The Trouble Carrier

There is an unfortunate type of individual desg
mated by medical science as disease carrier There
is another less familiar type known to diplomacy
as troubIe-carrier. Such is Arthur Bliss Lane chief
of the Mexican division of the state department.
Lane is responsible for much of the misunder-
standing arising from revival of the two-year-old
stery regarding the documents stolen from the Amer
lean embassy in Mexico City purporting to prove
"plots" of Ambassador Sheffield and Secretary of
State Kellogg against the Mexican government.
In his testimony to the senate committee Lane
said he understood the state department had consd-
cradle effort in getting these documents from George
Barr Barker. That not true, and since has been
corrected" by the department and the chairman of
the senate committee, But this and other parts of
Lanes testimony have permitted certain persons to
question the motives of Barker and to tie in the
of Herbert Hoover with whom Barker since has
been associated.
1t is now clear that Bankers patriotic function
was to help get these documents genuine and forged
into the hands of the American government where
they belonged. Both Barker and the Mexican gov
eminent appear to have acted in the interests of
international friendship Whatever the value of the
documents, which the public has had no opportunity
of determining, Kellogg and Sheffield in the
disagreeable position of openly pursuing belgerent
policy against the Mexican government
Fortunately, that dangerous chapter in
latiops with Mexico closed when President Cool
idge substituted the Morrow policy for the Sheffield
Kellogg policy
But Lane, who secretary of embassy in Mexico
City was key in the Sheffield regime, now is
an important official in the state department Both
in Mexico and in Washington, Lane has a habit of
being implicated VIXEN there is trouble.
Perhaps Lane like certain disease-carriers, is in
nocent of personal fault. At any rate, he should
watch his step in the future The Coolidge Morrow
Hoover policy toward Mexico is of definite friend
ship and Lane is apt to suffer if he continues to
barrass the cordial relations of the two countries.

Court Reforms

AS though that were not enough
Toledo has just been blessed with a
much needed reform in local court
procedure. Hereafter, permanent
residents will be admitted to bail on
their own recognizance in cf.ses of
misdemeanor, while the pra 5tice of
supplemental orders will be discon-
tinued.
The former is designed to spoil
the graft of professional oondsmen
and the latter to assure the public
that it gets what it things it is get
ting by way of justice.
The supplemental order is a
method by which judge can re-
duce sentence, or, remit a fine in
chambers after decreeing it in open
court, can let a bootlegger of, for
instance, after he has enjoyed the
benefit of being publicly praised for
zealously upholding the law.
The local reform extends to sew
eral other practices, particularly
that of patrolling SO many prisoners
on judicial recommendation, as the
Ohio law permits.
1t all started through the dis
covery that a colored bootlegger was
at liberty when most everyone sup
posed he was in jail. An investiga-
ton disclosed some eighty similar
cases and led to an effective move
for reform in which the Toledo
News Bee, a Scripps- Howard paper
took a prominent part.

Has Fear Of Women

DSYCHO-ANALYSIS at a dis
Il lance is a dangerous proceed
llre, but I think that this last novel
re-establishes the fact suggested in
earlier work that AIdous Huxley has
deep and abiding fear of women.
Naturally enough, he treats them
scornfully in his pages and grows
savage about feminine charms and
and the manner in which they are
utilized for mans destruction. The
one female character who is kindly
treated by him happens to be ma
ternal and a sturdy vine in her re-
lation to her clinging oak of a hus-
band. Accordingly, I think the case
OF Aldous Huxley may be safely left
to the FTeudians.
Oh, / forgot, next to Barrie, Hux-
ley can't stand the disciples of phy-
chi-analysis. But they undoubtedly
will give him as good as he sends
and indict him as a neurotic with
mother fixation. Without doubt.

Summarizing School Days.

Nov and then 1t is necessary to report facts
that carry with them only sorrow. Con-
slider, for instance, the question of the length
of the school term. The Bureau of Education
declares that, in the past two years alone, SO
out of some 800 cities reporting have added
from 5 to 20 days to the length of their
sessions. Not only that, but the tendency
everywhere seems to be to lengthen the terms.
The State Of New York, which harbors within
its borders the largest single enrolment among
the States, has increased its terms to 100
actual school days, which is fairly near the
pinnacle. City schools. in general, run from
1876 to 100 days year. There are States
whose school terms last 10 months, but these
States are SO blessed with holidays that the
schools are In session $50 days or less.
The average length of the school term all
over the country could be heightened If the
system Of Pennsylvania were carried out uni

Our caution was rewarded. After . tedious

our rigging. Presently we were sitting side by
side In bo'sm chairs, swinging out into space.
We had come 80 far and done SO much pre-
lminry work that the job itself seemed riticu-
lousy easy. In ffve minutes We had extracted
the faulty bolt, and in five minutes more We

Miles, sharply brought to his senses, looked
aghast at the blood which trickled down her
white arm, from a nasty cash the window had
cut in her wrist She looked too, gave little
moan, and tainted into a heap of black chiffon
at his feet.
He gathered her into his arms, flung into the
library and laid her, limp and whittier than ever,
on a couch. From his pocket he whipped his
handkerchief. wiped away the blood, looked at
the cut with wild anxiety. Deep, but not really
bad. He bound it with the white square. and.
beside himself with fright and remorse, rushed
to the pantry for water.
He returned to find her eyes opening slowly,
deep green now, bewildered and frightened like
a child's.
