MccoNNELL'S INDICTMENT

NyfiE Federal Grand Jury's indictment OF
q William G.. Mcconnell, former prohioi.
ton director in this State. proves that the
essential machinery of justice can still op-
crate in spite Of all the monkey -wrenches
with which grafters and crooks In politics
are accustomed to attack it. The question
in most minds will be whether. If full justice
wsre done, the Grand Jury would not have
zone further and wider and deeper than
Il did.
It may yet be asked to do so. For the
effect Of the remarkable address delivered
yesterday before the City Club By T. Henry
walnut will be to involve District Attorney
Osiss and the Attorney Generals Office at
Washington. morally at least, IN the scandal
that grew out Of McConnell's administration
Of the prohibition directors office.
Even when this newspaper first disclosed
the schemes of obstruction devised to save
Mcconnell and the system of political In
reference which caused Mr.. Walnut TO be
ousted from the Federal Building, where he
was ready to proceed with his expose before
the Grand Jury, no one imagined that the
conspiracy between politicians and boot
leegers was as extensive as it now appears
% be.
The spectacle of United States District
Attorney shutting between Philadelphia ana
Washington and laboring apparently to OBJ
struct laws which he is sworn to enforce
win startle even the people Of this general
resion, to whom the law breaking politicians
are no novelty.
Mr.. Walnut deserves the gratitude Of the
eommunity. He has displayed admirable
eourage, not so much as q champion OF
Volsteadism, but as a public official deter
mined to maintain at any cost the dignity
Of Federal law.

A FIRE HOUSE FOR LOGAN

A 1T is customary to walt until the horse
"A is stolen before locking the barn door,
Il may now be expected that irehouse will
b built in Logan.
When a church there caught fire no engine
arrived on the scene until eighteen minutes
after the alarm was rung. This was not
because of any dilatoriness on the part OF
the hremen, but because they had TO run
their engine long way to get to the fire.
II there had been an engine within a
reasonable distance the loss by the fire might
have been much less. The residents of the
nsighborhood have long been calling atten-
tion to the lack of protection, but the City
Council has been Indifferent. They have had
no IRE there and there Is no need Of haste
Vas the way the Councilmen reasoned, If

FRUITS OF LOCAL HABlTATloN

AS WAS to have been expected, the
"A favorable consequences of giving to airy
nothing a local habitation and name are
eunpha sized in the practical progress of the
fair undertaking following swiftly upon the
definite selection of the site.
! President Harding has been enabled 10 ad-
dress Congress specifically. His appeal for
legislative sanction of the Sesqui centennial
is cordial and direct. His contention that
the exposition will exhibit 1.-THE advantages
Of peaceful and friendly intercourse and
remind all mankind that its greater achieve
nents are along the ways Of peace Is an
>stimate with which Phladephians will
agree.
I. It Is not the novelty Of the idea, but the
Official stamp whichait now acquires from
the pen of the Chief Magistrate which rep
rssents a distinct advance for the enterprise.
II is hardly to be doubted that Congress will
eventually respond with a suitable appro-
priation for project which is pre-eminently
national In scope.
The outlines Of further gain to the faiI
which may be traced directly to the ldentif-
cation of its site are discernibe in Andrew
Wright Crawford's suggestion Of the impor-
tation for exhibition purposes Of the art
masterpieces of European museums and
gallsries. Mr.. Crawford believes that the
Louvre, for instance, would be willing to
lend the "Mona Lisa" the Winged VIC
tory" and the Venus de Milo when as

nitely implies approval for the series of de-
pendent compacts. Precedent. in which the
Senate delights, supports such constructive
action.
The truth is that most Of the opposition
to the treaty has been spurious. Demo-
cratic fuminations have been partisan. The

that of wanton trouble making. have not

One Of those conditions is that the paintings
should remain in the house.
As but a small part Of the building Will

extension of Naudain street. there will re-
main the question whether the house can
still be used as a safe place In which to
exhibit the paintings. As there are agrees

TNHERE is no pretense that the passage Of

thing but a political trick
A special rule was made for its consid-
GRAFTON limiting debate to four hours and
prohibiting amendments. If there had been
any sincere belief that the bonus plan set
forth in the bill was to be carried out. the
House would have taken time to consider
1t. But the Representatives had pledged
themselves to vote for Bonus Bill They
were afraid to SO back to their districts
without fulfilling the pledge. They have
voted and now they are clear on the record.
The franker men among them are. saying
that they are confident that the Senate will
not pass the bill. If they had expected the
senate 10 pass it they would have insisted
on different kind Of measure.
