"YOTRSELF IN HIS PLACE"

Charles Read", popular English writer, gave to one Of his works the admonition, Put Yourself in His l Place" The other day in this city one
 of our clergymcn. Dr. George W. C. i IIill stressed the point that if people
 were to use their maginations to put l themselves: in the place of those less 1 fortunate and to act as they would 1 have others act under same circum- i stances, the world would be reyolu-
 tionized. He is quoted as having said: ''Ir the change Christmas makes in our hearts for 9 few weeks of the year
 could be continued throughout the en- tire year it would h" wonderful thing"
 Ii is moro than two months since
 Christmas spirit made the world joy GUS. People did think Of others. and
 while the givcrs of gifts had q certain amount of selfish enjoyment out of making others happy. this selfishness was of the highest sort and the re- cipients profited by ii. But. startling as it may seem. the giyers were the happier. The cynic will say that is why they continue to give. Psyeholo- gists reduce every action to one in- spired by selfish motives. The good are good simply because they would be unhappy were thsy to he bad. It is no credit, they saI to the naturally good to refrain from wrong doing The generous deserve no praise because they give freely: giving brings them pleasure, and this is the sole motive for their generosity.
 There is much truthin this attitude, and it may well be dismissed with the conclusion that it is good thing for the world that such sort of generosity exists even though it is inspired by the best form of sellishness.
 But putting yourself in the other fellows place is something else again. It silences the critical tongue when | the inspiration is to criticize. It impels | one to be fair in ones judgments. It 1 is, in sum, the best way to treat others fairly, and. by the same token, it is the | most difficult thing for us to do.
 For some years now the Herald has urged. at Christmas time. that the spirit of Christmas be allowed to pre- vail throughout the year, The other day Dr. Hill voiced the same senti- ment, and it is well that we do this often in order that q generous spirit may prevail. But as Dr. Hill added that other thought. Put yourself in the other fellows place." so now if adds to the understanding Of the Christmas spirit and glorifles if by showing practical way of making fife happier for everyone. At this time when it seems as though few are linking Of others, and most people lre too busy to discuss these matters he emphasizing of such ideals is worth while.

MORE THAN 50 MILLION
 DOLLAR LOAN REPORTED
Morgan Interests Said to Be IArrang, ing Financial Aid For
 French Govt,
Sv the Assnciatnd Press.

By the Associated Press.
 Paris, March 12.-The rise of the French franc in the exchange market yesterday and today is attributed to information in financial circles that the Bank of France has concluded d
 large loan with New York interests represented by J. r. Morgan and Co This is reported to be much more than q banking transaction however for although the Bank of France is arranging the afiair it is declared to be in reality doing it for the French government. The advances are un- derstood to be far beyond the s50,- 000,000 mentioned In the earlier lS- port.
 The arrangement it is stated, in- cludes a constructive plan for French finances in tho future and does not consist merely Of temporary financial assistance.
 The Bank of France likewise is entering into an arrangement with n London group for loan of q lessor amount.
 Optimism over the situation was maintained today tho belief growing that the franc had turned the cor ner. If is felt. especially by the in- itiated. that the government had real ized that the fiscal measures under way may not in themselves be suffi- cient to stem the downward tide Of tho national finances, and that it will resort to all other measures likely to help.
 The assurance is given by Finance dc 1.asteyrie to the finance of the chamber of deputies that he will consolidate the floating debt as soon as an opportunity is presented.

RIGHTS IN STREETS

An attorney for the Connecticut company, speaking at the hearing yesterday regarding the protests over increased trolley fares, declared that the people seemed to take ii for grant ed that the utilities companies had no rights at all. or words to that effect. He said:
New Britain herald., 1924-03-12


 ly intrenched in the constitutions
 Of the United States aud Of this state and in decisions Of the su- 1 prcme courts Of the United States and of this state. Furthermore.
 these rights have been recognized l and established in q very large number of decisions by the com missions of the several states.
 All this is very true. But the at- torney is neither correct nor wise in | mputing gross ignorance to the pco- pic. It is rather insulting to people of ordinary intelligence 10 have said of them, as he said: Tt probably has individuals who protest against utility rates that the company has any rights whatever"
 This is the sort Of language which, coming from a man who speaks for tho Connecticut company. antagonizes residents Of the state who use the troll leys and who would use them were the policy Of tho company to be a little more considcrate Of the people. snch statements aggravatc the pco- pie: they would aggraHatc any in- tclligcnt man. When one is accused Of feeling that a great corporation has no rights at all. ono is accused of pos scssing the mind of an imbecile.
 We all know that utility companies have rights. We all know that the public utilities commission of this state has shown us very plainly that the Connecticut company has rights and then some. Yes, we are fully con- yinced that the Connecticut company has rights. and yet wc protest against the fare increase.
 But putting aside this question of antagonizing the people instead of try- ing ts obtain their good will by pre- senting tho company's case in little different language. we wonder if the learned attorney noted the decision of the United States Supreme Court re- gently referred to in these columns to the effect that thh rights Of utilities company in tlte streets was not an in- hercat right. but was. rather. a priyi- Iege granted to il by the people.
 An interesting decision. that. and founded on sound sense and reasoning It Is worth noting by the attorneys for the company.

There are some people who have "single-track minds" always. Never are they able to leave one subject until it is entirely exhausted. Most of us have times when our minds too, become single. e.tracked." Just now we are inclined 10 give ourselves almost nnreserrcdly to politics Politics in this city Is an absorbing topic for many, others can discuss nothing but the Washington scandals and investiga- tions. We arc all like that to a cer- tain degree. It's a bad habit to get into; once recognized, however, half the light against indulging in it is won.
