accused to take advantage Of every
possible loophole in the law and in the
practice to protract proceedings. 1t is
questionable policy thus to drag out a
case, but the blame. If any is to be laid,
rests upon those charged with the ex-
ecution of the law, with the prosecution
OF the cases, with the administration
Of justice.
Only the tragedy of yesterday called
public attention to this long protraction
of a case that should have been settled
months ago and in short order. The
question arises whether there are others
which are dragging along unfortunately
through postponements and lapses and
failures of appearance. 1t is well known
that in a certain type of cases there
are many of these long delays, especially
those in which jury trials are involved.
The Police Court records are unfortu-
nately extensive in this respect. But
this case is not of that type. It has none
of the elements justifying or excusing
slackness of procedure. 1t should lead
to action by the court that will prevent
hereafter any such preposterous pro-
fractions.

Permanent Fame of Underwood
Attested by Contemporaries

linked with integrity, courage and pa
triotism are the Springfield Daily News.
the Utica Observer-Dispatch and the
Rock Island Argus.
From the Roanoke Times comes the
tribute: His voluntary retirement from
the Senate two years ago brought to a
close a career in public life as brilliant
as it was useful. Courage, integrity and
ability marked his service from Begin
ming to end, The New York Evening
Post accords him "a permanent abiding
place in the country's congressional
annals" The DAoit News holds that
had he lived in the North, no matter
what his party, he might have become
President, so great were his abilities, so
admirable his character, and SO remark
able his command of men,"
An estimate of him as "a national fig
ure." one who was "asSuredly of pres
idential caliber" and who has left a
lasting impression upon his age is
made by the San Antonio Express, while
other tributes to his leadership and
power are offered by the Flint Daily
Journal. Charlotte Observer and Fort
Wayne News-Sentinel, and the Phila-
delphia Evening Bulletin asserts that
III COnJuncCure OF natl0nal aHdlrS
had ever arrived enabling him to reach
the presidency, the country would have
been ably served"
HE hated hypocrisy and never hesi-
tated to arraign it," records the Rich
mond News Leader But there was
about him certain serenity of spirit
that kept him from being an active,
aggressive partisan. AS he grew older
he saw the other mans point of view as
clearly as his own. and though he never
weakened to any degree of vacillation.
he became judicial in outlook" The
Savannah Morning News eommends his
quality of safe adviser in national af-
fairs" The Lansing State Journal con-
cluded, His part in the Underwood
tariff law and his part in the Washing
ton arms conference will perhaps be
best remembered in his record, but his
ability went beyond BOTH"

news transmission. Had the radio been
then developed, the storm would have
made no difference with the telling Of
the story, provided the aerials withstood
the fury of the blast.
Such has been the remarkable devel-
opment Of two decades. The radio has
become commonplace. 1t has been ad-
vanced to the position of an everyday
function, routine method of trans
mission. And it is consequently now
assured that whatever the weather may
be on Inauguration day, that day of cli-
matte uncertainties, the story of the his
toric happenings at the Capitol will be
spread to the world.

Fifteen Months of DELAY.

A woman yesterday shot her husband
In this city as they were leaving a court
room after the case against her hus-
band, accused Of what is euphemistically
styled statutory offense with another
woman, had been postponed. This was
the latest of a long series of delays in
the trial Of the case, which had dragged
for more than fifteen months from
the initial charge. A variety of reasons
Tor these delays are advanced. Failure
of the police to effect service of sum-
mons, lack Of prosecution, plea of I'M
readiness, all sorts of excuses appear to
have been invoked.
1t is not, of course, the right of a
complainant to take the law into his
own hands" as the phrase runs, when
the law itself is slow and ineffective.
Especially is it not the right of the
complainant to use deadly weapon in
a case in which there is no death
penalty. The action of the wife in
shooting, whether she meant to hit her
husband or. as is suggested, the woman
with whom he is charged with miscon-
duct, is in no degree justified. Yet the
provocation by the delays is not to be
denied.
1t is not seemly spectacle that Is
thus presented Of long protraction Of a
case that should have been settled
promptly. Fifteen months of postpone
ment! Who is to be held responsible
for such indifferent. procedure? Is it the
court itself? Is it the prosecution? Il
It the police? The blame cannot bt
placed upon defendant or defendants
counsel. It Is the right Of any person
