 M. P. Hanley, who has recently retired from the position of superin- tendent of the Mineral Springs Co.'S mill, was most agresably surprised last evening by visit from the em- ployees. of that company:
 Augustus Storrs, who has always been ready to do all that could Ieason- ably be asked of him by the state con- cerning his gift of the property in Mansfield occupied by the agricultural school, has taken the necessary steps to remove all possible doubt about the title of the property, and he has fur ther than that informed the commit tee appointed by the leg islature last year that he will give the farm out right to the state, for an agricultural school, without conditions or restric- tions. He has offered to comply with the suggestions which the committee have made to him. It is difficult to see what more MT. Storrs can do tow ards satisfying those who have made questions of the validity of the title to the property ground for objections to the school being retained at Mans field.

The New Markets Commissioner

Whether John j. Dillon, Commissioner
of Foods and Markets, could have helped
to solve the pressing food problem under
other conditions than those he had to work
under is beside the point. The point is
that, holding that Office for long period
Of time, he proved unable to affect condi-
tons favorably for the public either by
his official acts or the great volume Of
criticism which he put forth.
1t is to be hoped that Dr.. Porter, who
has succeeded to this place under the re-
organization of the states food board
the Council of Farms and Markets-may
be able to accomplish more. He will have
in his favor the new state food law, which,
while not all it should be, is better than
none, plus a long administrative expert
ence as State Commissioner of Health and
considerable personal experience OF farm
conditions gained as the operator of a
large dairy farm. He may be expected to
work in harmony with Mr.. Mitchell and
the other members OF the State Food Com
mission. which Mr. Dillon, Il holdover from
previous period and previous political
administration, was not at all certain to
do.
Any aid which the state authorities, the
Federal authorities, the city authorities,
or all of them working together, can give
70 the hard-beset consumers is badly need
ed. If this change operates to produce an
acceleration of supply or reduction OF
nrices for foodstufs, the public VIII be
abundantly grateful.

"Restins Comfortably"

where do you get the absurd facts
Won print?" is a favorite query put TO
newspaper men. In the view OF these
cvnics. newspapers spend most of their
time misspelling names, imagining incl
dents that never happened, and generally
manhandling life as 1T is led.
There is Just one answer to be made to
the query above, and that Is: Newspapers
Get such of their facts as are absurd from
The absurd human beings who for on
reason or thousand refuse to relate
facts accurately" Newspapers, truth
telling newspapers, spend very large
mart of their time correcting these mis-
statements, running them to their source
and getting at the truth. A certain pro-
norton Of error gets by--not as great a
proportion as can be heard in any village
ncighborhood gossip, for it is the concern
of newspapers, of honest ones, that Is, to
allow for errors and correct them, where
as it is the concern of those other pur-
yeyors Of news, gossips, to create errors
whenever they are more interesting than
the truth.
For a small but significant illustration
we note in the news of the day in sundry
newspapers an account of an operation
for appendicitis upon the wife of a dis
tinguished citizen. After the operation
the doctors who performed it announced
officially that the patient was resting
comfortably" Have you ever been
operated upon for appendicitis, dear
reader? Or for anything else? II you
have you will know just how much rest
ing comfortably there is after any TAX
ING of ether. II the doctors had an
nounced that the patient was suffering
acutely and could not possibly rest for
many hours they would have described a
mild case Of post-operative torture.

The Polish Question

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In Frank II. Simonds's contribution to
Sundays Tribune the international implca-
tions of the Polish question were envisaged
with a dscernment and comprehensiveness
practically unknown to American journalism.
In its -chsracteristicslly American garb, this
subject, the mere mention of which never
fails to send a tremor along the HohenzCl-
lcrn spine, smells of the encyclopedia and
las a distinctly "llade in Germany" get up.
Too few people realize TO what sa extent
data affecting Poland have a German CT n
Russian origin, and when one considers the
avoved determination Of these nations 10
blot the very name and memory OF Poland
from the minds of mankind, the value of in
formation from such sources may readily DC
appraised.
To one pulsating with the eternal verities
underlying Poland's claims, Mr.. Simonds's
article comes with welcome far beyond the
expressing. It's very originality suggests a
grasp of data and cear-headed historical
insight undeceived By the historic Poland OF
journalism as created by German and Rus
sian calumniation and duplicity. Within the
brief limits Of his article Mr.. Simond5 has
made Il genuine contribution TO the literature
Of the subject, and to this extent nc has
made thousands of readers his debtors.
