PROMPT JUSTICE.

Justice of the kind which it is believed
the situation requires appears to have
been dealt out in the case of Luther Bod
dy, charged with the cold-blooded muir
der Of two policemen in sight of the New
York police station to which he was be-
ing taken.
Boldly was not denied the trial to
which he was entitled and in every par
ticular his rights were protected, but the
evidence was against him and the ca
reer which he has been living was bound
sooner or later to reach such an ending
as is indicated by his being found guilty
Of murder.
1t is unfortunate in the interest of law
and order that cases of that character
are not handled with then same speed as
has been this one, and this is especially
the case in states where there is not in
clined to be as much liberation for de-
lay as there is in New York and some
other commonwealth
There may have been features Of the
Boldly case which made it possible FOR
an earlier trial than might have beer
warranted in some other cases because
the facts appeared to be so clearly es-
tablished but 1t is too frequently the
case that delay follows delay in al
kinds of criminal cases and the impress,
sion is gained that even the authorities
are not doing their duty in the admin.

CUTTING AIR MAIL SERVICE.

When the lower house of congress
eliminated the appropriation for the con-
tinuaEce of the airplane mail service it
is evident that It did not act with the
idea Of Gripping the postal service. Not
for the purpose Of economy would II
have refused to provide for It's contan-
uance had It been convinced that there
was being furnished an aid to the deliv-
cry Of mail that was an advantage and
that was really needed.
1t is pointed out that aside from such
assistance as 1t rendered in the handling
of mail 1t was possible for such service
to have an important influences upon the
advancement of commercial aviation and
also to aid in the development of the n.y.
ing machine for any possible need that
might arise in case of war
That such Is possible and probable
will have to be admitted but along the
same line 1t might be maintained that
the utilization Of submarines for get
ting mail to certain points would aid il
the development of that type of craft
for use in case of trouble.
In the elimination of the appropria-
ton for the continuance of the air mai
carriers the house apparently takes tbs
view that such is not needed for the eff
icient handling of the mail and as far a.
the service that has been rendered il
concerned no sacrifice would be made
in getting along without it while tn
money could be better employed, in othe
directions. The idea Of the house seem
to be that sirplahe mail service is no
worth what it costs, and just now Uncl
Sam hasn't money to throw away.

a bit hard to describe their mouths. Per-
haps the best way to say it is that their
mouths are literally. as wen as fgura-
lively, loose. The muscles controlling the
expression of the mouth appear to be
loose or fiabby. And it's a fact that they
are. Have you ever realized to what ex-
tent you control your emotions by con-
trolling your expression of it? And since
the mouth betrays emotion probably
more quickly than any other feature, it
follows that the habit of controlling
thought and emotion very closely paraI-
lels the habit of controlling the muscles
of the mouth. Lack of control over those
muscles is a very strong indication of
lack of control over thought. In short
it's an indication Of very self induigent
