HIDDEN VICE.

For the purpose of this word let
 it be granted that there are many sound reasons upholdng the alleged improvement in the country made by prohibition. This may not be ad- mitted actually, but grant it for the moment. Agatn the plea is made that when arguments in favor of the con- dition that exists today, as q result of prohibition. are presented seriously, they may be req sons which do not in- volve sophistry-rcasons which. are not based upon false philosophy.
 A person writing to the New York World, criticizing the stand against prohibition recently taken by Dr. But Ter, head of Columbia University, states :"Formerly whole sections of cities were given over to saloons and kindred institutions Of, vice. Now 1t is not so. Such vice as exists is hidden from the public"
 Such vice as exists is hidden from the public"
 Could any intended praise of prohi- bition be more damning? No country, honeycombsd by rotting channels Of hiden vice the spreading of which no man might know, could long exist, No community, ehoked with indiyid- usls clever enough to carry on their degenerate desires in darkness, could ong endure. A profound sense of ever present danger comes with the thought that prohibition might bring the time when such vice as exists" will be hidden from the public" If that is 10 be tho result of the movement which many believe has brought good, then indeed even those who cry out against he return Of the saloon will stand forward and protest, declaring Better lar the saloon once more than land where all vice, growing in the dark ,css it creates; waxing fat on its sc- ' 'urity; safe in its seclusion, is hidden rom the public"

GATES AT RAILWAYS

II is an awful bore to read warn inrs. fl is tragedy to forget them Many people, shamefully ignorant O mechanical and general praetices--w' may say "shamefuily" because we art included nossibly-neyer stop to thinl what information prompts a gate tender 10 lower the railway gates to prevent passage across the tracks at dangerous moments. Many of us have blindly relied upon those gates to pro- tcct us and have gone ahead when they were raised; halted only because they were down.
 The special warning to which 1t becomes a duty to call attention, is that we can not rely upon railway gates absolutely. They are of great assistance in protecting life and in many cases the best means available for making grade crossings safe--as long as we must have grade crossings. But it appears from the news of the day that the gate-tender has no ab- solute way Of knowing just when he should lower the gates. He has to rely upon his sense Of sight and hearing, n would appear from the news that certain gates near New Britain were not lowered merely for the reason that the train came along 13 minutes before it had been in the habit, flor some time" of arriving.
 Gate-tenders st crossings are usually trustworthy, conscientious persons. They appreciate the fact tha, failure on their part 10 lower gates when train is coming, may mean the loss Of many lives. But they can not, ap- parsntly. be on the watch every sec ond Of the time, and have to rely to s certain extent on the belief that trains niH pass according to. schedule. Whether or not a man deserves critl- rism Tor being caught unaWares when . train comes along I5 minutes he- fore it has been coming. wc are not prepared 10 say. There is no arbitrary time limit in such matters. Just what ths day Of the land at the point where recent accident happened, owing 10 raised gates. we Jo not know

CROSSMAN BEGGING
 FOR HIS LIBERTY
Ask Supreme Court to Let Him
 Out on Bail

Washington, May 2s.-Philip Gross man, tho former Chicago saioonkeep- CT. now held in confinement for con tempt of court upon order Of Judges Carpenter and wilkcrson, despite a communication by President Coolidge, today asked the supreme court 10 re- lease him on bail pending an appeal.
 Grossman vas sentenced 10 prison hy former Judge Landis for contempt of rourt on inc charge that he had violated a prohibition paddock iniunc- lion. Before he was committed Presi- dent Coolidge extended executive clcmency. Recently the case was air cd before the senate Daugherty com mittee. In ordering him rearrested the two judges took the position that Grossman, having been sentenced for contempt or cou.t. the president could lot act without an cncroachment on the constitutional independence Of the Judiciary.
 The legal point raised is of such im- portance that the department Of jus tee has indicated if would intervene in inc proceedings in order 10 secure a speedy and final decision by the highest court.
 Pointing out that he was committed to the Chicago House Of Correction on May =. upon order of the two judges. Grozsnan through his counsel. Louis j. Echan and Robert \.

1 moi necessary for one who intvrprcts l pcricnccd ihc emotions or events de- | pictcd. Ii is not impossible that Dr. i Crane may have heard of the reason
 given by one of the greatest actors Of the American stage, Joseph Jeffer- l son. explaining why he, in the charac- ter Of Rip Van Wrinkle, never utilized
 dog, but rather was in the habit of
 speaking of or to Mine dog Schnci- der" as though the animal were actu- ally before the audience. Acting, as
 Mr. Jefferson understood if, was in-
 decd the holding the mirror mp to
 nature" Presenting nature itself was
 not acting. as q drunken man playing tho part of an incbriate would not be acting.
 And perhaps Dr. Crane had heard of the day Joseph Jefferson presenting himself at the window of the teller in a bank, was told that his check must be refused because the teller did not know the old actor. With perfectly simulated pathos Jefferson turned away. a hint Of tears in his eyes.
 "If mine dog Schneider. vas here he would know me-" he sighed. Instantly the teller, who had seen Jefferson upon the stage, and who had heard him speak thus affectionately of mine dog Schneider" was humble and a bit reverentisl in his apologies. cash ing the check without hesitation.
 Had there beon with the great actor the same dog which he might have had upon the stage, the wonderful acting which so overwhelmed the teller would have been missed. The banker might have recognized a pe- culiar marking on the animal-some practical fact would have brought evidence of Identification.
 But Jefferson used no dog in his play. The one he loved was a creature of his imagination. He was present at ony time, anywhere, at his call this loved creature Of the imagination which made the. actor know just how he looked: feel how he felt, and see through his eyes.
 The great actor Is able to feel emo lions he has never experienced other . than in imagination. The greatest Man of all time was able to under . stand, 10 forgive sin though sin was | unknown to his heart

 said
 The right kind Of newspaper 1. one. the ideal Of which is service
 to the community in which it is published-that degree Of unself- { ish service that places the in- terests Of the community first.
 Newspapers should be more than distributors of Information. They
 should be builders Of ideals, lead
 CTS in community development
 and moulders of public opinion.
 There have been and probably arc few newspapers which think little of this sort Of an ideal, Anything to increase circulation, is their cry. But seldom do such newspapers last long unless their positions are unique; almost never do they have any in- fluence upon public opinion You can mol fool the public continually.
 The words here quoted arc not par ticularly remarkable. They are the expressions Of a straightforward man telling Of the place a newspaper should occupy, as he sees that place. Fortunately most. newspapers recog- nize his ideal as the highest. Fortu- nately most newspapers try 10 live up to that ideal. But in the determined often discouraging attempt to keep faith with the public. criticisms come and the question What have ] ever done to harm that paper" when the critized persons position is attacked. It does not seem possible to him. ar 10 inc group which stands with him. that inc point with the newspaper Is not what that man has done or failed to do 10 the publication. hut rather what he has done or failed 10 do or threatens 10 do to the community which the newspaper serves
