Pay the Witnesses! Why Not?
- —<S '
THE STAR lias had much to say of late about men whom
the law ha* ordered locked up in jail to he used a*
witnesses against other men whom representative* of the law
are striving to convict. The men held as witnesses are not
criminals.
They are merely guests of the law Hut they are held
behind steel bars along with murderers and crooks.
They are unfortunate because they have no money to
command their freedom
They have learned during months in prison that money
carries a great deal of weight with the law
They are led to believe that justice is dealt out solely on
• money basis.
They wonder why a poor man should not have the <#m»
consideration as a rich one in this country, whose constitu
tion grants equal right* to all
And they have a right to think thus
The law certainly does distinguish between rich and
poor. The fact cannot be denied.
If these witnesses held in jail had good, cold, hard cash,
the law would bow to them and, for a price, let them go
•nd come, respected men.
If a man is to spend his days and months in the Inter
ests of the law he should he paid for his trouble
When a man goes into jail to appear later as a witness,
his business affairs or his job end until he comes out again
It would be the simplest sort of justice to pay him money
for every day he stays in jail at the request of the law.
"We've got to keep the men," say the prosecutors.
If this is really the case, and a poor man can't get out,
he should, at least, be rewarded in a small way for hia sacri
fice. Superior judges have in times past paid witnesses who
were held in jail. It is a practice worthy of revival.

Grog in the Navy
THE right of an individual to touch liquor or let it alone
is a personal right which end* where it infringes on the
equal rights of others It is very much like the right of a
person not to bathe—if he war.ts it to pass unchallenged he
ought to be willing to keep well to the leeward of others.
The new naval rule requiring fficers while on duty to
keep as free from dalliance with John Barleycorn as enlisted
men have long been required to do equalizes discipline in the
service, and on that score alone, if on no other, commends
Itself to believers in fair play ' '
It was a rank form of privilege to allow the men in gold
braid full liberty to maintain and to frequent a private "side
board while in service when for a plain "jackic a nip from a
bottle, if discovered, meant instant penalty
If it impairs the effectiveness of Uncle Sam's navy for
•n ordinary sailor to fill up with alcohol—and apparently it
does, for the officers have always insisted upon lack keep
ing sober —then it Is pretty hard for the landlubber to figure
out why the impairment isn't very much worse when the
drinking is done by an official with power over life and
death.
Some officers are reported to feel much peeved at the
new ruling, but they view the subject with unconscious bias
Their minds are deluded by the tradition that an officer is
necessarily a person of superior caste. Which isn't so

Home Rule—and After
A GOOD way to offset impatience when things here at
home wem to be moving too slowly is to think how it
took Ireland forty years of parliamentary fighting, to say
nothing of other kinds, to get limited home rule.
This, too, under a government often called a democracy,
in which a majority of the folks most vitally concerned have
been always on Ireland's side
What Ireland will do with it, now that she has got it,
it, of course, chiefly Ireland's concern.
We don't object, however, to making a prediction.
Our guess is that the Irish people will confound their
critics by the sanity with which they will proceed to govern
themselves.
There are no better administrator* of others than the
Irish. The world's history is full of brilliant triumphs of
Irishmen in other lands than Ireland.
With a fair chance, why shouldn't they do well, also,
at home?
Of course they will.
In hope of which here's our hand on it.
Erin go bragh!

the common birds, anlmala, treee
and flowers.
"lie Is taught to »wlm, send and

oars, and to carry message* at the
scouts' pace, to steps alternately
running and walking A scout Is
able to make five miles an hour
«lth this pace. an<l to keep It up In
definitely without eihaustlon.
"A scout must be observant and
must notice the smallest things.
EE* la taught to read the trull of an
animal (Ike a hook, and to know the
call* of the bird* Any boy will
do well to Join the scout* and may
the time come when erery boy will
be a boy scout."
