ENFORCE THE LAWS ENACTED

Advertising to criminals that the
courts are too busy to attend to them
would seem to contribute to law and
order rather less than nothing. Yet
that Is what the delays, due to con-
gestion in the Federal courts, are
doing. Some Of these courts are
said to have been overwhelmed by
liquor cases. To expect bootleggers
to drop a tear over this predicament
is expecting too much OF human
nature, even at its best
This congested condition has COM
PEELED drastic measures and calen-
dars have been cleared of dust If not
with justice. But while there has
been a decrease in the number of
criminal cases brought before the
Federal district courts there has been
an increase in the number of civil
cases to which Uncle Sam is party.
Several judges have been added to
the list but the Taft report recon-
mends more. The courts are not dis
posing of the worlA with that prompt
ness which all agree is so essential
to maintenance OF respect for the
law.
This state of affairs should not be
tolerated. Passing laws and making
no provision for the prompt enforce
ment of those laws is both silly and
shameful. A legislature that enacts
new laws without wise provision for
the enforcement of these deserves
severe criticism, and yet the in
stances where this neglect does not
occur would be few, if we may judge
by the results.

PROVING TO BE SOUND

We boast and justly of the ad-
vance in health regulation that has
been made in the last twenty years,
OF the better cooperation on the
part of the public with those en-
deavoring to bring about this i'm
provement. But it is possible that
not all the credit is due to those
directly engaged in promoting health
regulations. It is not beyond cred
ence that the restrictions on immi-
grafton have contributed to this
intelligence in cooperation.
No longer are we inviting all to
come Unfortunately. 1t is said
that we are receiving annually less
than one fourth the number of i'm
migrants. who found their way into
this country in 1907. While we have
no money requirements In our i'm
migration restrictions we have in
sisted on qualifications, which rep
utable observers aver have served
to keep out the greater number of
undesirables and have assured us of
power to assimilate those who do
come.

Iron Industry
Revived In Mass.

Everett, Mass, Oct. T-[Pl-After
a lapse of a century an old New
England industry has been revived
with the opening of the new plant of
the Mystic Iron Works on the Mystic
River here. The plant was formally
put into operation last week when
President Coolidge, by pressing a
button at the White House in Wash
ington, set ablaze the fires in the
huge blast furnace and thus started
anew the production of pig iron.
which was first undertaken in Mas
sachusetts in colonial days.
The opening of the iron works here
| recalled that the first iron manufac-
tured in the United States was pro-
duced in Massachusetts and was later
smelted in small furnaces through
out New England for 200 years before
the industry moved westward and
nearer the deposits of raw materials
As early as 1913. John Winthrop, Jr,
| organized a company to smelt iron
ore dug from the marshes along the
Saugus river. This early furnace had
! a capacity of seven tons a week, as
contrasted TO the huge furnaces of
/ today. which have an output of about
COO tons a day.
Other early settlers later built fur
| Hills and in New Hampshire and
Connecticut and produced iron on a
small scale, using nearby ore depos-
! its and charcoal as raw materials.
| Following the development of the
great coke ovens in the Pennsylvania
mining districts and in the south and
middle west, the New England smelt-
ers were no longer able to operate at
profit and one by one closed down.
In recent years, according to men
connected with the industry, the rail
freight rates on pig iron produced at
western and southern smelling CEN
tres have increased to such an extent
that the diferential between them
and the water freight rates for raw
/ materials will make It possible for
iron works to operate on the New
England seaboard successfully.
The new Mystic Iron Works are a
unit in the chain of industries con-
trolled by the Massachusetts, Gas
Companies and represent an invest
ment of s5.oo0.o00. The works have
supply of 10000 tons of ore on
hand sufficient to feed the blast fur
mace during the winter. With a per-
sonnet of 100 workmen the plant has
a capacity of from 400 to 500 tons of
pig iron per day.
When operating at capacity. the
plant would have total output of
about 10000 tons of pig iron year.
which is reported TO be approximate
ly one-ffth of the iron now consumed
annually by, New England industries.
If the demand increases, the company
has announced that additional fur
naces will be installed. ample space
having been preceded for such posi-
BILE development in laying out the
works.
With its diversified industries.
New England offers one of the
greatest markets in the country for
pig iron. Iron produced at the Mystic
works will go to foundries in the
different New England states to be
cast into various kinds of machinery
for the manufacture of shoes, tex
tiles. paper, as well as into many
other products.

Just then the quick eyes of the little

Editorial Comment
The Daueherty Case
Boston Herald)

The Daugherty- Miller conspiracy
trial evidence has been concluded
the arguments are under way. the
jury is expected to get the case on
Friday. Whatever the verdict may
be, there are certain facts which
never can be forgotten by the Amer
lean people.
The first Is that the defendant is
an ex-attorney general of the Unit
ed States. For several years he was
at the head of the department of
justice, in duty bound to enforce our
laws, 20 apprehend and prosecute
criminals, to obtain facts for the
protection of the public.
The second is that he made sure
long ago that the facts about his
personal bank account, in the bank
in "a. small Ohio town of which his
brother is president, should not
reach the public. The pages in the
bank books containing the record of
his personal transactions were taken
from the bank, delivered to the form
er federal law officer, and by him
they were destroyed. On the wit
ness stand the brother testified that
he gave the sheets ito Harry" and
that Harry burned them"
The third is that the former head
of the department of justice persist
ed through the trial in the policy he
adopted some time ago of offering no
evidence in his own behalf. Months
ago he read a statement to a grand
jury about his confidential relations
with a former President of the
United States, winding UP with a
refusal to testify lest he incriminate
himself. He has his constitutional
rights and he avails himself of
them. Thus he refrains from telling
under oath in open court whatever
he may know that might help to
clear away the obloquy that now
befogs his name.
