Which Shall it Be-.

The first civic duty of every citi-
zen should be to take firm stand
for the enforcement of law and or
der. Every town has its evils to
correct. There are none free from
crime. Even the birthplace of man
kind-that paradise of nature that
first Graded a human form-had its
serpent of sin. We are not condor
ing evil. 1t is always with US, and
we would forget the safety of our
homes, the welfare and good name
of our village if we forgot or over
looked its presence. We must not
look at it with "eyes that see not"
Laws are made to correct evil and it
is the duty Of every citizen to see
they are enforced. Officials cannot
successfully enforce law and order
without the local support of citizens.
This work must go hand in hand. If
there are officers whose vision of
Seeing not" is controlled by evil it
is the duty of the people to elect
those who can "see straight "-have
a normal vision and purpose
to enforce law and order and are not
influenced by the powers of evil to
5nrocraStinata and eyada tho nromnt
and impartial enforcement of our
laws. Our village is no worse than
others, but it is up to us to set the
standard. We can have peaceful,
lawabiding village which will bring
us. happiness and great honor or we
can blindly let evil reign and give it
a name of dishonor and reproach. 1t
lis up to to the citizens-which shall
it be?

certainly will have the support of
every citizen who stands for the
safety of the home and the good
name of our village.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-04-03

NEW YORK is the safest town in America
~ III which to shop. Merchandising
methods practised in New York are
cleaner than those used in any other large city
IN the United States. We think the policy of
he tribune is largely responsible for this con-
dltlon. Not that that policy has created any
radical change in the merchandising methods
practlsed by the legitimate merchants Of the
olty OF New York, but that it has limited and
destroyed the methods pursued by the illegiti-
mate merchant. The Tribune has done for
legitimate business that which legitimate busi-
ness could not do for ITSELF If any legitimate
merchant Of the City of New York should at
tempt to destroy an illegitinate competitor,
with whose methods he could not compete, the
legitimate merchant would at once be tarred
with the stick of competition and accused of
attempting to profit by the destruction of his
alleged competitor This defence is not open
to the shyster merchant whose methods are
questioned by The Tribune
Two men might NJ be arrested : in the h. same
taken to the same station house, incar-
cerated in the same kind Of cell, docketed
upon the same docket and compelled to ap-
pear before the same judge. Up to that point
both are mere offenders against the law But
right there, in their appearance before the
court, there is Distinction The one is or
dinarily law-abiding, reputable citizen,
whose offence may be technically or a mis-
conception Of the law. The other is man
who makes his living by criminal means The
first man can be handled by a mere suggestion,
but society must be protected from the latter.
And if the first mentioned should rail at the
law and demand it's repeal by reason Of the
slight embarrassment suffered personality he
would only deprive himself of the protection
he personally enjoys from the encroachment
Of the latter He would find himself Ultimate
ly prey to the second individual, with no pos
sible means of relief or redress.
TH4E policy of The Tribune is aimed at do
ing that thing for legitimate business
which legitimate business cannot do for
itself-at the absolute destruction of the illegit
innate merchant, the elimination of unfair
merchandising methods. Recently a buyer
for reputable New York store complained
that he did not like The Tribune criticism of
his advertising statements, even if they were
untrue And he insisted that he had right

to say what he pleased about his own mer-
chandlse. How absolutely unwise is the posi-
ton taken by this buyer! If it were carried out
to its logical conclusion it would absolutely de-
stroy the value Of his own position. It would
take away the requirement Of brains and ab-
ity III the handling Of department, and the
man who would be worth the most money as
buyer would be the man with the least con-
science; the man who was willing to put over
the greatest exaggeration. Carrying it through
out the store, it would absolutely DESTROY the
institution and take away its standing among
mercantile establishments. 1t would give
them class of competition which they could
only meet in kind and if he doubled his exag-
geration he would be required to compete with

he buys in the public prints and it belongs to
HIM. If he purchased home in a restricted
nelghborhood and an undesirable neighbor
moved into the neighborhood, thereby depre-
eating the value Of his property, he would
complain loudly Then why should he stand

loathsome, indecent medical copy; some lying
piece OF financial copy or any other advertis-

statements which he makes concerning his
own legitimate product? Under The Tribune
policy he has the assurance that he will not be
annoyed with neighbors Of this character.

IASCHA HEIFETz
CHARMS AUDIENCE
WITH HIS VIOLIN

Jascha Heifetz, the sensational vio-
IisIst of the season. attracted a ca
pacity audience at the National The
alter yesterday afternoon, filling the
auditorium and the stage, with many
standing. This young Russian is
amazing in his technique equipment
The ease Of his playing and the beauty
OF it, throughout every variety OF
yIolinistic demand. were an astonish-
ing. display of virtuosity. His tone
has a breadth and fullness and an
ever even timbre in his sustained
work that give to his playing the
poise and the masterful repose OF
the most mature artists.
Opening his program with two COM
positions OF the larger form, the
Handel sonata, E major, No. 2, and
the wieniawski concerto, D miRor,
one was divided between admiration
of the melting beauty OF the Handel
Largo" and the rare theme painting
OF the Romance" in the concerto, and
of the broad mastery in the first and
last movements OF the concerto. He
lyric romance of enhancing melodies,
at times as delicate as a zephyr and
again deep with pathos and loneliness.
But in the finale, "a la Zingara," he
rose to the climax of his playing with
a glory of tone and a marvel OF eNecu-
ton, with again that striking line be-
tween the pure lyric and the virtu-
osity in which every note In every
run, or double stop, or thrill was
"Hur'ess, cameo-like, and always
lovely.
ma Jascha Heiftz does not yet
sound the depths OF emotion is an at
tribute of his years, that must come
with living. His Imagination could
enrich the exquisite playing OF the
Chopin "Nocturne" which was most
alluring, and also the dramatic pior
ture in the Beethoven March Orien-
tale" from 1.-The Ruins OF Athens"
with an approach and retreat of the
soldiers that creates such dynamic
force. The rarest OF rare tones, how
ever. was in the Illusion OF the hfe at
the close OF the Beethoven.
Twice Sfr. Heifetz had to. play the
Beethoven study, the Chorus Of Der
Wishes" with its spinning OF rich
vibrant tone. and in the Sarasate
"ZIgeunerweisen" that closed the pro-
gram he gave with an alluring
rhythm many Of the Elusive, fairy ef-
fects of an Hungarian rhapsody, in
belI-like top notes and astonishingly
facile runs, in trills and in orchestral
qualities OF the upper tone world.
