This is the time for you "shop' and buy wisely.

NORMAN s VISIT

. LABOR PAPER

, LONDON, Aug. 31.-A smash
ing front-page editorial attack on
Montagu Norman's mysterious
mission in the United States is
made today by the London Daily
Herald, Laborite organ.
The editorial, headed SILLY Sc,
erecy," states:
"PrOf. Clarence Skinner, 9th
erwise Montagu Norman, gov
ernOr of the Bank of England,
has been comforting with Amer
lean bankers on the economic
conference and OthC matters
under melodramatic conditions
of secrecy.
HUSH-HUSH WORK
Home Secretary Samuel is
also engaged in hush-huSh
mission in the Channel Isles.
He too is talking about the
Economic Conference with Pre-
mier HerriOt of France.
"In both cases there have been
administered reports that the
conferences mean nothing. No
body believes these reports. But
the governments methods OF
publicity are at least consistent.
It treats the British public as a
child needing constant doses of
soothing syrup. CandOr in White
hall would be refreshing
change.
"Sir John Simon has already
announced a revival of the An
gIO-French enterte. Sir Herbert
Samuel is preparing the way
for a possible 'gentlemen's
agreement with France to pre-
sent to the world economic con-
ference.
SECRET DIPLOMACY
"Grave fears are being ex-
pressed in financial circles at
the recrudescence o. methods
of secret diplomacy and the
effect which this may have on
other countries represented at
the world conference.
"NOrman's American visit is
even more dangerous. People on
both sides of the Atlantic are
getting tired of his theatrical
pretentiOuSneSs. The question is
being asked in the city by i'm
pOrtant houses not in the ring
as to whom Norman is really
representing"

High-Crade Cotton.
rom the Houston Chronicle.

FROM the Houston Chronicle.
With a large carryover of cotton in
sight, the farmers of Texas are realiz-
ing as never before that only the high
grade staple can be sold at a profit to
the producer. Fortunately, the Federal
cooperative marketing act provided for
the activities of the Texas Certified
Cotton Seed Breeders Association, and
that organization, working in conjunc-
ton with the Governments agricultural
credit agencies, is now in a position
to spread the sentiment for a smaller
crop of better quality.
1t takes constant educational work
among the States farmers to improve
the staple. At one time Texas pro-
duced cotton equal to that of any in
the South, but extraordinary demands
led many farmers to grow an inferior
grade which would turn out a high per-
centage of lint at the gin. This, to-
gether with the unfortunate habit of
most cotton buyers in purchasing on
the hog around" plan, brought about
a serious decline in the quality OF the
States crop.
We are now beginning to realize as
never before that low-grade cotton is
drug on the market and that our
only salvation is the production of q
crop of higher grade at less expense.
Fortunately for Texas agriculture,
the Texas Certified Cotton Seed Breed
ers' Association is well able to assume
active leadership of the movement.
Last year this organization distributed
350000 bushels of certified seed to the
farmers of the State with the result
that the percentage of untenderable
cotton in the crop of Texas was
diminished from 25 to less than eight.
This year the association has arranged
for credit from the Federal Govern
ment on large scale so that the farm
ers of the State can secure certified
seed without single cash payment.
This liberal credit plan should en-
able Texans to raise only high-grade
staple this year.

signal and undue use Of horns to prod
slow-moving trafic to faster pace.
There are many others which the
superintendent Of police could well have
put in his list. but II the drivers in the
future will avoid these seven farlts con-
ditions should be materially improved
Roadbullishness seems to be one Of the
chief tendencies Of the taxi driver in
Washington. Instead of slowing down
at an intersection where there is cross
traffic but no policeman he will in
variably push ahead in an attempt to
intimidate private car owners. Ap-
preaching an intersection with the sig
mails set against him he will frighten
pedestrians who are walking with traf-
fic by coming to a quick instead of
slow stop. These and other annoying
practices are part of his daily routine.
It is quite obvious that there are far
too many taxicabs in Washington and
that some method should be found" not
only to regulate the drivers, but to re-
duce the number Of these public vehi-
cles. BY no logic can it be argued that
the streets OF the city should be turned
over almost entirely to private interests
to the inconvenience and annoyance of
the private motor car owner. Congress,
however. has not seen flt to clothe the
Public Utilities Commission with the
degree of authority that will bring about
improvement. Until it is done there
is small hope that order will come out
Of the present chaos.

N'gi Finds a Mission.

Everybody hopes that the fight to
save the life of the gorilla Ngi will
not have been in vain. Such hope can
be entertained regardless of whether
N'gi passes on into that particular vale
reserved for gorillas or whether he
lives to ripe old age in cage at
the Washington Zoo.
The point, however, is not so much
whether N'gi lives or dies, but the fight
that has been made to save the life
Of this queer and appealing little
caricature of man. fashioned by the
ages as a relic of some mysterious
long ago.
For all the emotional sympathy and
interest shown in prolonging the life
Of this baby gorilla, all the money
spent to obtain the services Of skilled
technicians. expensive apparatus and
trained doctors surely shows that when
the human heart is touched its kind
ness knows no bounds. And If it is
possible to do all the things that have
been so kindly done for Ngi, the baby
gorilla, there is so much hope for all
the little human babies whose wasted
bodies need the strength of wholesome
food. If not of imported wine; whose
health might be restored by sunshine
and fresh air, If not by oxygen tanks;
whose minds, If there only is given
the chance and the training. may work
wonders far beyond the ken Of that
strange little creature at the Zoo.
Baby N'gi, with his old and tragic
face somehow suggestive of burden
whose weight we do not know, cannot
have lived in vain If for one f1eeting
moment he turns our thoughts, by
what has been done for him, to what
has not been done for the other babies
whose world lies before, not behind
them.

would permit an indictment TO stand
as long as twelve-a majority Of one
members Of the jury were eligible
and voted for the indictment. For this
would make conceivable condition
under which there were twelve eligible
members Of a grand jury and eleven In
eligible members, and It is not believed
that the courts would accept such legis-
Iation. The theory of the courts has
obviously been that q grand jury or a
petit jury must be composed Of quail
fed jurors, and as long as one men,
Der of the jury is ineligible the sanctity
of the jury is destroyed.
1t would seem that, here in the Dis
trict Of Columbia especially, the pre-
caution against grand jury fiascos
should lie, first, in the "overhauling"
mentioned by the President "of the
statutes respecting qualification of
grand and petit jurymen" on the
theory that grounds of ineligibility
now exist which do not affect the
availability or impartiality of jury
men: second, in revising the system
for the selection Of persons qualified
for jury service.
In connection with the overhauling
of the statutes, the factors held to dis
qualify jurors in the District have been
enlarged by the court decisions until
the proportion Of persons in the Dis
trict qualified to serve on juries has
decreased beyond all reason. A large
part Of the population is Immediately
barred from jury service because of
service in the Government departments,
and to those so disqualified have been
added the veterans who draw compen-
sation from the Government, those who
hold war insurance policies, those who
have soldiers bonus certificates and
even those who, 1t has been held,
might own a drug store in which is
operated branch post office. LegiSla-
ton should remove some of these dis
qualifying bans, and at the same time
there should be a revised system for
more thoroughly interviewing pro-
spective jurors. to weed out the obvious
ly unfit before their formal selection by
the court.
A commission Of bench and bar in
the District has been v-orking for some
time on recommendations for revision
of the jury selection system in the Dis
trict. The Presidents recommended
tions will doubtless hasten the submis-
sion to Congress of such legislative
remedies as are needed.

Preventing Grand Jury Fiascos.

In his special message to Congress on
Federal courts the President includes a
recommendation Of peculiar interest to
the District:
There have been many instances,
some recently in the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia, where indict-
ments, returned after long and expen-
sive hearings, have been invalidated by
the discovery Of the presence on the
grand jury of a single ineligible juror.
BY law applicable to the United States
District Courts, including the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, it
should be provided that if not less than
twelve eligible grand jurors vote for an
indictment it shall not be invalidated
because of the presence of ineligible
jurors.
All the foregoing proposals relating
to criminal procedure should be made
applicable to the Supreme Court of the
District. In addition, the statutes in
force in the District respecting the
qualifications of grand and petit jury
men and their selection should be
thoroughly examined and overhauled.
Grounds of ineligibility now exist
which DO not affect the availability or
impartiality of jurymen.
The system now in operation in the
District for preparing lists Of persons
qualified for jury service requires i'm
provement.
The absurdity of condition which
allows the ineligibility of one member of
grand jury, made up of twenty-three
a1en and women, to bring about what
amounts to the invalidation of the pro-
ceedings of that grand jury has been
emphasized at great expense and loss
OF time on a number of occasions in
the District And the absurdity is in
creased by the fact that the juror ir
question might be ineligible on technica
grounds that would in no way affect
his ability to exercise impartial judg.
ment as to the weight of evidence or
which the defendant is held. Wher

Texas considers Garner well worthy
of any honor which the organization
could bestow upon him." in the opinion
of the Houston Chronicle, land the
presidential nomination might well be
given him, not as the candidate of any
particular State or section, but as the
candidate of the masses of the people"
The Chronicle IS convinced that the
delegates who meet at Chicago will not
ignore Mr.. McAdoos advice when they
select standard bearer for 1882" The
Springfield (Mass) Republican remarks
that the Democratic drys may now
swing to that new star in the Demo-
cratic Skies" although it sees dry
humor" in the fact that he voted
against the eighteenth amendment"

Democrats have been both pleased
and surprised" records the Roanoke
Times, "at the constructive record of
the House under Speaker Gamers ca
pable and experienced leadership"
That paper holds that he will have to
be reckoned with at the Chicago con-
vention." The Roanoke World-News
comments: las matters stand at pres
ent, the Texan is still in the class of
favorite sons and a possible compro-
mise candiate, but it must be admitted
that the changing complexion of poll
tics may alter his chances greatly be-
fore the convention in June"
He might well make a serviceable
President" states the Charleston IS. c.
Evening Post At a later date that
paper declares: What the Democratic
party is chiefly looking for at this time
is a candidate to win with. 1t may
well be that Roosevelt is that man and
probably at this time more Democrats
think he is than think the same of any
other one candidate. They will probably
continue to think SO in June, but there
is also the possibility that they may not.
If the candidate is to be definitely de-
cided on by primaries before the con-
vention meets, there is little point to
having a nominating convention"
That he could capture the solid
South" according to the Boise Idaho
Statesman, there can be no denying,
and perhaps a number of Western
States also. Smith couldn't do this and
there Is some doubt whether Roosevelt
could. On the other hand, Smith
would run much stronger in the big in
dustrial States than either one, espe-
cially Garner. 1t is all very compli-
cated-and interesting"
1T does not yet appear" as viewed
by the Hartford Times, that Garner
is the one candidate behind whom di-
vided Democratic sentiment can unite,
but it is obvious that he is attaining
increased importance in the pre-con-
vention situation"

Taxicab Drivers.

Gen. Glassford's warning to taxicab
drivers that they should be more care
full in the operation OF their vehicles
is timely. While drivers of public
vehicles are probably on the average
more competent than the general run
OF private owners they not only drive
too fast, but in their anxiety to pick
up as many fares as possible take un-
reasonable chances to deliver their pas
sengers to their destinations. Particu-
larly apparent is this reckless phase
since the low rates went into effect
and hundreds of new cabs appeared on
the streets.

The people you can never make care
for you, who merely tolerate you, what
is to be done about them?
They constitute a perpetual problem

who somehow feels that where no overt
enmity exists state of amity ought
to prevail.
Maybe it ought. but often it doesn't,

In the likes and dislikes Of human

little unanimity.
There is as much scope here. one
thinks, as there are human beings.
1t is not necessary here to go into
the failure of whole Christian COM
munities to live in peace, one with
another. That is matter for the his
torian.
What concerns us, rather, is the
petty pickering in the everyday life, the
lack of understanding between people,
the queer antipathy which so many
human beings show to each other with
out any apparent cause:
There is perhaps no human being,
no matter how selfish, who has not at
some time wondered why he did not
like some other person, or why some
one did not care for him.
On the surface there seems to be
no particular cause for divergence.
Perhaps both men have come from the
same class of society. may have been
trained in the same schools with iden-
tical traditions and backgrounds.
1t makes no difference:
Whatever one thinks, the other takes
the opposite view Whatever one up
holds. the other votes against. If one
is "for" something, the other Is
against it.
They meet amicably enough, per-
haps even slap each other on the back,
but down beneath all the ballyhoo each
feels that he has no genuine liking for
the other, and that the other has none
for him.
It is this latter phase of the matter
which ruff1es the mind of the man who
wants to get along with everybody
who even wants to achieve more than
that. who wants every one honestly to
be his friend.
Let him make up his mind to 1t. the
thing is impossible The greatest and
finest men who ever lived failed to gain
universal love and respect.
There is no historical character In
whatever sphere, who ever made 100
per cent success of himself in that
manner.
There should be no regret, therefore,
on that score. Let it be said again
that the thing is impossible. What is
more, it may be said to be undesirable.

This life demands accents, and there
