Strange Procedure

It Is understandable that the cir
cumstances under which Charles
Poletti commuted the sentences Of
three convicted labor racketeers
during his brief service as Governor
of New York should have aroused
considerable criticism in the State.
Mr.. Poletti served as Governor
during the interim between the res
ignation of Herbert H. Lehman and
the Inauguration Of Thomas E.
Dewey. During that period he COM
muted the sentences of fourteen
persons, and in all but three of these
cases the customary procedure of
referring the matter to the Parole
Board for investigation was fol-
lowed. In the exceptional three
all convicted of violence in connec-
ton with labor activities-the inves-
legations were made by the Cover
nor's Office.
The most prominent offender in
this latter category was Alexander
Hoffman, general manager of
cleaners and dyers union, who had
been found guilty of sewing incen-
diary pellets in the lining of clothing
sent to a cleaning firm, the purpose
being to terrorize the operators Of
the Arm into accepting unioniza-
ton. After the conviction had been
sustained by the Appellate Division

The Sense of Security
By the Right Rep JAMES E. FREEMAN, LII. d. D. c. l.,
Bishop OF Washington

two conditions to its attainment are
quietness and confidence. Quietness
means freedom from hasty and impulsive
action. 1t is not characteristic Of us. AS
a people We are intense, our movements
are hurried. We are the greatest advo-
Gates of speed in the world. In many
respects our capacity for quick action is
a virtue with us. Witness it in the rapid
ity with which In a short space We have
converted all our machinery to war pur-
poses and amassed fighting force of
trained men. In all this we are quite
incompatible. The quietness that makes
for strength is concerned with state
of mind; the capacity to be reposed and
reflective in the face of any and all con-
ditions. This is a supreme need today.
1t can be had, despite the distractions
and deep concerns of world tragedy.
1t is finely expressed by st. Augustine
where he says: Our souls are restless
til they rest in Thee
To take time out to think, reflect and
pray; to make every day day of new
appraisals; to put ourselves right with
AN ultimate decency of things; to
divorce ourselves from practices, social
and other. that are inconsistent with a
world at strife; this means to gain poise
and the kind of mental and physical
repose that lead to strength. Out of
such habit grows, inevitably, confidence
confidence that is sane and reasonable;
that is unaffected by environing condi-
tions or the mercurial and changing
views of the daily press or the volumes
Of books that clutter our libraries. The
War of Confusion is the suggestive title
of one of the many books that look up
at me as I write. 1t expresses by it's very
title what is generally true of US, and it
has much of merit The confidence we
need must come to us by fuller, deeper
understanding of the mind of Him who
said: Peace leave with you; my peace
give unto you; not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid" A
mighty promise this, and one that can be
had for the seeking. Do we need it? We
need nothing SO much. Strength that
comes from quietness and confidence;
this we can have if we will discard our
self-confidence and our hectic ways and
put our house in order. When we as
people have it we shall gain both the
victory and the peace.

and the New York Court of Appeals.
Hoffman began serving a prison
term OF from four to eight years.
Mr.. Poletti commuted the sentence
after Hoffman had served seven
months and eleven days.
Later it developed that Hoffman
had been arrested on four other oc-
casions for alleged completely in
terroristic acts, although he was not
convicted. Mr.. Poletti said that at
the time of committing sentence he
knew nothing of these incidents
that the investigators he had as
signed to the case had not told him
about the prior arrests. II was ad-
vised," he said, that Hoffman en-
ioyed an excellent reputation as an
honorable citizen before he was tried
in this case"
No doubt Mr.. Poletti was in igno-
rance of these earlier arrests, but that
is beside the point. The pertinent
question is why an unusual investi-
eating procedure was followed in the
case of the three labor offenders,
when the customary reference to the
Parole Board would have brought all
of the relevant facts to the attention
of the Governor. Nothing that Mr..
Poletti has said by way of explaining
his act sufflces to clear up this point.

How--Not When

1t would be more to the point. in
the minds of many taxpayers, if
chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee and Chairman
Doughton of the House Ways and
Means Committee would unite in a
joint statement informing taxpayers
now they are to meet their first
quarter payments of 1912 taxes on
March Is.
The joint statement they made
Friday, rejecting a curious anxiety
on the part Of the Treasury Depart
ment, was to emphasize the fact that
returns and tax payments must be
made on March Is, regardless of
what other tax plans eventually may
be shaped. The Treasury officials
are conscious of state of confusion
in various parts of the country, indi-
eating to them that many taxpayers
believed no returns would have to
be filed March Is.
x Undoubtedly some Of this confu-
sion arises from the constant dis
cussion of the Ruml and other pay
aS-you-go plans, none of them in
operation, in the newspapers and on
the radio. 1t is surprising that this
discussion, as the Treasury seems to
believe, has obscured the Importance
of the fateful day of March IS. One
would think that the taxpayers
would remember that date, and its
requirements, above everything else.
But there are other causes for this
confusion. And one of them is the
plain inability of many taxpayers to
understand how, in addition to
what they are expected to do now
in buying bonds and paying Victory
taxes, they are to make the tax pay
nents on March Is on 1912 income
out of 1943 income and then assume
the additional obligations on 1943
income implied in the Presidents
suggestion of Immediately raising
sixteen billions in new taxes or COM
pulsory savings.
Taxpayers are not asking for re-
lief from what the Government is
calling on them to do to finance the
war. But they are asking for relief
in the form of simplifled, pay-as-
you-go method of meeting their tax
payments out of current income.
Unless some method enabling them
to do it is adopted, the Treasury is
going to have many involuntary tax
defaulters to deal with, regardless Of
how we'll they remember the date
when taxes and returns are. due.

A Western Justice
From the Topeka Capital.

From the Topeka Capital
Nomination of Wiley Rutledge to the
Supreme Court bench by President
Roosevelt involves some innovations that
commend the appointment. In the first
place, the former law school dean will
be the first justice named by the
President who had not previously been
associated with the administration at
Washington in a political way. Ap-
parently he had only his judicial quail
fications to commend him for considera-
ton to this high position. Something
new, also, is the fact that Justice Rut-
ledge is the first of the eight justices
thus far named to the high court by
President Roosevelt who has been ad-
vanced directly from lower Federal
bench For the last three years he has
been associate justice of the Federal
Court of Appeals in the District of
Columbia
Most noteworthy, however, is the fact
that Justice Rutledge will be the first
Westerner to be named to the Supreme
Court by President Roosevelt While
Kentuckian by birth. the justice has

There Is an unfounded and irrational
kind Of optimism too characteristic of
US. 1t is strikingly evident in our life
today. We of America have so long
enjoyed uninterrupted privileges, so
great freedom, such a sense of detach-
ment from the problems and ills that
deeply concern other peoples, that we
have foolishly assured ourselves that we
have a paidup policy that guarantees
us immunity and security against all
the evils and Affections common to
humanity in general. We are possessed
of inexhaustible supplies, we have fertile
and expansive acres capable of feeding
all the Americas and more if necessary;
we know all the answers to our own and
others problems; our standard of living
is high, why worry? Even now, with
global war raging and millions of our
sons bearing arms, there is little evil
dence. at least on the surface, that we
are deeply concerned. Every public
speaker, every commentator assures us
of complete victory; the only warning
voice we have heard, that of Ambassador
Grew, and he speaks out of an intimate
knowledge of one of our enemies, sug-
gests that we are faced with grave
and serious situation that will prove
costly before order and peace are at
tanned.
Yes, we have kind of confidence, born
of our ingenuity and skill, that is quite
common to us. 1t is reflected in many
practices of our life. Our social usage
and indulgences are among them. There
is little curtailment so far as these are
concerned. Let us eat, drink and be
merry" this is still a popular slogan.
The SOLDERING influence of world tragedy
is not evident in our way OF life. We
are not arguing for a habit of mental
depression or gloomy outlook upon the
ultimate issues of the war; we believe
that much of our stability, yes, and our
efficiency, resides in hopeful way OF
appraising, at their full worth, the issues
we face.
A phrase in the Old Testament, ad-
dressed to people in need of sustain
ing confidence and hope comes to mind:
in quietness and confidence shall be
your strength" Underscore strength"
the element indispensable to the realiza-
ton of any kind of attainment. Weak
ness means failure. strength implies ac-
compnshment, ultimate success. This
is what We are striving for today. The
