Next Monday the federal court at Chicago will hear arguments upon & motion to make permanent the tempo- rary injunction issued last week to restrain the striking railroad unions from any acts designed to interfere with the operation of the rail lines of the country. The Attorney General ex- presses the hope that the representa- tives of labor generally will appear in court to contribute to the discussion, they having denounced the injunction heatedly ever since its issuance. Modification of the injunction 1s belleved to be likely, either at the instance of the government's repre- sentatives or upon the motion of the court. The preliminary order was sweeping in its effect, forbidding com- munications of any kind, speech cal- culated to stimulate the strikers to continued resistance, the payment of funds. In fact, it was, without prece- dent in such matters, so framed as tc seek to stop the strike itself. The government cannot by any stretch of its powers prevent organized workers from quitting work or from maintaining strikes. There is no law against striking. It can and by this injunction it seeks to prevent inter- ference with the movement of inter- state commerce and the transport of the mails. It can forbid and through the courts punish acts of lawlessness that are committed by strikers or others, aiming at the operation of the railroads. Beyond that point it is doubtful whether the courts should or will . and it is now expected that after the =aring on Monday next the court will jo modify the injunction that it will stand simply as a prohibi- tion of acts that are directly aimed at railroad service. Meanwhile rumors of meetings by strikers’ leaders for the purpose of discussing negotiations for ending the strike are circulated. The chairman . of the Rallroad Executives’ Associa- tlon denies that there is any approach toward an adjustment and declares that the strike is waning and service on the lines is increasing. It is im- possible to judge of the real tendency toward or away from settlement from the public statements of the spokes- men for the opposing sides. They may be on the point of agreement and still they may disclaim any possibility of adjustment. . Geneyal strike talk persists in some quarters, but without any evidence of e serious purpose on the part of re- sponsible leaders of labor to permit 8o disastrous a development. Until the court acts at Chicago all such - talk is but part of the atmosphere of agitation. If the injunction is modi- fled, as it should and probably will be, * the general strike proposal will become merely a gesture that has been made, ‘without any real effect upon the pub- Ye mind. The Maine Figures. Maine votes Monday. The repub- licans are expecting victory. The dem- ocrats are almost conceding it. The poll figures will be searched closely for signs‘and portents. Both parties (will bring their strongest giasses to bear on them. The figures of two years ago will afford no proper means of comparison. Then everything was in the scale, the presidency and the Congress together. ‘Then what was called Wilsonism was the paramount issue and the voters, fn overwhelming numbers, showed by their ballots that, for the present at least, they were tired of it. The result, using Theodore Roose velt's picturesque word, was a ‘‘cork- er.” 'The republicans swept every- thing into their sack. Indeed, as many ‘political observers now believe, they filled their sack too full. They have been plagued these eighteen months Just passed with a top-heavy majority in Congress and a resultant factionism playing the deuce with their legisla- _ tive plans and peace of mind. The combination that won in 1920 has, to nobody’'s surprise, gone to pieces. It could not hold together -“through a second campaign. It was not desjrable that it should. Both parties and the country had something to gain by a return to party nor- malcy. «-. The tremendous spur of a presiden- tial contest is absent this year. With- out it what will the pollings show? and' what bearing will they have on 1924, when, agaln, everything will be in the scale and everybody on their toes? ——— ___ It is @ long time till the next presi- ~dential election, but the ‘‘original Borah man” has been numerously in evidence. Jailed for Speeding. Convicted three times running for speeding, a motor driver has been actuelly sent to jail in Washington. ‘The case deserves special notice, for this is the first time a speeder has ‘been jalled. As a matter of fact, the show that this driver has been ‘E:I nine times since January 15 at the rate of more frequently than once a month. " He has, however, -=been convicted only three times, pre- sumably forfeiting collateral on the />#ther &ix occasions. The first convic- "zlon brought a fine of $10, the second 4i & fine of $25 and the third e fine of R and a thirty-day jail term, with days more it the fine is not paid. effect upon the drivers and warn them that the jail awaits them if they per- sist. But in order to make the warn: ing really effective the practice of ac- cepting collateral and permitting its forfeiture without further penalty must’ be discontinued. In the case under consideration, as noted, the driver got off free after six of his nine arrests. If he was gullty of speeding on all occasions he should have been sent to jail on the third charge, with no forfeiture. The only way to bresk up reckless driving, speeding and other rule-break- ing In this city is to make the penaity progressive, as in this case, but with no lapses for forfeitures. And the license should be canceled whenever 2 jall sentence is imposed. A man who cannot obey the rules after many warnings is not to be trusted on the streets in charge of a motor car. A rewriting of the schedule of col- laterals taken at station houses—mak- ing all uniform, instead of, as now, uneven and dependent upon the juds- ment of the officers in charge—should be at once effected. These provisional bonds should be large enough to in- sure appearance in court. The station house should not become the court for purposes of imposing fines. And in every case the number of forfeitures should be made part of the evidence when the defendant is actually brought to trial. In other werds, a forfeiture of collateral should rate as e convic- tion and score in the record. It may thus be that a reckiess driver who has forfeited twice and been tried only once may get the limit for that one conviction. —_——————————— Brazil's Centennial. Brazil's centennial of independence, celebrated today, is an occasion of moment to all the nations of the western hemisphere. One hundred vears of progress under separate sovereignty are now completed {n the great South American republic in cir- cumstances of great encouragement, for belief that the pace will be ac- celerated and that Brazil will advance even more rapidly in the future. The United States is particularly gratified by the remarkable record of Brazil and it has attested to its in- terest by sending as its representative to the celebration the Sccretary of State, whose arrival has been marked by impressive proceedings of welcome. In commemoration of the event an ex- position is today being opened, at which Brazil will display evidences of her progress and development and will entertain exhibits sent by all her neighbors, including this country. The Rio de Janeiro “fair” will be pro- ductive of great good in the stimula- ion of trade and in the cul(l\'stlon[ of a better understanding between the republics of the hemisphere. The relations between Brazil and the United States have always been close and cordial. Seldom has any friction developed. The two countries have been animated by an understand- ing that has served on more than one occasion to foster the spirit of pan-Americanism, of which they are sincere exponents. Brazil's resources are remarkable and are not yet devel A great work lies ahead of the’government at Rio, in which it will need the aid and co-operation of all other western na- tions. In the United States the prob- lem is to conserve the resources already developed. In Brazil the prob- lem is to uncover and render available the wealth of nature. The experience of this country will serve as a guide to the younger republic. Brazilian political affairs have been exceptionally stable during the hun- dred years of independence. Though, a republic for only the minor part of the century, the country has constant- ly maintained a democratic spirit, and upon its establishment under an elect- ed government it has advanced with remarkable rapidity and with few checks from unwise partisanship. This celebration is, therefore, an occasion of moment to all pan-Amer- jca. It is a matter of pride on the part of the United States that it is able to participate in the centennial ceremonies at Rio in the person of Secretary Hughes. —_—e ‘What the theatrical managers’ asso- clation would most like to arrive at is.a censorship that would prevent the making of expensive productions that the public declines to patronize. i The discreet business man in Ger, many regards the paper mark as something that chiefly concerns th foreign speculators. .. ! ‘When Attorney General Daugherty takes up the matter of injunction he vindicates his reputation as a man of thorough methods. ————— Old Vox Populi still has his share of influence.

Arrested, tried and convicted within twenty-four hours, one race-bet law- breaker has occasion now to question whether there is a protecting conges- tion in the court. This case will serve as an example of how speedy justice may be when the conditions are fa- vorable. The defendant did not de- mand a jury trial. and now he is under sentence of sixty days in jail on one charge and a fine of $300 or an additional sixty days in jail on & second charge. If he does not eppeal and prolong the case he must serve two and perhaps four months. It is stated that the professional race gamblers are quietly resuming operations, after a vacation lapse in- duced by the renewed activity of the police following the exposure by The Star of the prevalence of this form of lawbreaking. This is to be expected. They are a persistent crowd, these “bookies.” They know when to lle low and how to cover their tracks when the pursuit is hot, and when to open up. But eventually they must operate openly, else the game is not worth the candle. Then is when they get caught, if the police are them- selves persistent. The way to break up this game is to apply prison sentences, as in the case just concluded with such grati- tying expedition. Fines will not stop it. The fines‘are assessed in effect go Into thé ‘“overhead” of the busi- ness. But prison is different. Three or six months behind bars are not to be transmyted into terms of cost and into the longer odds that attract the betters and score the net winnings for the professionals. Very soon, it is announced, the Police Court juries will begin to hear the accumulated cases, and it will then b= found whether there is any justifica- tion for the boast of the bookies that a Washington jury will never convict in a gambling case. The police say that these cases are all high-proof, with sufficient evidence for conviction. It remains to be seen whether the juries will so rate them. And in the last analysis of the matter the juries will themselves be on trial. i _Wilsonian Innings. Score two more for Mr. Wilson. The defeat of Mr. Vardaman is a Wilson victory. True, the combined influence of Senators Willlams and Harrison and of Miss Kearney op- erated against the former senator, but that of the former President was even more strongly felt in the campalgn. Mr. Vardaman while in the senate was not as prominent in his opposition to Wilsonism as Mr. Reed of Missouri, but he was quite as active and he succeeded in drawing Mr. Wilson's fire. He encountered Mr. Wilson's distavor in his campaign for re-elec- tion and he has just encountered it again in his efforts to come back. He has failen twice before Mr. Wilson's aim. But more signal still is the news from Arkansas. The state democratic convention held at Hot Springs ad- dressed Mr. Wilson formally as fol- lows: The democratic party of Arkansas, in convention assembled, extends to you cordial greetings and felicitations on your life of continued usefulness. We belleve that the principles which you 50 ably advocated as President are-im- mortal and we express the earnest hope that they will be vindicated in your lifetime. y This will be interpreted as referring particularly to the league of nations. If Mr. Wilson is to be vindicated in that matter it must be done at the next presidential election. To let that issue grow cold would be to abandon it. It must be pushed while warm if success is to be achieved. Such seems to be the view of Gov. Cox, who is doing what he can to make the league an issue, if not the issue, in 1924, ? The Virginia barber who announced that he would not shave strikebreakers unconsciously moved to restore an ancient discrimination by which e man’'s social status was indicated by his whiskers. t There is no ignoring the fact that the league af nations is still vital enough to carry on operations which must involve a considerable expense account. s i The business of Congress is slightly delayed by the impression of many a member that he can vote more con- fidently after the fall elections. i Inventors of military devices are apparently proceeding in absolute dis- regard of the theory that there is not going to be any “‘next war.” \ The public is too anxious to have coal mined to concern {tself about whose victory the outcome may indi- cate. A strike is not a sporting event. ) The fact that America has the money which other nations lack has given scclalism a new and interna- tional aspect. California republicans indicate con- fidence in Hiram Johnson's ability to conduct a little landslide of his own. SHOOTING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. The Cause of Calamity.

COBB, the versatile and rotund writer_ is not a feather- weight by any manner of means, and he sometimes finds it hard to accus- tom himself to his surroundings, as will be seen from the following tale, which relates to one of the times that Cobb was dashing around the war sone during the late scrap that was held in Europe. Martin Green of the New York World and Cobb came to the com- manding officer's abode at one of the fiying flelds in France and while there happened to run across a writer who, before he had donned the uni- form, was thrown now and then into contact with the southern genius. They greeted each other warmly and Here and There in Washington BY “THE MAJOR” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1922, Cobb demanded to know what the lowly scribe was doing in uniform, and more especially why he was hooked up with the fiying end of the Army. The officer replied that after he had served on the same sheets (papers) with Cobb he felt qualified to tackle most anything. The con- versation then turned to the train- ing of filers, and the one with orna- ments on his shoulders began de- scribing, with much enthusiasm, what a wonderful lot of men he had in his outfits. Cobb turned to Green and said: “Always full of pep and as enthusiastic as ever.” The upshot of the matter was that Cobb and Green were taken to the flying fleld and made to partake of Army chow, the same being the name applied to Army food_ After the lunch was over the officer provided a sidecar for Irvin, which, by the way, he greatly overflowed, and sent him and Green ! out into the fleld at a point where they could see all the stunts of the air- men. Three of the best aviators on the fleld were sent up and after they had pulled all the stunts that can be pulled with either a Spad or a Nieu- port, the obese writer turned to the man in uniform and said: “I want to apologize—why, those men up there are doing the things that just can’t be done.” * % ¥ % OU can always tell when fall is approaching, not alone by the migration of the blrdl. the turning of the leaves to the wonderful golds and browns that the artists so love, or the getting out of storage of fur garments, or the coming home of the heavy draperies that must go up for the winter season—there is still an- other way to tell. It is to watch the gradual movement of the ariuse- ment and street carnival companies that have been playing the north during the summer months. The old- time showman is about one of the best weather forecasters that you can find, and many of them, for years, have been able to successtully pre- dict just what kind of a fall and winter is ahead. * % % ¥ F you have any doubt that the fall season is near at hand, all you have to do is to watch the youngsters gazing in the windows of the sport- ing goods stores, or go out 16th street, or, in fact, visit any of the vacant lots around the city, and you will see the pigskins being thrown or kicked about.

In any reform of court procedure that may follow the suggestions de- bated at the recent meeting of the American Bar Association there must be no interference with the rights of the poor man to get equal justice with the rich, according to editors who are studying the matter. Early approval of the various suggestions made has been followed by a serious discussion whether they do not, after all, make for the application of a sort of “lynch law” to court proceed- ings. Editors argue that extreme care must be taken to see that speed that does not mean injustice and that whatever changes are made ghall be te remedy only conditions that properly are complained of. “The common sense of the matter,” the Newark News believes, “is that the more we can do to set the judge and the jury, each in his own sphere, free to do with the case, according to the common sense of it the quicker and cheaper we are going to get justice, the more justice we are going to get. and the less chance there is of winning the case by the ability of money to wear out com- parative poverty.” Any suggestion that will interfere with reasonable appeals also should be frowned upon by most people. the ooklyn Eagle is certain, because “the privilege of having & case passed on by the tribunal of last resort is earnestly prized by Americans, and to make that privilege doubtful, un- certain, subject to refusal. is ques- tionable policy.” There is little doubt that “the morals of this country are better than in any other large country,” the Worcester Gazette says, “but perhaps a little more speeding up by the courts and more drastic sentences, vigorously applied. would be effective as a preventative of crime.” Lawyers and courts themselves have much to answer for, the Cleveland News thinks, and “hope of improvement is not generally fostered by the corrective means considered. How could confidence ; the courts be created by any amount la'; glittering generalities if the front page continued to record concrete facts such as the Ohio supreme court deci- sion in the case of Blg Jim Morton? While there seem to be plenty of laws now to cope with all existing situations, the Allentown Call is willing to admit that “another law designed to protect human life would not unduly clutter up the statute books and might bring about better conditions.” Not only Is that so, but {nasmuch “our crime record is the worst in the world,” the Ithaca Journal-News argues that “‘we should have nowhere near as much crime if justice was administered as speedily and efficiently as in the British court: ‘But in improving the légal machinery there is absolute necessity, in the opin- fon of the Minneapolis Journal, that “there should be no ground to feel that the little criminal does not have as 2 chance for justice as the big criminal. This applies to matters of role and reprieve as well as to hear- fags and defense”” The Philadelphia Bulletin believes that with a comml sion “to prepare a uniform code of procedure, and with the creation of an Buthority to see that these simplified rules are observed, there is a chance at least that the judiciary may be infused With new courage and the members of the bar with a higher and more consiet- ent and practical realization of the s ir- it of the code of honor to which they have sul There already has been too much discussis the Washing- ton Post thinks, and “now something tangible is at hand the American Bar Association should spare no_effort to peed its work to a finality of practical ration.” ”:}un care must be taken in plan- ning y changes, the Hartford Times says, even though “there are proble: enough in our courts to make a complete revision of pro- cedure at least worthy of contem- lation by those qualified to' contem- plate.” In addition the New York Post ints out that “legdl reform would e appreciably hastened by the more ¢ise of commem sense mvelll‘n‘u:(hlcfl in lh: fessiol Behin e movemen fworro legal reform, however, is realiza- tion of a danger in the movement “for acknowledgement of the right of the masses to overthrow at will Eh‘ decisio! of the courts” the ton Christian Sclence Monitor is convinced, and “it would be impru ent and unwise to regard the: tacks as the m: expression of - content.

They were the fruit of the pioneers. And apples should be as highly prized today as they were in that early time before they were brought into com- petition in our markets with all the fruits of the earth. ‘Delicious” is the name given to a now famous variety of apple develop- ed by an JIowa farmer, and a monu- ment was dedicated the other day at Winterset, Iowa, to the first Delicious apple tree.
