VALUES MONEY CANNOT BUY Sometimes we wonder what would be the effect if things should go on about as they are now indefinitely How much, worse off would we be as a people if the present standards of income should prove permanent? It all depends. It seems to us, on where you stand when you look at the world. If you re standing on a dollar-mark things are pretty bad right now. But there are other points of view. Why do we want prosperity to return? So we can all have more money. But if we hatl more money, what would we do with it? It seems to us that during those boom years when money, for a lot of people, was easy to get, it proved to be pretty hard to hold. And from what we saw and heard and read about what people did with their money, especially people who had never had any experience with money before, it didn't do many of them much good. On the contrary, it seems to us, it was a genuinely bad influence. And is there any rea son to believe that people, speaking generally, would get any more last ing value out of easy money if boom times came back? We think not. Of course, we want everybody to have a job. We not only hope that but we expect that conditions will change so that there will bs no un employment to the extent of wide spread distress and privation. And we realize that there will always be some people who will have more money than they know what to do with, and who will continue to spend it foolishly. But it does seem to U9 that in the effort to make everybody rich our system has not succeeded in making anybody very happy; and we wonder whether we have not somehow, as a people, lost our grip on the more enduring things of life in the struggle for the mighty dol lar. There are spiritual values which are immensely more important than riches, which are not at all depend ent upon wealth, which, in fact, are likely to be destroyed by the pos session of more money than is need ed to kep the body warm and fed Perhaps these lean years may prove to have a disciplinary value in turn ing people's thoughts away from mere pleasure to the soberer but more important things of life. :o: ' SPEED GOVERNORS FOR A FEW The question of using a mechan ical governor to limit the speeds of passenger automobiles is under con sideration again in some states However, it has reappeared in a guise that should make Its contem plation by the motoring public more palatable than in the past. Motor vehicle officials, insurance underwriters, and even automobile designers, have shown an interest but they do not summarily propose governors for all motorcars. Nor do they suggest their use on any speci fic motorcar without the most care ful investigation. Present discussion among these authorities goes no further than spec uating whether safety might be increased by requiring mechanical governors on the cars of those who might be classed as habitual speed ers. Speeding is a bad habit that grows out of the faulty judgment of many drivers. Neither fines nor jail sentences suffice to break the habit in some instances. Suspension or revocation of the. driving privilege has a wholesome effect, but in cer tain instances seems rather drastic. Hence some believe a more effective penalty would be to equip the offend ing driver's car with a mechanical device, sealed by the state, that would prevent him from exceeding a speci fied speed. The three groups considering the subject recognize a palpable misun derstanding of the performance characteristics of modern automo biles on the part of some owners who see no reason for making fast cars if they cannot be driven fast. Motor experts point out that to have a satisfactory cruising speed an automobile must have a high top speed, but that to drive much above the cruising speed is neither eco nomical nor sensible. Yet even when this is explained, some apparently refuse to comprehend. For them. perhaps, the governor may be useful. :o: Harry Bannister and Ann Hard ing are to obtain a divorce, because Mr. Bannister is rapidly losing his identity as an actor by being "Ann Harding's husband." It is high time. We, for instance, were no longer cer tain that Ann Harding had a hus band. :o: We are all healthier, the insur ance companies keep on insisting, since these peculiar times have come upon us. General Prosperity has ap parently been superseded by Cor poral Wellbelng. THE WHIP CRACKS Dr. Clarence True Wilson, head of the Methodist Board of Temper ance, Prohibition and Public Mor als, says that if the republican par ty adopts a plank which favors sub mission of repeal of the Eeighteenth amendment to the people, the drys "would go to extreme lengths to re pudiate what they would consider a policy of Judas Iscariot." They "would would either put up an inde pendent candidate or would vote for the other side, even though it were wet, as a rebuke of that kind of leadership." The threat is aimed at Mr. Hoo ver, and in the light of what hap pened in 192S, it cannot be regard ed as an idle threat. It is a policy of rule or ruin, a policy the drys have pursued often enough to war rant suspicion that they are not merely bluffing. But what is the deep-rooted objection of the drys to a proposal that, in the light of 10 years experience with the law, the people shall be allowed to pass up on national prohibition as a sound method of promoting temperance? There can be but one reason fear that the vote will be impressively adverse. They cannot doubt that there will be at least 13 states standing fast to prohibition, enough to prevent immediate repeal of the Eighteenth amendment. But with the law breaking down before hos tile public opinion, additional proof through a referendum that majority sentiment of the country is against it would be a final blow. Four years ago the G. O. P. re joiced and profited from the havoc prohibition wrought in the demo-J cratio party. Today it is informed by the leader of the drys that it must not even dare to approve refer t nee of the amendment to the will of the people. Things-do have a way of squaring themselves.
