Motor Transportation.

Watching those 10 buses which leave
Burlington every day for points within
radius of 40 miles we cannot but
wonder what future awaits motor trans
pOrtation. Certainly the next logical
step will be for them to carry express
and so link up the rural dweller with the
city store to the qualification of both
Gradually the motor bus is going
through the same evolution that charac-
terized the development of the automo-
bile. The first crude buses are giving
way to things of beauty and comfort
and it is occurring to people that if they
will run on roads they will also run on
steel rails. 1t is more than probable
that many short lines of railroad are
going to be saved by motor transporta-
ton fitting the specific needs of each
road.
There has been some ak of such a
step on one of the roads running out
of Burlington. It's development is
merely a matter of time as the PROPOSE
ton is logical enough. And if on short
lines how great a development before
they can be fitted into the needs of
trans-continental trips.
Just as a new era in transportation
opened when the first crude locomotive
appeared so is another era opening with
motor power as basis.
1t may point out the way of the whole
tangled skein of railroad troubles be-
cause the tremendous saving involved is
obvious

WEDNESDAY, MAY "a. 1922.
COMMERCE WITH CONsCIENCE.

When President Harding said the
other day that one of the great needs
was for conscience in business. he
touched chord which responds in the
hearts of most Americans When the
phrase business is business is used
to cover fraud, to excuse greed or dis
honesty or the exploitation of the weak.
the American who hears it so used is
always conscious of an uneasy feeling,
of a belief, though it be unformulated
even to himself, that there is something
unsound about the business which re-
quires that phrase for its apologize
/ do not think any business can per-
manently succeed that is not honest.
And l do not think any enterprise ought
to succeed that is not honorable, said
the President. And if you win combine
honesty and honor, that enterprise
which makes such a slogan will stand
unchallenged before the world.
There is one fundamental that we
ought never forget. No law can ever be
enacted or any substitute ever found
for the reward of merit. 1t is the es-
sence of our social life; it is fundamen-
tai in our religious life. And / am quite
sure there can be no abiding reward
without merit, and 1 am equally sure
that there can be but little of merit
without prospect of reward
Regardless of ones possible agree
ment or disagreement with President
Harding in political matters, when it
comes down to this matter of business
morals, every American who is worth the
name heartily subscribes to this doc
trine.

INVESTIGATING THE TURK.

The British government proposes to
investigate the Turkish atrocities against
the Greeks and Armenians, even if the
other powers refuse to join in the pro-
ceedings
It is all right to investigate, but some
thing more fundamental than that is
needed. There have been countless in
yestigations of Turkish atrocities, and
after every one the Turks go right
ahead massacring Christians the same
as ever, after the dust has settled.
In this case the responsibility for the
renewal of Turkish murder, kidnapping,
starvation and deportation of Christian
subjects seems to rest directly upon
France and Great Britain. Those two
countries, since the war, have protected
the Turks, when nearly all of the rest
of the civilized world was urgent for
their expulsion from Europe and their
removal from all possibility of further
outrage. France befriended them be-
cause of her interests in Syria, and
Britain befriended them to appease her
Mohammedan subjects in India These
motives may have been compelling, par
ticularly in the British case, but the
results are what might have been ex-
pected.
Is there any way of stopping Turkish
atrocities except by depriving the Turks
of all authority over other races?

James Z. Watson, who is to sound the
keynote of the 1922 Republican con-
ressional campaign in a speech to be
delivered before the Indiana state Re
publican convention today, is the junior

When only 81 years of age Mr.. Watson

Holman, "the Great Objector," who
at the time was the oldest member of
the house. In congress Mr.. Watson al
lied himself with the Republican 'fOld
Guard and in the closing years OF the
old Cannon regime was known as one of
tUncle Joe 's'' staunchest ieutenants.
In 1908 he resigned his seat to run for
governor of Indiana. but was defeated
by Thomas r. Marshall. In 1916 he re-
appeared as a prominent figure in state
politics and was elected to the United
States senate. Senator Watson Is

Road Etiquette.
est. Albans Messenger. }

Inspectors from the state automobile
department have been popping up with
considerable suddenness at various
points in the state and it is well for the
autoist to be prepared to show the proper
credentials for operating a car. Also
more attention is being paid to automo-
bile headlights because of the increase in
accidents due to drivers being blinded by
the glare OF course there are some real
gentlemen of the road who considerably
dim their lights in passing other cars,
but unfortunately, there are still too
many who lack the bit of energy involved
or the considerateness for others, to
press the DINNER button 1t seems the
state department might well open a
course in road etiquette" but then of
course there is the old adage about lead
ing a horse to water and not being able
to make it drink
