Should Warren McCray Be Pardoned?
By CHESTER. H. ROWELD.
Justice must not “play favorites."
Therefore. in .‘order not to seem to
do so. it is sometimes tempted to do
opposite, i and Sacrimlnate
against the "fa‘vored."
That may be] the case with Gov-
ernor Warren T. McCray of lndiana.
on whose behalf a long list of gov-
ernors and other influential persons
have presented; a. petition to Attorg
ney General Sargent.
Considering the case just by itself,
it would doubtless be just as well to
parole Governor McCray.
He has “learned his lesson" and-
sulfered exemplary punishment. He
would be safe; at large. and would
be more useful outside earning the
money to repay those he defrauded
than living at the expense of the
state in prison.
If he were: an unknown person.
these considerations would be per-
suasive in an application for parole.
But because he is so well known:
because his release might give color
to the cynical view that "it is only
the poor fellow without a pull that
is punished.".‘the question is not so
efi'yv “
Personal justice is important. But
general confidence in justice is also
essential. ‘
Oontlnuatlon.‘ 0f Nordic Supremacy.
Speaking for the thousand million
dark-skinned inhabitants of the
earth; Rev. William Y.-Bell. an Am-
erican negro‘. ,said at Stockholm.
“We are determined and set. under
God, to puncture the bubble of Nor-
dlc superiority."
There canlbe no question that. for
the first‘tims in human history, this
”w-
cry of the dark against the preten-
sions of the white is an organised
and practical determination.
Once it was a more protest: now
it is a crusade.
The riots in China: the defiance of
Japan; the nationalistic movements
in lndia. Turkey. Egypt and the
Philippines: the uprisings in the
Sudan and the Rift. all are conscious
parts of a. united movement.
The great war did more than up-
set Europe. It knocked the white
man off his pedestal all over the
world. It aroused the black. the
brown and the yellow peoples
against the white foreigners. and
the brunet whites against the blonds.
It Nordic supremacy is to con-
tinue. it must be by the achieve-
ments of the Nordic. not by the
passive asquiescence of the remain-
der of humanity in ihe mere asser-
tion of his claims.
As to the “superiority" of one race
over another, not much is yet delin-
ltely known.
. But one thing is certain. No dif-
ference of race is so great as the dif-
ferences of individuals in all races.
The gap between the brightest and
the dullest white man, or the bright-
est and dullest negro. is incompar-
ably wider than any ascertainsble
difference between whites and ne-
groes generally.
If the white race is .l'superlor" to
the black, in mental capacity. it is
not because an able willie man is
more intelligent than an able negro,
or a stupid negro more stupid than
a stupid white man. but because
there is a larger proportion of one
or the other in the two races.
How To Keep Well
Next to slack of food. great fa-
tigue is prbbably the most potent
predisposing factor in tuberculosis.
Exhaustion may be produced by
hours of heavy work and also by
lack of sleep and worry. long hours
of study. in fact any excessive or
prolonged .‘exertlon.
Even out-door sports, winter or
summer. which are certainly to be
encouraged. may defeat their chief
end if indulged in to an immoder-
ate degree or to the exclusion of
proper resting periods.
Child labor. whether in factory or
home, with excessively long working
hours. occupations of the type that
cannot be interrupted for Sunday
rest or which teinpt or drive by
piece-work to excessive efforts 'or
“speedingi-up." all tend to weaken
resistance and predispose to illness
Bad air or lack of proper ventil-
ation may also act as a predispos-
ing cause‘‘ of this disease.
The air. of poorly ventilated rooms
is bad. Not only in factory and
workshlpjand in overheated. poorly
ventilated places of amusement, but
also all too frequently in his own
home tilt ordinary individual lacks
good alr.‘ When air is breathed and
re-breathed it becomes laden with
poisonouh materials.
' Ventilation Is Very Important.
Anyone who lives long in vitia-
ted air Cgrows pale. loses appetite.
takes cold easily and becomes tired
from slight exertion.
.When‘l we remember that many
babies. most children and practical-
ly all grown-ups are infected with
tubercle] bacilli and when we know
the fatal effects of close confine-
ment. the need for proper ventila-
tion becomes apparent.
Air flows. in very much the same
way, as does water. To renew itself
in a room. air should have an inlet
and enjoutlet. ‘
A room must be flushed. with
flowing air to sweep out pollution
and this flow should be constant
both in“ winter and summer.

NEW YORK. Sept. ii.-—-l-Iarvest
time aprpoaches, not only on the
farm {but on Broadway where the
gamblers gather in their boobs.
During the summer months the pig
gamblers move to the shore resorts
and to Saratoga. They work while
they play. When the vacation season
ends they come back to their old
haunts.
The Broadway sharks go about
their.‘ business of gathering in easy
dollars just as methodically as the
farmer goes about gathering in his
hardvearned harvest. -
Ea‘ch game-keeper has his ‘own
staff: of solic‘tors who bring‘busl-
ness‘lto his is nt. Each solicitor has
a. certain territory to work for
"proispects." .Each gaming house
has its own scheme 'of safeguarding
against raids. ‘
The same ingenuity that is put
intol the shady transactions of
Brondwsy gamblers would bring far
greater returns if it were employed
in some legitimate business. I sup-
pcso it is the thrill “and the adven-
ture of dodging the law that leads
some unusually brainy men into the
game. .'

biggest gamblers is endowed with
several degrees and could qualify it
practise both medicine and law.
Yet the greater number of the
sporting men along Incandescent
Row are illiterate and uncouth. But
they possess a native shrewdness
that fits them for their work.

It has long been known that

children are especially liable to be
followed by tuberculosis of the
lungs and every effort should be
made to protect a child from these
diseases. .
Mouth breathing should be cor-
rected and udcnoide removed.

typhoid fever and all diseases which
lower resistance, lessen nourishment
and increase the stress of life at
any age must be reckoned with as
important factors in predisposing to

The United States Public Health
Service wishes to emphasize that at
an early age practically all people
have become slightly infected with
living tubercle bacilli.
This fact need not cause alarm
be-cause such infection probably
gives a slight degree of protection
against a subsequent infection.
Safety. however, depends upon
the maintenance of a high degree of
organic resistance to prevent these
latent bacilli frof producing actlv
tuberculosis. “

principles throughout life.

of an earthquake. '
Within a. reasonable number of
years they hope to be able to do that
for the California earthquake region
For the most comprehensive study
of such a region ever undertaken is
now under way in California.
The Carnegie Institution of Wash-
ington is carrying on the study with
the aid of the U. S. Coast Survey.
the U. S. Geological Survey. the Eu.
reau of Standards. the University of
California. Leland Stanford Univer-
sity and the U. S. Navy.
The first task. as Dr. Arthur L.
Day of the Carnegie Institution
points out. is to. find out enctly
what is happening inside the earth
in the California region.
For students of the earth now
agree that a nesrthquske is merely
the releasing of strains and stresses
which have been accumulated
through the shifting and movement
of the layers of rock.
Many geologists believe that there
is an actual movement or "creep" of
the whole San Francisco bay region
and that the land here, covered as it
is with busy cities. villages and
farms, is slowly moving northward
at the rate of about one foot a year.
s e
A survey has been undertaken of
the San Francisco bay region in or-
der to establish definitely my
"creep" of the land. ‘
A system of gigantic triangles is
being marked out on the land start-
ing with points at Mt. Lola and Mt.
Round Tcp‘at'the north and the
Colorado river basin at the south.

it will be possible to determine ae-

of the so-called San Andreas fault is
croepling southward, r‘vhiie the land

O 0 O
The U. S. Geological Survey is co-
operating in the study by making
an intensive study of the structure
of the rock layers in the region so
that surface movements may be in-
terpreted in the light of this knowl-
edge. '
With the aid of the new sonic
depth-tinder. the U. 8. Navy has
plotted the topography of the floor
of San Francisco by so .thst the
scientists will have this additional
knowledge to help them.
In addition. specially delicate seis-
