IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. 15.-In a world
that spins a bit hectically at times
these days, faint suggestion of the
lavender and old lace that once was
still clings to The Little Church
Around the Corner.
Caught, as it is, in the midst of
q city that sprouts even faster than
a lanky lad in his teens, the "little
church" is variously an oasis and an
incongruity. 1t suggests quiet and
rest in the midst Of noise and dis
turbance. 1t suggests the quaint
and the pastoral where all is ur-
ban and mechanical. Its tiny lawn,
its little pathways, its simple color
ing and charming architecture are
exaggerated by the harsh contrasts
about it. It does not seem to cry
against it's surroundings; rather 1T
le..ves the passer-by to stage his
own revolt.
And there is about it, too, the
ghost of such romances as are pic
tured in cinema fade-outs ro-
...ances that run through Wild
lowered meadows; romances that
meet at country cross roads and 60
contentedly on t, the grave; 70.
mances that defy the city's clamor
and sing in soft voices in the face of
the city's roar; romances clad in
tlimity and in short skirts as we'll
but romances that brewed of the
same ingredients whatever their
geography or their nature.
The Little Church Around the
Corner is place to make one senti-
mental; place to kick off the So
phisticated armor that one dons to
ward off the blows of metropolitan
life; a place to come upon at sun
down when the racket and clamor
is becoming faint echo.
Walking thus at shutdown it is
not uncommon to see old couples
walking along the paths and through
the gates and into the church doors
they come from ever the earth
men and women who found this the
end of nance trail. They come
by the day, by the week, by the
month and by the year. Hl1y come
for their anniversaries and they
come to water the fading flowers Of
young love.
am told that hundreds of couples
make this their yearly pilgrimage
And now and then one comes alone
-. an old man or young man
an old woman or young woman
And when they come alone
they pause hesitatingly at the gate
4. and look about in blurred con.
fusion at finding themselves alone
81. Sometimes they cannot force
their way through the doors, but
turn away with tear-dimmed eye.
... and sometimes they sink into
: pew and collapse sobbing.
The church attendants are accus
toned to every sort Of emotiona
demonstration. Years have brought
before their eyes such dramas a.
they cannot describe.

A Daniel to Judgment

When Attorney Paul Davis, acting as spe-
cial Judge, sentenced former Councilman
Boynton Moore to the penitentiary, his COM
ments were quite as much public service as
was the sentence itself.
E'The people lost faith in the executive and
legislative departments of government. They
must not lose faith in the Judiciary" was his
fine challenge.
Unless there is continued and absolute con-
fdence in not only the integrity of courts but
in their ability to enforce laws without dis
elimination the whole government is a failure.
The case of Moore was plain and in point.
He had been convicted of the crime of bribery.
The law says that the penalty is from two to
fourteen years in the penitentiary.
Nothing was shown in court that indicated
that Moore had performed any public service
which entitled him to consideration.
It is true that other councimen resigned
their offices, pleaded guilty to misdemeanOrs
and escaped with payments of fines.
There was no showing before the courts that
they did so on behalf of Moore or that they
had bargained for his liberty with their own
confessions.
From the public point of view it is fine
thing to be rid of these men, humiliating as it
may be to consider that they were in position
to make their own liberty the price of their
designations.
But Moore was different. He had had his
day in court. He had been convicted The
law fixes the punishment
Judge Davis deserves thanks for forcibly
calling to public attention the necessity for de-
Tending confidence in courts.
1t is unfortunate that political gossipers
make confidence in courts rather difficult.
Even now they whisper that decisions of
courts are made for political rather than legal
reasons and even lawyers prophesy decisions
of the highest courts on that basis.
It is not good for the State when men bet
that the highest court will throw out one
mayor and put in another because of political
pressure.
1t is not good for confidence in courts when
delays in decisions of cases of prominent poll
ticians are ascribed to the desires of political
parties.
Swift justice, speedy decisions, clear an
nouncements such as that made by Judge Davis
are the props to justice. 1t is unfortunate that
they come so seldom.

Bombs for King and Duce

For second time King Humbert of Italy had
escaped a would-be assassins bullet by hairs
breadth.

he remarked with nonchalant shrug of the shoulders
Being shot at was just one of those things in the bust

blown up by a bomb which exploded in the street,

King Victor assembled the throne twenty-eight years
ago in July upon the assassination his father shot
to death while a similar voyage to Monza, near
Turin, by Bresci, an anarchist.
Along with the of the outrage against King
Victor came word of a powerful bomb being found
the railway line over which Dictator Mussolini
passed his way from Milan to Rome. But the muir
derous engine had been discovered and removed in
time.
Thus desperate and determined conspirators are
again at work in Italy of many bloody trag
edies of this kind Useless and dastardy though at
ept against the lives of rulers are such crimes are
at least expcable in the cases of auocrats whose rule
is iron.
But King Victor is known for his quiet reserve, his
friendly, democratic manners and his modest willing
to remain IN the background While others take
the spotlight. His father was known as, King Hum
bert the Good because of his many benefactons, and
the son has followed in his steps. If the bomb at
Milan really was aimed at him the deed was douby

This double attempt at assassination is likely to
