THE COUE KLUX KHAN.

Many smiles have been raised over
 the story of the "Coue Klux klan"
 which has for it's slogan Every Day
 in Every Way We're Training Elm
 Better and Better" and which is try
 ing to see to it that the sidewalks in the Maple Hill neighborhood are kept clear of snow. It is probable that the Coueites are having a good time over it, and it is probable that their .'victims"--the people whose walks they shovel off-are not object ing strenuously.
 But, in all the humor of the situa- ton, there is a suggestion worth con- sidering. When few persons disre- gard the general welfare dssension comes. Cliques are formed. What starts as a joke becomes a serious matter. The duty of every man to work for the good of all is empha- sized. The world would be pretty uncomfortable place to live in if every man thought only of himself.
 From small beginnings great move ments grow. Taking the law away from duly constituted authority, which is backed by every person, is not a good thing. Yet allowing per sons to forget their duty to their neighbors is not a good thing. The however. should come from properly constituted authority If ro sucb authority exists the situation .bould be remedied by proper. legal ,teps. No one planes the Coueites ,erv much for shoveling off those walks and calling the attention of the

 To top off Mir. Babson's optimistic statement 1t might be added that he predicts lower prices for coal in 1928 than in 1922.

ANTIQUES

| An interesting news item telling oi the method of English dealers in 'an' tiques' in "faking" old furniture. sug- eests another fraud not mentioned ir | the report. It seems that dealers ir | antique furniture in England--and | presumably lsewhere-purchase a really old bedstead. for instance. They | take it apart and manufacture some dozen new bedsteads just like the
 original, each of which new ones will
 contain some part of the genuine an-
 tique. These twelve bedsteads are
 then sold as genuine antiques at very
 high prices. Of course the dealer is able to point to the one particular genuine part of the new bedstead and
 prove" by it that the whole is an old piece.
 People are pretty we'll warned against buying old stuff at fancy prices. The schemes of dealers in antiques are fairly we'll known. It is said that even antique dealers at times are fooled; they may sell some thing they have bought as an old piece in complete ignorance of it's newness. But there is another point which might be emphasized.
 Antique" dealers purchase old furniture and fix it up. Often they get really old pieces at ridiculously low prices because the owners of them are ignorant of their true value. Peo- pie possessing 'old stuff,' even though it may seem of no value to them, should realize that it may be very valuable indeed. Rich people all over the country are on the lookout for old furniture or other old stuff. When a person offers to buy some thing really old the owner should in vestigate to see that he is not parting with something almost priceless.

A NEW DUTY FOR WOMEN

The general manager of the Massa- chusetts safety council suggests a new duty for women. He explains how the state of Massachusetts has held mass meetings, showing moving pictures, enlisted trained speakers and social workers and appealed to the press as well as issuing a manual for teachers--all aimed to prevent acci- dents to children in the streets. The gentleman says 1t is all in vain. There is only one way to cut down the num- Der of such accidents, for children have played in the streets even before there were streets. And as long as they play in the streets there will be shocking number of accidents.
 And so he now appeals to the wom- en of the world. The job must be put up to the women, all women, everywhere" he declares. Not only must women call their own and their neighbors' children out of the streets when they see them there, but they must call any child out of the street who happens to be playing there.
 The argument is good. If all wom- en took it upon themselves to watch out that children did not play in the streets there would be fewer accidents to children-and everyone longs for such decrease. But one fears that the learned general manager makes an as- that is not warranted by the present day facts. He seems to think

Baker Suggests Solution for European Tangle in Paper to Babson Institute . Comments on Russia.

Wellesley Hills, Mass, January 15 Hon. Newton D. Baker, who was | Secretary of War during the great
 world conflict, has today issued a
 statement through the Babson Insti- ute. Next to Woodrow Wilson, Mir. Baker is said to have the most inti-
 mate personal knowledge of the European war situation of any living
 man. This is his first public utterance
 on the subject since he retired March 1, 1921.
 War, as now carried on, cannot be
 much further continued" says MT.
 Baker, in answer to a question on the possibility of permanent peace.
 "The machinery of destruction has become so efficient and the economic consequences so terrible, that war can no longer be considered. or course, do not mean small wars, riots, petty squabbles between small states. When I say, War, I mean that there are five nations capable of making war These are Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan and the United States. These five nations alone can make war and the rest of the world can make war only as these five nations lend the others the support of their industrial and financial machinery. War today is an industrial proposition
 For these five nations, the choice is between peace and suicide. Their affairs are so inter-related that any disturbance in one has its effect on the others. The prosperity of all of them depends upon undisturbed com mercial relations. All the arguments of safety, profit and self interest drive these five nations toward peace. Eco homie as well as humanitarian forces are daily at work to present another great war.
 Cause of War.
 Now, why do great nations go to war? For just one thing: the safety and extension of the frontiers. With a few exceptions, that has been the cause of every great war in history. There are always outsiders, nibblinE l home, the great power is always seeking to push its frontier back just a little farther. It seems to put a lit- | tie greater distance between itself and | the covetous, unsuccessful beyond | the boundary. The way to get peace, then, is to guarantee the frontiers. l There is no other practical way. I, therefore, believe that some day, when we have forgotten some of the | partisan fury generated over the Yer sailles Treaty, we will undertake to guarantee National Boundaries by a League of Nations< either this league or some other-but along the lines of Article x.
 But is not this open to the ob- ection of certain republican sena- ors who honestly believe that bound try lines must of necessity change as nations grow or decline? These sena- ors said Article x is like guaran- eeing that a rich family will always property is dissipated and the grand-

children of the rich family of today
 will be working for somebody foi wages. Of course, the nations when
 they are inefficient must take the same chance and suffer the same fate. Why should we guarantee them the permanence of their present from tier? This is fair question and I will try to answer it frankly.
 T do not propose to, guarantee them 'permanence.' I am not sold on the present map of Europe. Per- haps too much emphasis was laid on the principle of nationality and too little on economic solidarity in it's making. It is bound to change But we do not want another war tG change it. My proposal is that, when it is changed, it shall be changed as a result of negotiation and award, and not by robbery or pillage.
 For that matter, we are guaran- teeing wealth to the rich, now. We are spending untold sums to prevent violence upon property rights. A peaceful changing of frontiers hurts nobody It is the violent method that costs and that goes to extremes. By negotiation we exchange with each other what true interest justifies, by violence men take all they can get"
 Russian Situation.
 MT. Baker was then asked his opinion regarding Russia and whether he felt Russia should be recognized Said he:
 So far as the recognition of Rus sia concerns only their form of gov ernment, I would recognize Russia in .wo seconds. If they want to pick put a perfect fool and make him king, that is no concern of mine. My ,nly hesitation about Russian recogni- ion concerns Russia's attitude toward oreign agreements. Whenever Rus ia will agree that any foreign un- that they enter upon will ,e honored and observed, then I am or recognizing Russia"
 Would you insist on their paying | he old czar's debts to France?" MT. | Baker was asked.
 "No," he replied, mo more than

CITY CONTRACTS.

Tn order 10 get work done for tn
 city it is necessary that some person
 or bodies have the power to make
 binding contracts. No one would s'
 10 work for the city, of course, unlesi
 he knew that the person who em'
 ployed him. or who made the con-
 tract with him. had the authority te
 do it. The common council, the de-
 partments. the school committee and
 the other agents Of the city have this
 power. Their contracts, lawfully
 made bind tho city.
 The power Of the common council
 in this matter Is given by Sec. 2, Chapter XIII of the charter, in the
 provision that one Of it's duties is "Providing for and prescribing the salaries, duties and fees of all off, cers and officials of said city and town except as herein otherwise pro- yided for ."
 oIit ol iHs tAttPNAcslo iNhN'iNN " above is mentioned in Sec. 6, Chapter XII Of the charter which says that the school committee make make, change amend or alter any rules, regulations or bylaws which they may deem necessary relative to the conduct and government of the schools, and to the duties, terms of office. mode of election. and compensation of all persons employed by said committee and it's officers" This gives the school committee power 10 fix salaries of school teachers.
 All estimates of income and ex- penditure of the city are to come be- fore the city meeting board which has the duty of laying the tax. The basic power of the common council in regard to laying tax is indicated, Incidentally, by the wording of Sec. 13, Chapter II of the charter which declares If said board tthe city meeting board) shall fail to take ac- ton and to lay any tax presented to it for action, as aforesaid then the tax as laid by the common council shall be legal and binding on the ratable estates of said city"
 The opinion of the corporation counsel, published in The Herald of Saturday, makes the situation plain. Any contract of the school board or any department or other authorized agent of the city, lawfully made and necessary for the performance of gov ernmental duties of the city, is bind | ing and may be recovered on in an | action at law.
 There is but one qualification of all the powers referred to. The state has taken upon itself the duty of guard ing all the people of all political divisions against expenditures by local authorities which are not necessary expenses. The state therefore, by statute, forbids the exceeding of ap- propriations by departments or agents of the city and makes members of boards exceeding appropriations and other agents personally liable for such acts if the excess is not for neces- sary expenses.
