Doesn't Like Personalities"

'"The Record editor likes a gentle
manly controversy with another
newspaper about any matter of public
concern and we are generally fairly
well fortified with facts to uphold our
angle of any such cause we espouse.
We have tried to conduct our recent
consolidated school controversy with
The Lancaster Herald on such a
personalities have no place
whatever in such discussion and we
have tried not to descend to them and
believe we have succeeded. However,
as far as The Record is concerned the
controversy with The Herald on this
matter is closed Seldom have We
witnessed a more unethical, ungentle-
manly, "Smart-Alecky" course than
has been adopted by The Herald in
it's treatment of this important matter
of securing better school facilities for
Bloomington and vicinity. The "edi-
torial" in this weeks Herald is the
elimination of a series of misrepre-
sensations of The Records course
with regard to local school affairs
that we refuse to descend to reply to-
If The Herald can get any satisfac-
ton out of the course it has chosen
to follow, it is entirely welcome. >

The Sacred Five Percent.

New York city with one-twentieth
of the nations population has but 300
square miles of territory The other
95 percent lives in the 2,999,700
square miles left over. According to
the view of many Zone might say
most) New Workers, everybody out
side of the sacred precincts of the city
is a hick and boob. Philadelphians
are joked about, Chicagoans sneered
at and the rest of us mildly patroniz-
ed. The funny part of 1t is that for
genuine dumb-bell stuff the New
Yorker has the rest of the world beat
The size of his city makes him feel

Are We SO Wicked?

Is Lancaster such a wicked town?
After hearing considerable pow-wow
along this line recently we are get
ting tired enough of the subject to
stand up and ask a question?
Instead Of the grown men of the
community setting a bad example for
the boys our observation is that it is
quite the other way around. The
young fellows are setting bad exam
plies for their elders and ought to be
ashamed of themselves. For one ex-
ample of deYiltry in an elderly man
we can show you fifty on the part Of
boys from 16 to %. Furthermore the
hell-raisers of this generation have it
all over the older ones who have SOW
ed their wild oats and now proceed in
a solemn cycle of arising in the morn
ing, working all day, eating three
meals, reading in the evening, wind
ing the clock, shaking the furnace and
putting out the cat before beginning
another cycle of hours sleep, break
fast, work, dinner, work, supper, at
tend lodge smoke in the drug store,
and so on.
In nearly ten years residence here
we cannot recall a single case of seri-
Gus crime. But one case went to cir
cult court, local man being charged
with the theft of a few dollars from a
washer woman. The case was
solemnly argued, resulting in acquit-
al There is an occasional drunk,
some street fights and other INSIDE
meanOrs, but nothing that would in
dictate a perverted or criminal COM
munity.
The chief of police here is also
water superintendent and meter read
err. He is street superintendent aud
in charge Of public works. There is
no Jail here and in years no one has
been locked up for crime. BY most
standards Lancaster leans over back
wards being good
Some of the older ones smoke and
chew. These are bad but not easily
shaken habits. Others have been
known to take a drink if they knew
where it came from. Still others,
shame. on them, play cards. Some go
to baseball games. We do the things
that appeal to our imagination as a
release from tedious toll and gray
plodding Most folks get little enough
pleasure as they go along The
charitable mind does not view these
things as moral turpitude or wicked
ness. He realizes one cannot fit peO-
pie to a universal last.
AS we said before the young ones
do occasionally set bad example to
the older ones and ought to reform
but wOn't-for few years when they
will marry and settle down like the
rest did. We stand aghast at them
just as the sellers of our own boyish
generation 1--WE remember distinctly
did at US. Most of us came out all
right, and so will they.
Without mitigating the seriousness
of some things our observation tells
us that making a big TODD about rela-
lively petty affairs magnifies its inn
portance in the eyes of the one under
fire and makes him secretly resolve
to raise q little more hell when he
gets a chance. Raising a hullaballo
isn't the best way to reform an al
ready pretty good community.
Is Lancaster wicked? Forget it.

Mrs Clifford Pinchot, the wife Of
Pennsylvania governor, is in favor
Of women prohibition agents. Mrs.
Pinchot's idea has merit. She says:
"The use of women as enforcement
agents would greatly help to arouse
the moral sense Of the community and
therefore go far toward really en-
forcing the prohibition law"

The Increasing Weight of Taxation.

A recognized authority on the sub
ject said a few days ago that if taxes
increase for another seventeen years
at the rate which they have increased
since the war ended, each citizen in
the United States will pay the tax

From the foregoing it is plain to be
seen that the Record doesn't like per
sonalities and never INDUCES IN them.
The Herald understands the Record
less than ever 1t twitS us about los
ing our grip and when we turn on the
power and show the Record that our
grip is just as "grippy" as ever the
Record adopts a disdainful and high
and mighty attitude and walks off the
lot saying in effect it won't play with
that bad, rough Herald any more"
We were just warming up, too.
The Herald is afraid the Record is
a good starter but a poor finisher.
Just when we think we have the Rec
ord in a corner and trapped he picks
up his marbles and top and runs
home. That is no way to do. Don't
cry, Record. The other bad little
boys will think you are fraidy-cat.
They will pick on you worse than
ever.
The Records bitterness is not be-
cause we have misrepresented it. The
trouble is we have REPRESENTED
the Record Truth about the school
situation and the Record editor and
his REAL policies hurts worse than
anything else in the world.
So long, Record dear. While you
are philosophizing in your stately
loneliness think of us once in a while
won't you? Think also Of being
honest and fair with readers and con-
temporaries Think of the rights Of
the poorest and most humble of your
fellow citizens Think how disas-
trous it becomes to slip things over in
an oleaginous manner. Think about
personalities, smart-alecs and prac-
ticing what one breaches. And re-
solve never to start anything you
can't finish. When you have learned
these things come and play some
more.
In the meantime the Herald will
proudly display the belt for being the
only person or newspaper in the
world that ever made the Record lay
down and quit.

IN SUGAR.

Sugar speculation is again running wild. Every indication
suggests that the market is controlled, however, by a few power
full men and concerns. While the memory of the very costly in
vestments In sugar of two years ago is fresh in mind, the jobbers
and brokers will refrain from getting loaded with sugar. They
learned well the lesson that if the price of sugar, or any other COM
modify, got high enough, the whole world would begin unloading
the product on America. This year the market manipulators will
have to be satisfied with plucking a few spectators and making
sugar as dear to the public as they dare.
The statement that the 81 rise last week was due to the fact
that it had Just been discovered that the Cuban crop was 100000
tons below the estimated output is pure rot. Only the gulible
sheep" will take it at anywhere near its face value. Well posted
dealers know that this is no reason for a spectacular increase in
prices. Apparently the big purchasers were not led into the trap.
for the prices eased off a dollar on Wednesday. The sheep" were
probably taken to a good shearing, and the boys down east got
their money without actually handling a dollars worth of sugar.
The public has the means in its hands to force down exorbi
tant prices, and it is in the mood to do so. A general refusal to buv
is the answer to the forces that control in New York and Cuba

add a little by saying that we in Dis
