AN ADMISSION

There is point in connection with
the blocking of Main street by a
freight train of the New Haven road
that should be marked and remem-
bered not only by the authorities of
this city but also by the road itself.
The blocking of this crossing the
other evening created a positively
dangerous situation which might have
resulted in loss of life. Cars extended
down Main street for considerable
distance and up onto Commercial
street. The streets were rendered
useless for a time for the passage OF
any vehicle no matter how urgent the
business upon which it might be bent.
Quite properly Chief of Police Hart
communicated with the officials of the
railroad in an effort to prevent the
repetition of such action. The reply
given was that the blocking. of the
street was caused by the poor judy
ment on the part of an employe."
1t was quite natural for the road
to place the blame on the poor judy
ment Of an employe, of course. That
employe may have had to obey other
rules of the road which made it neces-
sary for him TO exercise what the Off
Gals called poor Judgment" The
blame should not be placed upon an
employe without qualification.
The point in the admission is that
the road. in explaining the cause of !
the blocking of Main street, did not /
assert that such bookings cannot he /
avoided. The road has now gone on +
record, practically, as saying that
there is no need of blocking the cross
ing and it has asserted that il will I
give active cooperation in taking
steps to avoid a repition Of similar
troubles.
The point is here noted as being a
practical assurance I'm the railroad
that there is no reason why this
crossing. at least. should be blocked.
II is a matter Of vital importance to
Csc people of the cjss, rather than one

Premier's Old Sweetheart
Witnesses His Triumph

Rome, Oct 19.-The commune of
Pradappio, where Premier Mussolini
was born, recently acquired the house
of his birth and gave it to him. He
was present at the ceremony, and the
people acclaimed him deliriously.
In the crowd was a woman still I'M
married who, years ago, said to Mus
solini as he wooed her with the i'm
petuosity of youth: I'VE are both as
poor as poor can be, and if we mar
ried we should only bring into the
world beings equally poor to suffer
and want. 1t is better that we agree
to part" by all means" replied
Mussolini, and went his way to be-
come prime minister.

TASTY ACTION

The matter OF the non-paymenl Of
tie architect whose plans were &C"
eented by the charity board for the
new building at the town home Is here
brought IN but for one purpose, That
purpose Is TO urge that no Injustice
shall follow the councils attempt TO
do something II had no right TO do.
The holding up OF the payment TO
the architect was proper. OF course.
The contract. upon which his claim
Is based. called for partial payment
only when the contracts for the build
ing OF the structure are executed. As
they have not been executed no action
of the council can make thecontraet
with the architect effective, and no
vote 10 make the partial payment ms
provided for IN thai contract would
make that payment proper. any more
alian the action OF tho council In
changing the name of the contractor
could compel the charity board to ac-
cept the alteration made by the coun-
ell.
But there does rest upon the charity
board moral obligation TO accept the
plans of the architect whose plans 1t
has once accepted. provided the bid
of some contractor is accepted which
bid comes within the figures as es-
timated by the architect.
The situation is this. The charity
board accepted plans and named the
contractor, the architect to be par
TALLY paid at the time and IL the con-
tract as recommended TO the common
council by the board were accepted. |
The last action of the council was to
disapprove the contract as presented
by the charity board. This leaves the
matter open. The charity board might
call for new bids; might accept the
Judgment of the common council or it
might press its advocacy of the con-
tracing concern formerly recommend
ed by it.
Whatever the charity board does,
there will remain that moral obiga-
ton to accept the plans of the archi-
tect whose plans were accepted as far
as possible while approval or disap-
prevail of the contract was. pending.
The architect who has satisfied the
charity board by his plans. and who
has received assurance of such salts
faction, should not suffer because of
the hasty and unconsidered action of
the council.
1t is quite probable that the charity
board realizes this obligation and has
no intention of changing its stand as
to the architects plans with the re-
suit of doing an injustice to him.

War Dead to Rest
In National Cemeteries

Paris, Oct. 19.--The French gov
eminent is beginning the vast under
taking of eXhuming its scattered war
dead and concentrating the bodies in
national cemeteries after the Amer
lean plan. 1t is far greater task
than the one the American Graves
Registration mission has completed.
In some sectors, suen as the Argonne
and around the Saint Mihiel salient
a great many were brought together
in military cemeteries, but elsewhere,
along the whole battle front, from
the Swiss frontier to the North Sea,
bodies of soldiers that we're killed in
the trenches were buried where they
fell.
Scattered German dead are also be-
ing gathered into large cemeteries by
the French, under an agreement with
tn German government. The Ger
man cemeteries that existed at the
end of the war are all being cared
for by the French authorities who
issue special permits to German fam
lies to visit the graves of their dead
in France.

THAT GREAT RACE

Tomorrow England's Derby winner,
Papyrus. will run against the three
year-old My Own. chosen as the best
horse Of that age today In this coun-
try II will be royal contest
in the general, not the specific sense
OF the adjective. II will be Americas
best against England's best. staged
in an atmosphere of true sportsman
ship into which the expression. May
the best man win," comes with SINGER
ity not with formal hypocrisy.
The record purse of 100000 for
which the race will be run does not
overshadow the artistic and senti
mental interest in the contest. The
commercialism of 1t sinks to nothing
in comparison with its significance as
a test of the American thoroughbred
against the thoroughbred of England.
throngs will see only fine battle Of
speed and courage between animals
possessing both to a marked degree.
But other multitudes will be moved
more deeply by the splendor of the
sight of two horses of long lineage
contending in an effort to establish the
supremacy of one land over another
in the field in which these representa-
tives are supreme.
All lovers of the horse are thrilled
by the thought Of this race, even
though living in community where
the perfect representative of the
American thoroughbred is rarely seen.
