the couple emerged from his cham
bers they had made up and promised
to behave themselves. 1t might be
considered by some that the judge
for the moment was without dignity,
that he exceeded his authority and
was frivolous-but he got the result
he desired, one that he might never
have obtained in any other way.
An Indiana judge told two men,
an attorney and witness, to "step
out in the hall and fight it out" They
had been quarreling in the court
romo. Judge Roberts did not want
the court turned into an arena. The
belligerents settled their quarrel and
returned, and the court proceeded. A
court, of course, is not supposed to
encourage violence of any kind, but
in this case probably the best thing
was done and long drawn out bat
tie of words, disgusting to the judge
and everybody else, was cut short. 1t
is more and more convincing that a
judge needs something besides legal
acumen, and that is knowledge OF
human nature.

which is imminent, with full strength
1t would seem now that this deduc-
ton was premature. That his mind
functions with remarkable clarity is
demonstrated by the tone of the
Reed letter, and it is not impossible
that he will participate in the cam
paigns to the extent of writing let
tiers, giving his views on candidates
and issues. But, there is no more
hazardous pastime than that of pre-
dieting what the Sphinx of S street"
will do, as Mr.. Tumulty found out,
and speculation on that point is idle.
The fact remains, however, appa-
reutly well-established, that Wood
row Wilson is still far from being a
well man. The sympathy of the
country will go out to him afresh at
this latest demonstration of his ply
steal misfortune, suffered as he
fought for humanity's sake and the
honor Of the nation.

THE STATUS OF C0LORED
PEOPLE.

Tampa is solving the problems Of
its colored population in the right
fashion. The city is proposing to
establish a park for its colored peo-
pie, and now a movement is on foot
to establish a branch of the Cham
Der of Commerce through which the
colored people may act for civic bet
terment in their relationships.
This is the treating fthe negro
problem from the right angle. 1t is
problem of economics, not politics.
1t is not a wider range Of political
activities that the negro needs, but
wider economic possibilities. The
better class of negroes are coming to
recognize this fact and it portends a
better day for the race. Indeed, the
colored man was not brought into
politics of his own choice; it was an
unfortunate day for both the white
and the black man when he was in
jected into politics.

WILSON'S CONDITION.

The real physical condition OF
Woodrow Wilson has been a mys-
terry since the day when he stepped
down out of the presidents chair, a
broken man, and retired to his "house
of silence" in S street, Washington.
Some people in the national capital
may have had an accurate knowledge
of the progress the great democrat
was making in his fight for recovery
from the breakdown which he suffer-
ed in the midst of his strenuous cam
paign for the league of nations, but
the mass of the populace living "in
the provinces" has been RECALLED with
nothing but conflicting reports for
many months.
Mr.. Wilson's professed physical in
ability to speak briefly to the women
who staged a demonstration of af-
lection in front of his residence, in
connection with the series of women's
meetings recently held at Washing
ton, is a thing to cause disappoint'
ment to the majority of us, who were
of the opinion the former president
was at last we'll on the road to re.
covery. Reports were that he tolt
the crowd of women he was too weal
to make a speech and compromised
by reciting his favorite limerick.

JUDGES WHO UNBEND

After Solomon have come many
judges, who have applied their under
standing of judicial wisdom and au-
thority in the way that appealed to
them personally and individually.
Solomon was the first, perhaps, to
supplement his vision with a digres-
sion that might have provoked crit
icism but for the fact of the service
it provided. The true mother of the
child was found when the great
Judge offered to divide it by cleaving
and to give half to each woman. He
never intended doing anything of the
kind, but the parties to the suit did
not know that. Judges of today are
responsible for many changes that
have come about. Bench dignity,
threatened and imperiled, is onyl
saved by the realization that the ends
Justify the means. Modern judges
frequently unbend in a human sort
of way, which makes it possible for
them to more nearly approach the
situations before them. The old or
der was rigid maintenance of an
austerity beneath the robes of JUS
tice tina tnothing could pierce, but to-
day a Judge can be a human being
the same as anyone else.

politics, and the cessation OF the ac-
tivities of few to keep him in pol
itics will be a long step forward for
the negro race and will open to them
new avenues of usefulness.
The negro is dependent upon the
white man for leadership. God made
the white peoples of the earth su-
perior race and placed upon them
heavier responsibilities than upon
any other people, One cannot help
but pity the negro when he goes
among them in their homes, their
places of business and sees them in
their social intercourse wit hall their
crude notions and lack of concentra-
ton. Many of them are absolutely
bad and are guided by the lowest in
stincts. They live under lamentable
and immoral conditions in many
places. Both pity and the strong arm
is necessary to govern them.
Economically the negro should
have a better chance. This effort that
is being made in Florida to get the
colored people to understand their
responsibility as citizens and to con-
duct themselves in sober and in
dustrious manner will do far more
for him than giving him chance to
vote. He needs to be taught how to
live a clean and moral life; how to
earn and save his money-how to
spend it as we'll as how to save it,
for many of them spend their money
in a manner that is worse than vast
ed. They need to be taught to be
honest and sober and kept out of the
courts.
The Tampa effort will aid the col
ored people to get this better view
point of life. Orlando is fast taking
that view. One of the best school
houses in the state is nearly complet-
ed for the colored population. This
modern building in itself will teach
coolred people habits of cleanliness
and ordiliness. Practical education
will make the colored people more
capable as a race and make them
more serviceable.
Many of the colored people of
Florida are becoming good farmers
and gardeners and are contributing
to the progress of the state agricul-
turally; they pay their taxes and
take a pride in assuming their share
of the responsibilities of govern
ment. They are building good
churches and the white people gladly
assist them financially in these un-
dertakings for their development and
betterment. Many of the colored
people are building good homes and
are living under better conditions
than has been their practice. This is
because the white man is coming to
a better understanding of the colored
imam and is giving the proper kind

MELLON BUILDS UP
A FALSE SURPLUS.

Secretary Mellon is certainly the
modern wizard of finance. BY SIM
pie twist of the wrist he changes a
deficit into surplus, thus:
There is an admitted threatened
deficit of S24,O00,O00 for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1922. Within
that period $71,O00,00O obligations
fall due. By postponing the pay
ment of these obligations until next
year the Secretary of the Treasury
is able to make it appear that there
will be a surplus of $47,000,00O.
This is the same kind of financial
sleight- of hand by which $17,000,000
is put in the list of Savings" Of the
Harding administration when $17,-
100000 of Pittman Act certificates
fell due and were not paid.
Secretary Mellon has already adj
mitted that there will be deficit Of
$4S4, 100000 for 1923, but this does
not include a proposed $50,000,OOO
for Mr.. Lasker or $75,OO0,OOO for the
initial bonus, $17,00O,O00 extra for
rivers and harbors and $60,00O,0O0
extra for the navy in excess of Gen.
Dawes estimates. There is a pros
pective deficit therefore, for 1928 of
1896, 100000, and the administration
lis going right on claiming that it is
saving money, practicing economy
and reducing taxes.
