Concerning Motor Trucks

MAYOR HYLAN, Of New York city, suggests wisely
VN regulation of motor trucks in cities.
The pavements will hold only certain weight
therefore the weight Of the load and the width Of wheels
must be regulated heavier load could be carried by the
use of trailers which double the value Of the truck
The width Of the load Of truck should be regulated for
city streets The spaces between tho sides Of street and
the curb based average width Of vehicles Loads
projecting too far either side obstruct traffic and call
for regulation
In heavily loaded truck speed must be regulated Of
course. It be done easily by mechanical device
without interfering with power And speed should be
regulated in accordance with weight Of the load carried
The one-ton load with proper brakes the truck
be stopped within few feet truck carrying five tons
or in the crowded street should be strictly
limited in speed for the public protection.
The motor truck is the greatest modern blessing to
business, manufacture and industry. .... -.
It has done for the horse to stop suffering
than all "cruelty to animals societies combined. 1t
made it possible to increase the pay of by doubling
and quadrupng the value of the drivers hours II.
Any unwse restriction that would hamper the the
construction of automobile trucks would be damaging
the entire community.
Wise regulation, the other hand protecting lfe ex-
tending and encouraging the of the automobile truck
~ill benefit all Of those concerned. -

THEY'RE HUMAN
William Anterior Du Puy

President Harding was not long ago. receiving
convention, then meeting in Washington. One
member on the delegation introduced himself as
Warren Gamsliel Mathews. a resident Of Day
ton. Ohio.
You the first have met who
wore my middle name" said the President. THE
original Gsmaliel was a man wise In his time and
worthy Of emulation"
whereupon I was curious to know OF the
original Gamaliel, and here is what found:
He was a Pharisee, a member of the council,
and Peter and john the disciples. were under
rest for healing and the teaching Of Jesus. And
Gannliel spoke in their behalf and secured their
release. And among the things he said were
these:
And now 1 say unto you. Refrain from these
men, and let them alone: for IL this counsel or
this work be Of men It will come to naught:
But IL 1t be Of God. ye cannot overthrow II;
lest haply be found even to fight against God.
And wondered II IL had ever occurred to the
President how aptly an advocate might turn, the
text of Gamael to fit a certain great problem
that arose after the we'll known conference at
Versailles.
When Rene viviani, the French statesman,

II Is intimated, not illosically that there was
difficulty in the bosom of the Hitchcock family
before this person who wanted to make date
with the statesman was finally isolated and sex
determined. . b..

Unjust Pay Reductions in
the Navy Yard

.
Tie employees of the Washington Navy Yard have
gathered most convincing facts and data that tie
reductions in pay that establishment not in keep
ing with the standard of living that the United States
their employer, should encourage. -
Tt may he wise that the Government join private
oyers bringing wages to the level of the cost Of v
ing but at time and nowhere should the United States
Government take the lead in forcing the wages of its
workers down to point below decent standard Of v
ing As the largest employer of labor in this country the
Federal Government should be the leader in insisting
that American citizens shall be paid LIVING WAGE.
And such wage is that will give American
chanc, technical clerical worker, his wife and chill
dren of the comforts that go to make life bearabe
and enjoyable. 49,
One branch of Government is busy collecting facts
of TIE cost of living; the decrease in all the
elements that make that COST the that yearly
required to maintain a worker and his small family in
decent conditions while another branch absolutely ignores
these facts and findings and slashes wages to point be-
low the standard of decency
Navy Yard employees have done well in taking the mat
ter direct to President HARDING. He will doubtless
place it before his Cabinet and render just decision
There to be dispute to the facts. On June
80 last the weekly pay to the five basic trades in the
Washington yard $4114. This included the bonus
which ended July l. On September 49, with the fiveday
week in effect, it will be 5000 per week.
June so the pay for workers in these trades was SO
cents per hour drops to 70 cents per hour Com
pared with the pay Of the classes of workers in p
vae employment the decrease is radical It is shown
that machinsts in the vicinity Of Washington are being
paid at least 50 cents per hour by employers while in
practically all the large cities the average pay for
chinists is SO cents per hour.
Il is admitted that this average pay may decline
what within another year. but there is little probability
that It will drop to anything like the scale established
by the board Of the Navy Department and approved
by Secretary DENNY.
The statistical branch Of the Government finds that the
cot Of living is today about 80 per cent above prewar
prices which had begun to press heavily upon tho gen
eral public The schedule Of pay fixed in the Navy
Yard increase Of only Is par cent above pre-war
days.
If one department Of Uncle Sam finds what Is weekly
pay sufficient for American worker and his family
live on then the other departments Of the same Govern
ment ought to be willing to pay somewhere near that
figure.

The Three
FrnteLLinis
A FTER all, our human nature de-
"a fies classification.
- Good and evil break out in

- Good and evil break out in
the most unexpected places.
The good deacon of sixty sudden
ly elopes with his stenographer Of
twenty, robs the trust funds and es-
says to dance the purple paths Of
dalliance with his rickety legs.
And the city thug performs prodi-
gies of courage in the trenches and
outdoes the saints in self-sacrifice.
Among the devotees of the most
passionate creeds of brotherhood we
discover amazing hardness Of heart,
while some ribald vagabond con-
POUNDS us with his gentleness and
humaneness. ..
1t is to wonder! u.s.
Hence let us sing the praises of
the three Fratellini brothers, clowns.
Montmartre is supposed to be the
lowest section of Paris.
There is the cafe of the Dead Rat,
and the dance hall of the Red Mill
and the Bohemian gathering place
called, the Agile Rabbit.
There life begins at midnight and
sleeps off its fumes during the
hours of sunshine.
There the visitors from Oshkosh
and Three Rivers go in conducted
parties, that when they get back
home they may boast of having seen
the naughtiest spot in the world.
But, there, as everywhere, live
many human beings who are facing
and solving the vexed problems of
existence as sincerely as the ladies
of the Chautauqua Circle in Erie.
Pennsylvania.
And there little girl was dying.
Her mother loyed her as fiercely as
mothers love everywhere, The
little home was dark with the APP
preaching calamity. You who have
never watched little girl die, who
have never seen the playful footsteps
falter and the childish laughter drop
to feverish complaint, cannot un-
derstand.
The three clowns heard of this.
The Fratellini brothers made the
gaping crowds laugh by their antics.
Their business was to cheer people
up, in their way.
So they went to cheer up the
little girl.
In the small room they cleared
away the medicine bottles and
danced. They made funny. mouths,
and said droll things. They fell
absurdly. They slapped their sides.
They wriggled and grimaced.
And the little girl was called back
from her companion Death: She
looked. She smiled. Then when one
funny fellow pumped down as an
other pulled a chair from under him,
she laughed.
MAMA, mama! Regarde! 1t is
droll!" she cried, and clapped her
thin hands.
So the Three Fratellinis toiled on
and squeaked and tumbled.
And Death himself grew ashamed,
and went away.
For the best part of the story is
that the little girl got we'll.
The Three Fratellinis have gone
to London with their "act."
Some day they re going to heaven.
for surely there are many little chill
dren there, and who could amuse
them better than the Three Fratel-

. the bench. 5. r-..
The truth is that so many judges
are merely the creatures OF politics
and finance Mat when one does
come into public view who is al
once versed in the fundamentals OF
our institutions and laws and fear
less in maintaining them, the effect
is startling. Instead of being the
usual thing, just and unafraid
Judge is a days wonder. ~
In saying this we have in mind
: the instructions given to the Sep
TENDER grand juries by Judge Null
queen, of New York, in which he
said:
* "You know the old axiom:
AN Englishman's home is his
castle What did that men?
It meant that every English
mans home was a sacred place
which could only be entered in
the way prescribed by law, by
invitation of an occupant, or in
the Kings name or in the regu-
lar way by lawful warrant for
search or seizure.
I'm modern times we are apt
to forget those conditions. But
that was one of the principles
that the founders of our Gov
eminent adhered to, that every
man is sacred and safe in his
" home, secure from invasion ex-
cept in the way prescribed by
law. =
mo man can say, I will 60

that something wrong is going

warrant, or q magistrate, and

he is held personally responsible.

vidual, ratified and affirmed by

That is all good law.
That is nothing but good law.
Judge Mulqueen should not stand
alone. Every judge should stand
with him.
1t is very bad symptom of civic
and judicial degeneracy when a
judge becomes prominent in public
eye because he is honest, fearless
