AN UNIQUE DECISION

The decision of the Supreme Court of Missouri that the findings of the United States Railroad Labor Board are as binding as law and can be enforced in the courts, is unique. The finding of a referee appointed by the court itself, in most jurisdictions has to be adopted by the court before it becomes binding. It is strange, there fore. that a court should rule that decisions by board over which it has no control and with the ap- pointment of which it had nothing to do, are final.
 Courts have been very jealous of their power in the past. They have held people bound by the decisions of an arbitrator to whom they submitted their differences voluntarily. They have decided that when two con- testants say they will abide by de- cison of someone other than the court such persons must so abide by such decision. But this determination by the Missouri court is the first that has come to notice where a court has practically vested a board or person with it's own power.
 It is rather to be expected that the highest court in the land, despite the fact that the United States Railroad Labor Board is a creation of the United States government, would diff fer from the opinion of the respected Missouri court, if precedent is to be followed-and the time is not yet when precedent will be abandoned en- tirely as guide 10 legal decisions.

CITY DANCE HALL

Councilman Hellberg is sounding sentiment as to the advisabiity of introducing a resolution in the com mon council to provide for a city open-air dance hall.
 There will be immediate opposition from those who look with disfavor hesitate to start anything that sa- vors of taking a chance.
 on the plan from those who believe that the city will do well to try to brighten life here and from those who believe people, especially youth, should have a chance to enjoy life. gressives and those who recognize conditions as they are will be for the plan.
 In this matter there is a big ques- tion to be decided. Is it wise to con- tlnut lue pOllCS Ol pdlhluS tiloSN things which have been known as pleasures. innocently enjoyed until they were drowned down upon, or should the craving for pleasure be recognized and pleasure under proper regulation be encouraged to the end that secret enjoyment of what were once innocent pleasures leads to par ticipation in those same pleasures, no longer innocent, however, because they must be indulged in in secret?
 The city dance hall idea is a good one, regardless of the financial side of the matter. The light of day-or night as in this case-takes away the cloud of secrecy under cover of which harm may come. The summer in New Britain would be brighter were the plan to be carried through and some of the feeling of restraint, so latent of the wrong sort of inspiration. would be removed.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

An airplane sails over q mans head today He looks mp into the air, smiles, shakes his head with no great emphasis, an eXelaims, What would we have thought of that sight twen- ty-fyo years ago?" Then he goes on about his business, getting into his ear perhaps, thinking little Of the wonder of the great machine Of the air and thinking nothing of the won dertul mechanism that takes him along the road at trains speed,
 Our lack of realization of the change is brought forcibly to mind by glance at an advertisement in The Herald of twenty-five years ago, namely May 1, 1897 In that publi- cation there appears q comparative ly modest advertisement of the Gen. tury magazine, telling of a startling article to be published, entitled Scientific kite-Flying, by three eX- pertss'
 Accompanying the words there is n cut of a young man few feet above whose head is the picture of kite from which is suspended a little seat upon which the young man rests He holds tightly 10 a rope, and the kite seems to be climbing q cable which, though not shown in the cut, seems to be fastened to point diagonally above his head. Thus great display was given to the fact that experts" were going to tell how a human be- ing might rise in the air, carried by a kite which would travel on a cable perhaps to q point an hundred feet in the air.
 A consideration of such solemn of 25 years ago tmpels one to look about and wonder what changes, today undreamed of, will come with the passing of another twenty five years.

THE HEALTH BOARD.

The board of health commissioners, because of it's importance personally to every resident of the city, comes in for more censure and criticism, possibly than any other city body. If 1t does its work well and the health of the people in the city es good lit tie is said. There are few compi- ments showered upon it or upon the superintendent of health.
 If there is much sickness here the health board is blamed. If there is not much sickness but a wave of economy sweeps over the people, the health board is blamed for something about it's automobile. Il the health superintendent is unpopular, the health board gets the blame. If he is popular nothing is said about the health commissioners.
 In connection with the new board of commissioners it is gratifying to note that a woman has been appoint ed to it. Dr. Gertrude kinsela will bring to the deliberations of the board peculiar to her sex, in the health of not only her knowledge and interest the people, but skill in her profession, regardless of sex. The new board finds health conditions in the city

CLEAN SPEECH.

Profanity and indecent talk is eN- dence of ignorance. It is evidence, also, that the profane person or the speaker of indecent words associates, by preference probably, with ignorant people.
 This fact is emphasized because abandonment of the use of profanity may be brought about by such em- phasis where it might not be effected in any other way.
 No man wants to be known as ig norant. He may not care a great deal although people may call him immoral or sacrilegious. He may even delight in being known as a devil of a fellow who fears neither God nor man" He may rovel in his reputa- tion for immortality. He may think such reputation makes him more in teresting" He may think he is "smart."
 But the moment he is called an ignorant fool" he resents it, The moment he understands that vulgar ity, indecency and profanity stamps him as one unable to express himself with emphasis without the use of such language, he rebels.
 There are good reasons why peo- pie of fine ideals avoid indecent and profane talk. They avoid indecent and profane thoughts for the same reasons, and they shun those who in dulge in the use of disgusting words and phrases. There is no need to give 10 such people added reasons to dislike the just appellation "ignor ant man" that avoidance Of indecent and profane language is recommend ed. The person who does not possess such pride is beneath contempt.

DEDUCTIBLE GIFTS.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellor has held up, pending review, the rul. ing that gifts to the Woodrow Wilson Foundation were not deductible by taxpayers from their taxable incomes despite the fact that similar gifts tc the Mckinley fund and the Roosevelt fund were so deductabe.
 The ground upon which the distinc- tion was made was that the gifts in memory of Roosevelt and Mckinley were to fund for educational pur- poses, while the Wilson foundation was not incorporated for such pur- pose.
 Possibly the first ruling was correct technically. The holding up of a final decision. is certainly in accord with the broad justice of the case. Prob ably not one per cent of the contrib utors to any of the three funds know the wording of the papers of incor- poration Of the organization to which their contributions were given. Not one Of those donors, more than an other, is entitled to exemption be- cause of the gift; not one of them should be held liable to pay a tax on the amount so contributed, more than another. Each contributor, probably, in making his or her donation was in splred by the desire to honor the memory of Roosevelt, Mckinley or to honor Wilson, and not by an especial desire to aid the cause to be the spe- cial interest of the organization named after any one of these men.
 To say nothing of the evidence of a sense of propriety shown in halting the effect Of the decision as made at first, the change reflects the present day spirit Of looking at the broad equity of a matter without regard 10 technicalities. The same tendency may be seen in the greater independ- ent spirit in politics throughout the country and the necessity, recognized by advanced thinkers, of getting away from precedent.

the allies for damages the allies agree not to press for immediate payment of those obligations, Then, when the perpleXing question of the ownership of individual property comes up-a matter made complex because Russia says she cannot pay in real property or money because such property or money belongs to all the people of Russl--the allies pass the buck to mixed tribunals. There will be- 2 commission for each nation where there are individuals having claims. These tribunals will decide the mat ter of how Russia is to pay Il hav- ing been agreed that Russia is fully liable for property damages foreign CTS have incurred in Russia.

 Chief Justice Taft is to name the president of the nj Xed arbitral com mission which will consider ihe meth ods Russia must adopt of paying her pre-war debts. The interested pow CTS will name a member Of such com- mission and Russia will name an- other.
 This decision of the allies merely establishes another text for Russia to accept in part, reject in part and counterpropose" regarding the rest.

POINCARE MAY GO
 TO GENOA FARLEY
French Premier Expected to Take Part in Closing Sessions of
 Conference.

Genoa, May 2.--(By Associated Press, )--Premier Poincare of France may come to Genoa for the closing sessions of the economic conference. President Millerand's return from his African trip will make it possible for the premier to leave the capital and the question whether he will join the other premiers here will be one of the subjects he will discuss with M. Bar thou head of the Trench delegation here who is leaving today for several days conferences in Paris.
 The most important question to be discussed by M. Barthou and his chief, it is understood is that Of Frances attitude on the non-aggres- sion pact proposed by the British premier. Mr Lloyd George. Numer- ous drafts of such pact are said to have been composed by various dele gates and these drafts have all been put in the pot and are being boiled together" as one English leader de- scribed it.
 Whether M Poincare will consent to . meeting of the signatorses of the treaty of Versailles to discuss German reparations before May 13 is another subject for the barley in Paris. Frenchmcn here believe it unlikely that NJ. Poincare would agree to talk separations at Genoa.
 The srb- commission on Russian af- fairs was to meet this afternoon for final approval of the memorandum to the Russians the details of which were completed late last night. The memorandum will probably be sent to the Russians later in the day.
