Cannot Check Crime by Re-
/, voking That Law Nor by
Refusing to Pardon Where
Clemency Should Be Ex-
tended Eduction Would
Help-More Inefficiency
Than Technically.

Plea for a more liberal application
of the suspended sentence law and a
campaign of education to check crime
was the keynote of an address dellV'
cred BY Judge II. f. Wilson before
the Academy Of Arts and Sciences al
meeting at the Mengcr Hotel last
Friday night. Judge Wilson warned
against increasing the severity of pun
ishment for crime, pointing out that
the solution lies in preventative meas
ures and not corrective. This could be
accomplished. he asserted, by cam
paign Of education.
"You cannot check crime by reVoN-
ing the suspended sentence law: Judge
Wilson. who had chosen for his sub
iect "The Administration OF the
Criminal Law In Texas, told his
hearers. "Nor can it be done by. re-
fusing to pardon those to whom elem
ency should be extended, and while
the object of the law is to punish
the offender and deter others from
the commission of q like Ottense, a
greater object yet to society Is 10 make
good citizen out of every boy or
girl and TO teach them that no one is
above the law; that it has to be obey
ed by ell alike and should be obeyed
for our mutual security"
Inefficiency Not Technically.
Judge Wilson opened his address By
pointing out that very few people con,
Germ themselves with that branch OF
the law upon which depends our AVes
and our liberties and the protection OF
cur property" Few, he said. stop, 10
consider that this same criminal law

day be applied to them. Elizabeth Fry
Judge Wilson said, brought out TINS
Thought so clearly when she stood be-
fore the King of France and SAID
@Thee hadst better construct thy prls-
ons with the thought always before
thee that thou and thy family may
some day occupy them ="
: Judge Wilson next took issue with
those who so often remark that some
criminal has escaped punishment by
"technicality." What people really
mean. Judge Wilson said, it they are
familiar with the case, is that it was
lack of efficiency upon someone's part.
"For my part Judge Wilson said,
II do not know what is meant by
technicality of the law when the eX-
preston is so applied" explaining that
lawyers necessarily have evolved terms

sumption of innocence, burden Of proof,
reasonable doubt" and similar phrases,
but insisting that these are the only
technicalities.
"when you say that man was
acquitted on a technically" Judge
Wilson said, II challenge you to tell
me what that technically was and ]
can show you that the supposed techni-
cality was n failure on the part of the
prosecution to comply with some rea-
sonable and necessary requirement of
the law"
Put Money Before Safety.
"You will agree with me that the
things we most cherish" Judge Wilson
continued, ARE our lives and our
liberties, yet, because we think they
are not in danger we do not give the
same attention to the administration
of the criminal law that we are az.

recent episode in which President
Harding and Senator Harrison figured

the common run Of men felt inclined
TO shake hands with these gentlemen,
slap each on the shoulder in friendly,
hearty fashion and laugh and chat
with them. Each of these big men

and told the world that he Is a man.

friends for Warren. political differ

their own industry, thrift and morals

plane in the air a few years ago.
Persons in the meeting which COM
planned against the plane can recall
that they had their doubts when
strange fellows said that men several
miles apart would talk over a wire.
There were persons among the COM
plainants who were dazed and skepti-
cal when it was said that messages
would be sent around the world in a
second or so without a wire, and it is
almost a certainty that among the
complainants were persons who said a

sible because it was CONTRARY to the

Of Marion, the Presidents father, at.
tended the Confederate reunion at
New Orleans, and that he made a
strong hit with the old men who wore
the gray. He invited them to hold
their next reunion at Washington, and
suggested that they hold joint re-
union here with the G. A. r. The Star
commended the idea, and said that the
city gates would be flung wide open
to those who wanted to take the city
by force in that dark and bloody period
OF long ago. Senator Harrison wrote
an article in a New Orleans news.
paper which was brimful of good feel
ing for DIR. Harding and his eminent
son. The President wrote to Senator
Harrison saying, among other things:
I'm your capacity as chief party
trouble-maker in the Senate you have
said some things which have made me
lay my newspaper aside and turn to
q fresh pipe Of tobacco for consolation
This very generous article has anti
dotted all the things that have gone
before"
The reference to the pipe strikes
home. If the President had said that
he turned to a fresh Havana for con-
ISOLATION he would not have said as
much. Not by a mouthful. But by
putting in and patting down a fresh
filling for his pipe he touched millions
Of men who do not smoke cigarettes
and who like pipe better than a cigar
or better than some cigars. 1t gives
official recognition to the pipe, and
shows that the Presidents taste is
good, comfortable and homely. We are
apt to get the idea from what we read
that a President always wears frock
coat or a swallowtail. and that he is
too superior person to wear sus-
penders or smoke a pipe. On reading
Senator Harrison's article many men
will say, Pat, you are not as bad and
naughty as you sometimes talk" and
on reading President Harding's letter
q million men will say. Warren, we
are with you"

Teachers Salaries.

A member of the District of Column
bia Public School Association, speak.
ing before parent-teachers' associa-
ton, made a plea for increased salaries
for school teachers and better appro-
priations for the school system in gen.
eral. He used strong and appropriate
words in describing and denouncing
the salaries of school teachers. 1t is
question that has been discussed by
many persons many times. Teachers
salaries are better than they were, but
with the cost of rent, food. clothes and
everything else that a person needs.
excepting newspapers, higher, it is
probably true that teachers are hav-
ing a harder time to make ends meet
than when their salaries were lower.
1t is notorious that the teaching pro-
fession is poorly paid. The Importance
of the school to the nation and the i'm
portance of the teacher TO the school
are admitted, but the admission seems
to bring no better pay. Every now
and then we hear eulogies on teaching
and declare it is all true. but folks
seem TO ssend their enthusiasm for
teachers in applause, gesture and kind
words. 1t Is known that kind words
butter no p1Gssnips and cannot be ex-
changed at The grocery store for ham
and cabbage. If some of the eulogies
and applause could be transformed
into something that would fatten the
pay envelope, teachers would be hap
pier.
Perhaps some time the profession of
teaching will be truly appreciated.
Just now the world is more interested
in other things than teaching or in
learning what school teachers have TO
teach. The world never was so reck
less with its shekeIs, but it does not
pour the lining of its purse into
school teachers lap. We all know
MANY school teachers who are better
looking than movie stars whose names
are written i'll electric lights, and we
a.! know teachers who can act better
than some of the screen ladies, If they
can act at all.
Very. likely if some Of our teachers
would go back on school district No.
y and get a foothold at Hollywood
they would make more money in
minute for doing nothing than they
make now in a month for doing some
thing But there is no probability OF
this. Teachers are born, and they
generally stick to their tasks in spite
Of encouragement and poor pay be-
cause they like teaching and because
they love children.

The Flag.

Patriotic societies continue to lament
what they call the misuse of the
American flag in Washington's dec
orations for Shrine week. Wornen's
patriotic organizations are conspicuous
in criticism of the way the flag is
displayed. distorted. folded and partly
hidden in some of the decorative
some quarters and a number of women
say that the flag is being treated with
disrespect. II would be better if we
had been put through a course of
instruction in flag ethics before begin
ming the work of decorating buildings
and house fronts. but the instruction
we have now received will serve us
well. and the next time Washington
drapes itself for fete the things now
complained of will probably be avoid
ed. The fine points of flag ethics were
unknown to a great majority of men.
1t may be regretted that knowledge
Of this subject was not more general,
but the fact stands. There is so much

impossible to know it all. 1t will be
good lesson TO us and we will know
better next time. At every inaugu-
ration ceremony and on every other
occasion calling for the decoration of
buildings the flag has been used as
it is being used today and so far as
memory serves, there has been no
public criticism. In Washington and
in every other city the flag is fes-
tooned, made into rosettes and so
placed that sometimes the field is on
the left and sometimes on the right.
Persons using the flag in those ways
have erred, not Willingly, but unwit-
tingly. They believed that they were
giving expression to patriotic senti-
ments and these folk. unlearned in
the ethics Of the flag as laid down
by the War Department ought to be
forgiven, and no doubt public opinion
will deal softly with them. After this
celebration We should know just how
to use the flag so that nobody may
criticize or condemn our taste.

Many Complications Are Involved

At the request of this first Earl of

Holland fiourished in wealth and in

childlessness. In fact. the honors and
estates rarely passed from father to
cousin. and then only after much liti-
cation.
Xxx *&
Thus the late Marquis of Breadal-
bane, who played SO great a role at
court in the reign of Queen Victoria,
and who was repeatedly placed at the
head of the royal household, was
born as a commoner. and owed his
succession to the family nonors to
his fathers victory over a rival claim

His younger brother and next heir
predeceased him. And he was aware
that his brothers son was very much

also realized that following his
nephew, the next in the line of sue
cession to the honors would be the
son of the claimant. whom his father
had been characterized by cruel as
pensions and profound resentment.

And now there is a possibility of
fresh complications. For the late
earl, that is to say, the eccentric and
almost entirely unknown nephew and
heir of the marquis. who was sup
posed to be bachelor and who fig
ured as such in all official works Of
reference, has been shown, since his
death, to have been married for the
past seven years. the purely civil union
having been contracted in London. at

The marriage has been proved by

The World Does Move.

Complaint has been made against
the noise Of flying plane. One does
not recall that such a complaint has

Practical Effects of Repeal.

What will be the practical effects in
the state Of New York of the repeal of
the -Mullan-G Gage prohibition enforce
ment law is a consideration likely to
engage attention very soon. Gov.
Smith in his memora ndum on the
signing of the repeal bill. said: Let it
he understood once and for all that
this repeal does not in the slightest
degree lessen the obligation Of peace
officers of the state to enforce in it's
strictest letter the Nolstead act, and
warning TO that effect is herein con-
tanned as coming from the chief execu-
tive of the state of New York" He
then went on to explain that under
repeal the peace officer of the state
will hale the offender into the federal
court, while before he would take him
10 the state court or both.
1t is notorious that under the old
law the state was lax in prosecution
tu point where its negligence was a
public scandal. There may be ques-
ton as TO whether the situation could
be any worse under repeal. But the
governor in his memorandum has laid
stress upon the duty of the federal
government primarily to do the prose
cutting. That was one reason for re-
pealing the law giving the state par
ticipation. 1t is not likely. in these
circumstances, that peace officers will
take note of violations to any extent.
The liquor and restaurant interests
in New York are said to be expecting
great tide of illicit liquors to flow
over the Canadian border and from
the Atlantic coast in constantly in

Gently expressed the opinion that the
Army could not fully protect the

no reason to expect enthusiasm from

So it may reasonably be appre-
hended that liquors of high alcoholic

in and that even poisonous liquors
will be found in the shipments. The
