THE FLAG

One week from today Memorial Day will be observed,
 Old traditions old customs are be- ing forgotten, Many of them should be forgotten-actiNey forgotten If such a state of mind may be conceiv- ed.
 New thoughts. new activities, are taking the places of many of the old memories. Many of them should so take the places Of dead dreams which make for nothing other than reminiscence. The world is more energetic, more efficient, because of such replacement.
 But nothing should take the place of the old love of beauty, country, service; nothing should replace grati- tude. honor, patriotism.
 The Flag represents beauty Of patriotism. loyalty Its display on Memorial Day stands for gratitude 1t Is a tribute to honor of service. There would seem to be no especial reason. perhaps. why that flag should be fly ing from a great number of homes and business places this year than last. But we are one year older There should be added to our appreciation of the fine things of life. the solemnity of death the knowledge gained, the more mature thought, Of one more year of life. Some things we did not understand a year ago we un- derstand today. Some things we did not appreciate a year ago we ap- preciate today. .-#
 May we not show that added appre citation, that deeper conception of things worth while that has come, by a more honestly simple observance of Memorial day in regard, especially, to the lisplay of the flag? And may we not plan, today, to have it flying from our homes?

JUTNEY HEARINGS

The public utilities commission will give a hearing in this city May 29 on two applications for permission to conduct jitney lines. One proposed line Is between Main street and Roxbury road and the other between Main and South streets.
 Plenty of publicity has been given the matter of reduction of trolley rates The commission has decided to grant no lower fares for the present at least Meanwhile there are many people in the city experiencing the same handicap in living that has been a burden to them for some time. They seem to have no spokesman. Even if the lower fares are granted they will be in the same position as at present. They will not have service, yet they 2 live In portions of the city which, ow- ing to gradual development are en- titled to service.
 II tween obtaining lower fares for the city, without added extension of serv- fare left at it is, the choice would have to be made Of the former. It entitled to be benefited, to have low cred fares than it would to have more extensive service. But the choice does not have to be made The high fares are here and, if the Connecticut com- pany is to have it's way in this respect, the people should have their way in the other-the matter of having more ground covered by public transporta- ton vehicles.
 No one desires to see a person enter the jitney business and lose practical ly all that person possesses, owing to a taking from him of his right to do business This has been the case here.
 But it is to be desired that as many people as possible may be served by transportation and as long as the Connecticut company continues to keep it's fares high, it would seem the least the utilities commission could do would be to grant permission to people who would serve by transpor- tAtion districts which are not served adequately by the Connecticut com pany.

DULL STAGE DOORS

London stage doorkeepers declare stagedoors are awfully dull these days, due to the disappearance of the old time beaux who waited, formally clad in evening clothes, for the actress whom he greeted with deferent courte- sy Today, these ancient persons of interest assert, the youthful male who comes to the stage door for the chorus girl, sits in his car smoking a cigarette and greets his inamorata with scant courtesy.
 "Mebbe, mebbe so," exclaims Si Perkins, the stage doors are dull, but l bet that thar automobile ain't dull, none, an the fun the young fel- Ter an the chorus girl gets is q lot healthier than it used to be when the dressed-up fops didn't have the pep to joy-ride.'
 The comment is suggestive of truth The London stage doorkeeper knows that there is far less evil in the motive which prompts the careless, cigarette smoking youth of today to call for the chorus girl in his automobile and treat her with a great camaraderie than there was in the motive of the old time beau who beneath a great display of respect and observance of the refinements of courtesy, planned no ''joy-ride" in the open and who did not care for the pleasure to be derived from good fellowship.
 Waiting at stage doors is not to be commended under all circumsts nces But If the manner of waiting" is to- day as described by the London at- tendant Of the door. in it may be seen another reflection of the altered times which, despite those who decry the modern world and its ways, are not worse than they used to be in this or other matters.

TIFF, EX-KAISE.R'S BOOK

| Former Emperor William has writ ten book said to deal with conditions
 in Europe before the war, so arrang- ed and interpreted as 10 constitute a defense of his course and an ac- cusation that circumstances outside of Germany were largely responsible for bringing on the conflict.
 The book will be of great value as a physiological study. A court judge may lean over the bar and ask the man accused of wrongdoing what made him do this thing The judge wants to know; the judge, a humani- tartan perhaps, is interested to find
 out the workings of a d that would result in perhaps a disgusting deed Probably the accused is too ignorant, too lacking in ability to eX- press himself, to tell the sympathetic judge why he did this thing. He may have felt he had a good reason; he may have seen only one course to pursue-and that was the course he took. But he is utterly unable to tell of the mental process which prompted the act The good friend of a person in trouble asks Why did you do this?" The friend. remorseful per r, Ia o,1lt
 Former Emperor Williams act are to be excused in no way. No explana- tion or defense will alter the judg- ment the world has passed upon him. Limited by our humanity we are not able to see any possible excuse for bringing upon the world the disaster, attended by such cruelty the effects of which will be felt for many years. But it is submitted that a close study of the reasoning by means of which William frees himself of blame; a scrutiny of the facts from which he started hiss train of illogic which led | him to believe the acton he took was i proper; the manner in which he mis- interpreted conditions in Europe in such a way that war seemed to him the right course to pursue-these things will make a valuab ble asset from the viewpoint of the phycholo- gist.
 And, unlike the case of the ignorant prisoner or the remorsetul friend, William will not be prevented, by ignorance or inability to express him.

 There have been many eXaggerat- ed statements as to the expenses of the Federal Reserve System, Mir.

 While such practices may keep the individual banker from getting in wrong with his customers when he is forced to deny them loans, Mir.

WARD SCOURS NY.
 FOR BLACKMAILERS
Confessed Slayer of One Seeks
 Other Two Implicated

White Plains, N. T., May 23.-- Search for two men known only as Ross and Jack" declared by Wal ter s. Ward of New Rochelle to nave been present when he shot and Killed Clarence Peters of Haverhill, Mass, near here the night of May 15, was continued today by Westchester coun- ty officials. Ward, after confesslng ne had killed a member of gang that had blackmailed him for $50, ,OOo ana then attempted to get s75,oOo more went to New York last night in con- pany with a number of officers and conducted a search of resorts where he declared the men might be found' It was an unsuccessful quest. Ward, who is the son of the president of the Ward Baking company is at liberty under a bail bond of $3o,OoO.
 Men Are Not Found
 He was accompanied to New York by Sheriff George J. Werner and four deputies who were joined by two New York detectives. Using a list made up by Ward, the party went into cabarets' restaurants and cafes in the white light district and carefully scrutinized every man present.
 When the seach along Broadway and its side streets failed to bring re- suits, Ward, with Sheriff Werner and the others, spent several hours on the lower east side but no men fitting the descriptions of theftwo men could be found.
 The sheriff said that Ross was a "contidence man of the highest call bre" while Jack" was more of the type of chauffeur. He added that Ross was the better dressed of the gang and was about 26 years old.
 The basis for the blackmail plot still remains unvealed as the lawyers representing Ward decline to make public any of bundle of letters given them by Ward which he received Tn the six weeks he was being threaten ed.
 Life Was Threatened
 The telephone call which resulted in the meeting by Ward of the men on the day of the killing was said to have been the threat by Peters we want $75,0o0 or your life will pay" This is the threat in the only letter disclosed. Sheriff Werner said that he had read a threatening letter with the demand for that sum.
 When Elwood M Rabenold, coun- sel for Ward was asked if there was woman in the case he answered:
 "The threats were aimed at his family"
 Allen R. Campbell, another of the lawyers was asked if the blackmail plot involved a woman and answered, T don't think I should answer that question"
 Did it start, as reported, at a race track?"
 T think it did.'
 Did it involve Wards war record ?''
 II can assure you that it did not answered MT. Campbell.
 Ward refused to answer any ques- tions stating tha& his lawyers had or dered him to be silent.
 Mrs. Ward said that she had not known of the plot for very long and added;
 I'm with my husband and l want to do everything l can for him. l have the utmost confidence in him. l am sorry that I cannot answer further questions
