ANDERSON INDICTED.

William H. Anderson, superintend-
ent of the New York State branch of
the Anti Saloon League, has been in
dicted for grand larceny and forgery.
Such indictment, of course, does not
prove him guilty of either of these
crimes; it proves, however, that there
was sufficient evidence that he is
guilty to warrant body of investi
gators or lay Judges in deciding that
he may be guilty. The presumption
of innocence is Anderson's. Until he
is proven guilty he must be presumed
to be innocent. That is the law.
The facts are that the grand jury
considered the evidence produced be-
fore it to be such that an investiga-
ton of the activities of the League,
since just before Anderson assumed
charge of 1t, should be made.
Entirely aside from any feeling of
animosity against Anderson that has
been caused because of his wholesale
and often brutal denunciation of per-
sons opposed to him in any way, it
is we'll that the situation is now such
that light will be thrown upon those
actions of Anderson and the League.
Even a true friend of Anderson, If
he has true friends, should be glad
that a show down. will come, II
such true friend" believes in his
honesty. Certainly the public will be
glad to know whether or not the
League has been in the hands of a
man who believed in and worked on
he theory that the end justifies the
means, even though the means be
criminal.

VILLA.
criminal.

The true facts concerning the as
sassination of Francisco Villa are
probably not known and may never
be known. 1t seems to be accepted
generally that it was the result of the
Villa Herrera feud, it being claimed
that Villa had practically exterminat-
ed the Herrera family.
Human interest stories have been
written about Villa living in quiet Sc
cIusion on his farm, after his sur
render to the Mexican government
with $4,000 of his followers and after
receiving grants from the govern
ment. Now we learn that he has
been living there as an autocrat; that
he has been considered a constant
menace to law and order in Mexico.
1t must be remembered, too, that it
was under Villa the raid on Column
bus, New Mexico, was conducted in
1915, at which time IT Americans
were Killed. There followed an ex-
petition by the United States into
Mexico under General Pcrshing which
cost this government some 100000
GEO.
1t is not customary in editorial
comment upon a mans death III
mention the wrongs he had done. but
there may be broader view to take
of the death OF such a man as Villa
proved himself to be. There was
good in him as there is good in every
human soul. Because we cannot fail
TO believe this latent power for good
exists in everyone, We cannot fail to
be appalled, by the death of one in
whose history there appears SO little
Of it. What is to become of that

EXAMINING AUTO DRIVERS.

Today comes news emphasizing the
Importance of careful examination of
persons seeking to obtain operators
licenses of motor vehicles, as previ-
ously commented upon in these col
umns. An authority states that lax
supervision of such drivers and the
failure to examine applicants strictly
has resulted In an increase of AZ per
cent in the automobile death rate in
the past three years. The same au-
thority states that registration and
examination of all drivers is the only
method of stopping the rising num-
Der of traffic casualties. Connecticut
is given as one of the states WHERE
strict supervision of drivers is main
tanned. For that reason casualties
have fallen off 2 per cent while the
general rate all over the country has
Increased the AZ per cent.
The point to be emphasized is that
in changing the place where examina-
tons may be held, the same strictness
should be observed as that which has
obtained heretofore. Connecticut
should not be allowed to fall in line
with the whole country" Where the
death rate is so large.

"sIDEwALKs OF NEW YORK"

East Side, West Side. all around
the own; the girls play ring-a-rosy
London Bridge is falling down"
The words and the CHEEKY Tilt of
the old song come from memory.
Perhaps they are incorrect-not just
exactly as the author of the song
them today in his vaudeville act in
this city. But hearing them again
from the man who knew from ex-
perience the pathos, the comedy, the
drama, tragedy and humor of the
great city with its sidewalks over
which trod the rich and poor, the de-
spairing and the hopeful, brings back
the picture of all life ip that great
melting pot of the world. Charles B.
Lawlor, the author is blind today,
but there may be sensed in his atti-
tude wistful sort of pride that he
originated sentiment and melody
which is so simple and human in its
appeal and yet which holds a deeper
ilosophy-deeper, probably. than
the man who conceived it realized
when the words and the music
formed themselves in his mind. An
achievement? Certainly an achieve
ment it is to give to people something
that touches them deep in their
hearts; that paints a sound picture of
life In all its phases as life has passed
over the sidewalks of New York.

COLOR "ADs" FOR DAILIES.

Chicago, July 21-Color display ad-

forecasts made at the twenty-seventh
annual convention of the American
Photo Engravers association here.
l.. w. Clayborn of Milwaukee said
that the method of coloring now gen.
orally used in illustrated newspaper
supplements would be in daily opera
ton within a short time and would
afford the most feasible plan TO mer-
chants for illustrating their wares.

STREETS AGAIN.

The common council decided to
pave Grove Hill; the Mayor objects
to spending $1,000 for that purpose.
The movement had behind it power
full influences. 1t succeeded and
probably will stand.
Now come some of the people who
are interested in the condition of
Wooster street which, it is said, has
been left unimproved where improve
ment was badly needed. for more than
two years. The people of this COM
munity who have stirred themselves
to call the condition Of the street to
public notice are to be commended.
Interest in civic affairs begins, quite
naturally, by taking up some matter
that personally concerns those who
become active in 1t. AS charity be-
gins at home. so a person looks out
for number one" And Wooster
street is quite as deserving of con-
sideration as Grove Hill, If the situa-
tion there is the same. From con-
sidering ones own interests it is a
short step to thought of your neigh
Dor. Frequently there is cause for
complaint that matters in which pow
erful interests concern themselves are
given preference over matters having
no such backing. This should not be
SO. and Mayor Paonessa is the last
person to have it so If he can help It.
We do not urge a general, expen-
sive program of paving. 1t can't
be done. But we do urge the citi-
zens of the various portions of the
city where the streets are very bad
or where other evils exist, to make
public such facts. to meet and to or
ganize, not to criticize but rather to
present all the facts relating to the
condition of the streets of the city.
Then we urge fair treatment to all
communities, regardless of the power
or influence of those living in them.

BLACK SEA MUST HAVE
FORTS, RUSSIANS SAY
Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs
Demands Rights to Reopen OAR
danelles Treaty Discussion.

Lausanne, July 21.-The United
States government is endeavoring to
have the question of rights of war;
incorporated in the Turco- American
treaty. as any idea of subscribing later
to a special straits convention has
been abandoned.
George Tchitcherin. the Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in his
telegram announcing the decision of
Soviet Russia to sign the straits con-
vention said Russia reserved the
right to reopen the dicGssion at any
time her national interes, demanded.
Russia, he added, still opposed the
form Of the treaty, because it placer
Russia and Turkey at the mercy of
imperialistic states and obliged Rus
STA to fortify the Black Sea. How
ever, as Turkey was satisfied Russia
believed it desirable to sign the con-
vention.
Announcement that Soviet Russia
will adhere to the convention for con-
troll of the Turkish straits created a
most favorable impression in confer
ence circles.
1t was pointed out that Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin has hitherto bit
terly opposed opening the Dardanelles
and the Black Sea to foreign warships
as a measure dangerous to Turkey
and Southern Russia, and yesterdays
decision was taken to indicate that
Russia decides to cooperate in the
political evolution of the Near East
and considers her signature of the
protocol would be a step toward in
ternational recognition of the Soviets.
Russian participation has been re-
garded by the delegates as essential
to a permanent and rational settle
ment of Near East affairs, and Mos
cows acceptance of the straits con-
vention has raised the hopes of those
who have heretofore regarded the
traty as weak makeshift document

nan ADVICE.

The desire to say something I'M
usual leads sensible people astray
often. Intelligent persons hate to get
the reputation for saying or writing
the obvious thing. That is the rea-
son SO much fun is made Of the old
time newspaper expression, I'VE have
in our midst, etc." and similar
phrases. Moreover makers of cpl
grams often go far astray In their
| philosophy when the exact sense Of
their thought would make an inhar-
monious sentence. So, If something
strikes one as especially we'll ex-
pressed it is wise to examine the
sense of the expression, or If some
startling statement is published 1t is
we'll to wonder IL the person who
made that statement really believed it
to be true, or was inspired by de-
sire to gain notoriety because of the
new angle he places on situation.
Out in Detroit certain Judge has
surprised people by the statement
that Driving slowly causes more ac-
cidents than driving fast 1t gums up
the traffic. There are more accidents
under rs miles an hour than there
are above"
Now we are in full sympathy with
the judge in his feeling that slow
driving In some cases is more than
exasperating Passing along crowd
ed highway, out in the open away
from towns or cities, the person who
drives very slowly at the head of a
procession of cars almost compels
those cars to pass him. and in the
passing they are quite likely to run
into other cars coming from the OPP
der such circumstances, where a
moderately rapid pace would suit all
gerous person. But, If the judge has
been correctly quoted, and If the
context, which Is not given in the
dispatch. did not modify the state
ment above made, the judges advice
is bad and tends to offset all the
efforts being made to lessen the num-
Der of automobile accidents by re-
ducing the speed of automobiles ex-
cept where it is safe to travel fast
The accidents that happen under
25 miles an hour are caused, many
of them, by the slowing up without
warning of the car in front. This is
an extremely dangerous practice. But
a general reduction in the speed of |
automobiles certainly would result in
fewer accidents, despite this startling
statement of the Detroit judge.

men were digging the foundation for

which might be Of interest to many
Of those living who can remember
the little jet of water, is contained
In the following clipping from a Her
aid of 1898:
fhe nipt report of the board of wa
ter commissioners contains refer
ence to the Central Park Fountain
showing that 1t was built in 1858. The
report reads: 1.-The reservoir on Wal
nut Hill was completed in August,
1858. and the fountain in Central Park
was built the same year by private
contributions at cost of about ST.
900. 1t has diameter Of so feet
and is three feet deep. It Is used for
playing small jet during the summer
and when the atmosphere Is light, will
play stream 1-8 inches in dia-
meter. $50 feet high"
The report was issued for the years
1857 and 1858. The board was then
composed of F. T. Stanley, II. e. Rus

Woodruff was warden of the borough
and the burgesses were Timothy 8.

Perhaps there are some residents OF

Walnut Hill which passed out Of exist
