piness of cheering. Rivals are applauded
by the same audiences. Contradictory
doctrines are given like approval. Citi-
zens are capable of forgetting to con-
firm their attendance at partisan rally
by visiting the polls to register and
again to vote.
1t Is exceedingly difficult to estimate
the value Of a vast nutpouring OF the
commonalty. Cicero, with fine contempt,
said: "Tte rabble estimate few things
according to their real value, most
things according to their prejudices."
A statesman, finding himself in
ordinately popular, may well question
the soundness of his views. Much sound
doctrine, as Shakespeare prompted
Hamlet to say, is caviar to the general"
The United States is democracy, and
its people have the privilege of bestowing
their favor where they will. But it does
not follow that they are infallible in
judgment. A popular candidate may
make an unpopular official. Ideas ap-
proved today may be rejected tomorrow.
In one Of his plays John Galsworthy
represents the people as stoning man to
death and then raising monument to
his memory. He found the theme in
the Scriptures. He just as easily might
have found it in the great unwritten
chronicle of universal experience.
Campaign crowds are news, but their
practical as well as their idealistic
significance may be subject to legitimate
question.

Bus Terminal Benefits.

There is precedent Of sort for the
Commissioners decision to widen New
York avenue by pushing back the north
curb eight feet between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets, in order to IA
cilitate traffic flow after the bus ter
minal has been established, and to di-
vide the cost $3.50 between the bus
company and the District. The prece-
dent has been established In cases
where q single property owner requests
sidewalk and is willing to shoulder
half the cost for the entire block, the
District paying for the other half.
Usually, the laying of the sidewalk
would await the time when all abut-
ting property owners can be assessed
half the cost as benefit. And usually
the New York avenue widening would
await the time when the ordinary traf-
fic demands justified, in theory, at
least, assessing all abutting property
owners for half the cost.
But while the cost of the New York
avenue widening is nominal-the esti-
mate being about Sl,500-the principle
is interesting for these reasons: 1t was
not considered necessary to widen the
street in this block until the bus COM
pany applied for and was given permis-
sion to establish its terminal there; the
Public Utilities Commission made its
permission for establishment of the ter
minal contingent upon the Commission
.rs' authorization of the street widening;
to allow the bus terminal to be estab-
lished, the people of the District must
be taxed for half the cost of widening
the street.
The Commissioners doubtless consid-
cred both the establishment of the bus
terminal and the widening Of the street
as a public benefit, justifying assump-
tion of half the cost by the District.
There is no doubt about the improve
ment in the traffic conditions that will
result, and there is no doubt about the
added public convenience gained through
centrally located bus terminals

economies effected in the name Of the
taxpayer as direct savings" For
when one taxpayer Is relieved Of the
cost of the cupola, it means that his
relief is being furnished at the expense
of another taxpayer who depends, di-
rectly or indirectly, upon expenditure OF
public funds. Whenever public works
are postponed, salaries cut, jobs abol-
ished and retrenchment schemes un-
dertaken, the community In which these
things are done suffers. And 1t always
means that a certain amount Of money
that would normally 60 into construc-
ton Of public works, for instance. must
be raised and diverted into another
channel for relief of those who are
made public dependents by the loss of
employment opportunity.
Cupolas, of course, must be elimi-
mated and other economies effected
For the tax burden is entirely too large.
But at the same time, cities everywhere
are seeking ways and means of Offset
ting the accompanying evils of drastic
retrenchment One of the interesting
movements of the times is the consider
alton of construction of self -liquidating
enterprises, such as toll bridges, water
works, vehicular tunnels and slum clear
ance with credit made available through
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton. This expedient, If successful
would keep wheels turning when, other
wise, they would be stopped by the
elimination Of cupolas. And at the
same time the desideratum Of tax re-
duction will be accomplished.

Honor System.

From the Oakland Tribune.
The honor system at the University
of California, in the keeping of the
students. may yet be lost. If it is to be
saved, that minority of students who
have defied it must either reform or be
banished from the campus.
Upon number of occasions the
honor system has come under attack,
often from students who, adhering to it,
note their fellows sliding through
courses on the back of a traditional
pony" Resented is the intrusion of
monitors or any act Of instructors
which indicates lack Of trust
If the system is really held to be
sacred at California it will not be
abused. If it is violated it is because
there are students present whose So
journ at the university is not worth the
money the taxpayers are laying out.
President Sproul. speaking forcefully,
calls upon the custodians of the honor
system to guarantee its working EN-
cheney and his remarks are applauded
by most of the students and all the
rest of the State.

Editor Smiths Salutatory.

If Alfred E. Smith did not mention
the name of Governor Roosevelt in his
"New Outlook" salutatory he at least
Endorsed the Democratic party. He re-
mains regular, but he demurs to the
present composition of the party OF
which he was so recently the standard
bearer and he calls for corrective
process. With some of the elements and
forces in the party he says he is COM
pletely out of sympathy, not for per-
sonal reasons. but because I believe
they are inimical to the best interests
of the country" Mr.. Smith gives no
specifications, nor does he hint at the
identity of these elements and forces"
Of which the Democratic party must
purge itself if it is to serve the Nation
in this crisis"
Omission of any details in this mat
ter of Objectionable Democratic factors
does not necessarily imply that Mr..
Smith by failing to name the present
presidential candidate of the party
puts him in that category 1t would
have been more satisfactory to the rank
and file of his party If he had been
more explicit on this point. Espe-
cially as he takes very obvious
fling at Govegnor Roosevelt by de-
nouncing the forgotten man." the
Governors pre-convention contribu-
ton, as myth, OF whom he says that
"the sooner he disappears from the
campaign the better it will be for the
country
There can be no Democratic COM
plant of Editor Smiths lack of fidelity
to his partys cause on the score of his
attitude toward the Republican party
and the present administration. He is
quite the Smith of 1928 in his attack
upon the Republicans. The administra-
ton, he says, cannot begin to solve our
present problems; it has had chance
to do it and has failed utterly; the
hope of the country lies in Democratic
success. And the Democratic candidate
emeritus concludes:
The one great cnance that the
Democratic party has had during my
lifetime is presented to 1t now. I
believe it is able to meet it. I believe
it can go as far as Government can go
to solve the problems which are as far
away from solution today as they were
when the depression started. I believe
that the success of the Democratic
party in the coming election is essential
to the upbuilding of our national
prosperity and our national weubeing.
With these kind words Editor Smith
leaves the matter for another month.
He has not and he probably will not
utter the names of the party's candi-
dates in appreciation and Endorsement.
He probably believes that he has gone
quite far enough in his testimony Of
faith.

Flaws and Merits Are Found
In Butler Scheme for Liquor

OF the opinion that when States
have the problem Of handling the
liquor traffic, it should be done in a
way to restore individual liberty, pro-
mote temperance and prevent abuses
growing out of the saloon, Speakeasy
and bootlegging," the st. Louis Post
Dispatch declares that ''Dr. Butler has
at least offered valuable suggestions to
this end" On the other hand, the New
York Times thinks he has nothing
practicable or safe or sane to offer in
lieu Of outright prohibition" The
Spokane Spokesman-Revie is certain
that local sentiment on the liquor
issue would be as variable as local SEN
timent on divorce" and predicts that
"as there are 48 States, there would be
liquor traffic" This paper is convinced
that such chaos would please the traffic,
as "the brewers and distillers could bet
ter cope with a State than with the
United States Government What they
fear is retention of the national motto,
e pluribus unum,'" in this journal S
opinion. But on this point the Rutland
Daily Herald remarks: If experience
under the eighteenth amendment has
proved anything it is that the theory
of concurrent jurisdiction over such a
matter as the manufacture, sale and
transportation of liquor is myth"
Objecting to DR.. Buffers plan of
putting the cost of hard liquor high
the Topeka Daily Capital contends such
an arrangement would play directly
into the hands Of the bootlegger," and
suggests that "if the price were at cost
without profit, 1t would leave no place
for the bootlegger." The San Jose Mer-
cury-Herald is gratif1ed that the Re-
publican platform has forced DR.. But
ler to do some thinking. There must
be merit in platform which compels
the distinguished president of Colum-
bia University to admit there are seri-
GUS evils attendant upon the traffic in
alcoholic beverages, which require the
exercise of the police powers of govern
ment," declares the Herald, which pic
lures DR.. Butler, up to the time he de-
lvered his last speech, as appearing Ito
have but one idea, and that was to get
rid of prohibition" The Cleveland News
also supports the Republican prohibi-
ton plank, saying: DIR Butler is doing
the country and his party little good by
attempting to tinker with that plan,
and he will not distinguish himself by
going over to the camp of the enemies
OF his party who have no plan"

CupOlas and Employment.

A correspondent whose letter ap-
peared yesterday on this page COM
mends the Engineer Commissioner for
his elimination from the architects
plans of cupola for the proposed Taft
Junior High School. His praise, one
might infer, springs in part from an
esthetic objection to cupolas-an OBJ
lection that is shared by other critics.
such as Representative Simmons OF
Nebraska. But it is interesting to note
his reasoning as it apOlies to the $3,S7S
saved by the change:
That amount will keep two $1,000
men usefully employed for year, two
homes intact, the children in school
and provided for and two home makers
out of bread lines. 1t Will do the same,
relatively, for three $1,200-a-year men
and their dependents or four $90O-a-
year men and their families.
Unfortunately, it is not quite as sim
pie as that. The cupola incident dem
onstrates the vicious circle Of this de-
preston. Instead of keeping two $1,000
men employed for a year, the elimina-
tion of the cupola means that certain
number of iron workers, carpenters,
painters, etc, who otherwise might have
been employed to contruct the cupola
will not be employed. And because
they are not employed their purchasing
power is by so much diminished and a
clerk in store, whose job depended
upon supplying the wants Of these ar
tisans, is apt to lose that job. At the
same time, the men otherwise engaged
to supply the raw material for that
cupola will be dropped and their pur-
chasing power destroyed. And so II
goes.
On the other hand, the saving from
eliminating the cupola Is saving, nc
matter how small, to the taxpayers
And treating the cupola as an economic
emblem, 1t is essential that cupolas be
omitted in order to tighten the burden
Of the taxpayers, who will have their
purchasing power materially decreased
and possibly face loss Of property ano
other hardships, If the tax burden /.
not reduced. The tax burden must be
reduced. i

Campaign Crowds.

Morris Hillquit once ran on the So
cialist ticket for mayor of New York.
His campaign was an exciting expert
ence Wherever he went In the city he
was cheered by multitudes. His meet
ings were packed to the doors with
enthusiastic followers. One rally, at
Madison Square Garden, called out
forty thousand people. Indications were
that he might win. The masses ap-
peared to be for him. But on election
day he went down to defeat. Not one
person in ten who had followed his
banner could vote.
The same principle holds good OF po-
litical crowds in general. Candidates
60 on tour. Their path is thronged
with applauding millions. Their ears
are deafened with friendly cheers.
Their hopes are stimulated. Returning
home, they await with confidence the
counting Of the ballots which they
fondly imagine will carry them into
the offices they seek. 1t Is with certain
amazement that they then discover that
the practical value of a crowd may be
pathetically small.
In the 1928 campaign Smith was fai
more abundantly encouraged than HOO
yer, but Hoover won. In 1912 Theodore
Roosevelt was accorded much more ex-
uberant receptions than Woodrow VIII
son. but Wilson was chosen. Bryan
complained that the people came tt
cheer him but forgot to go to vote fol
him.
