How long should a good motor truck fast?
 In the light of present day motor truck development, that question, pert inent as it always has been and d. ways will be to the truck owner and prospective owner, must be revised to read:
 How far will a good truck run?
 Miles-old is the true measure of the aggregate of a trucks service. Due to differences in the needs of business, it is possible for one truck to travel six or eight or ten times as far as another in the same time-although both operate efficiently.

Back to First Principles.

The police investigation dscloses peculiar
condition in which we see the commissioner
in charge of the police department actively de-
tending the officers under trial for misconduct
and at the same time sitting as Judge in the
case.
This anomaly apparently grows out of
patchwork of laws superimposng our commits
sion plan of government on the old mayor and
council system. Under the old regime the po-
lice were subject to board of fire and police
commissioners, and the police board in turn
accountable to the mayor and council. To safe
guard police officers from arbitrary action they
were entitled to hearing on charges before
moval, and it is specifically provided that "ths
provision shall not be construed to prevent per-
emptory suspension of such member by his
superiors in case of misconduct, neglect of duty
or disobedience of orders" and to prevent
needlessly prolonged suspension, the trial was
to be held at the second meeting of the board
thereafter. In the case of a police commits
sioner charged with misconduct the council was
similarly to grant hearing and reach de-
cision upon the testimony within reasonable
time.
The absorption by the council of the powers
and the assignment of one of the council to
superintend the police department has obviously
confused all the checks and balances, and
it is time to get back to first principles If
the police commissioner wants to be executive
head of the police department and share the
blame for all the misdeeds of his subordnates,
defending them his own, he should not sit
as judge in his own case On the other hand,
ifSall the councilmen to serve as judges in
these cases, the one assigned to supervision of
the police department should act as the law con-
templates, only through his chief of police, hold
ing the chief responsible for the force under
him and keeping himself in position to be fair
and impartial in deciding on complaints that
come up to him. There is time-tried and &C
cepted rule that no man can properly be judge
in his own case, and this applies to city coun
ell acting as court the same as to any other
judicial body.

It has been demonstrated as result of the
war that there can be no such thing as fifty
fifty American loyalty. In consequence of a
resolution presented by democratic member
from Texas and adopted by the lower house of
congress, we may have some light soon upon
the prevailing percentage range of obligations
to the government of payroll employees in the
hire also of private individuals or corporations.
The resolution calls upon the heads OF each
Of the government departments to report at
the earliest possible moment "the names of all
government employees of that department who
are also employed by any person, firm or cor
poration, the name of such employer, the hours
of service given to such employer and the
amount of compensation received by such en-
ploye per month for such outside service"
The inquiry is plainly aimed at some fragrant
abuses. In urging this resolution its sponsor,
Congressman Blanton, declared that he knew
of one instance where the head of an i'm
portant bureau, drawing $4,000 from the fed
eral treasury, was also paid large salary by
private concern to manage its Washington at
fairs and that the office and clerical force of
this concern had been housed in government
building, with free rent, free light, free water
and free janitor service, paid for by the gov
eminent He also claimed knowledge of nu-
merous department appointees pulling down
large salaries from private concerns whose work
they performed during hours for which they
were paid by the government. To ascertain
the facts, QUESTIONABLE is to be filled in by
the employees in the various departments
swering specifically whether they are receiving
outside salaries, the names of their outside en-
ployer and the compensation received.
If this procedure proves advantageous for
stopping these abuses in the federal govern
ment why will it not point the way for like
action by our state, county and city govern
ments? A dual employment may sometimes be
unobjectionable, depending wholly upon the
kind of employment and whether one interferes
with the proper performance of the duties OF
the other. When private concern puts
public servant on its payroll, it is fully aware
of that fact, but the employing public is not
consulted nor usually advised of it. In any
event, it will do no harm to know what public
officers and employees also have other positions
and to what extent there is possibility of con-
Aict between their interests and the public in
terests.

of American thought and elect him
unanimously? You may call this a

VOTE THE ROAD BONDS.

Voters of Douglas county are called upon to
approve authority for 100000 bond issue, the
proceeds to be used in road improvement.
In amount this is the biggest bond issue ever
asked for such purpose, or for any other pur-
pose for that matter except to buy 4 public
service plant, but Omaha and Douglas county
are doing things on big scale nowadays and
the big figures should not scare US off.
All must realize, if they do not already, that
a complete transformation of our transportation
methods is in progress, that we are almost over
from the era of horse-drawn wagons and car
riages to that of motor cars trucks and tractors
and that present roadbed needs for the day-by-
day traffic are entirely different from what they
formerly were. Money put into temporary road
work or paving surfaces inadequate to this
traffic is money wasted, and it would be better
to do nothing unless we are prepared to build
roads that will meet future requirements
Douglas county in years past has spent a
great deal of money on county road building
without satisfactory returns. If the 100000
bond issue is now voted, the taxpayers who
foot the bills will have to see to it that there is
vigant oversight over its expenditure and
make sure that this money is not also wasted
They must furthermore, insist that the selec-
ton Of the roads to be improved by paving will
be highways promising the most benefit to the
in-and-out traffic of the city rather than roads
that benefit but few or tend merely to raise
the value of tracts belonging to favored land
owners. The civic organizations that are back
ing the bond issue may we believe, be relied on
to continue their interest to the proper expendi-
ture of the money, and this should remove any
hesitation reluctance to approve the bond
proposition.

The Fears of the Young

DR.. Watson, one OF the Johns Hopkins
psychologists, has been raising some interesting
questions based on some laboratory studies Of
children. His general conclusion was that many
Of the motions of children, especially their fears
which ar usually regarded as instructive, are, in
fact the result Of training and frequently Of too
much "cudding" on the part of parents. He
sustained his point by the experience of three
children from hospital who had been reared
as to receive practically no stimulus to their
emotions. None of those children were afraid
of strange animals. Little girls showed no fear
children was afraid of the dark. DR.. Watson's
general conclusion seems to have been that
childish fears are the result of training and that
they may be and should be avoided.
Why should child be afraid of spider but
not OF snake? Why should healthy little girl
a girl not be afraid of mice, but utterly unable
TO remove bug or worm from her clothing?
These and dozens of other puzzles will occur to
people who have taught children
DR.. Watson's theory that>fears are implanted
by training does not 60 far as guide for per-
picked parents. Some sort of training children
must have. A child must be taught not to
touch hot stove, not to lean out of window
and hundred other matters of self-protection
Many other things it will learn by imitation of
its elders without any formal instruction. That
sort OF training is inevitable unless the baby is
to be brought up in glass case. And more
over such training is highly desirable. 1t gives
to the child so much Of the experience of the
race as it is able to comprehend and apply. A
child is better equipped with it than without
even though in the latter case the child should
escape the fear of mice, of dogs and of the
dark. The point for parents is to discriminate
between wise fears. which make for the child's
safety, and foolish fears, like that of mice. which

~ level shelf and came to a stop
at the top Of the lower slide. He
lay sprawled upon his back, with
one foot over the edge. A good shove
would send him flying downward
again.
And Balky Sam was there to sup
ply that shove. His nimble heels
kicked out. Whack! They hit Red
Boards pudgy body, and the fat
Turk went tumbling and rolling to-
ward the valley.
Whish! Down came one Of the
horsemen. Whack. Balky Sam
heels sent him whirling after his
master. Whish! came a horse, and
whack! he followed his rider. Thus
1t went, whish and whack until
every horseman and every horse had
been sent tumbling into the valley.
Then down came the bandits, in
tent upon revenge, and they got what
they hadn't expected, for Balky
