Fields of Kentucky by the aid of 1,000 soldiers, headed off what might have been a lynching. He upheld the power of law and order and demonstrated to other chief executives of South- ern states that mob demonstrations can be curbed if swift action is taken. The negro entered a plea of guilty and was sen- tenced to death in the period of some ten minutes It took little more than an hour to bring him from prison to court and back again to murderers’ row. By absolute control of the situation, Governor Fields found it a comparatively casy matter to out- wit the maneuvers of the mob seeking a culprit’s death without due process of 1 Through a vigerous proclamation law enforce- ment officials urged all good citizens to remain theirhomes or away from the scene of the court hearing and in assembling 1,000 members of the state militia they set forth the purpose in th ringing words “*** of maintaining law and order, peace” and quietude in this community and to pro- tect. the courts df justice in their administration of law which will, must and shall be done.” = The Governor of! Kentucky took the right stand when he dispatched ten companies with gas bombs, tanks and machine guns to preserve law and order. His action impressed upon the people that a great “= wrong is always committed in seeking to mete out justice through mob violence. A Timely Warning A joint statement issued by Governor Sorlie and “Tax Commissioner Thoresen is timely. In view of ‘better tax collections and greater balances to the eredit cf the various political subdivisions, these officials urge that as much indebtedness as pos- =-sible be retired now and the burden of excessive in- terest charges taken from the shoulders of the tax- == Payers. Those who study tax questions Rhee that the greatest sums are spent by the smaller political subdivisions. Supervision over these expenditures is not as constant or as rigid as it is in the case of the larger units where experienced officials are em-} ployed to audit and disburse funds. There is hardly a political subdivision in the state that has not exceeded the speed limit in ex- oo. The time to call a halt is in a period ~jof credit balances when retirement of outstanding bligations is possible. The advice of Governor Scrlie and Tax Commis- *. sioner Thoresen is sound and practical, and if fol- lowed will bring direct relief to the voters of the S state, for they all pay taxes directly or indirectly. ; Such advice is worth more than campaign promi St points a very efficient way for immediate alt and for carefully constructed budgets. Pure Science Lags A group of leading scientists have issued an ap-! #*peal for funds to promote research in pure science. University faculties owing to overcrowding of edu- <=¢ational institutions no longer have sufficient time ~ to devote to research work and for that reason prog- #2ress in science is lagging. Research is an important function of educational “Sinstitutions and some way must be found to pro- ote this phase of educational work. Leading sci- ntists ure performing a real service for the cause of humanity in emphasizing the need for more re- skearch along scientific lines, * The great growth of educational institutions has taxed the plants of the various colleges. Profes- abers find that more and more time is needed for ths “youtine work of instruction and‘less and less time is available for research in the various branches of mathematical, physical and biological sciences, Research is necessary to widen fundamental knowledge and the men best qualified to seck out * mew fields in the sphere of pure science must be released from some of the excessive demands of \ teaching to perform such service for the world. , Not Machines ;.. Due to the restrictions of our new immigration Paw, engineers are for the first time studying the amen who run machines as well as the machines. Whis is according to a statement by Dean Arthur |. Greene, Jr., of the Engineering School of Prince- in. University. He explains this remark by pointing out that the aaa of cheap labor has been vastly reduced by wew law, and that, in consequence, the import- to the employer of each individual laborer is ‘Breater. * Af the immigration law has indeed brought this ‘we ought all to bow and give thanks. =~ It wasn’t so very long ago that the worker was : ered merely as a part of the machine he ted. i Everybody knew that if the machine forced to go the limit for a long period with- t proper care .it would break down, so the ma- lthe employer, too, is beginning to realize it is ono of the most helpful signs industry has given us in many a year. | Mellon View Confirmed When Secretary Mellon told Congress that lower tax rates on greater revenue, he knew whereof he spoke. parative figures have just heen compiled by the United States treasury department showing in creases of revenue in 1925 over that of 1924 when in i ‘The net increase in revenue was more thaf six million dollars.

In a storm of such fury and duration that Captain Hartley of the Leviathan says he never aw the like, Captain George Fried has stood by the small British freighter Antinoe, disabled and awash, for more than three days, losing two of his own men in an attempted rescue with a lifeboat, but determined not to quit his post until he could take off the crew of the. Antinoe, cr until she foundered. All of the Antinoe’s boats had been carried away and her radio was smashed. She was ‘reduced to} the state of a derelict. On her deck no man could move hand or foot when the sea broke over her. It was held fast until the mountain of water cata- racted from her side: There was nothing to do but watch the Roosevelt, maneuver. The sea was much too heavy to get a life-line over. After the first boat was lowered and two of her men had been swept into the sea, the only hope of effecting a rescue was to wait until the worst of the sterm had blown over. Meanwhile the Antinoe, with dim lanterns burning at night, was nearer foundering every time a big sea shook her from stem to stern. Once a snow squall shut her out from the Roosevelt. j But the liner’s captain hung on doggedly. He ; would be several days late in port, but that didn’t matter. The Antinoe could not be salvaged, buc the men on board of her might yet be saved. Bhat was the business in hand, the only thing to be thought of. When the Antinoe was unable to show Roosevelt were played on her hull hour after hour. Such heroic devotion already has its reward in twelve lives saved from the beleaguered ship. But there are still a en lives to save, and, at the moment of writing, the Roosevelt “stands by.” While the Roosevelt was standing by, the SO S reported another ship in distress, also in mid- Atlantic: The North German Lloyd steamship Bremen picking up an appeal for help from the Laristan, also a British freighter, drove through heavy seas to her side and tcok cff six of a crew jof thirty men before the storm beat back the res- ‘euers. Then fcr the Bremen the game began of standing by until the sea went down. On her bridge there was also no thought of leaving a ship in distress to her fate. In this case Germans were devoting themselves to saving men of an enemy nation in the great war. The sea makes all men equal, all men kin, and saving life comes first. Only when the sea had had its will with the unhappy Laristan did the Bremen pass on, having done her {human best. Maudlinism an American Vice St. Paul Dispatch Maudlinism, which is under attack by the Amer- ican Bar association, the Assocation of American Law Schools and other bodies, appears to be a vice of the mind that is of ranker growth in the United , States than anywhere else. In looking about for a corrective of excessive sympathy with criminals that ruins the effectiveness of punishment for crime and penal laws, these organizations might do well to investigate the reasons why, such a mental vice has' become prevalent here. The familiar admonitions to mercy and foruives ness to those that despitefully use one are not ap- plicable to such cases in as large degree as seems at first glance. One may be vindictive in hatred and pursuit qf those who do him any wrong and at _ the same time very lenient to those who have in- jured some one else or committed a wrong against j the general public. It is worth considering whether a wréng concep- tion of what crime is may not be at the bottom of wrong thinking on punishing criminals. Many persons think of a crime as an action affecting only the individuals concerned. They forget the injury to society as a whole—to the public safety—when a murder or rcbbery is committed. ‘They think first of the poverty of the robber, if he is poor, and the riches of the robbed, if he is rich, and are ready to excuse the robbery. If the government of a cor- poration is robbed, the sentimentalists are not much disturbed, 4 Perhaps the State is toc much of an abstraction in this country to receive much consideration in such matters. The idea of a republic is still new In the world’s history, the King was personification of the State, who aroused feelings of loyalty more quickly. That condition cf mind was made use of in the iast war, when there were appeals to “Stand by the President.” , The public wants a thing seen —an idol—not an abstraction, a mere mental. con- higher rates prevailed. | taxes was more than twenty-four million dollars } { eighteen millions due to repeal of some of the so-|{ ! | any signal lights after dark, the searchlights of the | over this mornii | His Ticket to Tell the World 1924! incomes would produce Com- ; By Ernest Lynn © BEGIN AERE TODAY, HENRY RAND, middle-aged businesn maa, in expected home hy hin family to celebrate his son JIMMY'S 27th ail While - famil; iting, pelt f Rand is is | at the little squeeze she imparted to the By hrs : { Detective Mooney drained his cof- fee cup and lighted a large cigar. “We'll sit behind Mr. Fogarty,” he remarked comfortably, “and when the show's over wei soring a littl surprise party on him, Ne stared at Fines hand: “what's the matter ae your fist?’ Jimmy rubbed damaged knuckles, which were aeviiee with squares of court plaster, and smiled. “Another little surprise party, Mooney.” He told about the asiven- ture of the night before.
