Humphrey has sought to make the best of developments which he realized might be tetter for the party and for the Commonwealth. He loyally supported Mr. Fields and has done what he could to promote the success of his administration as Gov ernor. That Mr. Fields was not in-appreciative of the value of Judge Humphrey's support was attested by the fact that the Judge was one cf the two merubers of the Board of Charities and Correction whom the candidate for Governor promised to reappoint without an "investigation." of their work.

Judge Humphrey, in formal statement regarding the old and the new Boards of Charities and Correc-tion, is till solicitous to be generous to Governor Fields while being just to victims of the Governor's disfavor. one can deny, says the jUGge, "that the Governor has been most careful and fortunate in the selection of now members." The delicacy of thin tribute to the Governor cannot be properly appraised except in connection with the facts that some of these new members were selected to succeed old members who were moved to resign, for obvious reasons, which they did not care to disclose publicly, while on of these new members was selected to succeed the old member who was i chairman of the board and whom, on the expiration of his term, the Governor refused to reappoint, but condemned for alleged dereliction of duty. It is this member whom Judge Humphrey, while paying his tribute to the Governor, most warmiy praises. Governor Fields, in refusing to reappoint Mr. Tachau, had publicly announced: 1 feel that the chairman of the board should have familiarized himself with the more important details of management, and with that information, should have prevented certain extravagances that have been indulged in and certain abuses that have occurred In some of the institutions.

Because of his failure to do so i feel impelled to appoint a successor to Mr. Tachau. But Judge Humphrey, the Governor's defender, is even a more pronounced defender of Mr. Tachau against the Governor's charges. Says the Judge: The expenditures made by the board have had careful attention, not only of the chairman, but of every member of tho board, and the responsibility of each of us is exactly the same as his.

In regard to attention' given to the affairs of the board, I speak within bounds when I say that the chairman has not only been present at every meeting of the board and, as 1 now recollect, every parole riveting except one, but he has visited each of the institutions tinder charge of the board many times oftener than any one of us. He has thus kept in touch with the personnel of the management and the conditions and needs of the various institutions under our charge. 1 do not believe that there is a man In the State of Kentucky who has more capacity for work of this kind than our late chairman. His sympathy has gone out to every class of the unfortunate, it matters not what has been the source of that misfortune. Hence, his work on this board will be of lasting importance to our State and.

while not the beginning, will by no means be the end of a life of constant service. Judge Humphrey, while thus vindicating Mr. Tachau of the Governor's indictment, adds, unintentionally perhaps, another feature of awkwardness to the Governor's position. If Mr. Tachau has been derelict, he in effect declares, then the board has been derelict.

"The responsibility of each of us is exactly the same as his." And yet only last Tuesday the Governor issued a statement that it was his conviction "the Board of Charities and Correction has rendered splendid, unselfish, patriotic service to the State." Of the new board's first action, the appointment of a Commissioner cf Institutions to succeed Mr. Byers, Judge Humphrey says he has never heard anything in criticism of Mr. Coniey's integrity, intelligence or character "Of course." adds the Judge, "he is not an expert in the sense that our former commissioner was, but it would be. Indeed, difficult to find such a person." Nevertheless, he telieves that "things are going to turn cut well' ar.c appe" the teop.e the State to Join him in that be.ief. "If we believe that things are going tct turn out well," hs explains, "it is more than half the battle Let us have courage and not fear; let us have confidence and not distrust." Let us, at least, try to have hope.

To the Editor of The-Courier-Journal. Those who would defend filth in literature and in the theater contend that every art should be allowed to express the social customs of its age. The purveyors of filth contend that the public demands their unsavory products and that producers are forced to cater to the people. A great historian, writing of Rome under Nero, says: "The moral decay of Rome during this period was due to the cold-blooded selfishness, the hideous realism of what had been a refined, delicate, aesthetic age. To please these lisping hawthorn buds, these debauched and sanguinary dandies, Art forsooth must know notli.nq of morality; must accept and rejoice in a healthy animalism; must estimate life by the number of its few wildest pulsations; must reel-ton that life is worthless without the most thrilling experiences of horror or delight! Comedy must be actual shame and tragedy must bo soaked in blood." Is this a fair picture of social conditions in America today? Do we want this description in history moved forward 2,000 vears?

AFTER THE STORM. To the Editor of The Courier-Journal. Gentlemen: As an of the storm of the past week will natural ly come thoughts as to how to avoid some cf the perils that accompany such a catastrophe. Chief among these alleviating devices, I think, would be an ordinance requesting all public and pVivat gas and light com panics to shut off the light and gis supplies during a bad storm. This would prevent many deaths by fire and suffocation by gas fumes.

Will you give this publicity and do what you can to bring it about? There are numerous fatalities that happen in this way that w.i!d be avoided if this sucsrestion is followed. WALTER L. HENDRICK.

I a ilii-iii'Nwily The President And The Woodlock Appointment INDIANAPOLIS NEWS President Coohdge is not easily dissuaded, 'once he takes a stand. Whatever other sig nificance there may be to a White House announcement that Thomas F. I v.

oodlocK had received a recess appointment as a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, that fact is apparent. Woodlock's name was sent twice, but did not reach a final vote cn confirmation. There was widespread opposition, just as there was in the cse cf Warren, and rejection was feared. The long vacation Senators now are having, together with more extended consideration of ail the factors in volved, may serve to make confirmation little more than a matter of routine. On the other hand, the opposi tion may become more determined and precipitate a new struggle between the Senate and the White House.

NEW YORK COMMERCIAL The recess appointment of Thomas F. Woodlock ass Interstate Commerce. Commissioner demonstrates that President Coolidge is not in the least disturbed by Senatorial hostility to a man who is eminently fitted for the post. Southern Senators oppose Mr. Woodlock because they think that man "rent-eseritnTivp of the Smith" lshould be made Commissioner.

Tr, pick members of a commission which deals with what is a matter of national importance on the basis of ssctiona! favoritsm would be to ignore the inherent purposes for which the commission has been jated. NEW ORLEANS TIMES PICAYUNE The plea of exceptional fitness in Mr. Woodlock's behalf falls flat before the fact that men of requisite training, experience, mentil s-ature and all-around fitness for service on the Commerce Commission may bo found in every section. Railroad training and wisdom and judicial capacity are not monopolies of the East. Mr.

Coolidge his the wrong end of the argument in this' latest of his quarrels with the Senate. PHILADELPHIA PUBLIC LEDGER The recess appointment of Thomas F. Woodlock to the Interstate Commerce Commission is being criticised as "bad politics," since it may mean another White House battle with the Senate, which has twice rejected it Sen He Democrats will oppose confirmation on the ground that the nominee is a New Yorker and the South is "entitled to representation" b'v a Southern, not a. Northern, Democrat. He is being attacked also upon charges that he comes from Wail Street and is "friendly to the roads." The geographical argument is hardly sound.

Ability rather than geographical availability should be considered. It is understood that Mr. Woodlock has expert knowledge of rail-financing. The commission can use all that it can get. If no better ease than this can he made against him.

the Senate will have difficulty in justifying another rejection. NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN There is some Southern Democratic opposition to Mr. Woodlo'ck. It is argued that this section is increasing in value and' industry faster than any other section of the country; that the South with its numberless and peculiar traffic problems, is entitled to representation on this all-important Gov- rnment bureau. The strength of the argument must be generally conceded, but the way to get Southern represen-j tatioti on the I.

C. C. is not through opposition to Mr. Woodlock, but by maKing tne soutnern eas-e so strong that recognition dare not Be fonger denied. BROOKLYN EAGLE Republican Senators proclaim rather emphatically, perhaps too emphatically, that Mr.

Woodlock will be confirmed. That is on the knees of the gods. We imagine that if t'ne name is actually rejected the President will offer a substitution. There i no indication of obstinate disregard of the Senate's views in this recess appointment. NEW YORK HERALD-TRIBUNE The Senate's failure to confirm his (Woodlock's) nomination at the last regular session and again at the special session had nothing to cio with his real qualifications for the office.

Certain Southern Senators complained that their section had been for some time without a on the commission. They wanted a South ern Democrat appointed to succeed the outgoing Democratic member, and we're also disposed to question the orthodxy of Mr. Woodlock's Democracy. These are trivial minor objections which can be easily removed when the next vacancy occurs. More over, they only camouflaged the real factional motive behind the Senate's opposition.

INDIANAPOLIS STAR The real objection to Mr. Woodlock is believed to come froni those fthort-sighted statesmen who look with suspicion on an expert in any line. The same quality of statesmanship that would condemn Charles B. Warren as a can didate for the Attorney Generalship because ho had numbered large cor roratlons among his clients1 looks askance at Mr. Woodlock because even Wall Street recognizes lbs ability.

A nation interested in efficiency should make its voice heard in no uncertain fashion in support of the "resident's reappointment of Mr. Woodlock. COY BABIES AM) YOUNG MOTHERS (Literary Digest.) If the mother is young the chances are greater that the baby will be a boy. When the mother Is 40 or beyond the probability is stronger that it will be a girl. This is the conclusion of Dr.

A. S. Pnrkes. based on the re cord of over eight thousand births at a hospital In Manchester, England, we read in Science Service's Daily Science News To quote furth er: Mothers averaging around 15 years cf age bore children in the ratio of 1 3 males to every 100 females Mothers a host 20 years of age had 120 males to every 100 female children. Mothers who were about 30 years old bore 112 boys to every 100 girls.

Those, about 40 years of age had 01 male children to 100 female, and the ratio decreased still more for still older women. Dr. Parkes is care ful to point out that his facts do not necessarily conflict with recent scien tific ideas of sex-determination. Thes' modern ideas teach that among the higher animals, including man, the female exercises no influnce on tlu-sex of the offspring since egg-cells are all alike. The male parent, however, forms germ-cells of two kinds in oquai Lumbers and maleness or femalenes-or progeny depends upon which of tnese two kinds of ceils happens to fertilize any egg.

The decision as to sex is irrevocably made at fcrtilisa tion and Dr. Parkes' statistics are for a subsequent event, i. birth. Be tweerr these two events a dying-off of the unborn has been noted which for some unexplained renn affects males more than females. This early dying off increases with the age cf the "So sc.er.ee would naturally expect sons to -be less frequent, on the average, in older households." a i.s of of a eases, and has neither added greatiy to the happiness of the world nor greatly modified the position of the 3versge man as regards disease and desth." Modern medicine i in its infancy.

It may be said to have begun with the discoveries of Pasteur and Koch, and that it keprt in the somewhat restricted field of bacteriology and what has been learned from it. But other fields have been entered. Mental diseases and nervous diseases have teen studied. Cancer and diabetes hivo lJ'J oojects or a'rnost cndlo study, and. though th former has baffled th scientists, tho lattf-r perhaps been brought under subjection, one of -the few diseases that affect persons of middle age and beyond to have been rendered less destructive.

That the mir.d of man, together with his health and happiness, should puzzle the scientist Is nothing surprising. Will the millennial day ever dawn when these will not be mysterious? The sociologist, the criminologist, as well as the psychiatrist and neurologist, hope som day to learn something 'of this, the greatest mystery of life. Dr. Carrel, after all, has not. belittled the achievements of modern science.

He has merely pointed out the unlimited possibilities for possible achievement. EXPEDIENCY The Clayhole murder cases have been dismissed on a motion, supported by petitions of the survivors of the election day battle in Clayhole pre- 'o-i, Dieauiitt County, and widows of the slain. the The motives of the survivors are not far to seek. Democrats slew Re publicans and Republicans slew Demo crats, and surviving participants on both sides faced the prospects of the electric or long prison terms. They had a mutuality of interest in the outcome of the trials quite as ob vious as the antagonism of their interest in the outcome of the election.

It is altogether natural that men. who have no better conception of the responsibilities cf sovereign citizen ship than to murder in an attempt to frustrate its highest exercise in the election of a State Senator and a Circuit Judge, should regard, it as a strictly private transaction 'if they agree to let bygones be bygones, and ignore the right of society to the vindication of its laws. The Circuit Judge, however, did evidently consider the social aspect in his decision to dismiss the indictments, grounding his action Upon a theory of public policy which comprehended the Clayhole tragedy as a civil war rather than a sordid, drunken manifestation of political corruption in its most brutal and terrifying form. "The restoration of peace in a long suffering community, the aversion of what promises to result in a feud if these matters are logger allowed to remain in their present state," he concluded "impel me to take the view and the position announced." Here is a breadth of view peculiarly American. One could not imagine an English jurist unbinding the eyes of justice to project its prophetic vision upon all the speculative possibilities that might follow in an evil train the strict execution of a legislative mandate.

"Thus saith the law." the code-shackled English bench would quote. "Murder has been committed; the guilty must be punished. Let the legislative and executive branches of Government lock to the consequences-" Law enforcement in the two countries has been the subject of much discussion; but may not this incident argue that the difference is not germinal in the machinery of the courts but in their fundamental conceptions of the province cf jurisprudence? The English are notably sticklers for tradition, while the unclrcumscribed scope of statesmanship is drawn upon for the Idea of throwing the ultimate welfare of society into the balance in weighing the expediency of enforcing the law. It required a court of chancery to liberalize the harsh code of the English common law to effect the ends of justice in clvli matters. It would be too much to expect an English jurist gratuitously to liberalize the criminal code by making Justice subservient to the ends of expediency.

With true British contumacy he might even retort that convictions would be a wholesome object lesson for the Clayhole neighborhood, whereas, having got away with murder once, the triumphant defendants and their associates would not be depend able instruments to co-operate for the "restoration of peace in a long suffering community," for whose suffering their presence alone was responsible. The English have adopted divorce, the cccktail. jazz, and a lot of other American innovations; but they cling tenaciously to an absurdly old-fashioned notion about crime. The Comptroller General has ruled that any Congressman can return to the Government his salary increase voted at the last session. It is rot stipulated that this should be done early to avoid the rush.

1925 THE GERMAN ELECTION In fhw Cermnn Presidential cam-aiKti, jut tlod. two important jiliysic-il forces have heen at work that may have a nmrkfd bearing on the result. Thfse have' been a weak c-ning centripetal movement and a Mrengthening centrifugal trend. In other words the progressive elements have separated into their constituent prts whll; the reactionary crowd has remained a unit. There aro no coall-tiuns.

It is everybody for Isimsflf In free-for-all contest. It is anybody's race, but lack of cohesion rather gives tlto inside track to the Oerman Junkers. It will be recalled that the Marx Government, the most progressive that Germany has had. was a coalition vt the Centrist the Teople's ixtrty and the Democrats, with a strong desire on tho part of the Chan-eellor to admit the Socialists Into the otnbine. Now the Centrists have a In Marx; the Democrats have a candidate In Hellpach, I'remier of liaden; tlie I'eople'a party has a landidate in Jarres, former Vice Chancellor under Marx, and the Socialists have a candidate Ihaun.

the piedocessor of Marx, as Premier of l'russia. Of these, and in fact of all the parlies In Germany, tho Socialists are th Wrongest. But their standard-bearer cannot hold his followers in the ranks. There are Klglft and Left Socialists, just as there are Right and Left partisans in the People's narty. As the one extreme in the one case turns to the Communists, the other extreme in the other sides with the Nationalists.

Thus Braun's chances are weakened by possible defection and Janes is strengthened by the wholehearted support of the Nationalists and whatever following he may have in has own party. Nowhere, however, will party lines hold rtgldly. Marx is not necessarily poor contender in the race because is (ho leader of a third or; fourth rate party. He will probably get votes from all ranks as an Indorsement of his public record. Likewise with r.rr.un.

Hellpach has largely a local following, with a reputation chiefly confined to Baden. Jarres Is a national figure. Among these four candidates will the battle rage at the polls today. That any one of them, however, will get a majority of the votes cast seems hlshlv improbable. The Na tionalists have jrnnouneed they will Jsert their greatest strength r.ot at this election, which, it is believed, will be inconclusive, but at the supplemental election next month when only the two leading candidates wilt contend fct the majority.

"We ara building a great language for the future years," remarks Dr, Frank II. Vizetelly, managing editor of, the Standard Dictionary. He be lieves that "English Is undoubtedly! tho greatest language of all ages for ease of expression and shades of meaning," and thinks that "the Eng lish-speaking races of today number; nearly 00,000,000 people." This i-i about 12 per cent of the population of the earth, but Vizetelly expect, the percentage to double In seventy five years. Languages can be measured in in- portance by their usefulness as rneaiisj of communication and by their con-, tributions to world culture. English has quite evidently become the most important of all languages from the purely practical standpoint.

No other tongue is used so extensively in trado or even in governmental and social relationships. It is estimated that 120 000,000 people speak German, 000 Russian. 60.000,000 French and 55,000,000 Spanish. Despite the great populations of China and lndi neither of these countries has a slrr gle language -spoken by as many people as speak English. India has 147 languages; Chinese dialects are innumerable.

Altogether only 220, Indians speak languages of thJ Indo-Aryan branch, and there aro three of these. Mandarin represent a means of communication almost everywhere in China, but it probably has not jthe actual currency that En lWh has. The tongue that only 20.. 000,000 people spoke in 1S00 is undoubtedly dominant among languages today so far as extent of use and variety of 'usefulness are concerned. English has also steadily shaped It clf into an effective medium for accuracy and beauty of expression.

It has been Jeered at as a heterogeneous language and it has been criticized fotv the "weakness" of turning to Latin and Greek for new terms. Lovers of the Romance languages find it lacking in elegance. Its grammatical ir" regularity has been noted. Sifll Eng llsh has produced poetry, drama and fistion that are now world inheritances.

No one in Seville seems to go to bed before 2 or 3 o'clock in the morn ing, uy id ciock Picturesque only the working Streets In Seville, people are about, and from 1 to 3 all the shops are closed while every one takes a siesta. In an open carriage we drive to the market, passing sometimes through streets so narrow that you can touch the walls of the houses with your hands outstretched.

Donkeys, donkeys, everywhere picturesque, wide-hatted Spaniards riding donkeys with huge panniers on either side, milkmen delivering milk from panniers, donkey carts, drawm by one, two. three, four donkeys in single file, always with the smallest donkey in front. At every street, on every corner, something interesting to see, women bringing their olive oil bottles to be windows gay with shawls, shops selling the famous artificial flowers of Seville, street cobblers at work, a majolica ware factory where you can buy wonderful trinkets, and everywhere the great brown-eyed children begging for pennies.

He exhibits the chapel where the bull-fighters pray before each fight.

With exclamations, gestures, and excited Spanish, his eyes aflame, he tells me a story I almost understand, tf the fight in which he was hurt. Everywhere in Spain the people are polite.
