Gov. Hardwick's Defeat.

previously he had done in the sena.

This primary result in Georgia may
disarrange some calculations as to
1924 in that state. There was expecta-
tion that a second tenn as governor
would bring Mr.. Hardwick into the
tussle with Mr.. Harris. But in the
light of this defeat that hardly seems
likely. .''
Still, you never can tell. 1t is par.

"a beautiful blond slip of girl with
blue eyes" Or any other, a slip or
an armful.
There may be such a thing as
standard of beauty in statuary or
postage stamps or kitchen stoves.
There is apparently none when 1t
comes to humans. Racial taste varies
as widely as the color of skins and
the curliness Of hair. Between ma
tions there are divergences beyond
explaining.
All of which is an admirable de-
sign of nature to make US contented
with our lot, no doubt. If Italians
could abide only very tall, flaxen-
haired blondes, and the French must
have their beauty long and solemn,
and the English could not eat break.

The Additional Judges.

The increase by twenty-five Of the
number Of federal judges IL a welcome
and important matter at this time.
There is a good deal Of business to be
taken care Of. Litigation in volume
has grown out Of the war. and the
volume is likely to grow larger for
some time to come.
The bench, federal or state. should
never be short. There should always
be judges enough to give prompt at
tention to all business presented.
This has not been the case for years.
Complaints OF congested dockets have
often been heard and efforts made to
remedy the trouble.
At last we have action as to the fed.
eral bench. 1t may not be sufficient,
but it is a start, and warrants the
hope that if still more Judges are nee
essary they will be provided from time
to time as the need is demonstrated.
1.-THE laws delay" is an old and IA
nous phrase, and has often been ac-
counted an evil with many ramifica-
tions. 1t has even been pleaded as a
left.handed justification for lynchings.
Some apologists for mobs have char
acterized the mob spirit as an impa-
tience on the part Of excitable people
with the slow because crowded proc
esses OF the courts. Prompter trials
and the melting out Of justice would.
they have asserted, put an end to that
sort of lawlessness.
1t is a good and fit time to say that
the salaries Of all federal judges
should be raised. They are among the
poorest paid Of our public servants.

Terror at Smyrna.

The expected has happened at
Smyrna. The city is in flames, and ir-
regular Turkish troops are said to be
firing on the terror.stricken people.
All who can are fleeing the city. but
fifteen naturalized Americans are re.
ported to be missing and beyond doubt
many foreigners as well as natives will
be massacred.
Earlier reports of the splendid be.
havior of Turkish troops occupying
the city were too good to be true. 1t is
not the way of the Turk to refrain
from arson and pillage and murder
and rapine. He is direct actionist Of
the first water, and his creed Is to put
his foes to the sword. regardless of
age or sex, imploring the blessings OF
Allah upon the deed.
Had the Turks refrained from the
usual savagery at Smyrna it would
have been more than passing strange.
for 1t is charged that when the Greeks
occupied the city three years ago more
than 5000 Moslems were massacred.
In that land Of undying religious
hatreds it was to be expected that
when their turn came the Turks would
exact terrible vengeance. and when
the full story is in from Smyrna it is
probable that expectation will have
been more than realized.
The orgy, of bloodshed is one to
shock and sicken a world not yet re.
covered from the horrors of the war
in Europe. but what most appals Is
the utter sepselessness and useless
ness Of it all. Had there been states
manship and courage in the councils
of the great powers there would be no
ousies and selfishness made it impos.
sibIe to deal with the Turks and the
Greeks with the sanity and firmness
which would have kept the peace. On
the contrary, to serve nationalistic
ambitions, sparks were kindled which
burst into flame and then grew to be
a c5fflagration which the powers
were unable to control when they
awoke to the perils involved.
SO far as the western world is able
to judge there is little to choose as
between the Greeks and Turks. On
both sides there are sordidness and de-
pravity. and the war in which they are
engaged is common nuisance to man.
kind. So long as they confine their
killings to each other civilization is
not greatly loser, sbut unfortunately
the more numerous victims of the
slaughter are bound to be those who
are innocent of the quarrel.

The Herriu Horror.

The Herrin nsssacre capped the
climax Of long series Of bloody deeds.
1t contained features which "lynching
bees" elsewhere had lacked. 1t WAS
calculated, and cold.blooded in the
execution, almost beyond belief. The

enormous amount Of business they
must transact; the necessity of their
remaining close to base for long
periods of time imposed upon them by
the long sessions Of Congress, regular
