UTUAL respect and mutual confidence are principles essential to the carrying on of Many system of community government. They are . @specially important as between the people at large ) sand those to whom are intrusted such affairs as the guardianship of the public peace and safety. Evidently this is a fact taken too slightly into § ‘account by some citizens. Henoe the amazing tes- 4 timony of a body of jurors in the Court of Gen- | etal Sessions yesterday to a marked distrust of the * evidence offered by policemen under oath. & No really substantial explanation seems to have , been brought forward for this attitude on the -part ! of the men on the panel. Apparently the matter was one of prejudice—an ill-thinking of the casual . ‘man in the street as against the man in the uni- - form of authority. Such was the view of Judge Rosalsky, we suspect, prompting the words of just rebuke which he addressed to the outspoken six. Said the Judge: Then you have no business here as jurors, ! My own experience of long years on the bench and in the practise of Jaw is that 99 per cent, of the police are honest and truthful. ‘They are brave and public-spirited men. ‘They die cheerfully in the performance of their duty. They bring up their children aa / “good citizens. One of our ablest Judges is » the son of a policeman, The rogue’s hatred of the law he seeks con- tinually to evade is proverbial. One can look neither with complacence nor un- derstanding upon the careless flouting of the law's servants ‘by those who count upon its protection. Did Hizzoner think of us yesterday as he lay on the beach in his bathing suit and watched his toes freckle? ‘ WHAT OUR CHILDREN KNOW. T WILL take a long time to summarize the im- portant lessons to be drawn from the Review of Reviews’s attempt to learn by the questionnaire ‘process the general state of boy-and-girl intelligence in the United States. At the moment, the outstanding fact seems to be that the juvenile mind jn the great city is less conspicuously superior to that in the rural districis $ capacity for legal holidays. New Year's Day, WHERE IS IT? | lageeay hice is what both country and Con: gress seem to find the President's statemen on the proposed soldiers’ bonus. Those who consistently oppose the bonus can’t stomach the President's cowardice in not coming out boldly against a thing he plainly disapproves. Those who favor a bonus gag at a sales tax 1s the sole Presidential recommendation for raising the money. How the formidable “Farm Bloc” in Congress looks at the sales tax proposition is made clear by one of the Bloc leaders, Representative Frear of Wisconsin: “The proposal to finance the soldiers’ bill with a consumption tax means to tax the living wage of labor when ¢he average man is receiving less than $500 pre-war purchas- Ing power per family, and it taxes the farmer, whose average earnings are $219 pre- war purchasing power on all that his famtfiy consumes, “In Canada it is estimated that # (the sales tax) increased the cast of ving from $2© to $80 per family, due to pyramiding of ‘prices, Clothing, shoes, food, gasoline, ma- chinery, everything not specifically exe:apted, is Increased in price from two to ten times the amount of the tax, according to Cana- dian experience. “It is a gold brick tax to the soldier, who would help pay his own bonus whether he las a job or not.” That's how the farmer and his representatives in Congress eye the tax which President Harding professes to believe the American people will ac- cept “as a burden that adds no difficulties to the problems of readjustment” and that “does not coi- mii ihe Government to class imposition of taxes ” The fact is the President's vacillating weakness and unwarranted assumptions regarding the bonus and the public attitude toward it have only pro- duced fresh irritation. He is like the mothes’ who said to the child: “What's the matter, Boss?” cried Dave cheerfully, t lby writers who display woful igno- will be ‘Look what the profiteers and faith is the daughter of the soul, At times some debts are unavoid- gay gallantry? Yet I'd know when you kissed me your heart was not mine, But kneeling in tears at a lost lady’s shrine. \ Or if I should seek him who loves me too well, Do you think with my head on Ris breast he could tell? Would he know that however: Z strove to be true My vagabond heart was still following you? This dicing of hearts is @ perilous game: Be it one or another the end is the same, There is sure to be sorrow however they fall, So I think I shall not have a lover at all. So in her book of verse, “Vigils” (Doran), Aline Kilmer presenta “Words to an Irish Air.’ Words, it will be noticed, with dis. tinctively an Irish lilt. ee ‘the Woman in Trade--- | In his book “In Defense of, Wom- en," now in revised edition (Knopf), H. L. Mencken says: Whenever a woman goes into trade she quickly gets a reputatiom as a sharp trader, ‘ Tho man who tackles such. an Amazon of barter takes his fortune if his hands; he has ‘little more chance of success against the femie nine technique in business than has against the femintme technique in marriage. in beta arenas the advantage of women lies in their freedom. from sentimentality, In business they address them- selves wholly to their own profit and give no thought whatever to the hopes, aspirations and amour propre of their antagonists.
