"F0oL STUNTS"

FOOL STUNTS"
FROM General" Coxey comes one
of 2the most. luminous comments on
Henry Ford's proposed peace expedi.
ton to Europe. Coxey calls 1t 'one
of the ~foolest, stunts on record"
The General" may be remembered
as the crusader who. about twenty
yearssago, in. a time of great industrial
depressioh,iled an army of unemploy-
ed Imeh' from Ohio to Washington, by
way Of protest against existing condi-
tons. demanding that congress pro-
vide WORN. p
Coxey' didn't accomplish much. He
became the butt of national ridicule.
His army 'dwindled. When he reached
the white house, he was arrested for
walking or the grass. But his fool
stunts forced the nation to think about
t~he'problem of unemployment. And
though" we have thought about it SUI
perhciaffy and unwillingly, without any
results worth Dragging of. we're prob
ably'farther along the road of indus
trial progress than We should have
been without Coxey's crazy march.
It's absurd enough for Henry Ford
to imagine that by taking a shipload
OF ~hconspicuous American pacifsts to
Europe, The can get the soldiers out
OF the trenches by Christmas" His
action is Quixotic. 1t suggests a dove
protesting against a volcanic erup.
ton, or a Ford car bucking an ex-
press train. Moreover, to most Ameri
cans the time doesn't seem oppor-
tune for proposing peace-the issue
isn't fought out yet.
But It's just such absurd ideallsts
wn6 get things done in the world.
Columbus was ridiculed the same way
when he started on his exploring trip.
We can estimate Henry Ford's stunt"
better some years hence. Meanwhile,
he. deserves credit at least for typi.
cally American sincerity, b~enevolence
and the courage of his convictions.

Fighting the Jitney Bus.
(Bridgeport Telegram.)


 So sensational has been the success of the jitney bus, or five-cent taxicab in many of the cities where it has appeared that it has made most ser ious inroads upon the patronage and receipts of the street car companies, and consequently, efforts are being made to squelch the jitneys in the courts.
 ! It is easy to predict, however, that such attempts are doomed to failure from the start, and the powers behind them must be pitied for their lack of ima magination. 1t is a poor purblnd soft of an attempt to meet new situation.
 The streets belong to the public. They do not belong to any street rail- way, and nobody can be kept from using them. There are certain re- strictions for public safety which can be exercised through the policing power of the comm onwealth, but these restrictions will not be written by pri vate interests--at least, not in any de- cent community.
 The jitney bus idea is new one, and like all new conditions, 1t brings a host of problems in it's wake As taI CAdIIpIc OI tIlS SSIlSdIlOIldl SuC- cess of the five-cent automobile bus, the case of San Francisco might be cited. Four weeks after the first jitney appeared on the streets, San Francisco had over 1,5O0 in operation, and the receipts of the street car lines fell off $9,500 in the month. Los An geles had 1000 jitneys in operation by the middle of February. Such host of public vehicles naturally brought traffic problems in it's wake But the not lie in abolishing the traffic. and most cities are meeting the new con- ditions by attempting to divert the traffic properly, and by employing reg ulations to assure that the drivers of public vehicles are competent. Rea- sonable regulation for public safety is required. But regulation for the pur- pose of suppressing competition is quite another matter.
 In one case, that of Cleveland, O., the street railways are planning to meet the newly developed jitney com petition in really intelligent manner i. e., by opening competing lines giv- ing better service at a lower fare. The railroads are welcome to do this if they want to- The public can only bene fit by little healthy competitions; the whole trouble with the street rail- way situation is rooted in the fact that there has been no competition.

Thank God for President Wilson.
Christian Work

There are men who, had they been in the presidents chair during these trying times, would have the United States ere this at war with MeXico Ja-
 pan and Germany all at once. Things
 have been steadily getting worse.
 Every day things are happening which
 bear directly on our national honor.
 The declaration of the war zone by
 Germany is d direct violation of all international law, and the warning to the United States to keep out of it comes very close to am insult. Eng lands answer to Germany likewise throws international law to the winds and cuts our commerce to the quick. We think every serious minded man
 realizes that these are very perilous days and that international relations were never in such a sensitive state since the war of 1872. One lSe step would mean irreparable calamity | perhaps a war with several European powers. ....
 If ever a nation had anything for which to thank God it is that Mr. Will son is in the presidents office. With wise, calm, unrufflcd power he has steered the United States through these | daily perls and no sudden incident ! has made him lose his head. More l trying times may come at any mo- 1 ment. Suppose a German submarine 1 should sink one of ships? Can
 one not see what might happen with our people, whose nerves are now l high strung and overwrought?
 If ever there was time when men l who love their country should sup port the president and pray for him
 and hold up his hands it is in this hour when he is being tested as few l men have ever been in walking among 1 pitfalls innumerabe. And yet, at l just this time when he needs all help
 and when he is proving so wise, so l great leader, and when he is al- l most beseeching the people to uphold l him. large numbers of men. some be- l cause they see this is a chance, in time 1 of crisis, to gain their own ends, and l others because they have lost their 1 heads and become hysteriCal and pan | icy, doing everything in their
 power to embarrass the president and
 make his almost superhuman task in
 tinitely harder and more difficult We do not refer to those German-Am CT jeans who are trying to influence him,
 DOT to those of British descent who complain of neutrality. They have little weight and connot greatly em- 1 barrass him. We refer to that larger number who, in the very face of his
 requests and protests, insist on talk ing war, and preparation for war and
 of arming hugely on land and sea- and
 insist on pointing to our danger of
 invasion from victorious European | mowers, and clamor for military train ing to begin at once in schools and college. and are forming safety leagues. Defens leagues and American

The White Wonder of the Jerseys
(NcW York Sun )


 In the matter of social service who can olitrank I'indernc 1olgan Faync of Jersey Somervile but no Jersey? Who has done more.to promote social assuming mode for the general good?
 rinderne Holigan Payne is not an uplifter, q tax eater or professional servant of mankind. Like trans formed To, like the frolic critter that jumped over the moon. like Mrs. OLeary's four footed incendiary, she is but a COW; a COW, however, of tho high Holstein fashion. Only d threo- year-old, in 25S days she has 'beatcn'' the 365 days worlds "rccord' for butter fat. One thousand pounds or thereabout of butter fat, some 5000 Of milk: she is the bovine champion, the COW of the world. She has con- tributed far beyond her share to in- crease the public store and decrease the cost of living. Of what use is the Jersey legislature in comparison with this white wonder? How woebegone and draggIed the notorious Seven Si;s- ters by the side Of Sister Cow? As a Princeton poet sings:
 "Fndernc Holigan Payne,
 Your milk and your butter
 Your glory shall utter,
 A glory that never shall wanC,
 While the hay is in the nov and
 the moo is in the COW
 Soft goddess of lacteal rain, Finderne Holigan Faynei'
 Youthful raptures; yet some of us may be inclined to wonder if I'inderne Holigan Payne is not the first citi- zen of New Jersey.
