In all the sad record of human-| ity’s mistakes and blunders, there is no item that even approaches this in cost. : It is, in a way, a tribute either to mankind’s blindness or mankind’s everlasting resiliency, that the people of the earth have not arisen as one man and demanded that all war-making machinery be thrown, pronto, onto the scrap heap. They have done no such thing, of course; but, considering the price the war cost, it is rather amazing that they have not. Probably it would be expecting too much to look for anything like that. We live in a groove, worn deep by centuries of custom; so deep that even the terrific shock of the World War could not jar us out of it, The World War was not the work of a few scheming chancel- lors and. generals, as we used to pretend. It was the work of all of us; the inevitable out- come of what we all were in the years preced- ing it. Wve lived In a way to make war unavoidable. We realized it, dimly, but we didn’t care great- ly. There always had been wars, and we as- sumed there always would be. Germans took it for granted that some day they would fight F and England, French and English ‘mow that some day they would fight Ger- nany. Americans felt sure they would fight omebody some day; the identity of the prob-| Yle fce was obscure—but we sensed that ere would be one. So, in 1914, things came to a head—and it vened. All of that is history, now, and it’s too late mend, We can, however, look to the future. can snap ourselves out of our placid accept- 2 of war as inevitable, and realize that it ry stupid and frightfully costly. ‘\ few years ago we were in a fine mental at- ‘oe for a war with Japan.

Hf we want another war, with twenty or thirty million lives lost and hundreds of bil- ‘lions of dollars worth of. property wasted, we can continue in that attitude and let it grow. We'll have it, all right, if we do. And if we don’t want another war—if we have learned anything at all from the last one—we must abandon that attitude right away. The mental attitude is what counts. It is what produced the last war and it is what wiil produce all future wars, The time to avoid ““the next war” is right now, Gov. Alfred E.

One reason is that in the fed- eral courts, under the common law practice, the judge has the right to advise the jury as Mto the credibility of witnesses and the weight jof testimony. Whereas in most of the states a judge who commented on a witness or. the testimony would commit a reversible error. In the state courts we have reduced the judge’s powers to such an extent that in legal tourna- ments he is little more than a mere referec with his hands tied. : State legislatures are usually lawyer-dom- inated, at least in legislation affecting court! procedure. And lawyer-legislators have usu- ally united to prevent most reforms in crim- inal processes, and especially those seeking to/ give the presiding judge in a criminal trial) | greater latitude in guiding the jury to a just) i verdict. i | Despite the admitted superiority of federal; court practice in this respect, the senate re- cently adopted Senator Caraway’s bill abridg- ing the right of trial judges in federal courts to direct the trial, and making it reversible error for the judge to “express his opinion as! to the credibility of witnesses or the weight of testimony.” | The lawyer-senators evidently are now out to} hamstring federal judges, just as state judges have long been hamstrung. The national crime! commission has laid great stress on the im-| provement in criminal justice that would fol- low emancipating the trial judge from the re-j | straints now laid upon him. But this common sense view is resisted by lawyer-legislators, who are too often more intent on preserving the present handicaps of justice than in remov- ing them. Recently an assembly committee of! the New York legislature, made up mostly of lawyers, rejected Senator Baumes’ proposal 10 affirm the judge’s right to comment. And now the United States senate under- takes to weaken in the federal courts the pro- cess of criminal law, at a time when public opinion is alive to the necessity of strengthen- ing that process in the state courts.

Because c‘ tlie odds against him, there’s a moral victory for him either way. The othe alte-rative is that Borah’s belligerent attitude will fizzle out; that he wili allow him- self to become litt'e more than cne of those present at Kansas City. All this does not concern the fact that Borah has beer entered as a| Boral presidential candidate by his dv- voted home state of Idaho. Vinless the first part of June finds his party in an unexpectedly terrible fright, Borah’s chances of nom- ination will the slimest. He might enhaa-e those chances by his performance at the convention, Lutj probably nuz 2 sreat deal. The story is thas Borah must simply make goed or fall a great deal in the estimation of his friends. The two issues which Borah has taken to t:msel? are prohibition ene forcement and the Teapot Donte campaign funds scandal. These are the two issues which the party Politicians are most anxious to keep quiet about. But Borah has promised not to keep quict about them.

Possibly he hasn't mude; the outright promise toraise the roof of the convention hall, Lut he has gone far enough to cause thuse vho believe in him to expect it of him. prospect is dismal if he turns back cee One commonly hears in Wash- ington and elsewhere that Borah, “never fights through on anything.” His worst critics eall him a “trim- | mer.” They assert either that: he has lost his power to carry any struggle to a finish or that he is forever considering himself as a presidential candidate und thus puil- ing his punches, Now it is quite true that neither of those explanations can be roved, but it is also true that rah has often disappointed those who expected a great deal of him. The progressive element once thought that he might become their great leader, but they have long ago given up hope and Borah is not a great deal more popular with tuem than with the standpatters in his pou. Borah has. maintained his publicanism, but itis distinctly a Borah brand. The fizzle of his attempt to raise| bit $160,000 to repay to Harry Sinclair his tainted contribution to the Re- publican campaign chest need not necessarily be counted against ih, There are those who think that the discredit if any lies with the party leaders who ignored it. But if Borah is content, having raised $7,000 which may now go to the striking ‘coal miners, and if he does not follow the issue through between now and the close of the convention the disappointment of his friends will be much greater than ever. . eee The scoffers began to brand the rah prohibition questionnaire to epublican sidential candidates as another fizzle, but Borah would hardly admit that and in any event he has no more than begun his drive for a specific enforcement platform plank. Borah ee called the bluff of Senator Jim Watson, when that self-alleged presidential candidate was re! to have told his friends that Borah didn’t dare question him and that he would “blow him out of the water if he did.” Now Senator Jim has re- ceived his questionnaire.

Such is part of the job, part of the game. It did not take long for a man with the keen intelligence of Al Smith to recognize this fact. He began immediately.

He has held the office ever since. The 1922 campaign saw a renewal of the bitter personal feud between Smith and William Randolph Hearst, the publisher. Hearst wanted to run for the Senate on the ticket which had Smith as a gubernatorial nomi- nee, and certain Tammany leaders exerted much pressure to gain Smith’s consent.
