a Dangerous Mistake

Terrific pressure is certain to be
brought to bear on Governor-elect
Smith by soce Of his political as
sociates who desire above all things
TO see New York's transit problem
committed into the hands Of Mayor
Hylan and the Tammany Board Of
Estimate. These political associates
have reaped a rich profit from the
bus lines which were conducted by
Commissioner Whalen, with the sup
port and approval Of the Mayor and
the Board Of Estimate. To them it
would not matter how the transit
problem was solved, so long as the
method Of its solution provided them
with the pickings which supply the
reason for their taking part in
politics.
Mr.. Smith will stand or fall ac-
cording as he succeeds or fails in
his handling Of transit in this city.
It is the most important job he will
have to do as Governor.
The Tribune believes that a de-
cision by the six Republican Assem-
blymen from this city 10 act with
the Democrats in eonsenting 70 any
course Mr.. Smith chooses to adopt
with regard to transit would be a Sc
rious mistake. Suppose, for example,
that he yields TO Tammany pressure
and intrusts the building Of new
subways to Mr.. Hylan and to Mr..
Whalen. Disaster is certain to re-
suit, and in that disaster Mr.. Smith
is certain 10 share.
Il may be that Mr.. Smith has no
such plan. But the existence Of a
veto power, vested in the Republican
majority in the Assembly, may very
well help him more carefully 10 con-
slider the situation before he makes
any decision.
There is no doubt in the minds
Of many intelligent citizens that the
transit plan evolved by the present
commission is the only workable
method Of relieving an intolerable
situation, and that the members Of
this commission, having worked out
this plan. are better qualified than
any one else to put it into execution.
Inasmuch as these commissioners
are all New York men their control
Of transit is not violative Of the
principle Of home rule.
BY retaining the veto power the
Assembly majority can be Of great
assistance in preventing hasty
action by the Executive. Indeed
they can directly contribute to the
success Of his administration as faI
as New York City is concerned.
A shrewd and influential Demo
crat, very favorable to Mr. Smith
said Of his first administration: "1i
was a better administration because
Of the check upon il exerted by 9
Republican Legislature. There were
many times when AL was glad that
he was not allowed 20 do all the

The State Of Maine, pioneer in
the matter OF Prohibition, now re-
joices in a law forbidding the use
OF ice in drinks Of any sort. We
quote a news story which we find
under an Augusta date line:
Maine was out front among
all the states Of the Union in
its prohibition la~, whatever
else may have been said about
the enforcement thereof. II Is
evident that the Pine Tree Com
monwealth intends 10 set the
pace as long as possible in mat
ters having 20 do with drinks.
Beginning to-day, ice cannot
be legally served in or for any
drinks in the hotels or public
eating places Of any kind-not
even for water. Under the new
law the ice cannot legally come
in contact with the huid 70 be
drunk.
The keynote Of the law is
health. Officials point out that
there is danger Of the existence
Of harmful bacteria in the ice;
that, while some Of it is all
right, n great portion Of il
comes from rivers and streams
that are subject 20 pollution.

Good in Prison Diyersions

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter from John G, Purdie
on Sing Sing entertainments seems
typical Of a mistaken attitude toward
prison reform. Very little good
aecrues 70 society at large and con-
siderable harm TO the criminal from
the old-fashioned prison policy Of un-
relieved confinement.
il is only by education and develop
ment that criminals can be helped
and made over into better citizens.

comes from rivers and streams
that are subject TO pollution.
They say the reason is health
and they may believe what they
say, these officials. But we believe
that, sub-consciously, they are inlu-
enced by another fact the
tinkle Of ice in the glass must in
evitably recall TO the drinker the
old days when, even in Maine, The
highball was a genial possibility.
And with recollection comes yearn-
ing. And from yearning may grow
temptation 20 violate the laws Of
the land. There Is something jolly
about that tinkle of the ice against
the glass, and, as every reformer
knows, it is a sin to be jolly.
So far as the question Of harmful
bacteria is concerned bac-
terra need not exist in ice any more
than in water, if due care is exer-
cised TO manufacture the ice out Of
the right sort Of water.
We look forward to the glorious
day when the drinking Of water even
will be prohibited. II the drinking
Of water goes on unchecked it will
keep in the minds Of the people the
fact that it is possible to drink beer
and wine as we'll as water. But II
they are not allowed 20 drink water
they will gradually forget that it
is possible TO drink at all. Then,
and then only, will the world be
safe. II there are some millions
killed because they cannot adapt
themselves to this regimen, so much
the better: their deaths prove that
there was something inherently sin
full in their natures.
"The Ministers Monthly" a pub
lication issued at Chicago, advo-
Gates "a campaign 70 enlist $4,000
ministers and through them 10000
600 church members TO take an ac-
tive part in the 1924 Presidential
election"
This is good news. Good news
because it indicates that these fifty
thousand preachers control the forty
millions Of church members so COM
pletely that the congregations arc
ready to do just what the preachers
tell them TO do.
After the preachers have told
their forty millions how 10 vote, our
hope is that they will 20 on and tell
them how to live. And then, ten
thousand customary injustices will
vanish from the eartn like dew
drops drunken by a morning sun,
We had not supposed that there
were forty millions Of persons in
America ready and eager to obey
their preachers so implicitly. We
have hal the notion that perhaps
the tangled snarl in which humanity
finds itself is due 70 the circum-
stance that the millions do not obey
the tenets Of their various religions,
But since these forty millions ex-
ist, in one wieldy and obedient
herd, ready 20 do as they are told
why not tell them first how to live
and then let the votes fall where
they viii?
II the millions lived properly
there would be fewer injustices that
needed correction by the dubiou.

Makes u Fe7O Strides

Among Hammond men who have
made q success in the automotive
world here, is +. j. Bauwens.
Six years ago Bauwens start
cd out with second hand car He
was determined on one thing
selling Studebakers
Bauwens rented a small place IN
the rear of So Holman street and
started out with a used demonstra-
tor. But he made profound i'm
preston with this demontrator-so
profound he attributes his real
start in the automobile business to
this car.
1t was only a short time after he
had established himself in the lit
tie coop of a place at the above
address when he located buyer
for a new Studebaker. This man
was and is a successful physician.
Well, Bauwens sold him so COM
pletely for the Studebaker the doc
tor has since dickered with Bauw-
ems for four other Studebaker
models
Naturally there IL a warm feeling
in the region Of Bauwens' aorta
(whatcver that isl for this W. X.
doctor. But he has just as success
fully sold others for the Stude-
baker, among them other Hammond
doctors and professional men.
Bauwens has always been strong

er he likes moonshine or not, but he

does respect veracity, and this fact
has had much to do with his sue
cessful career.
The physicians purchase was
big ad for p. j. His sales record
mounted up from that time on.
Sometimes later he opened up in
what is now a meat store on south
Holman. AS commodious as this
place was, he soon outgrew it and
the latter part OF last year moved
into a beautiful salesroom at T56
South Holman street, which is
considered a very Hastily arranged
place.
Studebaker sales have become so
enormous the makers recently
adopted the slogan This is a Stu
debaker year" Bauwens. too. SAYS
SO. and points with considerable
pride to a long list OF recent pur-
chasers. The latest buyer of a
Studebaker is c. w. Forsberg. 3s2s
Parish avenue, Indiana Harbor.
Mr.. Bauwens says the greater part
OF his business comes from repeat
orders. Il account for 1t in this
way" he goes on to say: st have
always taken the trouble to make
known to my client the value he is
getting-pointing out that value III

will be considered an asset rather
than a liability.
Keeping a street In repair is not
an expense. 1t is an investment.
1t makes a city more important.
II builds community spirit. Ham
mond would be a prouder city by
far if the town could point its finger
to modern streets throughout.
The issue will have to be met
