RUNNING WILD FOR EFTEcT.

As if they were giving publicity to some great sensation there have been several underhanded attacks made in congress of late which are certainly no credit to those responsible Little con slderation seems to have been given to the seriousness of the charges made. The object appears to have been to get the stories going for the purpose of doing as much harm as possible, or have as much influence as they were expected to have upon legislation, and then make an at- tempt. if at all, to find out the truth of the matter after interest in it had ceased and the false brand had done it's work.
 There were two instances during the discussion of the treaties when Secre- tary Hughes, who had intended to have nothing to say in regard to the delibera- tions before the senate, felt obliged in justice to fair dealing to show up the falsity of the claims and set forth the facts. The purpose of the allegations was to all intents and purposes to infu- ence the opinion of the senators and there didn't seem to be very much care taken to have the statements correct n undertaking to bring about that influ- ence.
 There are of course cases where opin- .ons differ and it may be that it is one of them when the claim is made that the navy reduction recommended accords with the naval treaty, but there agar Secretary Hughes is obliged to state that it would not maintain fully the standard of the treaty, which should be done.
 Perhaps the worst of all, however, i, the attack which has been made upon Secretary Weeks of the war department against whom the charge was made tha- he had profited. as a member of the firm of Hornblower & Weeks, from the salt of the Bosch Magneto company in 1918 Secretary Weeks not only comes fortf with a vigorous denial of such q charge but declares, as was given wide public ity at the time, that he severed all con nection with the firm when elected to tn, senate in 1913.
 The making of such charges cannot bt too strongly condemned, since it coulC have been easily established before thu charge was made that it was grossly in correct There is seldom any excuse fol such wild and damaging charges.

the legislature without it's object being fully understood. The parole board rev. ognizes that there would be nearly 2,09O prisoners that might claim their release under it, and frankly it is their opinion that it is against a safe and sane law enforcement policy.
 The law is not the product of the pa | role board, which has no interest in it. but it believes that it is inclined in a dangerous direction. The parole board apparently considers that it is now shoul- 1 dering enough blame in administering the laws as they exist. Their attitude might indicate that they do not approve of
 much of the leniency that is being shown
 to criminals and certainly are not desir-
 ous of having the proposed responsibil- 1 ity thrust upon them
 1 What is needed is the treatment of
 criminals in manner that will bring
 about greater instead of- less respect for
 the law. Plainly the parole board be- | lieves punishment of criminals would
 amount to little or nothing if those sen
 fenced for crime, up to manslaughter could be released from prison after hay
 ing served year of their sentence.

AGAINST INCREASING LExrExoY.

In view of the many instances where 9aroled prisoners are involved in new criminal acts, and the criticism which is so often heard to the effect that they ought not to have been given the ben eft of freedom they were enjoying, 1t is interesting to note that the parole board lf the state of New York through one of ts members speaking in it's behalf, is of -he opinion that the way for criminals ought not to be instantly made easier.
 The board wasn't speaking In behalf of any changes in the laws governing the board but it was giving it's opinion to the governor. who is endeavoring to deter mine whether the duties of the board should be increased by giving his ap- proval to the bill passed by the legfsla- ture providing that first offenders can be released by the parole board after their first year in prison.
 The law Is regarded as a dangerous one and believed to have gone through
