Famine in China

President Coolidge said in address to the Ma

Lessons of Disaster

Right now several inquiries are in
progress to find out what caused the
wreck of the Vestris. One object is
to fix responsibility if possible and
inflict punishment. That is not the
most important object. What makes
the performance worth while, and
all that r'akes. it worth while, is the
prospect of discovering ways and
means by which such disasters can
be prevented in the future.
Once more, we must look to the
scientist, the inventor, and the ex-
pert, for if ships are ever made safe,
they will have to do it.
After they have shown us the
way, we can incorporate their ideas
into law, but even then men must
be trained to carry them out, and
after that we still can find use for
more ideas.

Not a Final Verdict

Before any verdict rendered by jury is taken as
final by the higher court of public opinion, it should
pass certain tests of reasonableness.
And when such tests are applied to the conviction
of one of the larger merchants of this city for
spracy to steal automobile they fail utterly to
meet the ordinary demands of common sense.
Crime, first of ALL must have motive And GER

There is a sense of rank injustice when it is pos
sible to convict citizen in federal court such
charge after he has made a diligent search in the
state offices charged with the degstration of titles.
The evidence showed most clearly that such an
inquiry had been made in this particular and
that every precaution which cautious citizen might
take to protect himself had preceded the purchase of
the automobile.
If the state issues certificates Of title to stolen
automobiles, then there is no protection for the
owner of an automobile or for the purchaser of any
machine.
Aside from this the verdict is such to chal-
