Crime and the Law.

New York grand jury on the eve
of discharge for the term has handed
up presentment calling for speedy
trials and for extreme sentences for
ex-convicts found guilty of assaulting
or Staying policemen, and urging the
authorities to hold lawyers defending
criminals to strict accountability"
for unprofessional conduct in delay
ing TRAILS. Noting the considerable
time which, under existing laws,
elapses between conviction and the
determination of appeals, the grand
jury commends to favorable consid-
Grafton the advisability of amending
the laws to conform them to the sys-
tenn relating to appeals in criminal
cases prevailing in England, which in
that jurisdiction has served to reduce
the time between conviction and the
determination of appeal to an aver
age period of two months.
Undoubtedly this presentment touch
es the root of the evil of legal delay
in this country and consequently one
of the causes of crime prevalence. In
practice, in most of the States, and
under the Federal jurisdiction as well,
the criminal laws and practice favor
the aw-breaker rather than the COM
munity. Trials are protracted need
lessly. Appeals are taken on tech
nicalities and drag their way through
the higher courts. Appellate courts,
partly through congestion and partly
through habit. are dilatory in render
ing decisions. Counsel for the de-
PENDANTS take advantage of every
chance to effect delay.
1t is the theory of the law that
lawyers are officers of the court,
sworn to promote justice. 1t is the
fact, however. that many of them,
especially those engaged in criminal
practice, use the law and the courts
to defeat justice. In the large cities
Of this country are numerous men,
bers of the bar who are practically
accessories to crime through their
StratagemS of defense, their resort 10
delay and technical eXpedients to pre-
vent the trial or the punishment OF
those who are undoubtedly guilty of
gross offenses.
Crime commissions have studied this
question and in their conclusions have
almost uniformly found that the
chief cause of lawbreaking in this
country lies in the ineffectiveness of
the judicial procedure. This is no
new finding that the New York grand
jury has just rendered. 1t has been
long recognized, and yet no action is
taken. How long will this continue?
Are the criminal class and its coadju-
tor and accessory, the unethical
criminal lawyer, forever to dominate
and preserve the system of judicial
procedure which breeds and fosters
crime in America?

Channel Conquered by the Crawl.

While much chagrin is felt in Eng
land over the fact that no British
swimmer has crossed the Channel this
year, praise is given TO the methods of
the three swimmers Of other nation
alities who have not only made the
crossing, but have established new
records. w. J. Howcroft, the British
Olympic coach. has pointed out that
the American woman swimmers, both
the two winners and the two who
failed, are products of modern instruc-
tional methods and employ modern
racing strokes. Whereas in the past
almost all Channel swimmers have
relied on the breast. side and trudgeon
stroke, now the crawl stroke has been
adopted by all four of the American
women, two who have made their goal
and two who have nearly succeeded.
This stroke requires skillful training,
and II is that element which this critic
believes has led to the exceptional
achievement of 1926. Vierkoetter, the
German who made the swim in twelve
hours and forty three minutes, is not
an American training product. but he
used the crawl stroke which, it may
be stated, had its origin in an Aus
tralian innovation Of swimming style.
While the specific modes of training
and of stroking in the swim may have
been the main factors in etfecting
such a remarkable success this year
over the Channel, it is TO be borne in
mind that study Of the currents of
that great stream has played large

No Market on the Mall!

A proposal that the farmers mar
ket, which is to be displaced from its
present site on r street to make room
for the new Internal Revenue Build
ing, be located temporarily in the Mall
between Sixth and Seventh streets
will not win favor from those who
look for the early solution of the mar
ket problem. Such a move would be
makeshift, and, in View of the expert
ence already had with other so-called
temporary occupations of the Mall in
emergencies, it would be decidedly I'M
desirable.
1t is easy to turn to the public res
ervationS for temporary" use, but it
Is hard to end such Il trespass upon
the park space. During the war ITEM
porary' buildings were erected in the
parks for Government use and they
are still there, in use. though decay
ing, unsightly and dangerous. If the
farmers market were put on the
SiXth-Seventh streets section of the
Mall to meet the present emergency,
It would probably stay there for a
long time. The urgency of removal
would not be felt. Delay would occur
in the solution of the question of its
hnal establishment. Congress, stressed
with other matters. would not feel the
o need of immediate action. That tres
pass would be tolerated for season
0F
time it became necessary to remove
Center Market from its present site
and locate it elsewhere, to make room
for further building improvements.
A question has arisen whether the
removal of the farmers market can
be effected without specific legislation
Much doubt prevails as to the legal
requirements in this respect. Is the
law which authorizes the Commits
sioners to designate a certain space
for this use mandatory or only per-
missive? Does it govern as against
the authorization given by Congress
to the Public Building Commission to
locate Government structures? Final
decision on these points mas not Vet
been rendered. Meanwhile comes the
suggestion that instead of pushing the
farmers market over on the Mall, to
the east of Center Market. the build
ing work be started on the western
half of the proposed site, already
owned by the Government. with the
farmers market allowed to remain
on the eastern half of its present site.
Such a solution would be much
more satisfactory than the shift to
the Mall. 1t would then be compul-
sorry for Congress to act promptly in
designation of a new site for the open
air market, to permit the continuation
Of the building operations. Action on
the whole market question would prob
ably follow in short order.

THINK 1T OVER
Useful Lawyers.
By William Mather LetUis,
President George Washington University

Do lawyers mean much to the COM
munity outside of their strictly pro-
fessional work? This question is
answered in the report Of a committee
headed by Elihu Root: 1.-The law is
public profession by which, more
than by any other profession, the
economic life and the Government of
the country are nodded. The pro-
portion Of lawyers in Legislative bodies
greatly exceeds the proportion Of
lawyers in the whole population. In
executive Office they are more
numerous than are the followers of
any other profession or occupation.
OF course. all men in judicial office
are lawyers. And last but of great
| Importance, is the influence Of lawyers
as practicing attorneys in helping to
shape the course of judicial decisions
and to draft statutory and constitu-
tional provisions which vitality affect
i the law"
| If this statement fairly states the
case, and there are few who will
question 1t, then we should exercise
great care in admitting men to the
bar. They should have broad general
education, including a knowledge Of
| history, economics and political
science. Few State laws today de-
| mand proper educational qualifica-
lions for those who are to practice
law. The standards are far below
those set for men who enter the pro-
fession of medicine. And still the
| lawyers hold our economic and
government welfare in their hands,
| just as truly as the doctors hold our
| physical welfare. The lawyer who is
to serve his community adequately
and with lasting personal success
must have something more than in
tensive professional training. He
must have a background of knowledge
which will enable him to attack
economic and government problems
with sound judgment.

One day recently we found our
friend, Templeton Jones, well known
man about town, very much enthused
over a mOmenous discovery which ne
had just made.
IF you will present this to your
readers" he said, confidentially, Il am
sure it will help them a lot. just as
it has me. You have such high
class group Of readers, with such open
minds.'
Jones' eyes cleaned with such a
philanthropic light, and his kindly
"apple sauce" registered so well, that
we agreed to do it.
Templeton's great secret has to do
with the discovery of sure and ef-
fective mode toward living happy
life. All of us want to do that, no
matter how much we may differ in
other ways. So Jones said, and we
agreed with him.
In daily life, he said, one learns to
do his work in the easiest and there,
fore the best, possible way. Short
cuts are sought in business, and
necessarily, although never at the
expense of proper methods.
In living, Jones believes, there are
certain mental short cuts, as 1t were
which help a manor woman, either
for that matter-toward the goal of a
happy life. Boiled down, Jones dis
covery is simply this:
Never give advice.

most people is to be allowed to live

Money is something that everybody
understands, so far as individual or
family needs are concerned The
mystery surrounding it lies in the
fact that so much power should lie
in something which in its concrete
representation can only be something
vegetable, as paper. or animal or me-
tallic, as shells for the primitive and
gold for the highly civilized. 1t is
in simple social interchange a certifi-
cate or token of obligation recog-
nized and discharged for useful goods
or services. The goods and services
are the real value. The mere accu-
mutation of money without these is
but an empty magnificence, as King

Public Taste for Romance
Seen i'm Valentino Worship

The fading of Rudolph Valentino
from the silver screen of life has re-
vealed how intimately he was known
to his public, even though the vast
majority had never seen him in real
life. Regret at his passing has about
1t a particularly close and personal
quality and this quality is reflected
in much of the newspaper comment
so far as there Is any aristocracy
of the screen, Valentino belonged to
1t. He was not only a leader, but he
showed the way" says the Santa Rosa
PresS-Democrat, as declaring that
Valentines productions were con-
stantly better and more artistic; it
expresses sincere regret that "he could
not have been spared to show what
he really could do for the perfection
Of a. great industry that admittedly is
still in Its infancy, artistically at
least" Balanced against this opinion
is that of the Fargo Forum, which
contends that valentino was not a
great actor. He was not an especially
good one. His talent for pantomime
was mediocre, but he had a screen
personality that was potent and direc-
tors were quick to recognize it,

entino had physical beauty, to be sure
but he had brilliancy and that neees-

ing Valentino with a radiant per.
sonality." Continuing, the Eagles
opinion is that "he gained his sue.
cess, above all, because in appearance
and in manner of action he was the
part he played. He could make the
emotions and passions of youth vivid
to millions of persons, who lived these
emotions vicariously through him."
The secret of his success the
Charleston Evening Post finds in 1.-The
particular character of the roles he
filed, to the romance and imagina-
ton and unattainableness of the stu
atoms he so realistically represented"
The Davenport Democrat and Leader
calls him the greatest lover of the
film world" while the Baltimore Sun
pictures him as having been 1.-The fairy
prince of other days. He did not
need to hold the, mirror up to life, "
declares the Sun; "he had the job of
rejecting life as the incurably roman
tic want 1t to be, and his reward was
a tribute Of cash and alteration he
yond the requirements of any man.
He won because he played up super
excellently to the yearnings Of
America"
Rejecting upon Valentines passing,
the San Francisco Bulletin remarks:
"Contrasted with the crude and b-u-
tai, romance gives better direction to
thought and feeling. 1t doesn't last
against the roughness of reality. but
it helps little while il does last. And
it is sad to think" concludes the Bull
