when 1t was proposed to break her up
as "unseawrthy." Oliver Wendell
Holmes put stop to that notion. His

public clamor 1t aroused, preserved the
ship for later generations to inspect

The Panama Canal, taken over by
the United States in 1904, after French

for such a passage that Columbus was
searching in 1892. He died without
realizing that the linked continents Of
North and South America lay across the
path he had hoped to discover. Only
by sailing around the tip Of Cape Horn

Of the digging Of the great ditch and

engineering and medicine.
Yesterday the old Constitution was
conducted through the made-to-o-der

same goal in the days when the ship

thousand times as long. More than
three thousand miles of hazardous

Two Setbacks for Extradition.

In view Of the refusal Of the Cover
nor Of New Jersey recently to honor
warrant of extradttion from the State
of Georgia for the return OF fugluVe
from Justice, the action Of court at
Athens, Greece, in declining to compel
the return of Samuel insult to Amer
lean Jurisdiction for trial is not alto
gether surprising. In both cases the
principle Of extradition, in the former
established by the Constitution and IN
the latter by treaty, has been violated.
Gov. Moore refused to return the tugl-
tive Burns to Georgia from which ne
had fed while serving term for rob-
berry, because he felt that the practices
of punishment in that State are unduly
harsh, although he did not SO specify,
announcing merely that he decided the
case ION its merits" The Constitution
specifically provides that "a person
charged in any State with treason, fel-
ony or other crime, who shall flee from
Justice and be found in another State
SHALL on the demand Of the executive
authority Of the State from which he
fed, be delivered up, to be removed TO
the State having Jurisdiction Of the
crime" In the face Of that require
ment no case can properly be adjudged
ION its merits" by the courts or ON
GERS Of the State to which he has ned.
At Athens the court has held insult
to be not guilty Of offense charged
against him in Illinois. As in the New
Jersey case, it has acquitted insult on
the merits OF the case" This, under
all the established principles Of inter-
national extradition, is unwarranted and
strange doctrine Of procedure. There
was no question as to the validity or
authority of the demand for insults
return or the formalities required by
the treaty of extradition which has re-
Gently been ratified. The court set
itself up as a trial body and In its
decision, admitting that the treaty OF
extradition is in full force and that the
provisions Of the law have been duly
executed and legal procedure Is main
tanned and that the offenses Of which
the fugitive is accused are provided for
by law, it reaches the conclusion that
the amount Of money which Mr.. insult
is accused Of taking unlawfully may
be considered as loan and not as
larceny or embezzlement; that the loan
was contracted for the protection Of
the corporations and was small In COM
parison with the total cash assets, and
insult has not obtained any personal
profit, and it holds, finally. that 1T
does not become evident that Mr.. insult
committed the o1enses of which he is
accused and rejects the request for his
extradition and orders his release
II the Greek method and the New
Jersey method Of deciding extradition
cases shall be established generally in
all countries and in all American
States the extradition principle estab-
lished by Constitution and by treaty
will be knocked into cooked hat and
the administration of justice by Amer
ican courts will be grievously impeded.

The fifteenth anniversary Of default

Repudiaton Of its debt has been the

diplomatic relations with Russia Is
being strongly urged upon President
elect Roosevelt. The question Is now
being propounded in high political cir
cles, shall we require England and
France to pay at the same time that
we forgive Russia her debts and con-
done her default? Or, conversely, shall
we forgive England and France their
debts while continuing the ban on
Russia for her non-payment? The

care about anything we do. I'll never

care about anything we do. III never
have q real friend"
The parents saw the headmaster. "a
charming, understanding man." He
said: "Your boys got to get all these
notions out of his head. and get his
feet on the ground. We're going to
make q regular American boy out Of
him-a he-man's what you want, q
mixer. There's no place for individ-
ualists at this school. They've all got
to get into the crowd and stay there"
So the problem stood: Was John to
be forced into the crowd and taught to
like the things the crowd liked, or was
he to be allowed to continue his nor
NAL development in accordance with
less strenuously regimented ideals Of
education? Was his interest in pic
lures, books and good music to be
assassinated to make room for cheap
magazines, jazz, clothes and talk about
money and cars?
American preparatory schools and
American colleges and universities have
many defenders. Their formal cul-
tural standards are not low. But what
about the boys like John? Was the
headmaster correct in his judgment
that there's no place for individual
lists" In the educational institutions of
the United States? If so, it Is time
that protest were raised against the
fact.
A dead level Of mediocrity is not
the proper goal Of any cultural sys-
tenn. Success in the arena Of business,
of science, Of the arts. OF education It
self depends not upon uniformity, but
upon constructive difference, upon va
ration. All authentic national progress
derives from the capacity Of individuals
to be more efficient, more creatively
active, more discriminating than the
rank and file Of the population. If
this be not true, why send boys or girls
to school?
It is a perversion Of the democratic
doctrine to suggest that any man, wom-
an or child should be obliged ito get
into the crowd and stay there" The
pace Of the crowd is regulated by the
deficiencies Of its least intelligent mem
bers. To escape from such handicap
is the purpose Of all genuine cultural
effort. II to be herman" means to
be a moron, what price George Wash
ington and Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin
Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Ralph
Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman,
Robert Fulton and Thomas Edison!
John may be unhappy in his famous
New England preparatory school," but
his case is not hopeless. even if he has
fewer than dozen suits Of clothes
and is interested in things other than
money and cars. The jazz age and all
its shoddy works are being pretty thor
oughly smashed by the depression, and
John may find "a real friend" among
boys who perforce are concerned about
other subjects than the erstwhile ap-
proved enthusiasms of "a mixer"

While sages their records compile.
And each little step that Eternity

felt as though they had been flying
for hours without getting anywhere.
There were no islands directly below

like a treadmill.

Pickering spot of crimson carefully,

inserted a clip Of cartridges into the

from the gangster's flashing gun to a

ner was getting the range. The sui
phurous stream veered, disappearing
within the trailing edge of the wing.

of bullets far below. He Strengthened

Up, up, 1t came. He swung to the
