Seattle tar Pud vine Ase a men fan Frenciee New Tork oftion Rpeclal Represent efficn, Tribune Bt office, Tremont I It's Bunk, Chief ILACING the blame on the public for grafting and dis: honest policemen is pure bunk To say that an officer's morals are broken down by bribes and gifts is mere piffle. A good man who does his work well knows that the gifts come because the public ap preciates it. Bribes are never accepted by an honest man and are mever given unless the giver expects the policeman to per imit him to violate some law. Of course there are law breakers who will offer bribes If there were none—if the public was as good as the chief wants it to be—there would be no cause for policemen or chiefs of police to apologize for law violators But society recognizes there are “black sheep” in its midst. That’s why society as a whole has a police force ‘picked to protect society from these “black sheep.” The policeman is not expected to be better than society as a whole. He is expected to be better than the “black sheep” in society. And the chief knows that any officer who takes a bribe to permit law violation is unfit for the police forge and is violating the oath society has prescribed for him, to pre- vent just that thing happening. Why We Live HE Great Mystery is, not what becomes of us after we die, but why we live at all. Thru all the cen duries man has sought to penetrate the black curtain and learn what awaits him in the Hereafter. By the law of cause and effect, the condition in the Hereafter depends on the life we live Here. All religions of large followings agree that this life is preparatory to what follows after death. This is true from the Christian believing that heaven awaits him if he behaves and obeys the rules, to the Oriental, who fears that if he doesn’t live properly on earth he will have to come back and do it all over again. , + Life is a journey between two unknown stations. Life is a training school—a spiritual gymnasium, in which ob- Stacles and temptations are sent to develop our spiritual strength. ~ We come into this world with certain definite tasks to flo. These tasks are in proportion to our natural abilities. The man who is destined to dig ditches all his life and Who does the best he can, is as much a success as the man Who leads the people politically or as head of giant in- dustries. The thoro ditch digger, living as a good citizen, is a far greater success than the man who, given great power in life, abuses his power or fails to use it for the gecomplishment of good. Success is not a thing that can be measured by any himiversal yardstick. It is relative to our natural abilities And opportunities. Taking Our Advice h E AMERICANS seem to be able to handle hot po- i tatoes with fewer burns than any other people. It looks now as if American capital will operate the Bagdad railway. Germany’s determination to control that line was one of the main causes of the world war. And yet Americans could take charge with little or no friction. | We appear to have a sort of destiny as an international ‘eferee. (Graybeard nations look to young America for Advice. That’s unusual. However, they don’t always take the advice. t Changing the Weather GS can be dissolved by scattering electrically-treated ; sand from airplanes, according to latest scientific belief. Government planes are experimenting around n. + Ed Howe once ‘said that everybody is forever talking about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it. But it may not be altogether impossible for future man to regulate his weather materially. Some weather experts believe that we have already _ehanged the climate in Eastern states by irrigation in the West—damming up several hundred million acres of water _ im regions where evaporation is rapid, thus generating Storm centers. Better Preparation EV. CLAUSEN enters his 6-year-old son in the class R of 1941 of an Eastern university. He was afraid, if he waited longer, the enrollment list would be overflowed. Getting quite common, to book a youth several years ahead for college entrance. The colleges are swamped With customers. Higher education is increasingly within _ feach of more and more of the population. That means the level of average prosperity is rising. A Healthy Growth : REIGN trade is looking up. Exports of American manufactured goods in the fiscal year 1924, to end June 30, will be 200 million dollars ahead of the year be- fore and 400 millions ahead of 1922. | Unlike the wartime boom, this is a healthy growth. It’s apt to be permanent. And, as a matter of fact, the physical volume of our foreign trade during the war boom exceeded normal by only 6 per cent. The supposed gain was a price hoax. There weren’t more exports. They LETTER FROM Dear Folks: June 6, 1924. Today our fire horses end their long and useful course, Din- carded, now, our loyal friend, the noble fire horse.
