Now, however, there is needed one of these peculiar) “legal minds” to understand and unravel the tangled snarls of legal picayunishness. Cases in which the issues seem clearly defined to common sense arc quibbled over in court by lawyer whose pettishness resembles nothing so much as the finicky bickerings of cranky old maids. All this is preface to comment on Justice William Hitz’s sane fnding that Albert Fall and the two Dohenys must stand trial on bribery charges in con- nection with the famous $100,000 brown satchel naval reserve oil scandal of 1921. Over a month ago, a Doheny lawyer appeared be- fore Justice Hitz with a brief seeking to have the bribery indictments quashed. The lawyer's argu- ment, simplified, was this: 1. President Harding had no power to transfer jurisdiction of naval oil reserves to the secretary of the interior. 2. Since Harding's order was invalid, no authority to lease the reserve. 3. If Fall had no authority to lease the reserve, he could not be bribed into doing it. 4. If he couldn’t be bribed into doing it, the charge of bribery should be dismissed. Any collection of average high school freshmen, presented with this classic bit of legal “reasoning,” would laugh; but our curiously, comically serious lawyers must argue the thing forever and a day. Justice Hitz, after five weeks’ deliberation—a reasonable time for him to look up precedents— handed down the opinion that Fall and the Dohenys| mat in Warsaw.

PAYNE, BURNS & SMITH When Blind Men Lead Now and again a human being terribly handi- jeapped by a loss of sight or hearing achieves such success in life as to make people equipped with all jtheir faculties feel ashamed. Most remarkable in this respect are the achievements of the blind. In New York the other day, a man who had been blind for nineteen years passed difficult examina- tions which are required of those who seek to prac- tice law. This man, though totally blind, had worked his way through law school, earning much of his expense money by playing checkers in a park. “Sight is a convenience,” he said, “but it isn’t indispensable.” The point in his case is that he developed his memory. Cultivating his memory de- veloped his brein. People with good eyesight too often let memory and brain grow rheumatie through lack of exercise. sé | Editorial Comment | A Russian to Whom We Owe Something (Chicago Tribune) Sergius Drujelovsky has been sentenced to death by a Moscow red jury and will probably be fin- ished off in a prison cellar with a .45 by some good- natured young communist assassin who loves his work.
