Meininger from the penitentiary Thursday, one of the, rottenest "episodes in Missouri state banking and in Missouri criminal law administration comes to its sorry end. Meininger, cashier, was sentenced to five and three years of concurrent imprisonment for his share in the looting. It required four trials to accumulate that penalty after a failure which cost depositors and stockholders a million dollars, wrecked lives and wiped out the life savings of The supreme court added its contribution to the fiasco, in a hair-splitting decision which nullified one verdict. After four years Meininger is free on good behavior. Nobody else was punished for responsibility with him.

Other officers and directors, some of them prominent citizens, who neglected every semblance of their official duty, went free. It was generally understood the cashier was ft be the "goat." Everything connected with this episode was a farce, if state bank supervision and criminal law have any meaning. The state banking department knew the bank was insolvent long before it collapsed. Its higher officers and directors failed to exercise the most ordinary supervision over the bank's affairs. The prosecution was a gesture and that was all.

Even the state's liquidating officer stole from the meagre assets.

The laws of chance were inexorably set against him. No man can strive for speed, recognizing no limit but mechanical endurance, without sooner or later paying for his rashness with his life. A boat traveling 100 miles an hour does not move through the water, but on top of it. If at that speed it could be forced suddenly below, the surface, the effect would be the same as if the boat and its occupants were lifted to a height of 338 feet and dropped. The accident which 'killed the English speed king was not a spill; it was a collision with the water, and scarcely less of a collision than if he had run into a bulkhead.

Experiments such as Major Seagrave has conducted, either on the water or at Daytona, contribute little to human progress. Chiefly, they are a warning to other people to show better judgment. four hour shifts could have done. In a year.1 mental causes, just tap your abdomen and se if It is not ballooned out with gas.

Once the intestinal tract has been cleared out, and much of the gas es. pelled, a person will be very apt to fall Into a refreshing sleep. The finest prescription for sleeplessness tha a doctor can give is to recommend eating correct combinations of food, and the use of hani physical exercise. One who is tired from mus.

cular labor has no problem of wakefulness. Sleep is absolutely essential to preserve our vitality. It gives strength to the kidneys and other organs; it keeps the blood pure and the brain clear. A person who does not haw enough sleep is liable to retain the systemio poisons in his body, and almost invariably i will find such a person is constipated or suffert from colds, catarrh or nervousness. Eight hours of sleep seem to be required by the average adult.

Children require more sleep than this. It is Important that children form the habit of retiring early.

Rumania gets the prize for having the biggest court of domestic relations on record. The entire population is trying to settle the row between Carol and Helen. yhe Voice BY GLENN FRANK bill, victorious by two votes in tne senate, goes through the house by a larger majority and marches to the White House for President Hoover's signature.

This measure is called a bill to raise revenue. It should be known as: A bill to ruin the automobile export trade; A bill to prevent the exportation of Missouri eggs to Canada; A bill to prevent England, France, Italy and Germany from paying their debts to the United States; A bill to impoverish Swiss watch makers; A bill to destroy Cuban prosperity; A bill to create enemies for the Ignited States; A bill to drive South America into the arms of Europe; A bill to raise the price of shoes, clothing, sugar, meat, vegetables and fruit. A bill to increase the cost of building materials. President Hoover knows that the bill deserves these sub-titles, yet he is expected to sign it with the promise that he will remedy its defects. It is a vain hope, based on self-deception.

The pressure for lower rates will be diffuse and inarticulate. Resistance will be concrete and concentrated. There will be more direct and powerful pressure for a presidential increase on aluminum and plate glass than for a reduction on shoes and sugar. "Sign it, Mr. President say the apologists, "or there will be a new demand for revision." And what will there be if it is signed? The defects of the Smoot-Hawley tariff are too numerous to be dealt with under any power the President dares to use, and too fundamental to be ignored by future congresses.

It is a bill which blindly disregards the condition of the world and the position of the United States in world affairs. The United States has unemployment and a declining export trade. England has unemployment and a declining export trade. So has Germany. So has Italy.

So has Japan. All over the world the volume of available labor is increasing, the capacity for production Is increasing, the field for consumption is increasing yet trade is falling off. The answer? Barriers. Barriers of law and barriers of debt. Every nation is anxious to sell yet unwilling or unable to buy.

Inability of one country to buy reduces the ability of another to sell. The circle of trade is broken. Stagnation follows. Every man out of work is supported by his fellows, whether they know it or not. But every man out of work is supported at the minimum level of existence, and thereby reduces the demand for products made by his fellows.

The great problem of the present day is to utilize the world's labor supply, and distribute the products of its work. It is a world-wide problem, in whose settlement our own nation is bound by unbreakable, filaments filaments of steel, of cotton, of leather, of rubber, of wool, of wood, of gold. The world's misery is our misery; our misery' is the world's misery. This does not mean that the United States should plunge headlong into free trade. It does mean diminishing barriers and a leveling up of trade and standards of life.

A protection-mad Congress, protection-mad industry and a President who knows but will not act on his knowledge, afford little hope that the United States will learn except through bitter experience. The automobile industry, the key to prosperity under our system of uncontrolled flood and ebb, will pay the first price of governmental folly. The nation as a whole will pay the second and heavier price. No "presidential revision" can remove the mass hostility of the world directed against our economic machine by this Act of Congress. A veto can remove it, and should.

The- Bell Syndicata, lnc DISTINGUISHED Americans and distinguished Britons were at dinner under the auspices of the English-speaking Union in London. An oratorical American was concluding his address. "We are one people," he "We are of the same blood. We drink at the springs of the same literature. We speak the same language." "Yes," said Bernard Shaw, "we speak the same language, but through a different organ." The American voice is notoriously nasal, flat, tense, high-pitched.

Helen Hathaway, in a recent issue of Good Housekeeping, peeks to find the causes for these unlovely qualities of American speech. She finds some of the causes in the nervous tension caused by American haste and hurry and in the climate of the northern states. If we live hurried lives and harvest a nervous-tension our throats tighten. A tight throat means a tense and high-pitched voice. The sudden changes and extremes of our climate contract the throat muscles and rob our voices of mellowness and loveliness.

The negro voice of the south is notoriously mellow, the loveliest voice in America. Why? First, as the negro is born In the south, his throat is not assaulted by the sudden extremes of cold he would know in the north. His throat is open under southern warmth. Second, his placid temperament saves him from the nervous tension of the busy go-getter. Third, his nasal passages are broad and open, enabling him to breathe freely and have resonance of tone.

If Americans could contrive to defeat the climate, shielding their throats from contractions by cold, if they could live easily in the midst of their hurry, and if they would pay more attention to breathing an enunciation, Bernard Shaw would have less reason to jibe at the nasality of theif voices. (Copyright, 1930, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate, Inc.) The Glaring Headlight Evil. Editor The St. Louis Star: Glaring headlights on automobiles are a menace to life and limb. Only a few nights ago a man wras seriously injured at Euclid and Easton after he was momentarily blinded by the lights of an approaching automobile.

There seems to be no attempt to curb this evil in St. Louis. At least 50 per cent of the automobiles here are being driven about nightly with glaring headlights. Tilting of the lamps is of no value whatever; only the use of dimmers or side lights will overcome this menace. St.

Louis is as far behind the times in this safety measure as it is in all matters pertaining to traffic regulation and traffic law enforcement. Glaring headlights are not only dangerous, but absolutely unnecessary in these days of modern street lighting. Such lights are especially obnoxious when the streets are wet. CASAUBON.

THE NAME and ADDRESS OP THE WRITER MOST ACCOMPANY a communication as a matter of good faith, not to be printed if the writer prefers it be omitted. Editor The The St. Louis Star. The Public Has Its Own Remedy.

Editor The St. Louis Star: The prevailing furor for grand jury investigations is not without its humorous aspects in Madison County as well as in St. Clair County, 111. In St. Clair County a grand" jury was convened for the purpose of ferreting out vice and exposing the vicious as exemplified by dog track gamblers and the libellers of judges.

It adjourned after eulogizing a judge and "cussing" his "cuss-ers" "this and nothing more," as Poe's "Raven" has it. Stirred by this noble experiment in grand jury inquisitions as well as the more or less distinct snorts of rage from an impatient electorate, Madison County governing persons organized a similar experiment. Something of an appearance of action seemed to be required so the grand jury tried a little indicting. It may be possible, by the laws of Illinois, to Indict corporations, but it is manifestly impossible, not to say impracticable, to put them in jail. So the grand jury indicted the gambling corporations in Madison County, a noble gesture which the people of Madison County ought to remember for a long time.

It is instances of this sort-which lend color to 'the arguments of many noted thinkers as to the general debility of the jury system, grand and petit, as a means of securing justice and preserving the rights of citizens and the dignity of the state. Prosecutors tear their hair over the asinine conclusions of juries, and great legal and social lights point to them as a certain indication of the need of a new and revised system. Usually some substitute is pro THE HOROSCOPE HE SWEARS IN LITHUANIAN, TOO. If the Literary Digest had conducted a straw vote on the Sharkey-Schmeling fight, the 15,000,000 Americans who failed to return their ballots on prohibition would doubtless have' been eager to express their preference in this more momentous struggle. And they would have voted, to 'judge from what was heard around the radios, about 14 to 1 for Jack Sharkey the American against Max Schmeling the German.

The name Sharkey conjures up a long train of fistic heroes of the Anglo-Saxon Hibernian school. A man named Sharkey ought to win. It is inconceivable that he should do otherwise, and least of all lose on a foul. The explanation of the heart-rending denouement is, of course, that Sharkey's name is not Sharkey at all, but something which people just guess at from the way he pronounces it. He is the son take your choice now of Mr.

and Mrs. Cuckoshay, Mr. and Mrs. Coccoskey or Mr. and Mrs.

Zuchovsky, all of Lithuania. And their son's first name is Josef. That doesn't prevent hirn from being a good American ex-gob, nor should it deprive him of the support of any Americans except possibly the long-distance followers of Field Marshal Pilsudski, who conducted the last war against Lithuania. Yet, in many ways, Americanism is a conventional thing. Josef Cuckoshay could no more become the American national hero via the prize ring than Josef Coccoskey could become President.

And think what a shift in the betting odds there would have been if the country had visualized such an announcement as this: "Zuchovsky half way across the ring to meet the German. Zuchovsky led with left." Zuchovsky landed left hook. Max landed with left. Josef stepped away, jabbing at Max's face. Zuchovsky hooked twice to face." Our patriotism vanishes.

Among the people at large, rantings of these reformers are picked up and reiterated until, were a straw vote taken, the system would most likely be relegated to the limbo of useless things. But does anyone ever inquire where juries, grand as well as petit, get their information, or how that information is presented to them? It is conceded that a petit jury may, as often they do, err in arriving at a verdict. But there are many factors entering into a petit jury's deliberations over and above the evidence, which do not enter into the deliberations cf a grand jury. For a grand jury hears only the state's side of the case and its findings are limited to the mere determination as to whether the state has or has not sufficient evidence upon which to base a prosecution.

And the person who has the most knowledge and the first knowledge ot that evidence is the prosecuting attorney.

What I wish to state was the attitude of the conductor. I don't know whether the motorman knew of the incident or not, but the conductor did.

I informed him myself twice, first just after the incident. The car ran about one-half mile and the conductor did nothing. I again w-ent back and told him. Still he did nothing. After going quite a distance, he finally brought the car to a stop and allowed the patrons to come to him, but never took the trouble at any time to go to the damaged windows and examine them, or see how badly anyone was hurt, or question anyone.

Was Springfield ever the capital of Massachusetts? A. Springfield, although settled about 1636, was not incorporated a city until 1852 and was never the capital of the state.

Remove the painting from its frame. Lay a cloth moistened with rain water on the painting and leave it for a while to take up the dirt. Several applications may be necessary. Then wipe the picture gently with a tuft of cotton wool dampened with absolutely pure linseed oil. Q.

How may I clean an aluminum pan which is black on the outside from long usage? A. Apply a solution of thirty grams of borax in one liter of water containing a few drops of aqua ammonia.

25 YEARS AGO TODAY Hard Luck for This Musician. Editor The St. Louis Star: Would some one tell me why we have labor unions? I am speaking of the musicians' union.

ASSIST? The city counselor has drafted a bill introduced in the Board of Aldermen yesterday which would improve the city's condemnation methods except in their weakest place. It Is proposed to continue leaving appointment of the commissioners for each job to the circuit judges, and to retain the present compensation to these commissioners of $5 perdiem. In every other respect the bill is a distinct improvement over the existing law. If the old commission provision is retained other benefits will be nullified because no condemnation job can proceed until the commissioners have finished their work. There have been rumors that this feature of the law was to be retained because circuit judges are jealous of their patronage and a change might jeopardize passage of the bill.

We do not believe the judges take such a view of a matter so vital to the city's progress. Nobody knows better than the judges what a failure the present way of naming commissioners, and their appraisal methods, have been. The character of this new measure is going to decide whether city improvements costing millions are to be pushed toward completion, or lag as they have for years. In this crisis The St. Louis Star suggests that the circuit judges make their attitude clear to members of the Board of Aldermen who have the bill in charge.

If nual inspection tour of almost everything else, if reports of a so-called executive session are correct, the commission is more or less divided. It is a poor record after more than a year of deliberation which might have given the public some definite, outstanding plan. It is idle for any member of this commission to suggest granting another street railway franchise while the present franchises have ten years or more to run. Public sentiment toward present operators of the street car lines, and the service they are giving, would not tolerate any such move. The very fact that a new franchise is wanted so far in advance is an argument for not tieing up the city at this time.

Advocates of a new franchise say the company cannot buy modem cars, extend its lines or improve its service unless it can get a new grant to enable it to borrow money. We would have extensions, modern cars and good track now if the existing franchises had been lived up to by the old street railway crowd, and if present owners used the maintenance fund they collect from car xiders to keep the lines and equipment up to date. The public will believe promises of future good street car service when it sees a real effort to improve service under the franchises the company now has. It does not require more capital to straighten unnecessary turns and eliminate duplicate tracks. That would save money, if the Transit Survey Commission wants to render ta real service, let it center on those things and meanwhile use its energy to amend the law.

WTiether any county In Illinois will content itself with government which is inefficient, or which winks at the breaches of law by its own citizens or by citizens of other counties or of other states, is a question which every county may determine for itself at the polls cn election day.

As long as voters remain passive and permit political charlatans and self-appointed political czars to dictate "slates" and put Jhem over on election day, so long will misgovern-ment endure. Talk of abolishing the jury system, or of remodeling the judicial machinery, is in many instances but a smoke screen thrown out to hide the knavery or inefficiency cf persons in whose hands the public has confided the administration of the law and the execution of its mandates. There is a time of reckoning at hand, "believe it or not." You and I are not the sort of dreamers to believe in the possibility of a grand uprisings of the righteous. We know the righteous are content to sit by the fire and let their less tender brethren and Eisters do the voting and vote-getting on election day. We know their stock in trade is talk.

But they too will have their inning, for as surely as the sun shines and God sits on His throne, the rumbiings of a revolution are at hand. Not, of course, a bloody and incendiary riot, but one equally efficacious, if not more so one of ballots. It is true in Madison County and it is true in St. Clair County. The mere badge of partisanship will not save the political hides of those who deserve political extinction.
