In a broad sense, the faults in the handling of this mystery go far to explain the high homi- cide rate inthe United States.as a whole.

There has been strenuous opposition to crea- tion of the State Trooper organizations, largely because it was believed they would be used in ! | law officers are selected without regard for de- } ' i 4 labor disputes. Whatever merit there may be in this conten- tion, there is certainly a place for a body of State detectives to supplement rural law enforce- ment in just such instances as the Hall-Mills mystery in New Jersey.

ECRETARY OF LABOR DAVIS can never be President of the United States because If it were not for that, a fecent utterance might seem even more signifi- cant. Said the Secretary: “Anybody who thinks that stacking a pile of soiled dishe: sousing them in suds, scal ding and rubbing them dry and putting them away three tim day {s nothing to talk about, 4: is all wrong. Every housewife in the country should have a double board for her sink to cut the endless task in two.” Even if Secretary Davis can never be Presi- dent, he is a politically minded person and may be trying out some ates. “new stuff” for his If this isn’t an example of Nin Amendment political appeal, what is it? This country is rather fond of political sym- associ- eteenth bels, such as the log cabin or the full dinner- pail. Those were fine for the men. Why not, ae *lief to traffic congestion. a politically minded person might say, try out the double drain board kitchen sink to catch the feminine vote? It might work or at least help offset, the unfavorable effects of a tariff-borne boost in living costs. Secretary Davis further endears himself 40 feminine voters by the confessién that his first job was washing dishes for his mother. What a convenient example for mothers to hold before reluctant dishwashers! If the boy does a good job and doesn’t break too many dishes he may grow up to be Secretary of Labor at Wash- ington and have a chance to tell about it over the radio phone. Politicians have at their wits’ schemes to win the allegiance of women. have done worse than Mr. Davis. All he says of dishwashing is undeniably true. Every sink ought to have a double drain board, but some- how we question whether this will win the cam- paign of 1924. The opposition could raise the bid and pro- vide for mechanical washers or even risk asper- sions of “Socialism” by advocating centrally op- erated #ree dishwasheries operated by men. ends for Many been “I haven't the slightest foar of the result of this campat: declares Ai Smith, “and I be* Neve thet will be the forerunner of a great national iory for our party in 1924.” That's. mighty good piece of auto-suggestion for New York Demoe: conscious minds and fe ts to get into their sub- ge ahead on. PNEUMATIC MAIL SERVICE AGAIN. EW YORI< was never able to understand fhe Burleson prejudice against the pneu- matic mail tubes in this city The city is glad the Pogtal Department and Congress have at last got around to the actual restoration of these swift and silent carriers. Use of the tubes means quicker and safer de- livery of mail. It means economy in time and effort. The tube advocates were even able to make a good case for the economy in money cost of pneumatic mail transfer, and this was:greatly strengthened by the Leonard Street robbery and the subsequent employment of armed guards for mail trucks. , The whole country pays for this service, of course, but the benefits are not exclusively local. A great fraction of the mail, domestic and for- eign, is delivered to New York, originates in New York, or passes through the local Post Office. Speed and efficiency in the local office radiate to all Post Offices. Improved service here improves service, everywhere. . Not least of the benefits from the tubes is re- “Half the mail trucks will be retired from service. The streets will be safet, Said Mayor Hylan to Chairman McAneny of the Transit Commission at yesterday's meeting of the Board of Estimate: “E don't think we are so very far apart.” For those kind words 6,000,000 people waiting ,for transit relief stand ready to forget a hun- dred other things the Mayor has said if only he will stick to his new attitude, THEIR ONLY WORRY. 100 PER CENT. increase in insanity in Chicago since present Prohibition law went into effect is reported by Dr. James Whit- ney Hall, Chairman of the Cook County Medical Commission on Insanity. > The number of persons who go insane now averages 150 per week as against’ sixty to seventy before Prohibition.

Facts like these don’t bother the Anti-Saloon League.
