But that the plan proposed by the President and now indorsed by the Senate has many advantages over the present em of rate-making is readily recognized. How cumbersome and impractical the detailed fixing of rates by Congress has become Is evi- denced by the fact that the present bill has been eighteen months in the making and still is a long way from being enacted into law. What Ameri- can industry needs even more than it specific percentage of pro- tection is a period of assured stability, and that at least is promised by the proposal to turn over to the President and the Tariff Commission the task of adjusting customs rates to meet the kaleidoscopic changes in production costs abroad. Mr. Long Not a Bolter. Breckinridge Long refuses to join or encourage the anti-Reed movement. He challenged Mr. Reed to “show™ ‘him, Mr. Reed “showed” him, and he is through. A creditable position for a Missourian to take. This was Mr. Long’s second attempt on the Senate. He ran two years ago against Mr. Spencer, and was lost in the notable shuffle which transferred Missouri to the republican column by over a hundred thousand plurality. He may try again. He is young for politics, of independent means, and has developed a taste for office. His service in the State Department gave him an insight into official life in ‘Washington, and evidently he likes it. It is attractive for a man in his cir- cumstances. . If Mr. Long has further plans his present course should help him. The public cottons to a good loser—to & man who after doing his best without euccess accepts the result and goes ®mbout his business. In both of his races Mr. Long la- bored under the designation of being “Wilson's man.” A candidate for so ‘exalted a place as a seat in the Senate should be his own man, and recog- nized as such. By the time Mr. Long offers again Mr. Wilson will probably have ceased to interest himself in political candidates, and so he can try his fortunes with the Missouri elec- torate as an individual in his own right, standing for policies and not merely against an individual. e —————————— A drop of 1 cent in the price of Lasoline is erratically reflected among the retail dealers, but a raise of sev- eral cents is immediately recognized by unanimous consent. —_———————————— The public will economize on the amount of fuel used next winter, though possibly not on the cost. The Maryland Murder. Progress in the solution of the mur- der mystery of nearby Maryland, in ‘which the District police are assisting, has-been rapid enough to warrant the belief that a complete answer will soon be reached. The victim has been 4dentified. That is necessarily the first #tep toward the disclosure of the cir- cumstances of the crime. It is known that he was in the habit of carrying money in considerable sums upon his person, and that he wore a valuable watch. When found dead he had no money, save a trifle in'small change, and his watch was ‘missing. Thus the motive of robbery, at first not enter- tained because of the character of the ‘wounds, is tentatively established. <Now the problem is to find out with whom he had consorted just b the slayer. A practiced criminal, how- ever, would probably discard e bit of loot that could be identified if sold. - This is Maryland's case, but the state authorities are depending upon the District police for the straighten- ing out of the tangle, and the latter are doing excellent work. Eventually, of course, the case must be taken in hand by the state officlals. Even if the crime originated in the District— that is, if the murder party was formed here and started out from Washing- ton—the fact that the killing actually took place over the line, as seems now to have been the case, plages the juris- diction and the responsibility upon Maryland. Not every murder is solved, but, as The Star pointed out yesterday, it is rarely the case that a slayer gets away. He may escape detection for months, perhaps for years, but in all but the exiremely exceptional in- stances he is eventually caught. There is a suggestion in the present case that more than one person participat- ed in the killing. That fact would tend to increase the chances of solution and punfshment. ——————— Ireland Loses an Able Leader. Death of Arthur Griffith deprives Ireland of a capable leader at a time when his services are of the greatest vulue. He had ablished himself i | the confidence of the people, save that minority that has supported the ex: treme faction demanding a republi completely free from eny allegiance to or connection with Great Britain. L As a matter of fact, Griffith contrib- uted more to the cause of Irish inde- pendence than did De Valera, the one- {time president of the putative Irfsh republic. He was one of the founders of the Sinn Fein, the organization that strove, at times unwisely, but always persistently and courageously, for ‘i form of lynching. But we have suf- separation. He was imprisoned for seven months for his activities. At the London conference, from which came the agreement for the establishment of a free state upon the dominion plan, iffith was a factor for success, while De Valera worked against him. Later in the campaign at home these two men were opposed, and Griffith’s vie- tory at the polls proved that his sounder judgment had the support of the majority of the people. He was, in effect, the head of the Free State gov- ernment, though lately he has been little in evidence, doubtless in conse- quence of illness, but partly because I the major work of the time was the ! the radical republican military job. which was placed in the hands of Michael Collins, second only to Griflith in the value of his services to the cause of Irish independence. Griffith’s death comes at the very climax of the campaign, with the in- surgents cooped up in Cork county and steadily suffering defeat as they retire before the advancing govern- ment forces. To other hands must be intrusted the difficult work of organi- zation when peace is restored in Ire- land, which cannot now be long post- poned. Griffith’s rare judgment will be missed, but there are other men who have learned statesmanship in the years of struggle. The prayer of all the friends of Ireland, so unhappy in her long and sometimes unwise struggle for independence, is that Griffith’s death will not retard the firm settlement in genuine freedom that the treaty of London permits, and that very quickly the Irish Free State will flourish in quiet and prosperity. Law Enforcement. force the laws—all laws. Play no favorites. Let no violation of any law be winked at. The spirit of Iynching is abroad, and widely distributed. It is not confined to section, or to thing. Here it lunges at one thing; there, at another; yonder, at nearly everything. It has grown and spread so in the past decade, it is now a commonplace.

We have grown familiar with that, condoned it, and encouraged it. Rum-running is & form of lynching —lynching the law—and we are be- coming familiar with it. Now and then it takes the aspect of a frolic. A chase at sea after a rum-laden craft, or on land after a rum-aden automobile, carries the tang of sport. At all times it is an industry, and when successful highly profitable. ‘When all lynchers come to look alike to law officers and to the public, and public opinion comes to demand, and then to sustain, the enforcement of all laws while they remain on the books, we shall have such conditions in the country as make for peace and pros- perity, and not before. ———————e It would be entirely too much to ex- pect Referee Will Hays to adjudicate all the matrimonial disturbances which complicate the business of the fllms. —t— There is no thorough satisfaction in a strike” settlement which workers agree to only for the purpose of ac- cumulating another strike fund. —————— In order to avert governmental re- sponsibility for the mark, several Ger- man statesmen favor having as little government as possible. ————— The consuming public is goncerned only with possibilities of priority rights.

She was a sufferer from nervous ailments and was at liberty to move about. Enter- ing a bathroom, she crawled through a windew on a porch, and from that jumped to the ground. This case ‘brings up once, more the question of with fair certainty. The fact that the | merous cases have occurred in this watch was taken may ald in tracing ! District of patients jumping or falling 'gested that the presence of bars in from windows; and from time to time the matter has been discussed, with- out, however, any fixed rule of prac- tice. It would seem on the whole that the safest course should be io make it tmpossible for any person to escape through a window of a hospital, es- pecially on the upper stories. De- lirlum may develop from fever with- out warning, and in delirlum may come the impulse to flee, possibly to commit suicide. It is impossible to maintain a constant watch on every patient. Some of them, as in the pres- ent , must be given a certain amount of freedom in the building. The suicidal motive can be only rarely foreseen, and surely it is better to take & 100 per cent precaution egainst even a 1 per cent possibility than to leave the way open to self-destruction by accident or design. It has been sug- windows is undesirable through hav- ing an unwholesome psychological ef- fect upon the patients. But it is not necessary to use bars. Stout metal screens that are no more conspicuous than ordinary fly screens can be used, so securely fastened to the window frames that they cannot be moved without tools. Such an equipment would - have prevented yesterday's tragedy. A New New York Figure. A new man is under discussion in New York democra circles in con- nection with that party's state leader- ship. This is District Attorney Banton, elected last fall on the ticket headed by Mayor Hylan. During his brief service in office he has impressed his party friends so favorably, some of them are booming him for governor. The nomination will be made next month. There is quite a howdy-do over the nomination. Former Governor Smith is being boomed, though he is silent on the subject. He is probably the most popular democrat in the state. Mayor Hylan is booming William’ Randolph Hearst, and he is booming Mayor Hylan. They are exchanging some warm compliments as to the emergency and what it calls for. Each thinks the other would fill the bill to a T.” But the mayor insists that his proper place is where he now is; that he should continue there for the time specified in his election. The democrats must meet an excep- tionally strong man. In Gov. Miller, reasonably certain to lead them again, the republicans have a “find” of great value. He did not seek politics, but poli- tics sought him; and in politics he has scored in a few years as few men have done. He is complimented by a com- parison with Secretary Hughes, who, like himself, preferred the law, but once in politics developed a striking capacity for the field. The renomina- tion of Gov. Miller will be made by acclamation.

EDITORIAL DIGEST Blaming Dead Engineer Seems Easy Way Out. Because the coroner's jury first re- turned an “open verdict,” only to reconsder at the demand of that of- ficial and amend its decision holding the engineer, killed with thirty- seven others, to blame for the fatal wreck at Sulphur Springs, Mo., there is a suggestion of impatience on the part of a number of editors, who point out that “blaming the dead man” has been a favorite method of avoiding placing complete re- sponsibility for many railroad wrecks of the past. There also is a general demand to know why the automatic train con- trol that was ordered by the Inter- state Commerce Commission cannot be put into general use sooner than was intended. The proneness of hu- raanity to err is admitted and cer- tain papers point out-that if it was true that Engineer Matthew Glenn actually was reading orders thrown to him shortly before the accldent, and that this caused him to pass block signals shown against him, the automatic control would have nlcted and would have saved the vic- tims. The verdict blaming Glenn, the Syracuse Herald says, “does not ap- proach satisfaction so far as the public is concerned. Such a verdict obviously is the easiest way and, of course, sometimes the only way, to assess the blame. The public inter- est in safety In transportation clearly requires a stronger agency of con- trol than a local coroner's jury easily influenced by personal or local considerations. A few years ago rallroads and transportation corpora- tions started a campaign for ‘safety first.” It produced good results. But this blg question cannot be left en- tirely to the companies and their empioyes. If it were, the 'blame-it- on-the-dead-man’ policy might be even more generally used. A stronger arm of public control to prevent such disasters is needed.” It was "a resolution passed by Congress sixteen years ago,” the Providence Journal recalls, which di- rected the Interstate Commerce Com- mission to “investigate and report on sultable devices” automatically to stop trains when signals were ig- nored. The Journal admits that the war “appears to have postponed” an intention to introduce the control system on a large scale and repeats that collisions of this sort will con: tinue to occur “until automatic train control devices are installed to pro- tect against human failure.” It should be remembered, the Water- town Stanard points out, “that dead men are beyond the power of human punishment, and dead men usually are blamed for tragedies. When the rallroads are equipped with devices that automatically stop trains when the block is set against them this type of accident will be averted. The finest block system in the world does not prevent tragedy unless the hu- man element is as infallible as the mechanical. In this case it appears not to have beén. Automatic stop- ping devices on railroads will be a legal requi: ent very soon.” ‘ar as the verdict blaming En- gineer Glenn is concerned, the Pitts- burgh Dispatch argues that “the jury may have had evidence justifying this return, but the reports raise a |ture: question whether there was not con- tributory negligence elsewhere.” The worth something. There is no pos- sible excuse for nine out of ten of the wrecks that take toll of hu- manity.” As the Springfield Republican views it, “it is commonplace to say that the human factor fails unaccountably. Railroads have now reached a stage where they must employ both psycho- logical and mechanical means to guard the public against these u countable lapses.” This wreck, more than any other in recent years, the Little Rock Arkansas Gagzette points out, “showed the Incalculably valu able service that might be performed hy automatic train stops. With such equipment in use the heavy through train speeding toward the train of wooden coaches would have been stopped by mechanical hands and death would have been robbed of his terrible harvest. Notwithstanding the entire dis- connection of the strike from the cause of the wreck,” says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “the horror of the tragedy is bound to increase pub- lic apprehension. That state of pub- lic feeling, therefore, argues the more emphatically for the speedy settlement of the strike. It argues the infinite importance of human life | as against small points of pride and desire for gain. There is an appeal from the dead that there shall be no more unnecessary dead.” Next—The Cradle. f autos that dally pass R SO G RTSRRS RLR A Boy evangelists have ceased to be a | g novelty.
