Long Experience Fits
Justice Black for
Duty on Commission

Justice William Harmon Black
suggested a crime study commission
after reading signed editorial by
William Randolph Hearst urging
that the cure for criminality is not
by punishment "but only by educa-
ton and the practical application OF
the principles of Christianity" He
is particularly we'll equipped by
character and experience to serve as
a member of such a commission.
His broad humanitarianism was
given by the spokesman for the
Democratic party as the reason for
his elevation to the bench after he
had served as acting district attor-
ney through much of Joab III. Ban.
tons first term as district attorney.
He was commissioner of accounts
under Mayor Mcclellan and served
later as special deputy attorney
general in the prosecution of the
ice trust. Later he had charge of
litigation against the subway con-
duit companies for the city and
against shipbuilding firms for the
Government.
In the war he was named by
President Wilson. vice chairman of
the National War Labor Board, of
which William Howard Taft and
Frank P. Walsh were joint chair
men.
He is chairman of the board OF
trustees of Calvary Baptist Church.
He is the author of numerous
books, among them an exposure of
Wall Street gambling methods.

WORK SPEEDED
IN CONGRESS
By WILLIAM k. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
Visioning swiftly approaching
primary campaigns, Administration
leaders today began whipping Con-
gress into a mad squirt through
the stretch run OF jammed legis-
lative calendar in the hope of adj
journing June /.
With threats OF night sessions
or an abandoned program, Repub-
Iican leaders conferred efforts on
enacting the $165 100000 public
buildings bill in the Senate before
nightfall They sought to avert
threatened Democratic filibuster
by compromising all differences,
which revolved chiefly around the
powers given Secretary OF the Trea-
sury Mellon to select cities in which
a 500. 100000 fund will be ex-
pended.
With this measure out of the
way, the Senate will consider the
McFadden National Bank act, with
eight other bills, including the
Watson Parker railroad mediation
measure and farm relief legislation,
in the offing..
From the sidelines came cries
meanwhile for early action on the
French debt settlement, the pro-
posaI to lease Muscle Shoals to
the Associated Power Companies
and the Copeland coal control bill,
giving the President authority to
seize the mines in national emer-
gency.
The public buildings bill au-
thorizes a $100,000,000 fund for
erection of buildings wherever
emergencies exist $50 900 900 more
to erect new Government build
ings in the District of Columbia
and SIS ZOO, 900 to complete Federal
buildings, authorized in 1918. but
never erected because cost of, con.
struction exceeded the appropria-
tons.

Mr.. Hearst, having extended an
invitation to me to serve upon
his crime study commission, /
don't see how can very we'll
refuse. AS a good citizen, inter-
ested in the solution of the
greatest and most menacing prob
lem confronting our body polite,
am impelled to grasp the oppor-
tunity for service.
I am an extremely busy man,
what with my duties as SUI
preme Court justice and the
many public undertakings about
which I am vitality concerned.
Although am head Of the
New York committee which is at
tempting to obtain the quota Of
the metropolitan district for the
Stone Mountain Memorial in Geor-
gia TO the eminent sons of the
Confederacy, I would feel myself
deficient in public spiritedness IL
/ did not join with Mr.. Hearst
I'm attempting to solve the crime
problem over which all of us are
SO worried.
I have many suggestions that I
might make to remedy conditions.
Take the case of the man ac-
cused of crime. Who is to de-
fehd him? Oftentimes he is in
nocent Courts should not impose
upon him-certa1nIy he is entitled
to a defense. Law doesn't al
ways make right.
/ think, for instance, that in
case a man has been improperly
accused and he has gone through
the expensive cost Of a trial, he
should be reimbursed by the
State, provided he is proved to be
innocent.
Let US be square with both
sides. If man is guilty, let us
punish him. But if he is innocent
let us protect him against the
heavy penalties which the law
imposes.
The most encouraging thing is
Mr.. Hearst's organization of a
commission to pass upon condi-
tons existing today. am pleased

RUBBER RING
ADVICE

DUBBER rings for home can.
AZ ming food in glass jars must
be purchased new each year, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture. It is being penny
wise and pound foolish to use
rubber rings twice, and jars Of
spoiled instead of sweet canned
foods may be the result Of such
false economy.
The rubber ring is all important
to the alright seal in glass
Jar. The best new rubber rings.
therefore, are none too good for
home canning.
The high temperature of pro-
cessing is hard on them, and to
Withstand it they must be OF good
quality. The simplest test is to
double the rings together and
press the fold with the finger.
The. rubber should not crack
under this treatment. Rings
should also stretch to twice their
length and return without change
OF shape.
