Commercialized Reforms

IL dove has found a resting place in the

moreover, that II will be ensnared by COM
mercialism.
Reforms have made more or less headway
in recent months by being turned into
money-making schemes. They have often
been seized opportunities for getting the
reformers before the public
The white slave traffic and the group Of
issues which were turned over by the muck
raker are examples. The peace movement
will soon appear on the stage and in the
moving pictures. Great ideals lend them
selves naturally to the passion of promotion.
They are correspondlngly cheapened by los
ing their authority.
The propaganda for peace is sacred and
serious campaign, and it would be unfor-
tunate If il lost its power of appeal by clap
trap methods, and through playwrights
speakers and writers who have selfish mo-
tives The peace ideal is distinctly moral and
involves the economic and social welfare. 1t is
rooted in the divinest soil of the soul, and its
fruits are numbered among the best results
of civilization. It's realization requires the
sanest thinking and the most digniied treat

ONE of the queer things about Borah is
~ that he really believes in the primary
system of making nominations for public
office. He is not boasting overmuch Of some of
the results that have been obtained so far;
but believes that after while, the people will
find the way Of getting through the primaries
what in many instances they failed to secure
through the old convention system. He has
refrained from saying what excuse can be
made for the enormous cost of duplicating or
duplicating election expenses, but in this
case as in so many others the people pay the
freight, If there were less party and more
men, If the entries at the election assizes
were open TO all and there was no jockeying
on the course the public interests would not

Borah, of Idaho. in a street car conversation
last night "As 1t is. however, I am quite
sure there will be very considerable reduc-
tion in the Democratic majority in Congress,

n DING back to Senator BOrah, ii is worth
VI noting, perhaps, that he has been con-
sdered by some men of influence in his partya
as very available Presidential timber for
reunited Republican party. He has been lib
eral in his views almost Progressive, in fact;
but he has preserved in spite of his emotions,
strict party regularity. in the belief that he
would he able to do more effectively the re-
forms he would accomplish in the party than
out of it, He will not say anything of the
kind, but many who think as he does protest
that allegiance to an individual has obscured
the loyalty of thousands of thorough going
Republicans to their party. Wayne Mac
Veagh, one of the Elder Statesmen" of
Pennsylvania, has a very high opinion Of
Borah, because of his character and proved
ability, and in spite Of the fact that he halls
from one of the newer states, which does not
cast as many votes the single county of
Philadelphia in Pennsylvania or Cook County
in Illinois. believes that he would make
most acceptable President and winning
candidate for the Republican party in 1916.
That is to say, Mr.. MacVeagh had some such
thought in his head which he expressed quite
positively last winter What effect a long !
hot summer spent in silent reflection at
Valley Forge may have had on his maturer
Judgment this deponent saith not. One thing
may be said with certainty, Mr.. Borah is not
seeking the nomination; indeed. there have
been indications within the recent past that he
is not enamored of his present job in the
Senate. It is n trial of any mans patience
and patriotism, and especially of a lawyer
with clients capable of paying living fees to
work a year for a paltry s75OO when he
earn as much

WHAT THE ACTIVE
AUTO|STS DESIRE

With a smile the coroner issued
pedestrian rules which he explained
had been suggested to him by the
speed maniac" The rules are:
/. Pedestrians crossing boulevards
at night shall wear a white light in
front and red light in the rear.
2. Before turning to the right or
left the pedestrian shall give three
sharp blasts of horn not less than
three inches in diameter.
g. When an experienced automo-
bile driver is made nervous by pc
destrians he shall indicate the same
and the pedestrians shall hide be-
hind a tree until the automobile has
passed
4. Pedestrians shall not carry any
sharp substances in their pockets
which are liable to injure automobile
tires.
5. In lodging automobiles pedes-
trians shall not run more than seven
miles an hour.
g. Pedestrians must register at
the beginning of each year and must
pay a license of SIS for the privilege
of living. There shall be no rebate
if they do not live through the year,
Z. Pedestrians will not be allowed
to emit cigarette smoke on any bou-
levard in an offensive or unnecessary
manner.
s. A pedestrian before receiving
his license to walk upon a boulevard
must demonstrate his ability in dodg-
ing. leaping, crawling and extracting
himself from machinery.
3. Pedestrians will be held re-
sponsible for all damage done to
automobiles or their occupants by
collision.
