UNFOLDING .A PRINCIPLE.

Many silly thing is done merely to uphold a principle. The act often does uphold one principle only to bring another. greater principle into ridicule.
 There is 8. principle" relic of the days when some men were considered better than others because of their official or other standing, which ab- solves ambassadors from observance of certain laws of the country to which they have been assigned.
 The other day the German Am- bassador to Washington went motor ing with various officials of the Ger man Embassy. They exceeded speed limit and were halted by the Law in the town of Bolivar, w. Va. The German ambassador explained his diplomatic immunities, but the justice of the little town failed to be impress ed and imposed fine of s5.60 which the ambassador paid rather than go to jail. Upon his return to Washing ton, probably highly indignant that he, representative of Germany, had been subjected to such an indignity, he wrote note to Secretary of State Hughes asking return of the y5.sO.

ROAD CONDITIONS

Attention is called to the report of the highway department on the road conditions throughout the state as published in The Herald of yesterday. This information is not given, of course, for the benefit of those who motor for pleasure entirely. It grows increasingly beneficial to those whose busineA requires the use of trucks and who are anxious to have no delay in deliveries or transportation of their goods,
 The report indicated roads under construction or repair, the presence or absence of detours and their need. and tells generally of the road condi- tions which affect the motor vehicle travel.
 The publication of such reports gen. orally is emphasized because people are slow to take advantage of in- formation easily obtainable. The road conditions change from week to week, of course, but these reports of the highway department as published in the news columns may be relied upon as being accurate at the time they arc issued. A study of them is means of great saving Of valuable time.

May Rc Jealousy

New York. Oct. 1s.--The police have discarded the theory of burg lary in the attack Thursday evening on Mrs. Ida NJ. Leslie and the sub seauent shooting Of Milton NJ. Maas, wealthy New York chemist. at Mrs. Leslie's home at Sound Beach. Conn. Tn it's stead. they have substituted q plot to kill MT. Maas.
 . "A person In close touch with inves- tigation of the seizing of Mrs. Leslie on the lawn of her home by three young men and the wounding twice of MT. Maas when he ran to her as- ststance was quoted as saying the au- thorities were convinced that New York gunmen were hired by a jcal- ous rival to kill the chemist. Jn sup port of this theory, 1t was pointed out that if robbery had been the mo- tive, the jewels worn by Mrs. Leslie valued at S1O,0O0 would have been stolen. Seizure last night by the police of package of letters from Mrs. Les lies home, it was said, disclosed that a New York millionaire nationally known, was rival for Mrs. Leslie's affections. The name of the man was withheld.

THE YOUNG SAVERS

Reference to the school children who have savings accounts in banks suggests the thought that there are three classes of people in the world -those who are happy because they have enough money to live comforta- bly and to help those who deserve and need their help: those who have just enough money to struggle along and who are never very happy about it: and those who need help.
 There are the good and the bad in all three classes; there are the de- serving and the undesering. But if q child had choice of which class he would want to belong to when he grows up he would choose wisely to be numbered among those of the first class--among those who had enough money to live comfortably and to help others who needed and deserved help, whether they had generally recogniz- cd right to his help or not.
 Almost any child can arrange it so that he will make start, at least, toward joining that class which is to be envied. He can start savings ac- count with few pennies; he can add to it. The habit, of course. will en- courage him to keep it up always
 But with the growing bank account should come the growing realization by the child that the money he saves Is more than money to be spent upon

BUYING SCHOOL LAND

There Is much discussion regarding the decision to be made between eer- tain plots Of land to be purchased for school purposes-for the erection or a new school building.
 It Is utterly absurd for any indl. yiduai to express his opinion as to whether the plot for which si7.ooo is asked, or the lot the price of which is s25.O00 would be the better purchase unless that person has made . thor ough examination of the lots, pos- sesses complete knowledge of the use to which the ground is to be put. understands the health and other con ditions of the locality and has a thor ough grasp of the situation.
 But it is not absurd to emphasize the point that there should be only one motive In reaching the decision. and that motive should be the earnest desire to do the best thing for the city by doing the best thing for it's children, remembering that tho lot selected will be the place a school will stand for many years if not always. There should be no hint of favorit- ism to any one individual, nor should there be any inclination to pass over the property of an individual who is most eager to have the city buy his lot. No matter how much or how little the owner of the land under con- temptation desires to dispose of his land to the city no account should be taken of his attitude. The land is the thing and the need of the school these are all that matter.
 It may seem needless to emphasize these points, but it is not useless. In an effort to be fair a body or per son may be unfair because of his or it's ardent desire to be fair. Absolute inn partiality is needed here, and those with whom the decision rests should be suspicious of themselves lest they allow their own honesty, or, converse ly, their prejudices, to influence them.

BUSINESS IS .onpEnIY.H z

General business as reflected in the BahsonehaFl." says Roger Babsen in his weekly letter ''is running 10 per cent below normal lsbeul where li has been for many weeksl. indicating that readiustmenl, lwhat Afr, pabson has referred to as inc 'sidewise move ment1 Is progressing at an orderly and satisfactory rate"
 The feeling has been that Mir. Bab' sons opinion. namely that there is a moderate degree Of house cleaning going on. is correct. Hut we know that the rural communities are buying more at present. owing perhaps to the approach Of the holiday season. and, eontrarywise. VIC know that certain manufacturing concerns are not buy ing in large quantities even when a splendid opportunity to get a bargain presents itself
 As the increased buying is explained by the season. and as the refusal to buy ahead is not explained except by reference to the judgment of the buy CTS. it looks as though this business readjustment is bit more than re- adjustment. It would seem to be more marking of time. with business quietly confident but not sure enough to 20 ahead and start. anything.
 Mr. Babson writes chiefly on sugar and its interesting history for the last few years. The conclusion he reaches is that sugar will be lower by the end of the year and for that reason peo- pie should not stock up heavily today. but should buy supplies as needed" Of course were consumers to begin a campaign of stocking up at the first sight of fall in price. that price would not continue to fall. So the lower price of the commodity is de- pendent in measure upon the action or the consumers.
 A continual study of Babson's con cusions and the news coming from other sources leads to the belief that present timidity, if and where it is seen, has no justification. as there is no justification, as yet, of too great an enthusiasm regarding the immedi- ate future which would lead to great ly increased expenditure and expan- sion.

"sIMpLE.M1NDED SAILORS.

X former member of the United States Navy, who served during the war and who feels that mple-mind- edness" is not characteristic of sail ors, calls the attention of The Her. aid to the following clipping from the standard publication of the United States Navy, Our Navy:
 This is great world. The
 Hartford (Conn.) Courant, sup
 posedly newspaper with an edi-
 tor, paste pot and all like that,
 prints an article on tattooing. It
 says: "Tattooing is dying out. It
 is perpetrated these days only on
 simple-minded folks like sailors"
 And yet there are folk more sim
 pie minded than sailors. Some
 edit Connecticut newspapers. A
 jab. with a tattoo needle might
 snap 'em out of it.
 While the Herald will take the liberty of asserting that the Hartford "Courant" undoubtedly meant no slight to the splendid men who served and who serve in our navy by print ing an article calling sailors simple we are glad indeed to take this opportunity of saying that some of the most intelligent men we have met who served in the<war were those same sailors. Simple minded folk like sailors" is an expression that should not find it's way into public print, especially at time when our soldiers, sailors and marines often receive intentional as well an sights, and to whom every man, woman and child in this country stands deeply indebted.

COOLIDGE STANDS BACK
 OF PROHIBITION LAWS
Haynes Declares That Administration Fayors Strict Observance of The
 Eighteenth Amendment

Washington, Oct. IS. - Assurance that the Coolidge administration like that of the late President Harding, stands squarely for prohibition en- forcement was given by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes in an address today at the opening session of the citizenship conference, on enforce nent called by the federal council of churches.
 This administration is four square for effective enforcement" Commis- sioner Haynes declared in his address to the conference. we all know how -'aliantly President Harding supported and sponsored it. No less whole hearted is President Coolidge's posi- ton on law enforcement. Attorney Gen. Daugherty's position is always we'll known. The report of the attor- ney general recently made to Presi- dent Coolidge, covering the activities of the department of justice, shows that department is in dead earnest in the prosecution of violators of the prohibition laws"
 Commissioner Haynes called urgent
  ly upon friends of prohibition to awake to the ''insidious propaganda" which he charged was being directed against the dry law.
 Declaring the states should aid more in enforcement work especially as to minor infractions of the law, Commissioner Haynes cited that there were only 1522 prohibition agents available for the entire country while there are over 100000 policemen, marshals and deputies.
 The charge of wholesale violations Is untoundcd,' the prohibition com missioner declared, the chief attack on prohibition has been and it per- haps always will be for some time to come that it cannot be enforced. At the present time the opposing forces nave almost shown perfect frenzy of effort to make this appear to be true. These minority forces have not vet awakened to the realization that pros hipitlon is now in the fundamental iaW of the law by the 18th amend ment to the Constitution"
