Zoning Interesting facts are being brought to light every day about zoning. a question that is under discussion here in Sonvalk. Zoning is spreadng rapidly. espe- cially in smaller communities where ti can be handled. In the large cities. great growth has balked re- districting to some extent. To date. however, over the United States eleven states have adopted a zoning enabling act and 22,000,000 of our people are living under the plan. Secretary Hoover is intensely in- terested in the idea and is doing all he can to have it adopted every- where. He says: "The discovery that it is practical. by city zoning, to carry out reason- able neighborly agreements as to the use of land. has made an almost in— stant appeal to the American peo- le." D It is to be hoped that the city will give the matter attention. give it broad discussion and thrash out every angle of it so that Norwalk. if possible. can take advantage of s. well-made city plan and not. in future, have business mixed with homes. as if they were dropped , from an airplane to land anywhere. Pohtical Bosses What gave the great political bosses of the past their strange in power? asks Prof. Ezra Bowen Current History Magazine. Loyalty; unremitting labor in the interest of party: patience. and the huge men- tal inertia of a people ’vvho pre- ferred to have their minds made up for them—but here is Platt's own statement: “Let me observe right here that no leader can exist any longer than his party desires him. And no party can last longer than a. majority of the people wish. ’ ' I found what the people wanted. Then I did my best to give it to them." Is this all vapid platitude? No. especially not the last. For this is the great 1". T. Barnum's formula applied to politics instead of circus ——and is there a. difference great enough to prohibit double applica- tion? Hanna's formula was similar; he depended slightly more on per- sonal energy and money: but. both he and Plait tried to fill the people’s wants. and in exchange expected prestige and power. “'ith power came patronage (which Disraeli says "is the outuard and visible sign of an inward and. spiritual grace, and that is power.") And with pat- ronage came a ili'f of tenancy—~not a fief for life. to be. sure, but a. lief "for good behavior." We are speaking of an age that is past and of mm that are gone— like the dinosaurs. dead as they were dreadful. And. _ those silent, careful. tractable candidates. of whom ZircKinley was the perfect type. they. too. are gone. Persons today profess to see in Mr. Coolidge many McKinley traits: and Mr. Harding was. indeed. a legitimate son of the McKinley-Taft dynasty of Ohio presidents. but no Hanna loomed behind the Harding term. and no I‘lzltt gnashes his teeth over ' . the accident of the Coolidge incum- i. bency.

His has had run against a cow which in the road ap- peared. and thus was grease upon his brow and mud upon his beard. Yet beautiful and bright he stood. his feet in tar immuded. and cried. "By James, I'm feeling good! The old bus was insured. Insured my life. my legs, my lungs. any every- thing's mine; I wish I had a. thou- sand tongues. to say I’m feeling fine. No weary vigils do I keep about this busted wain; I let insurance agents wee and writhe in bitter pain. There are few losses in this vale that can't be promptly cured. if one will spend a little kale to have his Junk insured. My house burns and I sit by. and watch the leaping flames: ‘Why do you pity me and sigh?’ I say to tearwet dames; insured is all that burning shack, and all the goods therein, and if I wept and beat my back. such grief would be a sin." He cleaned his greasy face with gas. and rubbed his injured thews. and out his ample shoes. "The ills of life.” he said, "though great, can al- ways be endured. if one will be a sured." flu TH: DAYS news/ MISS JANE ADDABIS. Miss Jane Addams. well known social service writer and lecturer and founder and head resident of the famous Hull House. Chicago, is' the international president of the “'omen's International League for Peace and Freedom. The League has been holding its fourth interna~ tional congress in “'ashington. Miss Addams was born in Cedar- vil‘le. 111.. September 6th, 1860. She received her A. B. degree in Rock- ford, lll.. college. in 188]. and spent two years following in Europe. On her return she studied in various colleges in the United States and in 1889. with Miss Ellen Gates. Starr. opened the. social settlement of Hull House. Chicago. . For three years Miss Addams was inspector of streets and alleys in the neighborhood of Hull House and in 1909 she was president of the Na- tional Conference of Charities and Corrections. Miss Addams is the author of “Democracy and Social Ethics." “Twenty Years at Hull House." “A New Conscience and An Ancient Evil," and other works on social problems. She attended the peace convention at The Hague in 1015, Zurich in 1919, and Vienna in 1921. A BITSTERY. several letters from readers in France and Italy expressing amaze- ment at the number of German tour- ists overrunnlng the Mediterranean .‘winter resorts. They are not the .only persons who have noticed this sensational revival of the pro-war -Germrm winter: exodus. The Berlin government became alarmed a tit 'and rather belatedly tried to stop it ‘by threatening to lay a tax of 50!) marks a head on Gormans' going abroad. :Thc curious thing about this home move against tourist travel is the fact that Germans are admitted . to be spé’nding this year 35,000,000 rontenmarks in Italy alone. That is nearly $9,000,000. But it is main- tained that a, food shortage exists in Germany and that hundreds of thou- sands of women and children are facing famine conditions. Our House of Representatives recently passed a bill appropriating $10,000,000 for German relief. on the theory that. a sum equal to that could not be ob- tained in Germany or through ordi- nnry American and foreign relief agencies. Yet Germans are spending $9,000.- 000 on travel and relaxation in Italy. ignoring any food shortage at home. and the government has just waited up to the fact that it may \vcll de- rive some revenue from this luxury expenditure. Moreover. the repara~ tin cxperttso have reported that Germany has nearly 32.000.000.000 in credits abroad at a. moment when the American Congress is being urged to give $10,000.000'in order to save German women and children from starvation. These facts are puzzling. It seems as if Germany ought to know whether her citizens are in danger of starving or not. And if she knows that they are. why does sh! not use some of her own ample wealth to buy food for them? Even "the New York \Vorid's" Berlin correspondent. Samuel Spewack. recently commented on the lavish expenditure in restaurants and for night life entertainment forced on prosperous classes in Berlin. And "The World's" Rome correspondent. Beatrice Basketville. noting the Teu- ton spenders' invasion of Italy. re- ports the average Italian as asking: “Why does the Pope send millions for relief to‘ Germany it these ob- viously opulent Germans can afford to come here on an expensive holi- day when the English and French are conspicuous by their absence ?" SYSTEM IN LION HUNTING. A Manchester business man paid a visit to a planter friend in Ugan- de. who was a keen sportsman. His first night'in the jungle was a, sleepless one. Next morning the two friends started out early, and. had gone but a short distance when they came upon fresh tracks which the enthusiasticvsportsman identified as being those ‘of a full-grown lies.

On “'hut is Known as Justice ON \VllA'l‘ SHALL MEN found the order of the world they would govern? The question has been asked countless times. Shall it be on justice? was Pascal's "Man is an- swer. "Certainly had he _known it."°he explains. "he would not lune es- tablished this maxim. the most gen- eral of all that obtain among men. that each follow the customs of his own country. "The glory of true equity would have brought all nations under sub- jection, and legislators would not have taken as their model the fan- cies and caprice of Persians and Germans instead of this unchanging justice. "\Ve should have seen it set up in all the states on earth and in all times: whereas We see neither justice nor injustice which docs not change its nature with change in climate. Three degrees of latitude reverse all Jurisprudence; a meridi- an decides the truth. Fundamental laws change nrlcr‘a few years of .msscsion; right. has its epochs; the entry of Saturn into the lion marks to us the origin of such and such a crime. A strange Justice that is bounded by a river! Truth on this side of the Pyrenees. error on the other side. “Men admit that justice does not consist in these customs. but that it resides in natural laws. common to every country. They would cer- tainly maintain it obstinately. if reckless chance which has distrib- uted human laws had encountered even one which was universal: but the farce is that the caprlce of men has so many vagaries that there is no such law. "Theft, incest. infantlclde. patri- cide have had a place among the virtuous actions. Can anything be more ridiculous than' a man should have the right to km me because he lives on the other side of the water. and because his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have none with_ him. . . “The result of- all this confusion is that one affirms the essence of Justice to be the authority of the legislator; another. the interest of the sovereign: another. present cus- tom. and this is the most sure. Nothing. according to custom. is just in itself: all changes with time. Custom creates the whole of the equity, for the simple reason that is accepted. It is the mystical foun- dation of its authority: whoever carries it back to first principles de- stroys it. "Nothing is so faulty as those laws which correct faults. He who obeys them because they are Just. obeys a justice “'liichis imaginary. and not the essence of the law; it is quite self-contained, it is law and nothing more. He who will examine its motive will find it so feeble and so trifling that if he be not accus- tomed to contemplate the wonders of human imagination. he will mar- vol that one century has gained for it so much pomp and rcverencc. U I O "The art of opposition and of re- volution is to unsettle established customs, sounding them even to their source. to point out their want of authority and justice. "\Vo must. it is said. get back to the natural and fundamental laws of the state. which an unjust cus- tom has abolished. It is a. game certain to result in the loss of all: nothing will be just on the balance. Yet people readily lend their car to such arguments. They shake oi! the yoke as soon as they recognize it; and the great xrotlt by their ruin. and by that or these curious investigators of thee accepted cus- toms. "But from a contrary mistake men sometimes think they can just- ly do everything that is not without an example. That is why a good politician (St. Augustine) said. 'thn a man does not understand the truth by which he might be freed. it is- xpedlent that he should be decelv .' , “We must. not see‘ the fact of usurp‘ation: law was once introduced without reason. 1‘» has become reasonable. We must make it’ re- garded as suihoritive. etcriial. and conceal its origin. if we do not wish that it should. soon come to an end." ' Pascal. Frenchmen. wrote this in the seventeenth century. “The. immigration policy upon which the two houses of congress have now substantially marks a new departure agreed in the American attitude on this subject." says Sen. David A. Reed of Penn- sylvania, champion of the immigra- tion bill and sponsor of the idea it embodies. “Until now we have pro- ceeded upon the theory that Amer ice. was “the refuge of the oppressed of all nations.’ and we have indulged the belief that upon their arrival here all immigrants were fused by the “melting pot‘ into a. distinctive American type. During the last for- ty years we have, it is true establish“: ed certain physical and moral stand- fids with which out immigration must momply in order to be permit- ted to enter the country; but Net's tests have operated only to allude the cases of: gross unfltnesa. such us those with contagious diseases and an: insane and the notorious crim- l.

"Madam." he said respectfully to the wondering woman. “if it's all the same to you. I'll eat the wood. and saw the pie." Some years ago a Yankee schoon- cr was beating up the Connecticut River. The male was at. his station forward. According to his notion of things. the schooner was getting too near ceraiin mud flats which lay along the port shore. The male went all to the captain. and. with his hat cocked on one side said: "Cap'n. you're getting a leetle too close to them flats. liadn't yo better be about?" The captain stared at him.

Wilson.) Th3 real danger of the Labor gov- ernment in England does not lie in be pessibility that it will introduce. radical policies, but that it is dis- silusionlng its followers who expect a big change with its advent; The present Labor government is but a phase in the general social change that is going on in England. He expressed the view that shortly politics in England will work back to two great parties, of which the Labor party ma ybe one. or it may lose its identity altogether. EXPECTS A COOLIDGE VEI‘O.
