/ suggest that those more fortunate
"ofNlnen who are employed contribute
weekly, say, ) per cent of their earn
ngs for this purpose, and that this
fund so provided be handled by COM
mittee elected by those contributing,
as such men are the best judges as to
the worthiness Of the applicant for
AID and are also the best medium to
find employment for these unfor-
tunates.
OF course, I realize that what IS

would create greater demand for labor.

Sweating a Boy

A terrible crime was committed
last week in New Jersey, when an
eleven-year-old girl was murderod.
No clew quickly developing, and ap-
parently acting solely on its own in
itiat.ve, the local police arrested a
fourteen-year-o boy.
Seemingly the only evidence against
him was thai shortly after the ind
ing of the rutilated body Re trem-
bled at The sight and was heard t.
repeat the word lawful. Had he
been stolid, or had he said How
nice" The implication is he would
not have bean taken into custody {;
but the police saw chance TO show
its special astutencss, and it Wa not
neglected
Then the boy Wa "sweated~ and
third degrced," fo. New jersey is
up to date and is acquainted with
what city detectives do. For fours
there was effort 10 secure q confeg-
sion. The boys Boy Scout k.7 fe
showed a d.scoloration on its can
opener (all other parts being bright
and cfean), While the wounds Of The
murdered girl disclosed she mad not
been killed with can opener; but
this made no difference. The author.
ltles had prisoner and purposcd to
keep him. Finally the court inter
vened and released the prisoner or
bail, suspicion turning more plausi
bly, in another direction.
10 some the gross mistake Of the
arrest may seem trivial. Blunders, it
may be said, are bound to occur. The
defense has no validity with respect
TO what occurred after the arrest.
Let US face facts openly. More
and more it is becoming the routine
practice Of American police forces TO
use torture TO compel men suspected
OF crime TO testify against them
selves. The Constitution fatty for
bids this, and the law requires that
an accused person must be explicitly
warned that anything nc says ma,
be used against HIM What mock
cry it is to give this warning and
then to follow it up by leaving moth
ing undonc to extract admissions of
guilt!

T'oo Big Already

The Siegel raapportionment bill
has been indorsed by a Republican
House caucus, which was, however,
slmly attended. Il is reported that
only ninety-four Republicans voted
for an increase Of the House mem
beraAip from 435 to 460. st the
last session OF the Last Congress the
Census Committees expansion prof
ect was defeated after having once
been approved in caucus. Sound pol
icy requires similar reversal now.
The House is already too big. It's
capacity for dealing with large
problems has decreased as it has
grown more unwieidy There is less
coherence Of opinion than there
used to be and less opportunity for
new talent to come to The front.
The Senate viii continue to over
shadow the House so long as the
sort as cilution which the Slegel bill
au:hori2es is indulgcd in after each
census.
There is another reason why 10
increase in size should be permitted.
That is the added cost Of operation.
Congress fas been wedding out
overmanned executive departments
and bureaus. 1t hes won praise for
doing so. But now it turns around
and adds to its own pay rolls merely
to soothe the susceptibilitiea Of state
delegations which dread the loss OF
seats under the new enumeration.
The slower growing states are to be
coddled at the expense Of an over
burdcned Treasury.
General Dawes has been success
fully preaching the gospel Of econ
on1y to bureau chiefs. A new snirit
Of Conscientious saving has been in
stilled into the hearts Of many for
merly hardened sinners. Where is
.he General Dawes who viii go into
the next House Republican caucus
and tell 1t q few wholesome truths?

Philaader C.. Knox

Philander C. Knox was a Cabinet
officer under three Administs ations
--McKinlcy's, Roosevelt's ard Taft's.
AS Attorney General in the Roose-
Welt Cabinet he took the lead in the
enforcement Of the laws passed to
restrain combinations in restraint Of
trade. and laid the groundwork Of
the prosecutions which resulted in
the dissolution Of the Northern Pa
cific- Great Northern merger, the
Standard Oil Company, the Tobacco
Trust and other consultations with
mcnopolistic tendencies. Mr.. Knox
had been highly successful cor
poration lawyer. He put his train
ing and talents at the service of the
government, sacrificing his practice
to do SO. As ar executive officer he
was little interested in routine and
the drudgery OF detail. He held
aloof from the ordinary practice OF
politics. He was occupied with ideas
and cases, and not with patronage.
MI. Knox resigned as Attorney
General on July /, 1904, to enter the
Senate. He became Secretary Of
State on March s, 1909, serving four
years, and returned to the Senate on
March 4, 1917. In this body he
found an especially congenial field
Of activity. He had a status there
much less common now than it used
to be. The people Of his state rec.
cgnlzed him as man who could
contribute something valuable to
public life. He was inactive in the
powerful Pennsylvania Republican
organization. He was never a party
/ manager. He wasn't elected be-
cause he was q successful or push
ing politician. The state needed lin
.s Senator much more than he
needed the Senatorship.
His ABILITY and learning made him
! a conspicuous leader in the upper
house. He had courage end indie
pendence Of Judgment. At a time
when few were with him he took q
pronounced stand against the rat =
f'cation of the Versailles treaty.
He didn't defest ratification, which
was made impossible by Pr den.
Wilson's obstinacy But his leader
ship helped greatly to clear the way
for the alternative 81 separate
peace treaty, which, through Mr..
Wilson'S mlsmanagemcnt, the coun-
try was eventually obliged n acceat.
His death is {. distinct lcs- to the
Senate and the nation.

The Pentathlon Winner

Had the scene been Olympia Pindar
would have ceichrated Gourdin's win

ode and phidias would have shaped
his statue. But Travers Island is

large.
