Cluttcred Courts

The courts justified in seeking relief from

tenton to such should properly come be-
fore them. In the instance Of the lower courts, the
machinery Of the law has not kept pace with the
panding needs, and, also, prohibition has filled them
to Overlooking, with lists Of untred that would
keep them busy for months, if not years, to come
The state and federal courts also suffer with
plus of improper cases, but perhaps their greatest
difficulty is in being swamped with deugc Of de
tail that quite properly might be performed by
clerical departments.
Chief Justice Taft stressed this fact in an appeal
before the house committee immigration, recent
ly in favoring bill to relieve federal courts of dc.
tail attending Naturalization He stated that in
some cities Judges were required to give up much
time to naturalization proceedings TO create a
stoppagc Of every other class of business and that in
many instances this had resulted in delaying action
in important criminal Clearly, this is inter
fcring with the efficient working of the courts to
dangerous degree.
Z If the process of naturalization is not proper

The courts of the country should not, under any cir

The "Thrill Killers"

A little more than year ago Nathan Leopold and
Richard Loeb, thrill Killers held sway in the lime
light.
Hundreds of thousands of lines printed about
these two mlonarcs' of Chicago brilliant col
lege students, who hacked little Bobby Franks to
death "to know how it feels to be murderer
Thousands Of flashlights exploded as cameras re-
corded every move Of the thrill killers. That 4
year ago
Just day or SO ago of the thrill killers, Ma
than Leopold, again appeared in the limelight, a
most inconspicuous limclight. He appeared as Il
witness for but moment in the Staying case Of a
Joliet deputy warden.
Report has it that blinking from cell darkness, he
pleased to again be on the witness chair crowds
surgng for brief glimpse of the notorious slayer.
Unsuitable for fame, even the fame Of a murderer,
these two. One wonders if shaving at rocks alone
in those dark fetd cells, knowing that outside thos
stone walls other youth is playing and working and
loving, they find the game worth the candle.

Editorial Comment
A Radio Commission?
THE jamestown Sun)

The average citizen who does his own thinking will
not be inclined to be enthusiastic about the proposal
at Washington to the supervision of radio
commission Of five members, with salaries of $780,
900 year each and all the usual frils of sep.
arate government bureau. Given that kind of star:
such bureau would doubtless be costing the
government much as II department did a third of
a century ago.
1t is generally agreed that tho radio situation has
been satisfactorily handled up to this time by the
Department of Commerce under Secretary Hoover
There is basis for the suspicion that radio has beer

any individual or element. It is business propo.

enlargement of American business

the speaker always gets warm welcome from his
hearers In view Of this tendency away from bur-
eaucracy it is difficult to see how another new COM

from the country at large.

America is toward abolishing most of the commits

Military Training

: 1t is an unequivocal sign Of degeneratng man
hood when it can be seriously suggested that COM
-pulsory military training in colleges be prohibited
by law 1t is positive indication of weakening
Of masculine fibre Of loss Of pride in correct
rage, good muscles, good craftsmanship, and other
direct and indirect benefits of military training.
. But the most potent result of military training is
the discipline it teaches. learns to obey,
-and he learns to command, he acquires an alert
mind, healthy body and the erect posture that
marks good soldier
4 Let the anarchists and communists rave against
slntary training to their hearts content-and well
may they rave, for they know that military trained
IMAM realizes the value Of discipline, in governmental
as we'll as private life, and they know that the man
with military training is less likely to become en-
thusiastic for any government other than the one
which we already possess. The man with military
training has q mind unclouded by radical "isms .
He thinks clearly, along straight line, and is poor
game for those who would upset the present social
sorder.

The originator Of the Boy Scout movement, Sir
Robert Baden Powell, "Chef Scout Of the World "
would, of course. have been expected to laud the
movement which he himself originated, as he did at
the recent annual meeting of the National Council
in Washington. Yet Sir Robert was more than JUS
titled in the high measure of praise which he be-
slowed upon the scout organization when he de
clared that it represented a great power for world
peace in future years.
As to the future, Sir Robert may be right, but it
pleases u.s. i'll passing to say something now aboul
the great and splendid work which the Boy Scout
movement has and is accomplishing. Without doubt
1t is of the greatest constructive forces working
in the ranks Of the younger generation Of America
and the world today. Carrying it's message of fair
play, patriotism and honor into the recreation time
OF boys Of the impressonablc age the scout move
mcnt molds these youths into pattern of manhood
seldom equalled by any other agency and never OK
ccllcd. Other agencies accomplish good work, bu:
no other program besides the scout program APP
peals to the boys love of fun, to his shrewd ntui-
tive sense Of values and his desire for plcasurcable
companionshp.
: This splendid work, however, ags. Not because
of lack of interest on the part Of the boysbut be-
Of lack Of interest the part of parents, cdu
Gators and school authorities. There is a des-
peratc need for qualified scoutmasers, commissions
ers and other officials from the ranks of the citi
zenry necessary to the proper coordination Of the
!! scout work On one hand the grown person of TO-
day critcizcs the wild" tendencies of modern youth
but the other hand holds aloof from constructive
work which would serve in great measure to offset
the very tendency he deplores
The boy scout movement is splendid, vital force
working day and night toward the bettermcnt of tht
world. 1t deserves universal encouragement and
support.

The public, Of course, has very definite idea OF
what chorus girl is and the description is some
what as follows: bleachcd hair, painted faces. few
clothes and less morals. This impression, though
very general, is entirely erroneous. since the great
majority of chorus girls are decent, self-rcspecting
girls who either have ambitions to elevate them
selves in the theatrical profession to capitalize
whatever good looks and talent they have in the
earning of an honest living.
The club idea will have the enthusiastic support
Of these girls, who form such large majority of
the theatrical profession and certainly it should
elicit not only the abstract approval Of the general
public but the actual constructive approval Of fin
ancial aid. 1t has every appearance Of a worthy
cause.

Running Down the Town

If you had horse that you wanted to SELL YOU
would not go about town talking constantly about its
bad points. If you did, you wouldn't be likely to
sell it, What would you think of a merchant who
made practice of standing out in front of his store
telling all passers that his goods were shoddy and
not worth much? You would probably say he is a
fool and you would be right. Now. the town in
which you live is your own; your business is here
your job is here, your property is here. Do you
think you are going to make your business any bet
ter or add to the value of your property by standing
around and roaring about what rotten town it is
If you do, you'd better see an alenist about you,
mental condition. AS matter Of fact every time
you run down" your town, you are hurting your
own business and detractng from the value of your
property. Even though you may have no pride ir
your community, you ought to have sense cnoug!
not to injure your own interests. Every bushes:
concern in addition to stock of goods and plant
has intangible assets Of the greatest value Among
the assets is its good namc its reputation for
dealing, When you hurt the good name Of such
concern, you injure it more than You would if 20,
should burn down its plant. Besides its business
and industrial institutions its homes schools and al
other kinds Of property, every town has intangib,
