UBSCRIPTION RATE Carrier and Outside State e Daily “Tri es One month In TRIBUNE ful arrears, A Gentlemen's Agreement Much newspape. and considerable comment has been devoted to a certain agreement entered into by Samuel M. Vauclain, head of the Baldwin Locomotive works and other Baldwin officials a ng to abstain from violation of the Volstead act and all other prohibition laws, while in the ter- ritory of the United States. Mr. Vauclain bets ten thousand dollars he will adhere to the agreement, and the others bet one Space thousand dollars each that. they will keep their pledge. The gentlemen that it is because of their desire to obey the law because it is right and such abstention , moral and physical good. elf sacrifice applies only while the United States.Elsewhere the agreement is null and void and the signers of the document may do as they please with reference to the use of liquors. If abstaining from drink in the United States is advan tageous and desirable, and conducive to mental, moral and physical good why would not such action apply elsewhere? These locomotive merchants travel all over the world in wet as well as dry countries, Why should they reserve the privilege of lifting liquor in wet territory at pleaseure, while foregoing the privilege at home, simply because the law forbids, and most people disregard the law If drinking liquor is a bad thing one place it is equally bad in every other place. And it would seem that Mr. Vauclain and his friends did not take in enough territory when they signed their gentlemen’s agreement from liquors is for men noted that suck the jurisdiction of It is within If their idea was to set an example in law observance at home, it was worthy as far as it goes, but if they are sin- cere in the whole thing they should amend their agreement to include the rest of the world, and cover especially the wet ter- ritory adjacent to the United States If the locomotive builders propose to be pure and holy at home, they should be pure and holy everywhere else. There is altogether too much opportunity under the agreement Having Hard Luck The saviors of the Dentocratie party. Those who would dig it out of the mud and reorganize it and lick it into shape for 1928 are having a sad experience. Franklin Roosevelt. took the job upon his shoulders and discovered so much jealousy and rivalry among the leaders that he gaye up the job in disgust. Thomas Fortune Ryan was the next to uhdertake the work of salvage and found a similar situation staring him in the face. He will likely drop the effort as hopeless. The fact is that the party has never recovered from the convention battle of 1 nd is not likely to rid itself of the results of that contest for some years to come The echoes of the fierce rivalry between Smith and McAdoo still reverbrate whenever any well-meaning Democratic reor- ganizer speaks of harmony. It is still a cause for civil war when peace is mentioned, just as much as it was when the convention was in the midst of its great hair pulling contest in the summer of 1924, A generation must pass before the wounds of the battle of Madison Square are healed A Hopeless Hope We know now, how to account for the vanishing American waistline in these degenerate days. The explanation has just been brought over by Miss Ronny Johannson, a Swedish dancer. The lady says she retains her youthfulness and her per- fect figure by drinking champagne. This she says makes her the beautiful and perfect ceature she There is only one drawback, as we see it, to adopting Miss Johannson’s recipe and becoming youthful, graceful, beautiful and the owner of a syclt figure.

The press, pulpit, and lecture platform are al! engaged in the discussion. Among the high class metropolitan news- papers writing on the subject is the Boston Transcript. It says: “To what extent are American parents to blame for what the Lit erary Digest describes as ‘the tor- rible precocity 'n crime?” The Digest says that this precocity “appears to be the distinguishing feature of the great age of jazz." There fol- lows indictment of both young and old. ‘The flouting of the law and the ordinary conventions and decen- cles of society by the generation now growing gray has set an example, court records and newspapers show, which the cradle itself is learning to follow with exact precision and deadly effect." In support of the indictment and in search for the causes of the condition It thus sets forth, the Literary Digest asked dis. trict attorneys the country over for an exprersion of their opinions con cerning the prevalence of crime ung. It ts significant that nearly all of those who have replied say that lack of the proper home life and of religious training has much to do with the case. It is to be observed, however, that some among these officials throw the em- phasis on other causes, “Opinions of three of the ‘officials quoted may be taken as falrly rep- resentative of the general trend of all. D. E, O'Brien, clty prosecutor of Omaha, censures “the majority ofifathers and mothers for their in- differences to the standards of mor- als maintained by their children, due to a great extent to the desire for pleasures or the part of the par- ents." Mrs. Alice L. Magill, of the Prosecuting attorney's office of Los Angeles, puts the decline of moral influence in the home in second place. First she places the greater opportunity for wrong-doing. Sam- ue! P. Rotan, district attorney of Philadelphia, says that the type of offences committed by juveniles is growing more and more serious and finds that the causes are many, in- cluding bad home conditions, and, in particular, the break-up of good home supervision through economic conditions which force the mother out to work, a reaction from sound religious dicipline, unrestricted sale of. firearms, the increased cost of Uving, and, with It, the inordin desire for luxuries even among ver young people. ‘otan points to w eves may be still another cause and uggests stud t the methods of dealing with y may be preserved 8 eliminat nat he be. good in nev delinquen the abus He holds in the juvenile courts, with underlyin neiples he is in ¢ the » Is altogether too much leniency some of the judges continuing “a lad on probation for ten or twelve times for as many offences until he has an utter t for the sty of the law So we have three general « assigned for youthful delinquency manifested In these days tleth century.

And, third, there is the laxity in the administra- tion of the criminal law in the cases of young offenders. But it is easter to find the causes than to apply the remedy. How Is the generation that {s growing gray to be made to mend ‘ts ways? In what manner can our sophisticated young people be made to find pleasure in the simple life? Where {s the line to be drawn In the case of the youthful offender at the bar between mercy because he is young in years and severity because he is not a child in crime?

The Moon is a peach Che Casver Daily Cribune Easter Eggs It is of interest to readers to know something of the custom of dyed gs at Easter time. The egg has loug been looked upon as a symbol of creation or new birth, or regeneration. Accord- Ing to the Persians, the world was hatched from an egg, and, as in the days before Christ, the Parsees still exchange gifts of colored eggs at the New Year's festival. Christian- ity invested the Paschal egg with the new significance of the resur- rection of Christ, and eggs were col- ored red primarily in allusion to His blood, Going back in mythology to the worship of the Goddess Oastre— which appears to be another name for Venus—the spring festival of the ancients having been a form of devotion to Venus, the custom of gifts of colored eggs a@t that'festival has not only remained to the pres- ent day, but is now @ universal cus- tom throughout the civilized world. In France at Easter time the par- ish priest goes among his parishion- ers to bless their homes, and in re- turn receives gifts of colored eggs. In Russia they carry a number of colored eggs with them on Easter morning, which they present to thelr friends. In the churches in Russia after the services are over Priests and Jaymen click eggs to- gether in the same mafiner in which we used to touch glasses indicative of kindly feelings. In Germany the Easter fete is occasion for a five-dag holiday, be- gioning with Greun Donnerstag and lasting through Ostern Montag. In this country our presidents have for many years opened the White House lawn to an egg roll- ing on Easter Monday, and the pop- ularity of this affair has brought about the present vogue of munici- pal egg hunts. In this connection the belief must be corrected that “Paas egg dyes are among the last disappearing remind. ers of the fugitive and elusive signs of spring—found only in out-of-the- way places In the lttle old-fashioned shops.” The little packages can be obtained in all modern shops in the busiest sections of every community. Civic societies all over the country are beginning to stage annual egg hunts for the children of the com- munity in the same way that tho municipal Christmas tree is now a pretty fixture among civic events. pes. sash Dl The President’s Way It is reported that the president, ed by a woman, what young son uld study, replied: “Latin, Greek nd mathematics! They will make n work, He needs to be made to work.” Mr, Coolidge makes no complaint of the drudgery of his office, of which the country has heard so much the last few years.

He takes the mechanics as well as the high decisions of his of- fice as all in the day's work, and is said to regard the drudgery part as good for himself, a sort of offset to the intellectual functioning. The dietarians nowadays hold that our food requires a factor of “rough. age’ which isn't assimilated, but which helps the disposal of waste. The old notion of a concentrated diet of nothing but essentials, has gone into limbo. The human sys- tem needs foods as they are, in part nutritive, in part surplusage. The pseudo-intellectualists are al- ways complaining of drudgery. Yet the drudgery in any intellectual ad- venture furnishes ballast for the craft. Spinoza, the Spanish Jew of Amsterdam, one of nature's best éx- amples of sublime intellect, ground glasses to support himself rather meagerly. Certainly the trade did not hinder him from creating a metaphysics which was comprehen- sive and profound. Doubtless while his skillful fingers moved, his vast mind turned over the enormous prob- lems with which it concerned itself. Spinoza in his garret, bent over his tools, was not a figure to be com- miserated, but a man to be envied, as one engaged in a helpful, not a hindering drudgery. The greater portion, quantitative- ly, of any work is drudgery. And the larger portion of drudgery is good for man, teaches him patience, the mastery of his own rebellions and erraticisms. Napoleon, no doubt, was the profoundest strategist, the | ablest tactician in history, but how! he planned the "Marengo campaign iNlustrates his laborious method as contrasted with his intuition. At Dijon for months, day and night, he and Davoust, his greatest general tolled at the details to prepare that force which he was to take over the St. Bernard Pass into Italy upon the Austrian rear. Too little education these days is directed toward making youngsters work. It aims in getting them in- terested, In appealing to their play faculty. Stiff discipline is not much considered. The child isn’t trained to do what is unpleasant, what is difficult. Consequently, the pupil at the end of the course has missed something that the old system sup-' plied.

Advertised Brands Statistics show us that $75,000,000 were spent for batteries last year. Of this amount 80 per cent or $60, 000,000 went to the five largest makers—every one a staunch be- ‘ever in good advertising.

It is certainly true that th markets have been wild and that such markets and conditions are very undesirable. The exchanges, however, have had nothing to do with the prices, except as they have afforded the facilities for trading. These facilities have made possible the large volume of~ operations. Without them thousands of individ- uals who did not have storage fa- cilities of thelr own could not have made the purchases which were largely influential] in putting the grains up, or made the sales which were résponsible for the decline. Unquestionably there are some dis- advantages incidental to having large public participation in the markets. The public is very Ikely when excited to run to extremes, first one way and then the other. The professional! speculator or dealer who makes a study of supply and demand conditions and operates within his capital exerts a stabiliz- ing influence in the market, but this is not true of most of the casual speculators who are attracted to the market by rising prices and reports | of big profits. The experienced trader generally wants to get out of the market when the !mpromptu speculators come in, for he regards them as dangerous company. They THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1925 guided by intelligent calculation and thaf eventually bring up in a crash. It is evident that every rising price novement must culminate’ sooner r later. ‘The prudent and well-in formed holders. begin to get out, prices begin to sag, and if the mar- ket Is largely in the hands of over. extended speculators it is likely to collapse like a house of cards. The “short” sellers of course are on hand to assist in the undoing. They are on the look-out for just such situa tions. However, the alternative to a mar- | ket in which the public participates | largely {s one in which there are comparatively few buyers. Which is | best for sellers? The grain crops come on the market rapidly after harvest, and so long as this is the case a broad market in which par-) ticipation is open and free is more | likely to carry the load without de- pression than a market of limited participation. The features of which complaint are are incl- dental to a broad market of ample facilities.
