Example is more forcible than’ precept, as is well known. In the main, example works either by restraining a man or by encouraging him. It has the former effect when it‘de- termines him to leaye undone what he wanted todo. He sees that other people do not do it; and from this’ he judges,*in general, that he should not. Or he may see thai another man, who has not-refrained, incurred evil consequences from doing it. The example which encourages a man works in a two-fold manner. It either in- duces him to do what he would be glad to do undone if he were not afraid the omission might in some way endangér him, or injure him in others’ opinion; or else it encourages him to do what he is glad to do, but has hitherto refrained from doing from fear of danger or shame. ‘ Finally, example may bring a man to do what he would have otherwise never thought of doing. It is believed the whole infuence of example—and it is very strong—rests on the fact that a man has, as a rule, too little judgment of his own, and often too little knowledge, to explore his own way jor himself and that he is glad, therefore, to tread in the steps of someone else. We all follow the beaten paths when we can. Accordingly, the more deficient a man is in either, judg- ment or knowledge, the more he is open to the influence of example, and we find, in fact, that most men’s guiding star is the example of others. That their whole course in life, in great things and small, comes in the end to be mere imitation. That not even in the pettiest matters do they act according to their own judgment. It has been well said that imitation and custom are. the spring of almost ali human action. Very Properly President Coolidge, naturally and properly, has turned down all suggestions that he attend the meeting of, the -insti- tute'of politics at Williamstown. The president of the United States would be highly out of place at these gatherings, where subjects of the utmost political importance are discussed in: i frank and informal manner. The president could not say a word there that would not be magnified to the last ounce thut the speculative traffic would bear and immediately interpreted as bearing directly upon the world political situation. He could not even listen to discussions without giving them an artificia) importance out of all proportion to their actual significance. Every public utterance of the president is vested with a stri formality. His approval or disapproval of a point at issue— even his indifference to it—has greater bearing upon internat ional affairs than that of any other individual in the world. He must perforce abide by every formality. He would be, en- tirely out of place amid the informality prevailing at the Wil- liamstown discussions. “Indecent Music” The police of the national capital have found a regulation forbidding “indecent music.” Some authorities are of opinion that there is no such animal, but the Washington police be lieve the animal exists and they propose to hunt him dow: Those who really know what music is are inclined to sid vith the police. While we are unalterably opposed to settin up any more regulation of the people, even to secure reformin the music inflicted upon the public, we believe we already sufficient authority in existence to declare a thing a nu 1 when it fits the legal definition. And if the great majority of the musical offerings, these days, do not come within the def inition of nuisance, will some professor of harmony please classify the sounds that emanate from the yarious instru mtnts called musical, by courtesy only. ©, music what crimes are committed in they name Menace of the Headlight Unless automobile makers do something about the head- light, automobiling is going to be hurt as a pastime. The mat ter rests with the makers of automobiles, who have done so much to improve the car itself. There is no need of more than one-half the light that the headlights diffuse. Dimmers, are not uged by one automobilist out of 100, The Ford car is the worst offender of the lot—its lights running on magnetos working up powerful blinders. Automobilists say the evil is growing. The lenses that, are said to “diffuse” the light are no relief, as a rule. The lamps are all too bright and the demand for brighter and brighter lights is growing unchecked. It takes nerye to drive thirty miles on a narrow road, facing a procession of blinding, vlar ing lights. Here is a real problem for automobile makers that requires solution Before the Hatching Hardly a day passes that some politic does not give out an interview relative to a bill, or bills, that he intends to introduce in the first session of the next congress. If all these measures talked about are introduced, congress would-be in session many months to give even a small share of consider- ation to the half of them It is more than likely, however, that the leaders of con- gress will not permit the consideration of any “freak” legisla- tion, as they are aware that the president and the people want only such laws as will materially benefit the country and help continue the prosperity that this country enjoys. There enough laws on the statute books now that mean nothing. The present administration is determined that the best that can be done for the people by legislation will be done, but it does not intend to lend its aid to the passage of any measure merely that some individual may get his name before the publie. During the last campaign the opposition said Coolidge didn’t talk much. Tis policy of tax reduction and economy in the government's business means more to the folks who work for a living than all the oratory that was ever let loose, sae nsai Sten La Bal nihil Cac Se we ncn on ams ot aterm The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the uee for publication. of all news credited in this paper and also the local news published herein. 283 Steger Bldg., Chicago, 01; 286.

Morgan Shuster of’. New York ‘went. to Teberan as financial adviser*to the government, His tenure of: office covered only @ few months, be cause,» of ‘the frowning _atti- tude and ma- chinations of Imperial Russia. But his efforts left. so indelible an impress upon the hearts and imaginations of the: Persian of- ficlaldom " and people alike that when the Anglo- Persian agree AAULUSPRUGH ; waentarcbeoice down {n 1921' Washington again was appealed to for assistance. Accord- ingly, Dr. “Arthur C. Millspaugh, foreign trade adviser of the state department, was sent -to Teheran with a staff of-spectalists in eco- nomics. Now. Millspaugh, administer gen: eral of Finances of Persia, is in this country to round up # dozen more American financial and other experts to return with ,him and assist in the further rehabilitation of the nation. “For various reasons,” said Dr. Millspaugh the other day, “Persia, its people and its problems, remain somewhat of.a mystery to the out- side world. But this should not be so, The Persians are of the same racial stock as ourselves, the Aryan. Teheran homes are as comfortable and well appointed as any to be found. The people have culture and industry and the sentiment of pa- triotism is reaching a point never known before, “The greatest stumbling block in the path of progress has been lack of transportation facilities. Persia in’ general {s-a tableland, walled by Breat mountain ranges. Alexander Powell effectively describes the top- ography that-confronts the trayeler when he speaks of ‘climbing into Persia.” “It. was inevitable, accordingly, that Persia should be economically backward, but the country 1s rich in natural wealth and possibilities and. the people haye the will to achfeve. First, of course, they must solve the. transportation problem. This task has been tackled.

For, al- though, when Shuster left the coun- try {n_1912; he traveled in the only automobile in Persia, a French ma- chine owned’ by the Shah, motor cars, many ‘of’ American manufac- ture, are to be found throughout Persia.today. .
