swing at Chesapeake Beach,
Washington's nearest salt water
resort. With schools closed and
children footloose, the youngsters
are making for the bayside. Six

at the resort this week. Additional
trains are being operated to han.
die the crowds.
The children's round-trip fare
has been cut to 10 cents. This
means that child can have a
days outing at the seaside for a
dime, less than the cost OF q car

resort has countless attractions

the commercial future Of the
picture. As the latest effort in
synchronization, IT provides the
business with an interesting sub
ject for study.
'The observations to be drawn
are several. First, 1t becomes in
creasingly apparent how ex-
tremely careful producers must
be in the case OF spoken lines.
Some of the dialogue in this
particular picture was very good
Much of ii was bad For which
nobody Is to blame. For, it must
be remembered, here is a brand
new technique. What is to he
learned can only come through
experience.
Secondly. the selection of play

matically, withaI pleasantly. pre-
sents a problem which will give
producers a. rich opportunity for
ranting and wild beating OF
breasts. For instance, Lionel

Women in Politics.

The ever-increasing prominence Of
women in the public life of the country
Is further indicated by the fact that
19 more women will serve in State
Legislatures in 1929 than served in 1928.
A survey by the National League of
Women, Voters shows that a total of
Jas women will sit as lawmakers for the
States. They have been elected to
State Legislatures in 38 of the 48 States.
There will be no women serving in the
Legislatures of Alabama, Delaware.
Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
Michigan, North Carolina, South Da-
kota and Tennessee.
The men remain in the vast ma
jority when the total number OF State
legislators is taken into consideration,
just as In the case of the National Leg
islature, where only out of 435 men,
bers of the House are women and there
are still no woman Senators. Neverthe-
less, the women are on the gain. II
was only a dozen years ago that the
first woman was elected to seat in
the national House of Representatives
In the new Congress there will be
woman members-there are 4 in the
present Congress- and Mrs. Oldfeld

World Peace Is Held
OF Great Importance
TO the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
I read with interest your editorial
on "Who Invented the League?" which
appeared in The Star on December 25.
1t was not my understanding that
Woodrow Wilson ever claimed the plan
Of League of Nations" as his own
invention, or that the idea was exclu-
sively his own. He happened to be in
an advantageous position to promote
such a plan while he was President of
the United States. He did formulate
the fourteen points," but that does not
mean that thirteen points, or fifteen
points, had not previously suggested
themselves to others.
There should be no desire or inclina-
ton to deprive No. 10 Downing street
of due credit in this matter. Undoubt-
edly much constructive thinking was
done along this line in England. Some
years ago an American woman claimed
the League of Nations idea originated
with her. No doubt she was sincere.
Chief Justice Taft worked on certain
phases of international organization be-
fore Wilson published his fourteen
points. Ancient philosophers saw the
dawn of such a development more or
less distinctly.
One must have considerable self-as-
surance to claim exclusive credit for a
thought or idea Individual humans
are not God, the Father. Thoughts are
things. These things have power which
many of us do not suspect. The United
States Patent Office could verify the
fact that sometimes individuals from
different parts of the country will ap-
ply for patents on inventions which are
practically identical and were conceived
at approximately the same time, while
the applicants were not in correspond
ence
I happen to know that on or about
August %, 1914, clerk in the War
Department at Washington, after
sleepless nights of planning, submitted
to the Department of State plan for
the organization of the nations of the
earth for peace. The plan did not hold
any one nation solely responsible for
the war then in progress. 1t did not
provide for terms of settlement for vic
tors or vanquished. But it did provide
for peace. 1t provided for an interna-
tional navy to police the international
seas beyond the three-mile limit. 1t at
tempted to demonstrate the vast econ
omies and the logic of such impartial
protection for all nations. 1t provided
for the Integrity of individual nations
and the proper exercise of their sover-
eign powers within their own borders.
1t was an attempt to vitalize the pr1rl-
ciples of justice which are professed in
the American Declaration of 1ndepend-
ence.
Secretary Bryan was busy with the
thirty peace treaties at that time. The
Department of State acknowledged re-
ceipt of the communication about three
months later, with proper apology for
the delay.
1t is of minor Importance who in
vented the League of Nations or the
fourteen points which failed to win the
game. It is of tremendous Importance
that the world be organized for peace,
and that unnecessary and insane inter-
national warfare should cease.

Nightstick Is Urged
For Whalen's Force

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Grover Whalen. New York's new
police commissioner, tells his men to
"feed the stick" freely to gangsters and
thugs. "There Is a lot Of law in a
nightstick," he says. He is right about
that. A pohceman's nightstick carries
much more authority than his uniform
and badge, especially among the hard
boiled gentry. 1t commands the respect
of the toughest of the tough guys, and
very often proves effective where even
impression.
Policemen in every city are under
certain restrictions in the use of night
sticks. AS general thing, they are
authorized to bring their sticks into
play only under such circumstances as
when they are attacked or when their
lives are endangered, or in riots. In
some places their use Is so closely re-
stricted that the nightstick has come to
be nothing more than an ornament, or
a symbol of authority, and Is seldom
used. It is no doubt wise to limit the
use OF sticks somewhat. but 1t Is not
we'll to make the restrictions SO close
that policemen hesitate about using
them at all, except in serious emer-
gencies.
Perhaps 1t was for the purpose OF dis
pelling any such hesitancy the New
York police might feel that Commits
sioner Whalen told his men they need
have no hesitation in using whatever
means they find necessary in dealing
with gangsters and thugs" At any rate.
his suggestion that there is "a lot of
law in a nightstick" is a good one. If
his men adopt the suggestion and
demonstrate to New York's underworld
that policemen carry sticks for business
purposes, and not ornamental purposes,
it will probably have a salutary effect
on lawlessness' in the metropolis.
Evening star., 1928-12-31
Whalen Watched by Country
AS He Rules New York Police

well as his friends and supporters have
predicted. In the supervision of police
work much depends upon the man.
Both Mr.. Whalen and Lord Byng are
big men,"
The question of professional direction
for these activities is raised by the Re-
gina, Saskatchewan, Leader, which
states: 1.-The time may come when New
York, Chicago and other great American
cities will be in a position, like the Euro
pean capitals, to make police administra-
ton professional service and to keep
at the head of it men of high training.
Until then these cities have to rely on
their mayors for the best possible Selec-
lie spirit will find in such an Office an
opportunity to make reputation pro-
portionate to its difficulties"
The vigor with which the work has
been initiated impels the New York
Times to suggest that "it is possible
that Mr. Whalen may have been con-
suited privately long beforehand. In
any case" continues that paper, "the
steps to reorganize the Police Depart
ment must have been agreed upon in
advance. Doubtless Mayor Walker knew
what was contemplated. Should 1t be
the case, as intimated. that he is also
prepared to use broom vigorously In
other departments of the city govern
ment we shall soon see flying lot OF
political dust
The Jersey City Journal says, 'Tt Is
certainly to be hoped from several
standpoints that Whalen does not get
too much of the police Job or the police
Job get Whalen before the interesting
experiment of the police as an antidote
for SpeakeaSies can be tried"

Honor System Called
s'Craft'' on Taxpayers
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I am interested to see by the letter
of Mr.. w. G. Kent on Newspaper Racks
Seen as Temptation" that the So-called
honor system" is a provoking question.
I am also gratifled to observe The
Stars editorial on the subject. The
points made in both the letter and the
editorial are exceedingly well taken.
Another point is not. without i'm
portance In this connection; I mean
the amazing graft (for that is what it
amounts to, and I cannot take the
time to hunt up more polite synonym
upon the finances Of the District in
volved in the system. Has any one
calculated the cost to the District of
selling a 2-cent or Scent newspaper
from these racks? The publishers
economize by dispensing with the serv-
ices of a newsdealer (or are we to be-
lieve that their motives are entirely
altruistic?) and the District obligingly
pays the salaries of policemen, judges
and court officials to see that the pub
fishers get their 2 cents and cents
per paper! A wonderful idea! The
genius that evolved it is worthy of a
medal!
But, as The Star suggests, why con-
fine it to newspapers? Why not candy,
stationery, popcorn and peanuts? Why
pay rent for store space when the kind
District Commissioners are willing to let
us use the sidewalks, and why pay the
salaries of clerks when the services of
the policemen and courts of the District
may be had for nothing? Why should
not the self-service stores discharge
their cashiers, calling upon the police
men on the beat to watch lest custom
ers go out without paying for their
groceries?
The idea, in short, is capable of
indefinite expansion. Does it flourish.
one would like to know, where taxpayers
have the vote? M. K. CHAPLIN.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Gus an opportunity? A few days, and
we shall know.
X X X
From the "Who's Hoover" Of the
President-elect's non-political intimates
set forth by this observer in The Sun
day Star a distinguished name was in
advertently omitted. It Is that of Dr.
Ray Lyman Wilbur, president Of STAN
ford University, and high priest in
Hoovers group of California devotees
A brother of the present Secretary of
the Navy, DR.. Wilbur ranks as an al
most certain cabinet probability, either
as Secretary of the Interior or as head
of new Department of Public Welfare.
No man is closer to Hoover than the
Stanford executive. They were at COL
lege together. and Wilbur was Hoover's
wartime chief of food conservation.
Henry Morgenthau. former American
Ambassador to Turkey, who derides the
Kellogg treaty as "a weak thing" and
"a tinid imitation" of the League of
Nations, is roughly handled in "Jews
Are Like That" a recent and Sprightly
series of monographs on distinguished
American Hebrews. After recalling ac-
cusations that Morgenthau betrayed
the Jewish people by selling out to
Poland" when President Wilson sent
him there in 1919 to investigate anti
Semitic eXcesses, the biographer says: :
"Morgenthau had the good or the evil
fortune to be tested in a very terrible
time-a time of epic conflict and of
awful need. The best that was in him
he gave. But as he himself most
clearly reveals in his autobiography, his
best, like that of even greater figures
of the war decade, was unequal to the
exigency of the hour"
