President Harding, in announcing this admin
istraton policy, was not anticipating popular de-
mand so much answering it. The truth is that
the American people have within the last three
years adopted nineteen national parks as
part Of their conception of the greatness of their
nation. Hands off !" applies to the national
parks well to Old Glory. They eager
to defend them and to keep them inviolate. And
they have developed organized strength through
the affiliation Of dozen so nationwide organ
izations to that congress shall legislate wisely
concerning the national parks. The announce
ment of the conservation policy was received with
nationwide delight. The national park enthusi-s
asts hoped that the conservation policy would be
broadened to uphold Secretary Lanes important
plank

During the latter years Of his life,
Frank James, brother of Jesse James,
did his utmost to avoid disputes that

any day lettering in the lobby of the
Laclede hotel, st. Louis, which was
a gathering place of Missouri politi-
clans before they moved over to the
old Planters hotel.
One day Frank James was engaged
in conversation by bibuIous loud
talking stranger. The man INDUCED in
a TRADE against Missouri, mentioning
the flames boys as samples Of her
citizenship. When the stranger con-
cluded an ominous silence fell over the

Ii was pointed out that trouble had arisen in the past from private ownership of property in the streets, and that trouble might arise in the future; that the city de- rived q certain income from it's sub ways. owned by it. The police board and the fire board make use of the subways and from those departments there is an income not to mention other advantages previously noted.
 Chairman Hall of the board of finance and taxation has shown his appreciation of this phase of the mat ter by attending meetings where it was discussed. His views on the sub iect should be considered of great inn portance before the common coun- cil makes any decision. The Herald does not take upon itself the author ity to oppose or to favor the plan. The Herald does urge, however, that the fullest investigation be made be- fore a change from the city's present policy of owning its subways be made, and that more than casual attention be given this matter and data sought from those informed of the facts.

i they know. through present experi- ence, of the thoughts which inspire the protests of labor
 It is quite possible that these stu dents al this agricultural college may
 remember this week of manual labor
 in after years when they become, as
 many of them will, employers of
 labor. The experience of this week may make them remember the real with manual labor. Because of that short week they may be more consid- crate. more understanding of the men who labor with their hands. They may be able, years from now, to get the workers viewpoint because they remember. But it is far more likely that as the years pass they will for get those unpleasant features of the working week and remember only the pretty co-eds who served them coffee, the playing of the band. and the fun of it all" They will be apt to boast of having done a weeks hard labor--they may consider that they know all about it" But were this week to be extended over a period of year those men would know: they would get that understanding so necessary to just comprehension of what labor is and the attitude toward life it inspires. That would be worth while.
 When understanding such as this comes to everyone who employs labor one social problem will be in a fair way toward solution. The pity of the situation is that it is practically inn possible for labor to learn, by prac- tical experience. the viewpoint of capital. It is for this reason that the latter should go more than half way in meeting any tendency of labor in the direction of reason.

Use of Park for Football. Editor New Britain Herald.
 New Britain. Conn. Dear Sir.
 A question being asked by hundreds of people since the so-called All-Ncw Britain football team played at South End park on Sunday last and charged si0O per head admission, is:
 How much or what percentage was paid to the city for the use of this park %
 IT no rate has been fixed or charged for this park what right had they to charge any admission?
 Also, why should any individual or group be allowed 10 sell tags or tick cts for admission to witness any affair on our local parks, particularly where the city or charity gets no financial returns and only a few individuals put all in their pockets.

There is one matter that will come before the common council which raises question involving the neces- sity for serious consideration. That is the advisability Of allowing snb- ways to be owned by any organiza- ton other than the city. When this question presents itself there should be no formal adoption of it. without thorough comprehension Of it. The board Of public works has voted 10 recommend to the common council that the construction of such a sub- way by the telephone company be authorized Without any question tbe board of public works believes that its recommendation is for the hest interests of the city. Were the board of public works the only board to be interested. then it's recommendation should be considered as the best evi- dence obtainabIe that t would beneht fine city. From its point Of view, and as affecting the matters in its charge. the board is probably quite right and possessed of more information on the subject than IS the common council And quite possibly from ali points Of view fl would be a wise course for the city to follow.
