Recent Dual Hanging
Sentence Sets Precedent

From the Manchester Leader.
A California judge appears to feel
that he achieved the experience Of do
ing something nobody else had done be-
fore him, at least in England or Ameri-
ca. His pioneering consisted Of sentenc-
ing a murderer, who killed man and
woman as they sat in an automobile,
to hang twice the same day. once for
each of the murders. Probably the
murderer, If he happens to be of the
worrying type, is more concerned over
the first hanging than he is over the
second: but If he is of a charitable
disposition he will not begrudge the
judge the satisfaction the latter derives
from his innovation in dealing with
double murderers.
We should not be impatient with that
perennial quest for something to do or
say that nobody has ever done or said
before The truth is, originators of this
generation have hard time of it, for
the old world has been a going con-
Germ such a long time that pretty
much everything conceivable has been
done in some form or other. It will not
be surprising If somebody comes along
to take the Joy out Of life for the CAL
ifornia Judge by proving that some
jurist back In the hoary past decreed a
twofold hanging on some miserable
fellow mortal, and that instead of being
an originator In Jurisprudence he's just
another imitator, sharing the common
lot of mankind.

The Move for More Musk Oxen.

That the recent official action of the
Dominion of Canada to conserve her
last existing herd of musk oxen will
not be too late is the ardent hope of
biologists, naturalists and conserva-
tionists generally. 1t is yet debatable
as to whether the American bison
usually styled buffalo" can be really
brought back Notwithstanding the
fact that of recent years the number
of animals, both tame and wild, has
notably increased. With the buffalo
it is largely question OF available
range, but with the musk OK this factor
does not seem so important, as the
animal inhabits regions generally in
hospitable to man. 1t is, as is so often
the case, the hunters who are to blame

Bus Lines and Tracked Service.

This morning mechanical derange-
nent at one of the sub-power stations
Of the Capital Traction Co. caused the
stoppage of current on all the lines Of
that system in the northwestern section
Of the District. This occurred at 8
O'Clock, when the heaviest business of
the day is starting The shutdown
lasted for nearly an hour, and affected
not only the Capital Traction lines. but
to large extent those of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company,
owing to troubles arising at crossing
points. The net consequence was that
many thousands of people, depending
upon the car lines for their service, were
much delayed in getting to work-a seri-
Gus happening for the employees in GER
tain Of the Government departments, in
which penalties affecting the annual
leaves are imposed whenever hardness
occurs.
For this misadventure there is no
occasion for placing blame or charging
responsibility. Mechanical accidents
will happen IN power stations, blowouts
will occur without human carelessness,
cross-circuits will develop seemingly
from no specific cause. That they are
no more frequent is remarkable. consid-
ering the heavy and constant load the
mechanism has to bear and the COM
plexity of the power-making and trans
forming and distributing system.
But the fact that the stoppage of cur
rent at a single point in the power sys-
tenn may cause the complete suspension
of service upon scores of miles of tracks
and deny service to people in an area OF
many square miles, deranging the bust
ness of the community, constitutes one
of the weaknesses of the system OF
tracked transportation. At present it is
IN this city, one of the most nearly per-
feet and most satisfactorily operating
modes of public transportation in the
world. Yet it is liable to blockades thai

The question arises whether thu

to central plant difhculties or track
stoppages. One bus may be disabled
and the others carry on, with a mini
mum of delay TO the multitude. In the
case of fires, when streets are blockaded
by the apparatus, the BUSES may be
rerouted temporarily. The service can
be doubled, quadrupled, octupled in
emergencies without placing an undue
and dangerous strain upon central
power plant.
Both of the local street railway COM
panies utilize the bus as supplement to
the tracked service, as feeders and for
the relief of crowded lines. 1t has been
for some time accepted as probable that
no more lines of street railway track
will be laid in the District, the bus sup
plying all needed additional facilities
The question arises whether the bus will
replace the tracked car lines, perhaps
gradually at first and later altogether
This question is of decided interest to
the community, and particularly to the
companies, which are now in process of
merging, it is hoped, through legislative
procedure.

Sees Attorney Generals
Dry Law Policy Sound

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
Prohlbition Is to be enforced in one
branch OF the Government service. the
Department of Justice, for whose ON
GERS Attorney General Mitchell quite
properly establishes rule of loyal sup
port in both spirit and practice. There
is something quite sound and consistent
in Mr.. Mitchell's policy that United
States district attorneys and marshals
must be in sympathy with the law they
are charged with enforcing, but 1t takes
courageous man to proclaim it.
President Hoover already has that rule
Tor the White House staff, but ap-
parently has not carried the experiment
to outside appointments.

legations resting upon Government off,

Including the eighteenth amendment,
and the laws of Congress, including
also the Volstead act. The innovation
launched from the Department of Jus
tice may we'll cause apprehension all
the way down the line OF oficialdom.
If dryness at heart as we'll as in. con-
duct is MADE prerequisite to appoint
ment in one department. that require
ment eventually may spread to other
branches Of public service. Even local
city officials are sworn to support the
Constitution.
Moral obligation toward the prohibi-
ton law Is recognized by Mr. Mitchell
for his department at least. Enforce
ment rightly should start V*th the en-
forcer, as an example If for no other
reason. Citizens may we'll be pardoned

violations by agents of authority. Par
