Jersey City Rally.

1t is not often that conservative citi-
zens dramatic their point OF view. But
the rally in Jersey City last night repre-
Sented such an occasion and therefore
is worthy of comment. Fifteen thousand
men and women are considerable num-
ber of people. Roaring approval of
Mayor Frank Hague's resistance to
C. I. O. invasion, they indicated de-
termination to keep their community free
from outside interference. Also. they
provided practical answer to twenty
six members of Congress who had inter-
vened in behalf of John L. Lewis organ
izers, expelled by the local police
The New York Times reports that busi-
ness, civic. religious and patriotic groups
joined to stage the demonstration.
Every local union of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in the city, as well as
the Central Labor Union, and every war
veterans organization was represented.
Catholic priests sat with Protestant
ministers, and Jewish rabbis were pres
ent.' The auditorium was too small to
furnish seats for all who wished to at
tend Thousands who could not be
admitted packed nearby streets. Radical
critics 'belittled the gathering with the
charge that it merely reflected the power
of the Hague political organizati ton and
foh hwy rif NJ
others who receive favors from the ad-
ministration," but the merit of their
complaint was promptly challenged. A
large portion of the audience. it was
remarked, was politically Republican.
One of the principal speakers was former
Judge Robert Carey, twice gubernatorial
candidate on antiHague platforms. He
summed up his philosophy in the dec
laration: Il have lived in this city all
my life and do not want any half-baked
red or pink coming here to tell you or
me just how we must operate in our
own home town.
That sentiment is not rare. Indeed,
in the past several years 1t has been
growing. The transitory agitator who
undertakes to manage sit-down strikes
wherever he may think them profitable
is an Objectionable vagrant and, even
when he appeals to the sacred right Of
free speech, he is not universally popular
Mayor Hague had the wit to understand
the distinction between local and
foreign" labor leadership. He may have
been heavy-handed in his policy, but
there can be little question now about
the character of endorsement which he
has received. When the c. I. O. has
fifteen thousand friends in Jersey City
it will deserve larger sympathy in the
rest of the country than it can expect
at present.

A Parking Ban Test.

New York City has just inaugurated a
drastic daytime parking ban, and first
reports indicate that the experiment.
so characterized off1cially-holds great
promise for relief of traffic congestion
in the metropolis.
Elimination of all automobile parking,
except by trucks in the process of load
ing or unloading, has speeded traf1ic ap-
preciably on ten cross-town streets select
ed by police for the test.
The ban begins at 8 a m. and continues
until pm. every day. A special express
streets" traffic squad has been assigned
by Police Commissioner Valentine to see
that the ordinance is obeyed. Upon con-
clusion of the first day of the experiment
he announced that his men had found
splendid cooperation" and "95 per cent
compliance" Several days will be allowed
motorists to become acquainted with the
rule before tickets are handed out.
Offlcials who have proposed similar
parking ban for Washington's badly con-
gested downtown streets will find in the
New York test ammunition with which
to carry on the battle for more stringent
parking regulations here.

The Black Plague.

During the past year two men have
been making maps-Dean Earl B. Nc
Kinley Of the George Washington Uni
versity School of Medicine and Dean
Carl w. Ackerman of the Columbia
University School of Journalism
On Dean McKinley's maps of the world
are big black splotches indicating those
areas where such diseases as cholera
bubonic plague. leprosy, yellow fever and
the like are still menacing mankind.
On Dean Ackerman's map there are
much larger black splotches than on
any Of the other maps. He is trying to
portray the prevalence of relatively
new disease. probably far more serious
than any of those taken into account
BY Dean Mckinley. His black splotches
cover the whole of Russia, China, Japan
Siam, Arabia, Ethiopia, Libya, Egypt
Turkey. the Balkans, Italy, Spain. Por-
tugal, Morocco the Gold Coast. Angora,
Mozambique, Yugoslavia, Brazil and

learned that the driving time for = trip
that formerly required thirty-five min
utes was reduced to six minutes. A
tour OF the cross-town streets that con-
sumed two hours before the parking
signs went up required but one hour
and sixteen minutes when the streets
were cleared.
There were some sporadic complaints
from business interests along the affected
thoroughfares, the tenor being that pa
tronage was falling OIL. The majority OF
the business men, however, withheld
judgment until the plan could be thor
oughly tried out.
With the problem of trafic congestion
in Washington's downtown section con-
stantly growing more acute, 1t might be
good idea to launch a no-parking ex-
pertinent here without further delay.
Only by trial-and-error process will
the merits or dement's Of the oft-debated
proposal be determined to the satisfac-
ton Of all concerned.

Guatemala. There are also gray splotches
indicating the areas into which the dis
ease is spreading. These cover India,
Burma, Lithuania, Latvia, most OF Gen.
trail America, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, Bo-
livia, Paraguay, Quebec and Alberta.
Dean Alderman labels his disease "the
black plague of the twentieth century"
1t is the abolition of the freedom of the
press by governments.
Dean Mckinley plans from time to
time to make more maps. He hopes, and
confidently expects, that his black
patches will grow smaller and smaller
every year.
Dean Alderman also expects to make
more maps. He fears that his black
splotches will grow larger. Perhaps even
tually his whole map may be black with
few white patches interposed here and
there.
Black will be an appropriate color.
There is no need to defend the freedom
of the press in the United States-not
yet. 1t is the surest way to kill the mind
of people-the surest way to kill the
mind OF mankind.
Dean Ackerman accompanies his map,
part of his annual report with a warm
ing. Let the newspapers keep in good
condition to resist the disease germs, just
as folks are urged by doctors to keep
in good condition to resist the germs
of pneumonia. An unscrupulous and un-
intelligent press is more easily infected
than a scrupulous and intelligent one.
1t always will be harder for govern
ment to curb the freedom of newspapers
if the newspapers themselves maintain
professional standards of ethics and
competency.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES 3. TRACEWELL.

thing that he is wrong, let me think
instead why he put 1t as he did and
see If cannot find the reason therefor"
The writer here, no more than the
rest Of humanity, is free from this fault.
He was very much ashamed Of himself
the other day on criticising a photo
graph Of long tailed mouse which hap
pened to show everything except the
tail, to find out that the photographer
had not been dumb, as he thought, but
had tried, tried again to the point Of
exhaustion, each time the four-legged
beastie having fiirted that long tail out
of the way just as the shutter was
snapped.
1t is so easy, in this world, to attribute
either ignorance, or "dumbness," its
modern slang equivalent, to people on
the jump as 1t were, without stopping
to seek some other explanation.
Often there is another explanation
It is one Of the real joys of life to
seek these explanations, instead Of re-
posing smugly in the very first thought
that flashes into the mind.
We ought all to be very suspicious OF
first thoughts.
Many of us know how completely
erroneous first judgments OF people are
for instance.
1t Is very common thing to hear
some one say, after a first meeting, Il
don't like him." or II think she is a
sap" or some other such uncomplimen-
tary thing.
Intolerance grips even the kindest
people at times.
1t Is unfortunate that the word has
been used mainly in regard to religious
beliefs, for the small intolerances of the
everyday life are so many that they
loom large.
1t is an interesting occupation. for odd
moments, to question ones own beliefs
as to the errors of others.
Especially in regard to the use OF
words
Writing Of worth always means more
than the words say. Perhaps the great
est Of all examples along this line are
the essays and other writings of Ralph
Waldo Emerson.
The reader who insists on taking them
literally, word for word, misses the best
part of them
that his ideas fairly tumbled over each
other.
Good workman that he was, he re-
allied that to include enough words to
tell all he thought would be to write
far, far over the lengths he permitted
himself.
Hence he left out about three out OF
every four ideas. leaving the reader to
put them in for himself as he read, if
he could.
Many readers cannot do it, that is
why Emerson is to them bare and un-
interesting.
Most writer's. even good ones, cannot
emulate the great sage; they must be
content with using most of their thoughts
as they go along and blessing the uni
yersal genius Of the universe for them.
They will ask, however, that readers
give them credit for knowing what they
are doing and realize that the diction-
ary, useful and indispensable work that
it is, is only small part, after all, of
any writer or readers stock in trade.

Dear Sir: With reference to the in

cember 81, 1887, believe the word
'virulent' has been used incorrectly.
Sincerely, A. r."
Up. S.-Virulent, adjective: Very pol
sonous or venomous; actively injurious
to life or health: bitter in enmity;
malignant"
The use Of words is one of the most
interesting things ir the life Of every
body, for we all use them every day, can
not get along without them, indeed.
Those who earn their living with words
have a special duty in regard to them,
that is, to use them correctly.
This correctness, however, includes
more than the dictionary.
The sentence quoted In the above
letter read:
"A Christmas without books had
seemed impossible until the virulent
form Of (phonograph) record admira-
ton came into being"
The adjective was used with an exact
understanding Of its meaning, both from
the dictionary standpoint and from the
other standpoint.
This other standpoint is that OF the
wide, wide world
1t is permissible to Use words some

vided one knows what one Is doing and
feels sure that most readers will credit
him the knowledge.

ried to an extreme-to the detriment Of
books, the first beloved-he properly may
use some word which puts this in an
exaggerated form.
Exaggeration is one of the pets of all
writer's and readers.
1t has its best place in humorous
writing. but may enhance any form Of
composition. provided both writer and
reader are close enough to understand
one another.
A "virulent form Of admra ton" would
be, indeed, an almost deadly. even ven-
omous, form Of admiration.
This would be we'll understood by most
readers.
Only the person with too literal mind
will demand strictly literal usage of
all words.
True correctness in the use of words
allows for some good exaggeration. espe-
cially when it is plainly carried in the
context.
A Christmas without books, for book
lover, why, 1t seemed utterly impossible!
Yet here was booklover who, at
least for the time being had forgotten
books, and had put all his spare money
into albums of discs-symphonies, SON

To the booklover this will seem. surely,
virulent, poisonous to a degree, a back
sliding. a venomous use of funds, in
furious even to life and health!

Course Of Wisdom.
A wise philosopher retired
Into lonely cell
His thought was very much admired
Wherever mortals dwell.
But, oh, It's sad to say that when
He came to pay his rent,
And studied his affairs again
He didn't have cent!
Next day he found a motley suit
All trimmed with tinkling bells.
His phrase, once rated as astute,
Mid smiling affluence dwells.
And soon these sapient words he spoke
Unto the listening town:
while a philosopher goes broke,
