Make 1t Stick, or Recant

IvTH liz United States today faces one or the
most serious crises in all its history in
the Far East
The Orient has gone back twenty-five
years. The old, exploiting powers in China are
at it again. Now as then, they are moving
heaven and earth to force us in with them,
or to force us out
Events have reached the point, therefore,
where we must either vigorously reassert our
twenty fve-year-ol policy of the open door IN
China, or ingloriously be booted out of the
country.
The news from Swampscott indicates Pres
ident Coolidge intends to stand by China and
the open door.
And Secretary of State Kellogg, after a
conference with the President, is quoted by the
United Press along much the same lines. Our
policy, he declared, may be said to be scru-
pulous observance of the obligations to China
entered into at the Washington conference and
the insistence that the government of China
take adequate measures for the protection of
foreigners and to carry out her responsibilities
under the treaties -
This, too, though a trife ambiguous,
SOuuCtS as CuOuSu OocI6CdIy OI OIdU6 III
tends to live up to the doctrine of his illustri-
GUS predecessor John Hay, and the open door.
What are "the obligations entered into at
the Washington conferenceY" Briefly these:
l. "To respect the sovereignty, the indie
pendence and the territorial and administra-
tive integrity of China, and
2. "To provide the fullest and most I'M
embarrassed opportunity to China to develop
and maintain for herself an effective and sta
BILE government"
"The scrupulous observance by the for
eign ~powers of these obligations would 60 a
long way toward putting China on her feet.
But unfortunately just at present the unscru-
pulous fouting of them is threatening not only
the peace of China, but of the whole far East
The Washington pact of 1922 is but re-
phrasing of the Hay doctrine of the open door
OF 1900 Thus we are in honor doubly bound to
a very definite China policy.
Bluntly, America must find way to make
the open door stick open else publicly recant
and take an international humiliation

PkETY BY
JUDICIAL. DECREE

JUDGE LOCKYEAR. of the
Evansville Qnd) juvenile
LIZ cours yesterday sentenced
an 11-year-old lad to one years
regular attendance at Sunday
school. The boy had stolen a
horse.
Probably the judge preens him
self over his wise disposal of the
case, and considers the judgment
rendered worthy of Solomon at his
best.
Perhaps in this instance it is.
The delinquent lad is young
enough to be susceptible to moral
suasion. Enforced Sunday school
attendance may reform him-but
usually obligatory piety by
judicial decree accomplishes little.
Frequently some judge SEN
fences a miscreant to church or
Sunday school attendance under
the hallucination hat grimy
character can thus easily be made
pure as snow. But coercive
plunges into sanctity won't achieve
that result. Internal desire not
external compulsion must reform
character.
Usually the offenders so sem
fenced don't terminate a moral
pin-feather. Probably their wings
would sprout as quickly If they
were sentenced to stand on one
foot on a street corner and wiggle
their ears.
To most offenders incarceration
in Jail will prove fully as effective
in intoxicating moral precepts and
in influencing them to reform as
obligatory church attendance.

POLICE AND
POLITICS

~7AN O'BRIEN, San Fran
I'D cisco police chief, now in
- Indianapolis for the police
chiefs convention, believes that d
police department should be on a
civil service basis entirely out Of
politics. For the past sixteen
years the San Francisco depart
ment has been on that basis.
Last year the Golden Gate city
had twenty-five murders. During
1924 Indianapolis-with about half
the population of San Francisco
had more than twice as many
homicides.
Yet Indianapolis is a peaceful
Hoosier community while San
Francisco is a world port where
lawless rogues from the seven
seas mingle and brawl. Not many
years ago no city in the country
possessed a more evil reputation
for lawlessness.
In British cities. which are ad-
mirably policed, they also have
the quaint idea that police duties
have to do with law and order
not politics. The "bobbie" never
circulates a petition, hustles a
vote, or performs other functions
so characteristic of Indianapolis
policemen.
In all England and Wales-w:th
a population Of $4,000, 000-there
were only flfty-eight murders and
flfty-one robberies last year. Less
than in Indianapolis. Yet during
that year there was more un-
employment, liquor and other
crime stimulants to the square
inch in England and Wales than
ever existed in the Hoosier
metropolis.
Perhaps there is something to
the system Of divorcing the police
departments from politics. In
dianapohs might try it for
change.

The experiment showed that the
motion existed. Now the calcu la-
tons will show the exact direction

This experiment, many readers
will recall; obtained great notice
when the result was first announced

That was because it upset that
part of the Einstein theory, which
said that you couldn't detect any
motion through the ether, and that
therefore there was no such thing as
absolute motion.

Offices are crowded. space must he

In fact it is a typical specimen
of American public architecture as
expressed in our State capitols and

American commercial architec-
ture is unrivalled. Banks, office
buildings and factories are de-
signed to afford the workers they
house every facility and con-
venience to expedite transaction of
business. Utility is not sacrificed
for mere ornateness.
But we still build our public
edifices to resemble Greek temples
or Roman baths. They are monu-
ments not workshops. They are
crowned with soaring domes and
bonds and are Thanked with noble
pillars. Within are noble cobwebs,
gloom, and an air redolent with
past ages.
Buildings influence the state of
mind of their occupants. Perhaps
if our public buildings were mod
ernized there would be greater eff
cheney. Public business might
step forward brisky instead of am
bling with the slow, stately stride
Of classical antiquity.

in the world is an alarm clock.

BY whom and when was Iceland
discovered?
Iceland was not visited by
Europeans, as far as is known, un-
til the end of the eighth century
when some Celts landed on the
islands; but it's history really dates
from about $40 when various Morse
men discovered it chiefly by acct
dent. One Of these, Floh VII
gertharson, gave it its present name.
When was Quebec, Canada, first
occupied and by whom?
In 1884 Jacques Cartier landed on
the Gaspe coast of, Quebec, of which
he took possession in the name of
Francis I. King of France. How
ever, nothing was done toward the
permanent occupation and settle
ment of Quebec until 1908, when
Samuel de Champlain, who had
visited the country in 1903 and 1904,
founded the city.
What are the duties and work of
a justice Of the peace?
He is a local magistrate with
powers partly administrative, partly
judicial. In the United States JUS
tees Of the peace exercise extensive
powers of investigating crimes, and
committing suspected persons to
prison. They are also generally en-
powered to try small cases, civil and
criminal. In some States they are
created by executive appointment; in
others by popular election.
