For these and other reasons we have little patience for those who belittle the efforts of Borah, or any other per- son to outlaw war—that is, to substitute any orderly and reasoning process for the settlement of differences in place of war. mocratic less Managing a Wife Over in Chicago there is a man named Abelson. longs to that considerable class of men who frankly and hestily admit they “know how to manage a wif You know the kind. This world is full of them. Where they zo from here is conjectural. Well, Abelson prepared eight -ommandments for his better half to live by. He made up ais mind to have order and system and love and economy and everything in his domestic circle, and so he laid down these laws: “Show love; show sympathy and affection; be happy; be jolly; learn to give and take; remember the word ‘apolo- gize’ and use it; respect me; live on the allewance you get.” Eight—count ’em! Mrs. Abelson read them. She got along finely with seven of the commandments because they invited so many different kinds of laughter. Then she read the eighth and —zip—bang! It was all off. She discovered that $25 per week was to be her allowance. Out of that she was to feed the family, pay help, clothe herself, etc. She ripped the commandments up the back and down the front and touch- ed off the fireworks. Bam! Mr. Abelson will now have to meet separate maintenance, much to his surpr He can’t see what is the matter with his carefully prepared system of wife-management or why it went kerfoolie. The court may tell him, and emphasize it by touching his purse, but Abel- son, in all probability, will not be entirely convinced. He may come to know, however, that “managing a wife’ is a hazardous occupation, even if it is not listed as such by the life insurance companies. He be- suit in court for No Limit in the Sky Long has it been known of men that England assumed to control the high seas and other things, but no one ever supposed that that country would attempt to establish legal jurisdiction over the empyrean dome. It has done that v thing. Also, not a few of its citizenry are up in the air about it. A few days ago, the mossy house of lords took a wham at the unsightly advertising signs, of all kinds, that of- fend the heavy English eye in every direction. Almost unanimously, a law against these signs was passed. On the prohibited list mentioned in the law is the writing of advertisements in the sky by means of smoke from an airplane. What the courts over there may do to this new law is purely a matter of speculation. It may fall down because no limit of jurisdiction is provided. From land and sea to the farthest reach of azure blue, English authority is established in the air by this law. Even for England, that is going a bit too far, it may be. Over here we would have been more modest. We would have established a three-mile limit or something like that, and, perhaps, our supreme court would have upheld it—who knows? But England is not modest. She will claim anything that hasn’t been nailed fast by another. None had nailed the s : Anyway, the law now stands. Henceforth, any aviator who hangs an advertisement for cigarets or soap even on the far ramparts of heaven is going to get himself in an English jail. Encouraging Crime Crime cannot be stamped out by the most efficient po- lice force in the world unless criminals are given justice as the law defines justice. And everyone knows that American laws are so drawn that criminals have merely a perfunctory respect for them. Either Harry Tate, negro, confessed sla Jones, killed in self-defense, or was guilty of murder. Jones, another negro, was shot down during a drunken brawl. The fact that the men were drunk does not al- leviate the crime, but heightens it. If men can violate the law by drinking and then, because they have with im- punity ignored one law, violate the law against murder, law enforcement becomes a hopel task. l ither prosecute cases idence warrants, withdraw such ‘ | sentence for taking human life pr a gross inj » to the man sentenced or a ghastly joke. If is innocent he should not be in jail as the law countenances killing in self-defense, ‘The safest Cae a element of doubt appeared in the case, was to place the facts before a P sors Of 5 accused and let it decide, ek Shad tal aia ix months’ THAT RARE BIRD, THE SEATTLE STAR THE WHAT-IS-IT with your toes as awear and when you go to sit down; y degrees—and that is the his trade, any guy is a goof who fixes a roof! | | | crowned ir he azas, now In his 94th year id general famlly yen from Mexico 10 the Madero revolution.
