Judicial Common Sense.
(Kansas City Journal.)


 There is little town down in Okla homa called Red Rock. It doesn't get upon the first page very often, if at all. 1t never has its picture in the papers and is never given page write ups in the metropolitan prints. But for all that it seems to be progres- sive and public-spirited place. The other day it held an election to vote on bonds to purchase it's WaterWorks. The election was very close in fact, it was decided in favor of the bond proposition by only one vote. The de- feated side took the matter into court, alleging that one of the voters was ineligible. Whether he had moved out of his precinct, or had not been properly naturalized, or some other reoson had forfeited the sover eign perogative of casting q ballot, does not appear in the dispatches con- veying the news item. Be that as it may, the tangle came before Judge William Bowles of Perry for un- travelling, and he ironed out the kinks in the following fashion:
 We are living in fast age. We all like public Improvements, but none of us like the taxes. We are riding about in automobiles when we ought 
 of Red Rock want to improve your town. admire you for it and will not stand in your way. There was no fraud in your bond election. The qualifica- tions of four or five voters was ques- toned yet every taxpayer who wanted to vote was accorded the privilege.
 There was one vote cast of which there is doubt about the qualifications of the voter, I will give you the bene- fit of the doubt, favoring public spirit and progresSiveness to build up rather than to retard and tear down. Your city can only thrive with a united and concerted effort of all your citizens. l hope you will not quarrel or engage in dissension, but all pull together for the good of your community. And I am going to do what I can to help the cause along of good fellowship and promotion of public welfare and improvement
 There is something refreshingly broadminded and patriotic in this view of public improvements. Of course. the court may be entirely wrong in this particular case; one wholly unacquainted with the legal in tricacies of the dispute would not venture to express an opinion there 
 the hair-splitting in which so many learned jurists indulge and which so often retards public improvements of vital importance will welcome this breezy and progressive decision by Judge Bowes. There is something typically Western, if not distinctive of Oklahoma justice itself about the view that courts should assist an en- ergetic community to get material benefits. They do not always give the side of progress the benefit or the doubt but have plenty of wise saws and modern instances to show why the failure to dot all '1'' or cross d ''t' invalidates the proposition. Judge Bowles may be overrulcd on appeal, but he has handed down a decision that is luminous with morse sense" and replete with civic patriotsm-a feat which, despite too many excep- tions, is being more and more ire quently performed in these days.

ONE FOREIGN LANGUAGE.
To Be Studied by Midshipmcn Ut Nav
 val Academy in Future.

Washington, April 10.-Midship- men at the naval academy will have to study but one foreign language in the future. as the result of the approv- al by Secretary Daniels of a recom- mendation by the superintendent of the academy changing the course of modern language.
 The change was brought about by the failure of the midshipmen to master two foreign languages in the time that is available for their study. Half of the midshipmcn will study French and the remainder Spanish.

It is to Professor Lounsbury that most of the credit for the building up of the department of English litera- ture at Yale to its present high stand ing is due. Many of the younger men of the English faculty as it is now constituted sat under him in their undergraduate days and carried the ideals and the standards which they had formed from his teachings into their own classes later on. 1t might almost be said that he moulded Yale thought in matters of literature His bon mots have some of them become almost bywords at Yale, especially in Yale classes in English literature, and there are few courses in English for the upper classes in which at some time Professor Lounsbury is not men, toned. He ranked in Yale life with William Graham Sumner. His classes were always popular. both because of their intrinsic value and because of the man himself, and his iniu- ence extended far beyond the class room. The older generation of Yale men knew him we'll and the younger generation felt, because of the infiu- cnce which he unconsciously cxerted. that they knew him well also.

Unattractve places, eyesores and accumulations of rub- bish in backwards, cellars and alley ways need constant attention, but there should be one time during the year at least when an extra effort to clean up ought to be made.-Nor- Wich Bulletin.
 That fool law introduced at Hart ford at the instance of theorists out side the state to regulate newsboys, has been very properly killed by the education committee of the general assembly. If there is one honorable calling that has thoroughly v1ndicated itself it is that of the newsboy. It makes men. It affords an honest oc- cupation for little hands which are very apt to get into mischief when there is nothing to do. Because few newsboys go wrong-we have yet to know of one that did-is no reason why ninety per cent. of good ones should be deprived of an opportunity to do things. Kindly and we'll mean ing theorists can often do more harm, if their ideas prevail, than the most evil minded individual. You can guard against the latter, but you may trust the former until he steers you onto the rocks.-Bridgepor oPst.

Mayor Quigley is having the quc.5- tion of municipal lighting looked up with a view to estimating whether or not it is necessary for the common council 10 pass on the question again before the city, preparatory to taking a vote on it at the polls has sufficient Iy declared itself in favor of the pro- iect under the law. 1t is a good plan to have this point cleared up so that if New Britain should ever decide to go into the lighting business it's path will be clear. It has been said that the time is coming when all cities will do their own ligh ting but it seems as if the time must be far off, especially in these cities where there is a private plant. Those cities which have nll- nicipal lighting plants repeatedly fur nish evidence to show that it is T financial success, but there is q great deal to be considered and much mon ey must be expended before that point is reached and it is there where tho New Britain shoe pinches. This city is not in bad way financially, but if there was to be a vote taken by the people It would be strongly in favor of paying off some of what 1t owes before

The great trouble in the average New England city is the fact that street sprinkling especially is done more or less on a fixed schedule, Lik e the steam in some of the flats it is started and concluded at n certain date regardless of weather conditions, A little more elasticity in the matter would be beneficial both from the standpoint of public health and gen eral appearance A real recognition of the danger at the right time would prove our officials to be men of brains in the right place.--Norwich Re- cord.

There is some evidence at hand that the annual city meeting to be held within the next two weeks will be more interesting than the ordinary gathering of men for the purpose Of making the appropriations neces- sary to operate the government for a year. The reduction of some $3,000 from the appropriation for the New Britain Institute hy the common council has caused a great deal of unfaNorabic comment and it is like ly that there will be something doing about it at the city meeting Just what course the movement may take is difficult to say, but the sentiment at present is strongly in favor of an effort to restore the original amount of the appropriation to the budget as prepared by the board of finance and taxation. Unless this is done the h. stitute will suffer this year and the reputation of New Britain will be in- jured. There can hardly be any doubt of that, and the prospect is not being very pleasantly received by number of people, who,by the way, object to an increase in taxation, but who apparently do not care to have
 
 is al long the general line of talk con- oerning the Institute appropriation. Somehow there does not appear to have been any act of the council which has occasioned so much dis pleasure as has this. It is not by any means confined to patrons of the In- stitute, but to many others some of whom have never been inside the li- brary. 1t is believed that the pat rons of the library have been so much displeased over the action of the council that they have communi- cated their feelings to their friends and acquaintances and these seem to take in about the entire population near for the city meeting, the feeling is becoming more pronounced. The chances of the Institute farng bet ter next year are pretty good, because there are a number of new buildings being erected and it is from these that the city depends for an increase in the grand list, and the increase next year is likely to be considerably increased This will make it better for all departm ents, some of which are patiently waiting for more money so that they can extend their field of activities. It is better for New Brit ain to take care of at least the actual reeds of each department every year than to be cutting off certain things now and then, being compelled to provide them and possibly other im- provements in the year to come.

 peared before the ~""""""--n"- committee on cities and boroughs this week and given his side of it. Mayor Quigley does not see any weakness in the policy of di- Nlslon on the ground of expense, be- cause he figures out that the cost of maintaining two boards will not be any larger than in maintaining the board or public safety, the cost under either system being estimated at about $S00. It has never appeared that the question of expense was the chief objection to division The poin: has been considered, but it is at best only minor one. The fact that the mayor was to appear before the com m1ttee was not announced, as re- suit the newspapermen were not pres cnt, his exact words have not been made public and what he has been credited with saying since suggests at least that he confined himself only to the cost under both systems. Many public men have been heard to say that the tendency Of the times is for fewer officials and that because of that fact New Britain would be bet ter off with one board of four mem hers to manage the police and fire de- Indn to nave two DOslfuS with twice the number of officials, even though the expense is not any greater. Mayor Quigley is not alone Tn the theory that the board of pub lie safety should be divided and the question is of that character that per- m1ts of an honest opinion on either side with no prospect of the cause of good government being injured no matter which side wins. The ques- tion, however, may have a far reach ing effect in the long run for the req son that there will he other duties than those now in existence to be performed in the near future, or whenever the time arrives for the separation of the police and fire de- partment headquarters on Commer- cial street. The city will have better service at that time with one board than with two. It was thought that the matter would be formally under taken under the Quigley administra- tion, but it looks now as if it would fall to the next mayor and there is no telling just now who that will be. | MT Quigley will in all probability be 1 a candidate for a renomination, and | there does not seem to be any op- | position to him in sight just now. The election, however does not oc- cur for another year.

NEW LEASE LAW
 ROE SUMMER HOMES

According to the terms of the agri cultural appropriation act recently passed by Congress, it is now possible for responsible persons to lease, for periods not exceeding thirty years five.acre tracts within the National forests for the construction of sum mer homes, hotels. stores. or other recreation of public conyeniences- This announcement was made today by the district forester at Portland, oregon.
 Heretofore. camping sites, hotel sites and the like could be rented, at nominal fee, under special use per init. While this permit was given for an indefinite period, 1t was revocable by any government officer at any time Under the terms of the new law, how. ever such sites may be leased for a term of years and not even the Presi- dent of the United States may cancel lease except for violation of its pro- visions. 1t is, of course optional with the applicant whether he obtains his camping site under special use per nit or lease. It is obvious that man desiring to secure location in the forest for summer hotel would feel that his investment was better pro tected by a lease.
 It should be understood that this lease law is not homestead law in any sense. and the title to the land remains with the government At the expiration of the lease. unless renew ed, the lands will revert to the gov ernment The Secretary has no au- thority under this law to issue pat ents.
 Many people have already ayailed themselves of the camping site priyi- lege. and as a result there are many summer homes within the National forests of the Northwest. There are still many scattered lots and some surveyed tracts which offer splendid opportunities for recreation grounds in the forests Of Washington and Ore gon. notably in such localities as kla- math Lake. Oregon. Lake Chelan, Lake Keechelus, Lake Queniult. and cres' cent Lake. Washington.
 1t is expected that the Secretary of Agriculture will approve, in the near future, regulations which will effec- lively carry out the provision of this law

"As the wives and helpmates of those who settled and developed Alaska and os the mothers Of those who win continue the de- velopment and preservation of the Territory. they are entitled to the ut most consideration" said the head of the order in Alaska.
