That Sock-Darner Strike DO SOCKS go undarned because vomen vote? That is a vltal question that confronta us today —not entirely us personally and editorially, but us nationally. In a letter to thè Times editor, which we prlnted yesterday, there was a pica that thè strikers in thè useful art of sock darning return to work. Mother was a past mlstress in that art. Well can we remember how, with Dad reading aloud, she sat night aster night under thè light of a faint oli lamp and darned and darned and darned. And yet that old "to-be-darned ’ basket never was empty. When Mother wove a soft, neat patch over that big hole in thè toe, you never had to limp, either. Mother had views on public questiona, too, but it was very rarely that they difTered from Dad's. Most of thè time thè opinions she expressed were a reflection of his. But, sorry as we are to say it, Dad went to sleep politically. He let George do it, and it wasn t done well. Then Mother showed she was awake. She had been doing some thinking on ber own, and she began to act. Now Comes Mrs. Sidney Small. thè only woman alderman of Toronto, with a statement that women do not want torule thè world, but are not satisfied with thè way men do it. “We seek only to cooperate with men in protecting thè home and thè State,’’ she says. Mrs. Small is paying thè United States a vislt. Her observation is that Canadian women are more enthusiastic and regular voterà than American women. because they get more contact with city and national affairs through daily work outside thè homes. For us men who have to wear socks with holes in ’em or be told by friend wife to go out and buy new while she goes to a politicai rally—there’s our antrwer. It takes more hands to get a wagon out of a dltch than it does to keep it going on level ground. The women who used to dam our socks have gone in to get thè politicai wagon out and runnlng to sult them better than thè way we ran it by ourselves. Perhaps, a little later on, when thè wheels are well oiled and turning to their liking, thè women folks will detail a sufficient force a 9 a home guaxd, so we can have our socks darned as of old. The Rule in Sonderà? Case months ago, United States Dlstrict Judge J. W. O Ross, at Memphia, on petitlon of rallroad lawyers, enjoined thè striking shopmen In parttcular and thè public in generai from discusslon of thè shopmen’s strike and other things. Some weeks later, Attorney General Daugherty obtained from Federai Judge Wllkereon, at Chicago, an lnjunction agalnst striking rallroad shopmen, ofTlcers of varlous labor organizations and thè public in generai, forbidding meetings or such dlscussion of thè strike as wouid tend to hearten thè strikers. At about this time Jacob Cohen, editor of a weekly paper at Memphis, printed an cditorial unfavorably commenting upon any who might take thè places of striking shopmen. Cohen was cited before Judge Rosa as for contempt —and aster his arrest, but before flnal dispositlon of his case. G. V. Sanders, editor of thè Memphis Presa, expressed thè editorial opinion that Cohen a constitutional right of free presa had been invaded. Whereupon Editor Sanders was cited as for contempt by Judge Ros9. It must be kept clearly In mind that Sanders’ citation was not bottomed upon either thè Ross or Daugh-erty-Wilkerson injunctions, but upon a claimed principio of law that thè discussion of any case while it is pending in court is a contempt Editor Sanders appeared in court, wltnesses were heard and his case was put over untll Nov. 15, for consideration upon written briefs. The Sanders case presenta a Blmple issue: May or may not an editor discuss any set of faets while they are In controversi' in a case pending before a court J , Editors, lawyers and laymen saw in thls issue, so presented, a Jeopardy of thè rights of freedom of speech and of thè presa heretofore guaranteed by thè United States Constitution.

, Others were not slmilarly alai-med. To them thè Sanders caso appeared to be a Bingle locai lnstance, lnvolving, at niost, thè questlon as to whether Mr. Sanders shouìd spend some certaln days In hls office or In jail. A more recent lncident tndicates that, lf establlshed, thè mie in Sanders’ case would infringe free presa. Here is thè Incidenti In thè heat of thè Rhode Island campaign, a newspaper, thè Providence News, charged Govemor Beeckman, a candidate for thè United States Senate, wlth politicai bribery. The newspaper published affidavits and fac simile reproductions of S6OO bank notes and for four days continue d ita exposé. Then thè editor and officers of thè newspaper were arrested on a warrant swora out by Governor Beeckman. Whereupon, thè editor of thè News stopped his expose, exnlaiuing to his readers that lf he continued while thè case was pendlng he would exposé himself to punishmont for contempt of court. We, and others who do not believe in thè mie in thè Sanders case, do not believo that thè editor of thè News would Le in such jeopardy. We doubt whei-her competent cmtnsel would so advlse hlm. Anvhow, thè case was set for hearing on Nov. 2, Ave days before thè sena'orial electlon. Mcantime thè News’ editor, believing himself to be muzzled, waa 6ilent. Nov. 3, thè editor, In court with hi3 counsel and wlth an arrav of witnesses, asked immediate final hearing. He wanted thè muzzle taken off before election day. Beeckman’s lawyera invoked thè magic of thè law's delay and secured a postponement until Nov. 22 —long aster thè senatorlal electlon. So that during thè closlng weeks of thè Rhode Island campaign thè bribery charges, which are thè outstanding lssue of thè campaign, may not, In thè opinion of thè editor of thè News, be further discussed by him because, as he thlnks, of thè rule in Sanders’ case. The editor of this newspape.* believes with Editor Sanders and disagrees with Editor Hennessey of thè Providence News, that thè institution of a lawsuit is not sufficient to make unlawful a reasonable discussion of any public questlon. The Hennessey case is pending. If Hennessey is right and Sanders is wrong, thè editor of this paper is now in contempt of Judge Gorham of Providence whose court thè Hennessey case is pending, this fditorial dìscusses Hennessey’s pendi Ag in this editorial we have also made referenc^B^

i Sanders’ case, which also Is pending. If Sanders is wrong and if Hennessey is right, thè editor of this newspaper is now in contempt of Judge Ross’ court. In this editorial uncomplimentary reference has been made to thè Daugherty-Wilkerson injunction. If Sanders is wrong and Hennessey Is right, then thè editor of this newspaper is in contempt of Judge Wilkerson. So be it If Hennessey is right, and Sanders is wrong, no politician's conduct, no pending legislation, no attempt to Becure public franchises, no scandal or graft in thè expenditures of thè taxpayers’ money, no other question of any sort, which through thè medium of a bona fide or of a framed-up lawsuit becomes a “pending case,’’ may be discussed by a Citizen in tlie Street or by an editor in thè columns of his newspaper without perii of being haled into court as for contempt and being fined or imprisoned, or both. If thè rule in Sanders’ case is thè law, then thè editor of this newspaper, and regretfully he says it, is in contempt. But he can not believe it is thè law. The Muskegon Way |-v AYMOND EUGENE WILSON, kidnaper and brutal I\ assailant of a 12-year-old girl at Muskegon, Mich., was captured at 6 o clock one evening, confessed iiext mornlng, was arraigned before Judge Vanderwerp at 10 a. m., given a forty-year sentenco at 2 p. m„ and was on his way to prison at 3:30. That’s thè way to do lt! Quick Justlce In criminal cases—partlcularly fn cases of this sort —will do more to stamp out lynching than all thè fool anti-lvnching bills a lot of silly vote-seeking Congressmen could pass between now and thè last trumpet. Wilson is 31 years old. His forty-year sentence means life—which is as lt should be. Feeling around Muskegon was naturally running high against thè fiend, but his prompt punishment at thè hands of thè law saved hlm from probable punishment at thè hands of thè mob. Other States please copy. Skirts and Opticians A TIMES reader writes to inqulre if we have observed fewer men wearing glasses on thè streets slr.ee skirts became longer. She asserts an actual count of short-slghted males on Washington St. lndicates a deelded slump in thè business of thè optometrists. To be frank, we had not gone so deeply lnto thè subject, but, even allowing our correspondent is right, there are signs of encouragement for all locai opticians within thè past few days. Paris designers have admitted that thè refusai of American women to adopt thè long sklrt spells lts doom. American women are at last dictating world fashions. American buvers are refusing to take floorlength gowns—they must raise them at least six inches, they say. Club women in New York are adopting resolutions declarlng they will not wear skirts longer than seven inches from thè ground. The New York Federation of Woraen’a Clubs, in convention at thè Astor Hotel, adopted similar resolutions and expressed themselves as bellevlng women are glving up some of their much disputed rights by permlttlng thè passing of thè short skirt. Thus Paris la defled and thè modiste—ah —she is insulti Llkewlse, thè optometrlsts and thè opticians may—well, they Aay feel optimistic.

Some men have all thè luck. In California a man was drowned in a wino vat. Beauty secret: Driving too fast often dainages thè scenery.

Budget director says U. S. will live within Ita income next year. But will it live within ours? San Francisco man asks divoree because she bobbed her halr. Reai love laughs at locks bobbed.

Senator Capper Declares Coal Banditry to End By Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 —“Banditry in thè coal business is going to end,” Senator Capper, Kansas independent Republican, promises. “Deeds of robber barons of thè Middle Ages are petty larceny compared to those of our modem coal barons,” he says. “Nor,” he adda, “are thè railroads without sin. “When we consider coal from thè profìteering vievvpoint,” he declares, "thè railroads can not be held guiltless of profiteerin’g. Nearly one-third of thè present cost of a ton of soft coal in lump size goes to pay thè frieght alone.” Senator Capper points out there is no valid excuse for increased prices of coal ranging from one-thlrd to nearly twice as much as last year when only in rare instances are thè miners being paid more than they were paid last year. The Kansan prediets that thè next Congress will “go to thè bottom of this inquitious industry” to determine what is “rotten.” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SCHEME TO MAKE PEDESTRIANS CRAWL To thè Editor o] 'Jho Times We have read lately several discussions and plans regarding thè traffio regulations in thè congesto! dis tiict.

We suggost, however, that all drlvers of autos hearing other State tags than Indiana be stopped and bawled out on all occasiona as this increases thè popularlty of our vlllage. OWEN V. PEET.

But now, in thè exuberance of victory, thè Kemalist government has done several things which have caused paln in thè Quai D’Orsay.
