T the small towns there is «w constable, a grand juror proseci- tor, and a justice of the peace. All three are picked at the fown meef- ings They usnally are small town poll- ticians who stand in well with the yeople and do not mecessarily need 10 have a knowledge of law. Know- ing the fundamentals of Blackstone, indeed, is the least qualification they need to possess. The qualification is knowing how to play the brand of petty politics that re- sults in being named for the jobs that are craved.

Who gets the cost? That is the question A how concrete the man was driving cxample illustrates mill grinds: Recently a a car along a country road. He was a good driver and was procecding cautiously, but wasn't yot accustomed to the type of car he was driving and dur- he | that he would met ing a traffic jam stepped on the ac- celerator instead of the brake, with the result that he rammed inte the car ahead, doing.a little damage but injuring no one. He got out, apolo- gized, and agreed with the other car owner that the best thing to do would be to take the damaged car to the nearest garage and there pay the repair bill. Both drivers were fully satisfied to proceed along this reasonable lin. Meanwhile it took about 20 min- utes to prepare to tow the damaged car to the garage, and in that time the local constable became aware that twe cars had kissed along the highway. He came running up, quite out of breath, showed his star, and announced in stentorian tones that the man who had stepped on the accelerator was guilty of reckless driving and was under arrest. Vain. ly did both drivers protest that they were satisfied to settle the matter then and there and out of court; the constable claimed that wouldn't be allowed, but that it was clearly a case for the “court.” It being impossible to argue the constable out of his prospect for a | fee, the two drivers were forced to agree to go to the court. There the driver whose car was damaged repeated his earlier announcement testify against the other, being satisfied if the damages to his car were paid for, as originally agreed upon. As usual, the court fee-splitters got busy on the man they held un- der dire charges of reckless driving. The latter was told the usual rig- | marolo about the difficulties and expense of bucking the system, but that it he would agree to a molle | pon payment of costs He would be freed of further bother: if he were chdurate, he might discover that ul- timately his license to drive would Le forfeited. And as usual, the driver suc- cumbed to the blandishments and agreed to a nolle, paying the costs of $12.66. Multiply such cases by hundreds throughout the state and one gets an idea of the species of jerkwater justice that is dispensed under the fee-splitting system. The system offered by lawyers and judges as a substitute for this archaic method would be to form circuit courts, with real judges sit- ting at regular intervals in all the towns. They would not split fees, but would adjudicate cases as they are adjudicated in the citics, with no costs to the innocent. There be- | ing no fecs to split. constables would re- | not b inclined to butt in and ar- | rest drivers who have already agreed amicably among themselves and where no great dam and no injuries resulted. dr there is the alternative of town be patterned after courts that can | | the courts in the cities. There is a humorous allusion to the effect that “There is no justice in this world.” That saying must lave started in the justice courts. It is cerainly time that so-called jus- tice in the small places were re. formed, end the job done properly. RATIFYING THE TREATY 1f the Senate had refused to ratify the multilateral treaty after the ad- ministration had sponsored it, the zood repute of the country among the nations of the world would have been greatly injured. In popular parlance, we would have “started something we couldn’t finish.” It ould have been akin to the League of Nations effort, which an Ameri- can president instigated, but which other nations are carrying on with its parent nation not in it. The “interpretation” in the report | upholds the right of self-defense and | mnimpairs the right to maintain the | Monroe Doctrine—two points which | | were not threatened in | place, ucording to proponents of the PeoPIC ioaty. The interpretations, not be- | nature of reservations, irrelevant considering that nation usually interprets a |treaty according to its wording, like |any other contract, | The treaty unquestionably had tremendous popular backing by the | people who considered it a progres- | sive step. Whether the hopes of the people are to be justified in view of the prevailing method of explaining every war on a basis of self-defense is something for the future to dis- close. ¥or a long time past no nation engaging in war reason than self-de- [ing in the | seom ever | has ever admitted | other for any | fonse. Senator Bingham, who circulated the round robin signed by 26 sena- tors, is credited with & vietory in having the interpretations included. But an analysis shows this victory is as great as it scems. The fact that in order to secure not seems to he passage Senator Borah filed the fn. terpretations report with the Senate after a gentleman’s agreement had been made that none would move to sent to the other signatories of the round consider it a victory the interpretations treaty. The robin senators merely because may one day serve as a guide if a dispute over | the meaning of the best the Bingham interpretations | form a paper victory. NAVIES AND THE TREATY Naval parity with Great Britain, which is part of the 5—5—3 Wash- 1 the first | ington pact, has not been achieved by the United States. Proponents of the *5-cruiser bill in Congress main- tain that regardiess of the Kellogg anti-war treaty, ngval parity is es- sential if the treaty is successful in attaining its objects or if it isn't. They feel that ship for ship we should be able to match the navy of Great Britain, and give cogent reasons for thinking so. Obviously, if there more war, nobody will need a navy poses. The Kellogg treaty has been interpreted by its framers, however, as not interfering with the right of signatories to resort to °force in “gelf-defense;"” possible future wars of aggression, therefore, are not without the pale of possibility. Scnator Borab has stated that it is inconceivable that the United States would stand by idly in case of a grave breach of a multilateral treaty to which it is a party. In case of not standing idly by, how is ef- fective action to be achieved against an aggressive peace breaker with- out navies? It would be like trying to maintain law and order without a police force. Co-operative action by the Unit- ed Btates with treaty signatories might involve force or participation in an economic blockade. Neither can be achieved without a navy. THE CHICAGO CASE AND SWIFT RIVER One ot th® most famous of cases before the U. 8. Supreme Court dur- ing the present decade was that arising out of the diversion of Great Lakes waters by the city of Chicago. The verdict of the high tribunal 1s somewhat difficult to understand: Chicago won a victory from one standpoint and lost from another standpoint. The sccretary of war, who permitted Chicago to withdraw water, was upheld; but this permit is temporary in character, and the court ordered the Chicago sanitary Glstrict to proceed as expeditiously as possible to dispose its scwage in a manner as not to require diversion of water from Lake Michigan for sanitation purposes. But the power of Congress was recognized by the court to increase the volume of di- version eventually to the present amount or more if it is desired to aid navigation in the Lakes to the Gult waterway. It seems to be a sort of Pyrrhic victory all around. We rather think that the ultimate victory lics with Chicago, and not with the states which opposed the diversion of wa- ter. The use of lake water for sani- tation and the Lakes to Gulf water~ | way is so bound up that what di- verts for the one purpose neces- sarily aids the other; or putting it another way, the lake levels arc as likely to be reduced through the waterway project as through Chi- cago drainage necds. The other lake ports will suffer cither way. Benedict M. Holden, acting as special counsel for Connecticut in the state’s opposition to the diver- sion of water from the Connecticut river through the Bwift river pro- ject in Massachusetts, must be quite enthused in that part of the Chicago deeision which laid down the prin- ciple that Chicage was not entitled to lower the lake levels. If the western metropolis must cease re- ducing the levels for sanitation pur- poses—after the government per- mit has run out—then the same principle applies to Massachusetts, holds Holden. We are not as certain about it as Attorney Holden. Law is a peculiar animal, and what holds good once doesn’t. seem to hold good at some other point in an argument. Massa- chusetts claims it is necessary to di- vert the 8wift river for drinking purposes, and that isn’t sanitation. Howaver, we'll leave this point for the lawyers to takp part in the in- | terstate “trial” soon to be held. The | date ts expected to be early mi the | spring.
