.BRITAIN,S CHANCE TO HOLLER

They are going to hold the 1927 joint Army,
Navy and air maneuvers in the Narragansett Bay
New England
The maneuvers will be to test the northeastern
frontier sector with practically the entire feet at
lacking
Likewise it is said, the largest number Of troops
ever assembled for games in this country will
take part.
Also the greatest number of airplanes, aircraft
carriers and whatnot
Now it's Great Britains turn to holler
Last year Japan became indignant, alarmed and
off the Pacific coast and in and around Hawaii-and
Japan $500 to 5000 miles away.
Next years tests will not only be at Canada's
very door, but what country, except Britain, would
stand chance attacking us by land or sea from that
quarter?
But Britain won't say word Neither will
Canada They know full well that the maneuvers
are merely part of the game of modern ornaments
and that long there such things armies
and naves and air forces these will have to be
trained.
Japan knew this, too of course But it served
her purposes to make fuss it. 1t stimulated
the war spirit in Japan 1t bucked up japanese ma
tonalism. 1t made compulsory military service
easier to sell to the people. 1t made taxes for
warships and aircraft and for the maintenance
of huge military establishment easier to bear And
it focused public attention foreign "pers"
rather than on increasing hard times at home"
It's a mosscovered trick of western powers
which Japan is just learning to play. We trust and
wager, however, it is that Britain has for

1t Takes a Lot of Money
to Reach the PennSyl-
vania Voters,
BY NJ. e. Tracy

The first day Of probing into the
PENNSYLVANIA r. publican primary
left the impression that it cost about
$500 900, the second day raised that
amount to 100000 ard the third day
revealed it as more than $1,oOO,OOO.
1t takes a lot of money of course
to reach voters of such a large State
as Pennsylvania with post cards, cir
culars. newspaper advertising and
kill boards.
1t takes a lot also to maintain
headquarters and hire watchers.
No matter how much more of this
may be necessary or whether 1t does
any good. we have built up a system
that seems to call for it.
Partially, at least, the Government
and the law are to blame.
Registration, for instance, is COM
pulsory, but no State has an ade-
quate force to see that is honest, and
about the only way to guard against
illegal registration is through hired
observers of opposing factions.
The primary is also compulsory,
but here again the State fails to pro-
vide methods for keeping it clean,
and here again the candidates are
compelled to look after their own in
terests:
The necessity for hired workers
and watchers leaves the way open
for hiring thousands of people to do
nothing except vote.
If the State is going to insist on
primaries, it should handle them just
as it does elections and If it is go
ing to compel registration, it should
provide means to keep it straight.

by VIM. f. Gilroy, d. D.,

Editor of The Congregationalist
Many years ago l heard an able
public reader recite without com
ment the whole story OF Joseph as
recorded IN the Authorized King
James version. My recollection is
that it occupied about ten chapters
of Genesis. and it was one of the
most moving experiences that

never realized until then just how
wonderful a story it was from every
point Of view.
The ancient writer who wrote it
has awaited himself of every literary
device to make the high lights of his
story and the emphasis Of its deep
est teachings conspicuous. 1t is a
story of effective contrasts and logi-
cal development.
I recommend to every one who
would gain the full benefit of the
story the need of sitting down and
reading the entire story at one sit

POLICE AND POLITICS

Mere denial on the part or police omclalS VIII not
suffice to take from the mind of the public the idea
that Prosecutor Remy knew what he was taking
about when said that it possible for criminals
violators of the law, to the shifting OF po
liceman who insisted on making arrests.
The sad part of the thing is that most OF us are
not shocked by such charge so grave in its nature
that in different days and different times it would
j lead to immediate action and investigations
But so low is the general opinion of our city
politics that expect the men elected to office to
2 protect the bootleggers and gamblers who vote for
! them
We take it for granted that the politicians will
use the police force Just as they use other depart
ments of city government.
True we try to hope that they will occasionally
punish of the major criminals and pray that the
political control will not be strong or unwise as
to make it possible to commit murder in the daylight
on public streets and get away with it.
About the most that most of us expect is that
there be enough efficient officers to protect life and
property to'a reasonable degree.
But the charge made by Mr.. Remy hits at the
very foundation of government.
y It is essentially, charge of treason. For II
the officers of the law made the puppets OF law
breakers if they forced to protect and not detect
violations if the law is traded power pelf then
we no longer have even the sembance of self govern
ment.
Has any politician been able to save law VIC
lator from arrest?
Has any officer who persisted in making arrests
for bootlegging been sent to different part of the
city?
Are there any secret tips to violators of the law
that they may expect to be raided?
3 Just how much bootlegging is being done at
present and do the police know where it is being
done?
Do the police know where other laws that can be
Il violated with profit are being openly Knocked and
Haunted?
The charge by Remy should be followed by an
Investigation by special grand jury 1t should con-
vince citizens who want decent government that the
time has come to change and get city manager.
Cleveland and Cincinnati have such scandals.
