MISSION has been set for hearing Oc-
tober q before Judge Peters In the
Circuit Court at Rockville.
This is a mandamus on the law
side of the court to test the validity
of the commissions order of July /.
1925, raising the front foot benef1t
charges for water and sewerage
throughout the sanitary district in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties. The Sanitary Commission
filed a demurrer to the petition of
Scrivener, and after a conference
with the court and counsel on the
other side it was concluded that the
questions involved could best be de
termined by an answer. and the COM
mission thereupon withdrew the de-
murrer and was given five days in
which to file it's answer. The case of
Steel of Hyattsville against the COM
mission, which involves the question
of the commissions right to increase
front foot assessment, comes up for
hearing on the equity side of the
docket at Upper Marlboro between
September % and 80 after the court
in St Maryg County has adjourned.

Backing Water

The Nicaraguan situation would
be much more serious than it is but
for the almost certain possibility that
our State Department will back
water
In fact, our State Department has
already begun to back water. 1t is
neutral where it started out to wage
a great fight against bolshevism; it
will treat Diaz and Sacasa exactly
alike, though it has recognized the
first and denounced the second, and
it has no notion of intervening
though it has landed marines and
taken possession OF three ports.
In spite of all this talk about a red
hegemony, Mexican intrigue and the
necessity for protecting the Panama
canal against bolshevistic operations,
you cannot escape the conclusion
that our State Department is merely
making a grand gesture, and that it
won't go much farther than to let
the Nicaraguans know that. no mat
ter what happens, or who wins, big
business must be respected.

New Kind of Ruler

Japan has had 102 Emperors, and
they have been much alike. The 1O3d
promises to be different.
Hirohito is the first of his line to
have played golf. They say his game
is nothing to brag about, but the
spirit that caused him to learn how
promises much for Japan.
He appears to be one of those rare
men who are not bound by tradition.
lie has allowed the people to see him
face to face, to cheer him as a hu.
man being, to recognize him as a
mere mortal, albeit as a well circum.
stanced one.
1t probably took courage for him
to break through customs that have
prevailed for twenty-five centuries.
to dispense with the god-like disguise
which clothed his predecessors and
to walk about like other men.
You can imagine how the family
must have talked, how the sisters
and the cousins and the aunts must
have held up their hands in holy
horror, and how the bewhiskered
guardians of the old regime must
have shuddered at the thought of
such modernism.
The young emperor may have done
some things that will cause his
throne to be less secure and that will
rock japan with the turmoil ~
progress, but he has shown himself
TO be normal and that can hardly
lead to any but good results in the
end.

Baseball in Congress

AS though Congress didn't have
enough trouble already, it is now
threatened with the task of having
to Investigate the latest baseball
scandal.
Baseball has come to play a very
important part in American life, and
its cleanliness may be so essential
to the welfare of the country as to
demand the Governments attention.
A lot of other activities have be.
come very important in American
life, such as the movies, prize fight
ing, college sports, and golf.
If the Government is going to give
it's attention to such matters, the
prospects are that it will have to be
greatly enlarged.
Perhaps, that is what the boys
have in mind. Perhaps, a baseball
investigation appeals to them be-
cause of the field it opens up.

ability of the government to cope with those who
betray it? tt
Joined together, the Jury merely reports that
Stephenson, il he has any documents, did not
produce them.
1t merely serves notice public which had
reason to believe that Stephenson would be in
position to have such documents, if they did exist
that he has changed his mind from that hour when
he sent from his prison cell his declaration that he
could produce evidence Of corruption and graft.
1t says that witnesses it needed have lied and
that others have fled when it wanted them.
1t means only that, and nothing nore-unless
of course you to draw the inevitable inference
that is to be found in the reference to State officials
and classifying them as distinct from others of
less degree.
The suggestion that another grand jury take up
the probe and carry on is not reassurng-unless
perhaps the jury makes clear and public what it
by its final reference to unnamed and
designated conditions which it said existed in its
own jury
If it did that perhaps the next jury might be
safeguarded against the conditions which made this
its only possible report. Unless Judge Collins in
qures, he will not know what those conditions were
which is quite important will the people know
The people could be readily excused if they
begin to lose faith in the grand jury as it operates in
Marion County, investigating body.
They could be excused certain cynicsm about
institutions and ability to meet modern con-
ditions with ancient weapons.
They might even be pessimistic enough to doubt
the ability of people to rule themselves.
But in that pessimism, they would be wrong
For in the end, right always wins There comes a
time when grand juries will not need to refer dimy
to conditions they do not make public.
There comes the time when public sentiment
will make it highly hazardous proceeding for
citizens wanted witnesses to fee the State and re-
fuse to tell the truth
There comes time when those who work their
evil ways will be confronted with so indignant
public that they know that they have courted the
whirlwind of retribution.
There comes time when an enlightened and
awakened public conscience makes service, not
evasion, the badge of citizenship and of public life

and Observation-Disclosures your belief
If you feel urge to convert others to your be-
lief this subject you go about the country
making speeches-and still be a patriot. That is
true, matter which side of the argument you take
and no matter how earnest and excited you may get.
You can write letters, print pamphlets, or books
magazine articles You can bore your family to
death. You can stop friends and strangers on the
street and talk as long as they will listen You can
stand a soap box and deliver Grafton, if you
don't obstruct traffic. You can hire hail.
All this, and still be patriot.
But you can't start street fight with the man
who takes the other view You can't collect lot
of hecklers and break up the other mans meeting.
You can't exert your influence citizen, the
authority of uniform to prevent peaceable organt
cations like the Y M C. A, the University Of Ok
lahoma from hearing the other mans opinion and
passing their judgment it. You can't inter
fere with free speech, so long the other

from sleeping

takes little intelligence to really understand the
United States Constitution in these days when 1t is

But certainly Colonel Lewis living in a country
that, except in time of war, has always set itself

hearty way is no failure. And this
play is no failure. l have the fear
that this comedy will slip out of
town before 1t becomes. generally
known that there Isl ton after ton
of good and merry theater at Eng
lish's. And that is just the reason
that l am going the limit in telling
you to see "Laff That or" because
here is a little theatrical rosebud
which will perfume your face into
garden of smiles. And the theater
is not wrong when it makes one
happy.
The highbrows may say that this
is another "Abie's Irish Rose" be-
cause the audience laughs nearly
all the time and that it's sentiment
may be applesauce. I for one am
for this comedy Of three bachelors
who adopt a girl of the street. Old
stuff, you say, but just wait and
see how the author and this rip roar
ing cast put 1t over the top.
Clarence Oliver as "Remorse" is
one of those wise cracking charac-
ters who has most Of the juicy lines.
And this man knows how to put
his comedy situations over. He is
natural and he takes plain theater
and decorates it as only Christmas
tree can look on a certain Deem
Der day.
Norval Keedwell az Arthur Lindau
is pal No. and William Gargan is
Leo Mitchell. pal No. 3. Both have
different dispositions but they
know that fine art of natural and
honest acting. With the three pals
so spelndidly cast, it is no reason
that the play goes over with such a
bang.
Marion Wells is Peggy Bryant, the
down and out girl who is taken
into" the bachelor place by one of
the boys for a little call and who in
the last act turns out to be a star in
the little flat. Miss Wells is guilty
Of some of the most human and
sweetest cute acting 1 have ever
seen. She is splendid. You will love
her. And l have as much praise
for the slavey work of Pauline
Drake as Emmy who blossoms out
into a beautiful woman. Here is
really great acting, theater and good
lines, but it is the artist that puts
over those lines.
And we have Hattie Foley as Mrs
Connolly. 1 feel like saying bless
her soul. a fine character woman
she is. Jack Matthews is the real
article as Mike Connolly, who drinks
only to be sociable or cure a cold.
