INS AND OUTS OF LAW.
pONSIDER the pleaaant In and out of too law'a
technicalities. New York lawyers, who have
tudied the case agalnat Bruno R. Hauptmann,
Lindbergh kidnaping suspect, point out that what
the general public has taken for a Tory strong
ease agalnat him la really pretty weak.
To begin with: Is Hauptmann to be tried In
New Jersey for kidnaping? By New Jersey law,
kidnaping is a felony, and no Indictment on a felony
can be drawn there If two years hare elapsed be
tween the time the crime was committed and the
time the grand Jury takes the case.
But this statute Is voided In cases where the
prisoner has been a fugitive from Justice. Very
well, then from what was Hauptmann a fugitive?
There was no charge against him at any time
before hlB arrest. No kidnaping Indictment was
ever handed down.
Can New Jersey try him for murder? To do so,
the state muet prove that he was at the scene of
the crime which, unless the authorities have Im
portant evidence st whose existence they have not
even hinted, may well be quite Impossible. They
must prove that the Lindbergh baby was murdered,
which may also be difficult.
Indeed, some lawyers assert that as the evidence
stands now, there Is actually room for doubt
whether Hauptmann could even be extradited from
New York to New Jersey.
Suppose, then, that he stands trial In New York
for extortion. It Is reported that Dr. John F. Con
don la unable to Identify Hauptmann definitely as
the man to whom he gave the ransom money. In
that case, say the lawyers, the New York extortion
ehargo might not survive a session In court.
All of this Indicates that the road to a con
viction In the Lindbergh case may be a rocky one.
The fact that a man Is found In possession of
money definitely Identifiable as the ransom money
may be damning. In the eyes of the general public;
In court of law, more evidence Is needed.
, Now this does not necessarily mean that the
law Is, as Mr. Bumble once remarked, "a ass."
The law la quite properly devised so that an ac
cused man gets the benefit of every doubt. A man
most not be convicted on mere likelihood; the
jury must be certain. .
Bnt It does throw a light on some of the dlffl
cultlea that lie In the path of a prosecutor. A case
that looks atrong to the man In the street may
look weak Indeed to the lawyer.
EXPENSIVE DEFENSE.
TF naval technicians had not evolved their art to
inch high degree of complicated and costly
perfection, the price of building first-rate battle
fleet would be a great deal less tban It Is and
the economlo argument for armament reduction
would lose much of lta force.
Construction was begun the other day at the
Philadelphia navy yard of two new 1500-ton destroy
ers, the Casein and the Shaw. Each boat wilt cost
approximately $3,700,000 for hull and machinery.
' Contrast that with bills that were Incurred a
generation ago, whon the United States began to
rebuild Its fleet following the post-Civil War let
down. The Olympla, a heavy cruiser used as Ad
miral Dewey's flagship at Manila bay; cost almost
exactly what one of these new destroyers will cost.
In other words, the coat of building one of the
lighter craft, which a first-rate navy must number
by the doten, Is equal to the coat of a main unit
of the fleet a generation ago. No wonder modern
navies are expensive!
USELESS AIR RACING.
MAJOR JIMMY DOOLITTLB Is the dean of
America's speed racers., and knows about aa
much about airplane race as any man alive. So
when he tells the National Safety Congreaa that
air racing has Just about outlived Its usefulness
as he did, a few days ago his words demand at
tention. Major Doollttle cited five principal advancea In
airplane design In recent years, and asserted that
none of them was attributable to air racing. Ad
mitting that air races did, originally, promote avia
tion safety through the testing of planes, materials
and engines, he added that "It would appear, of
late, that the value received Is not commensurate
with the personal risk Invoked."
Death takes a heavy toll of our speed flyers.
Perhapa the time has coma to question, with Major
Doollttle, whether the game Is worth the price.
A 70-year-old Hungarian farmer wanted to he
put Into an asylum for marrying SO years ago.
A wise bird, to wait t0 years before letting It be
known he was craty then.
Rumanians are atlll trying to get Mme. Lupascu
out of the country. Many wouldn't mind If Klug
Carol got sore and threatened to go with her.
The police inspector of Lille, France, was caught

WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK
AS THEY COME
(Portland Journal)
AN OFFICIAL land report recently submitted shows
tbe Willamette vsllty to be better prepared for
settlement than sny other if it Ion of Oregon. A lot of
people are moving Out way. There is a big Job ahead.
and It must be dune as quickly snd aa well as possible.
It was a broad and aighly informed statement of
the needs of the Willamette valley that Senator Mc
Nary made to the Willamette Valley Flood Control as
sociation. Hie position that the time baa come to cost
into one program Ibe needs and opportunities of the
Willamette valley wss well taken. Ilia confidence that
the government will help in auch a program waa based
upon personal knowledge.
To do something real, however, requires atrong or
ganisation representing all intereata. It calls for ag
gressive policy. The uses of the land and of tbe water,
tbe understanding of potential power and the advance
ment of industry, are essential. The fear of members
of the Flood Control association that the railroads
would be hostile if they considered navigation, snd that
the power companies would be displeased if they can
vassed potential hydro-electric energy, need not bar
tbe flood control organisation from identification In a
forword-looklng movement. It may concentrate on
flood control studies. Others may create the complete
picture of magnificent opportunity in the Willamette
valley, adding, aa it la prepared, flood control Informa
tion, and making sure that no land speculation mars
tbe integrity of the work to be done.
WASHINGTON LETTER
During the absence of Rodney Duteher,
Register-Guard Washington Correapondent, on
vacation, the dally Wsahington Letter Is Being
written by Willis Thornton.
By WILLIS THORNTON
Register-Guard Waabingtou Correapondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. AH rour life you've prob
ably heard about government red tspe. Did you
ever see red tape unwinding? Well, I did.
The Veterans' Bureau Is Jnst completing the unwind
ing nnd throwing away of 200 miles of real, authentic,
tangible government red tape.
It has Inherited from the old Pension Office the
dusty document files that record the cases of soldiers
of post-Clrll War days. Down in a dungeon-like cellar,
three floors below the street, the records lay.
The folded document those relating to each case
tied neatly together with red tope about a half Inch
wide (the same kind you see on documents in lawyers'
offices), stood nprlght In deep, narrow, galvanised
iron trnys with a handle on the front to slide them In
and nut of their shelving.
The Veterans' Bureau, which now contsins records
on some 10,000,000 individuals, Ik crowded for spnee.
So last March. Chief Clrk W. C. Black atarted 237
emergency employes to taking these red tapehound
packets of documents from the flies nnd sorting them,
and re-fillng them In a modern flat filing system.
As the red tape, often faded and rotten, was
snapped on each package, s cascade of dust spread
on the table-tops, for the tin tray files were open at
the top and not dust-proof. Three hundred and sixty
thousand of thes. packet have been unwrapped and
transferred to 2500 filing cases, the 200 miles of
red tape going Into the wsstehaskets.
FILES TO FLOWER POTS
Of course that's onlv the cases actively drawing
benefits. Thousand of tln-troy files of inactive casea
remain, with their red tape ahonl them, because it's
figured that it's hardly worth the time to unwrap snd
re-file them.
One result of sll this Is that many Washington
housewives will have new window boxes. Re-filing made
the ancient tin cases useless. But though narrower
than the usual window box, they're really excellent
for flower pots, and the bureau sold them for Jnst
that, thus getting some small by-product return on the
Job,
Don't get the Idea that these millions of files In
the cavernous depths beneath the Veterans' Bureau
sre all the soldier files. The bureau has 18,000 feet
of widow's records In one detached warehouse and
50,000 feet of similar bureau records in another. To ssy
nothing of the Revolutionary snd Wsr of 1812 records,
which sre at the Navy Department.
Many of these documents have alrearfv heen flnt.
filed, because their condition demanded It there sre
commissions on which "His Mnjesty George III" etc. Is
crossed out and "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts"
scratched In with a pen-that's the vintage of those
records. Some of them may be transferred to the
Archivea building when that's finished.
MORE EFFICIENCY '
Speaking of red tape, tbe Indian Bureau Just un
raveled some Itself. For (10 years Indian agenclea have
been making out a complete tew roll of all Indiana
every year. Thus an Indian 50 yesrs old has been
reported 50 times.
Just this year somebody hsd the happy thought that
If the agencies merely reported the births and destbs
esch year, these could quickly be checked against a
permanent list at Washington, thua giving Just as good
a record, and eliminating work thnt has been calculated
to have wasted the equivalent of the time of one
stenographer working seven hours a day for 853 years.
NEW DEAL CHIEF JUSTICE
Now that everybody 's apecuiatlng on the attitude
of the supreme court, it may contribute something to
note that Chief Justice Hughes has hsd his brushr
benrd trimmed much shorter during the recess, leaving
what la comparatively little moro than a Van Dyke. . .
When President Roosevelt spoke on tbe radio the other
night from the oval room In the White House basement,
attendants upstalra on the ground floor couldn't even
hear him on the radio that stands In the reception
hall. Wrong kind of current. , . . For the moat
romantic name, we nominate Golden Bell, that new
special assistant to the attorney general, generally be
lieved to be handling the Ilnude case. . . . And speaking
of names, one guess as to where Is the habitat of

AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH
By DIt. MORRIS FI8HBEIN
Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association,
And of Hvgela, the Health Magaslne
LTIIOnill doctors sre still in the dsrk shout the
cause of cancer, yon have less need to dread this
condition than ever hefore. The reason la that the
medical profession tins made great strides In the con
trol of cancer by application of radium and X-ray.
Part of this advance is due lo Improvements in the
manner In which both radium and X-ray are used.
Long ago It was found that the tissues which make
up a cancer are more sensitive to radium and the
X-ray than are ordinary tissues. The tissues that make
up a cancer are like those of a growing infant after
birth. These are very much more sensitive to radiation
than are the tissues of rrown people.
It has also been found that beneficial effecta of
X-rav and radium on cancer are due not only to
changes produced in the cancer ftself, hut also to the
reaction (hat takes place in the tissues around tht
cancer.
Radium may now he applied In cancer not otjv
directly to growths on the surface of the body but
also to growths within the body. This l accomplished
by the use of gold anil platinum seeds In which the
emanation of radium U rut directly into the growth.
X-ray apparatus has heen Improved so that it la
now possible to give, itl a short time, enormously
high dosages of the ra.vs,
lairing the last 1.1 yenrs. eitenslve studv has heen
made of the use of both these methods Cases have
been recorded and have been reported before medical
societies, and in lliai war the adence ot medicine has
been advanced.
With development of tbe new devices, methods of
treatment of cancer In various portions of tbe body
have been modified. Particularly has radinm heen found
to be of value In cancer of the Internal generative
organs of women. These methods are a great advance
over previous methods of treatment.
Cancer of the breast in women used to be treated
with Irradiation methods only when considered Inoper
able. Nowadays Irradiation is ored sometimes before
operation, sometimes in connection with the operation,
and In many instances after operation.
By studying eases treated with various methods ami
by reporting their results In medics! meetings and In
medical Journals, the collective etperlence of the
medical profession is l. pt before tbe profession, so
that eieniuslly standard meihoda of almost certain
benefit can be worked out.

CHRISTIANITY existed before the
Bible, or at least before the New
Testament. It was not the Book that
made Christianity, but Christianity
that gave us the Book.
It is somewhat important to re
member this, because there hsve been
those who would make the Bible and
its formal interpretation more im
portant than the direct experience of
the soul in God and in Christ.
In our study of the Bible, and espe
cially the New Testament, tbe most
important thing is to grasp the reality
of the experiences thst created both
the Book and tbe Church, and to find
the reproduction of those experiences
in our own lives.
The Ethioplsn In our lesson was a
man of the Book. That was to his
credit. Ho had discovered the Old
Testament, and be .evidently loved It
and read it with seal.
But, like more than one man of
the Book, he had not yet come to the
fullness and richness of the experi
ence underlying the thlnga that he
read. So it was that he needed some
expositor, like Philip, to interpret the
meaning of spiritual truth for "him and
to make it vital in his own life.
The Ethiopian evidently was an apt
and ready student, as every true and
open-minded lover of the Scriptures
must be. He responded with simple
sincerity to Philip's exposition of the
Christian way, and he was immedlste
and urgent in his determination to be
baptised. When that had been
achieved. Philip suddenly disappeared,
but the Ethiopion went ,
rejoicing.
