citizen. Probably he would have been thus honored had he been prot estant or Jew His religious belief might have had nothing to do with the respect his life won, II was mem ory of the man which was to be hon. ored not the memory of Catholic official merely because of what he represented as such official. There was no minging of church and state in the proclamation 10 honor his memory The closing of the schools was not for a purely sectarian req son."
 But it would seem that the ku Klux Kan. because he had been Roman Catholic, disapproved of his being honored. No matter how firm an up holder of the constitution, no matter how good citizen he might have been. the Kan would take the same stand-if. indeed, the communication came from that organization. The reasoning of the communication was 2 mere subterfuee to prevent the honoring the memory of a Roman Catholic. Such act is to be con- dcmncd.

for the feeling that ran high there Not only is the union which Lewis represents liable, but Lewis himself Is liable and the county which refused to take precautions when precautions would have prevented the tragedy that county is liable for damages. The pitiful thing about 1t is that damages, large as they may be when figured In material wealth, cannot begin to make up for the suffering. the loss, that has come through the catastro- phe that has come.
 And catastrophe has come to the decent, law-abiding men who are members of the unions and who grieve as much as anyone that this thing has happened. A great blow has been struck against unionism. Men and women who have labor's interest at heart, after pausing in consternation at the terrible human tragedy, are sincerely sorry that unionism has suffered thus through the failure of labor leaders at such time.

AN AMERICAN WINS

The fine showing of the America players in the British open golf tolrn; lment, eliminating in the winning q
 tine cup and the 75 pound purse b, Walter Hagen. is another evidence C. the fact that Americans may excel i activities other than those reduirin. trength, dash, enthusiam-char- icteristics in which it is generally ,onceded Americans are superior to people of most other nations.
 Nor does the American victory de tract a whit from the credit due the
 asst British entrant, the veteran George Duncan, for the game fight he made to win. James Barnes another American, who tied with Duncan. showed good nerve in his play under the handicap brought by an early misfortune in the fourth round
 The victory of Hagen is especially satisfactory to Americans as it is the first time the cup has been won by a native of this country, although iiutehison, previous holder of the cup is an American but born in Scot land and learned the game in Europe.
 Local golfers will remember the skiilful play of both Hagan, the win ner, and Barnes, who tied with Cutler for second honors. The two played on the shuttle Meadow links not long ago, Duncan has also appeared here.
 Golf is becoming more and more of an American game. It will never take the place of our baseball, but familiarity with it, far from "bresd- ing contempt" brings a real apprecia- tion of it's value and pleasure giving qualities. An American victory in a contest requiring skill, courage, con- centration and thought is always worth noting.

GARBAGE AND REFUSE

An incident occurring at the com mon council session last Wednesday evening shows the popular confusion of the words garbage" and refuse. There is a difference, and the differ ence is important, as refuse may bs entirely harmless while garbage often creates a nuisance and endangers the health.
 The resolution providing against the dumping of material on the city dumps between six P. NJ. and eight A. M at first read that garbage should not be dumped there without the permission of the board of health.
 Superintendent of Health Fred Lee pointed out that as the state law pro hibited such dumping of garbage at any time, neither the board of health nor anyone else could give permission for such dumping. The word which should have been used and which was subsequently inserted in the resolution was refuse Garbage is refuse, but refuse is not always garbage.
 Thus it may be seen that garbage is something latently dangerous. The authorities prohibit it's being dumped and left to breed disease germs. No provision is made for authority to place it exposed to the air. It should be burned up or used in proper way. From this it may be seen that the un- covered garbage can in the back yard may be considered menace. Self interest should prompt people to at tend to it as long as there is no municipal arrangement for it's collec- ton. It should never be confused with mere refuse. anything that is worth less. It should never be allowed to become breeder of disease germs.

THE LAW JUSTIFIED

No one who has read the awful strike war will regret for a moment the recent decision of the United states supreme court holding the funds of unions liable for damages caused by strikes ordered by them The union officials responsible will be the exception to the rule of course But there will be no basis for the feeling that the unions or the men were treated unfairly by that decision
 The Associated Press, calm, care ful, says: "But the mining went on uninterruptedly until word came from John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers of America that the men working the mine should be considered as common strike breakers Several hours after this message was received the entire country dveloped a nervous tension and the massacre followed"
 Yet Lewis says the United Mine Workers of America is not responsible for the unfortunate occurrence" He planes Sinister influence" What. did he suppose, would be the result of his word sent into this community known to be peopled by miners in clined to lawlessness-this community known as Little Egypt" notorious

"STRIKE UP THE BAND"

The Walnut Hill park summer sea son really opens today. This after noon the first of what should prove tC be a sermon Of interesting baseball games is being played, And tomorrow evening the first of the band con certs will be given in the park.
 The program for the concert look good" The band will play well Many old comments might be made The good advice might be giNer those who wander about listening tf the strains of music to heed tho music, not disturb others and to be have themselves in seemly fashion.
 But that is not the matter empha sized. Orderly people will be orderly decent people will be decent; music lovers will enjoy the beauty of the music and music haters will revilc tall this, no matter what advice ]. given.
 The point of the thing is that the city is about to Strike up the band. There will be music in the air, there should be pleasure in the atmosphere Each week should be more pleasant because of the band concerts. People should profit by them not because they make up their minds in cold blood to have a good time, but rather because the pleasant time will come to those not violently against having a good time or allowing others to have a good time.
 Officially the city is telling it's people. through strains of music and through out of doors sports, that the time has come for them to make the most of the glorious summer. The hint should be taken by men and women who have it in their power to give pleasure to others. Happiness should encourage the feeling. May everyone try to make the summer q happy one; may everyone Strike UT the band."

SUBTERFUGE

A report from Paterson, N J. states that the Ku Klux Klan objected strenuously, through a communica- tion, to the closing of the public schools for the funeral of a deceased Dean of a Roman Catholic church. The wording of the communication was, in part, Therefore we strenu- ously object to the closing Of our pub uc schools at this time or in the fut- ure for any purely sectarian reason, " on the ground that the Klan stands four square behind the public school system and the constitution of the United States which calls for the sep aration of church and state"
 The mayor of the city, who issued the proclamation closing the schools, pointed out that for sixty years the Dean had been a force in the com- munity for law and order and better citizenship.
 The point is that this man who had died was evidently much respected

IEELAND'S TRAGEDY

The killing of Field Marshal Will son, lately military adviser to the 'lster government, is q tragedy to all Ireland. The more one loves Ireland .,le deeper the regret. Sympathy for 'he murdered mans family and
 friends in their sorrow fades before ne more intense Encouragement that -omes to those who long for the time when Ireland will again be at peace, rec. happy, prosperous. and its people able to go about their work md pleasure with the song on their ips, the smile in their eyes which are 9 fittingly associated with the ga, aature of the people of the beautiful island.
 rreatness to those who are naturally lrgered by the assassination vhicI gill prevent their undoing all th. good that the result of the recent ,Iections in Ireland seemed to do. And here is the hope that those who lated the murdered man and who opposed him in his political belief nd service will join in the regret Ss''- rally manifest over the act, to th md that the punishment of tl-r riminals who destroyed him vii! nc be the signal for upholding them as martyrs to the Irish cause,
 May this latest tra gedy not blot put the vision of the picture beinf painted of a peaceful, happy and free Ireland.
