All the Jewish news- pipers in New Tork have ‘“com- plajned bitterly,” and the Jewish wote is certain to be sadly lacking in 1928. ' Youth's future lies in the air, we are told.

When the |fornia vs. Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney, 60-year-old soclal worker, has been ended with a pardon by Governor C. C. Young. As the governor took pains to as- sert in his pardoning statement, Miss Whitney would not have been brought to trial ‘*under ordinary circumstance: that “abnormal conditions” explained the verdict; that the criminal syndicalism act was intended to apply to organizations actually known to advocate violence; that everyone in the state knows that the social worker, friend of the poor, succor of the needy, did not come under the criminal classifica- tion. The anti-syndicalism law of Cali- fornia, born in the hysteria follow- ing the World war, was intended to make it impossible, or at least high- ly improbable, for advocates of vio- lence to carry on. Mere membership in an organization having that as its purpose was enough to make one a criminal. Miss Whitney, a fearless woman of American ideals, an out- spoken opponent of violence in any form, joined the Communist Labor party for reasons of her own. The zealous California legal lights in- cluded that party in the list of pro- scribed organizations, the other be- ing the I. W. W. The governor of California now comes forward and says the law was not dntended to apply to the party Miss Whitney joined. It the governor accurately portrays the objects of the law, zev- en years of prosecution and defense in Miss Whitney's case have been wasted. The case was twice brought before the U. §. Supreme coyt, once returned for lack of jurisdiction, d again taken there on a claim unconstitutionality, the court fust recently legalizing the syndi- calism law, although not venturing an opinion on the Whitney case. ‘The Whitney case illustrates the chiet drawback of such legislation, giving opportunity to prosecute shining marks and doing very little damage to the under-cover men it is intended to reach. A POSTCARD REFERENDUM City officials at times are in doubt as to public sentiment regard- ing an important issue that may be on the tapls for discussion and de- cision. The Bridgeport Telegram speaks with approval upon a plan adopted by the selectmen of the small town of Roxbury, and we agree with the Bridgeport paper that'the system inaugurated in Rox- bury would be applicable every- where, and could be utilized with advantage. It appears that the selectmen of Roxbury wanted to purchase a trac- tor and & grader for road work, but were in doubt whether the in- vestment was not too large for a small town. Followed & postcard referendum, a return postcard being malled to every voter. The total of cards malled was 265, and 178 voters took the trou- ble ot voting with the return post- card, or 69 per cent. This percentage is much higher than that experi- enced at general elections. Of the cards received, 157 voted in favor of the purchase. Here 1s a system that every Con- necticut mayor and councilmanie of- ficlal can take to heart. It is an easy, direct and efficlent manner of ascertaining public sentiment; it is also legal, and eminently demo- cratic. The only otjection may be that there are times when a city or town's officialdom doesn’t desire to know the trend of public sentiment Prince of Wales reads of the event he will ruminate that he knows just Dow that feels. { JItaly and France are being criti- Pized for not being on the sidelines in the Geneva disarmament confer- ence; usually by the same folk who spprove of Uncle Sam being on the sidelines when the League of Na- tions has its sessions. The governor having joined in Ralling the ‘“third-term-bugaboo” the “bunk” it looks as if the old band-wagon 18 getting rather Erowded. Here's a blast from the Spring- field Republican which might be read with advantage in New Haven: “Again and again streel railway eompanies buy busses of inferior type and permit themselves to bhe compared unfavorably with inde- pendent companies which operate well-upholstered, easy-riding hicles.” ve- ' It has been calculated that 2,130, 000 automobiles were scrapped last year, their replacement accounting for the bulk of the 3,765,000 cars produced. The number of cars sold regarding an issue. The plan then is to go right ahead regardless. Citi- zens in every city and town, per- haps, can give instances. THE AVERAGE MAN It is time that someone of influ- entfal words teok up the cudgels for the average man. Scientists afflicted with a highly developed superiority complex have had an enjoyable time ridiculing the average person, given the world to understand he does not amount to much; that he has the intelligence of a 14-year-old child; that he is ‘“superstitious, ill-edu- cated, conventional” and ahout as low a critter mentally as the human race can produce, About the most nefarious thing the world war started was the wholesale mertal testing of indi- viduals, Of 4,000,000 American sol- dlers who were in training at that time, about half recelved “standard- ized tests,” and of these 93.000 were used as a basls for statistical evalu- ation. This business continue: in about ten years, it is reported, all the returns will be in, This wholesale evaluation may as well be discontinued now, and all the statistics thrown into the Mis- sisippl. What the testers are at- to vew owners, plus exports, was leas than the cars sold to replace those scrapped. This is getting pret- ty close to the long-anticipated sat- uration point. The stone age ended only 7,500 gyears ago; but stone-age tactics still survive here and there in civilized society, THE PARDO! MISS WHITNEY Tt is with undeniable satisfaction that the nation learns today that the Relehrated case of the state of Cali- tempting !s to mako fools of us all, | and perhaps at the same time give an indication of their own wonder- ful mentality, Someone said that anyone can ask a foolish que: tion, but only a fool them. once will answer The average man is cated, say the college professor testers. If that is so, then the criti- cism is more of a brickbat against tha educational systemn, of which, it might be appended, “we all are just- Iy proud.” The average man leaves badly edu- ‘Well, what ol it? Most jobs, even many that pay fairly well, don’t re- quire a classical education. The average man has a poor Vo- cabulary, it is claimed. Undeniably true, seeing that most of them are not writers, authors or public speak- ers. A plumber or a carpenter has sense enough to look 'em up in a dictionary if interested. The average man has only a smattering of local geography, knows a little about history, has no general knowledge of civics, sclence, politics or literature, we are told. Truly a horrible picture! Still, we find public speakers, scientists, and other far-above-the-average men who refuse to talk or write about any subject in which they are not experts—that is to say, their one particular subject. Ask a doctor of 1acdicine to give a lecture on art be- fore an academy of artists, for in- stance, and note his common sense in declining. Yet the average man 1s suppofed to do, In effect, what the doctor declines. He is supposed to be up in everything. Reminds us of a book issued some time ago about what a man ought to know if he is “cultured.”” We concluded after halt an hour's study of the volume that not a single man in the world could qual- ify as a cultured individual. Here are some of the questions asked the average man to determine how low down he is mentally: “How many pencils can be bought for 50 cents if two pencils cost 5 cents.” Ten seconds to answer. “HOW inuch will seven feet of cloth cost at 15 cents a yard?” “How many boxes are in a collection in which one large box holds four small boxes, each contalning four smaller ones?” He is asked to repeat eight num- bers, given hurriedly. (That would be a cinch for the average telephone operator, who might fall flatter than a pancake on most of the oth- er brain busters). The average man is like the av- erage college professor. None of the latter are teaching every subject in the curriculum, and somehow no-!} body thinks of judging them by what they don't know of the other professor’s line. But the average man is a dumbbell it he doesn’t know everything and cannot do mental juggling in ten seconds. The average man works hard for a livelihood. He cannot be expected to be an expert on two dozen sub- jects. He lacks the time to become an expert in everything, considering that profit usually lles In being a real expert in only one thing. He knows fully that some college pro- fessors—especially the mental test- ers—are amusing. He knows in addi- tion that he could ask the mental testers a series of questions that would prove the joke is not all one-sided. THE WATERWAYS AND ECONOMICS The New England committee which recommended a treaty with Canada for the construction of the St. Lawrence waterway added that such a waterway would do more to amellorate the condition of the mid- dle western farmers than any other plan; which doubtless meant that the committee was of the opinion the farmers would be able to ship grain to Eurcpe at a reduced cost for transportation. Experts are saying, though, that the time is near at hand when we will have no surplus of grain to ex- port. If it 1s true that the waterway would materially aid the farmers, however, it would stimulate greater production on the farms and employ more men upon them. It would be an cffective agency in stopping the flow of manpower from the farms to the cities, which has been under ‘way for more than a decade. Such a result would tighten wup labor conditions in the manufactur- ing centers, ‘The more one analyzes the eco- nomic possibilitles of the St. Law- rence waterway the more one be- comes convinced that it will be an epochal undertaking, possibly more important to citizens generally than the Panama canal. MAINTAINING A REPUBLIC In common with the general run of journallstic observers, we shud- dered a bit when General von Hin- denburg was elected president of the German republic. Nothing but trouble was In sight, was our ver- dict. Wa are glad to realize that we were wrong, along with the remain- der of the journalists. We now are 100 per cent satisfied that Hindenburg is no danger to anybody. The way he mat down on that “steel helmet” procession cently was the last eye-opener nec- essary, The other day he was re- vealed as having turned thumbs down upon a monarchistic coup in 1926, which included generals like Bulow and Mackenson. It is clear as the sun on a cloudless day that the ex-kaiser has nothing to hope from Hindenburg. We rathcr think the old soldier is done with fighting, except to fight the Monarchists. The old fzes fully Te- boy real- that if the Monarchists got into power he would lose his job. But that isn't the notion ahout his office-holding.

You HORATIUS AT THE BRIDGE By Betty Lols Simmons (As Re-written for the Movies) The enemy was approaching Rome. Janiculum was lost! The Consul said, “We've got to cut down the bridge, and while we cut it down, somebody’s got to keep the enemy oft {t.” Horatius volunteered. “These fellow are from my neck of the woo he said, “and I know how to handle them.” Bidding farewell to Flavia, his heloved, Horatius went out, and held the bridge single-handed. Hundreds fell before his sword. At last the bridge capsized and Horace swam back to the Roman side. “Now,” he said to himself, “‘there’s no chance that one of those guys will tell my sweetie that I used to be engaged to a cross-eyed girl with freckles!! As the golden sun sinks behind the hills Horatius and Flavia are seen walking hand in hand near the Coliseum. . s (As Re-written for the Opera) Flavia tells Horatius in a duet that she can’t sece him for dust, and henceforth he should bring her no more Turkish Delights. In a confi. dential solo, she informs the audi ence that she thinks Horatius would be all right but she prefers Tiberius. The Consul comes in and says the Bridge ha« to be cut down, and somcbody’s got to hold the enemy at bay. Horatius volunteers in a solo. In the second act, having repulsed the enemy, he swims back to shore. The water has washed off his false moustache, and Flavia sees that he is Tiberius in disguise.
