That's Not Our Idea

a WRITER in n current weekly maya
"a zine suggests that colleges should
not have beautiful eampuses and clois-
tered halls Instead, he says. they should
be in the city slums so the students can
'see life" and not develop any rosy ilu-
sions about it.
Personally, we prefer the campus of
Washington university, with its columns
and stately new library. And then again,
we have no SlumS, to speak of, in which
our boys and girls may "see life" And
yet again, we don't know that we're
anxious for our boys and girls TO see
that kind of life
II all depends on what you want your
colleges to do One theory is that a
college is supposed to give lad enough
of taste of beauty and cultured leisure
that they will stay by him and sweeten
his life after he gets out into the world.

A Sad, Sad Matter

CALIFORNIA is having most un-
~ beautiful disagreement with her
most beautiful girl and it is warn
ing to all other states to pay some at
tention to the girls disposition, when
picking the choicest peach from the tree
of pulchritude.
The sponsors" of Miss California"
offer her $500 worth of costumes and
a special train loaded with fruits and
flowers, to distribute on her triumphal
journey to Atlantic City. but they re-
quire that, after she has put all the
other states Misses" in the also-ran
class, she shall engage in no employment
reflecting upon the dignity" of Cali
fornia, such as posing for hosiery or
corset ads.
Miss California" can pose in hosiery.
or corset, or both, or anything else or
nothing else to make Atlantic City's eyes
ache, but she'll be darned if she will agree
not to do so.
A compromise is being attempted, and
the nation had better hold its breath
until its results are announced.

Prisons Filled I'm

TN 1918 there were 800 prisoners in
i McNeiPs island; the last department
of justice report gives the prison popu-
lation as els.
Other federal prisons show even worse
records. Atlanta housed 1000 II years
ago; now it guards 3,25S. Leavenworth's
population has grown from 200 to 1924.
The federal prison population in II
years has almost tripled.
Meantime. what has been happening
elsewhere? The department of COM
merce has just issued a report furnished
by the United States consul in London
on Great Britain's prisons
More than 20 prisons in England
and Wales" says this report, practically
a third of the total, have been closed
since 1914. There are now only 40
prisons in use in the country and these
are by no means fully occupied"
Opponents of the Volstead act are
quick to point out that England is a
wet country. They charge the increase
in crime, as well as the increased prison
population, up to the effort to impose
this law on the American people.
There may be something in this, or
there may not be. But the contrast
between what is happening in Great
Britain and what is happening in America
is worth very serious thought.

A SEATTLE lawyer writes The Star to
" express his displeasure with our
efforts to give justice an overhaul" In
reply TO our suggestion that our endless
and ambiguous legal code" ought to be re-
written and Simplified, he writes;
admit we have share Of ambiguous laws.
The fault i not that of the courts lawyers;
IL has for it, remedy the election Of Legislators
capable Of properly drafting their acts.
In the personnel of state legislatures,
lawyers almost invariably preponderate in
numbers over any other calling. and invari-
ably they preponderate in influence. Law
years minds conceive many of the laws
lawyers voices turn the balance in pass
ing most of them, and lawyers hands
write all of them. Lawyers at the bar
argue laws, and lawyers on the bench
interpret them.
Responsibility for the structure of law
IS one which most lawyers are proud to
claim. With this responsibility must go
responsibility for the laws defects,
That is why The Star addressed its
remarks to the learned bench and bar.
Lay off the lawyers and try telling
Henry Ford how TO build flivvers," adds
our lawyer correspondent.
Which may be good advice, and may not,
Personally. we'd rather continue on rs we
are, trying as best we can to rectify some
of the flivvers that have been made in the
network of laws with which we are sur
rounded.

A Trip to Victoria

CTRANGE how customs change. We've
~ been looking thru old files of The
Star. Conventions came TO see Puget
Sound in those days. too-but, strangely
enough, none of them ever took side
trip to Victoria.
Nowadays convention in Seattle
without a trip to Victoria is as rare as
a day in June-or even more so. Every
body goes there, including sheriffs and
police and the state bar association-to
say nothing of the foreign trade con-
ventions.
The attraction at Victoria. of course, is
the magnificent British Columbia scenery
Victoria's efforts in selling the
scenery seem to have achieved one Of
the outstanding community successes of
the century.

Appraise VALLEY Car Lines

DAlNlER Valley residents have asked
IN the city council to appoint COM
mittee to get fair valuation of the
Rainier Valley car line system.
They propose that the city appoint one
member. the company appoint the second,
and that these two appoint the third.
The city council should accede to this
petition at once.
Before Seattle buys this system-if it
is going to buy tits citizens have a
right to know what it is worth. They
have right to have fair appraisal
made by an unbiased committee.
There is considerable suspicion that the
present price - something more than
S1,200,000-is too high. A committee
that was onto its job wouldn't take long
to find out the truth of the matter.
