RENT FIGHT

Fearful that the proposed increase
In rentals to be paid by the Long
Island railroad for the use Of its
portion of the Pennsylvania station
in New York city would result In an
increase in Communication rates, the
association Of Long Island commut-
ers and the utility consumers league
of New York today asked the inter
state Commerce Commission to deny
the application of the Long Island
and Pennsylvania railroads Tor ap-
proval of a new rental agreement.
The appliction has been pending Tor
more than six months.
In a brief filed In behalf OF the
two organizations by Maurice Hotch-
ner. it was contended that the COM
mission does not have jurisdiction
in the matter. He maintained that
the use of the Pennsylvania station
Ia wholly a state matter, with which
the commission should have no con.
cern, and that the proper public ari-
thority Is the New York transit
commission.

approve the same agreement which
is now before the Interstate Com
merce commission, because thG
rental would be unfair to the Ions
Island road, and would impose upon

wholly to the requirements Of thC
Pennsylvania railroad.

hand. The fact, however, that 4 has
the club suit would seem to indicate
that rs side strength if he has any,
(and his bid of six would so indicate),
must be in the diamond suit; therefore
a lead of that suit should be avoided.
Suppose that rs void suit is clubs,
should A lead that suit? The answer to
this question should also be i'll the
negative. If L should trump clubs it
would thus enable him to obtain the
lead and use any trumps that Y may
have to trump the spades.
Having eliminated the possible suit
leads, the only one remaining is
trump lead. Can such d lead do any
harm and, if not, can it possibly gain
trick? A trump lead should not do any
harm for A and B have the spade suit
and A has the club suit, therefore the
only suit that may make is the dia-
mond suit. There is no real danger of
that, however, for BIS bid of four
spades certainly should indicate at
least one trick in diamonds. On the
other hand, can the trump lead possibly
gain trick? The answer to that ques-
ton is YES. If Y's hand contains a
void spade suit, the trump lead may
prevent a ruff by Y.
The foregoing analysis should prove
therefore, that AS proper
lead with the foregoing hand should
be the eight of hearts. The following
are the hands held by all four players:

EDITORIALS Ito Egii
The Newspaper And Public Opinion

The editorial functions of newspaper form subject
of speculation. Ordinarily, speak Of newspaper as
a "moulder of public sentiment" But is it? We would
rather say that the editorials in newspapertha is to
say, good editorials in good newspapers, create or form
the basis of public opinion than to assert their moulding
powers.
In years past when lives and activities were not
so complex editorial expression accepted by large
group Of people fnaly of statement regarding any
given question The editor did what thinking the preach
e the lawyer the doctor and the banker did not do for
the rest of the community It quite generally accepted
that the editor used his thinking cap, and therefore
what the to stop plowng churnng sewing in
order to think when the local editor did it for at
a dollar and half year?
This is Indictment of the old-time editor. For,
right wrong, he thought To him good newspaper
an art instead of business He parsonage of quail
ity The nations destiny his page and he felt and
SO did his readers He of the type that built this
trythat blazed the ways in educaton industry agricu
tre adventure invention and social standards to pre-

who make it business to think and think rightly and
let the community know about it. But doubt whether
with the prestige he built uphe actually moulded
anybodys opinion We admit the question amoot one
*s In this connection aspect of the newspaper
presents itself At any rate, the proposition we'll be
restated People do not like to be moulded into thought
any than they like to be driven into action This
is for the very good that the majority of people
are quite capable of doing their thinking and acting
The most that be said of the obligation of the editor
al column-and still remain intellectually honest-is that
provokes thought concerning the subjects written about
and anything that gets the people to thinking public
issues worth while If this consists Of mouldng public
opinion argument fails. But believe the best ed
