Ambassador Herrick

Il was not only the French who loved the late
Ambassador Herrick
Labor. weekly newspaper Of the railroad labor
organizations uses considerable space in its current
issue to describe one of Herricks home jobs which
deserves at least high place any of his diplo
matte services
Herrick a banker in Cleveland when the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was putting up
its first building there. He offered his help, stating
that 4 the brotherhood encountered difficulties or
needed additional funds he would be glad to help
through the funds of the Society for Savings
The brotherhood encountered the difficulties, all
right. Qucksand under the foundation was one of
the first troubles Extra money was needed Herrick
called upon.
Herricks legal advisers in the bank found that the
brotherhood convention had not authorized the
officials to put mortgage on the proposed building.
The bank said these legal advisers. could not lend
the money without mortgage.
Never mind" said Herrick az will advance the
funds personally if you will give me your word that
the next convention will authorize the mortgage"
This was done, and the building went on.
Apparently Ambassador Herrick was not afraid of
trusting his fellow In many instances we know
his faith justified Doubtless there are other
instances Of which we do not know when those he
trusted failed him.
But since such failures did not dim his faith, he
lives on today in the hearts of those who were
fortunate enough to know him.

Free Textbooks

Most important school systems have adopted the
plan of providing free textbooks for the children
Usually this applies only to children attending
grade or junior high schools. Free textbooks in senior
high schools are scarce
Parents at first thought this a great blessing
1t saves them certain number of dollars each school
year for each child But other methods are being built
up to part the family from its dollars
If Little Willie doesn't need a dime or a quarter
or halfdollar to attend some school function the
parents asked to subscribe to school magazine
contribute to school organization or to attend a
social function designed to raise money to assist the
school.
Pianos must be bought for the auditorium rugs
must be bought for the principals Office teachers
must be given valentines and other presents.
Each week something new crops up and the par
ents have become resigned to their fate.
Family budgets, where budgets exist, include ever
increasing items for school expense.
If the parents had to buy the books as well as pay
for the ncdentaS, father might have to give up his
golf and mother her bridge club.
Raising children, of yore, continues to be one
OF life's greatest trials and tribuations

More Than Texas

Cr~f-vlttedness and radiance Of personality are
not the only things that contributed to the acquittal
Of Texas Guinan Nor was it necessary for twelve
good men and true to swallow completely that story
about the night club hostess not knowing that liquor
was being sold.
Normal human beings, such as constitute the aver
age jury naturally detest the methods by which the
case against Guinan was worked up-the protesta-
lions Of friendship the saying it with orchids at
eminent expense, the generous outlay Of taxpayers
money on food and drink, the costly shopping.
That such evidence-getting proves too much for
jury to stomach is not surprising; but it is rather
odd to note that 1t nauseates even one whose duty
it is to prosecute prohibition ofenses
Speaking on the general subject of prohibition in
formers before meeting OF drys in the nations CAPT
tai Assistant United States District Attorney Camaer
says:
THE paid police informers are the lowest form Of
individual to have in law enforcement They are no
help 10 prohibition enforcement They are not men;
they are creatures It is not fair to the judge, the
jury prosecutor or defendant to put cases made by
common police informers IN court.
THE iuforrers are believed only when they enter
a place watched by police, use marked money known
10 the police. and when this same marked money is
secured from the bootegger after the place is rads
For this service" the assistant district attorney
said, "the informers are paid $3.50 for each convc
ton.
THE man or woman" he continued who will send
p man 10 Jail for s25O-and that is what police in
formers are paid-s nothing but an insdious creature
who ought to be IN Jail Thank God, that's where
most Of them end"
Considering those sentiments and the source from
which they come It is not unlikely that Texas would
have been turned loose even had her defense been
minus the vsecracks the wardrobe, the bracelets, and
thu charm

for exposing and Wagng war their famous black
list battle chiefly with the national officers
in control OF the society," and it will be interesting to
observe whether the attitude of the order has softened
now that the rank and file has had opportunity to
think things over.
Mrs. Baiue is returning to the battle with zeal
that surely would please old Sam Adams one of her
Revolutionary forebears if ne were here to see it.
Mrs Baia it will be recalled, sought last year to
change D A. r. procedure so that chapters would have
to matters of national importance before the
GSanization could its policy. She objected
to the support national officers were giving grotesque
biIion-doIar naval building program. And she OBJ
lected to transmission to the chapters of list of per-
sons VINO were to be banned as speakers.
The list included Jane Adams. Rabbi Wise Sen
ator Borah Newton D. Baker Irving Fisher, Florence
Allen and many other such dangerous radicals" The
order. Mrs. BaIe charged, had been duped into CO.
operating with the excessively reactionary Key Men
OF America, of which Fred r. Marvin is guiding
genius.
The national board of management of the D. A r.,
after hearing behind closed DOORS ousted Mrs. Bae
A recital Of her ofTenses just published says she
magned the orders officers, belittled its work. Or
gained a committee of protest. etc.
Mrs. Bae, in other words, put UP a good fight for
what she was convinced was right and spoke her mind
freely in doing it. She tried to organize a revolt
against certain policies OF the society, like the revolt of
The D A r. ancestors against the policies of Eng
lsh king named George III.
At the D. A R congress next week Mrs Bailie will
appea to the 900 delegates to override the actions
of their officers Her battle against SNUG reaction and
for free speech and the right of protest is we'll worth
while, even if she loses.

ANNIVERSARY
BIRTH OF JEFFERSON
April is

Today is the anniversary OF the
IL birth Of Thomas jefferson in
Albemarle county, Virginia, in l743.
No man contributed more to the
early American republic than this
laWyer-farmer, whose insight into
the future made him outstanding
among all his brilliant contem-
poraries.
Jefterson'S part in the struggle
for independence dates from the first
moment Of colonial unrest. His first
political writing, "A Summary View
OF the Rights Of British America"
was to urge the first general meet
ing Of representatives of all the
colonies.
He wrote, at least in part. many
Of the state documents Of the early
republic. In debate, he was handi-
capped by a poor voice and the fact
that he hated personal contest, but
his written language was unsur-
passed in its time for clarity and
force.
Jefferson's physical measurements
were as large as his intellectual. He
was six feet two inches tall and
strongly built. His plain dress was
in sharp contrast TO the formal at
tire Of most Of his contemporaries.
His personality was unusually
winning and, history says, he adj
dressed his slaves as kindly as his
fellow statesmen.

Limited Sale

Sale OF LIQUOR on the Leviathan, according to an
nouncement of the new owners of the United States
lines, will be limited sale.
A careful analysis of the terms under which liquor
may be purchased does not, however, indicate any
great drought.
The terms, as set forth by Joseph E. Sheedy, ex-
ecutiYe vice-presden OF the United States lines pro-
vide that:
Passengers may order liquor to their rooms.
They may order liquor at meals in the dining room
and in other public rooms, such the smoking room
All orders, however, must be for single drinks
rather than bottles.
1t is inferred therefore, that liquor will not be
served in the Ifeboats or up in the crows nest or
down in the bilge, but that otherwise the thirsty cti-
zen of America while travelling under the flag of his
own dry country, may refresh himself.

FeW Of Them Ont

TT has become a fetish of this age
u age to want more and still more,
whether Of fame or fortune.
The man or woman who retires
young is looked upon askance.
The accumulation of q million at
IS is supposed to indicate a desire
for ten million at so.
A life Of leisure, even for those
who have earned it, has come to be
regarded as sinful.
The urge Of modern life is to pro-
long dissatisfaction in the name Of
ambition.
Rich people, famous people, and
old people insist ON keeping their
places. That is one reason why
there is so little room at the top and
why young folks find it so hard to
make Roadway.

Up TO EX-PreSidentS

GENATOR TESS suggests an
- amendment to the Constitution
which would make eX-President
rcombers Of the senate at a salary
of $25,000 year.
Such amendment involves the
same questions as the Talley case.
just as it may be to pay ex-Presi-
dents a salary of $4,000 a year for
the remainder of their lives, they
should have the right to live as
they prefer.
1t should certainly be optional
with them to accept, or reject, mem
bership in any governmental body
SO far as their experience goes,
it would be of great benefit to the
public, but the public has no right
to demand it of them.

4 is Dorothy Dix. that the tech
nique of courtship has changed ut
terly. Has the modern woman, .
asks Miss Dix, "cynically decided
that it is a waste Of time and Ell
fort to try to rouse the better side OF
man. and 50 has concentrated al
her appeal on his lower nature?'
Miss Dix both asks and answers
the question and ruefully she de-
cides that spiritual appeal has given
way to petting. She calls this a
modern phenomenon.
Not having had much chance for

to reaffirm Miss DiH'S report on

Is Pntting NeM2

DUT why, I want to know is
d there so much insistence that
petting is q new discovery? I've
heard tell that up in New England
there was among the Puritan lads
and lasseS q diversion known as
bundling.
That would be our "petting,' but
probably not so tame. I don't quite
go back to bundling days, but in
the Boston of twenty years ago
young men got lip rouge on their
faces, and it was always the custom
to knock on the door before enter
ing any car which was parked be-
side the road,
However, it would be futile to ar
que as to whether petting is on the
increase, since no statistics are
available, and Miss Dix and | are
both busy newspaper columnistS
with insufficient time for research.
I would rather accept the lady's
findings and argue about her con-
illusions Let's draw the issue. Miss
Dix writes: TN our mothers time
the enraptued youth looked up
with reverence to the girl with
whom he was in love as something
higher, purer, more spiritual than
he was. In moments Of ecstacy he
even went so far as to call her an
angel,
"And the girl felt that she could
do no less than hold that exalted
pose and try to lift the man up to
her higher plane. Nowadays a girl
would feel herself highly insuIted
if a man called her an angel She
wants to be his pal and not his
savior"
If such a change has really taken
place, I'm for it, heart and soul.

Abuse Broke Wilson

CPEAKING Of ex-Presidents, Da-
~ yid Lloyd George says that it
was "scurrilous abuse" by the
French press that shattered the
nerves of Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson never had expert
enced anything like it," he says.
lit was to him a new and stunning
experience and it broke him"
One may question whether it was
new, considering all that Woodrow
Wilson had been through in this
country, but it certainly was stun
ming to a man Of his sensitive ma
ture, who had been burdened with
great responsibility for so many
years.
No man can do enough to become
President of the United States and
serve as President for even one
term, without wearing himself
pretty thin.

What's the Authority?

TXTHERE on earth did this notion
w about revering women ever
come from? There is no ScripturaI
authority for it. Adam and Eve
were fashioned from the same bolt
of goods
AS the Bible expresses it in the
words Of our great ancestor, This
is now bone of my bones, and flesh
of my flesh: she shall be called
woman"
Accordingly, if Adam had a lower
nature. SC did Eve. They were pals
Eve shared the bright apple with
Adam.
Nor in the light of future develop
ments can it be said that Eve was
altogether unwise when she ate Of
the Tree of knowledge and tool,
upon herself equal respoL sibility for
good and evil
1t was promotion for Eve In the
beginning she was only a rib. Now
she became an accessory. Before
Eve sinned there might have been
reason for Adam to worship her, but
after Gods tllunders descended up

Marion Right or Wrong?

TN one sense of the word it is
Il Marion Talley's business, In an
other sense it is not. When q
young woman can sing well enough
to win international fame and a
half million in three years, her
career becomes a matter Of public
interest.
Nor is the interest entirely all
idle one. To a certain extent. the
public feels that it has made an
investment on which it has a right
to expect returns.
After having reached the top,
both as composer and director, Giu-
seppe Verdi decided that Italy
needed farmers more than musi-
clans
Quite possibly Miss Talley feels
that way about the United States.
Other people will reserve the right
to debate whether a good singer
should continue to sing, or retire
and do what she pleases, after hay
ing made a fortune,
There is something to be said on
both sides Of the question.

T he More, the Better

nNE would suppose We had dry
" laws enough, especially from
the standpoint of their unenforce-
ability, but the announcement Of
the United States Shipping lines
that the Leviathan and other pas
senger boats will sell liquor seems
to have stirred up a sentiment for
one more.
Well, let it come. The more laws
we get and the more foolish they
are, the nearer we shall be to q
rational solution of this prohibition
mess, especially if they hurt
legitimate business.
The way it is supposed to have
helped prosperity has been the one
impressive argument in favor Of
prohibition will not help Aneri-
can passenger ships to prosper,
which is something that those who
would place them under it ought to
consider carefully.
