are organizing to protect themselves
from the public or from the rulers Of

ever. that the latter is the purpose,
for no amount OF incorporation could
ever be expected to save an umpire
from the wrath of the crowds. The
police are supposed to do that. organ.
lied or unorganized.
Yesterday In this city an umpire at
an amateur ball game was beset with
angry players and disgruntled partisan
spectators on the score of q decision,
and, though the game proceeded to a
finish, a near-riot developed. culminat-
ing in an arrest. Nobody was hurt,
but the prestige of the umpires in
amateur games was shaken by the
occurrence.
One of the faults Of the game is the
disposition Of both players and specta.
tors to quarrel with the judges of
play. The insults that are hurled at
the arbitrators in the professional
game from the stands would lead to
wholesale SANDER suits II uttered in
private life. The term 'robber" has
become mild commonplace. almost
an epithet Of endearment. The players
are under some restraint. They may
be given the gate" or "sent to the
showers" as the parlance goes, and
they may be even suspended or fined
for misbehavior. But a spectator must
be most flagrantly persistent in his
verbal assaults ever to be elected from
the grounds.
Organized umpiring is not a guaran-
tee Of better umpiring, though that Is
one of the great needs of the game
today. Too many Of the judges of play
in the professional games take their
work as matter of dull routine and
render decisions in careless, offhand
way that suggests Impotence with the
slowness Of the contest and DISPOSE
ton to hurry things along to dinner
time. Maybe incorporation will help to
bring about reform in this regard.

A Busy October.

The last Of the primary contests are
approaching the end. In New York
each of the old parties will hold state
convention the latter part of this
month, and then everything, every
where, will be in full swing.
October has thirty-one days, and not
one of them will be a day Of rest for
the politicians. Sundays will be thrown
in for good measure.
Let us hope they whoop things up
to the limit. They have the material,
and ought to use it. There are issues
galore. Popular interest seems well
aroused. Everybody with stake in
the game is following developments
with keen concern.
Prophecies are circulating that the
present is the last contest between the
two old parties: that. regardless of
what the coming November may show.
by 1924 a new party, composed Of
former republicans and former demo.
Gratis, will appear and a great tri-
angular tussle for both the presidency
and the Congress take place.
There is no law against prophesying,
and prophets are at liberty to distrib.
ute their outgivings far and wide. The
present situation lends itself to specu
lation.
Such party as is suggested will
have to be a good deal Of party to
count in the 1924 equation. The old
parties are girded for a stif fight this
year, and there is warrant for believ.
ing that even the loser will emerge
with another fight in it. Burying such
organizations for good is far from
being an easy job. The democratic party
has been buried several times, but each
time has managed to scratch out Of
the grave and exhibit q considerable
degree Of life.

MI. Justice Sutherland.

The prompt confirmation without
formal reference of the nomination of
George Sutherland to be an associate
justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States was we'll deserved. The
vote was unanimous.
Senators on both sides of the cham
Der recognized the worthiness OF the
nominee. He had for a period of
twelve years been one Of their num-
Der. They had in that time tested his
qualities as a man, and seen displayed
his equipment as a lawyer and his
Judgment as a high official: and they
knew that after leaving their company
he had served term as president OF
the American Bar Association.
50 that when the President, familiar
as they were with Mr.. Sutherland and
hi. record, named him for one of the
most important judicial posts under
the government the Senate rose as one
man and put it's Endorsement on the
selection.
This is entitled to and should re-
ceive particular consideration at tnls
time, when there is so much clamor
about and against the courts. from
highest to lowest, and the public is
asked to believe that the bench is be-
coming more and more un-American
and an agency of oppression.
The charge is, of course. wholly un.
warranted. and merely marks the dis
turbed state of public feeling, and the
lengths to which under stress and
strain the more eXcitable of our public
men sometimes go in their efforts to
score a point and secure political
BOWER. The courts. as all Of our in
situations are within range OF critl-
cism. but they should not be misrepre-
scented or abused.

Preparing for the Shrine.

A formal visitation by the imperial
potentate Of the Ancient Arabic Order
of Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine definitely
assures the selection of Washington as
the scene of the next national assem-.
blage Of that order in June. Washing
ton was chosen for that honor at a
session at San Francisco last June,
but in accordance with the rules Of
the order it is always requisite for the
national officers to be satisfied of the
ability Of city thus selected to ac-
commodate so large meeting. This
has been done. and now begins the
work Of preparing for the three-day
session Of the Shrine, which involves
about a week of assemblage here. 1t
will be large task. Judging from the
attendance at other Shrine meetings,
and from the particular attractions of
Washington. it is estimated that over
100000 people will come to this city
during the first week in June. To ac-
commodate this vast throng. greater
than those that have attended inaugu-
rations in the past, will call for a
thorough organization and use of all
possible housing facilities. 1t will be
necessary also to increase the fund
now in hand for the entertainment Of
the session. The fund that was raised
last spring was a guarantee Of Wash
ington's willingness to accommodate
the convention, an earnest Of the CAPT
tails good intention in the premises.
But it will not suffice for all the fea-
lures of entertainment that are essen
tial. 1t is planned to make the Wash
ington Shrine meeting notable in the
history Of that organization, and it is
now up to Washington to support it's
reputation as the ideal convention city
and it's prestige for hospitality. The
work Of organization is now we'll start
ed, and during the next nine months it
will be actively pressed.

rally arises. for the performances at
Gersfeld are seemingly contrary to
nature.
Perhaps Curtiss will develop q glid-
Ing plane that will equal the German
machines, but there is another factor
than the plane itself. the pilot. At
Gersfeld 1t was evident that the man
in charge was true master of the
elements. through the development Of
a remarkable sense Of pressures and
air qualities. Yet there is no reason
for encouragement on the score Of
American aviation progress on that
point. for aviators In this country have
proved themselves in the past quite
the equal of those Of other lands.

The Agricultural Interests.

The facmers are much alive. They
have a representative in the cabinet,
and they are now asking representa-
ton on the Federal Reserve Board and
the Tariff Commission. Formal re-
quests have been made.
Agricultural interests are large, and
widely extended. Since the war closed
they have suffered severely, and they
want relief.
Just how much relief the govern
ment can render is a question, and
the Question is developing a great
deal Of discussion.
On the one hand it is asserted that
too much is being expected of the gov
eminent: that all interests are turn
ing to it for favors in the line Of re-
lief and prosperity: that in this way
and under this urge the government
Is dipping into" too many things;
that the people should begin to rely
more on themselves and less on the
government.
On the other hand it is asserted that
the description of the government
of the people. by the people, for the
people-justifies these applications for
relief: that the people in their dis
tresses are, with every right, turning
to the agencies and invoking the
power they have established, and are
entitled to favorable responses to their
appeals.
The agricultural interests have
never been more strongly represented
in Congress than at present. In both
House and Senate they have capable
pleaders, who are constantly on the
Job and familiar with all subjects with
which farmers concern themselves.

American Glider Experiments.

Glenn Curtiss is about to start a
series of experiments in gliding planes,
Of particular interest in view Of the re.
cent demonstrations in France and
Germany. Mr.. Curtiss will follow q
different method Of starting his motor
less machines. Both at Clermont.F Fer.
rand in France and at Gersfeld in Ger.
many the gliders were started off into
the wind from heights. Curtiss pro-
poses to use water planes, and give
l.,sm their start by preliminary tow.
ing. He says that later he hopes to
launch his planes without the aid of
any outside power.
1t will be necessary to go long way
in American gliding work to catch UP
with the German accomplishment or
even those scored in France. The Ger.
man elders have established a most
extraordinary record, remaining in the
air for several hours. without, 30 far

Organized Umpiring.

The American genius for organiza-
ton is manifesting itself in q new field.
The base ball umpires are now or
ganizing. Yesterday q petition was
nled with g New York court for the
incorporation Of the Interstate UNI
pires' Protective Association. For
technical reasons the petition was laid
aside to be perfected In certain details,
but there Is no reason to doubt that it

Traffic Court Congestion.

Demands for jur..' trials. 1t is report
ed, are causing a congestion of the
calendar Of the new Traffic Court. just
as similar demands have congested the
Police Court calendar. The traffic
branch was opened on the 22d OF June,
and since then fifty-two requests for
jury trials have been made. and yes
terday only the second jury case was
tried. There are now seventy-five cases
on the docket. and the congestion
grows daily. The fault. it is stated, is
that those summoned for jury service
do not respond. The issuance Of 200
notices brought only nineteen jurors,
and in order to get the seven more
to make the necessary twenty-six
thirty additional summonses were
sent out and only five men responded.
There is something wrong in this
matter. Jury service is duty of citi-
zenship. But it is a serious incon-
venience to busy people, and there is
no reason to wonder that men who
are qualified by their intelligence and
knowledge of business to serve in this
capacity adopt every possible expedi-
ent to avoid service entailing hours Of
attendance and hearing long-protract-
ed testimony and arguments on trif1ing
issues.
Plainly jury trials in traffic cases
will not serve the purpose Of such a
oo,,rt Ao a r,,Io tho orosfiops at isSue
are simple. Were certain rules vio-
lated? Were established precautions
ignored? The question Of into1icat1on
enters, of course. in some cases. Why
should such matters be referred to a
jury? May there not be framed law
which will establish a court Of this
character competent to administer
justice without the incumbering, de-
laying, congesting feature of jury
trials?
Washington will never have a salts
factory traffic condition until its rules
can be enforced, and those rules will
not be enforced so long as it is pos
sible to evade penalties by forfeiture
OF collateral at station houses, or by
prolongation of cases in the Traffic
Court by demands for jury trial. The
collateral forfeiture evil persists. Out
Of forty-five persons called during the
morning session Of the Traffic Court
yesterday only one responded, the
others FORGETTING a total Of SAB in
collateral deposits, or $40 case. The
collateral must be increased or at
tendance at court compelled. How
would it do for the traffic bureau to
note the record Of forfeitures and to
keep score on individual licenses with
a view to the cancellation Of license
in case Of repeated offense? Surely the
motorist who Is being continually
hailed to the station house for rule
breaking is not deserving Of the right
to drive in the streets of Washington.
