A Subtle Hint.

Sir Oliver Lodge, physicist and
spiritualist has just utilized the trans
atlantic radio to give the American
people one of the most subtle hints to
enter the League of Nations which have
yet reached us from the other side.
Speaking yesterday from London over
the oceanic circuit of the Columbia
Broadcaating System, Britain's greatest
living exponent of the psychic tells US
that the United States is destined some
;sy TO police the world"
The Ethiopian in the woodpile-the
catch, in other words--is only disclosed
at the tail end of Sir divers homily.
Before reaching it he lays great JUNCTION
to the Yankee soul, and lays it on pretty
th,ckly. He observes that we hardly

A Legislative Program.

The Districts real legislative program
Is contained in the annual budget.
which is presented to Congress the day
following delivery of the Presidents
message. President Hoover's suggestion
to the Commissioners that they have
their legislative program drawn up and
ready for Congress early in December
presumably refers, therefore. to the
many measures affecting the District
and often requiring no appropriations
which are dumped into the legislative
hopper at irregular interval through
out the session, some of them ~ late
TO receive attention.
The Commissioners would undoubt-
edlv be doing the District. as well as
members Of Congress, a great service
by drawing up a program of needed
legislation for the Capital. somewhat
more specific than the programs that
used to be set forth in the annual re-
ports. In recent years even the annual
Icpoi IS have dwindlcd to a collection
OF short essays by the heads OF the
District departments, compiled and
edited by the Commissioners. AS the
commissioners refrsined carefully from
expressing any opinion in the report,
however. the only conclusion apt to
follow its study was that it was interest
ing If true.
A carefully considered list of bills, or
subjects for bills, prepared in the be-
ginning of the session would not only
give the measures the benefits of an
early start. but they would enable the
Appropriations Committees of both
houses to study the District budget
with reference to proposed future legis-
lative authorizations of money. 1t will
be recalled that in the last session
several clashes developed between MEM
bers of the Appropriations and Legisla-
tive Committees for the District. the
reason being that legislation authoriz-
ing future expenditures was reported
from the legislative group without con-
sulting members of the Appropriations
Committee. There is no rule or law re-
quiring such consultations, but it would
help matters generally if legislation
favored by the Commissioners was item
lied for the study of the Appropriations
Committees as we'll as the Legislative
Committees. enabling both to know in
advance what was expected.
The Commissioners would profit by
compiling list of measures needed for
the District, shaping their program and
in advance of the session of Congress
submitting it to the civic and trade or
ton. The resulting program would
have the support of organized Wash
inston behind it. with dissent expressed
where it might occur.

Court Reform Is Held
To Rest With LAWYERS

From the New Orleans Item-Tribune.
A grand jury at Augusta, Ga, puts
its mind TO simplifying procedure, and
recommends a court in which defend
ants would plead their own cases, with
no lawyers admitted. A Salaried judge
would preside and the court would have
jurisdiction In civil cases involving up
to S25.
The proposal sounds well. and so
general Is the congestion of criminal
courts and so general is dissatisfaction
with legal procedure in both civil and
criminal courts that any proposal of
simpliiication is sure of respectful
hearing. We doubt. however, that It
would effect much good TO bar lawyers
from courts. The business of ''lawing'
sun demands lawyers, even for petty
cases. The Nations best hope for court
reform remains the legal profession
Demands that the profession be kept
out OF the courts is chiefly significant
as indicating that the public wearies of
waiting for needed reforms. The bar

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Crisis.
He worked and saved from year to year
He squeezed the dealer small.
Till he could read his title clear
Unto a mighty haul
OF worldly wealth. And some compliance
While others simply said,
He proved by all that he has gained
He had level head.
At last repentance reached his heart
Quoth he, MY fancy shifts.
Some worldly goods I'll set apart
For Ehilanthropic gifts"
And then crowds gathered to divide.
He noted with dismay
That none complained until he tried
To give the stuff away.

| Tilden encountered Henri Cochet, but
was not equal to the task of clustering
the amazing Basque and went down to
defeat in four sets.
1t is distinctly up to America TO de-
velop its younger talent. T'ilden, whether
or not he retires, is almost at the end
of glorious career. On his shoulders
for the past decade has rested the major
burden of battle for supreme tennis
llonors and he has come through gall
lantly. But no man can go on forever,
and time has taken the inevitable toll
from this sterling player. In Lott, Doeg,
Van Ryn, Allison, Mangin, 18-year-old
Ellsworth Vines of California, who lust
national ranking, in the metropolitan
grass court championship, and others
who have shown signs of future great
ness. the United States has a group of
of strong Davis Cup contenders.
France, however, despite the con-
templated retirement of Borotra, is well
furnished at the present time and for
years to come with players who have
already proven their skill under fire.
Cochet La Coste, who has promised to
return next year to Davis Cup compe-
tition, and jacques Brugnon, all of
whom are in their prime, present for
midable front to any invading force and
are calculated to carry Frances tennis
traditions to even greater heights.
America does not like to come out sec
ond best in any sport, but until it can
regain first honors it must congratulate
the winners as sportsmen Of the highest
caliber.
