what have been considered practical

His playing has been characterized as
nothing short of amazing.
In addition to this almost Super

new effects and undreamed Of beau

The First Test.

The republicans Of New Mexico
have probably put their best foot fore
most in nominating H. o. Bursum to
succeed himself in the Senate. He is
serving now by appointment. The
election-a special one-takes place
next month.
This will be the first test of public
sentiment Of any consequence on
political matters since November. Has
the tide turned? Or is it still with the
republicans?
Secretary Fall, and through him the
administration, will be felt in the cam.
paign. He is a strong man at home,
and probably the stronger by reason
Of the compliment the President has
paid him by calling him to a seat at
the cabinet table.
Interest in the contest ia increased
by speculation touching the influence
Of the result outside the state. If the
tide has turned, how much benefit will
Tammany, and democratic organiza-
tions In other states where campaigns
are scheduled for this year. derive
from a disclosure of the fact in this
far away state in the southwest? If
the advantage is still with the republi-
cans, how much benefit all around will
they derive?
The campaign will be short-only a
month. But all campaigns on the card
this year will be short. Money is
scarce. and both parties have discov-
cred that campaigning nowadays con.
sumes the wherewithal in quantities.
There are some expensive new wrin-
kles, and even old wrinkles are costing
more than hitherto.

what should be done.
There will be some very earnest

on Capitol Hill is bigger and far more
difficult than was allowed for at the
time Congress assembled. It was never
underassessed. The legislators knew
when they took it in hand that it was
mans size. and would tax their re-
sources severely.
Upon closer examination, the order
proves to have many sides. Hearings
on this subject and that have de-
veloped many conflicting opinions in
both business and labor circles, and
these in turn have produced conflict.

A Child Stealer Convicted.

A man was convicted yesterday in
New York for completely in the plot
for the KIDNAPPING of a child. whose
dead body was later found in the Hud-
son river. The evidence against him
was to the effect that it was he who
had called at the home of the parents
to demand money for the restoration
Of their son. He denied having any
part in the conspiracy. but the cor

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Story Book Detective.


II the story book detective
Could be used as a corrective
OF the manners and the customs
here below,
We would have a social movement
That must bring about improvement
That would find the world with pol
ish all aglow.
Each policeman scientific
Would. with eloquence prolific,
Discourse in terms Of literary grace
And each blackleg would be charming
Most polite and not alarming.
AS in evening clothes he burglarized
the place.
If you met a prowlfng stranger
You would feel no sense Of danger;
Through the window you might toss
him out the key,
For the loss Of gems and raiment
You would feel that he made payment
By his most companionable repartee
And the copper, philanthropic,
Would make sympathy his topic,
AS he let the bold marauder safely
stray.
And the footpad we'd be cheering,
AS a cure for profiteering.
If the story book detective had his
way.

Tardy Corrections,

The killing of little boy by an auto
mobile Yesterday at the intersection Of
Colorado avenue and 14th and Ken
nedy streets has brought forth a
strong demand by residents of that
section for the correction of certain
conditions which are now seen to be
contributory to danger. Certain speci-
fled remedies are proposed, and the
Commissioners will doubtless take
them under sympathetic consideration
and, as far as they are practicable,
will adopt them at once.
This case brings to mind anew the
hardness with which obviously dan
gerous conditions are attacked by pub
lie sentiment and by official action.
Not until life is lost is attention sui.
ficiently concentrated upon the cause
of possible catastrophe to effect a
cure. Yet those conditions have re.
manned, perhaps for months, possibly
for years, without attention. 1t may
be that some one has remarked. of the
situation at a certain corner, Some
day there will be a bad accident here"
Or, perchance, "a warning sign ought
to be erected here" Or, maybe, "A
traffic policeman should be stationed
here"
Rarely do those who note these con-
ditions report them to the authorities
But the initiative should not be upon
the citizens. There should be sys.
tematic study of the circumstances ar
fecting traffic. A survey of the city
should be made, not once in long
while, but regularly, perhaps once
month, to observe the situation as 1t
has developed. And whenever observa,
ton by a trained man suggests that
there is danger in any degree, not due
to the heedlessness of the drivers or
pedestrians but to the condition OF
the street, this fault should be at once
corrected.
Suggestion is not always needed by
those in authority, however. There Is
specific instance ready for citation
Some months ago a young man OF
this city was killed by the collision OF
the motor car in which he was riding
with the pillar Of the railroad viaduct
on Rhode Island avenue northeast.
The pillar was not visible at night
save at very close range. 1t was then
suggested that the posts at every via
duct crossing over a street-and there
are several such places-should be IL
Illuminated after dark by shaded lamps
throwing the light upon the steel. The
utmost that has been done Is the
painting of the pillars, and at night
they are barely more visible than be-
fore the accident.

for extortion. The initial impulse Of
father and mother is to give what is
asked for the safe return Of their Off
spring. But every time a ransom is
paid the abominable crime is encour-
aged. Even the dullest of child steal
ers knows how to work upon the feel
ings Of the parents. Descriptions of
the sufferings of the boy or girl, hints
at tortures to follow refusals to pay,
even appeals written by the children
themselves for rescue. these are the
usual methods of extortion. The par
ents often hesitate to put the case in
the hands of the police. They fear i'm.
mediate reprisal. Thus the crime is
safeguarded. 1t is difficult to effect
capture by Turing the plotters into the
reach of the police, for they have the
advantage of position and knowledge
and are alert for surprises and be.
trayal.
This conviction in New York, es
pecially if followed up by the convic'
ton of the other defendants and the
execution of them for the crime OF
murder, will go far to discourage the
business of stealing children and hold
ing them for ransom under threat of
death. And the law in every state
should be so framed as to visit with
the extreme punishment permitted by
the commonwealth any person who
steals a child and threatens to slay II
money is not paid for its return
whether the threat is carried out OF
not.

More Judges Needed.

A recommendation has been made to
Congress for the creation of eighteen
additional federal judges at large. to
serve wherever most urgently needed
in the clearing up of court calendars.
The Attorney General. in presenting
the matter. states that on the 30th of
June last 141, 900 cases were pending
in the federal courts as against 1874
June 80, 1920, an increase of 22.256. or
nearly 19 per cent. In some districts
there has been an increase of 500 per
cent in criminal business since 1912.
the federal bench.
The congestion of court calendars,
and the consequent slowing up Of the
processes of trial, have been a cause
of apprehension for a number Of
years. The courts have become so
clogged with business that they have
been on the average at least year
behind. Trials have been protracted in
some particular cases, while the addi-
tions to the calendars have piled up
faster than ever. For lack of addi-
tional judges these later cases could
not be taken out of order around the
obstructing cause.
Washington knows what this con-
gestion is, for it has suffered from it
sorely. The District Supreme Court
has remained at it's present size Of six
Justices since 1879, forty-two years
ago. Its business has multiplied many
times since then. The city has grown
immensely. When the court was es-
tablished at its present size the Dis
trict's population was about 900. 1t
IS today approximately 100000. And.
fnasmuch as this court does the gov
ernment business as well as the local.
the increase in the federal Organiza-
tions in the more than four decades
has added heavily to the calendar.
A bill has been pending in Congress
for a number of years, renewed bien-
nially, for the creation Of two more
judges for the District bench, but it
has never passed both houses. If the
measure for the creation of eighteen
additional federal judges at large is
taken up for early consideration this
item of two more for the District
should surely be added to it as an es-
sential feature.

The Old Story.

Here they are again! In Massachu'
setts would-be lynchers, men and
women, gather before a Jail seeking
prisoners. The prisoners, if left in
lawful custody, are certain Of trial,
and punishment if convicted. The
crime alleged-the most atrocious in
the category-is assurance against de-
lay, or any miscarriage Of justice. The
courts are open, and functioning.. But
these men and women would set the
law aside, and lawlessly put the prison
ers to death without a trial.
In Tennessee a similar scene is
enacted. A prisoner charged with the
most atrocious of crimes is sought by
a mob Of men and women. The courts
are open there, and functioning. If
guilty, the prisoner Is certain to re.
ceive the laws limit Of punishment
There will not be a chance for him to
escape.
Fortunately for the reputation of
both states the officers Of the law arc
proving equal to the emergency. They
are obeying the oath Of office. They
are warning off the would-be law.
breakers In Tennessee they have been
obliged to fire on the crowd, with dis
tressing results.
North and south, east and west. in
old states and new states, this fever
seems to be working. No one crime
causes it to rise. No amount of plead
ing or censure seems to affect those
who are seized with it. The way leads
to anarchy. and we are treading it at

very word "rabbi" means teacher. In
Judaism, a layman could at any time
assume the functions of the rabbi and
our ecclesiastics were merely the
most scholarly laymen. The popular
Yiddish word for the synagog is
"schul', corruption of the German,
"schule' or school; and the synagog
was thought of largely, in the first
place, as ''beth ha-midrash. There
the pious Israelite went daily to pour
over sacred script, in literal obedience
to the precept of the Psalmist, "Thou
shalt mediate in them day and
night" 1t is no mean testimony to
the intellectual strength and moral
earnestness of our people, to say, that
they conceived of heaven itself, not
as place where one might sit on
golden stools forever playing on
golden harps, but rather as a con-
tinuation school where one might
further develop and deepen the &C
cumulated store of wisdom and ex-
perience gained here on earth. And

to being more than popular pres

Yet from this one article betraying
