"Life is ShOrt-Tell the Truth"

BigOtry.
In Oregon Protestant partisans, be-
ing in majority, have passed law
eliminating parochial schools. The act
is now being reviewed by the Supreme
court of the United States.
In AlSace-Lorraine the Catholic
church authorities are resisting efforts
Of the French government to secular
ize the schools, making them public
instead of clerical.
The fight one place is as bitter as
in the other.
tt seems to us that bigotry when in
the saddle, is not a province of race
or creed but rather an element of hui
man nature. Most of us would be big
OTIS if the restraints around US and
the sense of fair play did not inter
yene.

Economy.

Economy.
The trouble with the president is
that he is too far removed to get the
real sentiment of the people and has
to depend on the false premises of his
intimates. Else he would have insisted
on further postal department economy
before signing the bill boosting post
office salaries.
The Herald has no objection to pos
tai employees receiving more salaries
but we shudder at needless waste. A
little town like this has about as much
use for three mail carriers as it would
have for three mounted policemen
Granted that the men earn their money
it is also fact that the majority of
the patrons are perfectly willing to
come up town and get their mail and
carry it home.
Multiply Lancaster by about 10000
other small towns in the country "en-
ioying' local postal delivery and you
find one of the biggest causes of waste
in the department.

Forward or backward-we build or

Sterility.
About thirty years ago a diabolical
creed obtained vogue among young
American couples. 1t consisted OF
race suicide and making mockery OF
honest parentage. All sorts of glib
excuses were offered for failure to be
fathers and mothers. AS rule the mo-
tive behind was a selfish one.
Today lot of these couples who
voluntarily embraced sterility would
give all their possessions for child
to lean on in the old age now close at
hand.
Happily change is with us. II
seems that parentage is again the
vogue and race suicide something to
be sneered at. We need more of this

Trust.

Trust.
AS a person gets older and begins
to get a glimpse of the real values in
human life it seems to him that break
ing a trust imposed is the cardinal
sin, the crime par in excelsis.
A man trusts you with his money
when he gives you work to do with
no price set. The one worthy of a
trust is particularly careful to see
that the price when rendered is even
more fair and reasonable than if
there had been bid. This is just one
illustration.
But even more important than a
money trust is trust in honor and
faith. When a person skaters an ideal
in our hearts he kills something good
in us-our faith in the nobility OF
human kind.
In the dark watches of the night
when each of us is face to face with
his real self, the trusts we have brok-
en-, the faiths we have shattered come
back to haunt us more than all the
other wrong things we ever did.
God help us-we say-not to break
more trusts.

Search and Seizure.

An inspired editorial writer on the
State Journal naively comments that
ruling by Judge Taft to the effect
that search and seizure can go on
any time and any place an officer is
satisfied the law is being broken, will
ALLEVIATE the support for the liquor
law of many citizens who do not ap-
prove of too rigorous and too sweep
ing a search.
The child-minded editorialist of the
Journal has stumbled onto an impor-
tant element of human nature. We
are all willing to have the law APP
piled vigorously to others but do not
wish the search light on ourselves.
In other words the average wet
who is supporting the law still hank
ers after drink and hopes all ports
are not closed to his hail.

Dirty Politics.

Every once in a while some one sol
emnly assures us that politics is a
dirty business and one that no decent
man will concern himself in. And in
a way he is right.
But admitting politics is dirty who
is to blame? No one but the average,
good, decent citizen who expresses
his contempt at government and then
bowls to high heaven because gov
eminent is rotten and taxes are high.
Politics, dirty or clean, is the most
important business in the world. 1t
means government and that means
control of nearly every human activ-
ity. Until good citizens drop their
lofty and contemptuous attitude
toward politics and get in the game
with their sleeves rolled up to i'm
prove things, we may expect but lit
tie change.

Waste.

Waste. N
A string picker and paper saver
once told the writer that he did not
conserve little things because he was
penurious or stingy The fact is, he
said, 81 abhor waste" Because he
hated to see perfectly good materials
wasted and thrown away, he saved
in little and often odd ways. AS he
was surrounded by profigate MASTERS
it kept him pretty busy picking things
up after them.
This man was not penurious or
stingy He would give royalty when
the occasion merited. He travelled,
saw life and by honest and hard work
did his share toward building his com
munity. But because he was frugal
and careful MASTERS who didn't have
a dime liked to dub him ''stingy."
Our national crime is waste. Every
body knows it. What goes into our
slop barrels would feed a European
family we'll. A few more savers like
our friend would be a good thing for
all because everybody pays their
share of things that are wasted and
thrown away. Make no mistake about
it, waste gets back into the cost of
living for all of us.

CredO.

CredO.
In all this world of conflicting
creeds it seems to me there is one
creed outstanding and important.
Metaphysicians could work this out
and elaborate it into an ornate struc-
ture for thousands to believe in and
build upon. But the elements are
simple, plain and satisfying.
When we do something good we
build. When we do something wrong
we tear down. When we do something
dishonest, mean or low we set the
progress of the whole, human race
back an infinitisemal notch.
When we achieve a moral victory
or become capable of an act of sub
lime generosity the angels rejoice. The
progress of human kind is set for
ward a notch.
When we utter pregnant truth ev-
en- at personal sacrifice we build.
When we lie, evade or use subterfuge,
we add to the mass of untruth in the
world and add our bit to the tearing
down.
Forward and backward swings the
pendulum of human destiny. Positive

rotates the axis of time.

VELIE DESIGNER
WANTS WIDER
STREETS
Asserts Municipal zoning Now
Should Be Designed for Flu
ture Traffic Needs

Immediate relief from city and
highway traffic problems can be
secured by a progressive street and
highway widening program" is the
opinion of H. c.. Snow, chief engi.
neer Of VeIie Motors Corporation.
Highways built to accommodate
$500 motor vehicles per twenty four
hours are now being used by 49,
900 motor cars in the same period
Of time in many instances.
City streets constructed in the
day Of horse-drawn carriages must
serve a motoring public several
hundred times as large.
Naturally there are many i'm.
portant city thoroughfares which
cannot be widened at the present
due to the fact that the present
building line will not permit.
A zoning plan which will restrict
all new building to a certain dis
lance from the center of the street
will afford relief in the future and
is an urgent need which should be
recognized by all municipal gov
eminent. This would make pos
sible charging streets to meet the
future increase in traffic and would
also tend to beautify a city.
1t is an assured fact that the
traffic situation will not be better
unless present governments build
and plan with the future in mind.

The Buick plan has been to
strengthen itself as it went along.
1t is hardly to be expected that q
man would buy a Buick car simply
because Of its fine appearance. Yet,
we know that a fine appearance Is
very desirable in a motor car.
Buick Has Plan.
Neither would the Buick be chosen
because of its easy riding spring
suspension-its perfect acting clutch
its sturdy frame or any one OF the
countless points in which it excelS'
But taken all together, these are
the units that go to make up a per-
fectly balanced whole. which is, af-
ter all, the definition OF true service
ability.
So at the automobile shows you
will find the Buick the basis for
comparison for q large percentage
OF the visitors, particularly those
who have had, experience with sew
eral makes of cars, including the
Buick. They have learned in their
miscellaneous driving the value Of
strength here, OF lightness there, Of
power, of flexibility and economy.
They know that these features all
bear a certain definite relation t.,
each other, and that correct design,
manufacturing ability and expert
ence are all necessary to produce
cars in which this relation is uni
formly preserved.
The Buick has become firmly fixed
in their minds as the car which has
developed along these
lines over period OF many years.
