OnY guess is that the weather nan didn't think much of either platform. Anyhow, the folks of this vicinity re indebted to Messrs. Jerome and Spnrill for rescuing the day from utter ennui.

" ' If President Harding calls Con gress in special session November 20, old sister Felto'n may get a chance to sit in the senate, after all. But since she couldn't hold down the seat for Hardwick, that may Seem to the governor like the irony of fate. Whoever succeeds in finding for President Harding a way of collect ing the aUied debt can get another Job, right away. There is consider able demand amongst them for some one who can devise a way of getting enough money together to pay it, although they are not especially anxious to put out said money for that purpose. In fact, most of them have no intention whatever of pay ing; it 4 ' I "BABBITT" AND QUININE. A woman customer in a local bookstore the other day thrust "Babbitt" aside, "I don think III take that," she said. "Nobody liked 'Main Street." Tha curious part of it ia that the fact that "Main Street" told 850,000 copies is no proof whatever that the woman: was wrong. Nobody liked "Main Street!" nobody likes qui nine, either, but that doesn't pre vent its sale in enormous quantities. Yet it would certainly be regarded as strong evidence, not to say abso lute proof, of insanity for a man to purchase) quinine to put in his cof fee in place of sugar. The customer in the bookstore . wanted an ano dyne, not a febrifuge. She wanted a book that would help her to for get the life about her, not one that would make her more sharply aware of it. Therefore she was quite right in refusing Babbitt," as she would have been right in re fusing to accept quinine as a sub stitutes for laudanum. Notwithstanding whieft, the fact remains that quinine and "Babbitt" have a place in the world. Mr. Lewis is one of a number of writers, mostly comparatively young men, whose work is causing a disturb ance among American readers that is having its effect everywhere. It is bitter stuff, sometimes with a de cidedly nasty taate, and on that ac count many people who are entirely sincere have become disturbed about it, and protests are beirf. filed every day. The answer of the critics to such protests is usually a sneer, be cause the critics are incapable of grasping the fact that many of the protests are altogether honest. On the other hand, a good many of the people who make the protests do so because they do not believe inai the books are honest It is a case of mutual intolerance that is doing no good to American letters, and is causing some real perturbation to sincere minds. The basic trouble is a defect of education, and as the south is the worst educated section of the coun try it is naturally more conspicuous here than anywhere else. Thou sands of our people nave never at tained a cultural level at which it is possible for them to gain any thing more than entertainment out of a novel. The notion that a man may read certain sorts of fiction not simply to be entertained but also in order to learn more about the world and the. ways of the people in it, is beyond them. Still farther from their "reach is the conception that a man may develop to the point at which he can find no en tertainment except in a boot that describes people as they are, ana not as they might be, or as one wishes that they might be. Hence they regard a book whose charac ters are ugly and jinpleasant peo ple as a sort of violation of the rules of the game, and are conse quently irritated by it. Nevertheless, the ablest and most sincere writing that is being done in America today is being done by the realists. Tre are fools among them, of course, who overdo the thing as much as the sickly senti mentalists overdo romanticism; but there are also some exceedingly fine novelists. .Their work, however, is not done for people who are seeking amusement, and nothing else, and the amusement seekers are entirely justified in rejecting it. They should not' assume, however, that because it isn't what they want that it is therefore worthless. Which is- ex actly what they usually do. MR. M' KNIGHT'S SUGGESTION. In the communication of Mt. Mc Knight, president of the Vanstory Clothing company, published this morning, there is a statement of the underlying legal principle of the routiner of express matter whioh presents no difficulty whatever to the wayfarer, no matter how simple may be his mental turnumng. it U impossible to prove that a ,ntinr via Raleigh for GreeruDoro instead of direct ior i i o t t throueh Washington via the ong. inal car, is equally advantageous to Greensboro and points of distribu tion from Greensboro, because the facts ar.e otherwise, and arguing with facts is a futile enterprise. The transfer at Raleigh, as at numerous other points where" the American Hilwav Express company exacts its ultimate penny and incidentally creates delays and annoyances which are supposed eventually to work in with its plan of monopoliz ing the express business of the country, as It lormeny am ni delay and damage, and cannot mean anything else. But all this has nothing to do with the clear option tne snipper has a right to exercise as to rout ing. Other factors being equal as defined by the law, the shipper has the full right to route his stuff for a,ny reason on earth, or for no rea son, and to have it carried along the designated route. It is Mr. McKnight's suggestion that the Southeastern's business community go directly into the fed eral courts, with a prayer for that relief which they have not up1 to this good day been able to find else where. The suggestion we believe should be given careful considers' tion. One of the principal considera tions involved is that of time, and time ia about the only thing that really counts with us mortals. No doubt the millennium will one day set in, and all things will be ordered to perfect satisfaction; but how many of us win remain to enjoy that universal satisfaction? CRIMINAL RECKLESSNESS, SHAMELESS CYNICISM. The terrific toll of 693 lives taken by grade crossings on 108 railroads last summer is enough to chill the blood in the most callous. In four months there were 4,411 accidents, leaving, besides the dead, 1,800 maimed, many, of them crippled for life. . . , In other words, during the past four months grade crossings on these 108 railroads including only the Class One mileage in the country- cost in killed and wounded about eight times the American loss at the battle of Guilford courthouse, and about three times the combined losses of British and Americans. Imagine a proposal to the country that it fight a new battle of Guil ford courthouse every other week during the summer during every summer for no other purpose than to save some hundreds of millions! Yet that is precisely what is occur ring, in effect mly it is worse than that, for these figures do not include all the railroads of the country, by any means; and it is worse than that in another way, for the killed and wounded at Guilford courthouse were armed men, sol diers, who knew what they were do ing and took the risk on their own initiative, whereas ; the killed and wounded at the grade crossings in clude women and children, who are dragged into danger without their Consent or even their knowledge. Think of the horror of it think of the shame of it We are sacri ficing 175 innocent lives every W mer month to so-called economy 175 lives, many of them those of women and children, in order to avoid spending the money necessary to eliminate grade crossings. Was there ever such -criminal reckless ness; such shameless cynicism, under neaven before? WILLIAM'S WEDDING AND GERMAN POLITICS. It is hardly thinkable that the reactionary party in Germany ex hausted its energies once and1 for all in the Kapp "putsch." It is much more likely that Germany is yet doomed to see at least one more ef fort, and probably several, on the part of the old Potsdam crowd. It is at least conceivable that William Hohenzollern may have been the unwitting means of saving the republic from the necessity of facing a revolt at this time. Wil liam's marriage was a terrible blow to the imperialists. It damaged the prestige of monarchy more than anything else that has happened since the armistice. It set the exile emperor down on the level of the harness-maker. It showed his lack of a sense of his own dignity as well as his lack of regard for tha sensibilities of his people. It cool ed the enthusiasm of the younger uot-neaas, in particular. Thev might figtit readily enough for an emperor without conscience, with. out scruples, without morals; but iney naveno stomach for fighting for an emperor without dignity. Nevertheless, if the weddino- at Doom has affected the situation at all, its effect will not last long. It may settle forever the last ehanr-a that William would be the bene ficiary of the reactionary movement- qui. n cannot settle the movement itseii. There is a steady mnltinli. cation of evidences that some sort oi effort is in preparation. It may break on Armistice day. It may be delayed for several months. But it is sure to come. r uerman workmen settled tha Kapp revolt promptly and effectual ly by the imposition of a general strike. If they are ss solidly or ganized and as resolute today as they were then, they can handle any new movement of the sort But it is a matter of dispute whether or not they are as well organized ind as enthusiastically against the old regime now as they 'once were. In Bavaria, especially, conditions are rotten, and there is no adequate guarantee that a monarchist move ment in favor of Rupprecht, for instance, would be resolutely op posed by the workmen. Germany's internal troubles are not over, and they will not be over for many years to come. De mocracy cannot be imposed on people from above. They must work it out for themselves, and the process is bound to be" long. fatiguing and probably bloody. . A POLICE CENSUS. A police census of Greensboro is to be undertaken shortly, not for the purpose of making a "popula- tion showing," in the ordinary sense of the term, for that would be ab. surd. Police censuses are not taken seriously by an incredulous world moreover there is no way of. j counting, or estimating, the popula- tion in the small area of Greens boro's boundaries , that wouldnot convey foolish notion of the size rof ths community that is In most essentials except taxpaying and in clusion in the federal census, in and of Greensboro. This is to- be a census made for business purposes, made by a force of patrolmen that is now adequate not only to do the policing of the town as the term was formerly un-1 derstood, but to perform numerous services equally or more useful. The taking of the census which is expected to locate the people with exceptional accuracy, and to de termine the. location of the school population according to age groups, ia to be a part of the day's work of the patrolmen, and they are expect ed to do it systematically, deliber ately. There will be gathered body of data needed by the school authori ties and by the government for various other purposes. The tedi ous job of zoning, which is to be undertaken in the near future, will be greatly aided by exact informa tion as to the density of population in various sections; in, fact numer ous of the data that will be found by tiie police census are necessary in connection with the zoning and planning enterprises. This important work would be shortened and simplified greatly if all people were advised beforehand just what the police were about, and why. That is out of the question, but every householder who does un derstand, and to whom therefore it will- not be necessary for the police first of all to make a long explana tion, will, by possession of that in formation be in position to expedite the job. Whether the total -.population thus disclosed is 20,000 or 25,000 is a matter of very minor import ance. If if were 40,000 it could be of little value to Greensboro as a publicityasset, since Greensboro is set down in the federal census as 19,000, and those are the figures that count What is of importance ia that the figures, whatever they may be, shaH be correct, for these data are wanted for use and not for show-window purposes. THE LAW AND THE SPEED LIMIT. . The legislative reference libra rian, H. M. London, advises the Daily News that in chapter 98, spe cial session 1921, the automobile speed limit was raised from 25 to 80 miles an hour outside incorpor ated towns and from 18 to 20 miles an hour in the residential, portions of towns, amending section 2618, consolidated statutes. The speed limit fat the business portions of towns still remains ten miles per hour. In the case of State vs. Bob Fresh water, from Alamance, found on page 762, 19S N. C. Reports, de cided April 6, 1922, it was held that Town Ordinances regulating auto mobiles, speed limits, etc., within the town in conflict with the statutes on the Subject Consolidated Stat utes, 2599, 2618 are void under the provisions of C. S. 2601, and apart from the express provisions of the last named section they must yield to the statute law of the state, such powers being delegated legisla tive function. The city of Burlington, it is ex plained, had fixed a speed limit of eight miles for the business portion and 15 miles for the residential portions of the oity which was in contravention of statutory inhibi. tion. Judge Adams in a brief opinion states: "Municipal ordinances are or dained for local purposes in the ex ercise of a delegated legislative function, and must 'harmonize with the general laws of the state. In case of conflict the ordinance must yield to the state law." The speed limit of motor cars on all roads of North Carolina outside incorporated towns as fixed by the general assembly is 30 miles an hour, and cannot be made either greater or less except by action of the general assembly, either fixing new limit or delegating its power to change the limit The speed limit in the residence districts of incor porated towns is similarly fixed at 20 miles, and that in the business portions of towns at 10 miles per hour, nor can either be changed by any municipal authority. . PUBLIC PULSE WHY WOT GO UtTS) THE CJOtiRTSt Editor of Tne Dally Hews: Ths act to regulate Interstate com merce provides In effect that where two or more through routes and through rates shall have been estab lished shippers shall have ths jright to designate In writing vlawhich of suati through routes the property shall be transported to destination. The through route and the through rat to Oreensboro from New York have been established for a great many years. This being a fact why should there be-any controversy published In the News today making comparisons of schedules from New York to Greensboro by either the American Railway Express company or the Southeastern Express . com pany when the shippers In New York have designated In writing to route their express via Washington and the Southern rallwayj -v If tha shipper tflnifs tt convenient to his own Interest, regardless of the time mads to ship via either route, there should be no discussion what ever by either express company pro vided the rouflna" Is reasonable. . . It la Incumbent upon tha express company receiving; the shipper's In structions to perform h service, as ordered, and by the routs designated and for Its fulhtre to routs as ltit atructed by the onslcnor ths carrier has violated ths law. , Ths Interstate commerce commis sion has been appealed to by the merchants of Greensboro dlreot and throuall ths chamber commerce our senators and congressmen have been asked to exert themselves In our behalf but all without street. Tha New York express Is still be ing delayed, when It could arrive on time If forwarded from New York via the only direct route which la via Washington and the Southern railway.- Efforts from sources we have a right to expect assistance having fail ed way not petition the federal court for a writ ot Injunction to prohibit ths. forwarding express company front violating ths law by arbitrarily routing the expitss contrary to the shipper's written Instruction? And let the Injunction jointly Include the Pennsylvania railroad and the Balti more and Ohio railroad, either "of whiohjf llways could carry the ex press from New York to Waahlngton and who are equally culpable 4a tha violation of, the statue as their tor Warding sxpress agenoy itself, for both "railways according to their published contracts pay their pro rata of the operating expense of the" forward express company and like wise participate In the net earnings of said express company, thereby making the railroads named practi cally partners with ths express com pany. Thera eould be a great deal mbre said upon tha subject of the Greens boro express being delayed but sure ly with ths facta already given redress can ba secured through --the United States court and as the mat ter has reached such serious conse quences resulting In such enormous money losses to our merchants this drastic and salutary action, If taken, would relieve us of a monstrous out rage perpetrated upon us by a defiant express company whose methods have proven to he most reprehensible.
