A BAD SYSTEM.

There are ODJecLlOnS WHICH MAY De
raised to any system of selecting Of
fcers. This is true of Judicial ofic-
ers as we'll as of other officers. Per-
laps of all methods for the selection
of strictly local administrative Off
cers popular elections are least OBJ
%jectionable and in the end bring
about the best results. There are a.
mends which might be made to the
present methods of selection in this
way but it is not about these which
We would write today.
While local administrative ofic-
ers may be best selected by the pop
ular vote, we think the people of
the country, and in South Carolina
even, are coming to the conclusion
that a general popular election is a
poor way to select the more import
ant state officers. And we think this
IS especially true with regard to the
selection of judges.
Over the river in Georgia there is
now a contest for the position of
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court
of Georgia. We do not know the
present Chief Justice of that state,
but we take it that he is a lawyer of
standing and a mar of character.
The fact that he has been for twenty
years on the bench of his state, and
for seventeen years the Chief JUS
tice of the state is the best evidence
which could be offered as to his
standing. 1t would seem that a man
who has served the state for that
length Of time as a satisfactory
judge, considering that he has lost
his clientage as a lawyer, has ever
ed all his business connections as a
man and citizens, might be spared
opposition when he is getting old, as
is now intimated. But this is not the
rule in Georgia. Chief Justice Fish
finds himself opposed in the Geor-
gia primaries by Judge Richard Rus
sell, formerly of the Court of APP
peals. Judge Russell we believe to
be a good man also, but he has been
e consistent aspirant for Office, and
of office of every kind. He made the
race at least once for Governor of
his state. He was later elected, Or APP
pointed, to the Court of Appeals,
and after serving for awhile he re-
signed and returned presumably to
the practice of law. Now he again
becomes a candidate for office.
We are hoping that the present
Chief Justice of Georgia will be re-
elected, because it will contribute to
the established order of things, and
it will be somewhat of a rebuke to
those persons who desire to make
places on the bench footballs of poll
tics. We hope more that Georgia will
soon make it impossible for a judge
of it's courts to be forced to get
down on the hustings and ask for
Office as is now done. There will be
objections urged to the appointment
of judges by governors and to the
selection of these Offices by the leg
islature, but after all either of these
ways of selecting them will be found
preferable to the selection by popu-
T.. lar elections. The courts in the end
will be more Independent, and con-
sequently will command more res
pect.

LONDON, March l1.--'Americs
Is now changing her policy. In the
past she has been chiefly concerned
with her home affairs and home
markets. Today, In order to main.
tain her high standard of comfort,
she Is looking out for foreign mar.

speech responding to the toast of

con Club, in London. He went on to
say that in China she was hoping to
lind an excellent market for her
goods.
While II was true" he continued,
that she might burn her fingers
at first in foreign trade II must be
remembered that America as yet was
only a young country"
Referring to his recent American
trip, Lord Riddell said that associa-
tion with Americans was like drug
taking, as it was a habit that grew
upon one. Since his attendance at
the Washington Conference he had
become a confirmed associates of
Americans. He had found Ameri.
cans most extraordinary. They had
aosscribed him as frank, good-look.
Ing, witty, possessing a beautiful
voice; that he was an extraordinary
type OF English aristocracy and that
his clothes hung upon him like ivy
on an old church wall.
That made him come to the con-
clusion that he had not been ade-
quately understood in his own coun-
try, or else that he was an Internal
humbug. He had also been described
as looking like a third.rate chauf-
feur.
While 1t was true that America
was land of the free 1t also had a
great many laws. AS a teetotaler
he has made up his mind to return
to America when he retired. He no.
ticed, however, that many Americans
who came over to England showed
no inclination to return home per-
manently.
Describing some of the great
Americans that he had met, Lord
Riddell said that men like President
Harding, Mr.. Hughes, ex-senator
Root and those associated with
them would be numbered among the
great men OF the world of history.
1t was wonderful, he said, how |
America had "assimilated the ideals |
of England" The ideals of Ameri- |
cans were predominantly Anglo |
Saxon, he said, and he had not the |
slightest hesitation in stating that !
the future relations OF two such |
great countries were going to be Of |
a friendly character.

fore contracts were made between

the American Cyanamid Company.
Col. o. w. Joyes, Of the Ordnance
Department, testified before the
House Military Affairs Committee

The Government, he said, pro-
ceeded with the manufacture Of war
materials on the theory that I'VE
have to have nitrates and we have
to provide a way for getting them
Immediately, so we will get the
work started and find the way for

ment asking the two companies to
proceed under agreements and
await the opening OF contractual

CONTROL RADIO
W|RELESSSE
Report Of National Conference
Demands Law to Check
Transmitters.

| Government control of all opera
tions Of wireless telephony and
telegraphy was recommended by the
national radio conference called BY
Secretary OF Commerce Hoover In
u report made public today.
The report was submitted tc
Hoover by DR.. 8. w. stratton, di
rector Of the Bureau Of Standards
who was chairman Of the con
ference.
Hoover Is expected to ask Con
gress to enact the necessary legis
lation to carry out the recommenda
tions of the conference and to give
the Department Of Commerce au.
thority to prescribe regulations for
all radio transmission.
Not for Receivers.
The radio conference, while recon.
mending absolute Government con.
troll over transmitting stations, de-
clined to recommend such control
over receiving stations. The recon.
mendations set forth that Govern
ment control over radio telephones
is the only solution of the present
radio problem.
Definite regulations must be made
to govern all telephone transmitting
stations, or the entire system will be
destroyed by interference. the report
said.
Wave lengths below 5000 meters
would be reserved for radio telephone
service II the committees report is
adopted by Secretary Hoover. AZ q
basis for report to Congress-. The
committee held that those wave
lengths which have become fixed
within that range, such as 8 o 8
signals should be retained.
The radio committee said that the
present development Of radio tele-
phony warranted the separation of
twenty different wave bands within
the same range, Of which seventeen
lie between zero and 1000 meters.
In the assignment OF these wave
bands the committee recommended
these priorities:
Called Public Utility.
That broadcasting service be d.
vided in the following rotation:
First, Government bruacasiing; Sec
ond, educational and public broad
third, private broadcasting,
entertainment, news, and
20 forth: and fourth, toll broadcast
ing.
The lengths between $50 and 275
are reserved for amateurs. Oppor.
tunity In experimental wave lengths
would also be assigned to them.
The conference strongly recon-
that the radio telephones
be considered as q public utility.

Observers In q position to know
predict that the most ignominious
chapter of the United States par.

ed through the contemplated inves-
tigatioh Of the Alien Property Gus
todian's office.
Senators and Congressman are be-
ing flooded with demands from all
parts OF the country for an exhaust.
i've inquiry, Serious charges have
been made against former officials
and attorneys Of the alien property
custodian's office.
These include alleged mismanage-
ment, fragrant disregard for the
law and the right Of alien nationals,
the disappearance Of trust funds
and the use Of Information gathered
by Government investigating agen-
cies by attorneys as The basis OF
actions and claims against the
United States
5000 Active Trusts.
The alien property custodian to.
day has more than $4,000 active
trusts representing property valued
at nearly $500, ,000. 900, scattered
from the Philippine Islands to New
England. This includes industrial
plants, such as chemical and
woolen mills, steamship lines, banks,
land and cattle companies, salmon
factories. mines Of gold, silver and
other precious minerals, thousands
or pieces OF real estate and trusts
represented by securities and liquid
assets.
The custodian has not authority
TO dispose OF this property except in
cases where special amendments to
the law have been passed, as IN the
case OF wealthy American women
who married titled foreigners. Their
property has been returned, but no
move has been made to provide for
the return Of other estates and
securities held. Before this can be
done. according to a powerful group
of Senators and Representatives in

office is necessary.
