breaker has occasion now to question
whether there is a protecting conges.
ton in the court. This case will serve
as an example Of how speedy justice
may be when the conditions are IA
vorable. The defendant did not de-
mand a jury trial and now he is
under sentence Of sixty days in Jail
on one charge and fine Of $500 or
an additional sixty days IN Jail on q
second charge. If he docs not appeal
and prolong the case he must serve
two and perhaps four months.
1t is stated that the professional
race gamblers are quietly resuming
operations, after a vacation lapse in
duced by the renewed activity Of the
police following the exposure by The
Star Of the prevalence Of this form Of
lawbreaking. This is to be expected.
They are a persistent crowd, these
"bookies." They know when to lie
low and how to cover their tracks
when the pursuit Is hot. and when
to open up. But eventually they must
operate openly, else the game ia not
worth the candle. Then is when they

The way to break UP this game is
to apply prison sentences, as in the

The Maine Figures,

Maine votes Monday. The repub.
licans are expecting victory. The dem
ocrats are almost conceding it. The
poll figures will be searched closely
for signs and portents. Both parties
will bring their strongest. glasses to
bear on them.
The figures Of two years ago will
afford no proper means Of comparison.
Then everything was in the scale, the
presidency and the Congress together.
Then what was called Wisconsin was
the paramount issue and the voters,
In overwhelming numbers, showed by
their ballots that, for the present at
least, they were tired of it.
The result, using Theodore Roose.
velt's picturesque word. was a cork
err" The republicans swept every
thing into their sack. Indeed, as many
political observers now believe, they
filled their sack too full. They have
been plagued these eighteen months
just passed with a top-heavy majority
in Congress and a resultant factionism
playing the deuce with their legisla.
tive plans and peace of mind.
The combination that won in 1920
has, to nobody's surprise. gone to
pieces. 1t could not hold together
through a second campaign. 1t was
not desirable that 1t should. Both
parties and the country had something
to gain by a return to party nor
malcy.
= The tremendous spur of a presiden-
tial contest Is absent this year. With
out it what will the pollings show?
and what bearing will they have on
1924. when, again, everything will be
in the scale and everybody on their
toes?

Jailed for Speeding.

Convicted three times running for
speeding. a motor driver has been
actually sent to Jail in Washington.
The case deserves special notice, for
this is the first time speeder has
been Jailed. AS q matter Of fact, the
records show that this driver has been
ARRESTED nine times since January Is
last, at the rate Of more frequently
than once a month. He has, however,
-heAn convicted only three times, pre-
sumably FORGETTING collateral on the
other six occasions. The first convic-
ton brought fine Of SO, the second
q fine Of SIS and the third a fine Of
$50 and thirty-day Jail term. with
thirty days more II the fine Is not paid.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Cause of Calamity.

The Cause of Calamity.
The building that was reared so high
Came to the earth, as time passed by,
Though many men had toiled with care
A mighty structure to prepare.
Some CRATER saw a chance to rob.
Somebody didn't know his job.
An empire dwindled from the map.
A battle plan met dire mishap.
A lofty philanthropic scheme
Proved nothing but an idle dream,
And Hope, sincere, said with a sob,
Somebody didn't know his job"
Some day no man will dare to shirk,
AS each performs his proper work.
Inspired by faith and common sense,
Scorning to favor dull pretense.
And hearts in happiness will throb
When everybody knows his job.
