TYesterday brought the first of the ®iolent storms that are characteristic of the hot season. These storms de- welop suddenly after several hours of dntense heat through the formation of wvortices due to the rising of great Wolumes of heated air laden with oisture as a result of evaporation. ‘When this moisture is condensed by She colder alrs of'the upper atmos- Phere it starts storms which rage Suriously for a short period. These are not strictly speaking tornado or cyclones, in the sense in which those terms are applied to the peculiar disturbances of the flat western country. There the storms ere highly concentrated, covering #small areas, and are usually merely manifestations of wind without rain. They are, in fact, air whirlpools of fierce intensity and high speed. The eastern electrical storms cover wide areas, and have no such well defined centers as the western. Thelr destruc- tive power is not as great within the comparatively narrow path they straVerse.

Bold Burglary. | When burglars can knock e hole {through the window of e store on a main thoroughfare and carry away a five-hundred-pound safe in a truck they are, in the vernacular, going some. That happened last night in this city. The thieves got nothing for their trouble but one doller, fnas'nuch as the cash had, save this amount, been, transferred at the close of busl- ness Saturday night. The transaction {itself, however, is just as important {as an object lesson in practical i thievery as though thousands had have taken a considerable time. Trained safemovers cannoc shift 500- pound weights in the twinkling of an eye. Doubtless tnese cracksmen knew the rhythm of the policeman’s beat and took advantage of his ab- sence as soon as his back was turned. so to work. Which suggests that there are not enough policemen. This has always been the case in Wash- ington, and not even increases in the police force in recent years have made good the deficiency. There ought to be enough police- men to keep the business streets un- der constant observation. Fixed beats have their disadvantagey when, by reason of small forces, they are so long that large areas are without ob- servation for long periods. In one of the ‘southern citles a certain region known as an area of serious potential disturbances s eo patrolled by the standing the long record of deaths :ind‘ neighborhood of cities, should be *pro- { rs, sometimes the families | i for speeding up the work of undercut- | tablishment of flagmen by night and | been stolen.

Example of Cap clever disposition of policemen that every block is under observation prac- tically all the time. But this takes & large part of the force. it is obviously impossible to cover the whole of Washington with police- men so that every part of it will be under watch throughout each night. But burglaries are occurring so con- stantly that the question has been raised in the minds of many residents whether the police protection is ade- quate. Of course, it is impossible through police patrolling to safeguard apartments. The thieving is done there within walls, out of sight ¢f a policeman. But stores and separate residences are under observation. Whether the numbers or in the routine of beat covering is for officlal determination. Surely this theft of a heavy safe from a store on a brightly lighted thorough- fare is sufficient to give pause to the District authoritie Harmony or Defeat. Speaking of the situation in Towa, ator Rawson of that state says: Col. Brookhart and the entire state and congressional ticket, who were selected at the republican primary, will have the support of state repub- lican organizations and will be elect- ed this fall. There are no allegations that the primary in either lowa, Indiana or | Pennsylvania was conducted unfairly. The candidates all had their sayv. the fssues were fully discnssed, and the re- sults were decisive. Mr. Beveridge, Mr. | Pinchot and Col. Brookhart were nom- inated by majoritles leaving nothing to be desired as to size. What then is clearly the duty of the {republicans of those states, losers as well as winners, but to support in { November the party nominees regu- {larly accredited? No good excuse exists for a bholt, or even a sulk. To the losers may he addressed the ad juration, “Take your medicine, an®, it you like, hope for better luck next time.” To the winners may be ad- dressed the adjuration, “Go in now and complete work well begun. Make the November vote as large as pos- sible, and thus contribute to good fecl- ing for 1924." | Bolting this vear on the part of | either the old guard or the new guard will spell dis character.

This movement was launched by an advisory committee of the divi- sion of building and housing, Depart- ment of Commerce, appointed not long ago by Secretary Hoover, with the co-operation of some of the coun- try's leading business and civie or- ganizations. The National Assoc |tion of Real Estate Boards, whose president is a_ member of the ad- visory committee, has taken, per- haps, the lead in promoting an edu- cational campalgn on zoning through the newspapers of the United Siates. * ¥ X ¥ Although there s probably no ground for believing that this edu- cational movement owes its start in any way to Washington's success in zoning, it Is known that the progress made here has been watched with in- terest, not only by municipal authori- ties In many of the cities of the coun- oy, but by otilciuls of Beeretary Hoover's committee. The facllity with which the National Capital has demonstrated that # 2ou.ng Mw My br enforced has provided the division of suilding A housing with a first- aand t for study and conclu- sions.

Invariably such persons hear watching and investigation.” Comparing him to Dickens' Pecksnift, the Atlantic City Press suggests that “every city has its Bottomieys. May they all take the same cropper that has befallen the titled skunk who has been found guilty by a jury of his own people.” Bottomley was especially dangerous, in the viewpoint of the Kalamazoo | Gazette, because “though possessed of exceptional attainments as a writer and a speaker he was without scruple. His policy of vilification brought him constantly in the courts, where he only added to his fame by his master- ly defense of himself and his methods.” This very fact, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette points out, re- sulicd in_ “the court anticipating a popular demonstration of sympathy, sought a way to spirit him from the courtroom to the prison. It is evident from this that there are still a few in England who entertain no cousin- Iy affection for the United States. His conviction, however, the Water: bury Republican thinks, “will dis- credit him with the very class of peo- ple to whom he has hitherto been able to appeal. If he resumes his anti- American_propaganda after he gets out of jail it will not have the influ- ence it has had in the past.” “English_courts work quickly and effectively,” the Nashville Banner is convinced. “Bottomley's appeal halts his dismissal from parliament but keeps him in prison. If his appeal is refused he will be out of the way for something like five years, making al- lowance for ‘good behavior. Would that other Bottomleys could see & watrning and turn to useful ways.” That he fully realized the mischief of his anti-American attitude the Dayton News is convinced and “it is no small task to attempt to discredit an entire nation simply to satisfy the animosity Which an individual or group of in- dividuals may harbor. But this has { been done repeatedly in many nations. And the result has been that strained relationships have followed much to | the detriment of all states con- cerned.” The thing to do now, how- ever, is to “forget him,” the Charles- ton News and Courler says. because “he has got what he deserved,” but so far as the New Orleans States s con- cerned it regrets that “we cannot have in America such rigid and ex- peditious justice. If we had we should have much less lawbreaking.” How | Bottomley came to be elected to the British parliament is a puzzle to the Chattanooga News, which declares that “his public record indicates the atmosphere in which he lives or pre- fers to live. He is an offense to de- cent soclety.’ His sentence by the court “merely was confirming the opinion of Mr. Bottomley held by a large part of the British public for many years,” the Cincinnati Times Star points out, and his “passing from the stage of Eng- lish public life will cause no regret in America,” while the Grand Rapids |- Herald belleves that “wherever you find the professional demagogue—the sublimated chap who spends his time endeavoring to incite ractal or reli- glous or natlonal or class prejudices— ou'll firg & Horatio Bottomley.

Scouller of Philadelphia, the head of that work in the Presbyterian Church, announces with the author- ity of statisties that the average sal- ary of & Presbyterian minister in the EDITORIAL DIGEST ' fest i ters s : study. ing the equal success of zoning laws in other localities. * K kX This survey has disglosed that, In addition to the District of Columbia, the following states already have au- chorized zoning of cities within their boundaries: California, Illinols. Tn- 1 dlana, Towa, Kansas, Loulsiana, Mas- sachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis- souri, Nebraska, New Jersey. New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. This list does not include Connecticut, South Carolina and Ten- nessee, acts of which apply to par- ticular citles; nor North Carolina, which recently paseed a city pl)\nnlnx' act granting zoning powers to the city plan commission. In the states of Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Ne- braska, Pennsylvania and Texa: aforementioned, the zoning act does | not apply, however, to all classes of cities. ; o x * | A zoning “primer” which Secrota Hoover's committee has drawn up, s being circulated here and nationally through local redl estate boards While this primer was primarily de- slgned as a guide for cities where zoning has yet to be adopted, Its con- tents have aroused considerable in- torest In Washington among those who have assisted in the formulation and promulgation of the local zoning regulations. They look upon the pro- | cedure set forth for “beginners” as| virtually a record of steps taken here ! with regard to the ercation and op- | tion of the District Zoning Com- mission, and the difficulties and prob- lems outlined in the pamphlet are thoroughly appreciated 1t was true in Washington. and! the primer so states, that zoning re- quires expert study and complete co- operation of business and residential interests with city officials. The ac- complishments possible when these requirements are et are admirably exemplified in the Natfonal Capital. United States is $2,000 a year. Also that there are 50,000 evangelical clergymen in this country who are receiving $800 a year or less, the Presbyterian being the highest de- nominational average. Unorganized labor is always treat- ed this way by callous employers. The minister never strikes, though he is sometimes locked out. He has no walking delegates looking after his Interests. He couldn't if he would and he wouldn't if he could call on Congress or the state legis- latures for remedial legislation. His| time Is never his own. People are! dying or getting married at all hours. He gets no overtime except as a voluntary gratulty like a waiter's tip.

Two-thirds of what is regarded as necessary for a wilroad conductor or engineer, who has to do no elaborate dressing and no entertaining, is very shabby. The right sort of a union, by peremptory ! aggressive methods, might jump wages 50 per cent in a very short time.

The champlonship of the United States Senate ought to be dectded. | We do not know who would emerge | the winner in a contest for elimina- tion, nor do we suppose very many people have a betting favorite, but, for the sake of the Senate itself, this | grave question should not remain | longer in doubt. Senator Watson of Georgla holds the challenge record to date, being closely pursued by Senator Robinson of Arkansas. Mr. Watson has blithe- 1y offered to beat up Senator Len- root and a couple of others, and Mr. Robinson entered the lists Thursday against the ascetic-looking Mr. Mc- Cumber. Senator King courageously stood between Senators Robinson and Mec- Cumber. and Senator Poindexter, ap- parently emboldened by Senator King's example, clinched with Mec- Cumber and halted his forward march. \ { Mr. Jack Dempsey, who is known as “the Utah mauler,” will read with pride and pleasure of Mr. King's part in this encounter, for it may be as- sumed that the latter would himself have clinched with McCumber if Poindexter had not “beat him to fit.” The state’s reputation is safe. How- ever, all this settles nothing. Nobody cares much who wins the prize, just so the champlonship Is settled and acknowledged by all con- cerned.

It is estimated that one-third of the graduates from 101 colleges in| the country where a survey has been held among the students will engage in teaching upon the completion of their educational activity this year. This is a guarantee that there will be no shortage of teachers in the country for at least another twelve months. The truth is that the num- ber of young men and young women who are fiIguring upon entering edu- cational flelds Is increasing annually. This circumstance affords hope and promise for the future. It means, above everything else, that many small {institutions may depend upon more- college-trained instructors, an element which in some of the {solated districts of the country, up to this time, has been sadly lacking. The teaching profession, as a matter of fact, is on a better-paying basis to- day than it ever has been. The na- tion has come to a realization of the need for a scholarly teaching force.
