A NEW CONTINENT

A short news dispatch says that
Captain Amundson, who starts on his
polar expedition tomorrow, has an
nounced that he will try to find the
great undiscovered continent of the
North. He indicated that he would
reserve the right to name the con-
tinent should he find it.
Many persons will read that dis
patch-and pass on to the perusal
some threatened strike of workmen,
some narrative of a murder mystery.
When the newspaper is put aside the
last thing that will be remembered
will be the fact that a we'll known ex-
to look for an undiscovered continent.
Yet how small seem the those items
matter! The comparison rather sug-
gests our failure to grasp the signifi-
CAuCc Oh tHe really Dis iHihss, our
failure to devote any time during the
busy day, to contemplation of the
possibilities lying in the unknown fu-
ture, We may safely say that there
u little prospect of discovery to
compare with that of Columbus. But
may we safely say that there is not
waiting for us news Of some land. al

CITY MEETING BOARD

Last night there was meeting Of
the city meeting board. 1t was called
for the purpose of taking necessary
action to save the city considerable
money, through resembling previous
action in authorizing 100000 worth
OF bonds, and substituting arthoriza-
non for $4,000 bonds to take care
OF the matters provided for in the for
mer issue, to meet the requirements
OF the state as to erection of fire es-
capes in schools, and to erect a new
school.
Rather important matters, these.
They were matters which all the tax
payers in the city used to vote upon.
But owing to the growth of the city
1t was deemed best to give authority
to some 1S4 representative citizens to
attend to these matters for all the
people. Those 1S4 people were duly
named
There were about % of those
honored people present last night to
attend to the interests of the people
who believed in them to the extent
of allowing them to look after their
affairs. Those IS people did what
seemed hest-they took the wise ac-
ton. rescinded the old action and
authorized the new bonds. The people
of the city are to be congratulated on
having 25 representatives who believe
that they should show, by their at
tendance at sessions of the city meet
ing board, that they appreciate their
responsibility
1t is rather a shame that the other
159 or so had more important or
more pleasant affairs to occupy their
attention.

"a MAYOR REBELS"

The New Haven Journal Courier
commenting editorially under this
title on Mayor Paonessa's declining
a recent invitation to speak in public
on matters outside his official duties
says in part: The mayor who, having
started on social career, renigs pre-
pares the way for long and lonely
soiourn at the headwaters of the
river Neglect. A mayor is supposed to
laugh with the merry, drink with the
thirsty, weep with the afflicted, open
the baseball season, have a word of
salt cheer for the sailors and smell
powder with the soldiers. This is not
the idea of the Mayor of New Brit
ain. He has the odd idea that he has
been elected to attend to the business
of the municipality. We shall watch
Ills career with unusual interest if
pace he has struck but can he keep
it up? The temperature of public
stations are said to be hard to re-
sist. The cheers of the multitude are
so Intoxicating that they should fall
under the ban of the Vostead act
All of which is quite true. The
career of Mayor Paonessa will be
watched with interest by others be-
sides the lournal-Courier. The posi-
ton of Mayor Paonessa is unique. IN
politics fer years, "a politician" ac-
cording TO popular belief, ne is sin
core III his personal statement that
there has been too much politics in
the city affairs. If he has a fault it
is not lack OF earnestness in his dc-
sire to serve the city we'll. Moreover
he has sense enough to know the Of
flee OF mayor does not make him, ipso
faeto. especially qualified to speak on
dill subjects CIV all occasions.
Rut there are matters on which the
Mayor is especially qualified to
speak, There are matters upon which
he should speak when opportunity Of
fers. There are movements which
would be greatly aided by having the
authority of his backing. On such &C.
casions, when the city or the people
of the city will be benefited by his
assistance, it is hoped Mayor Paones-
sa will speak. 1t is to be presumed
that his rule will not be so hard and
fast against speaking at night at
gatherings as to prevent his accepting
invitations or opportunities to aid in
such cases. or to prevent his speaking
when, as head of the city government,
it would be proper and seemly for him
to appear.

GERMAN REPLY APPROVED.

Tho Reparations commission. by
ponements Of payment OF Germanys
debts II matters are not proceeding To
success OF any bad faith on Germany's
part due to a failure to make salts
factory arrangements in case of a
failure to get the foreign loan. Ger
many conditioned her reply on the OBJ
tanning Of this loan, Some question
has arisen as to what she would do If
that loan did not come. II she made
the best OF 1t, and sought to cooper
ate with the commission in doing as
well as she WAS proven to be able
under those circumstances, the com
mission would be disposed to be
lenient. If, however, she threw up her
hands, for effect, and protested that 1t
would he impossible to make any
payments at all without that loan, or
10 90 anything llle commission nus
gested, she would make plain the fact
that all her protestations of endeavor
were made in bad faith.
One does not have to be tinged
with pro- Germanism to feel satisfac-
ton that she has made a reply that is
acceptable TO the allies. The loan will
probably come if the issuing of paper
money and the supervision of the
floating debt by the allies brings
about a ceasing of its increase. Ger
tanly, from an economic standpoint,
some satisfaction may be felt that this
much, at least, has been done toward
sterilization Of Europes affairs.

DROP YOUR CONIPLEX

1t is pleasant to learn from a
humorous expert that Freud. Jung,
and others whose philosophy made us
/ feel that we were pretty rotten sort
Of creatures and that we had better
be careful how we mentioned our sup
posedly innocent thoughts lest others
might discover lust how degenerate
we were, have been relegated to the
place where there is weeping and
wailing.
We are glad to know that such
practical matters as glands, the pitu-
itary, the thyroid, the pineal, the
gonad, should be the theme of con-
versation among the attempting-to-
be-smartly- erudite. Lies complex
ties are thus gathered together into
one general mass of conjecture which
is easy Of comprehension as said
glands are easy of transposition.
And yet those casually thoughtful
gentlement who declared in myster-
ious words that things are not at all
what they seem, served a great pur-
pose. They did make it quite fashion
able and smart to think bit, if only
to convince oneself that forgetting to
bring ones umbrella to the Office
when it looked like rain did not nee
essarily imply that one had com
mitted a murder once upon a time, in
a rain storm, and that ones complex
was hatred of umbrellas because it
reminded one subconsciously of muir
der and the danger attendant upon
committing it.
So smattering of Freud if Freuds
theory was understood and not mis-
interpreted, did not injure provided
the smaltering left no seeds of mis-
understanding or misconception of
life, But perhaps the glands are safer
as discussions basis, provided, of
course a man does not make
monkey out of himself

AFTER THE WAR

Big business is bowling against the

lust how sincere and how far reach

guilty of war frauds going to be. They
are trying not to think too much
about those war frauds They are
rather unpleasant affairs. 1t was
really awful, they say with their lips,
how men made money wrongfully
here in this country out of contracts
with the government, while other men
were fighting on the battle fields of
France, Those guilty of war frauds
were hcnitless almost beyond belief
Meanwhile two ex-service men a
day are committing suicide. They
would not have committed suicide if
they had been in their normal minds,
of course. They did not want to com
nit suicide. But somehow over in
France, things happened that did not
blow any limbs from their bodies,
perhaps but things that had a strange
effect upon their brains. They seemed
all right when they came home, sound

BOARD APPROVES
new BOND ISSUE
Only Is in Attendance When
S570,000 Item Is Passed

Mayor Paonessa presided for the
first time last night at a session of
the city meeting board, held in the
auditorium of the Central Junior
High school when action was taken
on the recommendation of the COM
mon council to rescind action taken
several months ago to issue school
bonds of 100000 and include that
amount in a new $4,000, school
bond issue.
Small Attendance.
The meeting was attended by only
% members Martin j. Kelley OPP
posed an extension of the trade educa-
ton system in vogue CHASING the
schools as sweat shops" William F..
Toy felt that there should be de-
crease in the taX-rate and unless
there is action to that end, he felt
the property owners would be unable
to lower their rents.
Mayor Paonessa said the board of
finance and taxation did not dispose
of the previous bond issue because the
market was not favorable, and by re-
scinding the vote by which the $780,
600 bonds were issued, the city would
F>be able to save thousands Of dollars
The mayor pointed out that the fire
escapes which the state has ordered
installed on some of the buildings
here would cost upwards of $4,000.
This item was included in the pro-
posed issue as is s150o00 for the cree
ton of a new school on South Main
on the so-called Long and Noight
sites.
Kelley Opposes
Mr.. Kelley took the floor again and
objected to an extension of the trade
school system, feeling that the chill
dren from the elementary grades lose
time from their regular studies while
learning trades. Mr.. Kelley felt that
in giving a young boy tools, he would
be attracted to them and forget his
other studies. He did not feel the
responsibility of voting on such a
large bond issue should be made at
such poorly attended meeting.
Finance Commissioner T. H. Kehoe
agreed with much of Mr.. kelley's
talk, but reminded those present that
by the law which the city meeting
board was created, there can be no
amendment without properly pub
lished notice. This made it clear that

THE MISSING FLAGS

A number of flags We're taken from
graves where they had been placed
Memoria Day to honor the memory
OF veterans. They were stolen. There
is little to be said, yet the impulse to
express indignation is strong.
Probably the flags were taken by
mischievous boys or little children. 1t
is unthinkable that adults with any
sense of fitness of things at all could
have been guilty of the acts. 1t is not
probable than any feeling against the
flag or the cause for which the dead
veterans fought could have been the
inspiration of the acts. Ignorance,
thoughtlessness failure to understand
these were the reasons for the TAX
ing Of the flag.
