EXPAND STREET CAPACITY, Perhaps the most serious obstacle to Chicago's rapid development at present is traffic congestion. This, of course, centers In the loop, but It extends to a greater or less degree tn all directions from the loop.

So far as It applies to those who use automobiles a simple suggestion, based upon the hard experience of war transportation problems In France, is worthy of consideration. In brief. It is to take advantage of the mobility cf automobiles, and allow the maximum traffic in any given direction on streets which have no car tracks to use the maximum part of the street.

WHEN Daniel Defoe wrote Robinson Crusoe" he gained the reputation of being writer pf fiction and this reputation ran to everything he afterwards wrote. In 1720 he wrote what he intended to be an honest to goodness history of the reat plague of 1665 in London. Before writing this historical sketch he read the dozen or more books and pamphlets on the London plague of 1665, written by physicians and preachers he consulted the dally, weekly, monthly, and yearly reports of the register pf vital statistics, and be talked with many mei who had been In London during the epidemic. Then he wrote the most matter of fact, authentic history of an epidemic that bad ever been written up to that time. In 1720 London was threatened with another visitation of the disease.

Defoe saw that the dozen of" more reports and essays, scientific and otherwise, hai not been read by any large number of people. How could he get his story over? That was the question. He decided to create another Robinson Crusoe and have him tell the story of the plague in London in 1665. The story, as told by the saddler for the purpose, was read far and wide. It accomplished one purpose.

But it played havoc with Defoe's reputation as a careful historian. For two and a half centuries Defoe's History of the Plague Year has been almost universally regarded as fiction, Now comes Dr. Watson Nicholson, who uses newspapers, reports of officials, essays, books and original documents, and who proves that Defoe wrote history, intended it as history, got hia facts from the sources, quoted the authorities correctly, in fact, lifted paragraphs and pages bodily from the original sources and produced a book of verities. But, alas The shade of Robinson Crusoe lay over it all 1 Dr. Nicholson uncovered the following facts among many others.

These are cited because they apply to us today Certain parts of America and Europe and all parts of southern Asia are now threatened by plague, From 1603 to 1666 London was never free from plague. In 1665 the disease got beyond control and caused deaths estimated 100.000. Hodges says that early In September more than 12,000 died of it in a single week. The wild flights of fancy of which Defoe has stood accused for more than VOICE OF THE PEOPLE SHERIDAN ROAD SCTCTHBOUND BUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. Thus If Sheridan road and Michigan boulevard are capable of accommodating seven parallel streams of automobiles, in the morning; rush hours when the great flow of traffic is south on Sheridan and Michigan at least as far as Washington street, five traffic lanes might be devoted to this traffic instead of three, as at present, and two lanes might be left for northbound traffic.

Directions would be reversed on South Michigan avenue, in the morning hours. A similar arrangement would help traffic to and from the west side. It would, perhaps, necessitate removal of so-called Bafety isles, and perhaps construction of smaller, narrower safety Isles between the second and third and the fifth and sixth traffic lane. It would also necessitate marking the pavements plainly with lines defining the traffic lanes. Incidentally that might have a salutary effect in reducipg the tendency of hurrying drivers to cut in and out of traffic.

Those are details which can be settled if the general scheme is approved. In the evening rush hours, when the main flow of traffic Is in an opposite direction from the morn ing, the right of way would be reversed, thus: Writers should confine themselves to fOO or $00 trcrds.

EENTS AND BUILDING. Chicago, March is "the citi zens' committee to enforce the Landia award" delivering so many "jolts' to the poor tenants? Were they as conversant with conditions as they claim to be they would not send out the reports spread at Just the rate and with juit the limitations which plainly would, characterize a rat-and -flea-borne disease. The folly of trying to control the disease by watching people and houses and not watching fleas and rata was proved, as the folly of a yellow fever and malaria policy which did pot Include watching mosquitoes was later proved. Bogburst wrote of the plague of fliei and ants the summer before, but no one said anything about fleas or rats. Hodges and Boghurst wrote of unusual weather, but they failed to make a case because at that time no one knew -f the relation of rainfall to the prevalence of fleas.

I have been rral-Ing with interest the various which appeared in all of th Chicago papers of the remarkable ezperiencs of ono Stanley Graham in Sonora, Mexico. The lions, otherwise known as courar and puma, must have been put to alp by the eagle eye of the hunter, so as to permit him to get so close as to able to throw his coat over the poor animal's head, and then strangle It- It Is quite possible that this gentleman has devised some new salt which he may have used to sprinkle on the animal's tail. If such be the case, this salt would far more valuable for other animals, as the mountain lions are worthless and very dangerous. My own experience In hunting big game has taught that Teddy Roosevelt stated at our camp Wyoming on one occasion that he cared very little meeting these cats alone. I have had a dozen dogs killed by these so-called cats.

I have hunted tn all tin western states, Including Canada tnl Alaska. F. C. Woetv Hi! a needs not only 1,000 but 2,000 new homes monthly. Chicago is growing at the rate of 100,000 in population yearly, 1 Build the Subway Now.

Al Smith of New a-recent message to the legislature proposes" thafithe state shall forbid the sale of any hydro-electric power developed from New York streams to-consumers outside the state. That's a wonderful Ide, forlNew York.

The easoning. if courtesy may call it so, is that the streams belong to the people of the state New York and their product ehouldbe used only for the benefit of those people. Letns carry the idea forward. The anthracite coal supply of the country-ia confined to Pennsylvania. That Is a natural iresource and advantage from which the cltiaens ofiPennsylvanta have a right to benefit above all others.

Therefore they should check the exportation -of anthracite coal from the state, Georgia and other southern states raise cotton, which cannot be grown in New York in great quantities. Let them stop exporting it to New York or Massachusetts, establish their own mills, and manufacture all the cotton products in the) country, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have iron in large quantities. They have no coaL Indiana and Illinois have coal but no iron. Let each state stop shipping it to the Calumet district or the Pittsburgh district and well stop producing steel. Michigan produces copper.

Let it-keep th product. Oklahoma and Pennsylvania have had -laws pro-h ibiting the export of natural gas. Thqy have been declared unconstitutional. Gov. Smith (purposes to get around such a difficulty by a technicality of the ownership of the water power resources.

Whether he can do that or not we do not know. But we do know that be cannot get around the. fact that his plan would bring prompt retaliation and result in an economic Balkanization of the United States. Theoretically there Is no limit. Some3f the rainfall which develops New York's water-power falls in Illinois.

It is the property of our-citizens. If Gov. Smith la right Let us dam our natural drainage courses and divert this rainfall to 'the Illinois river and increase our own hydro-electrSe power. We fear Gov. Smith Is making himself ridiculous.

DESPAIRING OF ART IN AMERICA. Chicago, March 1. Ia art, whether expressed through sound, music, form, painting, or words poet ry progressing or retrograding? Offhand, In this day and age of civilisation, one would unhesitatingly say, "Why, progressing-, o( course But let us stop for a moment end listen to the sharp, shrill shrieks and the walling moans produced by Instruments comprising the modern jazz band." Let step Into a vaudeville theater. Invarli-bly the ragtime, harp. angular, Jaws stuff, receives the loudest applause.

At a recent view day of one our woman's clubs who, by the way, awarded a prize of $100 to one of these daring fanatics the members were piloted through the galleries by the artist himself. Considerable valuable time was consumed in a gallery which, from Its wall decorations, resembled a klndsTgar-ten, while another gallery where hung some of the best works really bsa'itttu! gems of landscape art, filled with soul, atmosphere, color harmony, and rh'U mle poetry of some of Chicago's most noted painters was passed up with ths remark It's art. That's all I can nay about it. They mean nothing to Are our art lovers of real art and our artists worth while going to stand for an Insult like that? Just, a word as to our modern poetry.

COMMODORE FIGHTS REFORMED BUT ARE THE REFORMERS! Chicago, March 3.

for the crime of selling obscene books and photographs to school children. Books and pictures were indescribably vile, the products of perversion and abysmal depravity, The almost Inevitable consequence of putting them, in the hands of children would be corruption. The effects of home discipline, of moral and religious training and the restraints of youthful Idealism and modesty would be swept away, The character building to which parents, schools and churches have been devoted would be destroyed and the social and moral effects would be incalculably bad. This is of all vice, it seems to us, the worst. It is poison.

It is an injection of bacteria certain to produce disease. Jt causes juvenile viciousness. It may destroy the future of the children contaminated and taint their lives and their acts and send them into depraved maturity. If we found persons feeding dope to children to force them to acquire the habit for life we should think that peculiar fiends had been discovered. The sex pollution of childhood is quite as bad.

Law does not take, it seems to us. a proper view of the gravity of the offense. The city ordinances allow a maximum fine of $200 and the state law permits a jail sentence of not more than six months or a fine of not more than $1,000 for each offense. There is no distinction made between the sale to adults and the sale to children. A man peddling obscenity at a stag party might get the same sentence as a man undermining the morals of a high school or a grade school.

Social welfare workers who have been quick to seo an extravagant social damage in boxing. In which the incentive is to hardihood and courage and clean living, have not, seemingly, been perceptive that a poisonous vice is regarded by law as hardly more than a misdemeanor. The Tribune believes that in many aspects of social life and habit too much reliance is placed on law. It believes that character and self-discipline should not find substitutes in statutes. It also believes that youth should come to maturity with the foundations of character and the habit of self -discipline.

Then the community does not need oppressive and restrictive statutes which deny individual decision and selection. But if the morals of children are to be corrupted in their associations then all the statutes and police will not be able to restrain the vices ef maturity. LET BEHAVIOR REGLLATE IMMIGRATION, Chicago, March 3. After reading our editorials on Immigration problems, I upon tha idea of putting each fereig.i nationality on good behavior. I piel a a follows: The government io keep feeord of foreign born law breakers, euch la bleaker to mean a reduction of.

eay. 1.0Q 111 the monthly quota of new Immigrant'? to be admitted from the native country of the law breaker. The nationality allowing the cleaned sheet for the same month to receive th benefit by having added 1.000 more their quota. Outside of this, ths government could reward a good deed don by some one of foreign blood by adillPi an extra 1,000 to the quota of that man native country. Making good behavior count this I believe would help to make us all ks-have.

DOES THE IOWA FARMER LIKE BROOKHART'S PRESCRIPTION? Senator Brookhart says that, far from being turned by the atmosphere of the United States which he has breathed for several months, he is more than ever determined to sound a call to he ballot box for the common people la every state of the Union.

Said common people are "the farmers, the laborers, the soldiers, and the mothers of the country," who, Mr. Brookhart Is more than ever convinced, are deprived of their just rights by economic forces entrenched in our legislative body. Maybe so. Certainly if Mr. Brookhart could organize the farmers, laborers, soldiers, and mothers in to a militant and united political force to support his ideas there would be something doing in this country, though it wouldn't turn out to be precisely v.

hat Mr. Brookhart expects. But Mr. Brookhart is rarin to go, and it might b3 well for the substantial farmers of Iowa and of other states who will be Invited to take his econom-c prescriptions to examine what they contain. For Mr.

Brookhart Is for "economic coopera-Hon. That is a rather general idea, which most us favor. But Mr. Brookhart explains that the wenty-eight weavers of Rochdale invented the plan lie wants adopted and Its principles are as follows: member of the enterprise has one vote; all producers and consumers are admissible; capital no vote. Capital is to have its earnings fixed ut the usual legal interest rate.

One fourth of net roHts are a reserve for safety and growth; three fourths to be distributed to members according to their volume of trade with the enterprise- Do the Iowa farmers like this plan? Ln the enterprise are they willing to have the return on their land, stock, equipment, their capital, restrict to the usual legal interest rate? If this interest ii to be fixed by law will Mr. Bropktsart'a laborers, soldiers, and mothers fix the rate which, the land wner must accept? In the enterprise all producers and consumers are to have one vote each, but retired farmer would have no vote, and the working farmer land owners wiH find themselves eutvoted on all questions of management, policy, and terms of profit adjustment by their employes such consumers as have admitted themselves to the enterprises.
