ANOTHER wicked" EDITOR.
We do not believe it is the place
of newspaper to stir up strife and
Ill feeling in the community. Re-
suits are secured by cooperation. A
community divided against itself
will make very little progress. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world to
say unpleasant things because 1t is
human nature to criticise Many
times this paper has had opportuni-
ties to publish very interesting
items of news. They were left out
Intentionally b ecause they would
bring pain and a feeling of resent
ment to few individuals. We
don't believe in flattery but firmly
believe in the principle that a
boouet smells sweeter to all OF us
before. rather than after we have
been placed beneath the silent clods
Of the valley. "-Kendrick Gazette.

a right to live. do things in his

act that someone did that was not
to your liking and never have 1t

conscientiously say to yourself that
you can do these things you can
commend yourself as being big

to pull someone else down. If your
neighbor or competitor succeeds
your own success will not be long
delayed if you join procession. Envy

PLAN CLOSER UNION
Movement to Draw English
Speaking Peoples Together.
iished in America Is in
Philadelphia.

WashingtGn.-It is the general feel
ing that the foundation on which the
proposed League Of Nations must be
built is complete understanding and
friendly cooperation between the two
great English-Speaking peoples; that
on the Americans and the British will
fall largely the task of making the
world safe for democracy. Realizing
this, a group of Americans and Brit
ishers have started movement to
draw the English-speaking peoples of
the world closer together In the bond
of comradeship and have organized
the English Speaking Union.
The aim of the union is, briefly, to
make the English-speaking peoples Of
the world better known to each other,
whether they be Americans. Austria
lians, Canadians. New Zealanders,
South Africans, Observation-Disclosures or
the inhabitants OF the British isles
and their dependencies. II does not
aim at formal alliances. nor is it con-
cerned with the relationship of govern
ments; it is solely and simply a good
fellowship movement among the pe0
pie who speak the tongue that Shake
speare spake."
The aim Of the promoters, American
and British. is that no citizen Of the
English-speaking world should ever
feel lonely again after the war. that no
should ever want a friend. and that no
Britisher should ever want one In the
great republic. They plan 10 make
these peoples better known to each
other in various ways-by the inter
change of visits, by correspondence. by
the printed word, by lectures. by an
interchange of professors and preach
ers by sporting contests and by every
other possible means.

other day that III only an interchange
of 100000 young men from our leading

you that it is needless to leave your

a grand array of goods for the hold

STATE DRESS ECONOMY /.
IS URGED IN ENGL AND
U. $. Action on Navy Uniforms
Cited as Worthy Of Imitation.
Cost Back of Salary Plea.

LONDON, October 9 Correspond
ence of the Associated Pressl.-The
example set by the United States gov
ernment in disseminating several va
rieties of Navy uniforms and dress
is being cited as worthy of imitation
by agitators who favor economy in
state dress. Numerous requests made
recently by court officials for in
creased salaries are attributed by
these agftators to greatly heightened
costs Of the ceremonial attire with
which they must outfit themselves be-
fore accepting Office.
The cost Of court dress for any
one attending one OF the kings levees
can scarcely be less than 1926. A
lord lieutenant's ceremonial dress
with its royal red swallowtail coat
silver buttons and lace embroidery
brings a tailor's bill of at least $3.50.
The robe of the lord chancellor is
valued at $1.000-it is gorgeous
affair Of ermine and silk. The most
expensive of all Is the Official garh
of the earl marshal. It contains !, zoo
yards of gold embroidery and is
worth approximately $1,150.

with each other in displaying the
latest fashions in dr0s. The high
est amount paid to the winner OF a
race is that to the winner OF the
Derby. amounting to $4,000.
There is more betting on horse
racing than on any other sport. The
English law is peculiar on that point.
Betting on the race course is strictly
legal. but the passing of betting slips
in the streets is considered a serious
offense. Yet one may legally place
bets by calling up a bookmaker on
any telephone, or by sending name OF
the horse fancied by telegram or
through the post. This anomaly,
therefore. occurs:
A betting slip. with a horses name
and an amount of money mentioned.
il handed to a bookmaker in the
street is an ofYense punishable by i'm
prisonment. Yet a telegram to the
same bookmaker and containing the
same wording handed in at a post
Office is a perfectly legal undertaking
and, incidentally, one which is largely
followed.

WAR ON EXHAUST WHISTLES
AND OPEN CUT-OUTS IS PLAN
Traffic Squad Reminded by Capt. Headley
That These O@enses Should Be
Dealt With In Court.

Why it is that man could violate
police regulation last Monday night
without molestation is a police prob
lem too hard for the editor of the
Journal to solve. On Wednesday
however. after the chiefs order had
was made to feel the force of the
law. as should have been the case any
and every day prior to the issuance
of the order since the law or ordi.
nance was created.
rs it possible that the force is clegged
with star gazers-men who look 80
high that they cannot see what is 60
ing on under their very noses? This
is about the only answer to the prob
lem here which can be given. The sug-
gestion is kindly made that it would
be we'll for the force to stop looking
so high. and to bring their eyes back
to earth for the purpose of observing
what is going on Immediately around
them. Astronomers are not needed in
the police department.
"Keep Traffic Moving"
The members of the squad were also
instructed not to hold traffic too long.
Forty seconds should be the limit, they
were told by Capt. Headley. BE alert

beyond the building line, SO as to block
the way of pedestrians at cross walks
make him turn to the right in order to
remove such obstruction. The pedes-
trian has the right Of way at cross
walks and motorists should not block
their path.
Instructions as to how to proceed on
arrival at court in preparing tho case
for the corporation counsel and how to
conduct case before a court were also
discussed by Capt. Headley. Close at
tention to duty, courteous treatment

Occurs to Every Chief of Police"
Article Read by Captain.
The article was as follows:
"Why is it necessary for the chief
of police to issue an order to the cap
tains to enforce laws and ordinances,
particularly in reference to traffic vio-
lations?
working under new traffic order,
issued by Chief O'Brien. the depart
ment made 1877 arrests for traffic vio-
lations in compliance with the order
in one day. Yet it is clear that these
same traffic viAlators could probably
have been arrested a day prior to the
order going into effect, or any other
day. as a matter of fact, but it took
an order from the chief to spur the
men up to the point Of doing this duty.
That is the mystery.
why was this order necessary?
And why does the department respond
spasmodically to orders from the
chief. generally speaking. And then
relax in their efforts. making another
order necessary from time to time?
why should the chief of police, with
ali his responsibilities. be compelled.
iE order to get results, to do the
thinking for the captains and the rest
of the force? A law is a law and an
crdinance>is an ordinance. The cap

them are supposed to know the law.

Concentration of government funds
or roads of national Importance and
adequate provisions for their main
tenance, is a development which is
sorely needed in the western country,
according to T. ]. Ehrhart. state
highway commissioner of Colorado.
So acute has the situation become
under the operation Of the present
federal aid act that it is Mr.. Ehr-
hart's opinion that continuance of
the present policy will find Colorado
state highways rapidly deteriorating
from enforced neglect. with here and
there detached stretches Of we'll i'm
proved roads. which will exaggerate
the condition of the many miles of
highways poorly maintained.
THE federal aid program in 1919

said Mr.. Ehrhart. These have a to-
tai mileage of ss2, and total cost es-
Inmates $5.425.000. SO per cent of
which will be required from state
funds, which will absorb every avail
able dollar. There are approximately
5000 miles of state highways and, de-
ducting the mileage to be improved
under federal aid, there will remain
7.117 miles of state roads without
financial provision for construction or
proper maintenance.
