Over in Russian about a hun
dred persons were executed re
cently, it is said, for causing train
wrecks. The Russian fliers who
made it over the pole to the Pac
ific Coast were kissed by Mr. Stal
in when they got back to the Sov
iet domains. Taking it all in all,
those concerned with transporta
tion in Russia seem to be destin
ed to have to put up with a good !
deal. What a scoop a reporter
would make if he could catch a
president of the United States giv
ing a floor leader of the House
a hearty sn ack! Everything how,
ever. depend> n where a person
happens tt be. and St. Augustine
cr someone w-ho flourished about
the time that he lived hit the
n-ail on the head when he said
that when in Rome it was well
to do as the Re mans do and let
it go at that.
A criminal convicted of twen
ty-seven robberies receives a sen
tence of 135 years, which of cour
se. at first thought, is likely to
raise a laugh, since there is no
chance that he will live to serve
out his sentence. From another
standpoint, a sentence of more
than a century and a quarter is
not out of order or funny. When
a man commits twenty-seven bad,
crimes, his place is out of society j
for the rest of his natural life. In
a criminal record, a time arrives)
when the welfare of the crimin-j
al no longer need be considered.;
The important point is that he be
shelved where he can do no more
harm. If that can be brought
about be putting him away for a
lifetime and then some, a good
end has been accomplished.
Dropping for the hour its con
sideration of appropriations, lab
or troubles and what to do with
the Supreme Court, the Senate
has turned its eye for a moment
on a class generally considered
to be beyond the pale of the law,
namely the old men. It has pass
ed a measure whereby no one
otherwise qualified shall be barr
ed from holding a government
position on account of age. Some
of the Senators themselves, by
the way, are no spring chickens.
If a man of 65 or 70 still knows
I enough to be a senator, it is log
ical to assume that another man
of the same age might yet be of
use to the government and prob
ably to some other employer. The
youth movement is in full swing.
