COOPERATION.

Ever since the plan was suggested some time ago by Mayor Paonessa, Of having representatives of the various boards and commissions meet regu- hrly so that a matter known by one board to need attention might be taken up by the proper authority, the Herald has emphasized the wisdom of the policy of eoperation between all the boards, commissions and depart ments of the city. A suggestion often is made, tried, found good, and then
 for some mysterious reason, apparent ly forgotten. Only by emphasizing continually the benefits to be derived from a continuance Of the arrange ment, does it get on It's feet to stay there and to keep on functioning un- til 1t becomes a settled policy which no one would think of disregarding.
 Along this line, differing only in the fact that whole commissions are in- yolyed instead of representatives from each is the Mayors request to mem- bers Of the city plan commission, the board Of public works and the board Of compensation and assessment, to be present At the meeting in his office Monday evening, on the ground that matters to be decided are Of especial interest 10 the three boards and that the informaion of members Of one may aid another, thus bringing about wise determination Of what is 10 be done. This is the spirit under which the boards should act, and the har- mony which would result would be Of great benefit to the taxpayers of inc city, insuring not only a wise consid- eration Of projects, but also saving in lime which means money, by making it unnecessary for one board 10 examine Into question over which another board has spcnt considerable time and about which it has much in- formation.
 At the recent meeting of the city meeting board the suggestion was made that the city planning commis- sion should have been consulted in l planning tho memorial IL was shown | that special act made this unncces- sary. The memorial committees competency was lauded, but the illus ! tfation is cited merely to show that ! such joint meetings as proposed would meet the spirit Of the suggestion made at that session of the board.
 The affairs Of municipalities are not exempt from the general rule that much more may be accomplished properly through cooperation than through independent action.

1 considerable time as heretofore. The
 result will be undoubtedly that traffic will be spacded up at this point, all
 because someone used his common
 .rnse.
 The report i% the traffic expert in . titcd to view the situation here. fla
 yoring ihe one-way traffic about Cen 1 tral Park. was just what anyone would expect. No one, looking ali the move mcnt about the park Of traffic under the present arrangement. and not
 being thoroughly familiar with he
 claims Of the merchants here, could
 report otherwise. Looking at the sit
 ua,ion purely as a traffic question,
 there would seem to be no two sides
 most of us .ook at it. not being mer-
 chants with places of business facing
 the park. And that tendency to con sider the situation merely as a traffic
 problem, is what has led 10 the gen eral feeling in favor Of the onc-way traffic. It would seem that the rule,
 Facilitate traffic and you speed up the business Of the city" would apply.
 It would not seem advisable 10 adVo- cate any plan for q city which would hold people in the center"-make it hard for them to get out of it. But the merchants have their side, the shoppers have theirs and the people Nho want orderly and systematic traf- fic have their side. No wise merchant would want to take a stand on this question which would make him, and therefore, his store, unpopular with the shoppers to whom he caters. As he tries 10 please his customers in the goods he presents, so he would want to please them in the manner of ac- cess to his place Of business, It might be good idea to hear from the peo- pie who, more than others, spend time in the stores buying articles there.
 And apropos Of this aspect Of the it is to be remembered that people wishing to park their cars on Main street east Of the park, ought to come into that part of the street facing the park from the south, as they must park to the right and that would be, Of course, the easterly curb of Main street.
 The proper idea, in any event, is to give the plan thorough trial and | then make the best arrangement pos sble for everyone concerned. We be- lieVe that best idea" is the one-way traffic. As to Webster Hill the refer l ence made 10 the difficult turn al Arch street and Rockwell avenue ought to settle the matter of one-way .raffic on Webster Hill. That is a difficult turn most decidedly. Unless we are prepared to make it more easy 10 negotiate, the sldea of the white line at the top of Webster Hill, rum hing into Arch, should be adopted. A word of appreciation is due this traf- . hc expert and the company he repre- sents for his suggestions.

JUDGING CHARACTER.

A speaker in this city the other da,
 showed, in measure, how a man, character may be judged by the lines
 on his face, the shape Of his head "and other characteristics" presumably of
 the contour of that part Of him which
 is physically affected by his mental ac- l tivities, the result Of such character. In vague way most people have heard of phrcnologists and students of
 palmistry. They "let 1t go at that
 smiling incredulously after the fashion of all Of us when a matter is discuss
 cd of which we know comparatively
 little.
 The celebrated writer. Max Beer
 bohm, once produced a little story
 which he called "The Happy Hypo-
 crite." 'Lord George Hell" in his
 tale, was a very wicked person indeed,
 spending his wealth in riotous living and the things they did in those days instead of joy riding and buying bootleg liquor. Quite naturally his
 face grew 10 indicate something Of what his character became after some years of this sort of thing. and his appearance ws repulsiYe to those who
 find their happiness in the bright sun- shine and in all things that are good. One day Lord George met a charming little lady who danced upon the stage for a living, but she was not of the character generally and enormously, often. given Co the "rolics" maidens. she was a nature lover. and a girl Of clean heart. Lord George. relying up- on his title and great wealth. sup posed she. this beautifm but poor little maiden. would fail easy prey to his wealth and ailos. as many others had done. But no, the man she could love. she told him. must have a god like countenancs and must be man of fine derds.
 So Lord George hies him to mask makcr-a person who. in oiden times seems to have been one quite like the hearty parior spcciaiiFts of modern days and obtains a mask of wax. EaIlike in appearance and Of great beauty. This waxcn mask is skilfuUy fitted to his rcpuisive face. so that he closely resembles god and one whose heart is turned toaard doing good. He meets the little maid in inc forest. she. nf coursa. not recognizing him as Lord George He'll" Immediately she !. feels that she has met the man she -an love because of his evident beauty i of character. They meter leave the i wood. being married ufh simple in- -orniaIity by kindly priest. and talk ug up their abode there among inc great trees of the forest. Their love I g perfect: their manner of fife all # hat any Civic League might praise. 1 Their pleasures are the simple ones. 4 md their first wedding anniversary is # .eisbrated by a feast Of delicious buns. |

CALIFORNIA VOTE AND JAP
 EXCLUSION

Arthur Brisbane, highest paid" newspaper writer in the United States can miss his forecasts as easily as the weather man. Commenting on the vote of Johnson and Coolidge in California, he declared the vote twill tell Presi- dent Coolidge what some of the peo- pie think of Japanese exclusion" add ing that California naturally would vote heavily for Hiram Johnson," whereas the "lukewarm attitude of the administration on Japanese ex- clusion should add heavily to the Hi
 ram Johnson vote." He concluded that "'the bigger the vote the more plainly the president will understand that temporizing the Asiatic exclusion is a sure way to lose California next Nov ember." It is a political axiom that the most uncertain thing in the world Is sure thing. MT. Brisbane is an ardent anti-Japanese and California is credit ed with being likewise. But the verdict of California whereby Johnson lost more than fifty thousand and suffered his first defeat in fourteen years, shows that Japanese exclusion is not the only issue before the people and that the term "leukwarmness," and "temporizing" were far-fetched. The
