to give Italy honest, if autocratic
government. furnishes additional evil
dence that with all of it's short COM
ings a constitutional government is
greatly to be desired" The circum-
stances. the Miami News Metropolis
holds will serve as a warning to the
enemies that they had better not
trifle with the premier or with the
Fascist" for "Mussolini made it quite
apparent that he would not tolerate
ment."
x X *
Yet the Springfield News argues
that "a crisis will be precipitated in
the event of any untoward circum-
stances which may develop" for,
Italy at the present moment may be
characterized as volcano, with the
fire smoldering at the base and ready
to break loose at the slightest provo
cation"
Despite reassurinE statements the
Scranton Republican agrees "the
critical period has not passed. for the
success of the premier in meeting a
trying situation may be negatived by
some spontaneous explosion of sentf-
ment which, it is plain to see, every
one fears" The Liberals and the
Conservatives, the Flint Journal
points out, ARE quite as eager as the
Radicals to encompass his defeat. and
the force by which he usurped ad-
ministration and transcribed the or
ganic law is no longer feared" and
the Sioux City Journal concludes one
thing is certain, that she will have to
prove that he stands for honesty in
government and justice toward the
people, or he will fall-it is only in
Russia that tyrants are not thrown

Sane Fourth.

The Fourth was we'll celebrated, and
leaves happy memories and few re.
grets. There were some automobile
accidents, but no more than usually
happen on a bright Sunday or other
holiday, and they cannot justly be
charged against the Fourth of July.
There were a few fires, but the turn.
out of the engines did not exceed the
daily average. A few arrests were
made for shooting imported toy pistols
and firecrackers, but nothing sensa.
tional in that way is reported. From
the whole country have 80 far come
reports Of only two Fourth Of July
fatalities. whereas few years ago the
tragedy list was long and the figures
were Jumped as statistics. The new.
fashioned Fourth Is safer and more
orderly than the old-fashioned.
A large proportion of Washington's
population passed the day. or part Of

can afford to drop one or-two contests.
All the minor professional clubs, the

Police Conduct.

Washington's police force bears an
excellent reputation for efficiency.
Though small in numbers it has been
mendable. The Capital has been proud
| of the organization as a whole and of
the personnel of the force. But hap
| penings that have lately come to at.
tention lead The Star to question
whether this standard of efficiency is
| being maintained. whether the police
are as scrupulous as they should be
in observing the proper attitude toward
the community, toward all law-abiding
citizens.
The case that gives rise to this ques-
ton may be simply stated. A reporter
for The Star engaged in the discharge
of his duty attended fire yesterday,
and on approaching a point where a
public advance into the fire-fghting
area was roughly, even brutally,
thrown back before he could establish
his identity and right Of presence, and
upon his protest and further attempt
to identify himself was seized, arrest
ed. hustled into a patrol wagon and
taken to the station house, being sub
jected in transit to a vile verbal at
tack. The charge stands against him
and will be heard in court, with
further proceedings calculated to de-
termine the right Of a member of the
police force to assault a citizen who
has committed no offense.
This case is cited, and will be
pressed. because The Star knows the
circumstances to be as stated, knows
the character of the victim and is con-
vinced that the occasion has come for
a thorough hearing to ascertain
whether such conduct on the part of
the policemen is justified by those in
authority and whether it is character
istic.
Nor is this the only case of the kind
of recent happening. Other instances
have come to attention of overbearing,
domineering and even brutal behavior
on the part Of members Of the police
preservation of the peace, have them
selves broken the peace by their ac.
ton and their language. The difficulty
in these cases arises from the fact
that the victims have no witnesses. In
this particular case, fortunately, there
are witnesses.
1t may be that only a very few mem.
bers of the police force have so mis-.
construed their functions and RESPONSE
bilities as to adopt this attitude. But
whether there are few or many they
should be either corrected in their con-
ception of their duty or eliminated
from the force. 1t is to bring about
such a reformation that The Star pro-
poses to press this case to a conclusion
and to insist that those who command
and supervise the police department
of the District insure a change of at
titude on the part of every member of
the force toward law-observing. peace
ful, we'll behaved citizens.

Educators on Elgrimages.

The National Education Associat ton
brought it's sixty-second convention to
a close with patriotic pilgrimages,
and large groups OF teachers and
school officers have been visiting his
toric places in. or near Washington. At
each of those places! fitting exercises
were held yesterday. The historic
places to which the pilgrimages have
been made wererchosen some time ago
by committees charged with making
plans for the convention. The pill
grimage feature Of the education
meeting has been praised, and thou
sands Of persons from all parts of the
country have been getting a breath
of the historic atmosphere of this
part of the country. The teachers
held exercises at the Tomb of the Un.
known, at Lincoln Memorial, at the
tomb OF Woodrow Wilson, at the
Washington Monument, Memorial Con-
tinental Hall. American Red Cross
building. Walter Reed Hospital and at
the home Of Frederick Douglass. In
the Washington region exercises were
held at Thomas Jefferson's home and
in the national cemetery at Gettys-
