Now that your sex has acquired the privilege of rocking the boat as well as the cradle, most ol the campaign argument I hear is soprano. I am not complaining. The more interest you take in national affairs, the better woman you will be.

But since youth's opinions usually are violent, I wish to give you a word of advice. Criticised a candidate for the Presidency as much as you please. He is a mere citizen asking for a job. Berate and belittle him as you like in the heat of conflict, but change your tone when he is elected. Once a man becomes President, he is no longer an individual.

He is an institution. He represents the power and glory and dignity of America. Criticise his acts, if you wish. He isn't infallible or sacrosanct. Disagree With him and oppose him when you think him wrong.

But speak always with due regard for the fact that he is your chief and the leader of a nation. No organization, whether a sorority, a business or a nation, can succeed without a directing head. And no great organization can survive if its individual members treat the leader as one of themselves and thus destroy the dignity of his office. Do you remember the Sunday afternoon we visited the Lincoln Memorial in Washington? Children romped noisily in front of the statue, unaware of its significance; young peopl discussed it flippantly; but those who were old spoke in hushed tones or whispered as people do In You can measure people by the respect they show for things that deserve respect. When you judge others, you are unconsciously judging yourself; and when you criticise a great man in terms of familiar impudence, you unwittingly tell your audience the kind of person you are.

The callow young and the witless who mock sacred things are like the ass that kicked the sick lion. Knowing their hides are safe, they try to exalt themselves by feigning contempt for something far above them. Much the same spirit animates those who affect an impudent familiarity in their criticism of the nation's chief. They do not demonstrate their own importance, but only their bad manners. There isn't much but the monkey left when we are stripped of decent dignity and decorum.

For your own sake respect the things that make our race respectable. Love, DAD. SHORTLY APTfeR COMPLEriNO 1IE WAS CHOSEN BY A PRENCH CANAL DE.

lM. Central Frees Assonsma. He By EDWARD T. fpHERB came to me in the malls the other day a plaint from a reader of this column who comments bitterly on what he terms "the high-handed ultlmatuma ruthlessly handed out" to consumers by a private water company which serves the southern end of Queens. "At such a time as this," he asks, "when even the greatest nations in the world are hard put to pay their lawful debts and when even the European creditors of Uncle Sam are begging for time, doesn't It seem to you, Mr.

O'Loughlin, at least a little harsh for this water company to be delivering Its hard-boiled ultimatums? "The very first bill that reaches us in a new section for water used in the recent semester bears attached to it bold printed slip forthwith announcing that 'If not paid immediately the supply will be shut off. "in this, period of depression, when the harrassed householder is trying to meet a myriad of bills, when taxes, charges, interest, household bills and appeals to help the unemployed are pouring In upon us from every side, this bully, lng demand comes for payment, with the threat to shut off our supply. "Isn't it at least a bit indecorous? Isn't it provocative of hatred for such a corporation Isn't It enough to evolve thoughts that might culminate In repercussions that might some day challenge the smug position of this seemingly intrenched monopoly? "Please say something about this. "Give us your view in the column." There Isn't much more to be said, brother. -You've said.

In the inelegant but expressive language of the day, a meaty mouthful. It flowed from you as from a heart pent with suffering and the injustice of untold indignities. Permit me to say this at least. All public service corporations are not like that. There are still some that believe in building up good will among their customers.

There are a few at least within my ken which treasure the frlendil. ness of their patrons as an asset almost as priceless as credit at the Danx. Down In the Lynbrook-Malverne. Valley Stream sector of the Queens. Borough Gas Kleetric Corn's territory they have a manager who nas so successiuiiy won the respect, esteem, even affection, of the people that the latter have elected him from time to time as neaa or uieir civic groups.

This in a way Is remarkable at least singular, perhaps unique. is sucn groups that are for ever at war with nublic service corporations in other sections which you and I perhaDs know about. The last man in the world much organizations would admit to membership, much lees elevate to head-Ship, would be the representation ot what they regard as "hateful oppressors of the consumers." And yet Emil Lissner. of whom I speak, the manager of the Lyn-brook territory for the Queens Borough Gas people, is actually liked ana listened to Dy nis neighbors among whom be circulates solicitously and whom he seeks to assist rather than harass. I have seen Lissner In action and I think I can understand why he is respected and has the confidence of the people in his territory.

Be is approachable at all times. Be is agreeable and willing to lis ten to uie customer side of the story. Be investigates and encourages. The people in that section feel they can go to him. They are convinced he is one of them, that he Is on-the level, that they will get a square deal.

As a conseuence he has friends and many followers among the consumers who swear by him and will even go to the length of sl- WATERWAY ACROSS "THE husband.

He two the st, of 7 BORO, QUEENS MEN FACE RUM CHARGES lenclng a detractor who might rail at the company to the detriment of the manager. This personal contact of Oa manager with his customers lb iriceless asset of good, will whlcn Us company may or may not realize as among Its greatest builders of wealth. In the past, and to some large extent even at present, certain great corporations of a public service character have paid but little heed to their public.

They have gone on the assumption bred of arrogance because of the supposed unassailable position they hold through monopoly grant ed franchise, that they can ignore any or all complaints. Just or unjust. With or without merit. Curable or otherwise. "Come across or out goes your service," seems to be the dictum of such concerns.

"We hold the whip hand." they seem to say. "If you don't get it from us, you don't get It at all." This naturally rolls the victim and he goes out to add bis voice to a co.tstantly swelling chorus of disapproval, which grows In time, to become a popular clamor. In the early days of the railroads a certain noted magnate's slogan was "The public be Since his day all the railroads have reversed that ruling and the public Is to be made satisfied in every way the management can bring about. The traveling public is made to feel at home. The customer, as In all the large department stores, is always right.

The newspaper ads extend a genial Invitation to -the patrons to make suggestions which may breed greater comfort for the traveler. This is the right attitude. This Is the attitude all, the big stores assume, where the greatest leeway Is given to the purchaser and which as a result has brought the greatest trade In the history of merchandising to such far-sighted merchants. Seventy per cent of the clamor that arises today and has arisen for years against the local street railway system was bred in the time 1 when the management Ignored public appeal. The chiefs figured that if the public wanted to ride it had nowhere else to go and would have to take or leave what was offered.) This railway system, many times in the past, would have given much to win back the public good will which it lost.

It has led to the loss of millions In dividends. It raised an army against Itself which on every occasion before the Board of Estimate has been ready to spring at the company's throat Like Lissner in Lynbrook, the head of the telephone company there, Arthur Campbell, is a gentleman of tact and great patience. When he was In office Matt Sloan of the Brooklyn Edison like, wise was a mixer and a maker of friends for his company. There are still others who, following the leads of commercial houses, are beginning to recognize in public good will an asset that is priceless. I cannot imagine what must be passing through the minds of private water company managers who issue such threats as my correspondent quotes In his letter to this column.

This is not, a time to make public enemies. To breed 111 will toward publlo service conveyors. It Is not well to set citizens thinking about "the monopoly phase of the situation," which makes the demand all the more threatening. A little official tact would pour oil on these troubled waters In southern Queens. 1' of the finer restaurants of New York I am reminded of the lack of clarity and definlteness of our, civilization.

While you the' musicians play. You can only get the music by snatches, and then' Indistinctly, because of the din and clatter of dishes, and you can't eneaere comfortably in conversation confusion consequent upon the combination of the music and the dishes. It looks as though people were not eager to talk to one another or to listen to music. In a civilization worthy of the name, people will dine to convert even simple food into good conversation and not gorge on luxurious viands while they drown good music with sonorous but senseless talk. People who really have something to say to one another can be content with a simple meal and; enjoy it wilthout musical accom-, panlment.

They will not need to be reminded by Ben Slrach: "Pour not out talk -where there is a performance of music." Greater Fool Increasing observation convinces me that some bright people make greater fools of themselves than dull people do. The World To rail at the world we inhabit is oftentnmes the result of our thoughtlessness or faultiness Instead of its deficiency. Take, for instance, the transitoriness of all things. We bewail the passing of life and the wounding of affection, and yet It is the very imperman-ence of life that adds to Its preciousness. It is bitter to live and lose.

Permanence of possession would be less bearable. Accordingly, instead of cavilling at the world, let us question ourselves. HE CHEATS OLD AGE Man, 115 Years Old, Dies as Result of Pneumonia. Oakland, Nov. 26.

What that purpose is is another matter, but unless you live with instead of merrily on an things you are with the certainty of fate headed for grief. So live that through your thought and effort you contribute however and whatever you can toward realizing a progressively better world, and while you may not have the reaction of immediate pleasure, you will surely reap a richer harvest of future joy.

Morality To my mind, one of the finest expressions of a moral life Is to be found Its solicitude for the future which it can never reach and yet is eager to shape. Whoever exemplifies this conception asks not what has posterity done for him, but what he can do for posterity. Parenthood Generally speaking, people who eliminate parenthood from their married life impoverish their present- and foreshorten their future. It appears to me revolting also to contemplate the prospect of dying witnout offspring and so coming, upon earth at least, to a complete end.
