THE MAYOR

We are all interested to know who will be the next mayor of this city II makes q difference to all of us no matter how little We recognize the fact. Mayor Paonessa has been quot ed as saying that at this time he does not intend to run. A more full and understanding interview with him, carried in the news columns of the Herald, states that not being decided upon his course at this time he can not say that he intends to be a candi- date
 In other words Mayor Paonessa is uncertain what he will do. Those who know him personally realize that, be- Sond a doubt. were there to be q call for him to run again, and were he, in all modesty. to feel that the people believe that he has shown himself a competent, honest official, he would again seek the office, He is not the sort Of man to run away from a call or fhe people.
 On the other hand he is not the sort of man to urge his nomination at the hands of the Democratic party unless he feels that the people Of the city want him. No matter how politi- cally ambitious he may be, he would not go against the wishes of the pco- pie whom, no matter how they feel, he believes he represents.
 IL may be said positively that today Angelo Paoncssa does not know whether or not he will seek the office of mayor again. And it may be said positively that his hesitation comes, not from sense Of lessening of q keen desire 10 serve people well. but rather from question as 10 whether or not people believe he has served them well,
 The Herald stated when he became mayor that he would make a good mayor unless he was too much inc fiuenced by i'll chosen advisers. As far as we can see, and as far as We have seen, Paonessa has escaped these rocks He has been a good mayor, and the members of the Republican majority or the council are the last to intimate that he has been influenced by per- sonal ambition. They as well as mem- bers of his party are convinced that he has done his honest best. He, Pa onessa. wants to know, it is our belief. If his best is good enough for the peo- pie of the city.

STEADY STREAM OF
 PEOPLE PASS BIER
Thousands Of Children Also Pay
 Homage to Lenine

 Moscow, Jan. 2i.--The great pro- cession before the bier of Leninc in the house of unions continued today. From , o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the doors of the columned hall were opened, until after midnight the wide square on which the building fronts saw a constantly swelling mass of humanity outlined against the snow with which all Moscow is blank eted.
 In the early hours Of the morning the crowd dwindled, but it was still deep enough to keep tho soldiers and police actively engaged in marshalling the line entering the hall. and carly this afternoon it had again swelled to it's former proportions. Excellent or der was maintained and the guards were able to direct the people with only whispered words, but at one time last night it was so great that several persons were reported to have been injured.
 Among the mourners today were thousands of children from the schools and other institutions. some of taem so tiny that they had to stand cn tiptoe to view the waxen face of the dead premier when they reached the catafalque.
 No church bells have tolled as yet in Lenine's memory: but they will probably ring out on the day of the funeral, as the holy synod has for mally adopted Archbishop Evdokin's suggestion that Lenine be declared a Christian. The synod sent letter to President kalinin Of the All-Russian central executive committee, express ing sympathy in the death of the great liberator." the tribute conclud- ing: Eternal memory and eternal peace to your long suffering. good and Christian soul"

The Public Utilities commission may be partially actuated by consideration of the income and disbursement statements of the com- pany in granting liberties to the com pany which il would not to jitney oprotors.
 But, if fares on the lines should be suddenly jumped, to say one dollar, there would be far fewer riders on the cars, ik would be too expensive. The slight jump in rates now is protested again. as the expense goes up the public will gradually ease to ride in greater and greater numbers. The point is coming when trolleys will be too great a luxury to afford, which has already happened on the Arch street line in this city and then--cXit trolley.

SUSPECTS IDENTIFIED
Three Men Arrested at White Plains Picked Out as Robbers Of r. R. Mayer Estate al Sfockbridge.

White Plains, \. F., Jan. 24-Three or the five men arrested yesterday ss they drove a liquor laden motor truck through Bedford village were identi- fled today by William samson, super intendeBt of the F. I;.

 All five of the prisoners are held on charges of violating the Sullivan law. as all were armed. Msssachu- srfts policemen arc expected .here fe- day with extradition papers.

THE TROLLEY SITUATION

Speculation as to the final outcome Of the trolley company as a unit in transportation is easily brought about by the present situation in regards to fares on the cars that are being oper- ated on the public streets, through the franchise of the public. An increase in the cost of a trip is announced by the company. fought by the public and. in the present instance at least, eventually goes through. irrespective of whether the public wishes it or not. The company's argument is easy to follow. It must pay expenses if it is 10 continue to operate. The pablic's counter argument is that it is too ex- pensiye to travel via trolley; and is getting more so. Thus if goes. thus it will probably continue to go until the expense Of trolley travel is actually too great whereupon the trolley will cease 10 be. And it will not be at all surpris- ing were this to come 10 pass within a very few years.
 The Herald has always been, and will continue to be, in favor of the cheapest possible trolley transporta- tion facilities for those who cannot eficiently use other than the trolleys. The public. also. even that part Of it which does not habitually use the trolleys. rather resents the seeming ease with which fares are boosted against the popular clsmor. After all the companies have been given the right to run their vehicles through the streets by the people-and the peo- pie seem to have nothing whatever to say about the amount that shall be paid for a ride. This. alone, arouses a spirit of resentment that does the companies no good. if it does not &C., fually harm them.
 President Storrs, in a communicat- ed to the Herald, explained the com pany's attitude. to the effect that the income would not be sufficient to operate the cars under the rate of fares now in existence. He is proba- bly, right, he undoastedly thinks he is right he Is too good business man

that he considers it his business alone, where he shall work in the road, while as a matter Of fact, the motorist is thinking only of the safety of such pedestrian.
 Of course the chief aim of the con fernce should be to get uniformity of law so that a motorist going from one state to another may know how to properly observe the rules of the road. And in this connection Com mission Stoeckel may well remind the other commissioners that, in spite of the terrible death toll being taken in this state, the percentage of fatal ac- cidents has decreased in the last three years.

ITALY COMMENTS
Press Has Considerable to Say Ancnt British Proposals For Payment of Italian Debts to Her.

Rome, Jan. 24. --- The newspaper Messaggero: commenting today on th- recent pronounccment of the council of the association of British Chambers of Commerce in favor of payment Of the Italian and French debts to Great Britain, says it is significant that the pronounccmcnt was made at the moment when the labor govern ment was about to be initiated.
 Labor has always supported mod crated policy, even financially, toward the Nanqulshed nations, especially Germany, the newspaper says, anc might be expected to show at least equal moderation toward the Allies" The newspaper says the debt claim is symptomatic of an economic nation- alism, "rigidy and exclusively defend ing British interests in contradiction Of the policy Of European reconstruc- ton and economic solidarity some times attributed to England"

MOTOR LAWS

Today grievances against the motol
 vehicle laws and regulations Of ter
 states are being heard at a public hearing held by the subcommittee o' the Eastern Conference Of Motoi Vehicles administrators in New Yorl city. IL is said any conservative criti. eisn of motor vehicle law administra. tions in the New England states and others will be needed.
 The commissioner of this state was partially reasonable for the formation of this conference. and is to be com mended for his action. Uniformity in the laws and regulations in the vari- ous states certainly is to be desired and il can come in no way other than through action such as this. The con- ference can not. Of course, alter the state laws. but it can learn something of the general feeling of satisfaction with or protest against the laws as they are now.
 The general feeling in this part of the country is not against the theory of the motor vehicle laws as much as it is against the way those laws arc violated by motorists. There are a few matters that might well come to the attention Of the conference. such as the adoption of some rule regarding the dimming or not thinning of lights at night II would seem, also., that this conference could recommend to the various states. some method Of impressing upon pedestrians the ne- cessity of walking on the left hand side of the road at night. and not placing themselves in positions of danger where a driver. coming up from behind them with dimmed lights, is utterly unable 10 see them and in danger Of running down anyone walk ing on his side of the highway. This danger has been emphasized many times in these columns. and it ap- pears that some heed is being taken of the warning given. i.ut in some in- stances where motorists have taken the trouble to stop and speak with a pedestrian walking on the wrong side Of the road. such pedestrian has seemed to consider the thoughtful ness Of the driver as an insult. He. the pedestrian. has showed plainly

THOSE WHO KNOW

1 Once in a while a person feels | strongly on matter and expresse: l himself in no undecided terms with
 out looking into the details. It is pleasant to get substantiation from unquestionable sources. There are some details that it is almost impossi- -ble to obtain with malice afore- ! thought"
 Recently the opinion was here eX-
 pressed that it was quite wrong to put wet blanket on the enthusiasm of those experts in matters of air nayiga-
 tion who are looking forward to talk ing that flight over the North Pole. Today we are in a position to say
 authoritatively that those who will
 man the Shenandoah look upon that
 trip as the greatest joy ride in the
 history of the world" They have ab-
 solutely no fear and the thought of
 personal danger has not entered their
 heads. They may not be inspired by
 an overmastering desire, even, to add
 to the wealth of the world by bring
 ing new information about that un-
 explored country. The trip will be
 something in their line, and they
 consider it as much a part of the
 days work" as we consider our daily
 duties.
 And it is with this new light upon
 the subject that one is tempted to re-
 peat the idea formerly expressed.
 Were it not for people like this who, assuming no heroic attitude, are eager to go on as far as possible in the things they know about and inter est themselves in. the world would be today where it was a century ago, Improvement does not come by acci- dent, but rather because men go out and try to bring improvement, pre- pairing themselves for it and meeting any chance to carry on" whenever that chance presents itself. The men who will man the Shenandoah when it takes it's trip over the top of the world" will do so without making their wills without drawing long faces and without any thought that there will be unusual personal danger in- volvcd.
 coue has told us a great deal about the power of suggestion. We may be- lieve he carries his theory too far, or we may agree with him in every par ticular. The fact remains, at any rate, l that if q person believes he can not | accomplish something set for him to | do, he will make a poor fist Of it. | And conversely, if a person believes | he will be able to accomplish some- | thing easily. the chances are that he | will accomplish 1t and think little Of | he achievement. The Shenandoah | men are absolutely sure that trans portation through the air by meanstof lighter than air craft Is inevitable. They believe they will make a suc- ,essful trip, and those who discourage | his or any other similar activity will | merely be blocking progress along ,ne of the lines the possibilities Of which are just beginning to be seen.
