MARYLAND AVE.
| EXTENSION IS
. BACKED
Plan Will Go Before G. Clinton
} UhI, State Road Director;
CheverIy. Citizens Give Favor

o third highway connection be.
tween Washington and Baltimore
the Citizens of Cheverly. Md. will
place before G.. Clinton Uhl. state
road commissioner of Maryland
recent correspondence between the
road chairman of that asSo"ia
ton. w. r. Gather, and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission advocating the exten
sion of Maryland Avenue through
AnacoStia River marsh and the
construction of new highway to
be known as the Lanham-Severn
Pike.
Move Is Sponsored
The association has received
the unanimous approval of the
Greater Blendensburg Citizens
Association in sponsoring the
move.
That the new highway would re-
1ieve the congested traffic Situa-
tionS on the Washington and Bal
timore Boulevard and the Defense
Highway in preparation for the
George Washington Bicentennial
celebration, has been the leading
factor IN favor of it's construction.
according to Mr.. Gather.
Grant Gives View
In reply to a letter from the
Cheverly Association asking for
immediate consideration of the
Maryland Avenue extension pro-
gram, Col. u. S. Grant, execu-
tive of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
said that to extend the road
through in time for the 1882
celebration would be impractical
because of the difficulties en-
cOuntered i'm rushing work across
marsh lands of the Anacostia
area"
Colonel Grant strongly advo-
Gated the Lanham-SevernH Highway
In his correspondence. The new
route would shorten the travel
time between the two cities con-
Giderably, it is believed.

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1931-01-23

has ruled that he cannot coin his own money. He has
insisted that Lundy Island is a British dominion, and
not a part of the British Isles; a dominion of which he is
king: but the court will not have it 50. So MI. Hartman,
even If he does own an island, is a mere citizen, like all
the rest of us; and 1t seems a pity.
1t seems a pity because ownership Of a remote island
has always looked like the one sure way in which one
could step outside of the ordinary world and be self-suf-
ficient. Islands were meant to be diminutive mon
arches. anyway. When you step on one you feel as if
you have removed yourself from the shackles that are
fastened about your ankles in everyday life, and that
is the way it should be. If a man can't escape from gov
ernnents, rules, regulations and the scrutiny of his fell
lows by going to a lonely island, what hope is there?
All Of this, apparently, was in Mr.. Harman's mind.
During the litigation that followed his attempts to set
up a coinage system his lawyers even went so far as to
argue that Lundy Island had no legal existence; to assert
that it was outside the world as far as the law was
concerned. 1t is too bad that this claim was not allowed.
What mortal does not, at times, long for a chance to get
outside the world" for a brief period?
But the British court, with true British stolidity and
maHer-of-factness, stepped'hard on this contention. Mr..
Hartman, for all that he is sole owner of an island, is just
another British subject, and must obey the laws that all
other British subjects obey. 1t is a shame. but there is
no help for it. Islands or no islands, we have to conform.

Why Reformation Fails

In criticizing the methods followed in American re.
formatories and houses of correction. William N. Bren.
ner, former chaplain of the Philadelphia county prisons
recently made some remarks that ought to be given pub
|licity from one end of the country to the other.
THE terms ~'reformatories' and houses of correction
are misnomers," says Bremen. They accomplish any
thing but that which their names imply. These institu-
tions are dens of contamination and stepping-stones to
the penitentiary and the electric chair. Ex-convicts are
returned to prison so rapidly that penal institutions can
not be built fast enough to accommodate them"
Bremen also points out that trainers Of wild beasts do
much better at reforming their charges than the state
does in handling criminals, and suggests that this is
because the animal trainers use more intelligence in
the way they go about their work. If animals, he says,
we're locked in cells, fed and watered and then left to
their own devices-as in the case with convicts-very
little would be accomplished.
Those who oppose spending money on prison reform
are invited to ponder on those remarks.

"A Sound Pardon Policy
MINNEAPOLIS Journal)

lMuneapOuS J0urnaD
At his first session as a member of the state board of
pardons, Governor Floyd B. Olson lays down a pardon
policy with which The Journal is in full agreement. In
deed, 1t Is a policy which this newspaper has urged for
years-the policy of restricting use Of the pardoning
power to the rectification of miscarriages of justice and
nothing else.
Minnesota has a thorough going probation system, for
the sitting out of convicted wrongdoers who merit len.
fence, even before sentences are passed. Minnesota has
q parole board that for years has been too prompt in
granting lerience to those criminals who are not saved by
the probation system. And on top of all this, Minnesota
pardon boards, IN the past, have frequently been inclined
TO llberate criminals whose previous pleas for lenience
were so poorly grounded as to win them neither proba-
ton nor parole.
Governor Olson rightly sees that the pardon boards
junction Is a single one, atonement for injustice. When
the weight OF the facts laid before the board inclines its
members to the belief that the applicant is an innocent
man, enormously convicted Of crime, then it is the
boards duty to grant a pardon. But when the weight OF
1acts, or the oratory, merely points to the case of a guilty
man pleading for mercy, then it is the pardon boards
business to keep hands off.

Alcohol and Narcotics

From F. X. Eble, commissioner of customs for the
Treasury Department, comes the statement that ZEN
forcement of the narcotic laws is far more important
than the enforcement of prohibition"
Mr.. Eble made this statement before the Senate COM
merce committee, whieh was considering a border patrol
bill to unity the. immigration, customs, prohibition and
agricultural patrols which are now operated along the
borders by separate divisions of the government. His
comparison of the prohibition and narcotic laws was,
apparently, incidental; at any rate, he spoke in favor of
the proposed measure.
His estimate of the relative values of the two laws
may or may not be correct; but why try to compare them
at all? Much Of the present confusion over prohibition
arises from misplaced efforts to make it seem parallel
with other regulatory measures. 1t is in a class by itself,
and arises from entirely different conditions than those
which lie back of the narcotics laws. The fact should be
understood by both vets and drys.

Supply and Demand Again
Paul Dispatcl

est. Paul Dispatch)
Not all the countrys surpluSes are concerned with
commodities or labor. A surplus Of teachers is also dis
covered. Ten years ago 135,412 students were enrolled
IN American normal schools and teachers colleges. In
1923 the number had risen to 274,34s, an increase Of 10a
per cent. In the same period enrollments OF all kinds of
students in colleges, universities and professional
schools went up 81 per cent.
While colleges and normal schools turned out teachers
at constantly accelerated speed. the number of positions
open to them increased by only liz per cent, according
to DR.. = 8. Evenden, associate director, United States
Office Of Education. In the metropolitan area Of New
York alone 5000 teachers are said to be unemployed.
Presence Of over five million ~illiterates in the United
States suggests TIT this problem. like that confronting
many an industry, = = case Of underconsumption instead
OF over-production. The education Of these i~1literates
would employ p~rofitably the time Of most Of the teachers
out OF work. This Is to make no mention Of the gener-
ally understaffed condition pf public schools throughout
the country.
Very evidently there Is . need for all the teachers. But
the failure Of this necessity to translate itself into de-
mand y the misfortune Of the men and women who
constitute the supply Of educators and the problem Of
state and local governments. No industry or occupation
seems immune from the inexorable operation OF the law
|of supply and demand and the universal dilemma aris-
Ing out Of 0ver-pFoduetont and under-consumptiou.
