Eyaluating Friendship


If ever a man had friends upon
whom he could place definite value
it seems to be Mayor James j.
Walker, well-dressed mayor of New
York.
AS a witness before the committee
investigating graft in New York city,
Mayor Walker admitted Thursday
that he and Paul Block, famous pub
Usher who writes inspirational things
for his newspapers, had a joint brok-
erage account. The mayor put moth
ing in but took out $246,000.
Put Publisher Block down as a
$4,000 friend" Of wise-cracking
Jimmy. Asked the source of this
quarter million dollars worth of
friendship, Mayor Walker said: Il
would prefer you ask Mr.. Block" The
committee doubtless will and the an
swer should be interesting.
Then there was one Esmond
O'Brien, who made an investment
and, out of the goodness Of his heart,
decided that his friend. the mayor.
should get in on the good thing. The
mayor put in nothing but his profit
was $4,000.
List Mr.. O'Brien as $4,000 friend.
Attending dinner in Atlantic
City, the mayor was told Of pool
in an oil stock. 1t cost him nothing
to enter but the mayor profited $685.
900.
Previously, the committee had un-
covered the fact that an executive of
a bus concern, which was seeking a
New York franchise, suddenly took a
liking to the mayor and made him
an outright gift of some $4,000 in
bonds. His company got the fran
chise.
They are talking of running Walker
for a third term in New York and
the election should show what the
people of the nations metropolis
think of man who has such ire
mendous friend-making ability. They
might, just for the experiment, re-
tire him to private life and check un
in a year or two to see how much his
friends have contributed to him after
leaving office. They might find that
the well-dressed mayor was having
little difficulty maintaining the
reputation which he has so blithely
given himself.
1t is unfair to judge Mayor Walker
at this distance, of course, but a
sound inference, in so far as the vot-
ers are concerned, would seem to be:
Beware of those officeholders whose
influence and friendship accomplishes
SO much. There may be catch in it
somewhere"

Every verdict against an in

which liability rates are based.
Awards wholly inconsistent with
actual injuries suffered are to
be deplored. It is utterly false
reasoning on the part Of jurymen
to assume that the insurance
company will pay, so why not

GERMAN DRIVE BEGINS

On May q, 1918, the third great
German offensive began with terrific
force in a perfectly timed assault on
a 40-mile front in the Chemin des
Danes sector.
German storm divisions cut their
way through the French lines and
crossed the Aisne river, after the
ground had been prepared for the
attack by a tremendous lombard
ment.
German official bulletins hailed q
great victory" and Berlin newspa-
pers claimed that "the French are
beaten"

Cost of Careless Driving

bismarck, as we'll as other commu-
mites, has been having its usual
spring epidemic of careless driving.
There have been some deaths in this
vicinity through auto accidents and a
great number of collisions which for
tunately ended only in bruises.
Now comes the news that in 1882
automobile liability rates have gone
up between 80 per cent and 40 per
cent. The additional premium is an
assessment on careless driving. The
insurance companies tell us this in
crease in rates is not due to past def
cts in operating costs but to insure
against future deficits. In other
words the increase in rates shows
that the public, after all, makes them.
The Aetna Life Insurance company
has issued a pamphlet which shows
in graphic and most impressive
manner the trend in the terrific sac
r1l1ce OF LIE, and limb caused almost
entirely by thoughtless, careless, reck-
less driving. To quote:
1T has been said that some
mems consciences are locked in
their purses and this thought
seems to be borne out in the mat
ter Of safe driving. Although it
Is . severe indictment, it really
seems that only as the rank and
file Of motorists grasp the eco
nolnic phases Of the automobile
accident situation will they make
. serious effort to correct their
unsafe driving practices.
''efuall wonder that the rates
heve advanced! In the light of
the pertinent information re-
svealed by this booklet, 1t is at
once apparent that automobile

MEXICAN CHURCH WAR
LAID TO COMMUNISTS
Osservatore Romano Charges
"Reds" and Masons Are in
League in Troubles.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
VATICAN CITY, August 16.-The
newspaper OsServatore Romano carried
an editorial today charging that Com
munism is at the bottom of the relig-
ious troubles in Mexico and that the
Communists are acting in league with
the Free MaSons.
Masonry" said the editorial, never
would have succeeded in subjecting and
depressing so ferociously the church
and the Mexican people if it had not
found powerful ally first in Social
ism. then in the Communists, who were
and are the most efficacious instru-
mentS of persecution in it's hands"
The newspaper recalled a trip to
Russia by Plutarco Elias Gales before
he became President of Mexico and said
that enormous facilities" were granted
to Communists in Mexico during the
Gales administration Even now, the
editorial said, the Communist party
predominates in the Mexican states of
Tabasco, Vera Cruz, Yucatan and
Hidalgo.
