The Guardian, under his leader- ship, became known the world around for fairness, for justice, for discrim- inating intelligence. Many of those who wefe unable to agree with his stand on vital issues respected and admired him most—and there can be no greater testimonial to his mind and character than that. Many of the great issues for which he fought for justice to Ireland, against an unrelenting imperialism, and so on— have, long afterwards, found an echo in the minds and hearts of the peo- ple of England. The Guardian was often ahead of its time, particularly in holding to the line of reason as opposed to illogical and dangerous mob emotionalism. Perhaps no single force, apart from. government, did more than it to influence the course of England's destiny in this century. Charles Scott was one of the great men of his age: He will be missed, not only in England but in other countries to which the things he fought for with unflagging courage are important—and those who were his enemies in battles of the mind ‘will not miss him less than those who followed where he led. In many ways the world he has left is a better world than ‘the one he was born into be- cause of the work he carried on devotedly through two generations. His profession is the poorer because of. his passing—and at this time, it is good to reflect on the power of the press and of the unwritten obliga- tions it should live up to on account of it. 500 Per Cent Jump in Federal Taxes In a recent address, U. S. Senator Felix Herbert of Rhode Island, point- ed out that a few years ago a trem- endous hue and cry was heard be- cause the cost of the federal govern- ment had reached $1,000,000,000 a year.. Yet, at the last session of con- gress, appropriations made totaled more than four billion dollars. In| the 31 years between 1900. and the present, the per capita cost of the federal government increasd from $6.84 to $32.96—about 500 per cent, “With a never ending extension of the activities of government into’ other fields than those originally con- templated by the founders,” said Senator Herbert, “those increased costs are inevitable. Through the ef- forts of organized minorities, we are constantly broadening the scope of our operations, and naturally increas- ing our costs,” Most of us have been under the impression that this nation is ruled by majorities, but the gentleman from Rhode Island points out one of our great political weaknesses. A vocal and belligerent minority often finds it possible to submerge the in- terests of the majority by sheer weight of sound if by no other method. ‘The very inarticulateness of the majority has made this the course of Jeast resistance for men in public of- fice. The results are shown in the tax figures.

Be Your Own Inspector America has encountered its usual seasonal problem this year—that of keeping warm without burning up. Fires started by faulty heating sys- tems spread rapidly and are extreme- jy hazardous to property. The num- coming of cold weather, according to writers, which also reports that fires from all causes take an annus! toil of 10,000 lives and almost a half bil- lion dollars in property in America. the chimney and heating plant nct only impairs their efficiency but 1s an actual fire hazard. Chimneys may develop cracks, furnaces and stoves may need parts replaced, pipes may rust out and develop holes which would,permit sparks to escape. These or similar problems are also found) in other buildings, but on a larger scale, Other factors which would make for safety are placing ashes in metal containers instead of wood boxes or cartons, and keeping paper and rubbish away from stoves or fur- naces. Sometimes when houses are buiit, pipes are placed too close to burnabie materials or the heating system is improperly installed. Specifications for correct installation of these plants and the building of chimneys may be obtained from local inspection bu- reaus or insurance agents. When the heating element is electricity, oil or gas, an entirely new series of prol- Jems is developed, and unless the ap- pliances comply with the standard specifications of Underwriters’ Labor- atories and are maintained correctly, destructive fires may result. If every property owner would be- come his own fire inspector, the fire loss could be permanently reduccd overnight. New York, Jan. 19.—Just outside the broad, rust-red entranceway to Carnegie Hall a concert goes on nightly that it not to be found on the Manhattan program lists during the season, The virtuoso is “Cap'n John.” His instrument is a squeaky, overshrill Arkansas fiddle. His repertoire is made up of old-fashioned hoe-down tunes. Wheat as Federal Aid There is a Ict of sound good sense in the senate’s plan to put 40,000,000 bushels of farm board wheat at the disposal of relief agencies to feed the unemployed. The government spent good money for this wheat—more money, beyond. question, than it would never be able to get out of it; and so far the pres- ence of all of this wheat in govern- ment bins has been more of a curse than a blessing. Meanwhile, there are millions of men who are not go- ing to eat unless someone gives them their food. To give them govefnment wheat is nothing more than ordinary common sense. Of course, this means that the un- employed will, in a sense, be getting federal aid, which—as practically everybody agrees — is a frightful thing. But it’s not quite the same as a direct congressional grant of money, and those 40,000,000 bushels of wheat ought to make a lot of bread. All in all, the plan looks like @ very good one Captain John would consider twice be- fore selecting this particular setting for his sidewalk concerts. After all, the crowds leaving Carnegie have been spending a couple of hours lis- tening to the world’s great masters. Perhaps they have heard a symphony, ® piano recital or a tamous violinist. When they exit, their enthralled eardrums are ringing with fresh memories. And then—squeak! squeak —in the cold street outside the cap’n is waiting. He is fiddling away, just as though he might be the best and, only musician in the world. “Poor ola fellow,” they say, drop some coins in his cup. A few indicate annoyance at this intrusion on an esthetic thrill. . “What a nerve!” the comment. . “What irony!” But they, too, often wind up by dropping coins. After a while, they learn to know that he will be there, and he always is. * OK Ok At the lunch the other day, severa? of us began to wonder what might have become-of a certain young man who, for his brief moment, was a sort of hero.

Municipal Bankruptcy (Minneapolis Tribune) How much is the city’s credit worth to it? What is the valye of a sound system of budgeted financing to any community? Only the lack of eitaer of these can demonstrate to a city the importance of keeping its fi- nances and its credit jealously guard- ed. Minneapolis, enjoying both sound credit and a fairly well budgeted sys- tem of municipal financing, may look. with sympathy upon the plight of such large cities as Philadelphia and Chicago. Philadelphia is reported as being unable to sell a recent bond is- sue, and Chicago is faced with bank- ¥ Tuptey unless it receives immediate { and effective aid.
