Mr. ElrOd article follows:
Practically any study Of motor club
must go back to the basic principle of
organization. If the principle has been
tried and found faulty there would be
room for doubt about its application to
the motor car owners of any given COM
munity. II the application Of the prin-
ciple has proved beneficial, then the basic
idea may be accepted and consideration
Started from there.
CAR OWNER MUST
CONSIDER OTHERS
THE individual motor car owner must
consider his relationship to his brother
motorists. his community and his State

statement that the automobile is here to
stay, whether used for pleasure or bust
ness. Therefore, 1t Is Inevitable that the
drivers will find similar problems and
that they must cooperate In an effort to
solve them.
Suppose the first consideration is the
relationship between this mutual associ-
alton and the community. The very fact
of the organizations speaks well for the
spirit of the community because dead
towns do not have live organizations.
This benefit, however, is indirect. The
direct benefits are as easily discovered.
In any community the local motor club
stands for hospitality and fair treatment
to the visiting motorist- 1t stands for
the honest enforcement Of laws relating
to motor driven vehicles and the manner
in which the individual operates them.
It becomes sponsor for permanently i'm
proved highways; It marks the roads so
that the stranger never is in doubt; 1t
aids In the solution Of traffic problems;
If cooperates with the officials to curb
the reckless driver and is as quick to
fight the fee hunting constable who es-
tabHshes speed traps and lies in walt
for the more technical violator.
INFLUENCE
FAR REACHING.
The influence Of such an organization
cannot be otherwise than far reaching.
It numbers among its officials and MEM
hers the best people in the community.
The very character Of its members and
the nature OF their private business is
such that It commands deserved respect
at the outset. Consequently its infu-
ence becomes both tangible and intangi-
bic. One of the tangible results of the
motor clubs work is that Of bringing
the country and the city closer together.
Highways that are passable throughout
the year will do this and nothing else
will. Thus the producer and the con-
sumer are brought into closer relation

ship than ever before; the distance to
market Is lessened and the public is
benefited, whether 1t ia has cooperated
with the motor club or not. The i'm
provements obtained by the motor club
are of a permanent character. Better
roads Increase the value or aputting prop
erty. The man who never rode in an
automobile Is directly benefited If his
property is near a road that a motor
club has caused to be improved.

II were not for the popularity OF the
plan among the theorists he would not
have had the courage to make the sug.
gestion. N
II is not so popular among practical
men. They understand that the hous1
ing shortage is due to the virtual ces-
sation of building during the war and
to the high prices Of all material and
labor at the present time. Investors
do not see the way to get an assured
income from money put in houses for
rent. Good prices can te secured from
tenants today, but there is a confident
hope that in one or two years the cost
Of building will have fallen to such an
extent that the houses built this year
will seek in vain for tenants that will
pay any income on what the buildings
cost.
Practical men also recall that it costs
builder to erect a building, and they
realize that the plan of publicly owned
houses involves in the long run gift to
the occupants of the houses Of the diff
ference between fair return Of the
great investment and fair return on
the investment in property built under
better conditions by private landlords.
The politicians of Rome used to ap.
pease the multitude by giving them
bread and the circus. 1t is no different
for modern American politicians to plan
to appease the homeless Ly giving them
houses at public expense.

BREAD AND THE CIRCUS

COCIAL reformers have for years
~ been urging the adoption in the
United States of the British plan for
meeting a housing shortage. British
municipalities build houses for the
working men and rent them. They
clear out old tenements open new
streets in the district and build modern
structures. This seems to be simpler
than condemning the insanitary build
Ings and forcing the owners to remove
them.
The housing shortage in New York
has led the president of the borough Of
Manhattan to urge Governor Smith to
eall a special session of the Legislature
tor the passage of a constitutional
amendment which will permit the cities
Of the state to build houses and apart
ments. Such an amendment was urged
on the Legislature during its regular
session, but adjournment came before it
sTas acted on.

A HEALTH LESSON HEEDED

1T HAS been strongly hinted, if not
i proved, that the arrival of the infu-
enza plague in this country in 1918
was FASTENED by indifferent quarantine
inspection. That the authorities are
taking fewer chances today is illustrated
by their reluctance this week to permit
the travellers on the Cunard liner I'm
perator to land without a rigid exam
ination of the steerage passengers.
Laxity of the French medical staff in
Cherbourg, when the vessel sailed for
America, Is given as the reason for the
twenty four hours delay off Staten Is
land. Particular search was made for
Indications of typhus fever, now viru q.
lent in some parts of Europe.
Evidences have been multiplying OF
late that the medical inspection is care
lessly undertaken abroad. Many immi-
grants, especially those haiing from
Mediterranean countries, where con-
tagious diseases of the eye prevail, have
been ordered sent home. The scrutiny
on this side of the water is we'll worth
while and first cabin passengers who
chsfe because their landing is postponed
will be wise in seasoning their irrita-
ton with a little philosophical graft
tude.
1t would be criminal at this day to
disregard the tragic lesson Of the "fu. "

dents Of the various South and Central

that the cordial relations now existing
between the Latin American nations

have n new lease Of life because some
Of the governments in Europe were not
content to let them disappear, as they
we're bound to disappear before long, In
the gradual process Of democratic evo-
luton.
When Colonel House implies that all
plans made at Paris in the interest OF

principles are endangered by the Rus
sian advance he presents to America

terests may be thrust temporarily into
the background For the time being we
are merely spectators at a game in
which we invested very heavily. The
decisions are left to others. q
Americas policy toward Russia,
harshly questioned in some quarters,
has been consistent and disinterested.
Unlike some Of the European govern
ments we registered no claims against
the Russian people. We asked for
nothing. Washington contepded very
properly that there was no democracy,
no equality, no freedom, no common
Justice under the Moscow government
and that there was, instead, new and
revolving sort Of tyranny maintained
by a minority accidentally in power.
That view is sustained by the record
of all observers in Russia. The British
Labor party's official delegation of in
vestigators found the masses in slavery
and a rising tide Of anti Bolshevist
feeling even among the peasants. Even
Emma Goldman was moved, after an
involuntary experience with the soviets,
to reject and denounce their theories Of
administration. No impartial student
Of sovietism has survived direct contacts
with the Lenine regime without exper-
iencing complete disillusionment.
The refusal of the United States Gov
ernment to deal with Lenine was In
every way consistent with a regard for
the principles of free government and
the rights Of the Russian majority.
however, Mr.. Wilson's ad-
supported the destructive
blockade of Russia, which,
viewed from any angle, appears to have
been inspired by commercial rather
than by moral or ethical concerns. Be-
cause of that blockade all Russians,
men, women and children, non Bolshe-
visit as we'll as Bolshevist, were denied
food, medicines, hospital supplies and
the materials necessary for industrial
and agricultural development.
To starve out an erratic minority the
Allies we're willing to put intolerable
pressure upon a whole nation.
That scheme was doomed to fail and
it has failed.

THE HUMAN SCRAP HEAP

THE determination of the Friends al
i their general conference in Cape
May to devote themselves to prison re-
form so that in our efforts to prevent
crime we should not enlarge the human
scrap heap is just what is to be ex :
7 pected of the kind of people attending
the conference.
They feel a grave concern over our
ineffective prison methods. They desire
that the treatment Of law breakers
should be so conducted as to restore the
offender to his place among the decent
citizens. Many other persons have the
same desire. 1t found expression in
the first constitution Of Indiana. which
directed that the criminal laws should
be framed for the purpose of reforming
the criminal. But many years have
passed since this constitution was
adopted and we have not made very fast
progress in the desired direction.
If the local Friends will begin their
study of prison reform by an exami-
nation Of the conditions that prevail
right here in Philadelphia they may be
able to hasten the day when a more in
telligent treatment of the law breaker

EUGENlE'S TRIUMPH

THE ex Empress Eugene expressly
l. stated that she would leave no me-
moirs or autobiography. Posterity is
thus deprived of an intimate insight into
what was actually the most significant
portion of her extraordinary life.
The imperial period was feverish,
melodramatic, flashy, artificial, closing
with a crash of reality so overwhelming
that for years it was difficult to COM
prehend clearly the role she played and
to separate the whirl Of events into
which she was drawn from those which
she dominated.
France quickly acquired the habit Of
blaming Eugene for most of the ills
arising from the disastrous war with
Prussia. Unquestionably neither by
temperament nor training was she fitted
to interfere in matters Of state.
She was, however, merely factor in
the long series contributing to the de-
bacle. Bismarck adroitly played his
sinister role. The French nation itself
during the fifties and sixties of the last
century was the victim Of frequent
and perilous delusions. But Eugene

venient scapegoat.
The sober Judgment Of history is un-
likely to result in either q wholesale
whitewashing or an utter condemnation
of the once dazzling empress. The half
century of semiobscurity into which she
was plunged necessarily compels a re-
vision Of estimates. In the absence of
the human document which Eugenie
denied the world, the story will be
pieced together by externals.
Nearly all Of them are touching. The
dignity and taste with which she bore
herself until the land from which she
fed in terror came to tolerate her re-
turn visits and to regard her presence
with a kind Of tender indifference
testify to a fine quality of soul and a
depth of character unsuspected in the
glittering days.
The story Of the Partisan gendarmes,
who diScreetly averted their gaze as she
plucked flowers in the Tuileries gardens,
where once her superb imperial resi-
dence had stood, crystallizes in a way
AL entire volume of history. 1t is to be
hoped there were eycwitnesses of her
first view of the Strasbourg monument,
divested at last of its mourning in the
hour of Frances triumph.
Poetic justice was served there. The
feeling that it ultimately prevailed in a
career that was effectively ill starred
furnishes the keynote to her singular
life drama. She beheld the course of
history which covered egotistic mon
archical rule with condign disrepute.
Dying at the great age of ninety four
in the heart Of her native Spain it is
probable that Eugene had few fears for
this indictment, She herself had spir-
itually survived the opening blow. There
was victory here Of the sincere type.
