There are a lot of things that prove inconvenient in a nudist wedding. Where does the groom keep the marriage license, Wedding ring’and the money to pay the » preacher. Besides other embarrassing in- cidents may develop. Instead of being critical of Ambassa- dor Welles’ efforts on behalf of Cuba, our neighbors to the south of us have every reason to. be grateful to him. His appoint- ment was temporary and his job the defin- ite ene of shooing Machado off his perch, which he did most adroitly. He can now go back to Washington to resume his for- mer ‘work in the state department with the “satisfying assurance that his efforts were crowned with success, LYNCHING Nobody should condone, mach less ap- plaud, a lynching, but it is an easy matter’ to place the blame for most lynehings. The ramifying, cumbersome machin- ery of the courts in this country, with their hair-splitting technicalities, is to blame. . Those two men in California would not have been lynched had the people who joined the infuriated mob been sure that justice would have ‘been dealt oft'to the culprits. But the lynchers were aware that shrewd lawyers could delay the administra- tion of justice for a year or more, or might succeed in entirely frustrating it, as has happened in hundreds and* hundreds of cases of shocking murders. Too often insanity pleas have een suc- + cessful of murderers, who, after they were liberated, turned out to be sane. England and Canada. have no lynch- ings because Jaw against criminals there is enforced, regardless of money or political pull. se If one commits murder in England, and it is proved against him, he is hanged; if one commits murder in this‘country, and itis proved against him, he is likely to es- cape the penalty for his crime through an “insanity” loophole. Of course England does not hang an » insane murderer, but his insanity is deter- mined by a disinterested board of physi- cians appointed by the crown, It is not to the board’s advantage to find for the state or for the defense, as happens in lin- ing-up alienists against each other in this country. It is sickening to know that so-called alienists in the United States’ are employ- able by either side in a murder,case, and that they always testify as their side wishes them to testify. The alienist for the teens says the murderer is insane; the alienist for the state says he is sane; we have never heard of an exception to that rule. Is it any wouder, with courts cumber- ed with procedure of that, kind, that people sometimes lose their rex: oning power suffi- ‘ciently to join a mob bent on lynching some- body who a committed a heinous crime? “BALONEY DOLLARS Former Governor Smith sliced off a’ good deal of baloney himself in his homily on “baloney dollars.” "In a country with resources’ of $380,000,000,000 and. only.. $8,500,000,.-. 000 in issued money—a little more than two percent—, our money has a long way to go to reach the “sausage” stage, Money is still “dear,” which is the cause of its scarcity, and until a great deal more of it is issued, whether based on gold or silver or both, or the government’s credit, good times will have a hard job struggling back to normalcy. Five billion dollars more in money would be still far from inflation. But the anti-inflatiomists fear that if a little inflation is done, there will be gen- eral inflation. -.Or, to put it in'their own language, they fear “inflation will get out of coptrol.? k.at what happened in Ger- ‘many !”” they exalaim, ‘ He. whoisays that, should, if he is.con- sistent, admit two things: That we are as prostrate as Germany was when inflation ‘disrupted her financial structure and that he has lost faith in his country to adjust advantageously every eventuality. GOOD ROADS PAY Tt has been frequently asserted that good roads really cost nothing in the long run, but yield a profit on the investment necessary to provide them, According to Thomas P. Henry, of the American Automobile Association, good roads have reduced the cost of automobile operation from.an average of 10 cents a mile to 6.34 cents a mile in the last few years. This means that for.a trip of 100 miles the expense is now $3.75 less than it would have been under average conditions in 1925, taking into account the cost of gaso- line, the less wear on cars and tires, and some allowance for time saved. If these savings are only sufficient to offset the additional gasoline and other tax- es necessary to build the highways the mo- torist is still ahead of the game, because of the greater satisfaction and comfort en- joyed while on the road.
