme in quantity and Tn its worst fOrmS tinues a constant increasing menace"
 Nobody knows this better than the judges-and the criminals.
 It is high time that sounder ideas were injected into this matter, and it may be that George w. Kirch wey 'has come into the kingdom for such time ths.

How to Beat Old Depression

The chief argument have heard against the bond propositions is that they providing for expenditures in a of depression It is admitted by these persons that the proposed improvements are desirable they advise that wait for them until " ready money.
 There will time in Phoenix when better undertake these enterprises They will cost nothing-now; for years If we are "depresseds and we deny that, all the twenty year bonds we will vote will not add an to the weight of depression"
 On the contrary they will tighten it by bringing in outside money be paid back many years hence. They will furnish employment by the many needed improvements for which they provide.
 If you think Phoenix is 'depressed'' vote for the bonds today to relieve the depression

What Economy Means

We that the taxes in Phoenix high Nobody this better than The Republi- cas which is heavy taxpayer.
 But municipal taxes are high everywhere. A recent statistical report shows that the average in crease of municipal taxation throughout the United States within the years been SS per cent
 That is because in the last two years the cities and towns making up for the time lost during the war have been growing faster. It takes money to make cities grow
 At the same time in all cities retrenchment is advised and is being generally practsed Retrench- nent though the temporary doing without things we do not immediately need

CHANGING NATIONALITY

and one which was not made easier by the constant comparison between the settled prewar administration of Germany and the partly experimental postwar administration of France. Temporarily, supreme power of gov ernment is vested in a commissioner and his executive committee, known as the commissariat general, which have theii headquarters in Stras- bourg. The commissioner is a Frenchman. but on the executive committee are found both AlsatiaSs and Lorrainers. German laws have now been largely replaced by French although in some cases the old codes are still in force. In the courts some difficulty was experienced on ac- count of the change or languages, and until recently proceedings in the courts and in the local government were conducted in the two languages. Slowly this double language arrange ment is being eliminated and now all the more important functions are
 conducted in French alone.
 The language question has not presented as many difficulties as might have been expected. The changing of street names caused a little confusion but both the French ana GeT1nan name IS SeneTdlly to De found on the corners. German Ian guage papers are permitted and are
 still more numerous than those of
 the French. In bookstores one sees

 those on political or nationalistic
 themes or any subject which might
 be considered propaganda. For the
 most part the inhabitants speak both languages. As German has been used in the schools and for all civil functions for half a century it is natural to find it so common.

By Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25-l Suppose you had been born French man, suddenly and violently convert ed into a German, and then turned into a Frenchman again. How would you have felt about it?
 That question could be answered by many an elderly person in the province of Alsace- Lorraine, which Germany took away from France in 1870, and which France has regained. The French government is now en- gagged in making the regained prov inces over into a part of France.
 If the feeling of nationalism were as strong as it is supposed to be. and sometimes becomes under the influence of war propag aganda, this change ought to cause much rejoic- ing on the part of some of the in habitants of the famous province and much weeping and gnashing of teeth on the part of others.
 According to American observers recently returned from Europe there is little of either. The typical in habitant of Alsace Lorraine is a placid peasant who cares little whether his government is French or German who only wants to be left in peace to blow and plant. This great emotion of nationalism about which the diplomats and the news papers make such fuss does not mean much to him. He cares little whether to the world at large he is a German or a Frenchman. But he is distinctly tired of being a world problem and hopes no more wars will be fought about him.
 The impressions of an American journalist who has just completed a walking trip through Alsace- Lorraine throw an interesting and impartial light or these provinces. He says Alsatians and Lorrainers did not as rule consider themselves as "op- pressed. under German rule nor are they now completely satisfied with French government.
 Changing Governments
 A person speaking both French and German can soon discover for him. self that good administration will ir time smooth out the present irri- tation against French rule. Te change the entire machinery of gov ernment for district of such size and population is in Itself a big task
