c!aims-that OF faulty boxes or un-
locked boxes-touches the real point
at issue.
The simple truth of the matter is
that the postal service is not rendering
to the millions of apartment house
dwellers throughout the country the
service to which they are entitled and
which it gives to other residents Of
cities and towns. 1t is admitted by
postal experts that delivery to indi-
vidual apartments, from floor to floor,
would perhaps cost less than delivery
to the same number of private resi-
dences along the block. That the total
cost of furnishing this service would
be large is unquestioned. but the
postal service should be able to solve
this problem. 1t is of more immediate
necessity than some other postal needs
which ore being agitated at this time,
and one more closely touching the
pride of the service.

Thomas R. Marshall.

In his contribution to last Sundays
Star the former Vice President spoke
of his crowded mail" There are let
Iters from many sources about many
0hings. He mentions one from a SOL
dier. Another was written by clergy.
man. Still another came from India.
All had reference to current public
questions.
What does this show? Why. what
else but that MIR. Marshall is still in
the picture? "A dead one" is not thus
borne in mind. Men do not trouble to
give their views to politician on the
shelf. or to seek his views.
|. Well. why should Mr.. Marshall be
on the shelf? He is not carrying
weight for age. He has not lost his
personal popularity. After eight years
in the vice presidency, half Of them
spent in times of great turbulence. he
quilted office we'll esteemed by every.
body, not alone for the way in which
he had carried himself as the Senate s
presiding officer, but for the geniality
and good nature he had shown as
man and brother.
Moreover, Indiana is still an i'm
portant state in presidential calcula-
tions, and Mr.. Marshall still halls from
Indiana. Indeed. he is now. as in 1912
when first nominated for Vice Presi.
dent. the leading democrat in the state.
He is the only Hoosier democrat who
now commands serious national atten-
ton.
Mr.. Marshall has several times dis
claimed any thought of the presi-
dency. and last year refused to permi:
his friends to boom him for the San
Francisco nomination. Still. as demo.
Gratis here and there are thinking
about him, and writing to him, and
rating him as party asset, he is not
to be counted out of the running. The
democracy is not so rich in presiden-
tial timber that this sturdy growth
from the Wabash can be ignored in
the casting up of the party's resources
for as momentous struggle as that
of 1924 promises to he.

Catching Speeders.

One of the judges of the Police
Court has in recent rulings sought to
discourage the practice Of policemen
laying traps" for lawbreakers, in
stead of endeavoring to prevent
breaches Of the law by open appear
ance and warnings. A motor cycle
traffic policeman who hailed a speeder
to court after catching him from am
bush was told that the proper way to
enforce the rules is to appear plainly
in view of the road users and thus TO
discourage any disposition to rush be-
yond the speed limit. The defendant
was released on personal bonds.
Undoubtedly prevention is better
than punishment. The policeman who
makes no cases in court because there
are no violations of law in his range
of action is the best policeman, not
necessarily he who brings into court
numerous violators. The object of a
police force is to preserve order. In
the case of speeders. however, it is
obvious that the policeman must pro-
ceed on the assumption that the rae
ing motorist will break the law if he
thinks he can "get away with it." 1t
is impossible to patrol every foot of
the roads. The practical way Of en-
forcement is to catch as many rule
breakers as possible and make them
suffer as examples.
If speed traps" are to be banned by
court action much of the efficiency of
the motor cycle guardians of the high
ways will be destroyed. 1t should real.
ly matter nothing to the court whether
a rule-breaker knew there was po-
liceman within range or not. In1eed,
the apparent absence of the policeman
should never be rated as an excuse for
speeding, in the mind Of the motorist
If this ruling is to be carried to its
logical conclusion, in order to make
the speed rules effective the police
force must be trebled or quadrupled.

The President and Alaska.

The President again expresses a de-
sire to visit the Pacific coast and
Alaska. He had such a journey in
mind for last summer, but was forced
to abandon it on account of public
duties here at headquarters. Congress
did not show the speed expected. and
sat all through the summer.
This second plan depends on Con-
gress. If the tables on Capitol Hill
can be cleared by early summer the
President will be able to go. Other
wise, not. A trip to Alaska for OBJ
servation purposes calls for summer
weather.
Congress then must hustle if the
President is to be accommodated. The
routine alone will be heavy, and much
more than the routine awaits atten-
ton. Six months separate us from
early summer, and a fortnight Of the
time will probably be set aside for the
Christmas holidays.
A trip across the continent by the
President next year would operate as
good party investment. The people
would turn out in large numbers in
his honor, and speeches would be in
evitable. The people would demand
them, and the President could not we'll
decline. He speaks so well, and
themes would be so abundant. that he
would naturally and easily comply.
The effect on November would be so
much to the good. The republicans
want to control the next Congress,
both for the sake of their Legislative
program and for the prestige the vic
tory would give them for 1924, and the
west and the northwest are intimate
ly in their calculations.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Best of the Bargain.

Our ancestors in days gone by
Unto these wooded shores drew nigh,
And gained possessions wide and long
For just a trinket or song.
For Injuns, sometimes fierce and wild,
In trade were simple as a child.
1 saw group of children gay
Assembled for holiday.
They seemed like Injuns, wild and free
So trustful in their honest glee.
The older, wiser folks drew near
With toys and sweets to give them
cheer.
And in return these youngsters gay
Offered their laughter and their play
And wakened hearts whose pulse grew
Unto the youth Of long ago.
These little Injuns freely give
The best rewards for which we live;
The precious treasure of a smile
And gratitude all free from guile
To us these priceless things belong
For just trinket or song!

The Children of Armenia.

For 1000 years the people Of Ar.
menia have followed the teachings of
Christ, preserving devotedly their faith
against oppression and cruelty and
fanatical tyranny. Today they are all
but an exterminated people. After u
long series of persecution by the Mos.
lens and by savage masters preceding
the followers Of Mohammed came the
great war, in which they were caught
as in wise and terribly crushed. To.
day merely the remnants of this once
splendid nation are left, objects of
charity of more fortunate peoples, and
the special charges Of Americans, who
have organized for their succor
An appeal for more funds has been
issued by the Near East Relief, which
has this great work of succor in
charge, and it is peculiarly appropriate
to the Christmas time. For whatever
is given to aid the people of Armenia
is given in His name for whom they
have so sorely suffered.
The problem in Armenia is to save
the children. For their rescue or.
phanages have been established. Every
one Of them is overcrowded. The par.
ents of these children have been swept
away by disease and slaughter. These
little ones are practically the survivors
of the race. The murderers of the Ar.
menians slew not only the men, but
many of the women as well. In some
places they tried to exterminate the
children also. In the papers of Talaat
Pasha. who was killed in Berlin by an
Armenian. have been found instruc-
tions sent from Constantinople to
Turkish commanders in Armenia
plainly limiting at the slaughter of the
little ones in order to prevent the re-
growth of the Armenian people.
These orphanages maintained by the
Near East Relief are the main hope
for Armenia today. If funds fail they
will have to be closed. No one knows
what will then become of the Arme-
nian children. Facilities for the feed
ing of the people are meager., They
are desperately struggling to re-estab.
lish themselves industrially, but with
i'll success. The handicaps are for the
present too big. They must be helped
from without or they will perish.
Many appeals are made to the Amer
lean people for this and for that pur-
pose, for the suffering in various for
eign lands as we'll as for those at
home. The appeal for the Armenians.
however. must be needed unless this
land is to abandon to a miserable fate
a race for which there should be the
strongest sympathy and the keenest
pity, especially in this hour Of cele-
bration of the birth Of Him in whose
name these people have been martyred.

Apartment House Mail Again.

Discovery by the post office that
thieves are busy this Christmas time
fishing letters out of mail boxes in
apartment houses calls renewed atten-
tion to the matter of the delivery Of
mail to those who live in apartments.
The postal service takes pride in the
fact that it. plays no favorites," yet
the dweller in the lowliest hovel that
bears a street number gets individual
delivery Of mail at his door by car
rier, whereas the inhabitant Of the
most expensive apartment is not given
this service.
It is extremely difficult to make a
letter box that cannot be tampered
with, since If the opening is large
enough to put a letter in it is big
enough to allow letter to be ab-
stracted by one clever along this line.
It is true, also, that many persons
are in the habit Of leaving their letter
boxes unlocked. SO that they are
"sasy picking But neither Of these

The Country in Winter.

The man who lives in the suburbs
of great city has some advantages
over his strictly urban cousin. Per
1iaps he has some disadvantages, too
But when it comes to better oppor
tunity to observe the beauty Of a
winter morning there can be little
question that the country dweller has
precious possession which the city
man knows little about.
In the city the dawn of a bleak
gray, snowy morning, with its slip
perry asphalt, it's perhaps cold home
and the heartless alarm clock. whose
bell knows not remorse, has little OF
beauty about it. 1t is just another
disagreeable morning Of what bids
fair TO be slushy, disheartening day
IF one gets up early it is so dark
that the daylight is outshone by the
cheer to the scene.
But in the country it is different
Here are the great spaces, the wide
stretches of field and road which are
the heritage of every man. The oper
road, holding it's mystery, stretches
away like a velvet ribbon in the dark
If one goes to town early. it yet is
Light enough to put the realization o1
great things into the mind, the beauty
of the struggling dawn into the soul
the strength Of the snow-covered hill:
and fields into the blood.
Even the city man can play the
optimist, and take for his own, with
out money or price. the snow an6
the rain, the sunshine and sunset
which nature spreads in such prodiga
array over the world day after day
But he scarcely can hope to realize
to the full the beauty Of the worlt
in winter. He must go to the country
for that.
