The constitutional Amendment Election

i is desirable, of course to secure The fullest
expression on laws that are submitted to the people
but we think it is questionable whether the sub
mission OF the constitutional amendments at the
primary instead Of the general election win pro-
duce such expression The reason given for choos
ing the primaries was that then the amendments
would be less likely to become political issues We
do not think that, in any event. they would become
party issues The Democratic party it has already
been demonstrated, is divided concerning them.
They are generally favored by the conservative
Democrats and they generally opposed by the
radical element.
There are many Republicans who opposed TO
them but not violently but we suppose the great
majority of the Republicans favor them but without
great deal Of enthusiasm. There is we are sure
Tar more interest taken by for and against
the direct primary amendment than is felt by Re
publicans.
The prevailing attitude of the Republicans toward
the amendments is one of greater or less apathy
They would probably vote in a majority for the
amendments if they should be the polls on pri-
mary day. but Arizona Republicans are notorious
for absentng themselves from the primary. And
when consider how comparatively few votes
cast submitted measures at general elections,
can hardly expect that many voters viii be drawn
to the polls especially to vote them.
There is little prospect now Of any contest in the
Republican primary. The Republicans have had but
one contest since the direct primary instituted
That was in the Clark Cameron campaign of 1920
la the absence OF contest in the primary next fall,
think that only handful of the Republicans will
then be present that the fate of the amendments
win be determined by Democratic fight in which
the Republicans will play but small part.
The amendments wil doubt, throw a great

in each of half dozen American cities there are
every year homicides than in the whole of
France?
Almost everyone who has listened to American

of peace and public service are to be
entered on the records of marines
alongside the entries for service in
war and equal credit is to be given
for each, according to a new policy
outlined in a recent order OF Mai.
Gen. John a. Lejeune, commandant
of the marine corps.
The order relates to the members
Ok the marine corps who took part
in the perilous work of rescuing the
imprisoned and injured at the Knick-
erbocker theater disaster and directs
that a commendatory notation SINH
lar to the marking of credit given for
participating in battle be entered in
the service record book of every ma
rine who participated in the work of
rescue. Prior to this time such credi.
has been given only for service in
battles, skirlnishes, campaigns and
other warliko enterprises.
The decision of the marine corps 10
award credit equal 10 battle credit
for the hazardous and heroic service
in peace of the men who took part in
the work Of rescue at the Knicker-
booker is a continuation of the policy
of the marine corps adopted about a
year ago by which it was determined
ludl dlIlOSt as great service cOuld De
rendered to the American public, by
marines during peace time as during
war.
According to General Lejeune, this
policy is based on a theory which
has seldom Deen considered in con-
nection with the military service.
namely, that the marine corps exists
not only to serve the nation in war
but 10 constitute reserve Of edu-
Gated. trained. technical men ready
to come TO the aid Of the country ia
any manner in which their services
may be needed in emergencies of
peace. At the same time it is his

Service Credits For Peace Victories

1 in the mission of the corps is to ad-
minister it's affairs so efficiently and
| economically that its cost may not be
heavy public burden.
Surprising Results Already
! Since the summer of 1920, when a
beginning was made toward putting
this theory into practice, results have
been obtained which have surprised
and delighted even its warmest sup
porters. The practice Of placing the
marines in all localities at the service
Of the community in every emergency
has enabled them to be OF service IN
multitude OF manners and instances
and has built for the corps a reputa-
| ton for peace time usefulness which
has rendered it in public opinion
more than ever an indispensable ad-
junct of the government. During this
I period also efficiencies have been in
troduced and economies put into ef-
feet which have cut the cost TO the
government of maintaining the ma
rine corps. per man, TO less than half
| the sum formerly necessary.
An apt illustration OF the manner
in which the corps new policy has
put all marines ION their toes" to
serve the nation whenever needed. is
furnished in the happenings of the
collapse OF the knickerbocker theater.
The roof of the Inflated building fell

authority or orders from anyone,
Colonel Rhea sent orderlies dashing
through barracks and sQuadrooms
with orders TO turn all men out, and

French and American Criminal system.


A contemporary who is imagine opposed to
capital punishment, who regards crime mis-
fortune rather than fault, says that the French
.Bluebeard" Landru, charged with the murder of
several women. not fairly tried
what we suppose is meant is that he not
tried BY the American method in that he de-
prived Of those technicalities which interpose
always for the benefit of the accused These techni
calties with certain maudlin sympathy which pre-
walls in this country and believe, nowhere else
prevent us from hanging one cold d-booded murderer
in hundred
1t is true that Landru could not have been con-
victed in an American court the evidence which
took him TO the guillotne but do not think that
there is anywhere any moral doubt that he was the
murderer OF these Our contemporary con-
trasts the two systems in this way:
I'm France, they have the Napoleonic criminal
code BY it. the accused is presumed guilty until
he proves himself innocent.
In America a defendant is presumed innocent
until proved guilty. In giving presumed criminal
the benefit of the doubt go as far as to say
that his wife cannot be made to testify against him.
we go further and decree that anything CON
nded in a professional capacity to his attorney
physician or clergy cannot be admitted as legal
conyicting evidence.
.rbs is the rule throughout the whole Of the
North American continent, except in the province OF
onaaec Canada. Like France, Quebec has the
Napoleonc criminal code
But is ours the best? What is served by saving
. criminal from the damning evidence Of his wife?
VII, IN the interest of justice which believe is
b object of trials may we not learn what the physi-
alan the attorney the clergyman knows about the
aoseo And why do we warn the accused criminal
aist making an admission that may assist justice?

er,ent of them is to punish crime and so to deter
