Like many girls thus Sheltered"
she learned of life for herself, since
her parents refused her a guiding
hand. Now she faces the bitter
problem Of finding a way to thwart
fate.
Her parents do not know of her
situation, as yet. When they do,
they will turn her out of the house,
for "disgracing" them, or will rant
about the impossibility of keeping
modern young people out Of trouble.
Had this girl been less Sheltered"
the chances are she would have lived
normal life, for her letter shows
her to be intelligent.
Her parents undoubtedly feel they
have done their duty. But children
cannot be kept from life. So they
should be taught how to meet life's
problems.

Associate Justice McKenna.

The retirement from the bench yes
terday of Associate Justice McKenna
of the United States Supreme Court
marks the passing from public life Of
a man who has rendered distinguished
service to his country and to the
cause of justice and of one who
bridged the period of time from Har-
rison and Mckinley to Harding and
Coolidge. His withdrawal from the
court was marked by unusual cere-
mony in the chamber, attributed, it
was explained, to the affectionate re-
gard in which ne was held by his col
leagues on the bench. The bar at
tested its tribute by rising silently as
the aged jurist stepped with firm
tread from the court.
His public record, outlined by Chief
Justice Taft, was conspicuous by
faithful public service. 1t began in
California. after he was admitted to
the bar in 1865, by being elected twice
district attorney of his county; two
years in the State Legislature, then
to the National House of Representa-
tives. where he was a cotemporary of
Reed, Mckinley and the great stall
wart Republicans Of that era. Induced
by President Harrison to become a
Federal circuit judge, he served for
five years, until President Mckinley
called him to his cabinet as Attorney
General, later appointing him an As
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court.
He served in that tribunal under three
Chief Justices-Fuller, White and
Taft.
So for many years Mr.. McKenna
has been a resident of Washington
and figure in the official and social
life of the National Capital. He will
be a cherished and respected figure
in this community as long as he
chooses to remain here.

A Closed Season for Bass.

Anglers who enjoy, or rather who
used to enjoy, fishing in the upper
Potomac River for that widely dis
tributed and popular game fish, the
small-mouthed black bass, should, and
probably will, welcome the proposal
for a three-year closed season in those
waters in order to enable the sadly de-
pleted stock to make a comeback.

sport in favorite waters for such a

Better bass waters than the upper
reaches of the Potomac would be
hard to find, this notwithstanding the
fact that bass were not found native
there, but were implanted. For years
they have been the mecca of local
fishermen, but Of late years expert
anglers have come home without fish

The New Associate Justice.

Nomination Of Attorney General
Harlan F. Stone to be an associate JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court to fill the
vacancy created by the resignation of
Justice McKenna causes surprise, in
asmuch as the selection is not from
the same section of the country as the
retiring justice. 1t has been the prac-
tice heretofore to consider geographic
cal factors in making selections for
the Supreme Court. Mr.. Stone is from
New York, and his predecessor on the
bench is from California.
In the course of his brief service of
less than year at the head of the
Department of Justice Mr.. Stone has
given proof of the possession Of en-
inent legal ability. He entered that
department in conditions of great diff.
ficulty, and has administered it's work
80 Capably as to warrant the belief
that his transfer to the bench will be
fully justified in his service there.
Now in his SD year, Mr.. Stone is com.
paratively a young man for the high.
est judicial service. This fact, how.
ever, is not to his disadvantage. It as.
sures, assuming confirmation Of the
appointment, the presence on the
bench of one likely to serve a long
period, which is highly desirable.

VITAL THEMES
"WOMAN GOVERNORS
VS.. PARTY POLITICS."
BY CARRIE CHAPMAN GAIT,
President International Woman
Suffrage Alliance.

Wyoming was the first State in the
entire world to grant full suffrage to
women, which she confidently did in
1869 and has boldly defended her act
ever since. Where women have voted
for SO years a woman governor might
well be expected to emerge, but even
Wyoming is cautious in the midst of
her progressive standards. The State
is normally Republican and no Dem
ocrat gets a sniff at the political plum
tree unless Republicans fall out.
A Democratic governor chanced to
be presiding over the State October l,
1924. On October the entire State
was shocked to learn of his sudden
death. The Democrats promptly NOM
mated his widow for the vacant can
didature. The Republicans. with po-
litical hearts softened by the tragedy,
as confidently elected her a month
later. However, they cannily saw to
1t that the State was not turned over
to the Democratic party. They elect
ed a Republican Legislature and the
entire staff of State officers with the
sole exception of the governor.
The deceased Gov. Ross had a
pet hobby-the so-called severance
tax" whatever that may be, and this
had been submitted to the voters in
the form Of constitutional amend
ment. That was showed under. An
other of his strong policies was oppo-
sition to plan of carrying certain
moneys in permanent funds. This
plan was carried by large vote.
Wyoming has honored a woman
who, both parties agree. is a fine, in
telligent type, but they have so ef-
fectually tied her hands that she
will do no harm to the Republicans
and give no advantage to the Demo-
Gratis. Mrs. Ferguson Is the Gov
ernor of Texas. At the Democratic
convention of 1915 Gov. Ferguson
presented a minority woman suffrage
report from the resolutions commit
tee and in his speech announced that
he opposed the enfranchisement of
women because it was contrary to
the Bible and to Gods will. He de-
clared that the home was the sole
sphere to which God had consigned
| women, and that the man was the
head OF the house and the woman
owed obedience to him Eight years
later when the Supreme Court de-
olared him ineligible to the governor
ship he turned a dizzying mental
handspring and led forth the ex-
celient woman, who. according to his
| theories, had been consigned to the
| four walls Of her home by Gods will
and therein owed him complete
| obedience, and introduced her to the
people of Texas as his candidate for
| governor.
The election of Mrs Ferguson
came naturally enough Texas being
one party State makes up for the
usual bipartisan conflict through
/ two primaries. In the first one all
| candidates are free to run and there
| were so many that the anti-Fergu-
| son opposition was much divided.
| The two candidates emerging were
| Mrs Ferguson and a candidate of
! the Ku Klux Klan. Many develop
| ments in Texas had aroused an
enormous opposition to the Klan and
the people, therefore, defeated the
Khan candidate. leaving Mrs. Fergu-

of the first lessons in character de
velopment is that clean hands make
for a clean mind and a clean body
both of which are essential to right
living and right thinking.
School work is dirty work. Books
are shabby and accumulate dust which
will not wipe off with a cloth. Black.
boards are dusty and chalk has dry
ing and irritating effect upon the skin.
Paper lint and lead filings also add
agreeable and possibly dangerous sur
face soil.
But now comes the injunction that
hands must stay dirty, or be washed
means the patient, long-suffering
teacher. How can the beautiful
theory of personal cleanliness be
demonstrated in practice when the
means for it's application are all but
denied?" The same question filters
into the young mind that is grasping
for effects and causes. Why tell them
today to be clean and tomorrow deny
them the privilege of washing soiled
hands by failing to furnish the facili.
ties for keeping them clean?
Psychology has been applied to per-
sons of all ages in all phases of social,
industrial, educational and professional
life to determine reactions to new ex.
periments and old conditions. The
toned, and the young genius now in
process of development should surely
be guaranteed the privilege Of clean
hands.

Collateral in Traffic Cases.

In his statement before the joint
District committee conference on the
proposed local traffic law. Judge w
Bruce Cobb of New York urged the
adoption here Of the summons sys-
tenn in cases of traffic violation, which
is now in use in his city. The col
lateral system, he said, should be
case where collateral is forfeited a
bench warrant is issued.
The taking OF collateral is one of the
present evils of the local traffic situa-
ton. Violators OF the traffic rules and
of the laws are allowed to forfeit, and
thus escape penalty other than the
amount of money taken from them at
the station houses as security for their
appearance. In great number of
cases these Violators never go to court
Only when the more serious charges
are laid against them are bench war
rants issued to require their appear
ance before the Judge for trial. Those
who forfeit regard the amount thus
abandoned as tantamount to a fine.
They are in many instances induced
to forfeit collateral because of the long
delays at the traffic court and the loss
of time from business.
With more judges, whether sitting
definitely as a traffic court or merely
assigned to that branch of the work
as part Of the Police Court routine,
these delays would be lessened If not
altogether avoided. There would be
then no warrant whatever in allowing
violators to forfeit collateral to spare
them the inconvenience and loss of
business time Of going before the
court for trial.
If it were definitely established that
every person arrested, even though re-
leased on collateral bail immediat tely,
would have to appear in court for trial
and perhaps to be more heavily fined
than the amount of the collateral, the
enforcement Of traffic rules would be
less difficult. The habit of obedience
to the regulations would become more
fixed.
In the present conditions, however,
it is idle to attempt to hale to court
every violator placed under arrest.
The court cannot cope with all the
cases as it is now constituted. A veri-
table traffic court, or a traffic branch
of the Police Court, must be estab-
lished to insure a full clearance of
each days calendar under a non
forfeiture law.
It was also suggested in the course of
yesterdays session OF the joint COM
mittee that more discretion be given
to traffic policemen in the matter of
making arrests, that they should be
instructed to warn and admonish in
many instances where now arrests
are made in cases Of trifiing infrac-
tions of the rules. There is merit in
this suggestion. Most Of the minor
traffic violations are the result Of in
advertence, ignorance OF the rule or
misfortune due to peculiar conditions.
The serious violations are the result
of deliberate disregard Of the law or a
spirit Of recklessness and indifference
to public safety, or perhaps Of incom-
petence. It is cases Of that character
which should be taken to court, while
the less grievous offenders should be
warned, though with notation, per-
haps, Of their identity to permit a de-
termination Of whether breaking

Coolidge and the Farmers.

President Coolidge's address yester-
day to the Council of Cooperative
Marketing Associations will furnish
but cold comfort TO those misrepre-
sentatives of the American farmer
who have been trying to do the
Lorelei act with promises of Govern
ment price-txing of farm products
and other seductive schemes for rural
prosperity through legislative enact
ment. 1t was an address full Of hard
common sense, and hard common
sense is about the most effective
weapon which can be employed against
the panacea peddlers.
Cooperative marketing has long
been urged by all well informed and
sincere agricultural economists as the
farmers one best bet for bettering his
condition, but it has been like q red
nag in the faces of proponents of the
McNary-Haugen bill and kindred get
rlch-quick farm-relief programs. They
have contended that it is impossible
Tor the farmers to cooperate, that
both economically and temperamentalIy
they are untitled for associated en-
deavor. President Coolidge took hold
of this favorite argument of the Nc
Nary-Haugenites, and when he got
through with it it looked like the
proverbial 80 cents. He started way
back at the starting place, where two
men learned that by uniting their ef-
forts they could roll a larger stone
than one man could alone, and showed
that since that remote day all human
progress has been the result of CO.
operation. And his hearers saw how
absurd it was, in the light of this ex-
position of human history, to argue
that twentieth century American
farmers, the most enlightened agricuI.
tural producers the world ever has
known, were incapable of cooperative
endeavor.
But the President, convinced as he
is that cooperative marketing is the
way to enduring prosperity, would not
have farmers think that it promises
an overnight revolution in their eco
nomic status. He told them they ought
to adopt cooperation as a principle,
not as a panacea, and also that their
cooperative undertakings must be
built from the bottom up, not from
the top down. He effectively demolished
the notion that the Government or
philanthropies or Providence could
hand them an elaborate scheme of
cooperative marketing, abundantly
financed, with nothing for the farmer
to do but rake in the profits. Were it
possible to devise such a scheme it
would be an unstable structure, be-
cause the necessary foundation of in
dividual endeavor would be lacking.
The essential difference between
President Coolidge and some Of the
professional friends of the farmer" is
that the President bares realities to
view and talks sense, while the latter
produce a pipe with an invitation to
smoke up and dream dreams.
