Penalizing Recklessness.

Under a recent Virginia enact
ment drivers Of all vehicles, on ap-
preaching grade crossings Of rail-
ways outside the corporate limits Of
any town, must come to full stop
mot less than ten feet nor more than
one hundred feet from the nearest
rail" The law carries penalty Of
a $40 fine for violation.
The legend stop, Look, Listen"
as a mere warning, however plainly
displayed on sign boards at grade
crossings, is to a great extent fail
ure. A particularly appalling object
lesson of the results of neglect to
heed 1t may for time increase eau
tiousness within the more or less re-
stricted district in which live per-
sons having first hand knowledge Of
1t, but even there 1t is quickly forgot
ten. Even the shocking number Of
such tragedies has little effect The
habit OF recklessness soon resumes
iull sway. Indeed, with certain
type of driver, particularly OF auto
mobiles, the very danger itself seems
to be provocative to taking of life
or death chances.
Warnings, pleadings, painstaking
and widely extended educational ef-
forts having apparently failed to
make travellers careful at grade
crossings, Virginia now proposes to
see what the law can do. Policing
every grade crossing in the State is
of course out of the question. Where
one grade crossing runner is caught
and fined dozen will disregard the
law with impunity. Perhaps II the
punishment included a Jail sentence
there might be some reform on the
part of chance takers. But even
this is problematical.
But the Virginia enactment IL
sound in principle. No doubt it will
to some extent act as check on
recklessness. Were similar laws in
force in all the States the total num-
Der of grade crossing killings and
maimings would be reduced.

rope permit the enforcement OF the
Treaty of San Stefano, which would
have ended thirty-five years ago the
Turks power in Europe? Europe
used to weep every spring for the
Macedonian Christians. but when the
Balkan nations arose in their might
and drove the Turk back to the Bos
porus no war could have been more
unpopular with Germany, Austria,
Italy and France.
In 1916 wave Of horror swept
over the world at the massacre and
deportation to death of 100000 Ar
menians. Christianity then called
for an Armenia which should be the
haven and refuge of this prosecuted
race. Unless the small Bolshevist
States of Kars and Evian, under the
ehadow OF the. bloodthirsty Kurds,
are considered as Armenia, Armenia
does not exist. What has become OF
this State in the scrapping of the
Sevres Treaty and the grab for
territory?
Is not the investigation of the
Turkish atrocities something of an
afterthought? At the Near East con-
ference in Paris a short time ago
there was nothing done in the matter
and even the. provisions proposed
for the protectiou Of the Christian
minorities in Turkey had no defend
ers. The conference chiefly endeav-
ored to adjust the claims OF the eon-
tending nations. These, unhappily,
were not adjusted. Can 1t be posi-:
BILE that instead of embarking on a
disinterested excursion for the de-
nunciation of the unspeakable Turk
the United States Is being drawn
into participation in British. French,
Greek and Italian world politics?

LULL IN HEAT TO MAKE
1922 GREAT ROSE YEAR
Dr. Howe Explains A bout Pre-
mature Budding.

The break in the intense heat Of the
last few days probably will make 1922
one Of the greatest rose years in a long
time. This opinion was expressed yes
terday by Dic Marshall A. Howe of
Pleasantville. N. ", horticuturist. who
makes a speciality of growing roses.
Climatic conditions thus far this spring
have been ideal for roses, but the heat
of last week. which has varied from IS
to 81 degrees. had a tendency to make
the buds bloom prematurely.
Reports from suburban points indicate
that the rose bushes are laden down with
buds more profusely than for several
years The countryside during the last
few days literally has become one gar
den OF roses OF every conceivable pink
and red hue. The blooms in most in
stances have opened since last Tuesday.
when the heat began. Amateur garden
ers have been revelng In their success
and have been asking one another for
the reason for the unusual abundance Of
roses.
DR.. Howe will touch upon the reasons
for the great harvest in a lecture he
will deliver next Saturday afternoon at
the New York Botanical Gardens in
Bronx Park. He will describe the ef-
feet that a warm spell this time OF year
has on the buds and the reason why a
respite from the heat is necessary to
bring out the full luster of the blooms.
The season for most varieties of roses IA
during the last two weeks of June and
some run into July. The perpetuals or
High Bridge tearoses are the ever bloom
ing variety which last the greater part
OF the summer.

With that shining common sense
which distinguishes his point of view
on all questions. national or interna-
tional, President HARDING gave to a
large gathering which he addressed
at Trenton on Friday evening quite
the wisest utterance that has been
expressed in a few simple words on
the readjustment from abnormal war
conditions:
During the war capital got used
to unusual profits and labor became
acquainted with unusual wages,
which both have been reluctant to
relinquish. There must be read
tustment-but it must be fair
readjustment
1--WE must say to capital that
wages must not go back and ought
not, to go back to where they were
before the war. Yet you cannot have
employment without reasonable profit
for capital"
The readjustment, in other words,
cannot be avoided under the mex
orable laws of economies. Everybody
must face it and take it. But how
the details of the readjustment are
worked out depends very largely on
the American spirit, conscience and
character.
A pre-war wage, a war wage or a
postwar wage affords in itself no
true basis of what fair wage is.
What is true of wages is true of
profits. The sound basis and the just
basis for each is what labor or capi-
tai does in honest effort at wealth
production and enlightening i'm
provements for the community and
the world and what share OF that
creation can and should go to each to
stimulate more production and fur
ther improvement.
Let there be peace or let there be
war, wages in respect OF what a
mans pay would get for him have
been rising through the centuries as
both capital and labor have buckled
more earnestly and more effectively
TO the eternal work of producing
more so as to have more to divide
among the producers.
Wages ought not to go back to the
pre-war basis and they will not go
back to the pre-war basis if the work
ers of the country after the war pro-
duce more commodities and create
more economic wealth for division
and distribution than they created
before the war.
Wages cannot fail to go back to
pre-war levels, they cannot fail to go
to even lower than pre-war levels. II
the workers OF the country slip down
with their productive powers from
the peaks into the valleys.

To weave a garland gay

Upon n slender spray.

The green syringa suddenly
Grew white with waxen flowers,
The meadow sweet entlced the bees
To fairy banquet bowers.
