CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM is
COMMENDABLE

A newspaper \ thich has the bold
ness to point out evil and unhealthy
conditions of any community is doing
that community a kindness which u.s.
ually finds favor with it's population.
Fawning to trade, business, or political
combinations often encourages those
evils that result in epidemics. Con-
structive criticism tends to correct
existing evils-and anyway encour-
ages healthy growth. Public opinion
will not excuse newspapers for laxity
in overlooking law enforcement, or
those things which are detrimental
to growth and prosperity of the com
munity in which they are published
Publishers who close their eyes to
existing public evils for fear of hurt
ing trade or business may find favor
with commercial interests, but those
interests are not always paramount
The great body of the people and pop
ulatiOn of city are too often ignored
by an overzealous effort in behalf OF
business. Publicity always forces
the issue on public matters

SANTA FEE HELPING FARMERS

The Santa Fe, in common with
other carriers, has been cooperating
with the U. S. Employment Bureau,
by putting on reduced rates for farm
hands, the basis being about one-haIf
the normal rate. The results have
been most gratifying in Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Texas. It was
the consummation of sincere desire
to aid the farmers. A similar expert

repeal of the federal estate tax. Mr..
Green returned to Washington to pre-
part for his committees hearing on
tax questions, which will begin Octo-

Mr.. Green said he considered it i'm
portant that the tax on estates should
be uniform throughout the country, SC
that men of large wealth might not
find it advantageous to establish resi-
dence in a state where an Inheritance
tax was not imposed.
He felt he favored a reduction of
surtaXes to a maximum of % per cent,
or even less, and wanted to see some
sort of cut in normal taxes. He op-
posed the repeal of the gift tax.

MY SECRET AMBITION

WHOEVER we are or whatever we
are, we all cherish or have cher
iShed some secret ambition
AS boy, had the great desire to
be a railroad engineer The joy of
having the great engine under my con-
troll, the feeling of power and the rapid
motion of the train all stirred me-
remember today with thrill the SEN
sation had when Ike Steele let me
climb up into the cab of his engine and
handle the levers
AS | grew older my ambition
changed, and / decided that l should
like most to be doctor. Doctor Trip
lett seemed to me to have the most
delightful time in life. He had pleas
ant office in town, he drove a beauti-
full sorrel horse to his sulky when he
went into the country, and he got two
dollars and half visit just for driv-
ing out three or four miles and back
and feeling fathers pulse and looking
at his tongue. 1t seemed to me easy
money.
Just recently I have thought that
since l lack the scientific training to
be plumber, l should like to be
janitor. / should like to see if l could
not occasionally put the waste-paper
basket where the occupant of the of
flee could reach it conveniently when
he wanted to throw something into it.
| should like to get all the pussy will
lows" out of the corners, brush the
cobwebs down from the ceiling, and,
just for once, dust off the rounds of
the chairs. I'd like to see if l could
not pull down the window shades even
ly, fill the ink well without getting ink
all over the desk, and replace the
pens which have been IN the holders
since the Office building was erected.
When spring came I'd wash the win
dows and open one or two every morn
ing before the boss came in to give
him little fresh air and keep him in
q good humor. When the radiator got
out of order, I'd have it fixed before it
leaked all over the floor and took the
finish off.
I'd try to enjoy doing these things,
for I should want to be the best jani-
tor on the job, and I'd like to feel that
the offices l was taking care of were
the cleanest, best looking going.
Maybe I'll try it some day when /
lose my present job.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
AT LEGION MEETING
Makes Plea for Peace and
Abandonment of Racial
Hotreds.

Omaha, Neb.-A plea for peace, for
the abandonment of racial hatreds, be-
ginning at home, and for treaties of
accord and limitation of ornaments
rather than any effort to attain Sc
curity by larger and more extensive
military establishment marked Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge's. address to the
American Legion convention.
Peace will not be attained by efforts in
peace time to build armies or navies suf-
fcient to defeat any possible enemy,
the President told the LegionnaireS.
While there was no reference to any
existing circumstances and only the
faintest connection between his adj
dress and recent controversies over the
military and naval organizations, some
protested to see in his statement that
ANY organization of men in the mill
tary service bent on inflaming the pub
lie mind for the purpose of forcing
government action through the pres
sure of public opinion is an exceeding
ly dangerous precedent" hint of the
Presidents view of the aircraft con-
troversy.
National d-fense should at all
times be supported, but any steps in
the direction of militarism should be
avoided"
The Presidents address was the big
feature of the first day of the Legion's
convention and was heard by 5000
iTtn 4h
ium.
President Coolidge declared himself
in favor of a selective service law in
the event of any future war which
would enable the drafting of both men,
money and materials. He deplored the
enormous cost of the World war in
lives, but declared that there have
been spiritual gains rising therefrom
which are becoming more apparent as
time goes on.
After praising the patriotism and the
service of the men who engaged in the
war, he went on to say that the effect
of war is to create intolerance. When
the war is past, he declared, no time
should be lost in returning to a more
normal frame of mind. He added that
varying viewpoints and differences of
Judgment furnish healthy clash of
ideas He pleaded for tolerance, not
only for minorities, but for differences
in races and religions.
1T seems clear that the real gains
of the war will be lost and we shall
only be entering a period Of prepara-
ton for another conflict, unless we can
demobilize the racial antagonisms,
fears, hatreds, and suspicious and
create an atmosphere of tolerance in
the public mind for all the peoples of
the EARTH" he said.

Sees Doom of Electric
Roads Unless Giuen Aid

Atlantic City, N. 1--WE are not
crying help the railways but we do
say that without coordination and
cooperation from the public and the
authorities they cannot continue to
exist except as municipal undertake
ings and only by increasing the gen.
eral tax roll. To have public trans
portation cease means decreased val
ues in every other kind of prosperity,
public and private alike. The problem
is one that cannot be solved by rail-
way management alone The public
and its representatives must lend a
helping hand or the industry in many
localities is doomed"

portation in the United States was
thus epitomized by B. G. Cobb Of New
York in an address before the Ameri-
can Electric Railway association in

GREEN FOLLOWS
GOMPERS' POLICY
President of A. F. of L. AssuiIs
Use of Injunctions in
Labor Disputes.

Atlantic City, N, J.-OrganiZed labor's
determination TO fight for passage of
the child labor amendment to the Con-
stitution was the high note of the
maiden address of President William
Green before the American Federation
of Labor at the opening of the forty
fifth annual convention. 1t was the
FIRST time in more than a quarter of a
century that a person other than the
late Samuel Gompers had presided
over a national convention.
The audience found much to ap-
plaud in time-honored policies of the
federation as enunciated by Mr..
Green, such as opposition TO court in
functions in labor cases, but when he
shouted 1--WE have just commenced to
fight for the children of America"
there was an enthusiastic demonstra-
ton.
Of court injunctions in labor cases,
Mr.. Green said:
1T is not our purpose to attack the
institutions of our government. We
love our government; We love Amer
lea; we love its history and it's tradi-
tions. What we complain of is the
abuses of the government and as the
representatives of a great army of
American citizens we claim the right
to criticize the usurpation of power
by any institution created under our
form of government"
He said it was the purpose of the
federation to carry on the struggle
for social justice to which the work
ers are entitled and to organize in
every city, town, and village on the
continent
The executive council presented it's
annual report, showing gain Of 49,
OOO in membership over last year.
Mention was made of opposition to
company unions" and it was recon-
mended that unions contemplating
banking undertakings proceed with
great caution.
Opposition again was expressed to
communists.
