EDWARDS AND THE COURTS.

Governor Edwards is in trouble with
last week in connection with the SEN
ate's refusal to confirm his recent APP
pointments on the Public Utilities
Board which has intensely angered his
opposing political friends, and they are
up in arms all over the state. The
governor, in expressing his disgust at
the senates attitude, took occasion to
say some rather severe and plain
things about the motives behind the
action of the senate and intimated that
the policital infection had possibly
extended to some of the judiciary
In other Words. Governor Edwards
thought that he could not expect jus
tice from the courts. Then the lid
went off the senate, and indignation
was rife from that moment and has
been ever since. The governor came
back this week and said he did not
mean the kind of reflection the senate
resented. But Governor Edwards is not
alone in thinking that there is certain
objection to some OF the judiciary, es-
pecially that type of it that gets in
through political preferment. Nor is
New Jersey the only state where this
has prevailed. The political affinities
of the New York judiciary have long
been under suspended public sentence.
While it is practically impossible to as
sociate any judicial wrongdoing with
the courts. yet even the Supreme Court
of the United States has many times
been severely criticised because of this
leaning to party in certain decisions.

Where Is the Trouble?

We read of twelve suicides in Buda-
pest on New Years eve all asserting
that they were due to hopelessness in
the outlook for Hungary. Imagine
twelve suicides in Vermont because
there was no outlook for that state!
What makes the difference? Free trade,
of course. If Hungary could trade
freely with her neighbors without GUS
tom duties she would be far better
off than at any period of her history
before the war. And her neighbors
would receive equal benefit Mark
that! It is the criminal denial of nat
ural human rights that is the cause
of all the misery of Europe. Every
one who endeavors to hinder natural
free trade is an enemy of humanity.
Why not collect custom duties on the
food sent by the Red Cross to feed
the starving children of Central Eu-
rope? Can you conceive more hor-
rible and appalling picture than that
presented by the Chinese officials in
diverting to their own use sums of
money sent to relieve the condition
of the starving millions of China?
There are blockheads in this country
that still advocate high duties on the
score of "benefitting" our citizens gen.
orally. (They are perfectly right as
long as we continue our private land
monopoly system.)

read this article and then write to
the editor and tell him they are all
ready to take his advice. All the
editor has to do is to point out to
them the work to be done. Their idle
ness is not voluntary. They did not
strike. They were discharged. Now,
everybody knows merchants are stock
ed up with goods produced and paid
for at the top notch of prices. How
can the laborer produce superabun-
dance of goods at much lower prices
without running the tradesmen? Why
should merchants buy labor products
on falling market? So The Suns

the Palisade Church last Sunday as a
soloist. She sang very well indeed,
considering that she is yet only a
young pupil in voice culture and is
only little past fourteen years of
age. She has soft, agreeable con-
tralto and will make a good singer.

Thoughts Of Today
Get Busy, Boys!

Senator Penrose stated that he had
no enthusiasm for tariff legislation at
this session. Why not? All the pro-
tective tariff legislation is based on
the idea of protecting the highly paid
workmen of American against the
pauper labor of Europe. If ever the
workmen here needed protection it
is NOW. Never before have the work
men of Europe been SO pauperized.
Never before have they been SO eager
to dump their pauper-made products
on our shores, and if ever the tariff
protectionists should get busy in their
patriotic efforts to shield American
labor it is today. DON'T wait, ACT.
But there, it is no use talking, there
is no enthusiasm.

MUSIC WEEK BEGINS TODAY:
CHURCHES START PROGRAM
Hundreds of Events Scheduled at Centers
Under Supervision of Director-Idea
Expected to s. Spread Over u. S.

Washington today enters upon its
first music week. proclaimed by it's
promoters to be the beginning of a
new musical era in America.
Two great results are looked for
from the hundreds Of events sched-
uled under the supervision of Organ
izing Director Robert Lawrence dur
ing the week. The first IS the crea-
ton Of a city wide love Of music, en-
Washingtonians. The second is
broader. In accordance with the
general national plan it is expected
that from the success Of the week of
music in the National Capital the idea
will spread until it has covered every
community in the nation with a
similar advance in music.
Features in Churches.
Today's features will be centered
about the churches. Cordial support
has been given by pastors Of almost
every denomination in the city. The
! number of churches having services
today as the initial event of music
week runs well up into scores.
Tomorrow will be characterized by
memorial music. The center of ac-
tivities will be the Sylvan Theater,
where from to 8 pm. memorial
day concert and sing, under the direc-
ton Of Mr. Lawrence. will be given.
The Navy Yard Band under the direc-
ton of Leader Charles Benter. will
furnish the music. At Arlington. also
Lawrence will direct the singing
| while during the afternoon, starting
at 4:3O. the Phyllis Wheatley Club
of the Y. NJ. C. A. will conduct a
| musical celebration at 9o1 Rhode
. Island avenue.
Rules Govern Guests.
During the week the music centers
mentioned later. will furnish the at
fractions. Only four rules govern
events at all .centers. They are: Chill
!, dren under four years of age will not
be admitted; all children between four
and twelve years Of age must be ac-
companied by adults; doors will open
each night at o'clock and programs
will begin promptly at 8.
Special attention has been directed
to the home music hour which is
expected to be the backbone OF per
manent institutions in Washington re
sulting from the events of music
week
Here's what Mr.. Lawrence has to
say about it:
"One of the most beautiful features
of the Music week celebration will
be the home music hour All fam
lilies are requested to set aside one
hour, some time during Music week
to be devoted to music in the home.
The home where music is a part
Of the home circle activities is surely
happier and better home than the
one where no music is found.
The establishment of weekly
home music hour. in the homes in
America. is to be urged through every
available channel in the near future
"Washington's Music week will
serve an incentive to cities
throughout the country to have sim
liar celebrations. Complete details
of all that is done here will be given
/, the widest publicity through the
press. magazines and musical period
icals.
1T is to be hoped that the response
given to the requests for home
music hours in the Capital city will
| furnish inspiration and material for
publicity purposes in assisting the
