Racing River Steamers.

The attention of the police, or the
supervisor of this district for steam
boat inspection, is directed to the dis.
Potomac river steamers to engage in
races on their final evening trips. Two
of these boats. coming home from
down river excursions the other night.
one OF them was overtaken, below Fort
Washington, bells were rung for full
speed ahead. and the two craft were
pushed to the limit to the Alexandria
dock.
There is danger in this practice. and
it is hoped that it will be promptly
checked. The risks involve the safety
of hundreds Of people. The boilers may
not endure the heavy pressure. The
craft may be steered, for advantage.

steamers was run aground during q

Rivalry between crews and between
passengers may induce these competi-

gerous a game, and if warning. Of

tions should be instituted to bring into
court those who are responsible for
the practice. This is the time to act,

He entered the White House in cir

to turn in any direction and take up

But he did not hesitate or draw back.
He called Congress together. in spe-

He has not escaped criticism. He

A Murder Mystery.

Another murder mystery awaits
solution by the police Of the District
and Maryland. A dead man, obviously
slain by the infliction of many stab
wounds, is found partially hidden In a
culvert alongside road in Maryland.
His hat is discovered some distance
away, and blood spots leave trail
from that point to the hiding place.
Deductions from the known facts sug-
gest that one man did the killing, that
the motive was vengeance. and that
the body was first carried in a motor
to remote spot and then dragged into
hiding. Fingerprints may, possibly
lead to identification. But the clothing
Is almost certain to yield clue to
identity, while the body itself was
found so quickly after death-here
a gain the enterprise and curiosity of
the small boy are to be recognized as
the factors of discovery-that there
should be no difficulty in ascertaining
the name and station Of the victim.
From that point on the search for the
slayer is facilitated. Who had reason
to wish him dead? Who was last seen
in his company? Who had the oppor-
tunity as well as the motive for killing
him? These are the preliminary ques-
tions In such a pursuit. The chances
are all against the slayer. Once in a
while murder remains unsolved, but it

Treason" in a Primary.

What the voters in their own dis
trict thought of the charges Of trea-
son against William Blizzard and
Fred Mooney may be deduced from
their nomination Of both men in the
primaries as republican candidates for
the house of delegates in West Vir-
ginia. Queer things happen in the
primaries from time to time. queerer
this year tnan usual; but that Mooney.
with an Indictment for treason still
pending. should capture third place
out of list of thirty Ave republicans.
and that Blizzard, recently acquitted
of the same high crime, should stand
fifth. must be set down as the
strangest bit of irony yet recorded.
The joke is on the Logan coal op-
orators. Two of the men singled out
in Logan county as traitors to the
commonwealth are quite likely to sit
in Charleston as representatives of
the people of the state, making laws,
it may be. against the subsidizing Of
deputy sherihfs by coal companies.
And the charges Of treason will have

sons. Resolutions, nave been adopted
by organizations that were in sumo
cases couched in terms Of strong de-
nunciation of the policy Of reprisals
BY death. Others were pleas for
mercy. But, in whatever terms. it has
been evident that the socialists out
side Of Russia are altogether out Of
sympathy with the death policy Of the
soviet. Does the yielding on this point
signify real change Of heart or
merely a shift Of tactics to preserve
the sympathy and support Of the
radicals of other countries? II the
former, there is reason to hope for
progressive modification Of bolshevik
rule. II the latter. there Is ground
to fear continued propaganda by the
soviet against established govern

is rarely exceptional. Long time may
pass before the truth is revealed. but
eventually, save in those few. extreme
cases. 1t comes to light. However
carefully plans are laid or traces are
concealed, some slight clue leads to
suspicion. and with shrewd police work
suspicion leads to the disclosure OF
facts and facts soon develop proof.
Individual crime is harder to trace
than gang crime, for the slayer may
preserve his secret while among sew
eral participants one is almost certain
to slip in act or speech and give hint
of the circumstances. But even the
craftiest murderer, whether he has
plotted his crime or has killed in
moment Of passion. is likely to leave
some slight mark or sign. 1t often
happens that the very care taken to
cover up traces gives rise to the in
itial suspicion that is the starting
point Of discovery.

Reform in Court Practice.

In an address before the American
Bar Association at San Francisco
Chief Justice Taft disclosed a condi-
ton existing in the federal courts
which is matter for profound public
concern. 1t is difficult to arouse a
great deal of interest in questions of
court procedure and congested dockets,
but these matters come much nearer
to the people in their daily lives than
they realize. Next to exact justice
nothing is of more Importance than
expeditions justice, and according to
the Chief Justice expedition is the
one thing conspicuously lacking in
federal court procedure.
Aside from his own experience as a
federal judge. Mr.. Taft is just back
from "a prolonged visit abroad, during
which he was afforded an exceptional
opportunity to study court procedure.
particularly in the English courts. He
found methods in vogue there in many
respects superior to American
| methods. and the best legal minds in
| this country have been waiting with
keen interest to learn what recon-
| mendations in the way of reform he
! would make. The meeting Of the
American Bar Association afforded
him fitting opportunity to speak.
! Mr.. Taft finds that at the seat of
the trouble is the lack OF a sufficient
number of judges. and he is strongly
| impressed with the necessity that
! Congress snail pass the pending bill
providing for appointment Of twenty
additional district judges. But this
will not alone provide an adequate
remedy Some judges work them
selves to death trying to keep their
! dockets clear while others take things
easy. accepting hopelessly congested
| dockets as inevitable. This condition
would be remedied. he thinks. by the
! proposed creation of a judicial council
! C ten members, to consist OF the
| Chief Justice and the senior associate
| justice of each circuit, to meet in
| Washington once a year to consider
reports from each district judge as to
! the character of arrears in his court.
| these reports to be the bases for de-
| termining what districts needed extra
| judicial force. This system not only
would result in providing help for
overworked judges, but judges who
are dilatory would be shown in so
unfavorable a light that they tnevita-
j bly, would be spurred to greater
energy.
] Justice Taft proposes certain other
| reforms in court procedure more or
less confusing to the lay mind, but Of
the utmost Importance in enabling the
! courts, and particularly the Supreme
Court. to keep abreast Of the ever
growing business which comes before
them. However dry reading his
recommendations may make to the
average citizen. even those Of non
legal mind must realize that here is
Chief Justice playing new role. In
addition to his great talents as a
lawyer and a judge, Mr.. Taft is shown
to have a constructive mind Of the
first order, and he brings to considera-
ton of the important problem before
him wide experience as an administra
| tor. The combination gives US a new
| type of judge as interesting as it is
promising of benefits.

Why Not Let EN- Be Girls Again.

Helen of Troy was not more talked
about than are the young girls Of this
age who are made to regard them
, selves as flappers. They have not un-
naturally come to feel that 1t is neces-
sary for them to talk and act and
| dress the part. Girlhood Is denied
them. AS soon as they are out Of the
! nursery. the world calls them fiappers
on their dress. their conversation,
! their social habits and the thoughts
| that are supposed to be in their heads.
| Thus has the flapper come to be q
| social institution and to mean any
| girl and any woman OF almost any
! age who dresses near enough to the

should, but young girls should not be

"MercY" at Moscow.

Evidence of changed conditions in
Russia is afforded by the action Of
the central executive committee at
Moscow, which is now virtually the
government, in ordering an indefinite
stay Of execution in the case Of the
twelve social revolutionists just SEN
fenced to death for high treason"
Thirty-four were on trial. Three were
acquitted, fourteen were convicted and
sentenced to death and the others
were given prison sentences Of from
two to ten years. The death sentences
Of two of those condemned were modi-
fled by the central committee. The
twelve whose death sentences were
approved will be held as hostages. If
the social revolutionists cease their
men will be spared. But if any move
Is made toward the overthrow Of the
soviet government they will be put
to death.
Formerly there would have been no
such temporizing or bargaining. Sum-
mary executions were the order when
the bolsheviki first gained control.
Possibly it will never be known how
many were slain in this way. Grad
