The Patience Of the Hills.

Give me the patience Of the silent hills.
The green. calm hills that watch be-
meath the sky.
Still vigils keeping as the years go by,
Unmoved by storm or wind when win
ter spills
snowy flood. o tranquil trees and
rilis,
would be like your majesty Of green
Through lifes vicisstudes to dwell
serene
Give me the patience OF the silent hills
o noble contours mighty glades that
peer
Heavenward, where the sunlight
CLEANS on high,
Companions OF the cloud sisters Of
the star,
Bride of the moon IN azure regions
Give me the silence of the vaulted> sky,
Tho patient fortitude that dwells
afar!

Policemen's Powers.

Advance sheets of TIE Law Reports
for August IL contain memorandum
of interest in the discussion of the
powers of policemen brought on by
the alleged overzeal of a patrolman
who deprived a woman of a cigarette
she endeavored to smoke in the
street. 1t was written by Presiding
Justice EDWARDS on motion for dis
missal of action and other relief
made by a man whose behavior on
the highway aroused the suspicion
Of policeman, and who on being
searched was found to have re.
volver in his possession. The man
had no license to possess the revolver
and the policeman on finding it ar
rested him.
The accused man pleaded that the
policeman in stopping and searching
him committed an invasion of his
constitutional rights, citing the Blu
Of Rights, the Civil Rights Law and
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution OF the United States
to support his contention. Justice
EDWARDS examined at length the law
bearing on the facts, declaring that:
"On fundamentals. surely, the court
and advocates on both sides stand
on common ground. Amy form OF
autocracy. Of usurpation Of author
ity. Of Insolence OF Office. is intol-

The Old Time Circus.
Its Arrival Was q Great Event In
the Country Boys Life.

To THE New YORK HERALD: OF all

sorry faculties of a country boy nothin 3
could equal the circus. Those advance
posters, displayed on old barns, big trees
and in the village stores. served notice
on the boys that 1t was time to begin to
save money for the purchase of an un-
reserved seat on a splintered board.
The clock moved slowly till the great
day came. The fiamboyant morning
pageant, the roar OF the brass band. the
shrieks of the calliope. the grimaces Of
the clowns, the beautifully caparisoned
horses. the tinseed equestriennes. the
marching and countermarching OF ta.
Gagged lions and tigers.Jhe big elephants
numbering along on foot all these were
only a foretaste Of the miracles con-
cealed on the other side Of that tapping
canvas tent.

our standards. and to give the manage
ment It's due those old circuses com-
pared favorably with the modern show
except in the point of magnitude. Stone
& Murray's Great International Circus
will never fade from the memory OF the
boys OF that time.
The show was out for money and
probably realized that IL boys ex-
chequer baked at the price for the big
show he might manage to rake up dime

was also irresistible.
There on the canvas, large as life.
stared the living skeleton. the tattooed
man. the two headed calf. the bearded
lady. the educated hog and the wild man
of Borneo imported at enormous ex-
pense." Right by the entrance stood
the barker. The eloquence, vocabulary
and delivery OF that stentor converted
every boy within hearing Of his voice..
and II had generous range.
Then there was the hurdy gurdy in
side. whose raucous uulations fairly
hypnotized us. We paid and filed in only
to discover that the inside show was a
hollow mockery of the promises por-
trayed on the canvas. However. 1t was
an experience that 1t was well to have
early In life.

again heard In the land.

The Herrin Murders.
Information Wanted as to What the
Authorities Are Doing,

To THE New York HERALD: There are
some millions of red blooded, free born
American citizens who are asking them
selves a few questions these days.
Among these are the following:
/. What have the local. State and
Federal authorities done. or what. II
anything, do they intend to do relative
to the unspeakable slaughter at Herrln
of men acting within their constitutional
rights by a cowardly mob OF brutal as
ssssins In most treacherous. inhuman
and fiendish manner?
2. What steps, IL any. have been taken
or will be taken to bring these murder
ers and assassins to justice?
3. If no measures have been taken,
and 1t Is obvious that no effective ones
have been taken. why not? Is 1t through
inability to obtain testimony regarding
shocking crime committed In the pres
encc OF thousands OF witnesses? Is II
through lack of a sense of duty on the
part of the officials? Or Is 1t that the
officials are so afraid of the red ele-
ment that they have been intimidated?
If the radicals want a fight by all
means let us have one. and to red
not finish. r. L. DE N. FORD.

What Strike Violence Means.

When striking railroad shopmen or
their sympathizers pulled spikes from
the ties of the Michigan Central
tracks near Gary. Indiana, Sunday
morning. causing the rails to spread
and ditch a train, and thus killing
two men, they confessed that the
shopmen's strike had been ineffective.
If the Michigan Central had been
tied up by the strike in the way the
striking shopmon tried to tie 1t up
there would have been no reason for
The New York herald., 1922-08-22
strikers or sympatbizers with strik-

ers to resort TO violence.
II the Santa Fe shops at San Ber-
nardino, California, were idle; If the
railroad company had not been able
TO recruit force OF shopmen large
enough and sufficiently capable in
craftsmanship to do satisfactory re-
pair work, neither strikers nor strik-
ers' sympathizers would have thought
it worth while to attack the shops, as
they did the other night, and assault
the men at work for the railroad.
If the Southern Railway shops at
Salisbury. North Carolina, were not
repairing rolling stock at a rate
alarming to the striking shopmen
neither strikers nor strikers sympa-
thizers would have taken the trouble
to cut the water mains serving the
yard on Saturday night.
Such acts Of violence are not dem
onstrations of strength by strikers or
strikers sympathizers. They are con-
fessions of weakness, confessions of
defeat. They are designed to intimi-
date the public at large. They cor
roborate the confident assertions of
the railroad executives that so far as
it is struggle between railroads and
shop unions the shopmen's strike has
been won by the railroads.
Perhaps there are strikers and
strikers sympathizers who in their
desperation believe they can intimi-
date the American people by violence.
They cannot do it. The American
people are not to be intimidated by
the lawless acts OF reckless strikers
or sympathizers with the strikers.
