In MemOriam


BAIL. HATTIE-In loving remembrance
of our dear wife and mother, who en-
tered eternal rest rs years ago today.
There was once dear, sweet Mother
Who thought a dearer Mother
In this world could ne'er abide.
Thev loved her SO much
Twas hard to separate.
But the Lord Jesus called her
And opened wide the gate.
She left behind husband.
Four daughters and a SON..
They miss her. yes they miss her,
But the Lords will be done.
The smallest one she left behind
Was but a little babe
When death suddenly took 1t
And put it in its grave.
But it is. safe in the care of our Saviour.
He took her home. for twas He who gave
May Mother rest. and Sister. too,
Is what we wish. and wish most true.

reprehensible editors? speak feel

the passing of three insistent right

. third time my perilouS crossing, only
to have the light turn when nearing
the street center, and the procession
Of cars in the second half Of my Journey
anchors me between car tracks, praying
that the advent Of two oppositely-
minded trolleys will not synchronize
with my immolation. More frequently
I am compelled by ight-turners from
the rear and left-turners from the front
to retire to the curb and await another
change Of lights.
Why Is not the exact street center
Of the block the ideal spot for a pedes-
trian crossing? With cars piled deep
at each end of the block awaiting the
signal, there are no left-turn or right
turn problems to face. stand between
two parked cars at their outer edge and
my only problem is the occasional car
which has entered the block by left
turn or . right one. can easily watch
my chance to slip between these to the
street center, where am immune from
troIleys and can maneuver to slip be-
tween the occasional cars in the other
half. More often the block center is
deserted even in rush times. Like

Penalty for Jay Walkers
Advocated by Driver
70 the Editor of The Star

TO the Editor Of The Star:
May I take voice through the cour-
tesy Of your paper In rebuttal Of the
many squawks that come from pedes-
TRANS regarding their inability to dodge
automobiles.
In over so years of my existence I
have never experienced any trouble
Whatsoever in dodging autos by merely
exercising reasonable care. On the
other hand, while driving car have
had more than considerable trouble and
extreme annoyance IN lodging jay
walkers and dreamers, some Of whom
not only believe they are entitled to
immunity, but who actually look in the
opposite direction Of oncoming traf'c.
Three-dollar fines and . free tip to
the hospital in . police wagon should
b imposed on such persons for each
ofFense, and IN addition to this . special
susrd Of bsby nurses should be organ
i1ed for the purpose Of taking care Of
these nit and half wits.
When one comes into this world he
takes such risks Of living as are imposed
on all of Us, but in fairness to those Of
us who drive and are constantly tor
tured BY such persons We should pro-
vide them with some kind Of distin-
euisliing mark which win indicate their
sub-normal nature. J. E. MYERS.

Writer Sees Russia
As EurOpe's Bad Man
TO the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
There is some reason to think that
President Roosevelt will soon be strongly
urged to give official recognition %
Russia. Z
The recognition Of Russia by the
United States would immediately
strengthen the cause of Communism a
hundred per cent throughout the world
As we are the leading nation of the
world, nothing would do more to bolster
bolshevism than our official recognition
of Russia. If we recognize Russia, we
more or less approve of her. We can't
have diplomatic relations with q nation
that we disapprove Of entirely. But are
we going to approve Of nation that
wraps tyrants' chains about the limbs
Of 160, 900 900 people, nation so i1tol-
Grant that it condemns and Furnishes
any man but workingman or work
ingman type, q nation that denies and
defies God and SCOTS at fundamental
moral principles. nation that cultivateS
but one ideal, the purely utilitarian and
materialistic ideal Of food and clothing,
or at most the ideals Of science and
esthetics? The United States cannot
recognize Russia. for Russia embodies
nizing Russia would be to trade with
that country. But We cannot serve
God and mammon. We cannot spend
our money, on which appear the words.
"In God We Trust" on q nation that
puts absolutely no trust In God. A
nation tliAt recognizes Russia will surely
live to repent it In sackclcth and ashes.
Nations must be treated as individuals
are treated. When q man Is guilty Of
bad conduct we put him in Coventry.
in other words, we ignore him until he
returns to his right mind, and amends
his ways. Nations must be treated like.
wise when they offend against the Laws
Of God and man.

are sixty or more neighborhoods denomi-
mated Hill in one form or another, not
to mention approximately fifteen Dales
and a legion Of Valleys. Plains like

Is lengthy. In each instance, it appears,
some first settler INDUCED his fancy
anarehistieAlly, and nothing was done
to hinder him.
1t happens, however, that there were
at least few real poets abroad In the
earth in the days when names were

sible to account for Silvernails, N. r.;
Silverstreet, Pa; Tranquility, N. j.;
Charm, Ohio; Devils Slide, Utah; Angel

anything outside the Water Depart
ment.
Then, since we are accommodating
such . surplus, why not lower the
rates" Chairman Cannon Of the Sub
committee on District Appropriations
asked during hearings on the 1894 bill.
"If We are not allowed appropriations
up to the amount Of the income, I
think the rates ought to be 1owered7"
Mr.. Holton replied.
Certainly they ought to be lowered.
The only question Is whether = direct
cut in water rates to the full extent
possible would not be more equitable
than the cut by discount on promptly
paid bills. For there is no justification
under the sun for collecting from tax
payers a single penny in excess Of what
Is to be spent. When the excess Is COL
lected, the tax becomes excessive, and
the evil Of excessive taxation is. of
course. obvious.

Water Tax Reduction.

Auditor Donovan directs the atten.
tion Of the Commissioners to the con-
tinuing surplus Of water revenues, al
though a gesture toward rate reduc-
ton was permitted in the past session
Of Congress by granting ten per cent
rebate on water bills paid promptly
that is, within fifteen days after rendi-
ton Of the bill. At the end Of this
fiscal year the water surplus will
amount to $826,917. That Is the esti-
mated balance Of funds remaining after
authorized expenditures, including the
sS0l 900 released by the budget director,
have been made. At the end of the next
fiscal year Q935) this estimated balance
VII have grown to $1,37l,664. Mai.
Donovan proposes that the discount on
bills paid promptly be increased to If
teen per cent next year, that the dis
count period be extended to thirty days
and that the minimum metered allow
Axce Of water be increased from $500
10 10000 cubic feet.
Increasing the amount of water uSable
ct o fixed price is, Of course, one way
Of reducing the rate. Offering dis
count for prompt payment of bills and
extending the period Of grace facili-
tate collection Of water taxes and
benefit large number of water tax
payers. There may be a reasonable
difference Of opinion over the relative
merits of straight tax reduction and
conditional tax reduction. But water
tax reduction, conditional or direct. Is
certainly justified.
Everybody seems agreed on this point
water taxes were increased between

tensions to the distribution system.

Pork Purchases Believed
To Lack Definite Results

life Is returned by which hungry
mouths disappear, not by the bounties
and bonuses Of governmental favor and
charity, but when able-bodied men and
women can earn their bread by the
sweat Of their brow: not from the ari-
fetal jobs created by Government. but
by opportunities offered by private cap
ital and business and industry" The
Youngstown Vindicator, agreeing that
the Government is trying many ways
Of improving the farmers condition"
holds that ''the pig-killing plan seems
to have had least excuse"
With emphasis upon the need of
profitable production, the Ornaha
World Herald advises that "a consid-
cradle increase in price is due before
this major industry Of the corn belt
farmer again becomes profitable" The
World-Herald adds that IF the hog
can't be restored all at once to his
important position as mortgage litter.
he ought at least to carry the interest
for q while" The Texarkana Gazette
states as to this point in the problem:
II the farmer ought to keep on raising
wheat and cotton and corn and pork,
even though he cannot do it proftably.
50 long as there are people who need
these things. then by the same token
the mdustrialist ought to keep his fac
tory wheels humming SO long as there
are people who need the things he
makes, whether they can pay his price
for them or not. Permanent solution
lies neither in making the factory keep
up operations nor in making the farmer
quit raising cotton and wheat. So long
as there are millions of hungry, poorly
fed and improperly housed people In

Purchasing power and distribution are
what must be provided, along with .
more equitable division of profits of
Industrial and agricultural operations.

reduce the potential supply Of young
pigs" asserts the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, while the Springfield Union be-
Ieves that it does not appear to have

tion's satisfaction"

American Place Names.

Perhaps one of the best answers to
the Shakespearean question concerning
whats in" a name Is that it furnishes
q good deal Of harmless amusement. The
United States Official Postal Guide, for
example, is one of the most entertaining
books in the world when approached
from the angle Of curiosity about Ameri-
can place names. Not long ago the
National Geographic Society sponsored
survey of the appellations applied to
the cities and towns Of the land, and
the outstanding impression gathered
from q reading Of the report Il one Of
wholesome and natural simplicity. un-
pretentiousness and homely but au-
thentic Wit. The pioneers, 1t would
seem, were possessed Of matter r-of-fact
temperament, but It also is obvious that
they were not lacking in imagination.
