The Newspapers and Literature

It is rather common thing now to pass news
paper writing by when we consider artistic merit.
The newspaper reporter, say many Of those who
preside literary round tables writes moth
ing but the cold bare facts. There is no imagina.
ton, poetry, Of the emotions with which
they say some novests and some poets Undue their
work.
In general way Of course, this is true. It must
necessarily be The reporter learns to say
things concisely possible because he knows
that a newspapers space is limited. He waste
time in Celebrations. He must tell tlp facts and
tell them briefly.
But there many where a newspaper
story, still confined to facts and still brief
possible, has in it more pathos and emotion than
hundreds of novels, hundreds of poems written in
this modern day.
Such story carried by the Associated
Press Friday. 1t told of the capszing of an excur
sion steamer Lake Michigan, with the loss Of q
lives.
There were words wasted. And yet, into 4

Whoever wrote the story produced something as
genuinely artistic anything in the pages of "a
book.
Scan the newspaper CLOSELY as you read it. You
will find many times, much artistry and literary
value in one column as in any bulky modern work.

When Blind Men Lead

Now and again human being terribly hand-
capped by loss of sight hearing achieves such
success in life as to make people equipped with all
their faculties feel ashamed Most remarkable in
this respect are the achievements of the blind.
In New York the other day, who had been
blind for nineteen years passed difficult examine
tions which required of those who seek to prac-
tice law. This man, though totally blind, had
worked his way through law school, earning much
OF his expense money by playing checkers in park
Sight is a convenience" he said, "but it isn't
Indispensable" The point in his case is that he
developed his memory. Cultivating his memory de-
veloped his brsin. People with good eyesight too
often let memory and brain grow rheumatic through
lack of exercise.

Crime Takes to the Air

Aviation achievement seems to go by localities.
Two Ohio men gave the airplane to the world. The
East developed it. New York and Detroit pioneered
commercial activities in the air. Minnesota, Iowa
and Virginia produced the flyers who spanned the
Atlantic, other States. the men who braved the Pa
cific. From all about the Country, men came to
crsscross the Continent with the airmail. Honors
are cven all the land, in aviation military and
civil.
But Illinois stands alone in criminal aviation.
While other States and cities and towns have been

accomplishment is Illinois alone; nowhere else do

Legal Minds on Parade

Smart lawyers in this country have become the
great friends and boon companions to all people
and corporations whose actions have come under
suspicion.
In primitive countries, the laws are few. Being
few they are simple; being simple, they usually
good.
As civilizations advance, laws become COM
pick. Technicalites and precedents established
and grow like to kill the spirit Of laws as
they were originally intended
In the first hundred years of this cOuntry's his
tory the laws could be understood, practced, and
administered by any person of average intelligence
Now however, there is needed of these peculiar
illegal minds to understand and unravel the tangled
snarls Of legal pcayunishness. Cases in which the
issues seem clearly defined to common sense arc
quibbled in court by lawyer whose pettishness
resembles nothing much as the finicky chickering's
of cranky old maids.
All this is preface to comment on Justice William
Hits sane finding that Albert Fall and the two
Dohenys must stand trial bribery charges in con-
nection with the famous 100000 brown satchel
naval reserve oil scandal of 1921.
Over a month ago. Doheny lawyer appeared be-
fore Justice Hitz with brief seeking to have the
bribery indictments quashed. The lawyers argu-
ment, simplified, was this:
l. President Harding had no power to transfer
jurisdiction of naval oil reserves to the secretary
OF the INFERIOR
2. Since Harding's order was invalid, Fall had
no authority to lease the reserve.
3. If Fall had authority to lease the reserve
he could not be bribed into doing it,
4. If he couldn't be bribed into doing it, the
charge of bribery should be dismissed.
Any collection of average high school freshmen,
presented with this classic bit of legal reasoning,
would laugh; but our curiously, comicaly serious
lawyers must argue the thing forever and day.
Justice Hitz, after five weeks deliberations
reasonable time for him to look up precedents-
handed down the opinion that Fall and the Dohenys
evidently acted the assumption that the order
was valid, and that a crime could therefore be
charged.
The whole thing would be funny if it were not SO
deadly serious. Judges and barrsters of real abi-
ity recognize that legal procedure is almost hope
lessly involved in settling just such points at law
this, and they are pleading necessarily for SIM
plifcation of codes and presidents.
These balanced jurists pride themselves that their
briefs and decisions prepared in simple Eng
sh, and not in the ridiculous dialect of legal pomp-
osity which masquerades legal learning.
When the whole profession becomes Of this mind,
the lawyers Of the land will no longer cut the
comic figure they do in the eyes of rational in
dividuals whose dream of Utopia is a world filled
with people of horse sense.

Editorial Comment
A Russian to Whom We Owe Something
(Chicapn Trihnnol

Sergius Drujelovsky has been sentenced to death
by Moscow red jury and will probably be fin
ished off in prison cellar with 45 by some good
natured young communist assassin who loves his
work. The shooting of counter revolutionists has
been good ever since the murder of the red diplo.
mat in Warsaw. In Drujelovsky's trial the prose-
cutor made much Of his proof that the prison had
spoiled the recognition of Russia by the United
States at time when Senator Borah was going
strongest and with most promise of success to es-
tablish diplomatic relations.
At this time, it was charged, the accused forged
documents purporting to reveal communist activ-
ties IN the United States against the American gov
eminent, and they produced a revulsjon of feeling
here, undoing all of Mr. Borah's work. Any docu
ments discriminating the soviet Reds are necessarily
forged. Any proof that they are doing precisely
what their promotion department urges it's agents
to do is, by the fact of its being discovered itself
proved false.
The Red formula is unbeatable In the beginning
it lays down the doctrine that any disturbing truth
is a lie, and any lie may be treaty of amity and
good will. Any one who is discovered revealing
that lie is the truth. that the truth is a lie,
shall be shot. Violation of agreements is the first
principle OF soviet morality and double crossing
host is the second. Progress is made by hiding
the safe blower under the high hat of an accredited
government agent and the assassin in the embassy
kitchen.
Mr.. Borah does not always expose nothing but
open pores to the Establishments of the world but
ne did have soft spot for these, the worlds
greatest tricksters and widest Bedlamites and if
Sergius Drujelovsky had anything to do with the
preventing of recognition Of Russia by the United
States he has deserved we'll of Americans, what
ever may be his fate at the hands of the assassins

Science and an Earthquake

Science has not yet reached into all parts of the

Not until two months later did the news come, car

On our North American continent we are unac-
customed to this sort Of thing. The telephone tele

the most horrible disasters Of modern times to be
received.
We are wont to accept the things which science
has given us rather as commonplace. But think
Of an earthquake on the Pacific coast which we
knew nothing about in North Dakota until two
months later! It will pay once in while to sit
back and take stock Of these things which seem
rather ordinary, but which in reality have made
possible our growth and development as nation.
