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

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

Using Arrow's line of reasoning,
we might say with equal assurance
that our traffic fatalities can be

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!
