One of the Meanest.

Search for the "meanest man" has
brought to notice a lot Of scoundrels
with varying specialties Of contemplate
tricks. Fortunately there Is no spe-
cific competition for excessive mean
ness, else this would be a hard world
indeed in which to live. Newark, N. j.,
furnishes a variety Of neanness that
might be rated aS Of championship
quality. A motion picture theater was
well filled at an afternoon performance
the other day when some one raised
false alarm Of fire. There was a great
rush for exits. in which some were
hurt before the panic was checked.
Then 1t was found that several pockets
had been picked in the confusion and
there Is little doubt that the cry Of fire
was given by the thief.
That was q particularly despicable
variety of meanness because lives might
have been lost in the panic induced by
the alarm. It Ia bad enough for per-
son innocent Of any criminal purpose
to cry "Firel" when there Is no fire
or any suggestion Of it, just to see the
people scramble for safety. It is COM

something wrong with the mentality Of

New York Leads Way
In Peace Education

From the Birmingham News.
More than q million public school
children in New York State have "ac-
cepted" the Kellogg peace treaties. They
pledge themselves to do all In their
power to further the significance OF the
agreements which propose to keep the
peace Of the world A writer observes:
This Is the way, and perhaps the only
way, to bring about international peace
and maintain It: Put the idea Of peace
and its Importance into the conscious
ness of children. Teach the glor1es Of
peace instead of the so-called glories Of
war"
Who will not indorse thst2 Think Of
the prospects II all the signatories TO
the pact throughout the worlds nation
alities would adopt the same procedure
in their schools on q nationwide scale?
What leverage would be created ready
to the use Of the rising generation in
the time so near at hand when these
boys and girls now Of school age must
constitute the advisory and voting pow
er determining the policies and per-
formances Of controll What could be
better conceived or more timely than
just this very thing that the schools OF
New York are now doing?
This, the News takes 1t, Is real educa-
ton, and not such as Is too often drop
ped with text books. It is the kind that
stimulates inquiry and leads to tndivid-
ual and to collective mental and moral
development, and Is bound to promote
genuine enlightened patriotism of the
most personal character. In this, clear
~, the example Of New York Is TO b
highly commended and emulated.

Uniformed Drivers.

Commissioner Whalen's edict to New
York taxi drivers to put on uniforms
by February is or lose their licenses
is causing CONSERVATION among the
drivers because of the initial expense
that they must undergo even though
the police commissioner has arranged
matters so that all and sundry may
purchase caps and double breasted
coats for the low price Of $3.50. AS a
matter Of fact, Whalen's order, outside
Of the temporary outlay on the part
of the drivers, should rebound to their
benefit. Probably no one would prefer
to be driven by disreputable- looking
character rather than a neatly dressed
operator. New York taxi drivers, in
both their vehicles and their dress, have
little to be proud of. Their driving, of
course, is highly skillful, as it needs
must be in the congested trafic. So
that with improvement in apparel there
would appear to be every reason to
believe that more fares, better fares
and better tips would be their portion
when the Whalen order becomes effec-
tive.

Then Madison square, nine blocks
farther UP, became the recreation center
Of midtown New York. Now Madison
square Is down town and Central Park,
thirty six blocks northward from Madi-
son square, is the midtown place of
public resort.
All cities have their trends and drifts
Of development, but some more than
others. New York has had an
especially definite extension movement
owing to its peculiar configuration.
Washington has experienced pronounce
ed shifts In business centers, but there
remain certain fixed focal points that
prevent wide departure from the origi-
nal plan. Here the movement is to the
northwest mainly, business having
drifted appreciably in that direction
within the last two decades. It remains
to be seen how far the Governments
taking Of large area in the heart Of
the city for public buildings will affect
