The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool.—Psalms 110:1. Shall Accused Be Tortured? TILE Constitution provides no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. Every State in the Union has the same provision in its own constitution. These provisions were meant to do away with torture. Under other laws the criminal went to the rack, and endured the thumbscrews. When the agony of this tearing of nerves and muscles and cracking of joints was more than he could bear he “confessed.” He “confessed” whether innocent or guilty. The torture after a certain stage was reached made death for the crime for even an innocent man preferable to the savagery of the ordeal of “examination.” But this judicial torture was legal. John Petrowski is one of the men who confessed to the wrecking of “the million-dollar express” of the Michigan Central in Indiana since the railway strike began. When he went into court he stripped to the waist and showed Judge Dunn a body covered with black and blue welts, and a mass of bruises. He said that the police held up his arms and beat him with blackjacks and clubs until he could stand the pain no longer. Then, he says, he confessed. The man or men who wrecked that train should be hanged. But the man or men who put John Petrowski to torture are greater criminals than he, even thongh he be guilty. He, if guilty, is actually or potentially a murderer. They are worse than murderers; for they have assassinated the freedom of a people—more precious than human life. If we are to have torture in our criminal proceedings, let us have it legalized. Let us have it under the control of the court. Let us confess our free institutions are a failure and openly and frankly revert to barbarism. Benevolent Autocracy AT last the world has an example of benevolent autocracy, that form of progressive despotism so much discussed and so seldom seen. The prefectural authorities at Osaka, Japan, have ordered the large shops to hold bargain day sales in an effort to lower the cost of living. The Japanese government wants to encourage the psychology of bargain days as a permanent stimulant for purchasers. But, there is no pleasing everybody. Osaka newspapers declare the small shopkeepers are indignant at the government’s order. There is no attraction to Japanese shoppers in a small store bargain sale. The big stores will get all the advertising from the government’s order and the little establishments fear they may be ruined.

Nevertheless, the Osaka authorities hare the right idea. President Harding might well follow their example. If he will demand a court injunction enforcing bargain day sales in hard and 6oft coal, the psychological effect might even penetrate as far inward as the mind of Attorney General Daugherty. The Indianapolis Times and Mr. Daugherty TTIGH trees meet the most wind,” says an ancient proverb. -L X Some of the newspapers of this country have succeeded in arousing the ire of Attorney General Daugherty to such a pitch that he allows himself to indulge in left-handed denunciations of the press as sweeping as his Chicago injunction. Said Senator Robinson of Arkansas, in the course of a speech in the Senate: “The Attorney General is quoted as saying that the decent newspapers of the United States support his action, the inference being that newspapers edited by men who have the courage, in the face of unpopularity, to stand for the Con stitution of the T nited States and the principles of human freedom, are indecent • • • No newspaper that I have read has denied in an editorial, but on the contrary by implication the editorials have admitted that the injunction * • * g oes too far. “The Attorney General, by implicity branding papers which in this controversy pave spoken for justice and right and liberty and in the name of humanity, can not destroy their reputation for honesty and fairness nor can he give to them a reputation for indecency.” Newspapers aimed at—but not hit—by the Attorney General, of course needed no defender for having spoken “for justice and right and liberty,” nevertheless they may accept with acknowledgements the bouquet offered so spontaneously by the Senator from Arkansas.

Scullery Admitted to Curricula of Two Big Eastern Universities

By XEA Service NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—1f you spot a bulge on a waiter’s hip in a hotel restaurant, don’t jump to conclusions. The bulge will be a textbook; not a bottle! Cornell University this fall is starting a four year course for young men who aspire to executive hotel positions. New York University will open la spare-t.me vocationaLtraining school (for secondary employes, such as waiters, cooks, housekeepers and other skilled hotel workers. Hotels all over the country will put the Cornell students through a trainSg course in their various departents during the summer vacations each year; the Statler, Bowman, Boomer, and United Hotel Company groups each taking six. and other hotels one or two each. In this way the theoretical schooling wii! be reinforced with practical training. Move Encouraged Behind the move is the educational committee of the American Hotel Association of which Frank A. Dudley, Niagara Falls, is chairman. "The hotel bus.ness ranks about fifth among the industries of the United States,” said E. M. Tierney of the Ansonia Hotel, president of the association. “Yet up to now the school of hfTrd knocks has been the only educational institution for men destined to operate and manage properties worth millions. Opening of the courses at Cornell and New York univers.ties is in line with the association’s policy of raising America's standard of hotel service. “More than 100 applications were made for the 40 available places in

the Cornell class. After four years of practical and theoretical work the Cornell students will bo graduated with degrees of Bachelor of Bc,ence. “The New York University classes will be made up of men and women, many of them already employed, who want to increase their proficiency In the skilled trades of hotel work. Later similar vocational training classes will be opened in other cities." FOOLISH LAND Bu BERTOX BRALEY.

MAYDETfRMINE EXACT VELOCITY OF LIGHT BEAMS Michelson, Famed Scientist, Plans to Utilize Rotary Mirror. SEEKS ACCURATE MEANS Physicist Believes Correct Measurement Will Show Variance. B V RODNEY DUTCIIER United Vet ei Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 12. —Scientists who for generations have been satisfied with the estimate that the greatest speed ever achieved by anything, that of a beam of light ,186,500 miles a second), may soon have to revise this to read 186,492 miles 237 yards 2 feet, 4 3-0 inches —or some such matter. Prof. Albert A. Michelson, worldfamous physicist, has designed a sort of speedometer which w,ll time the speedy little beam with exactness, he announces. Professor M.ehelson has just returned for another years' work at the University of Chicago, after spending the summer at Mt. Wilson, experimenting in with the Einstein theory. The experiment by which the noted savant expects to hold stop watch on j the racing beams wil not be completed until next summer, when he returns to Mt. Wilson, but the hardest part, that of putting together he delicate machinery, has been accomplished. First Practical Idea Other pshysieists. of a class never satisfied with round numbers or approximations. especially numbers like 186;500 miles, have tried to secure the exact velocity of light before, but so far as is known the Ch.cago professor is the first to rig up a practical arrangemetn to rthe purpose. Professor Michelson declares that while the determination of the exact velocity will not be particularly use ful. his long and expensive j ments have been undertaken so that j another hair’s breath scientific meas i urement can be written into the 1 archives and kept there without fur i ther concern. The estimate now ac- 1 cepted may be as much as twenty miles out of the way. he said. The apparatus to be used has been ■built and tested with success In a smaller model, the professor said. “A special octagonal mirror, attached to a spindle, driven by a j motor ami rotating at exactly 800 j revolutions per second, forms the principal instrument.' 1 Professor Michelson explained. “There is a 45 degree turn between the flash.of each face. "The instrument will be set up on Mount Wilson, and a powerful .ire I lamp adjusted to It. "Then another mirror, two feet in j diameter, will be placed at the peak of Old Baldy, at a point exactly twentyfive miles away." Will Reflect Beam The rest, translated from scientific terms for the laity, is simple—to the professor, at least. The light ; beam will be flashed from one station j to the other and hack the same route. Then, knowing the exact distance the light travels, and the number of rotations made by the octagonal mirror in the course of the experiment, the exact velocity of the beam may be readily computed, Professor Michelson declared. Professor Mlchelson's previous achievements have won him medals, degrees and prizes without number, including the Nobel prize in physics in 1907. His studies and deductions were acknowledged by Professor ; Einstein as playing a large part In the formation of the celebrated Einstein ! theory.

Aged war veterans will attend the fifty-sixth annual encampment of the G. A. R., qpening Sept. 24 in Des Moines. This historic' organization's membership, at its peak in 1890, was 409,489. Now it has dwindled to fewer than 93,000. As they march Into eternity, one of their strongest Impressions must be that the Union they saved has not turned out exactly as they expected. The flag is about the only thing that hasn't changed beyond recognition. LIVING Cost of living statistics should be taken with a grain of salt, cautions Nat.onal Industrial Conference Board. It is imiossible to gather figures that hold good in any two communities, let alone nationally. For instance, a recent survey showed that a family’s standard of living that cost $1,53,7 a year in Chippewa Falls, Wis., could not be duplicated under $1,919 in B.sbee, Ariz. Obv.ously, it is futile to attempt to set a figure as a “living wage” nationally regardless of geography. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You never make comments about the food served in another’s home except to praise it. It is better to accept a little of ail the food served, even though you do not care for It, or intend to eat it, rather than refuse entirely anything which has been prepared for your pleasure.

IRELAND’S CIVIL WAR DEADLIER THAN STR UGGLE LOR EREEDOM

By MILTON BBONNER DUBLIN, Sept. 12. —More grievous hurts have been done to Ireland in two months civil war than in two years fighting between the British and the Irish Republican army. What is the toll of death and destruction? Where Is the battleground of this civil war? These questions, particularly the first, are difficult to answer, owing to censorship. The tragic story includes these outstanding points; Arthur Griffith dead from worry and strain; Michael Collins assassinated; the finest parts of Dublin In ashes; the best buildings in Cork and Limerick destroyed by fire and dynamite; a trail of destruction across the west and south of Ireland; business almost paralyzed, and farmers suffering from military seizures and inability to sell their produce;

EDITOR. Q. —When and by whom was the magnetic compass invented? A.—The early history of the magnetic compass is involved in more or less obscurity. In a rough form it is said to have been known to the Chinese 2,000 years before the Christian era, though this is more than doubtful. The earliest definite reference to It is in a work by Alexander Neckam, entitled "De Utensillbus,” and written in the twelfth century. He refers to It as a needle on a pivot which, when allowed to come to rest, shows the navigator the direction jn which to steer. As early as the thirteenth century it seems to have been known to the navigators of all European nations. Q. —What electric voltage and amperage can kill a man? A. —The United States Bureau of

Hundreds Engage in Task of Compiling Modern Dictionary, Director Explains

By DUDLEY SIDDALT. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Talk about the magnitude of running an army!— how would you like to command the English language? That’s th job of Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly. editor of the Standard dictionary. Directly or indirectly all of tis depend upon him every time we get in a first word or a last word or a word in between. Upon his shoulders—and the shoulders of the few other dictionary editions in America and England—rests the responsibility of helping the English speaking world to use the right word In the right place, with correct spellings and pronunciations. Yet Dr. Vizetelly Insists that a dictionary editor is not a supreme court. "The people make the language, not the dictionary editors.” he declared "We are recorders, not dictators. "Take the word 'vase.' It has four different pronunciations We offer a'.l four, cite the authorities, and content ourselves with stating that one of the four 'represents the American usage '" Dr. Vizetelly's job goes on all the time. For new words are continually popping Into use and each must bo seized, analyzed, certified and hustled Into the next edition. New editions are run off every few months 'and complete revises are made every few years. The business of compiling words has been organized and standardized and efficiency-engineered until it operates os smoothly as the erection of a skyscraper or the building of a motor car Hundreds Engaged When a revised edition Is called for. Dr. Vizetelly engages several hundred persons. Words are gathered from every conceivable source and each is written upon a eard. The cards are turned over to expert pronouncers and deflnera, at whose disposal are quotations garnered by many "readers" and who have necessary reference books immediately at hand.

Hotel Waiter Is No Longer Rich , Moans ‘Oscar' of Waldorf Fame

By XEA Service NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—’Don’t you give that waiter a dollar!" spouted the Middle West wife to her Middle West husband at an adjoining table in the Pennsylvania. ‘He’s probably got more money than we have.” That was what started a search for New York’s richest waiter! The expectation was that many a waiter would be found who RollsRoyeed his way to a five hour day In ,i New York restaurant and who had a busboy on his personal staff to carry out the tips. But—- “ There isn’t such a thing in New York as a rich waiter or even a moderately wealthy one," was the Information by such experts as Oscar at the Waldorf; Charley Multerer, president of the Elite Headwaiters’ Club; Nat. T. Worley, editor of Hotel Industry; Paul Henkel, of Keen's; the afternoon checker playing group at the Geneva Club, and a dozen or so boiled-shirted exponents of the table service art in as many New York food palaces.

dozens of men killed and wounded, and hundreds in prison. Many Casualties That is the story of tho part of Ireland known as the Irish Free State. To this is added a long list of killed and wounded, of people evicted.and of property destroyed in Belfast, capital of Ulster. Civil war really started in Dublin June 28 last, w'hen the Free State army clashed with the Irregulars led by De Valera. In tho battles that followed the famous Four Courts building was destroyed and fine hotels and business structures burned or blown up. Driven out of Dublin as a coherent force, the rebels against Free State authority fought at Dundalk, Limerick, Cork and other towns. Free State troops were eventually and uniformly victorious —but the price was always death and destruction.

Standards says: “The question whether or not one will be killed depends on the resistance of the contact with the electric current and is independent of the voltage, since the true resistance of the body is low, in the neighborhood of 20 to 25 ohms. It has been determined that more than 25 milliamperes of current Is dangerous and that approximately 100 milliamperes will result in suspended animation. That does not mean, however, that the person will be killed since it is poss ble to resuscitate him by means of artificial respiration if undertaken soon enough after the shock has been received. From tho foregoing it is evident that it is entirely possible for a man to be killed by a low voltage if the contact resistance is sufficiently low.

In July alone it wa3 estimated $200,000,000 in property was destroyed. The daily loss while the Valeristas were n the field was from one to five millions. Such figures as ars obtainable—which probably only represent a part of the actual losses—show this result for two months: 103 men killed. 334 men wounded. 647 prisoners. Between June 1 and June 28 there were 27 killed In southern Ireland. Skirmishes Frequent Fighting is now confined to southwest Ireland, except for occasional amushes and sporadic raids.

GOVERNMENT Should Humanize the ' Railroads, Writer Declares. To the Editor of The Times Remember how the railroads and the capitalistic press whined when the Government took over the roads to win the war? If the Government has a right to draft civilians for service why not the roads? If they had been patriotic they would not have complained. The Government turns down the soldiers on the bonus, then helps the roads out of another mess they have got into. The Government might as well take them over and humanize them. To take away the seniority rights of the strikers would be punishment for striking, and every one. even the Government, says they have the right to strike. There has been much said about cheap labor of Europe and the foreigner. How can he help It that he had no chance? Do they want our working people put on the same level?

The modern lexicographer is a persistent researcher. Dr. Vizotelly said it took two months to find the origin of "cootie.” It was finally located in a Sanskrit lexicon. Wars Productive Wars and Inventions are highly productive of new words. For ex-ample—aerea-vlew audiometer, depthbomb, gob, radio-amplifier, tank, tearshell. Other new ones are bootlegger, flapper, hootch, intelligentsia, vamp, vitamin. Words are Dr. Vizetelly’s play as well as his work. Coming from a famous family of Engl.sh scholars and lexicographers, he was born—in 1864 —into his vocation and avocation. "But when I came to America,” he said, “I was on the verge of going into the wild west with Oapt. Jack Crawford, the Indian fighter. That was in 1891.” Thirty-five times Dr. Vizetelly has played Important parts in revising the Standard, having been an associate editor from 1891 to 1903, managing editor from 1903 to 1913, and editor since 1914.

good wages that they make a high tariff. Do we believe that? For years that have been telling labor unions that all the leaders wanted was money. It was done so they would lose confidence in their leaders. The papers say Mr. Gompers was born In England. What if he was? Harding placed a Welshman in the Cabinet to represent labor. When the plan for world peace -was before the people Harding said the American people were more interested in their stomachs. Now they are to be punished for it. The attorney general took no action against the profiteers until patriotic senators prodded him ir to action. I was afraid that large majority would turn their heads and they would show their power in some way. Mr. Daugherty may change his party into a minority party. We still have the vote. They can not take that away from us. I am not a member of a union, and have no relatives or friends among the strikers. M. E. D.

BOLL WEEVIL IS DOOMED IF NEW PUNJUCCELDS Senator Smith’s Suggestion, Now Approved, Proposes Zone System. WILL EXTERMINATE PEST Method Includes Compulsory Idleness of Land for Stated Period. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Approval of the plan of Senator Smith of South Carolina to eradicate the boll weevil by zoning the South into areas in which cotton cannot be produced for a period of one year, was made today by Ed Ball director of scientific work of the Department of Agriculture. Ball, in a letter to Senator Smith, said that the plan seemed to be the only feasible method for wiping out the boll weevil menace which is materially increasing throughout the rich cotton Regions of the South. Senator Smith announced that he intended soon to introduce legislation for carrying out the program suggested by Ball. The first step, he said, would be a demand for an appropriation for experiments on a limited area on which the success of the entire program will depend. FOLLICLES™ By DR. R. 11.
