COOLIDGE'S ATTITUDE ON WORLD COURT

The passage in the Presidents iu- sugural address which suggested a reflection of strong emotion when it was written referred 10 the World Court.
 Phrases like, i've ought not to withhold our own sanction because Of any small and inesscntial differ ence, i've ought 10 engage in no reinements of logic, no sophistries and no subtorfuges to argue away the undoubted duty of this country" by dint of our leadership in the world we should actively and com prehensiyely to signify it's approval and bear its full share of the respon- sibility of candid and disinterested attempt at the establishment of 8 tribunal for the administration of even-handed justice between nation and nation"
 Which led up to the resounding phrase:
 "The weight of our enormous in- fuence must be cast upon the side of a reign not of force but of law and trial, not by battle but by req son."
 The President repeated in strong CT language his previous advocacy of the World Court, as Mr. Harding had done before him. Attempt at adhesion in the World Court, therc- fore, can be accepted as being an administration policy of prime im- portance.
 The House of the 6Sth Congress stood foursquare with the President upon the matter, having approved our adherence to the protocol es- tablishing the World Court by q ma iority of sol to 2S. only in the Senate has there been wayering.

CATERING TO VISITORS
 IN NEW YORK

Nothing succeeds in New York like the hotel business, with the theatcr business running neck and neck. Another enormous hotel is 10 be constructed and two more thea ters.
 All or which, is additional evi- dence of how the transient popula- tion Of from 2j0,O00 10 400, 900 as- sists in "buil1ing up the city" Ma tive New Workers arc fond of imag- ming that they are responsible for the city's undisputcl paramountcy as an amusement center; but the harasscd New Yorker who is briskly engaged in hustling for livelihood, with most of his time taken up in so doing - even as the fellow living in Kalamazoo or kankakee doesn't spend any moro time amusing himself than the average citizen elsewhere. He g'ts tired at the end of a busy day and likes his sleep, just like the rest Of US. It is the visiting brethren from tho sticks who keep the ho- tel industry and the thcatcr indus try at top notch in the great metro polls, anl not the local burghcr.
 The several hundred thousand transient visitors who are domi- cilcd in New York every day in the year keep the high life cauMrom boiling. Most of them are present "ou business" but it makes a diff ference when one is in New York on business and when one is at- tending 10 business at homo. The main busineSs of visitor in New i ork io 10 have a good time. That IS why New Workers are constantly constructing new hotels and new theaters. The visiting buyer from kcokuk or South Bend, having set back the firm $l00 in getting there ! in style beftting its dignity and im- portancc, is not 10th 10 buy as many SC seats as time permits - which is every night while in town. The native New Yorker, unless he is one Of the idle bourgeois, is content with the rear-end and loss costly seats or fills the film temples.
 Catering 10 tourists is New York's greatest industry; and the best technique O. the town is to make suckers of them an Which isn't horrible To contemplate in the least, as the first inclination ot a tourist in New York is 70 make a fool or himself so long as his money lasts.

INAUGURAL TALK
 TONE IS HOPEFUL
British Press Sees American h.
 tereSt in European Affairs

London. March 5.-While most ot the English newspapers devoted much space today to President Coo lidge's inaugural address and yes terday's ceremonies in Washington little comment on the speech has so far appeared, the Liverpool Post and the Manchester Guardian alone among the great dailies discussing editorially Mr. Coolidge's utterances.
 Both these newspaper find in the presidents words the promise of a continued and growing American in- terest in world affairs. They con- sider his re-statement of belief in the need of American adhesion to the world court, and his references to the hope that international con- fercnces may occur at frequent in- tervals," of outstanding importance 10 Europe. 3
 The Liverpool Post sees in the address the determination of the president to make his personal in- flucnce felt. and declares: Tn that event he may be expected to take energtiC steps toward his schemes for disarmament conferences and for securing Americas adherence to the protocol, establishing the inter- national court of justice" the presi- dents chief troubles will probably ne with the senate. the newspaper thinks, but it concludes that body may be more tractable to his wishes )'.om l; Was when the strong if not t"D "'strrly good sense of Secrc- tary Hughes was understood to in spire the presidents attitude ou foreign policy and related topics.
 The Manchester Guardian pays tribute 10 the presidents '"lcvcl- headedness" and "his refusal 10 be hustled either by big business with an axe to grind or by the wilder sort of isolationist."

Washington, March 5.-Forccast for southern New England: Cn- settled, probably rain tonight and Friday. Colder Friday; fair 10 strong northeast winds
 Forecast for eastern Now York; Unsettled tonight and Friday; prob- ably rain; colder in north portion tonight; fresh to strong northeast winds.

state control over this species of in, terstato business, left the impress sion that such control Is vested in the governments; but the husses are new development and tho lntor- tate Commerce Commission is said not to possess definite power for such regulation it deemed dcsir- able.
 IL reminds somewhat Of an inci- dent 20 years ago when motorcycles vicd with the few automobiles then in use for popularity, A citizen of parts, who now hustlcs around in a more or less high-powered car, bought one ot the newfanglcd two- wheeled brn2inc scorpions and was arrested for speeding. When brought 10 a police station the august or- nccrs of the law thumbcd the city ordinances and the law books for an hour and could find no mention oS speeding on motorcycles being against the law. In fact, motor cycles were not even mentioned. Knowing the meticulous care with which justice insisted on every al- legged infrLction Of the law being specifically stated and the specific law violated being cited the officers had to abandon the charge and substitute one of disordcrly con- duct.
 Tho interstate bus business finds itself in the same condition of un- controlled latitude. Congress will have to give the !. C. C. authority to control them, but by the time this unwieldy body discusses, de- bates and acts upon the matter the interstate bus business will have advanced 10 a point where the un- scrambling process of regulation and control will be most difficult, If not undesirable.
 Meanwhile officials of the rail- roads and the trolley companies affected will form futuristic chorus whose main function will be 10 sing dirges and funeral music, while tho bus owners will join a slee club.

\ Seal Story

By Dr. Walter E. Traprock
 One of my most profitable ad- ventures was when, as a young man, was prospecting among the vast salt deposits Of southern Russia.
 These lie at a level considerably lower than that Of the nearby Cas- plan, sea, During the course of a severe storm the Caspian broke its bounds and flowed into q salt bed which l had just stakcd out. With the rushing waters came countless fish. Two weeks later my temp>r- ary lake had seeped away or evap- Orated, and l found its bed filled with every imaginable kind of fish, ajrcady salted and ready to mar ket.
 The knowledge that they would keep indefinitely made me careless, and l delayed too long. During the heavy fall rains the nearby Tchika river oycrfoWed it's banks, swept into my saltery and carried most of my fish into the Caspian. But this ironic trick Of Fate was not the end. Not far out in the Cas- rian, at the point where the river flood boiled into the sea, was g reef dcnscly populated by seals.
 They fell gluttonously upon my fish, gorged themselves to repletion and died miserably Of thirst by the hundreds. What l had lost in the fish business I made up a hundred fold in my harvest of seel-skins.
 
 Hcre Dr. Traprock paused, and there was twinkle in his eye which suggested that we were, per haps, 10 take his seal story with 8 grain Of the salt with which it SC proftably started. - Editor)

LINOTYPE OPERATORS
 AND ENGLISH

The men who make and break the English language nowadays are the linotype operators, aided and abetted by proofreaders who get tired of making technical corroc- tions which sometimes are not technically corrected.
 Capitalization in the news col 'umns - or the lack Of it has been almost entirely dominated by the convenience of the typosetters, who nowadays operate a keyboard instead oflpicking type from a case, like the accomplished and learned oid-timers did. Rather than culti- vate rheumatism in an arm by reaching over 10 the capital letter keyboard which is to one side Of the small-lctter keyboard-they would prefer to avoid capital let tcrs altogether If the carcfrec type ticklcrs had their way sentence would look something like this: "prosidcnt coolidge and secretary hughes left washington for q trip down the potomac on the may flower today"
 These ingenious gentry haven't yet reached that point Of utilitarian cf- hcicncy, but the wish and desire is already in existence, Only the fact that proofreaders are not yet en- tircly b"reft of reason nor entirely blind prevents the next important s'op in the docapitation Of copi- talizatlon from taking place The helpless public can expect inc worst almost any day.
 To make a hyphcn sIiIc down tho chnt" of d linotype machine also seems to be aD onerous thing. Some superficial persons think the grow ing lack of hyphcns in print Is due entirely 10 the anti-hy,henated de
 veIopment in the use Of language since the war. Whru, after 1914, the hyPhcn began 10 he dropped from
 Lloyd George, other hyphons also began 10 fall by thc wayside; and although war casualties are safely
 over, Jyphcn casualties continue.
 Entirely new and strange looking i words result. Cno Of the latest 1 recorded Was this: That Madame
 Bernjce de PasQuali was q costar with Caruso in tne Metropolitan 1 Opera company" this being culled from 1T" Boston Transcript.
 You may not know what costar
 is; neither did we until We discov-
 cred that a typ5Settor had coined
 another new word by emitting a 1 hyphcn. Put the hyphcn where it
 used to be and you get "co-star," pcricctIy understandable word.
 which could never be mistaken for
 a coaster or a costcr.

DAWES. FEARLESS TALkER,

 It is evident that during the next four years the pointed tongue of the Vico-Prcsident will let the Senate realize when it is making mistakes.
 The outlook is good The Senate has needed a fearless talker prcsid- ing over it for some time. l. is 10 be hoped that Mr. Dawes humblcs some of the pretensions of certain of the members of that body; and we have faith in Dawes that he will do it ala hellandmaria.
