s1oo a month offered by the board.
 The Health Board chose Dr. Reeks. even though the Mayor was placed upon record as backing the other candidate. and. in doing so it ex- pressed the opinion, through it's chairman. Dr. Bray. that it was to be wiped out for its temerity in rum ming counter to the wishes of the Mayor. What can be wrong? It is impossible to conjecture, unless the Mayor has a personal antipathy to Dr. Reeks which cannot be explained to most of those who know him and are familiar with what he has done.
 The Health Board is to be con- graduated upon it's wisdom. upon the stand that it has taken. upon the de- cision that 1t has made. even though 1t must lose it's job. and even though We do not agree with the Mayor. It may be wiped out by His Honor. it may be individually fired from office. We shall attend the final services in it's honor with fitting despair and give it the praise that is it's due. with the conviction that it has acted for the veal of the multitude.\
 Yea, though the councillors acted wisely as is fitting. there Is dtssen- sion among the mighty. Yea though the Mayor. from the testimony ad- duced. didst make converse with the board In the tongue of the glorious and the omnipotent, even did the board offer resistence unto his bland ishments and to his commands. unto Il majority thereof and choose for a leader one who displeascd the higher one. Yea, though the Mayor didst taunt his men with their ignorance and offer dire punishment if they dis obeyed they acted with reason and justice. Allah defendeth always the right.
 And now. as I walketh among my fellows in the cool of the day won- dereth much at the proceedings of the chief of them all. These un- familiar signs upon the parchment of politics which I did so lately ex- change for the fruits of my labor in- spire me to confusion. Allah giveth wisdom in his season, mayhap his compassion will clear my brain.

the young man who excelled as a derful hitter that he was taken from the pitchers plate. where physical facts prevent a mans working more often than once in three days, and placed in the outfeld that he might be in the batting order every day. Thus early in the season he has come very near the home-run world record that he established last gear. He goes on from day to day. making circuit cIouts'' until even Wall Street is betting that he will not only beat his record of 29 made last year, but will beat it by eleven home runs. Still comparatively young at the game Ruth failed to make his customary home run yesterday.
 But. like an echo from the past, Laughing Larry Doyle" long a member of the New York National league team. stepped to the front, became rejuvenated and in the first game of the day knocked out home run and a single and in the second d home run, a double and two singles
 Thus for one day youth was thrust aside and the veteran, filled with the longing to come back strong, held the center of the stage.
 It was another example of the quality born of contest, developed through Encouragement and success, and remaining in the will long after nature has handicapped it's possessor by a slowing up of physical func- tions.
 The Fourth of July-Independenc Day. May it be one on which youth will keep on building character that will last long after the muscles have become stiffened. the eye less keen. May it be one when many older ones will "come back" mentally. morally and physically.

LOCKING THE CITY HALL.

The question of locking the City Hall, at the main entrance, after 12 o'clock midnight has, seemingly. come to a head in the last few days and protests have arisen against the practice of confining within a build ing. owned by the city. a certain number of people under lock and key. Tn the opinion of some it is a dan- gerous proc seeding.
 Expectations to city property, the committing of nuisances upon the various floors has been the reason for this move. A part of the general public at least has not shown the proper respect for the property which. after all is its own. There fore. 1t has been decided to keep out the public after the building has been deserted by city employees. There are to be no mole petty thefts and nuisances in City Hall.
 But. the city is also a landlord. 1t rents three floors of its five. With the first floor we are not concerned. it goes for stores. Above Is the city building proper and then we come to floors which are used for private purposes. notably the third, upon which people sleep. The members are entrusted with keys to the front door. there are fire escapes. but it Is risky business nevertheless.
 The solution of the difficulty is the requirement of a night watchman for the building. one who will prevent nuisances and the' possibilities of fire but who will admit of allowing the door to remain unlocked. thereby giving certain egress in case of fire. It fr an added expense. we fully realize, The question is. is it not a tusttnabid expense under the cir cumstances?

July the Fourth. The day when long ago d country, weak. declared that Indep endence was the goal it should seek For Liberty in action an for Liberty in thought through many years the Signer3 an the Signers' sons have fought. Ideal was the concept: it has grown through all tho years: 'twaa born in tribuiation; it's been bathed in manly tears. Today, survIvlng all it stands, the universal creed, to strengthen men who suffer an to succor men in need. Fair Liberty. the mother of Amer ica, the child, still lives in joy as on that ancient Natal day she smiled. The little child America has grown till now she stands revered an honored everywhere. the hope O many lands. An whether she lives bound by laws conceived an writ in state, or whether she is free to act twill be her envied fate to represent just Liberty an Independence true-to hold aloft her flag of Stars an Red an White an Blue. Once more may each American re- dedicate his soul as, long ago the Signers prayed, with Lib erty their goal.

 Mayor Curtis continues to bungle his way through the darkness. The fire commission is almost completely disrupted. Commissioner Frank L.. Conlon resigned this week and it is believed that he was inspired to leave the post because the mayor insisted on being czar with unqueStioning g obedience from his official family The resignation of Chairman A. E. Mag nell was anticipated and -sis said to have been hastened because he could not subscribe to the policy of His Honor. It is also rumored that all is not peaceful in the police board which is inclined to be rather cool in it's love for Mr. Curtis
 If these frequent resignations were merely incidents that affected the in dividuals involved tfae damage would be slight. It is a ct, however, that they are weakening thae morale in the ranks and the men i-1 blue are be- coming thoroughly diss-usted. If the people elected Mayor CIrtis as a pun ishment for his many y ,ars of inter- ference in city affairs they did a good iob of it.

At the annual convention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at Atlantic City, Homer Ferguson, the retiring president, estimated that the country is 3,000,000 persons short of the normal flow because of the war and the barriers that have been erect ed against the admittance of people from other climes. With the immi- grant problem facing us again, it would seem that this is the proper time to give Characterization intel ligent consideration, first, last and always by extending justice to the strangers, the same kind of justice any healthy American would demand abroad.

 probable that he will be heard in this city during the presidential camt paign unless his duties keep him in other parts of the country. Excellent judgment was used by the local committee in charge of St. 1 Francis hospital fund campaign in acquiescing to the request that their

 the New Britain hospital authorities
 are preparing to proceed immediately

 never be expressed in terms of money
 they also feel that the New Britain
 hospital should come first in our affections.
 It is proposed to increase accom- modations at ~fhe local institution to provide dormitories and recreation centers for the nurses. This is a 1 proper step, one which should not be delayed longer than necessary. If we
