There are judges "who turn judgment to wormdod;" to which scriptural quotation Lord Bacon adds: "And surely there be also that turn it into vinegar; for injustice maketh it bitter, and delays make it sour. We hear much of "the law' Gelays," which in many instance are the delays of judges who ahould expedite and not retard justice. Those who "wait with anxious fear" tha drriainn f ,.uviBi. vi.i win i" criminal cases in which their property or their liberty is involved, suffer grievously from postponements and con tinuances and the technicalities which make the path of justice crooked and thorny. . Courts which tolerate avoidable delays, which yield to the convenience of attorneys first on one side and then on another having always precedents and rulings in view rather than the interests of the litigants or of the accused, and who look with patience on the unnecessary costs added to suits brought before them, "maka judgment sour" when it should be sweet and wholesome. To what extent courts are i responsible for delays in judgments it would, perhaps, be pre sumptuous for a layman to say, but there cannot be a doubt that every court has the power to put an immediate end to many vexatious and costly delays in trials and decision. In a num ber ef states criticism has been outspoken and Utter, and in one, at least, there has been a cleaning up of neglected dockets in the lower and intermediate courts ai well as in the su preme court, to the relief of the entire state body politic. It is a homely and somewhat inelegant comparison to make, but the prompt adminis tration of justice is to a state what normal and healthful bowel action Is to an individual. People go to the courts to escape wrong and injustice, which are poisonoun to good govern ment, just as lack of proper peristaltic action in tha bowels results In the accumulation of de cayed matter in the intestines that poisons and Ickens the individual. When the poison of wrong and injustice is permitted, by delays and continuances in the courts, to exist for months nd years because of the neglect of lawyers and judges, certain sickness, friends through the state, and the people lose faith in their laws and courts, and slum thorn. AH over the country a laxness in court ad ministration has been observed and tolerated by the people largely because of their reverence for judicial authority and procedure. With dockets erowdeJ by untried cases the vacations of su preme, intermediate and lower courts have be come longer and longer, with "truth forever on the scaC'old. rong forever' on (he. throne," during their play times. Fifty year's ago com mon--pleas courts held sessions in midsummer when there was business to be done. Now in most states all court calendars are arranged for summer vacations some of them extending from May to October, with another in midwin ter regardless pf the expense to litigants or outrage to justice which may be caused by the 'delay. In one state th rule wat that the higher the salaries of the judges, the longer the periods In which they deserted their duties. Unquestionably the judicial reform now most needed the country over, is the elimination of delays, the . cessation of "wormwood judg ments." If long vacations are responsible, shorten them. Business principles of industry may well be applied to professional duties in the courts. Lawyers, as well as judges, are sworn to promote justice, which is retarded by delays. Business men, facing extra tasks, work over time. Why not judges and lawyers? Can a Ve!l organized business be imagined planning a three or four months' shat-down with im , portant and pressing work "to be done? - These remarks apply,, of course, only to courts which "carry over" cases from term to term on flimsy pretexts, or for the personal -convenience of lawyers and judges, while the parties most concerned continue in "anxious lear for their rights or property. Judges who - do these things are not sacrosanct. Th,ere is a lure cure for their abuse of official privilege and f- vwtiiviiij' v mini iiuiii me ucnen h) make room for judges who will continue court terms until their dockets are clean. New York Buys Radium. ' The state of New York has recently pur chased less than one ounce of radium for which it paid $225,000, This easily puts radium over he top as the costliest of the world's material products. It its powers were not so enormous, did so terribly dangerous whan not screened, we might reasonably expect to see particles of it. in the jewelry of the period. ,v Radium was discovered in 1902 by French scientists and hter several of its extraordinary qualities have been revealed by study and 'ex periment It is found in pitchblende, carnotite and other uranium metals, and in spite of its marvelous energy and activity seems practically everlasting. A any rate hospitals buying sup plies of it never expect to have to' replenish them, '' . .. " i : The surpassing value of radium is the com bined result of its usefulness, durability and scarcity. We have heard it laid that perhaps there is not half a pound of it in the whole earth. But it has been found to be remarkably curative whet) applied to cancerous growths, and " anything' that will check that scourge of hu tyyUty Is heytd any mere money value. It constantly throws off both benign and destruc tive rays, and the medical men have now Jearned so to screen it as to control and direct these rays in the treatment of disease. New York's supply is for the free use of her people. ' Red Menace Becomes Real. Progress of 'the bolshevik army through Poland is now a procession, before which arises a threat of renewed general war. Attempts by the British and French governments to bring the Lenine regime to a parley have so far proved futile. No answer comes from Moscpw, but the red army moves steadily on to engulf Warsaw. Just what precipitated the conflict does not so much matter at the .present as to what is to be done to stay the flow of the Russian wave over Poland, One report has it that two divisions of the British army have been mobilized for im mediate action, and that these with certain units from France will be interposed to check the bol shevik! and to establish something like order. While the United States is fortunately re lieved from active participation in the affair, it has more than a collateral interest. Lloyd George and Millerand demanded that the bol shevik! halt at the boundary set up for Poland by the conference at Paris, in which our presi dent took part. This demand has been ignored, and the reports that the invaders are organizing the regions they have occupied by setting up Soviets to handle the government indicates the intention of the reds to redeem a portion at least of Lenine's promise that he would in time extend his government oyer the world. "This is, speculative, however, and may not be borne out by future developments. " In the meantime, the soviet minister 6ftrade and commerce and the president of the Moscow soviet are at London, on a mission to England with regard to trade. They have wired to Mos cow, asking for an immediate expression of in tention, in response to a simitar query from Lloyd George, from the Lenine government as to its presence in Poland. On the reply to this question will depend if the general war is to be renewed. Whatever the outcome, the recognition of Lenine as a political factor in the affairs of the world is being forced by the issue of events. The recently given permission to trade .with Russia, the shipper taking all risks, did not in volve anything of politics. Making peace or war does. A yeaff ago General Smuts warned the British, and the world, that whatever form of government the Russians set up would have to be recognized. The time seems to be near at hand when this will come to pass. If the people over there are content with Lenine, out siders have the choice of accepting him or hold ing aloof. The alternative is armed intervention. Foland Is threatened with extinction once moac, to, become a soviet attached to the Rus- sian central group. Moral support is tendered her, but it is of no avail as against the motley red army that is relentlessly advancing on the capital. Unless the bolsheviki is forced to retire the subjugation of Poland may be looked upon as a curtain-raiser for the conquest by the reds of the remainder of central Europe. European observers do not overstate the fact when they say the outlook ia A grave as that of August, 1914. Civilization may survive bol shevism, which in time will cure itself, but pos sibility of the renewal of the terrible process of war is something that must make every thinking person shudder. Intrastate Railroad Rates. Omaha railroad authorities insist that the order of the Interstate Commerce commission granting a raise in rates was issued on the as sumption that it would be concurred in by the various state commissions, and thus, through the action of all, the increase in rtVenue will be made a fact. George W. Tloldrege of the Burlington says that is plainly his understanding of the order, and that if the intrastate rates are not set higher as proposed by the general order, the roads will not get the Increase in revenue sought. This does not detract" from the state ment that the rate-making power should be vested exclusively in a federal body, that all in equalities may be speedily and uniformly ad justed, and the bewildering and complex pro cedure necessitated by the existing system of state control be done away with. The Souls of Dogs. Bishop BuUer of the Church of England, and Theodore Parker, a famous Unitarian, cler gyman, are quoted by the Chicago Journal as believing animals have souls. i Usually that belief is born of love for a lost 1 dog, the one animal whose, devotion to his master is not equalled by any creature on earth. The dog loves there can be no doubt about that and as love is the sheet anchor of the soul, it is easy for a dog-lover to see a soul shining out of the tender eyes of a favorite canine friend and companion. So far as mere human observation goes there can be no question that dogs, take 'em as they come, sre more deserving of souls, and immortal ones at that, than a large portion of the over estimated and intensety egotistic human race. A Drink's the Thing. Pleasing beverages are profitable, even those of a docile character. Nobody knows how many millions are expended annually for soda water, but some of the soft drinks are now in corporated and issue quarterly reports of their earnings for the information of investors who do business through stock exchanges.,- One of them, not extracted from cocoanuts, as its name might suggest, shows net profits of over $3,000,000 during the past six months. The American throat likes to be tickled, and is will ing to pay for it through the stomach and through the pocketbook. If the Russians had showed some of this pertinacity in 1915, the war might nave ended sooner. But Poland is not Prussia. Charley Chaplin's wife says he is stingy. Maybe he just recalls the days when he didn't have a cent. For a man who did not believe in war, Lenine is showing considerable symptoms of being a conqueror. v .

DESPITE the shortage of print paper, the Mew Republic prints a supplement, compiled by Walter Lippmann & Co., to show that the news dispatches from Russia, from 1917 to 1920. did not correspond with the facts. We assumed as much long before 1917, and discontinued reading dispatches from Russia. Mr. Lippmann, young and inexperienced he was 26 at last account has wasted a deal of perhaps invaluable time.

You don't think. Now, can a flower be happy?" "No, air." replied Briggs, taking his cue aright. "Well, why did you say they could?" "'Cos I didn't flnk, sir." "Well, then, what was It that fceally made the daffodils flutter?" "The breese. sir. . . . The daffodils fluttered abart 'cos of the breeze what was a'blowlng 'em." "That's the kind of answer I Ilka," said the headmaster approvingly. "Now you're talking common sense. But I'd have given a still higher mark If you had changed the word "breese" for a different word." .. "I could 'ave said 'wihd,' sir." "Of course. Always, try and use a different word from tha poet's. The Inspectors like us to encourage originality In the children." DURING a' golt match at Greenwich this week an approach by Vardon was so strong that the ball passed the green and hit a lady on the bounce, recoiling to the flag.

The ordinary chronic Bright'a disease without dropsy, with only a mcderate amount of albumin and casts, with no great Increases in blood pressure and no tendency to affect the sight, is a very nvild dis ease with only a slight tendency to destroy life. A careful person can live with the disease for many years. Osier once wrote an essay on the advantage -of having a moderate amount of Brlght's disease and in this essay he told of several men who have lived out their natural ex pectancy in' spite of Brlght's. His argument was that If a moderate de cree of Brlght's disease would make a man who had been driving him self too hard slow down and get within his speed it would prolong his life. An able Frenchman says that in dieting people with this form of Pright's disease, milk is of no use. Ho gives little or none. He allows them to eat a moderate allowance of fish, white and red meat, and epgs, but he insists that all meat should be freshly killed and well cooked. When meat Is allowed to aye it develops poisons which are hard on the kidneys. He permits the use of all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, ex cept the our kinds. He tries es pecially avoid the vegetables rich lit oxolates. The worst of these are pieplant and cranberries. The main requisites are to eat In fireat moderation, to eat sparingly of meat and meat products, to main tain proper bowel habits, to avoid exposure to cold and damp, and never to overwork. There Is a form of Bright's dls- ease tn which a tendency toward un conscious spells, coma and even con vulsions and seeming paralysis Is present. The dieting of these cases is difficult. They cannot eat any must, potted meats or other meat products, egga of any kind or dried vegetables! The allowance of milk should be limited to the amount required for cooking. They should live on rice, potatoes, tapioca, sago, arrowroot, fats, plenty of sugar, all kinds of green vegetables, carrots, parsnips, and all kinds of fruits. Seven ounces of bread a day is allowed. If the person Is in very bad shape h should limit himself to six or eifcht pounds of grapes a day and eat no other food. In most cases it Is proper to give plnnty. of drinking water. If, how ever, there Is dropsy, the day's al lowance of water should be reduced to one quart and the diet should be . Typewriters Can Makt Immtdlatt Oalivary en Underwoods, Remingtons, Royals, L. C.

' Small, cheesy, foul smelling masses are not Infrequently found In the crypts of the tonslli They are composed of bacteria, food debris, epithelial cells and pus cells, and are molded to form by the crypts of the tonsils Just as black heads are composed of dried grease molded by t,he grease glands of the skin.

To the Editor of The Bee: The article in today's iosue citing Congressman William H. Mason of Illinois saying that the 'Irlfch will vote for Harding" is worthy of consideration because there is not a man in America who knows any more about the senti ments and aspirations of the Irish than Congressman Mason, notwith standing that there is not a drop of Irish blood in his veins. I have an idea that when the. Irish men and women go to the polls they will vote as Americans. However, I am frank to admit, in my humble opinion, that the intelligent und patriotic element or the Irish nice are op posed to the league of nations simi lar to other citizens. The Irish have done much on the battlefield and elsewhere from the period of the Printers Are Artists YOUR printer is an artist. An artistic letter head may be his subject.
