the wrong pertains. one is inclined to interest.
 X typical case is the housing mat ter. When one sees the necessity of moving from the place where one lives. and can find no other suitable for the purpose. all energy is directed toward aiding the cause that will pre- vent such occurrences. As soon as a rent" is found other more pressing matters drive the housing difficulty out of ones scheme of things.
 This should not be the case. Those who have suffered from a general wrong. and have at last been relieved. should continue their interest in it that others may not suffer as have they. They should give the advantage to the cause just as heartily as be- fore. Others experience never teach es one. Your own experience will enable you to put yourself in others places, and to them you should give the benefit of that experience.
 Remember the Bergdolls and give Secret Service men any aid in your power to make the government roundup" clean. The men svho fought deserve it.; the men who worked deserve it-and the men who died.

KEEP MEMORY ALIVE.

The surrender of the other" Bcrrdoll. SO soon after his half brother made his spectacular escape. serves as n reminder. Many had been angered hy the ridiculous story told by the latter through which he had effected that escape. and many had cried out for his immediate capture.
 Then the matter rather dropped from the public mind. Now comes the capitulation of another Bergdoll. and the public Is awakened again. A continuance of intense interest by the public is most wise in cases such as these. It ydtalize the energies of those whose duty it is to apprehcnd the criminal. and 1t allows them no peace of mind until they have accom- plished their purpose.
 Moreover it gives added interest to the determination of the United States. just announced, to make a great roundup of all the slackers and dCserters and evaders of the recent war When this activity is mentioned. or aid asked in the matter of giving Information. one Is more inclined 10 exert oneself when one remembers RcrgdolI and his brother.
 May all the cvaders he caught and | punished. and may the Bergdolls | both receive what Is due them. They are notorious cases and serve their purpose in keeping alive the pursuit of the thousands of others. no worse. perhaps than they. hut who had not the means to make their escape and evasion easy.
 The necessity for keeping awake the public mind goes farther than this. one becomes intensely interest cd in a matter which Is wrong. just as long as that matter is a persona one. As long as the wrong affects one. and one is a sufferer from 1t one is' alL eagerness and energy ir helping to right it. When one hal placed oneself in a comfortable post

statute to fix traffic routes. If does not fix traffic routes but delegates that power to the Board of Police Commissioners"
 Plainly. by implication therefore. the decision holds that If the ordi- nance had fixed the routes. even to the extent of keeping the jitneys off the streets on which lie tracks of the Connecticut company, it would have been held valid.
 There lies tn this decision a tenn porary relief for the titneymen of Bridgeport and warning that they can legally and constitutionally be driven from the streets of that city.
 This interpretation of the decision is here given for the purpose of in- forming interested persons who may bc misled by others on the question decided. There IS no desire here to argue the cause of the Connecticut company. The desire is to warn the titneymcn. whose vehicles many of us patronizc. that the decision Is rather against them than for them and that 1t would he we'll to prepare for the afiirmance of this Judgment.

PROHIBITION INDICTED.

Another indictment against prohibit ton has been found. The travelin< ' salesman. the drummer" says it has killed tho "parlor story"
 Of course everyone knows the par Tor story" is one which Is supposed to provoke laughter. sometimes blushins laughter. for the tale is apt to be that is slightly questionable. One hearing it Is apt to remark. if one is properly orthodox or bromidish. This is no place for a minister's son."
 A certain travelling salesman, after q five months trip on the road, de- ciares that he heard but one new story, and lamented the fact. The barroom was the cradle of such tales. and with the disappearance of the barroom this character of stories died.
 = is this an indictment? 1S 1t not possible that with the loss of this alleged humor there will be re- turn to the art of conversation. now in It's death throes. Addison and Swift. those who gathered in the old coffee houses or England. although they were not always governed hy the delicacy of language of today. did not have to resort to 'parIor stories" to pass pleasantly the many hours they spent about tho meeting table.
 Necessity has N lot to do with in- vention. and it is believed that there lies within the brain of every intelli- gent mao and woman latent possi- biltties for conversation that would grow and flourish were the owners attention fixed upon them. Surely travcling men have ready rcpartec and surely there Is humor enough In tho world to go round without n re- sort to that which may offend the scnaibilitics Of the cultured.
 Good stories are admirable things. They tend to keep the smile ot energy and efficiency at work--a smile which does much toward improving produc- ton. It is to be hoped that the pro- verbal teller of stories. the drum mer." will use part of his mental! energy toward remembering and repeating stories. as in the past. even though they arc not tainted with the odor of the dead barroom.

\ QUESTION OR TWO.

Editor Herald:
 Having read that sum of about Sl.0OO has been or IS about to be spent for siEnboards to he used for the purpose of diverting motor traffic away from the center of our city, the query comes: "Is this wisdom 9" It seems to me that people passing through our city would leave many thousands of dollars with our mer- chants. for food. clothing. ice cream, soda. candy. fruit. cigars. oil. gas. repairs, auto parts and would know that we are q real live city. Other cities Cndcavor to draw attention, their location. their beauties re- sources, merchants and residential desirability, are we trying to hide our light under a bushcl? Have we grown enough Do we want travel worn highways to and from our city or do we want the grass to grow on our streets. Why are we hiding?
 Another question. M-. Editor: When was the 'Cut out law repealed? The day and night is made hfdeous with wide open "cut-outs." without neces- sity and without protest. Are we going backward in all things?
