Courtroom Dramatics.

American courtroomS have frequently
been the scene Of emotional, dramatic
and sensational outburstS of eloquence
and illustration on the part of counsel
In capital cases. Lawyers for the de-
tense and for the prosecution have en-
gagged in fantastic appeals to the juries
in their pleadings and arguments for
acquittal and conviction, respectively.
But it may be questioned whether zeal
has ever carried an attorney, for either
prosecution or defense, to the lengths
described in the case of the concluding
address of the counsel for the State in
the trial OF seven men at Gastonia,
N. C.. for the Staying of police officer
in labor strike disturbance.
An amazing picture IS drawn by the
dispatches telling of the scene in court
Friday when the arguments were con-
cluded. The solicitor for the people not
only invoked all the powers OF his ora
tory, his imprisoned eloQuence, his fury
OF denunciation, but he displayed his
tronic abilities that would have done
credit to q tragedian of the FIRST rank
in the good old days of furious melo-
drama. He grasped the hand OF the
widow of the slain man and with
trembling voice pledged to her the VEN
geance Of the State on her husbands
killers. He flung himself on his knees
before the jury and acted out the scene
at the deathbed Of the victim, imper-
sonating in turn the dying man, his
wife and his daughter. He even gave
realistic rendition of the scene of the
Staying, Ringing himself upon the
courtroom floor and writing in the
agonies of mortal wounds regardless of
his immaculate attire. He acted the
role with fidelity to details described
In the testimony, crouching. kneeling.
falling, struggling to fire and load and
FIRE again, to represent the self-defense
efforts of the officer. Meanwhile he
was exhausting his voluminous yocab-
ulary Of description, invective and ap-
peal, reading from the Scriptures, re-
speech, which, faithfully recorded, will
enrich the literature Of passionate
pleading.
What Q theme for q "talkie"l What
an opportunity for real dramatics, not
imitation studio stun, not worked-up
emotion and canned" words, but the
natural. unstudied, unrehearsed per-
Torrance OF flrst-rate courtroom
actor! What pity that Solicitor Car
penter did not arrange to have a camera
and voice recorder in the room, with
. battery Of lights! Such q perform
ance was worthy of perpetuation. But
even II it was not preserved, for public
edifcatiOn and entertainment, 1t will
probably have its effect in putting Solic-
itor Carpenter definitely on the map, as
it were.-He has arrived" His pOliti-
cal future now lies before him.

Life and the Sun.

1t is almost q platitude to say that
sun.
All the highways of biology must
come at last to this flaming star, whose
pulsations are the heartbeats OF the
far-nung planets. Light Is the mother
of Life.
But when we leave the platitudes of
philosophy for the practicability Of
science we encounter darkness and con-
fusion. There is little exact knowledge
as to how light accompliShes its mir
acles. Until a few years ago there was
practically no knowledge at all. There
are hundreds Of fundamental problems
to be solved. They will require enor-
nous labor and patience.
Much of the clearer understanding OF
the sun which has been achieved in the
present generation has been due to the
work of DIR. Charles @. Abbot. secretary
| of the Smithsonian Institution, who hal
made this subject his special province
His work has shown that the very posi-
| bility of life, as we understand 1t. de-
ponds on an ininitesimally delicat'
balance Of contending forces in thu
upper levels OF the earth's atmosphere
and that any serious disturbance in thi
balance might mean the doom of thu
world. But we do not worry about it
so dependable are even the most deli
cate of the mechanisms Of nature. ThiI
balance has continued for counties
millions of years in the past. and vii
continue for countless millions Of year
in the future.
DIR. Abbot has shown the effect o
very slight variations in the suns radia
ton on weather and laid the founda
tons for what may become an almos
infallibie system Of long-range fore
casting. Now the Smithsonian secre

Alaskan Reindeer.

The Secretary OF the Interior has
just issued an order relieving the
Bureau Of Education of Jurisdiction
ever the great reindeer herds Of
Alaska.
For years past care Of reindeer has
been q curious function for this par
ticular branch Of the Federal Govern
ment. 1t seems q long call from the
steeds Of Santa Claus to public schools
But in the beginning the combination
was not at all anomalous. The In
PRODUCTION of reindeer into this bleak
northern territory Of the United states
was undertaken nearly half-century
ago purely as an educational enter
prise, and It's success has been beyond
expectation.
The Bureau of Education wal
charged with the care Of the Alaskan
natives. It's task was to Introduce
liteTacy, but this involved something
: far more fundamental than merel!

tary has undertaken a new work-that
of determining the exact effects of
measured doses of light on living Or
ganisms. Here is very broad and
important field of research which is
practically UNEMPLOYED. Life depends
on the sun-in all its manifestations.
DR.. Abbot and his co-workers will en-
deavor to determine the laws which
control those obscure butt tar-reaching
phenomena Of plant and animal life.
All this will be preliminary to OBJ
serving and measuring the effects of
light on human beings. All that is
known about this at present Is from
empirical observation without the aid
of ascertained laws of nature. 1t is
safe to say that few more important
lines of research ever have been under
taken.

TeTt: Being confident of this
Uery thing. that He which hath be-
gun good toork in you tOiH perform

The optimist is ever more fascinar-
ing than the pessimist. We have often
thought that one cannot be q pessimist
and a Christian at one and the same
times 1t may be that there is a kind
OF optimism that is lacking in judgment
and that refuses to rightly evaluate all
the facts in given situation. To cry
peace, peace, when there is no peace or
prospect of it is the part of Jolly. To
misinterpret the figures that ledgers i'll
evitably disclose and to regard situa-
ton as solvent when it is hopelessly in
solvent is to exercise an optimism that
is unwarranted. To treat a physical
condition that demands surgical treat
ment as being one that may b. molli-
fled and healed by superficial treatment
means to endanger the life of the pa
tient. On the other hand, when we
come to deal with human nature, to
reckon with its weakness and strength,
its failure and its success, its sins and
It's follies, 1t is clearly evident that the
method OF treatment and cure resides
in that kind of optimism that believes
In the survival of the best and the ulti-

ture.
In our observation we do not recall
the case of one who had fallen a victim
to vicious habits that has resulted in
restoration and the return to normal
ways of living as the result Of stern
condemnation. The great kiaster de-
clared concerning His ministry. God
sent not His Son into the world to con-
denim the world. but that the world
through Him might be saved" On an
other occasion He declared, II dm come
to seek and to save that which was
lost" In the great parallels that He
used to illustrate the high purpose of
His ministry such as that OF seeking
the lost sheep and the lost coin, He
indicated method that is too infrs-
quently practiced. To His keen eye and
sensitive mind He saw in all men and
women, no matter what their situation,
nor indeed their sinfulness. the posi-
bilities of renewal and redemption. He
literally won men back to virtue by the
hopefulneSs of His attitude. He be-
lieved in the saving remnant and His
neither dol -condemn-th method
effected changes that were little short OF
the miraculous.
