A New Edition.

With today's issue The Star initiates
a new, pre-noon edition. Some COM
ment upon the circumstances and con-
siderations surrounding the determina-
ton to do so seem appropriate:
Since its establishment eighty-four
years ago The Star has been strictly
an afternoon newspaper, dedicated
fundamentally to the every interest of
the community in which it is pub
lished. Its proprietors from the first to
the third generation have watched and
sought to play their part in the growth
of the National Capital from city of
about $1,000 residents, one paved street,
and the localized interests of a pleas
antly parochial town to its present
stature as the leading Capital of the
world.
. Throughout the generations involved
The Star has consistently kept pace, in
it's formal, contents and hours of
appearance with the news needs of
the community New editions have been
established as, and only as, a popular
desire to be informed of authentic news
developments at successive intervals
lished. In the mere adding on of
given number of thousands of circu-
lation there has never been, and is not
now, any concern. That it has been
sufficient to publish a genuine news
paper in the full meaning of that COM
pound word at only such legitimate
hours as demanded by actual news
intervals, is adequately attested by the
fact that The Stars circulation, practi-
cally all within the Washington trading
area, has continued to lead the local
field and grow healthily with the passing
years.
A new news interval appears now
to be established. So swift is the passage
of events in world, national and city
events-so interested the public in the
hourly developments-that the period
between the printing Of the morning
paper and what has until today been
the first edition of The Star, is now
too long. In recognition of this fact,
and in its determination to meet any
demand that may legitinately be made
upon an afternoon newspaper by the
Washington reading public, the noon
edition is forthcoming.
It may be counted upon to continue
The Star principles of Washington

make available to every interested
hour of it's publication. The Star offers
It to the community with confidence
and satisfaction.

third, have escaped punishment by
being placed on probation for various
periods. That is far too high percen-
tage. 1t is conceivable that there might
be mitigating circumstances, though they
do not come to mind, when the ends OF
justice would be served by proba-
tionary sentence. But that this should
be as high as one IN every three cases
Is absurd.
Law enforcement in this particular
offense is weak. The figures indicate no
let-down on the part of the police, al
though that is sure to follow any con-
tinued practice by the Police Court au-
thorities which undermines the work of
the police. Failure to dispense stern
and equal justice from the bench does
undermine police work, along with re-
spect for law.
In contrast with what many will agree
is a poor policy Of leniency on the part
of the Police Court in dealing with
drunken driving is the record of the
District Board of Suspensions and Revo-
cations, which in every case of convic-
ton for this offense has revoked or sus-
pended the drivers license. The board
deserves commendation for having
adopted a fearless and conscientious
policy in this connection. 1t is unfor-
tunate that equal praise cannot be given
the Police Court. Judge Mcmahon is
the only judge there whose record shows
sentences-and no probation-for every
conviction.

dispatches hint that Mr.. Roosevelt's
plan probably faces only one serious
snag. That Is the influence Of the
League of Nations. All but two Of the
South American republics are members
of the League. They may frown on
attempts by the United States to organ
ize the Latin American republics into
anything which might some day rival
Geneva. The League has long coveted
an extension Of its authority to the
Western continent. It made strenuous
but futile attempts to settle the Chaco
conflict. Peace was finally effected
through mediation of American States.
At Montevideo, in 1888, Secretary Hull
effectually blocked efforts to convert
the Pan-American Union into sub
sidiary regional agency Of the League.
The President has made it clear that
he is thinking only Of "supplementing
and reinforcing" League peace activi-
ties. But he makes 1t no less plain
that the problems and interests of the
Americas are essentially their own. AS
far as the United States is concerned,
it is desirable in the highest degree that
they shall continue to be treated in
complete detachment from the broils,
rivalries and intrigues Of European poll
tics. If the Inter-American Conference
records progress in that direction, it will
fortify the foundations of peace not
only on this side of the Atlantic, but
throughout the world.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

No doubt the man who requires the
praise and adulation of all with whom
he comes in contact has q mighty force
helping him.
Maybe that Is why he brags about him.
self, on every occasion. He gets this
favorable reaction, which stands him in
stead of bread and meat.
Every one knows at least one fellow
of this type-and every one knows he Is
a success.
Most often he succeeds sin a big way"
There can be little doubt that to seek
the appreciation Of others, persistently.
even with a blare of trumpets (com-
monty called blowing ones own horn")
is to get neat pat on the back when it
does the most good.
***
Such a person always is talking about
himself.
If he meets you in the elevator, the
car will not have assembled two floors
before he is off on his favorite topic.
Instead of talking about the state OF
the Nation, of the world, the probability
of war, and so on, he is interested in
nothing but himself.
What he is doing, what he did yes
terday, particularly what he Is going
to do tomorrow.
These are the worlds standard topics
for conversation, as far as he Is con-
cerned.
AS far as you, the listener, are con-
cerned, too If you let him have his way
Usually he is such persistent, pink
faced devil, that most Of us let him have
his way.
He is quick at finding sounding boards.
Not more than one conversation, If one
is good is necessary to set one
up in his esteem.
Thereafter, he naturally gravitates
toward the open ear and willing listener.
So it may be seen that unless one
does not mind him, but rather gets gen.
uine amusement out of him, it is not a
good policy to encourage him, even once.
Perhaps this is about as near as the
average male comes to being able to
comprehend the attitude Of women, who,
as a sex, must try to be pleasant with
all men.
This arises. not only because women,
as class, are better natured than men,
as a class, but also because they live in
tradition. which persists despite great
changes all around them.
1t is customary for them to be en-
couraging and helpful, hence they often
are bored to tears, as they say, by the
clumsy efforts of presidents, vice presi-
dents, executive secretaries and the like,
to act cute, kittenish and 20 in their
presence.
No Office girl would admit this, for a
second. but all you have to do is watch
them, and see how nicely they endure
the pleasantries Of their bosses, and how
capably they pat those great men on the
back.
Every pleasant person, man or woman,
has opportunities every day to function
In this capacity.
1t is one of the happinesses Of life, to
such persons. to help out all this vast
fringe of capable gentry who yet depend
so much on others.
They demand, as their right, this per-
sonal adulation. this need of praise, this
vocal encouragement.
Often it is amusing, if not little
pathetic, to see some buffalo-hke he-man

Dangerous Leniency.

There is no difference of opinion re-
garding the menace of drunken driving,
no difference of opinion regarding the
fact that the only practical way of deal
ing with the menace is to make severe
punishment certain for those convicted
of what, under any conditions, is a
grave offense.
Yet the figures published in The Sum-
day Star regarding punishment for those
convicted of drunken driving since last
August, when the new financial respon-
sibility law went into effect, indicate that
the Police Court is not dealing fairly
with the law or with the public in this
matter. OF ninety-five convictions for
this offense. thirty-hvs. more than

Inter.American Peace.

Texts are now available Of the letters
President Roosevelt recently addressed
to the other American republics, pro-
posing IAN extraordinary Inter-Ameri-
can Conference" to advance the cause
of peace throughout the Western Hemi-
sphere. While there has not been time
for formal replies. State Department
officials announce that the suggestion
has been cordially received" Subject
to anticipated approval Of Argentina,
the conference will be held in Buenos
Aires at an early date, as projected by
Mr.. Roosevelt, or elsewhere if some
other American capital is deemed more
desirable. Advance soundings give
promise that the meeting will take place
in an atmosphere destined to assure
accomplishment of its purpose.
The President emphasizes that per-
manent peace in the New World is
matter of vital concern" The steps
he has initiated would, in his estima-
ton, advance the cause of world peace"
To that end, Mr.. Roosevelt contem-
plates that any agreements reached at
an Inter-American Conference would
supplement and reinforce the efforts Of
the League of Nations and of all other
existing or future agencies in seeking
to prevent war"
The Presidents immediate inspiration
In summoning the sister Americas to
extraordinary" conference at this time
is the conclusion of peace between Bo-
livia and Paraguay after their long,
costly and sanguinary war over the
Chaco. That menace to the tranquility
of the Western continent having been
removed, Mr. Roosevelt holds the hour
propitious for the American republics
to consider their "joint responsibility
and common need of rendering less
likely in the future : I" repetition
of such American disasters" 1t is his
hope that the desired end can be
achieved in "an eminently practical
manner at a common council table"

tives at which the Presidents latest

seeking. the hattering words of his in
feriors, in order to round out his day.
If these interiors" so-called, are really
such, they will take advantage of the
occasion to indulge in gross flattery,
thereby seeking to further their own
ends, If possible.
A large number of so-called "infe-
r1ors," however, are not inferior at all,
or In any real sense but only so because
the world has agreed for so long to value
men by the money tags they can attach
to themselves.
Those good at attaching are "supe-
rior." those less capable, inferior" and
so on. 1t is all very silly, but very
enduring; there doesn't seem much
chance ever Of changing the system. 1t
is much the same as has been said Of
wealth. II you redistributed it, it would
all be back in the same hands again, so
what's the use? Those nations are hap
piest, truly, which have the best "sys-
TEN" which have stood the test of time.
Happiness, after all, is the main neces-
sity. The greatest delusion is that money
brings happiness. 1t won't, in itself.
Happiness often eludes it, runs away
from 1t, shuns it. Any one can see that
on countless faces. One can see, too, that
happiness has equally eluded thousands
who have nothing. So-what? No one
else ever solved this problem, so how
could we expect to do it?

The fellow who needs a mental mas
sage every day, who insists on greedily
seeking praise, no matter from whom, is
really searching for happiness.

it is as good a method as any.
Let no one think that all such men
are alike.
They are as different as all humans
One is jolly, the next gloomy. All the
traits of humanity are found in them
in great variety. The only thing they
agree in, is in this often unconscious
method of hunting praise and adulation
Usually they are loquacious.
This is almost necessarily SO, since they
so depend upon others.
Talk is, after all, the very bedrock,
the foundation, of human life.
These queer specimens which never say
a word, as they go through life, scare us
all away.
We are glad to get out of their sight.
Caesar was thinking OF one of them when
he said, II like men around me who
are fat"
He didn't mean fat.
He meant talkative.
Since most can talk, this will be one
of the easiest ways in the world Of doing
a good deed.
When our pink faced friend comes up,
with the desire shining in his eyes of
hearing words of praise about himself,
let us agree instantly that what he did
yesterday was one of the finest things
anybody ever did, even if it was all for
himself.
Let us commend him vastly for what
he is going to do for himself today. 1t,
too, viii be something seldom achieved,
with its entire proceeds devoted to the
well known purpose OF boosting himself.
Let us pat him on the back, too, for
what he promises to do for himself to-
morrow.
If we had any sense at all, we would
go forth and do likewise.
Not having much brains, after all, as
our friends have always suspected, we
content ourselves with finding him
amusing, instead of instructive.

Love Sonnet.

Love Sonnet.
Say not that If you lost your way
And failed to find at end of day
My waiting heart that it would be
A loss, beloved, alone to thee.
The void within me would remain
An arid spot, q well of pain,
Until the tide of love from you
Filled it again with rapture new.
The sea is wide and deep and vast,
A thousand rills 1t might outlast;
1t draws its sources far below
The surface of 1.-THE rivers now.
And yet the eager, seeking song
Sung by the rill to waters strong
Brings its own breath Of melody
To the great sea.
