WHERE SHALL CHILDREN co?

TEEP your children off the streets This,
~ briefly, Is the recommendation for
parents embodied IN report relative to
street accidents written for Superintendent
Mills by Captain Hearn, head of the acci
dent prevention division of the Police
Bureau.
Little boys and girls haven't wings. They
cannot get even to n playground. If play
ground happens to be anywhere near. with
out using the streets. Nor can they go TO
school or the grocery or the movies unless
they use the common highway. If all chill
dren were locked safely indoors none would
be hurt by motors. That is certain. But
so long as cities are organized in their
present forms it would be better and wiser
to make the streets safe than to deny chill
dren fresh air and exercise.
There are streets and streets. Some of
them are so heavily travelled that they are
unsafe for children. But most residential
streets might be made safe for children to
play in were 1t not for the occasional auto
mobile speed fiend. A larger force of traffic
policemen would make it unnecessary for
the police to suggest something like life

THE SOURCE OF NARCOTICS

nR. CHARLES L. BRICKER, the police
~ surgeon who has been observing all
drug victims taken in recent raids, goes
courageously and intelligently TO the heart
rS the question presented by these arrests
in reminding the Courts and the officials Of
the Police Bureau that the scourge of mar
co.ics cannot be dealt with properly unless
way is found to restrict or regulate the
manufacture and sale of the various chem
icals broadly classified as dope
II there were nothing in the prohibition
laws to prevent the distilleries from turn
ing out whisky In unlimited quantities the
volstead act would seem even more farcicaI
than II is in operation. Yet the agencies
OF law which are moving to limit the
improper use of drugs are confronted wita
q system of unregulated production which
always will make their work more or less
futile. What the Harrison Drug Act was
intended to do for the country, State laws

menace to public health and morals.

AN INTERCHANGE OF COURTESY

An INSTRUCTIVE sense of courtesy
"A inherited perhaps from one of the
courtliest OF nations-the mother country
of Spnn-seems to have been irresistibly
operative aboard a little Mexican gunboat
when the great battleship Maryland carry
ing Secretary Hughes and the American
commission to the Brazilian Centennial
steamed into the majestic hnrbor of Rio de
Janeiro on Tuesday morning.
In an instant good manners took refresh
ing precedence over Mexican American con-
troversies and reduced at least to temporary
insignifcance the fact that the United
States has not yet formally recognized the
Government Of it's Southern neighbor.
The diminutive unit of the Mexican
Navy saluted Justify. The Maryland doomed
an answering compliment Mr.. Hughes 1t
is said, urged Admiral Jones to waive tech
nical considerations of diplomacy. Both
vessels, explained the Secretary of State,
were in a friendly harbor. 1t was clear
that the Mexican commander had acted upon
en- impulse of unaffected good will.
1t is clear also that Mexican American
relations are not going to suffer by reason
of reciprocal cvilities. Mexico and indeed
other Latin American nations have often
been lamentably misunderstood in northern
latitudes. Mr.. Hughes supplied n needed
standing Of an ingenious act is precisely
the sort of thing to expedite and establish
the long delayed accord. 1t was the kind

bly, by Bruce Bielaski, who reported the
capital of that republic as a hotbed of boil
shevism.
On investigation 1t has been shown that
it is the custom of meat shop and pulque
saloon proprietors in Mexico City to adver.
tise their wares by red flags. Some Amer
leans who have beheld the display have been
startled quite as much as are perhaps some
| foreigners passing by auction salesrooms In
| our own country.
Better than most Of his countrymen, Mr..
Hughes realizes the nature of the Mexican
problem. 1t is therefore not surprising to
note that he returns amenity for amenity.

A RIOT OF BAD MANNERS

THE State Of Minnesota and Its people,
/ and not Vice President Coolidge, were
permanently humiliated yesterday by the
almost incredibly bad manners of a multi
tude that hooted and booed when Mr.. Cool
idre began to deliver an address at a fair
in Minneapolis and became so disorderly
that the address was left unfinished.
There is no precedent that we can call to
mind of similar dscourtesy to an important
representative of the Government. If Mr..
Coolidge had been fippant, had he been dis
nosed TO hatter and amuse the crowd at tho
fair or to indulge In the light headed jazz
with which stump orators fascinate the
average crowd Of qualified electors in the
United States, he would doubtless have been
opplauded and asked to 60 on. 1t was the
Vico Presidents misfortune to feel and
talk seriously about serious issues. So folk
rvbo we're fairly representative Of the larger
class that holds the destiny Of the Nation in
,ts keeping appears to have been bored.
To the Governor Of the State and the
,awspapers falls the difficult job OF apolo-
s,zinr for the insult offered wantoniy to
the vice presidential Office. 1t is job that
. lot of people will have to sweat over for
q long time to come. And 1t may be even
,oryer time before President or Vice Pres
dent Of the United States consents to b.

received In n community that seems to have
forgotten not only the rules Of reason. but
the rules Of common courtesy to strangers
within its gates.
Mr.. Coolidge Is not a spellbinder. and
even as an after dinner speaker he doesn't
shine. But he was the guest Of the state
and the representative Of the President ot
the United States. 1t was no crowd OF
radicals that interrupted him and bawled
for the horse races instead. 1t was n gath
ering of average voters, who in such seri-
GUS moments as they have. wonder why the
bosses and leaders Of political parties do
not take them seriously or wish to be guide'i
by their opinions and desires.

STREET TUNNELS

WHILE the Council is considering the
" regulation of permits for private tunnels
under streets connecting buildings of busi-
ness houses on two sides of the same street
and private bridges built for the same pur-
pose it ought to lay down general rules.
The ideal plan would be the passage of n
general ordinance empowering the Director
of Public Works to issue permits and TO
assess such charges as might be provided in
the ordinance.
Then any business man who wished TO
make n physical connection over or under
the street between two of his buildings
would have only to present his case to an
executive officer. That officer would make
In examination of the property and if there
were no valid public reason for denying the
permit would issue it. This would simplify
matters both for the City Council and for
the business men, and it would safeguard
all public interests.

PINcHoT'S PROGRESS

A GAINST Mr.. Pinchot the machine
"A politicians of the State are raising Il
typical cry. HE is helping the Demo
Gratis they say. This is not a primary
contest 1t is n contest of Republicans for
an election and campaign against the
Democratic candidates. Pinchot is talking
as If It were a campaign of Republicans
against Republicans. He is saying too many
ugly things against members Of his party
and against the organizations which must
help him to get elected !"
Oddly enough, Democratic leaders, includ-
ing Mr.. McSparran, take a similar view Of
the matter. They glcat openly when the
truth, as Pinch0t continues to tell it, seems
unfavorable to the Republicanism Of the
State. The fact of the matter is. of course.
that there Is a conflict within the Repub-
Hcan Party and it is a conflict between the
decent element in the party and those who
want to render Pinchot helpless after his
election, and perpetunte vice and graft and
general political devilment through corrupt
control of the Legislature.
Pinchot is not only carrying on a cam
paign for votes: he is directing cam
puign of education. His appeal is frankly
intended to stimulate the better element in
his party TO action and to obtain the CO.
operation of the inactive voters, who. II they
were to turn out to the polls, could clean
up the Republican organization and lengthen
sts life in Pennsylvanja.
This was apparent again yesterday in
Mr.. Pinchot's speech to farmers at Center
Hail. which may be said to have formally
opened his campaign for election. He
knows that If the unorganized voter vii!
think and vote the organizations which
abuse power will have to behave or go out

Registration places in many of the diyi.
sions throughout Philadelphia presented
yesterday scenes of the most uninspiring
apathy. Political enthusiasm, Jealous con-
cern for the right of franchise, has not
lasted over summer.
1t Is virtually a foregone conclusion that
Clifford Pinchot will be elected Governor of
Pennsylvania. Acceptance of this assump-
tion is without doubt largely responsible for
the slim registration on the first of three
days set aside for the work.
AS an excuse for shirking the responsi.
bilitics of citizenship the contention Is char.
acteristic. Politically speaking. It is
immoral and indefensibe. implying, as il
does, regard for the privilege of franchise
only when fight is in progress.
Registration slackers this year seem to
have ignored the fact that State Senators
and Representatives will be elected this
autumn. 1t is typical of the delinquents
to neglect the obligations of franchise and
Inter to complain bitterly over the compost
ton of Congress.
There Is no kicker like the man or
woman who has done nothing to prevent the
situation, which, when irremediable, is
viewed with alarm.
Two more registration days are in pros
pect. September 10 and October Z. This is
n patient system of government, and what
ever it's defects, it cannot be said to treat
the Indifferent elector with anything but
the most generous consideration. 1t may be
wondered sometimes whether such citizen
is really worth all the attention received.
