which were two innocent sisters of mercy at
tached to one of the hospitals One Of the
sisters, much loved in the national capital, was
killed
Thereupon two arguments were made.
One was that the police had no right to violate
one law in order to enforce another; that there
was no justification for speeding through the
streets of Washington at sixty miles an hour,
thus jeopardi1ng the lives of entirely innocent
citizens, in order to capture lawless bootleg
Gers
The other argument was that if the police
hadn't chased the bootleggers at high speed
the law violators would have escaped and the
killing of an innocent sister of mercy was de-
plorable, of course, but still the Volstead act
must be enforced
A similar argument occurred some time
ago when officers of the law, chasing bootleg
gers fred at the bootleggers, hit a United
States Senator instead and sent him to the
hospital for several months.
But that argument WASH t settled Proba-
bly, this one won't be. 1t is an ordinary thing
for policemen to shoot and kill offenders who
are trying to escape when even if captured the
worst that the law could have done was to
put the offenders in prison for few months
The policeman applied capital punishment
But in the Washington case an entirely
innocent woman was killed. What s the an
swer? Is it better that an innocent by-
stander be killed than that worthless boot
logger escape PRISON. Or is it better that ten
bootleggers escape than that one innocent and
useful life be sacrifced2

the death rate has dropped almost
40 per cent in twelve years. In
typhoid fever the death rate has
been cut to one-sixth in twenty
years, and this former killer will soon
be as much a thing Of the past as
yellow fever and plague. In twenty
four American cities typhoid has
been cut from between 40 and 60
deaths per 100000 down to 8, and
in IS cities dow to 2. Last year
two cities-Hartford and Fall City,
Mass.-had no typhoid deaths.
Tuberculosis. which used to top
the list as a death dealer. has
dropped to fourth place in twelve
years. Now heart trouble heads the
list.
Infant mortality has responded
amazingly to the health campaigns.
In New York City it has been cut
in half in twenty years. Between
1900 and 1920 the death rates from
diarrhea and enteritis has decreased
from $50 per 1000 10 81.
There is much yet to be done.
We know little about cancer or
whooping cough or measles, and
there is no simple cure for T. B.
The diseases of middle-life are also
taking great toll. and child-bearing
is still a dangerous occupation But
the greatest toll of life today is be-
ing taken by accidents, particularly
auto accidents"

TOO MUCH
DEMOCRACY

TUDGE l.. A. DAUSMAN of
L the Indiana Appellate
IL Court, in an address the
other day. declared the present
State constitution is fun of the
spirit of populism. He thinks
judges and law enforcement Of
ficers should not be elected by
popular vote.
Perhaps we suffer from too much
democracy. The old theory that
the cure for the ills of democracy
is more democracy has conspicu-
ously failed at times. One OF its
failures. maybe. is popular cleo
ton Of judges.
Judges, in this State. are ele-
waited to the bench because they
are vote getters and politicians not
necessarily legal luminaries. Con-
sequently they are sometimes in
competent and totally untitled
temperamentally for the place.
AS a result pure justice gets be-
draggled.
Federal judges on the other
hand are appointed for life. Po-
litical considerations enter largely
into their choice. Frequently they
become arbitrary despots before
whom pure justice quails.
Neither system is perfect.
1t would be nice if Providence
would fashion judges by a special
act of creation or if science would
evolve them from a chunk of jelly.
fish. But so far neither Provi.
dence nor evolutionists show any
activity in the matter. Judges re-
main disgustingly human.
AS long as they must be chosen
from defective human material
probably popular election is as
good a method as any. If democ-
racy doesn't get good public Of
ficials, executive. legislative and
judicial. it is its own fault, and
it doesn't deserve better.

thing besides pad expense account.
Hero, of Alexander, invented a
steam engine hundred years be-
fore Christ. He didn't "sell' his
idea to the public or practical men
and it was forgotten. Contrast
that with the invention of the
automobile. Within thirty years
after the first American gas
buggy gasped on the streets Of
Kokomo automobiles eat out Of
every hand. Salesmanship large
ly made possible the development
of the automobile industry.
If Hero had called in g. few

age might have been FASTENED by
a couple of thousand years. Caesar
might have crossed the Rubicon in

Lord Leverhulme, ore of Eng

who recently died, was from first
to last a salesman. He started
life selling soap. At his death
he controlled a 10000. 900 indus

industrial towns and furnished
steady employment for $4,000 con.
tented workers. All built on in

Salesmanship, properly applied,
is not wasteful. II aids economic
distribution. But the average man

LOOKING THEM OVER
AT THE LYRIC

Snappy dancing, tuneful music
and some good comedy feature the
act of Hughes and Burke at the
Lyric this week. The woman is one
of the lightest dancers on her toes
that I have seen in vaudeville for
some time.
The act opens with a toe dance
man and the girl and then the plan
list gives us some real music. The
next number, a tap dance by the
man was a perfect example of grace
and rhythm.
Although every one does not like
the music Of the Hawaiian guitar
there are many who are devotees o.
it's plaintive melody. J)nia s
Hawaiians have all that can De de-
sired in this brand of entertainment.
The best part Of the act however are
the speciality numbers put on by a
man with a guitar and some other
instrument. the last named must
have been some creation of his own
for / do not remember having seen
/, one before.
Foster and Ray have their own
brand of fun in little sketch which
is alive with smart dialogue. The
song done under the purple spot
was the best.
Joe De Lier with the aid Of his
piano accordion and a girl in a box
furnishes some very pleasant enter
tainment.
Willie Karbe and Sister, the act isA
mostly Willie, give some real thrills
in feats Of balancing. The best was,

No law can be devised that will
