Cause for Wonder.

"TE SOMETIMES wonder whether some
w policeman long ago in the dead past, was
not Judge Robert Z. Mattingly's rival in love-
At any rate the learned urist displays at times
an unexplainable dislike for members of the force
Judge Mattngly accompanies his decisions
with dissertations the evils of the day that are
forceful in expression and often full of sound
common But hardly concur in his
attack on the police department the other day for
arresting handbook maker. The bluecoats OF
the National Capital have. just at present. vicious
and dangerous element to deal with. So long as
they display good judgment not inclined
to criticisc the methods they adopt to curb such
evils as handbook making and bootlegging
"Today-electon day-there millions
OF dollars being bet and paid out to influence
the election of members OF Congress and
judges of courts all over this land-and
with the knowledge of these who
supposed to make and observe the laws of the
land. The police and law officers OF the land
know it and make effort to put stop to
this stupendous gambling while here in this
case. where few paltry dollars have been
placed horse race the police make
example of this young | do not ap-
prove the systeni-and if it were possible
would dismiss this case"
OF course there was gambling OH the election
last Tuesday. There always has been and always
will be. But will anybody maintain that election
betting. which takes place three four times
year at the most is great evil horse
gambling? Even at that question whether
much money changed hands on the elections last
Tuesday the horse races last Tuesday.
What have the District of Columbia police
to do with betting elections? Very little of it
indeed goes in the National Capital. The peo-
pie here have scant reason to take any interest in
elections.
But bookmaking does exist in the District OF
Columbia. 1t goes every day in all sorts OF
places. Thousands of dollars are lost every year
because OF this evil
1t may be necessary for the police to use
stool pigeon methods sometimes in order to get
evidence. Why shouldn't they? Their duty is to
enforce the law by any means within their power.
There are plenty OF grounds upon which the
Washington police force be criticised-but ar
resting bookmakers is not OF them.

to scod them for such What would he

Armistice Day.

CHOCLD Armisticc Day be a national holi-
y day?
Millions OF world veterans look upon No
vember II as the anniversary OF the most impor-
tant event in their lives. President Harding's
nouncement that he will not declare officially
deal OF disappointment.
OF all possible holidays Arnistce Day prob
ably is of the most intimate consequence to
majority OF the American people Other celebra-
tions of events in which the present genera
ton took personal part. There cannot be- then,
the personal sense OF rejoicing that attends men,
ories OF the end of the word war
We do not believe that the United States has
too many national holidays. They are much less
frequent here than in most other countries Amer
leans seldom allow festival day interfere with
the working week. One more could do no hurt
But Armistce Day will be celebrated
whether by Presidential proclamation or not
Parades and patriotic exercises Of kind or an
other scheduled all over the United States
Armisticc Day affords the world war veteran
a splendid opportunity for taking account of him
sci. Few men went through the without
formulating definite plans for their future lives.
Their period OF military service gave them op-
portuny to check up their mistakes Of the past
and map out days after the war. And most OF
them, presume, have settled down into the
same old routine OF mistakes and lack of nitia-
tive. Armistice Day should be convenient post
for start in the race of life.
Few, of course, actually ended their military
service November H. 1913. Nearly all were
obliged to continue for few months longer the
submission to discipline But when the bells rang
and the horns footed that day they saw the end
in sight. 1t brought a close long period of
doubt and uncertainty.
The world veterans certainly. will cele-
bratc. 1t is bit unfortunate that the entire popu-
lation will be unable to celebrate with them We
realize that holidays plentiful at this
time OF the year-that Thanksgiving is in sight
and Christmas only few weeks off But it is
Impossible to combine Armistce Day with either
OF these. Why should it not be observed for itself

Fair Wages Without Conclusion.

VXTYHEN Justice Van Orsdelrs minimum wage
w decision is referred to the United States
Supreme Court the learned justices will
decide whether or not the District law is consti-
tutiona-they will not pass judgment on its eco
nomic moral soundness.
1t is not question of the righteousness
justness OF furnishing protection to women and
minors from conditions of labor which have a
rernicious effect health and morals. 1t is a
question of the legality of such protection.
The designers of the Fourteenth amendment
whose only object to prevent discrimination
against colored OF the South i'll the days
Immediately following the civil war, had lite con-
cepton indeed Of the element they were placing
i'll American law-an element which goes far to
defeat some OF the ideals which these them
selves held foremost. 1t is useless to debate on
the moral issue involved-whether woman who
does not get enough money to purchase bare ne
cesstes OF living keep healthy in body
and soul the woman who does. That is
TREY beside the question. Docs the District
minimum wage raw violate the provision OF the
Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution?
Everything will rest on the the justices
make to this question.
But shall common decency in the District de-
pend upon the Constitution Justice Van Orsdell
speaks at some lensth womans political and
legal equality with But most people will
admit that she is ro- equal physically in
perience at wage earning. Man has been the
breadwinner since Aiam kicked OF the
Garden. Man knows instnctivcly how to fight
economic conditions through the experiences of a
thousand ancestors. Woman does not inherit this
intuition She may b. politically the equal Of man
but her enfranchistrfent at a very recent
date. For the past City years only have women
been IN the habit CT earning their living in
dependent OF masCuIiuc guidance
The law may not entitle women to special
protection. But hope that all OF chivary
is not dead in the hearts OF employers today.
Minimum wage advocates OF the District will
be wasting their time ii they collect data on the
morality and health of poorly paid in the
hope OF influencing judicial decisions thereby. The
courts OF America are not concerned with the fate
OF human souls-wh-n such consideration might
tend to change their strict interpretations OF the
law. The bench is not the pulpit the Office OF
I welfare worker
.,s.. But they will be wasting their time if
they collect such data in the hope OF influencing
tire decisions OF District employors-which. for
all practical purposes, will be OF consequence
Ccaily than decisions OF the Supreme Court.
