Pree ie ee She = am JUSTICE DOES NOT DEFER. ESTERDAY’S revelations of the “flight in- surance” fund in the Hall-Mills murder mystery in New Jersey serve further to discredit the authorities and to support the charges made to Gov. Edwards by the youthful daughter of the dead woman. ‘lt was not until after the State troopers ap- peated on the scene that the existence of this $30,- 000 hoard was revealed. If what The Evening World reporter on the , spot described as “deférence to the social, finan- cial and political standing of the congregation of St. John’s” has been responsible in any degree for the policy of secrecy and inaction, then that “def- erence” has been a sorry service, discreditable to the authorities and calamitous to the church and congregation. Neither the church nor the congregation could be fairly criticised for misconduct by the pastor. But any influence used to hush up any facts rele- vant to the mystery would be highly discreditable to anyone and most of all to members of a church congregation. It would pe no less than compounding the sins of the erring leader. ‘The Republican position on the subject of Volsteaditm, according to the New York State platform, is expressed by a blank.

O aspect of angry nature strikes deeper terror to man and to the animals than a forest fire driven through dry woods by strong wind. In the regions at present affected by this fire danger men are fighting grimly to stay and divert ‘the flames. Women and children are rushed to ' safety zones whith sometimes prove unsafe. Railroad equipment, motors and men are com- mandeered and used for the benefit of the com- munity, In time of peril the danger to life takes precedence over the appalling destruction of Property values. ® The fire. wardens have all the powers of the military commander operating under martial. law. But with the best of opposition the perils of the blazing forest are so terrible that tragedies like those in Temaskaming district. in Ontario | octur from time to time. Tt is unhappily too late to direct the attention of City Hall to the open evidence that the Syra- use Convention was controlled by British gold. ‘Was nobody beck of Civic Virtue suspicious of the way that ungrateful assemblage dropped its H's? TESTING THE PATH. OV. ALLEN of Kansas came before the Bankers’ Convention yesterday with a vig- orous defense of his Industrial Relations Court He declared that with the help of its Industrial Court Kansas, at the height of the coal strike, produced 50 per cent. of its normal coal output and kept down the price. The court, he said, has rendered forty-five important decisions in labor disputes and forty-three of those decisions were accepted by both sides. Ninety per cent. of the cases so far before the court have been brought by employees. ' When Gov. Allen pleads for the Industrial Court he pleads, of course, as a doting father for a favorite child. But neither the failures of the Kansas Indus- trial Court nor its fundamental weakness in lack- ing the permanent background and support of a code of industrial law can alter the fact that here is experiment feeling in the right direction for re- lief from labor troubles. RL LINN NSLS AGE LL sae Kansas experiment need be ee Its defes be turned to good account in seeking 1 them elsewhere. Said Gov. Allen to ihe bankers: “I contend that it is the duty of government to provide justice for.the men who labor, at a emaller cost to them and to their industries than is now paid to carry on an ineffectual war ts can which puntshes the public and does not help the laborers.” Not a justice that professes to say men shall or shall not work What labor needs, as The Evening World has long maintained, is a new arena in which of its own free will it can put up rouging and conspicu- ous fights for a small fraction of the money it now wastes on strikes. That new arena will be a High Court of Labor. The first thing to do is to convince workers that in such an arena they can get a full, fair fight— with results that will last longer than precarious gains won at disproportionate cost by older meth- ods. Toward such a court of labor Gov. Allen and his Kansas Industrial Court are testing the path. A STATISTICAL CLASH. Cee the acceptances by the two candidates for Governor it is evident that Gov. Miller depends more on statistics than former Gov. Smith, Gov. Miller’s. speech included an imposing array of figures and he presented them skilfully. Gov, Smith used fewer and simpler figures. The conclusions reached are diametrically opposed. If a voter is to guide himself by statistical tables he will find that he needs a staff of public ac- countants to make up his mind for him. If the two candidates were able to agree on a set of figures which each could accept as a basis of his claim, the voters would still need to exer- cise shrewd judgment in’ checking these figures with the general economic situation in the two Administrations. The absolute number of dollars spent in one Administration isn’t by any means so important as how the money was spent, what the taxpayers got for it, and how much of a sacri- fice the taxation entailed at the time. The farmer's share in the burden of govern- ment for the last two years has caused him to contribute a larger number of bushels of grain than in the previous two years. The taxes taken from an industrial community have represented a larger number of average day wages. In- vestors had to turn over to the tax gatherers dividends from a larger number of shares of stock under the Miller régime than under the Smith Administration. All this because grain prices, wages and industrial profits were smaller. Candidate Smith’s acceptance was a simpler and’thdté human statement than Gov. Miller's. He cited fewer statistics than Gov. Miller. He dwelt more on the relationship of government to men and women. This difference in emphasis is characteristic of the two men. CONSUMERS TOO MUST CONFORM. HE State Fuel Administrator does well to announce that he means to prosecute con- sumers who buy more than the authorized two weeks’ supply of anthracite coal, The Evening World has had reports of attempts to buy more than the permitted suantity, Some consumers are ready to bid up the price to get more than their share. They must not be al- lowed to do so. Such action encourages profiteer- ing and under the circumstances is likely to cause preventable hardship for those who might other- wise enjoy suficient heat. As soon as conditions warrant the two weeks’ allowance should be incteased. If the pleasant and warm autumn continues for a time all con- sumers can expect to lay in a two weeks’ reserve, in which case the Fuel Administration would im- mediately increase the permissible margin, Already Mr. Woodin has found it possible to advise householders to lay in adequate reserves of bituminous and the buckwheat grade of anthra- cite, if they can make use of them Conditions are improving, but for the present the control over the domestic sizes of anthracite must continue to apply to consumers as well as to the trade ACHES AND PAINS TAke Jeshuran of the Scriptures, Gov.

A Prohibition Note. ‘To the Editor of The Evening World: I have read your paper for the last fifteen years and have always been under the impression’ that its policy was to be impartial. But when I read your opinion on the Prohibition question your news segms to be only on the wet side. In your editorial of Oct. 3 you quote a report from Dr. James Whitney Hall of the Cook County Medical Commis- sion on insanity. Why not give re- ports from the Salvation Army or the y C. A.?) Why not give opinions of both sides, which would seem fair to your readers?

However, that does not signify that the majority has no opinion, character or good taste, and it 1s pretty correct to assume that UNCOMMON SENSE By John Blake (Copyright, 1922, by John Blake) FALSE WEIGHTS. 4 The world judges men both by what they are‘ and by what they have. ‘This is not sound judgment—alway It is, however, the general practice. And as long as human nature is as it is it will be the general practice. The individual can do very little toward correcting the judgment of other men. Indeed, he will soon discover that ie can do yery little about correcting any of the faults of others. He will have enough of a job correcting his own faults, providing he attends to it busily, which he probably will not do. However, the matter of judgment is important, and his own judgment is of especial value to him. So it is worth while to consider this matter of weights very carefully. To measure a man like Rockefeller by what he has is reasonable enough. What he is gave him what he has. It is difficult to separate the one from the other, Because he had business vision and intelligence cnough to know that eliminating unnecessary competition would eliminate unnecessary expense the vil king made a great deal of money. You must of necessily weigh him. On the other hand, weighing a youth together with a fortune he inherited, or weighing him with a social position, also inherited, is a mistake. That is a case where there should be the seales were applied. Abraham Lincoln could be correctly weighed together with the great office in which he died. It was what Lincoln was that got him the office. Many men who haye been elected to office cannot be rightly weighed with their offices. Too many of them were merely put into offices by others or by their money or by a combination of circumstances. Looking at all thé facts before the scales are applied will help with weight estimation.

Unlike other old races, the Hebrews do not claim to have Invented muste. When the Jews entered Egypt they rapidly assimilated all the culture of that land. .They had brought with them such musical instruments as the “kithara” or lyre and the “ugay” Mag flute. The feeling for music was in born, but they acquired the selence of it from the learned Egyptians. ‘Phe ‘‘k{thara’’ 19 considered to be the "'kinnor’’ of the Bible.
