Quiet High Speeds Owners tell us they use fourth in the Graham Paige four-speed transmission most of the time, enjoying its new smoothness and swift ness.

He is an able man and no doubt will prove faithful to the trust reposed in him. :o: FOOTBALL CASUALTTY LIST The 15 deaths due to injuries in football games to date will, as usual, prompt many to demand that this "frightful cannage" cease while Just as many others will cite the figures to show that the dangers of football have been practically eliminated. Neither side will convince the other, and it is our guess that the game will go on unabated. It is interesting to note, however, that only three of this year's fatal ities were due to injuries received on college gridirons. The remainder were among high school and sand lot players, which tends to confirm an already well-established belief that the most dangerous age in foot ball is the pre-college period. This is due, primarily, we think, to the fact that the player is better ac quainted with the game and its dan gers when he reaches college thas before he leaves high school ; sec ondarily, to the fact that college football team is more competently coached and the injuries of the ath letes more closely looked after. And in support of the former reason we submit the fact that among pro fessionals fatal injuries are unheard of. - - - THE STEWART ACQUITTAL Aftsr Justice Bailey had ruled that the Senate custom of availabil ity rather than actual presence can not constitute a legal quorum, there was nothing lor the jury In the ease! of Col. Robert W. Stewart to do hut acquit him on the charge of per-1 verb in a long, long time. Further Jury made against him by the com more, even hearing it now there mittee inquiring into what became of the Continental bonds. The ruling will probably surprise eome of the very gooa lawyers in the Senate, but it will nevertheless serve to check that body up in iti custom of spreading a committee member over too much ground. When j Col. Stewart was asked if he knew anything about what became of the Continental bonds and he answered he did not, though he subsequently admitted he did, there were not more than Cv members of the committee present. Three others that would have made an undoubted quorum of eight were only available if wanted. As to Col. Stewart, lie has in the opinion of the Poet-Dispatch suffer ed the severe penalty of public con demnation deppite his acquittal up on a technicality. The Continental deal was as dubious a manipulation as any in which reputable business men ever engaged. It made exiles of niackmer and O'Neill, both high In the oil world, and it disgraced every man it touched. The cock and bull story which Col. Stewart told on the witness stand about taking a one-fourth snare or me Doncls as a trustee was worthy of Baron Mun chausen. Justice Bailey may be perfectly right In his ruling aB to what con- stitutes a quorum of such a commit- tee. Nevertheless, in asking at one point in the trial what harm the perjury did if it was committed, he only added to the widespread con viction that justice for rich men in i the "Washington courts is something else than for the poor and the friend less. The harm done by the whole oil scandal is incalculable. The ease with which Pall, Doheny, Sinclair, and now Stewart, were all extricated from what looked like a bad mess has weakened the country's faith in the inexorableness of justice. The feeling that very rich men enjoy im munity from the criminal law, and that not even the juries are willing to convict them, has prejudiced the dignity of the law in the eyes of a people who have watched the spec tacle with metal reservations that not all the technicalities and legal sophistries on earth can dispel. We can all be glad when the last man in this demoralizing business has been dealt with, though not one ever goes to prison or suffered for be traying his country any worse oblo quy than the contempt of hi3 coun trymen. What they did was treason. It has not been made anything less by the failures of justice or the disposition of the Republican party to condone their crimes. Whether the people would or would not consent operated, or whether their guilt was personal or not, it still is true that at the bar of public opinion, despite their money, and all their political , . , . , xxii influence, they stand constructively damned. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: THE "SIMPLE" SOLUTION The year's prize for the simplest and most effective way of eliminating crime and cleaning up the big cities should go to former Chief Detective Inspector Arrow, of Scotland Yard, who reveals his ingenious plan in the columns of the London Daily Ex press. His punacea follows: "Begin at the top; divorce politics from po lice work; overhaul the machinery of justice; speed up trials and make the punishment of criminals as in- evitable as it Is in England." If the former inspector thinks he Is telling Americans something they do not know, he is entitled to an- other guess. He has succeeded not. in giving us a remedy,-but merely In diagnosing the ailment. In analyz ing his statements we find that he might easily have mentioned only the divorcement of police depart mnta frnm nlltiPR anrl lt it e-n at , .... . 1- . ,i - . . 1 I iui, lor iureiu iif mc uui ui me present deplorable situation. This done, the rest of the ills could easily be healed, for- the root of the can- cer would be out. But neither Arrow nor anyone else has come forward wifh nlaunlhlo miPE-PStinna fnr fhfa I Dlt or Surgery. Using Arrow's line of reasoning, we might say with equal assurance that our traffic fatalities can be . . , . . . . , . ellminated by the simple expedient or making all motorists, use care in driving. -:o: On Oct. 31, according to the Treasury, the per capita possession of money In the United States came to S40.46, which goes to prove the I general unreliability of statistics. NEW SAWS FOR OLD "Y;h," we heard a gentleman say on the street the other day, "if you want something done right, you got to do it yourself?" And it occurred to us at once that we had not heard this ancient pro- seemed to be something strange about it: it aroused in us a feeling of skepticism and gave us an impulse to challenge It. to demand that it prove its soundness. Pondering at length, we finally hit on what seem ed to be an explanation. The mod ern world has actually rejected this proverb. It no longer believes that if you want a thing done, you find the person qualified to do it for you. Thus most things have come to be done by specialists: specialists in the rearing of children, in the de coration of homes, in cost account in, in salesmanship, in diet, in character, in most of the thing9 that people once looked after themselves. Moreover, this division of duty is not a thing that the modern world deplores, but rather a thing that it takes pride in. Its ideal of a man is no longer one who leads the world to his door by making a good mouse trap, but one who can spot a good mouse trap, at a glance, buy the pat- ents for a song, and then hire the proper go-getters to put mouse traps over in a big way. In other words. its ideal is a good executive, a man who can sit behind a big desk en flated by telephones and pass on the results of innumerable conferences; who never knows anything at first hand, but learns through charts, tables and reports prepared for him by experts on the subject; who can do nothing himself, but gives orders to those who can. He is the medulla oblongata of industry; the center through which Incoming stimuli I from nerves are received, sorted and translated into outgoing impulses to muscles; the great central switch board which keeps the machine go ing. As to whether this is progress or decadence we do not attempt to say. But as to how things have changed we got an idea when we saw not long ago a collection of let ters written by the late John Tyler, President of the United States. They were on the most trivial subjects: Post masterships, suggestions for a speech on the Fourth of July, re quests for more information and some routine matter. ' Yet they were all written out in longhand by His Ex cellency, John Tyler himself. Pic ture a modern president doing that! :o: This should be the pleasantest sea son ot the year, so near Christmas and Thanksgiving next Thursday.
