The New JERSEY Murder.

Indictment of four persons for the
Hall Mills murder in New Jersey four
years ago concludes the first stage of
the revival of that notorious crime,
which at the time seemed unsolvable.
Two of those indicted We're originally
suspected. Two others were not then
involved in any discussion of the trag-
edy. The testimony upon which in
dictments have been returned COM
prises mainly that Of one of the wit
nesses in the original hearings, a
woman of peculiar character Her
story, which in 1922 seemed fantastic,
appears now to have been verified by
other evidence which has been elected
with difficulty from persons who for
one reason and another refrained from
appearing to tell what they knew of
the circumstances. There has been
suspicion of a corrupt influence in the
suppression of the inquiry of 1922.
The case was revived upon discovery
of significant facts through a, matri-
monial dispute. A special prosecutor
was named by the governor to reopen
the murder case and probe it to the
bottom. He has conducted his investi-
cation with vigor and has now Sc
cured an Indictment. Should any of
the four who are now accused be con-
victed upon trial-and trial is assured
in the present circumstances-justi
will have triumphed again in New
Jersey as it has often in the past, to
make Jersey Justice famous.

Too many Americans regard Ian
guages other than their own in the
same way; and consider the manners,
customs and speech of those from
abroad a huge joke. Protestauons
of friendship for foreign nations are
only empty until this attitude is gen.
orally abandoned. Complete interna-
tional cooperation can never be real
lied until the language barrier is
leveled. When there is knowledge of
foreign peoples based upon a real ac-
quaintance with their life and
thought, understanding will follow
The greatest step to this knowledge
is familiarity with the foreign Ian
guage and through it with the
foreigners newspapers, magazines,
books-history in the making.

two languages is worth two men,"

of the Individual concerned and of

lPersonifying the Earth.
From the New York Times


In their enthusiasm over new the
cries about the original formation and
subsequent physical development OF
this planet, some of the modern geOl-
ogists fall into a trick of writing
about the earth as if it were a per-
SON The earth has done this and
will do that. Having discovered that
it lacks perfect symmetry. it endeaV-
ors by earthquakes and upheaValS to
shake itself into perfect shape.
No doubt scientific truth hes be-
hind all this, yet there is often in these
writings a subtle implication that the
earth has a kind of self-conSciOuSneSs.
1t almost seems as if it were thought
of as standing before mirror to see
if it's hat is on straight. Or. in its
assumed efforts to better itself, 1t
recalls a man or woman Fastening to
a doctor to be examined or seeking
the services of a plastic surgeon.
This kind of personification, if in
tended. certainly makes for vivid
IMPRESSIONS If it is unconscious, 1t
merely shows how the author has be-
come deeply absorbed in his subject.
He has dwelt with it so long that 1t
comes to have for him a separate and
real identity. Thus it was said that
Gibbon studied the Roman empire so
long that he ascribed to it person
alitv. But it was added in his case ne
finally confused that personality with
his own.

The Penalty for Murder.

Hinton Clabaugh, the new superln-
tendent of paroles. says Leopold ana
Loeb will be eligible for parole after
having served IL years and 8 months
in prison. They were sentenced 10

law they can be paroled after ~

the 20 years to less than IL.

Women Are Human.
From the Baltimore Morning Sun.

FROM the BalJlnlOre morning sun.
In her comments on women Lady
Aston goes SO far as to express her
belief that they will make the world
safe for democracy. This is an eX-
IRENE doctrine The basic fact that
women are human has been SO often
borne out by their attitude on divers
issues that it is unjust to expect them
to achieve the healing of the nations
that is, alone. With men they may
get somewhere; and the political gains
achieved by men and women together
may perhaps be what Lady Aston
meant to predict. Of course, if women
made the grade alone, the outcome
would be not democracy, but gynoc-
'racy, a very different thing.
Who started this doctrine that
women are of different spiritual race
from men? 1t is true that heroines
without number can be brought for
ward as evidence that the female sex
is loyal, brave and utterly fine; but
there are heroes to the mems credit,
too. And there are nOn-heroines, like
the new Soviet Ambassador to Mexico,
whose appointment was being made
public while Lady Aston was speaking
in New York. She is not making the
world safe for the kind of democracy
that Lady Aston has in mind. And
the new Russian sea captain of whom
yesterdays news told is no Grace
Darling, nor has she been put in COM
mand of a transatlantic liner because
of her moral superiority.
1t is not easy to generaliZe about
women. They are too much like men
to make it safe. They are not unan-
imous about anything in politics or
moralS-thoSe two realms which en-
thusiasts pretend to unite. There have
been indications that in elections they
vote about as their lesser halves do.
They contributed Ma" Ferguson to
Texas and Nellie Ross to Wyoming,
thereby following the male habit of
electing some bad governors and some
good ones. So when Lady Aston COM
prehensively praises them in America
she is about as convincing as when
she praises the Conservative party in
a British election. Some of what she
says is true, and some isn't.
