The service was conceived in a spirit of public benefit, is manned with excellent personnel, and has stood high enough not to be touched by political fingers stained by patronage. Almost every contact with the patrol reminds one that the troopers not only are men who are a good deal above the average, but that they know their highways and every danger angle they display.

That's not bearing shows they have an ideal, and that ideal is safety for everyone who travels the highway. The day's significant news note Germans, to all appearances innocent of any crime, are executed by forces in the Spanish conflict. But one observer we read says there won't be a general European conflict for some time to many years. He points out that during the period from 1870 to 1914 there was only localized trouble. Hope he's right.
