SEEKIN. THE MOTIVE

The law Of gravitation would not b,
 so thoroughly understood as it is to, day If our old friend Ike Newton had
 not wondered why tho apple should 1 fall and hit him on the nose--of
 wherever it was. IL is q lucky thing
 for us that mems habit is to ask and
 find out the why of things. Nobody would Do able 10 fix the motor fl
 somebody before him had not asked
 why it knocked and, finding the why,
 went to work 10 change things so the
 reason for tho knock would not exist. Passing from the engine and similar mechanical devices and considering
 the human body it is well that science
 asked why people got sick and how
 to remove the poisonous reason for
 sickness. They there is the mind. and
 that is a rather intriguing subject.
 study of 1t is the science of psychoio-
 gy and a lot Of matters are hazily ex-
 plsined by tho use of that word which
 is not pronounced the way it is spell
 ed.
 All of which is merely introductory to the real point under consideration, namely. the habit Of people for seek ing the motive for every act of others. Whether or not it is any Of our busi- ness We arc tempted always 10 ask why Tom docs this; why Harry sup ports that measure. or why Dick is habitually singing tho praise Of a eer- tain person. Often inc motive for the actions of Tom, Dick and Harry is plain 10 be seen. We take it for grant cd. In politics, for instance, VIC take it for granted that a republican votes for the republican candidates because lie is republican, and so democrat votes for the democratic candidates. The question or ''why" is raised in politics only when party man votes Tor someone who is not member of h.s party. So in regard to matters moi political. 4 certain person or group of persons arc seen to he deeply com lefnad with the success Of move nent. The people wonder just why i. hey are 20 eager-and many curious mes are terribly disturbed until they . ind that the interested workers for | cause arc paid 10 work for if. or rill gel some patronage ont of it fl 1t ! iins. or that tho third cousin Of inc gorker's wife, four times removed. i'll profit by the movements success.
 Why In the world does John Doe ake that stand ?" is a common ques- lon. Unfortunately we all know Of he deep-laid plais of mice and men Tho are often as small as mice. to ush something through that will ring personal profit 10 them or those or whom they are working. 4 base1y sIiish motive Is often the inspiration ,r great energy.

THE COURTS SANE ACTION

There is nothing inconsistent in the
 action of Chief Justice Wheeler ir
 stating that the supreme court of er-
 TOTS will open its May session in Hart
 ford on Tuesday, May 6, at g a. m instead of 10 a. m. It is true that the highest court of the state recently up- l held the constitutionality of the law
 making standard time on publicly dis 1 played clocks enforceable, and it is
 true that by the recent action the court will adjust its own sittings to the summer habits of majority of the people of the state--a habit aided by the changing the time on clocks. But it will be noted, from the report
 of the incident, that it was not in the former opinion of the court, but
 rather in argument of counsel, that Inc supporters of standard time em-
 phasizes the claim that the statute was aimed against violation in spirit of the standard time laws.
 It is perfectly consistent for court 10 decide that the legislature has right to regulate clocks, as well as other matters within the Jurisdiction of the state of which it is the legis- lative branch. It would be something else again. however, were the court to hold that the legislature had right to interfere with the judicial branch of the state to the extent of regulating the hours during which the could should sit. No court would de- eide that the legislature has the right to do this thing. The court will properly guard jealeusly its own per negatives, one of which is to conduct its own business in affairs of this sort.
 If there was in the minds of the legislators any intention to regulate the hours at which men should rise in the morning and so to bed at night: the hours when men should breakfast, lunch and dine, such intent had bet ter remain a secret in their own con- sciousnesses. It was undoubtedly tho desire on their part to please the rural localities by discouraging as far as possible going to work an hour earlier in the summer than in the winter but when they had passed the law regard ing the public display of clocks they 1 had gone as far in this direction as they could. They can not keep people , from getting mp earlier and going to l work earlier if they want to.
 This action Of the chief justice, |, correctly reported. makes it at once clear that the best opinion shows its total refusal 10 acknowledge human to the man-made clock. As previously stated here many times the clock has nothing to do with day light saving. Tho timepiece was made for man; not man for the timepiece.

zoNING EXPERT TO SPEAK

Attention is called to tho meeting
 next Tuesday evening in the common council chamber when Vice. President Ennis of the Technical Advisory cor poration will speak at meeting of the zoning commission. The work of zoning the city has begun, but no plan has been adopted and the legislature has not yet passed an enabling act which would allow the city 10 go ahead with the work. It might seem that the matter was already settled. but 1t is not. Tavorably ss 1t is viewed at this time, 1t is possible. even proba- bie, that objection will be raised at the last minute because i've haven't had time to think the matter over''- the usual excuse when the time comes 0 take action.
 Ii is for this reason that the Herald wants to emphasize the fact that chances are being given now to the people of the city who want 10 hear more about this matter. 10 do so. There will bs no excuse for them 10 gay that they @hayen't had a chance to learn about it." There will he chance Tuesday evening as there vas a chance weeks ago. The frequent complaints being made nov about the character of certain buildings being put up In localities where some Of the resident make objections. should put us all on notice that a zoninz ordi- ] nance is needed. There would ic nonc of these complaints were zoning 10 Dc established. or 10 modify that state ment, there would Dc d fixed rule to settle all disputes on these matters

and will this save him? Or will some
 enemy of Johns be benefited if ii does not succeed?
 So the taint of hypocrisy is placed upon almost everyone who takes an active part in furthering the chances of successes of anything or anyone. When one takes a stand he risks all sorts of investigations His friends. even, will not be satisfied often until they have discovered whats got into him."
 There is one great error into which these amateur detectives fall. They search all over the place for some ui- terior motive, and it is getting to be more difficult search every day. so great is the cunning of the schemers. But these detectives, in whose scheme of things there is only one sort of motive, namely the selfish one. fre- qnently overlook the one best bet. With noses close to the ground they search for the clues which will lead to the sort of explanation they seek.
 And these detectives may pass right by without seeing it the motive that has inspired John to work for cer- tain capdidate, certain movement. a certain plan. That motive may be clear for all who are not blinded by cynicism, to see plainly. John him. self may have spoken openly of his motive, but no one gave serious heed. For it is quite likely that John had but one motive for supporting man. 6 cause. And that motive was, proba- biy. Johns belief in the man himself, the worthiness of the cause.
 It would hurt none of us, occasion ally, to attribute a love of fair play, of honor, of decency, to others. None of us have a monopoly on righteous ness yet we know We have taken a stand often because we believed it ras the right, splendid stand to take. Admit, once in a while. that other people are doing the same thing.
