Crime and Criminals All tbinkinc citizens will applaud the announcement of Governor Leslie that he intends to turn the reformatories into repair shops for damaged manhood rather than penitentiaries for vengeance and punishment. A few months intimate contact with the state institutions have apparently changed the first, thought of the Governor that lie must be “hard boiled” and merciless toward those who had been convicted of offenses. He has now come to the better view that our prisons are intended In reclaim and salvage, not to wreak vengeance. The prison system, whenever brutality has dominated the policy, has failed. Ihe reformatories have too often been mere schools for crime. The trail has too often led irom t h•* boys’ school through the reformatory to the cell at Michigan City or the electric chair. Prisons whose wardens have been men oi understanding and sympathy have not been able to accomplish much in reclaiming men to society. The percentage of repeaters goes down as humanity supplants the paddle, the solitary and the “spot. It is especially necessary that the reformatories for first offenders he conducted by men who do not depend on force and brutality to obtain discipline within the prison. A youth sent from a prison with rebellion and hatred in his heart will inevitably fight against the social order-which he has come to hate. Laws mean nothing to him. His viewpoint of right and wrong is clouded by memories of brutal treatment. The announcement of the Governor of his policy should cause the trustees of the institutions which have pursued a different, attitude to ask themselves whether they can really carry out the Governor's policy. The law now gives unlimited power to trustees of penal institutions. Prisoners remain a-- long as the trustees demand. Xo trustee should he willing to remain on any prison hoard who is not in sympathy with the new policy. Certainly the old plan has failed. The Governor should he given a chance to try humanity and understanding. At the same time that the Governor was sounding his new note of progress, Chief Justice Martin was calling the attention of the year's crop of new lawyers to the fact that crime is now being protected on a weekly wage basis. There are lawyers, he more than suspects, who have bargains with bootleggers and gangsters to protect, them when they are unwise enough to be caught, and who charge by the week or month. That: he points nui, makes the lawyer the partner in the crime, inasmuch as the lawyer is hired before it is committed. Whether there be any such lawyers may not he questioned. Whenever any of the Capone gang of Chicago is caught in Indiana, one of two lawvers. very well known and very close to the political gang, appears with bondsmen and advice. The regularity with which certain firms defend every bandit, holdup man and gangster suggests an understanding of this sort. These lawyers are not disbarred. They are envied and honored. When the political boss has favors to hand out. he gives it to these defenders of crooks. * The chief justice may warn, but boys smart enough to pass an examination probably will understand that the quick way to fortune is to get in with a political gang that has alliances with the underworld. The manufacture of criminals can he traced very distinctly to machine government. Crooked politics and crime arc more than cousins. They sleep in the same bed. And crooked politics and crime depend on crooked lawyers. A few disbarments, starting at the top of political law firms, might help to curb crime. Speaking of Law Enforcement Speaking of law enforcement, the house of representatives tentatively has passed an amendment to the census bill penalizing southern states which deny Negroea the right to vote under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. This probably would cut in half the present southern representation in congress and in presidential elections. At tbe same time Justice Groner in Richmond has ruled the Virginia primary law contrary to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. The situation between cheering northern Republicans and jeering southern Democrats became so •tense Tuesday and Wednesday that the house was adjourned. Probably the storm will pass as quickly as it came At least the old expedient of a trade between leaders already is discussed. The southerners, together with other agricultural and dry representatives, had pushed through an amendment penalizing the urban cast and north by eliminating aliens from the census count upon which congressional apportionment will be based. So there may be a trade by which both the Negro and alien amendments to the census bill will be killed. But nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution doubtless will continue from time to time to bob up as an issue to embarrass the south. It seems inevitable that the more

the southern dry bloc uses the eighteenth amendment to club the wet east on the liquor issue, the more the cast will retaliate by insisting on enforcement of the Negro enfranchisement amendments. Altogether apart from such issues as the rights of American -citizens and the sanctity of the Constitution, rhe present furore in the house should be a revelation to the country on a problem of law enforcement which is much older than prohibition and which has a direct bearing on the prohibition issue. However disagreeable the confession may be, the fact is that a civil war. two constitutional amendments and more than sixty years of crusading have not made certain sections of the south obey a basic law in which they do not believe. The south is not unique in this kind of "lawlessness.” It always has been the custom of large groups of free men everywhere to ignore any law which they considered detrimental to their community interests. The rights or wrongs in any particular case oi mass disobedience always are a matter of dispute. But no one can dispute the fact that such civil disobedience is resorted to generally in the case of unpopular laws. When such mass disobedience is resorted to—whether justifiably or not—there is nothing much that a government can do about it. Because in such a case it comes up squarely against the limitations of law, which is that a law is effective to the degree that it rests on popular consent and no further. Law enforcement machinery and police can cope effectively with occasional offenders, but law enforcement machinery and police can not cope with mass disobedience. Whatever congress, the courts and the President may do about it, the south will continue to find ways to nullity the fourteenth and fift enth amendments until the south is persuaded of the rightness of those amendments. Whatever congress, the courts and the President may do about it. that large group of otherwise lawabiding citizens to whom Mr. Hoover has referred wall continue to find ways to nullify the prohibition law so long as they sincerely believe it is unjust. We may like it or not, but that is the limitation of law and that is the experience of all civil governments. i A National Monkey Law American scholars and teachers are rising in indignation at the amendment to the new tariff law which would prohibit the importation of what customs officials consider seditious and radical foreign literature. We hope other leaders of the historical and political sciences will join this chorus until the amendment is buried under its own jackassity. Its origin is a mystery. Chairman Hawley of the house ways and means committee says he can t remember where it came from, but Republican members of the committee thought it was a good thing and stuck it in. These fifteen Republicans ought to be immortalized with the legislative fathers of the Tennessee monkey law'. Just how eagerly the customs .service, with its several thousand censors, would jump at the chance to keep such men as Zechariah Chafee. Charles A. Beard. Professor E. A. Ross and other sociologists who try to inform us of the way the world is going, from studying foreign movements, is shown by the recent barring of “Candidc,” Voltaire's great book. They barred “Candide” under the obscenity statute already in force. It is not obscene. There are bawdy situations touched in it, of course, but so lightly that the youngest reader's morals could not be affected. We might as well admit it. “Candide” is a revolutionary book, and if the customs men did their duty under this national monkey law they would bar it together with the best of Anatole France. Gorki, Tolstoy, Shaw, Wells. Barbusse, Remain Holland and hundreds of others. Os course there arc many other provisions in the new tariff bill mischievous to our prosperity at home and our friendships abroad. But for sheer asininity this one takes the prize.

Proverbs Tell Weather

No. 374

WEATHER often can be forecast a short time ahead from observation of the clouds. This is natural, since the height, extent, and shape of clouds depends upon the temperature, the humidity and the air currents. Asa result, many weather proverbs have grown up which are pretty accurate since they embody con-

hand, when the cirrus grow denser and when cirrocumulus clouds develop, rain within twenty-four hours is likely. This is embodied in an old proverb, which states; "Mackerel scales and mares' tails Make lofty ships carry low sails.” The development of large cumulus clouds before noon, is usually the forerunner of a thunder storm in the afternoon. An old proverb says; “In the morning mountains. In the evening fountains.” The cumulus clouds, it will be remembered, are huge, towering clouds. A fair day usually follows if a fog clears early in the morning.' But if the fog hangs on. rain usually will follow. This is implied in the proverb which says: “Mists dispersing on the plain Scatter away the clouds and ram; But when they hang on the mountain tops They'll soon descend in copious drops." Clouds of the lower and intermediate type, if moving from north to south usually indicate fair weather for a day or two. If they are moving from east to south, rain usually follows in twenty-four hours. This is due. of course, to the fact that the cloud motion indicates which quadrant of the cyclone the observer is in. An old proverb goes- “ When the carry goes west, Gude weather is past Whes the carry goes east Guae weather comes nest.”

Just A 'ore Politics Is Dancing to the “ Get-Rich-Quick. ’ Tune: and We Insist That j the T>o\r Go On , Xo Matter Who Is Hurt. THE Connecticut Bar Association disapproves the graduates of j certain law schools. Generally speaking, these schools j give evening courses. In explaining the bar association's ! action, its secretary, James E. Wheeler, says that it was not aimed | at particular law- schools, or at poor j men who are compelled to work ! their way through. Mr. Wheeler says that the idea | is to discourage the continuance of i law courses for those who work day j and do their studying at night. Answering this objection, Dean j W. P. Richardson of the Brooklyn i Law' school, one of those coming I under the Connecticut ban. charac- | terizes the action as “un-American I and against the standards of education.” a a tt Night School Lawyers THE controversy thus raised comes down to the question of j whether we shall accept men for j w'hat they know' and are or for the i motions they have gone through in ; accordance with a prescribed system. Admitting that a full time threej years’ course is desirable, no one can dispute the fact that good lawyers have come out of night schools, ! or that good law'yers have been de- ! veloped without any schools. The thought that young people ; must be run through a certain kind | of mill, regardless of their circum- | stances, individual character of talj ents, is not only preposterous per ! se, but contrary to the teachings of | human experience. xt tt tt The People's Bidding MRS. RUTH OWEN, Democratic congresswoman from Florida and daughter of the late William Jennings Bryan, says she is not going back on her party or her distinguished father in supporting the j Hawley-Smoot tariff bill. She says that that is what her constituents want and that she is in congress to do what they want, i “There are tw'o theories of representation,” she explains. “First, : that a representative is elected to ' do the bidding of his constituents, and second that he is elected with a mandate to follow' his own judgment and inclination. I hold to the former theory.” a a tt Democrats and Tariff WHATEVER one may think of Mrs. Owen's theory her attitude certainly shows how 7 times have changed. Her constituents are supposed to be Democrats and Democrats are supposed to be against a high protective tariff such as the Haw'ley-Smoot bill wrnuld impose. That they should want her to! support that bill rather is more I significant than her own willing- ! ness to do so. The Democratic attitude toward ! the tariff is simply not w'hat it used to be. a a tt 'Get-Rich-Quick’ Dance 'T'HE doctrine of protection seems J to have infatuated most of us. We not only have come to believe that it can be utilized to produce prosperity, but that prosperity constitutes the chief end and aim of government. Just now politics is dancing to the “get-rich-quick” tune, and we insist that the tune go on, no matter w'ho is hurt or what is risked. To sum it up. we are using our stupendous gold reserve, and our still more stupendous industrial structure to blackjack other people, compelling them to buy from us at arbitrary prices because they can t get it elsewhere; attempting to set. up an economic dictatorship. tt tt B Going Too Far THIS tariff bill, which Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen supports, because her constituents want her to, is the ! worst of its kind ever written. That, however, is not the most 1 alarming aspect of the present situation. i We have come to a point where ;we would go fartheV than tariffs, where we would barricade ourselves : in all kinds of ways; where we are 1 | willing to exclude people as well as | goods, and ideas as well as people; The reapportionment bill just apj proved by congress acting as a comI mittee of the whole, is an example j in point. r tt tt ■ Nation of Pharisees NTCHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, president of Columbia univerj shy. does not go too far when he ■ suggests that we are becoming a nation of PHarisees. Having convinced ourselves that j we were tco good to trade with the j rest of the world on equal terms, we j now are presenting ourselves as Mo | good to rub elbows with it. We will not sit down at the coun- | cil of a League of Nations, join the j world court, admit bolshevik prop- | aganda. permit Mme Schwimmer to I become a citizen, or allow Voltaire’s "Candide” to be imported. The same idea is back of it ail; I we have become so superior in our i own estimation that we feel coni tact with other people might con- : taminate us. and this too. right ! after fighting a war to "save the world for democracy.”

sidei'able observati o nos clouds. One of these states: “The higher the clouds, the finer the weather.” It is a fact that when thin cirrus clouds are observed and these clouds do not appear to be growing thicker, that fair weather can be expected for the next twentyfour hours. On the other

BY. DR, MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, Wse Halth Magazine. Four-fifths of ail of the calcium in the body is associated closely with phosphorus, this combination entering into the composition of bone. The growing child requiries much of this substance to i meet its needs. . Phosphorus is found in mother’s i milk to the amount of 3:5 milligrams. It occurs in egg white to j the extent of 2 milligrams to each | thousand grams, in potatoes 6.4 milligrams, in wheat germ 9.4 milli- j grams, in beef 1& milligrams and in j milk. 18.6 milligrams. It is not surprising therefore that it was thought at first that rickets was due to a shortage of phosphorus in the diet and that attempts were made to overcome the deficiency by giving phosphorated cod liver oil.

THAT professor at M. I. T. gave the boys some singularly bad advice. I am referring to Robert E. Regers, who told the graduating class of Massachusetts Institute of Technology to be snobs if they would succeed in life. "It is just as easy," he said, “to marry the boss’ daughter as the stenographer.” Now this is a rather broad statement for a professor to make, particularly to a group of young scientists, unless he has seen the boss’ daughter and the stenographer. According to the revised statistics of 1928 the odds are ten and a fraction to one the stenographer will be better looking than the boss’ daughter. But possibly it is unfair to bring in esthetic considerations in the case of a gentleman who professedly made a hard-boiled, practical speech. Much as I abhor the sentiment of the address, I feel the worldly wisdom of Professor Rogers is even worse. Still, after all. one does not go to a professor to learn the secret of success in life. Somebody should set the young engineers straight before they make tragic mistakes. This is what Professor Rogers should have said. tt tt tt Advice to Graduates MEMBERS of the graduating class, when and if you find employment, you undoubtedly will discover around the place some young woman who runs the business.

Phosphorus Essential Part of Diet

Quotations of Notables

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

As the child reaches the period when it begins to walk, it no longer depends exclusively on mother’s milk as its diet and through the change in diet begins to get enough phosphorus to meet its need. Phosphorus also enters into the composition of nerve tissues and brain tissue. Hence for many years nerve tonics contained phosphates. Agassiz -thought that the human brain required phosphorus to build it up and because the meat of fishes contained phosphorus he suggested that fish was a brain food. While all relationships of phosphorus in the human body are not understood fully, enough is known to indicate that the human body must have its quota of this essential substance or disturbances follow.

food substances and the automatic regulators of the chemistry of the body make certain that the phosphorus will reach the places in which it is needed to take care of body functions. Among animal foods cheese, egg yolk, condensed milk and meat arc relatively rich in phosphorus. Os the fresh vegetables the greatest content is found in lima beans, peas, brussels sprouts, parsnips, spinach, cauliflower and potatoes. All nuts such as almonds, peanuts, walnuts, hazlenuts and pecans are relatively rich in phosphorus, having about half the efficiency of cheese in this regard. The dried fruits, and dried beans, lentils and peas are also rich in phosphorus. Anybody who eats sufficient qualities of a well-balanced diet will find that he is securing enough phosphorus to supply his needs.

TODAY is the birthday of Nathan Hale, the revolutionary hero who gained immortality at the age of 21 by going to his death with this statement on his lips: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” Hale was born June 6, 1175, and executed Sept. 22, 1776. When less than 16 he entered Yale college and was graduated with honors at the age of 18. For two years he taught school, but at the outbreak of the revolution joined the army at Boston and was made a captain. His capture and execution at the hands of the British followed an at- ’ tempt to *py on the English after the American army had been defeated in the battle of Long Island, when Washington was undecided whether his army was being surrounded or whether the British intended to follow up their victory with a direct attack. According to tradition, the young patriot was betrayed by his own cousin. If his identity had been kept secret another hour his plan would have sCkcceded.
