New Wonders.

a device to synchronze motion pic
lures with voice and music has just
been demonstrated successfully in
New York after long series of expert
ments in the perfection OF machine
that records sound impulses simulta-
the same proceeding as that which
has heretofore been employed in
which voice-reproducing machine
has been actuated by the mechanism
or the reel. 1t is regarded as dis
tinct advance in that not only is there
a perfect synchronizing of light and
sound but that the reproduction of
the sound Is more perfect. Thus it
IS likely that motion pictures will,
in n short time, be displayed with the
spoken words sounded in the hearing
of the audience and with incidental
music, as in the case Of an opera.

A Hit-and-Runner Caught.

Alert police work has put another
hit-and-run motorist behind the bars,
where he is likely TO remain for quite
an extended period. A wealthy resi-
dent of Hackensack, n. j., was cross
ing the street in front Of his home
on Saturday night. Suddenly, with
no warning horn, a big car swung
around the corner on two wheels,
struck and instantly killed the aged
man, and continued on it's way at
an increased speed estimated to be
nifty miles an hour. Bystanders were
unable to get more than a fleeing

Not limiting at Himself.

President Nicholas Murray butlei
Of Columbia University protests that
his remarks uttered the other day. In
the course of which he expressed the
opinion that President Coolidge would
not seek another term, do not signify
that he is himself in the field OF pos
sible choice. Tie has, he says. merely
followed his long continued custom of
frankly discussing political conditions,
and is not to be put into the category
of those seeking to draw attention to
themselves as potential candidates.
It is unfortunately the habit of
some people to attribute sef-seeking
motives to commentators on presl-
dental matters. DIR. Butler would
have to be classed as a perennial can
didate if this suggestion were in any
degree Unsuitable. For he has never
hesitated about declaring his views.
lie has been q free and frank ex-
uounder of political doctrines and a
willing volunteer in the field of party
guidance.
In his latest offering as adviser OF
Republican policies and selection Dr'
Butler has merely expressed his 1eel-
inps ON two aspects Of the presl-
dental situation. He speaks as an
individual. He holds that the thlfo-
term" inhibition will operate TO pre-
vent the candidacy Of the President
and that prohibition will play an I'M
nortant part in the 1928 campaign.
TO the former of these opinions there
has already been strong demur. IL
has had the effect of precipitating
discussion of the so-called third-term
issue in advance of the time for the
serious consideration of candidates,
with thus far a decided drift of sentl-
ment against DIR. Buffers view that
a term and a third in the White House
disqualifies an incumbent from seeking
q second elective term.
AS for the prohibition question. it
10 assuredly fair field of speculation.
The wet-and.dry question will unques-
tionably play an important part in the
preliminaries. The records of possible
candidates for the nominations-both
nominations, indeed-will be scruti-
nized. Mr.. McAdoo has on his side of
the political boundary precipitated a
lively debate on the subject. The Re
publican party may not have to take a
specific position in order to find itself
aligned in 1928. Of much more impor-
tance now is the question of whether
the Democratic party will be compelled
by force of circumstances to take such
q position in its platform.
DR.. Buffers disclaimer Of candidate
aspirations is needless. He has not
been rated as even a possible dark
horse in the 1923 field. The suspicion
that he spoke for himself when he
drew attention to what he regards as
Mr.. Coolidges disqualification is un-
warranted.

Safe Coal Mining.

From JohnstoWn, Pa, comes a dis
poration operating in that area mined
approximately 100000 tons OF coal
in 1926 without suffering a single
fatal accident. The fact that such
record is worthy of being made a
news item is significant.
Coal mining is a dangerous work
Amy penetration of the earth involves
the possibility of disaster Tunnels
must be driven into the rock and this
process causes disturbance of the

Miners Will persist in smoking
Sparks from electric conductors cause
ignition. Sometimes, indeed, the strik-
ing of sparks by the hoofs of mine
mules against tlinty rocks has been
known to cause an explosion.
Painstaking researches have been
made by scientists to determine the
causes of these accidents and to find
means for their prevention. Mine man.

They have been welcomed by our most

difference in the relative proportions

considerable difference to certain ma

From the beginning Of the quota
system" declares the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin, the ideal was to
keep the racial makeup of the future

States proportionately the same as it
exists at this time. The theory is ex-
cellent, but the data seem lacking to

many who otherwise would have seen
the reasonable need for the action of
the Senate have opposed it through
the belief that 1t might prove the en-
tering wedge by which the law as a

Monitor asserts that there Is every

piration OF the period of grace pro-
Vided by the Senate resolution q de-

The Manufacturers Record states,
in discussing this possibility: "Vigor

immigration~ba barriers, and during the
present session, in all probability,
more strenuous efforts will be made.
We shall therefore do we'll to keep in

a large inflow of cheap labor either
necessary or desirable" That paper
argues further. THE interesting thing

Public Building Soon to Start.

brief announcement has been
made to the effect that Secretary
Mellon and Postmaster General New
have agreed upon the projects to be
begun the first year under the re-
Gently adopted five-year public build
ing program and that it will probably
be made public in few days.
This refers to the post offices and
other structures that are to be erected
in other cities than Washington. The
locai Government construction pro-
gram is already outlined. Work will
be started this year on three build
ings-the central section Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, the Internal
Revenue Building and the Hall of
Archives. The first of these will be
located in the Mall and the other two
within the Mall-Avenue triangle.
The Internal Revenue Building will
probably be the first Of the latter to be
started, inasmuch as the Government
already owns the greater part of the
site chosen for it, and it can proceed
with the erection of at least half of
the projected structure. There Is a
reason for the beginning of this build
ing as soon as possible, for upon it's
completion, in whole or in part, de-
ponds the starting of work on the new
home for the Department of Com
merce on the southern half of the So
called five square site" fianking the
White Lot on the east. Within the
bounds of that site lies one of the
temporary wartime structures, hous-
ing one of the income tax units of the
Internal Revenue Bureau. There is
no space for it's accommodation else
where, and until the new permanent
home of the bureau is available this
structure cannot be vacated
Meanwhile, work Is starting on the
preparation of plans for the Com
merce Department, and the hope is
that by the time they are ready suffi-
cient progress will have been made on
the Internal Revenue quarters to per-
NIT the razing of the temporary struc-
ture and the clearing of the entire
site for the great departmental home.
The site for the Archives Building
has been selected, but has not yet
been acquired by direct purchase or
condemnation. This process may re-
quire several months, which time will
be utilized in the drafting of plans.
Thus the present prospect is that
by Summer work will actually be I'M
der way on at least two of the three
new buildings provided for in the
great program of construction, tan
gible evidence that the Government
is at last on its way to the accom-.
plishment of it's long delayed end of
equipping itself adequately for the
transaction of It's business at the
Capital.

Texas Pardon Board
Urged ON Legislature

From tho Fort Worth ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
A bill has been introduced into the
Texas Legislature that sounds as
though 1t might be made into a prac-
teal solution of the 'pardoning pow
err" that gubernatorial function that
has been the subject of discussion for
many years. This proposed legisla-
ton has the intent of creating a par
doning board that will remove the
personal equation from the COVER
nor's privilege and make the applica-
ton for pardon almost a rehearing of
the original case.
The relation of justice and mercy
is not clearly defined in the minds of
many people. There are jurors in
Vulnerable who have been known to
stand out In jury rooms for the death
penalty, only to attach their sigma
lures to an application for a pardon
before two years of a long term SEN
tence (which they opposed as INSULT
cient punishment until the last BALLOT
had been served. Executive clemency
has been separated entirely from the
matter Of justice as seen by the facts
and records of the trial Then the bur
dens of mercy without any sense of
justification is saddled upon the exec
utive. Whatever the attitude of the
incumbent, the situation is an impos-
sihle one.
The courts are courts of justice. If
they are not they should be made so.
We should be so constituted as TO
have the utmost sympathy for fellow
beings in trouble, but we should have
a corresponding urge to give abstract
justice and take it entirely on merit
Tempering justice with mercy was a
beautiful thought of Milton's, but he
never intended it to go to the extent
Of placing an obligation, either actual
or implied, on an individual above
and apart from the original justice
machinery.
The proposed legislation seems to
be needed. When 1t passes, if il
should. it should serve two purposes.
1t should remove the strain from the
executive. and 1t should serve to give
prospective jurors an unbiased vision
Of the sense OF duty that will steer
