CONVICTS FOR PROHIBITION.

Editorial from Pittsburgh Press.
Sociology, the modern science tits
founder was the French philosopher
Auguste Comte, who died in 1850 is
sometimes spoken of by very intelli-
gent people as though it We're nine
tenth humbug, but its Investigations
of human nature in its social relations
have been so varied and earnest and
painStaLing as to earn and deserve the
highest respect.
Take for example, the field of peno-
iogy, of treatment of crime. An I'M
mense change has been effected ny the
s0ciOlOgistS in the average intelligent
persons feeling toward the criminal
class. There was a time within the
memory of millions of men still liv-
ing when the common opinion of Grim
inals-an opinion held by educated
folk and uneducated alike-Was that
they were without exception wild
beasts deserving no more considera-
ton than wild beasts.
1t was a view as blind and narrow
as that which the ancients commonly
held in regard to sickness or other
physical affliction. They thought it
the scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus
in regard to the blind man: Who did
sin-this man or his parents-that he
was born blind?" And Jesus was hit
ting at the same cruel theory when
He said to the same scribes and Phar-
isees: Think you that the people on
whom the tower of Sloan fell Were
wickeder than other peoples?
Modern enlightenment no longer per-
mits us to believe that the sick are
sick because they have evil hearts or
that God uses earthquakes, fires, or
railroad and steamship disasters to
punish those who have offended Him
And yet thousands who call them
selves Christians do still believe that
criminals (who are themselves moral
ly crippled and blind and sick have
even less claim ON our compassion
than tigers.
Every year the sociologist, studying
crime and the criminal, convinces ar
increasing number of us of our duty
to ascertain what it is that makes meI
morally blind and crippled and en-
deaYor to cure them as we endeavol
to cure the physically blind and Grip
pied. There is much food for though
in regard to our responsibility in thi:
direction in such a poll as Presiden
budding of the National Prisoners Re
lief Society has just taken of the con
victs in 1922 prisons on the question o
prohibition. 1t resulted in a vote o
133,415 to 900 in favor of the, eigh
teenth amendment. Surely this show

men are impatient to have the presi,
dent fix" things for them.
They want to get hold of as many
government jobs as possible, and as
soon as possible; and, in their mad
haste to have this political patronage
placed in their hands to serve their
immediate needs, they lose sight of
the ultimate best interests of their
president and their party.
1t is to be presumed President
Harding has his eyes on 1924. If he
has. and if he hopes to make the
grade, he would be wise to turn a deaf
ear to temptation.
Just now, between a bungling Con-
gress and his short-sighted advisers
he is getting nowhere fast.

EVERYBODY BANNING THE
TARIFF

The McCumber Tariff bill, which is
the Fordney bill with 2,O57 amend
ments, drags its weary way in the
Senate, daily arousing new opposition
and antagonism from men of all
shades of political opinion; from the
Republican, Independent and Demo
catic press, from business men, in
Guiding manufacturers and importers;
from farmers, and almost every ele-
ment possessing intelligence and with
any understanding of economic prin-
ciples.
The constitutionality of the prOvi-
sion delegating authority to the Elk
ecutive to fix rates has been attacked
by such great constitutional lawyers
as Senator Walsh (Dem, Mont) ana
Senator Pomerene Dem., Ohio, and
by one of the foremost authorities on
the tariff, Senator Underwood Dem.,
Ala), but the Senate has already
shown its contempt for the Constitu-
ton by confirming Senator Smoot and
Representative Burton as members of
the War Debt Funding Commission.
There is scarcely a schedule in the
bill that is not subject to attack in the
nature of an exposure of special priv
ileges granted to the big interests.
The Packers Trust is well provided
for. The Payne-Aldrich bill put one
and half cents pound on all fresh
meat. In the pending bill it is three
and half cents a pound on beef and
veal, with lamb at five cents a pound
Swine now on the free list, is given
the rate of One-half cent a pound and
fresh pork also is on the free list at
three-quarter cents a pound. Sheep
are taxed at 81 a head. But there has
been no change in the rate on cattle
on the hoof which the packers import
from South America, and frozen meats
are barred from competition.
These are typical of the protection
afforded the big interests.

ANCIENT. RACE HDRSE REMEM-
BEERS TRAINER.
25.YEAR-OLD STEED WARMLY
GREETS OLD FRIEND.

New York, May S.-ClOver, the So
year-old ex-racehorse from Catawissa
Pa, showed that old age has not i'm
paired his memory.
The ancient steed, now owned by
Rev Ulysses Myers, was being groom
ed in his stall uptown preparatory to
week of exhibition in Madison
Square Garden, and was feeling spirit
ed. He couldn't be friendly with the
veterinarian who wanted him to show
his teeth. and he wasn't enthusiast
tic about anything near his stall.
Then George Schwartz, 70, a form
er hostler at the Poughkeepsie, \. Y,
race track, came in. George made
some remarks about Clovers' racing
days ano how he used to train the
horse back in 1878.
Glover, do you know me?" he ask
ed. Kiss me, Glover"
The veteran speedster stopped his
show of spirit then and there. He
looked at the pOrtly figure beside him
raised his upper lip and playfully nip
ped Schwartz under the ear.
Glover. Schwartz said, was a winner
in his racing days. He never broke"
and won good percentage of his
races. Schwartz and Glover spent the
afternoon going over old times.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 10 1922
RFPUBLICAN PRESS CONDEMNS
SENATE TARIFF BILL.

Here are some additional editoria
opinions on the Fordney-McCumbel
Tariff bill from leading Republican
papers:
The st. Louis Globe Democrat, the
leading Republican organ of the
Southwest, says: The bill seems tC
have applied the principle OF prOtec-
tioD to everything, without regard to
nresent world conditions and without
regard TO our altered position in rela-
tion TO the worlds trade. If our tariff
does not permit fair competition with
otber countries how are We to main
tain the world trade that is now so
essential to our prosperity?'
The Boston Transcript, the grand
molher of the New England Republi-
csu press. expresses the opinion that
nsrty guidance is thrown to the winds
with respect to the tariff and says
This is undoubtedly due to the preva-
lsnt chaotic conditions of interest ana
If views. 1t then adds: There may be
same consolation in the fact that it
will take a long time to straighten
mt this chaos of views and that the
itly will give an opportunity to get
nd of some of the injustices involved
in the Senate bill. But in the mean
lime, the manufacturers of the coun-
try are carrying all or most of the
tyDenses involved by the war with
ant the market which the war created
and are consequently pretty nearly
b,ralyzed. In this situation they are
to some extent prepared to regard
strikes as a blessing and are content
TO LET the tariff repose at the switch. ;"
Syracuse, n. Y, Post Standard, Re
Mbican, says: The Senate must give
ear to the changed conditions of world
trade due to our change from debtor
70 a creditor nation. 1t must give ear
alSO 10 uGllduu that lhC va
toodstuffs shall not be the highest
ever levied.
The Ohio State Journal. soundly
Republican, but. with a sense of hui
mOv constantly stimulated and arous-
ed by this administration, says:
Economic conditions in the world
have changed so much since the war
that the tariff problem is vastly al
tered. We are the creditor nation now
and the only way in which our deb
Tors can pay is in their products. Our
and manufacturing in
ferests need, as never before, wide
free foreign market. No one appar-
emily, except the hardshelled old high
who is wrong about It,
has a clear idea of just what ought to
be done. This is one of the cases
where IT is better to do nothing than
to do the wrong thing"

The April Freeze.

The frost and freezing weather of
April did not do nearly as much dam
age to fruit and garden truck as at
first reported. At least part of the
early crop survived. and 80 per cent
of the later crop. so why complain
But some people will persist in find
ing fault They declare that Radio or
Wireless waves have helped to chill
the air in the unusual way we eXper-
fenced it. 1t is easy to say things, but
much harder to prove them.

WAS IN AIR THREE HOURS
German Aviator Breaks Record Fly
ing With Motoriess Plane.
(By The Associated Press.)

Berlin, Aug. 25.-A new record for
sustained flight in a motorless air
plane was set yesterday by Herr Bent
zen. student flyer of the Hanover
Technical school when he remained in
the air more than three hours.
The flight was made on the con-
Guiding day of the gliding competition
held in the Rhoen mountains near
Gersfeld. Hentzen's machine landed
$50 meters above the starting point.
Hentzen is the flyer who startled
the world of aviation last Saturday by
remaining in the air two hours and ten
seconds, breaking all records by a con-
siderable margin.
Airman Botsch of Darmstadt took
off the Wassekuppe mountain and
despite squally gales, landed on its
summit. Herr Hachman, also of
Darmstadt, landed $3.50 meters above
his starting point.

BIDS ON CITY BONDS
City Commission Has 100000 OF
GeneraI Improvement Paper.

At the next regular meeting of the

o'clock, bids are to be opened on
100000 worth of the general i'm

pay for this years paving
F. L. Stevens, finance commissioner,
expects to realize a substantial pre-
MUM on the bonds Offers from To-
cal bond dealers for the securities
have been made. and have included
such a premium.
A total of some $23s.oO0 in general
improvement bonds is to be issued
this year, in serials, due in from one
to ten years. The one, two and three
year bonds will be taken care of by
the sinking fund of the city and auto
matically retired from available funds.
Stevens said today. Then there are
applications for the bonds from nu-
merous Topeka investors who have
maturing bonds of previous issues,
which are to be exchanged for the
new bonds.
In these three ways all the bonds
can be easily disposed Of some OF
them at a considerable profit 1

easily" Stevens says.

THE coming fall will give a
pretty wide choice in hats for
the fashionable one, ranging from
the very wide picture hat to the
small Persian turban.
In between, there is the poke
narrow at the back and tanning
out generously at the sides and
front-and the tri-corne.
The large hat is usually edged
with a soft fold of unwired mate
rial, about two inches in width,
the rest of the brim being stiff.
The crown is fitted, and the trim
ming, to be up to the last minute,
should be of some metalized rib
bon, or feather fancy.
The metal touch on any, hat
makes it hat of the new order.
A large hat of Lyons velvet is

down the back in an effective man
ner. It is the newest sort of hat,
and was therefore chosen to be
worn by Leatrice Joy, Paramount
player, in "Manslaughter," Cecil
B. DeMille's latest photo drama.
1t is all in gray and she wears it
with her gray velvet, chinchilla-
trimmed gown.
In the sketch at the upper right,
a Persian turban is shown with
the latest manner of using para
