country the policy Of the prohibition
bureau in respect to conduct of this
kind. Blackguardism cannot be toll
Grated, whether it is on the part of
Federal officers, State officers or
municipal officers. Members of every
branch of the country's law enforce
ment machinery must discharge their
duties with a full recognition of their
responsibilities to the public. This
applies equally to a prohibition agent
and the policeman arresting or stop
ping a traffic offender.
Authority evidently sits i'll on some
men. They become bumptious, loud
mouthed and profane. They are a
disgrace to the department in which
they are employed and are the type
of agents or policemen who are con-
tinually ION the carpet" as trouble
makers.
Gen. Andrews, therefore, has rem
dered real public service by the
stern policy he has adopted and has
set a fine example not only to the
prohibition directors but to the heads
of the various police departments
throughout the United States.

ishment from the courts when they
are caught, as they eventually will
be under the traffic system now pre-
vailing.
One Washington motorist esti-
mates that repairs to tenders. bump
ers, tire rack and lamps on his car
aggregated more than 800 during
the past year. although he has never
had an accident of any kind. This
damage has been caused by the begin
ners of the hit-and-run class. They
have bent his tenders and smashed
head-on into his car and never has
assume responsibility. 1t was only
during the past week that on reach
ing his parked car he found a public
hacker bouncing merrily off his rear
tire rack, not once but several times,
in an effort to shove his emergency
braked car further along to provide
an additional parking space.
This damaging of private. property
on the streets of the city must be
halted. There is no possible excuse
for it, and those who indulge in it
and run away to hide their identity
are no better than common criminals.
In the case of the hacker no appre-
ciable damage was done, yet it most
assuredly is a pernicious practice
practice that in time will lead to
downright criminality.

out organization, disclosed a greater
power than the organization Itself
that grew out of their ministry. The
contagion of a consecrated personality
affects with compelling force not only
communities, but ultimately states
and nations 1t was the sense of per-
sonal responsibility for spreading the
Gospel that impelled these men and
made them kindle fires that have con-
tinued to burn, down through the
centuries.
The conspicuous weakness of the
church today is due to the fact that
men and women largely accept their
religion as little more than a passive
profession of faith. They think of it
in terms of personal habits of de
votion, or the periodical participation
in public worship. In many churches.
apart from the minister himself. there
is little to generate enthusiasm for
a cause, or conservation to a Divine
Savior. The religion of today is
largely inarticulate: membership In
the Christian church is largely per
functory. and is all too frequently &C
cepted as the badge of responsibility.
The recognition of the sovereignty of
Christ or the supreme value of His
teachings Is hindered by form OF
elisciplehood too Indifferent to az
knowledge His Saviorhood before the
world. There Is a kind of religious re
spectabilty that is selfishly insular.
whose virtues constitute no adorn
ment and whose cold Journalism chills
and repels.
If Christianity is to make conquest
of this age, it will only do so by re
viving the method practiced by the
ardent and enthusiastic men who
followed Christ. They had a personal
concern for the well-being of their
fellows; they could not conceive of
salvation as personal possession.
Their faith in Christ grew only as
they exercised it. Their love for Him
was conditioned by their love for their
fellows. In fine. they believed SO
utterly in the indispensableness of
what their Master had taught them
that they could not he silent. The
Salvation Army motto is a fine one.
Saved to Serve" The world &C
knowedges with gratitude the fidelity
of the man or woman who is the
living exponent and persistent propa'
gandist of the thing they believe.

The Despicable Type of Motorist.

The most despica bile type of auto
mobile driver is the motorist who
runs down a pedestrian and hurries
away without a backward glance
This type is doubtless graduated from
the class of drivers who will run
after a collision in which no one was
injured. They. in turn, have been
promoted" from the type who, in
backing or turning. nick the fender
of another car and who deliberately
attempt to use bumpers as showers
in making room for themselves in
small spaces. 1t appears to he a
progressive diseas Sc. first the small
and sometimes deliberate accident,
next the real collision with consider.
able damage to one or both cars, and,
having committed these acts with.
out punishment. the killing or MAIN.
ing Of a pedestrian. When this oc.
ours another of the real hit-and.run
motorists has been born and he takes
his place among the criminal ele.
ment of the community.
There are too many budding
drivers OF this description IN Wash
ington at the present time. They
are IN the despicable class now. and
If they do not check their reckless
and needless tendencies they will

Airplane Tags,

Did you get his NUMBER" That is
the commonplace question now asked
when two automobiles narrowly escape
collision. This same question, how
ever. can soon be shouted at a pilot
by his passenger in an airplane. Ac-
cording to an announcement by the
Department Of Commerce all aircraft
are to be tagged and numbered the
same as automobiles. and steps are
now being taken to bring about this
desirable regulation.
1t is estimated that approximately
Ave thousand machines are now being
flown in this country. As soon as the
tags can be distributed no airplane
will be allowed to take the air. with
out its license number being properly
displayed, unobstructed by bumpers
or tire racks and free from dirt. visi.
BILE from fifty feet in the rear-oh yes,
aircraft and not automobiles are being
discussed, so that a period should
really follow the word "displayed, -
and no attention should be paid to the
rest of the sentence.
1t Is obvious, however, that as the
number Of airplanes increases steadily
decided benefits will accrue from
the new regulation. Airplane traffic Is
now In its infancy. but the time is not
far off when air travel will compare
in its problems with the most con-
gested street traffic of today. 1t is a
wise policy, therefore, to begin the
task Of regulation while it is still a
simple matter, and the first step is
naturally to provide an Identification
tag for every machine.

HE first ffndeth his oun brother."-
st. John, al,
The power df personality is ever
more persuasive than that of argu-
ment. Some one has well said that
the man with an idea has frequently
changed the current of events. An
idea or n ideal to become effective
must find it's interpreter in one who
is the embodiment OF 1t. Repeatedly
a single individual consumed with a
high purpose and gifted with per-
severance has brought about salutary
changes in an entire community All
of us have been Influenced by the
reading of some notable book, that
had as its purpose the reform of con-
ditions that had become intoerable, or
the Inauguration of some beneficent
and high-minded cause.
Harriet Beecher Stoves "Uncle
Toms Cabin produced a profound
impression at the time it was writ
ten and doubtless contributed nightly
to the abolition of slavery, but even
so powerful book as this needed its
exponent, and the exponent was
found in the person Of President Lin
coin. Our age is largely institu-
tionalized. We have come to feel that
the only way to better human con-
ditions is through some we'll conceived
corporate body. Such bodies doubt
less have their large place of useful
ness, but it is worthy of note that, in
the main, their efficiency is largely
determined by a few ardent members,
who In a whole hearted and persistent
way represent in themselves what the
institution stands for.
/, The wonder of the early Christian n
Church is it's amazing growth and
development in the face of seemingly
insuperabe obstacles. It thrived on
persecution, it spread with such
rapidity that within a few centuries
it occupied a place of dominance in
Rome and Athens. The most cursory
study Of this extraordinary period dis
closes the fact that the influence of
the Nazarene was extended through
men and women who were consumed
as with passion for the cause of

Is bedlam--savage growls from the
leader and piercing shrieks from the

in nipping the loose hide on the
breast and side. but the leader is
careful not to take the cuprit by the
throat where real damage might be
done.
After chastisement has heen prop
erly administered the leader resumes
his place. the punished one gets up
and shakes himself. and the driver
takes the handle-ba of the sled and
calls "Mush."
People in Alaska have been expert
