Editorial Comment
A Travelling Grand Jury
New York Timcs.)

Senator Reed of Missouri exclaimed rather testify
the other day, II am not travelling Grand jury"
But exactly that is what he or his senatorial COM
mittee has appeared to be. He has, to be sure, no
power of Official Indictment But more deadly
indictment has been found for several candidates for
office in the frontpage publication of the facts
which the Reed committee has brought out. 1t has
been like Grand Jury in listening to complaints anil
sitting evidence. 1t has gone from State t. State
to lock into charges Ct electoral corruption. What
it discovered and made public in Pennsylvania anil
in Illinois changed the whole outlook for the election
in those states. It has made flying trips to Iowa
and Indiana, and sent subcommittee to Arizona
and Oregon. Thus if it has been q Grand Jury at
all, it has certainly been on its travels.
1t has always been admitted that a Legislature
CT the Federal Congress has the power to make of
itself Grand Inquisiton. When it appoints a COM
mittee to look into accusations it clothes it with
sweeping and almost arbitrary authority. In its
inquiries it is not compelled to adhere c the rules
of evidence. In general. it does observe the rules
of fairness-at least t. the extent of giving hear
ing to both Sides But it can at discretion refuse to
an accused person the right Of being represented by
counsel. 1t call for books and papers accord
ing to its own sweet will. 1t is not, like regular
Grand Jury, at the service Of duly elected prose-
citing officials, but often it's Chairman,
of its members, constitutes himself an actual prose-
cutor. Senator Reed CT Missouri has obviously done
this in several instances.
It is too early accurately to estimate the results
Of the work Of his committee. They will MT be fully
apparent until Congress meets and the question Of
seating Senator'S Representatives affected by his
investigations comes up. Already the disclosures
have had a marked effect on current pc'itics.
Candidates for the Senate have plainly heen after
the revelations in Pennsylvania and in Illinois, UNI
usually careful to keep down the sums Ct money
which they personally expend They have had the
fear OF the travelling Grand Jury before their eyes.
That its abors have resulted in an injustice to few
individuals Is probably true It has served to give
currency to charges which could not be sustained.
But that, on the whole, its activities have been
useful to the public few impartial persons will deny

Old Masters

When he who adorcs thee has left
but the name
Of his fault and his sorrows behind
Oh! say wilt thou ween. when they
darken the fame
Of life that for thee was resigned!
Yes, weep, and however my foes
may condemn
Thy tears shall efface their decree;
For. Heaven can witness, though
guilty to them,
! have been hut too faithful to thee
With thee were the dreams Of my
earliest love;
Every thought of my reason was
thine:
In my last humble prayer. to the
Spirit above -
Thy name shall be mingled with
Oh! blest are the lovers and friends
who shall live
The days of thy glory to see;
But the next dearest blessing that
Heaven can give
Is the pride Of thus dying for thee

At The Movies
CAPITOL THEATRE

Fortunately for all concerned the
screen adaptation Of "The Cohens
and Kellys" adheres closely to the
original Of Aaron Hoffman's famous
stage play, 1.-TWO Blocks Away"
None Of the delectable humor Of
the play has been lost in Universal's
film version which is now running
at the Capitol Theatre. The plot has
been preserved and the choicest lines
of the play have been incorporated
onto the screen in the form Of sub
titles. ..
Furthermore, the cast 10 one that
could never be equaled on the
stage. With an all-star cast the pic
ture features Charlie Murray, the
father Of all comedians. who started
in the movies Is years ago; George
Sidney, an actor Of unusual ability
and lifetime Of experience, and
Vera Gordon. the famous mother Of
"Humoresque," who has been on the
stage since she was IL. Kate Price,
another veteran, has an important
role. ..,Sssss
With this cast and gripping
story. Harry Pollard. the director,
has turned out one Of the big hits
Of the year. Mach praise Is due
Pollard for the adaptation which he
did himself. .,.-~.
The romantic interest in the
story is contributed by Jason Ro-
bards and Olive Hasbrouck, about
whose love affair the. action re-
wolves. They seem perfectly cast.
Another incident to the plays action

81 .OO0, 900 by the Jewish family.
Nat Carr. noted ms a clever COM
edian. shows his versatility by play
ing the role Of villain.

sensation as 2 result Of their work

ELTINGE THEATRE

Having ended the war with 1.-THE

tiyities Of the American Army Of

ton. which u playing ct. the Eltinge
on Friday and Saturday, is comedy,
however. and It includes no actual
war scenes. The story, Written by
Edward .SedRwick. concerns the
strange ictivities q three doughboys,

CHRISTMAS
Comes Christmas Day.

Comes Christmas Day. What it means to you depends Spon
your capacity for knowing just as your appreciation OF every
thing else depends upon your capacities. In the man who can
not read, capacity is limited by so much. If he LEARNS to read,
but cannot read music, his capacity still is limited. AS he goes
on learning, his capacity of knowing is increased and thereby
his field of enjoyment is enlarged. Ignorance is not bliss, as
it sometimes is risquoted as being. Greater happiness can
come t oAthose whose faculties have been prepared to appre
ciate atttheir proper value all things in life. So what Christ
ma Day means to sail of US depends upon our capacity for
knowing.
Thereiis a Christmas tree in your home. Around 1T are
those passing through ssome of the happiest moments they ever
will know. Do you not. envy the experience of the youngest of
the group seeing that tree for the first time? To that little
come less ami less amazing, but IT viii never lose It's power to
give enjoyment. Then all of a sudden, it will become amazing
again when the child of To-Day has become a parent. You, wins
were children yesterday, are children again today, SO know the
feelings of all those gathered around the tree, from the tdniest
to the largest, fer you have Anown the experience of all of them.
And how merry you are on this morning9 You know how to
make all the toys run better than any of then--how infinite
your capacity for knowing! N0u do not reject upon it, but it
exerts its magical influence. Il
You know there is a Santa Claus - some of the children
may look at you knewingly-but, Tn your heart you know some
thing they must yet learn. They have been infected by a faint
of skepticism that once affected you. but you know, all - you
know. You know there is something mysterious and unseen
that is more real than the erceptibde-something superior to
practical genlineness. You cannot give it words nor define it
any more than You can the coors that you are conscious of after
you look at a bright light and then close your eyeids. They
are beautiful colors but they have no actual existence. Yet you
see them. For coors the Christmas tree is just as amazing as
that, but the children do not see them, because they do not have
the same capacity of vision that you possess.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

There is a lot of talk about how to reduce the crime wave
and one of the first suggestions is to prohibit the ownership
of firearms.
This would remove protection which the private citizen has
against burglary, robbery and assault, but it would not prevent
the criminal from securing firearms. His business is unlawful
and it would not bother him at all to go a step further and
procure arms contrary to the law, struggled in from other
sources.
The fact that the private citizen could not lawfully buy
arms would make the work Of the thug just that muc,a,
-~1ia~

The logical way to reduce crime is to assure speedy pun
ishment, also to provide that the use of a gun or any other
form of concealed weapon in committing a crime should de-
mand an increased sentence, with no possibility of probation or

The average American citizen enjoys target practice end en-

he be prohibited the use of a gun on the theory that this will
prevent the use of guns by criminals? Why not make the
penalty doub1y severe on the criminal using a gun, lnste~d OF
