THE FINANCE BOARD AND COUNCIL

The objection of the Board of Finance and Taxation 10 being sort of referring body" from the Common Council, appears to be well taken. The system of which the Finance Board complains is one of passing the buck. The Council should attempt 10 stand on its own feet and not attempt buck passing The Finance Board exists for 8 stipulated purpose and not as a pseudo-committee of the Council. When the Finance Board evolved plan by which the city could em- ploy five additional policemen 1t was actuated by the manifest needs Of. the city and the repeated i'm for more men, The Common Coun- cil after being shown a way to oh- tain the necessary funds, bared it's own insincerity in the matter by appointing only one policeman, in the fifth ward. Previous to that if was thought that the city would gladly provide additional patrol men if it had the money 10 employ them. When it got the money 1t didn't appoint the cops,
 Either the city didn't need the additional policemen and officials who claimed il did were in the wrong; or the city needed the po- , licemen and the Council in rcfus- ing 10 appoint them after it got the money was in tho wrong So far as the Finance Board was cOn- cernod, if dtI ifs duty and naturally had right 10 expect others also 10 do their duty.

YOUNG LA TOILETTE AND HIS VICTORY

Young Bob LaFollettc, scion Of the late lamented third party lead CT, apparently made a clean sweep of the field in Wisconsin and now is the candidate for the Y. s, Sen ate on the Republican ticket. The Republican party of course, did all in it's power 10 prevent this lnSur- gent from gaining the prestige of running on its ticket but even the last minute effort of c h i r m n William Butler of the National committee availed nothing.
 The fact appears to be that in Wisconsin the name of LaFollette carries with it a certain amount of prestige that cant be thrown into Lake Huron as yet, Young LaFol- lette, of course, is not yet elected to the Senate. He will have 10 beat the independent candidate, Roy r. Wilcox. who in the primary had also run on the Republican ticket. It will be a spirited campaign.

RELY ON BINGHAM TO SIT PRETTY

The editor of the New Haven Union has called upon Senator Hiram Bingham to resign from the Presidents aircraft investigation committee on tn e score that the mind of the Connecticut senator is prciudiced against the claims of Colonel Mitchell and that he can not enter upon the duties of the committoe with an open mind.
 q" pon any equitable method
 of selecting jurors he tBinG-
 ham) would he excused by any
 court in the land" remarks the Union. We do not believe
 that the President has deliher-
 ately packed this jury against Colonel Mitchell. Senator Bing~
 hams presence upon #, how
 rvor, does not inspire us with
 the requisite confidence that II
 has been created in order to
 give Colonel Mitchell a square
 deal Tn the interest of public
 ronflence in it's findings, Sena-
 tor Bingham should resign
 from the aircraft board. He
 has already weighed Mitchell
 m the balance and found him
 wanting He has already con-
 ,lcmned Mitchell and rerudi-
 ated his charges. He has no
 more right to sit on a jury to
 try tho Mitchell charges than
 Nr. Bryan should have sat on
 iho jury at Dayton 10 try
 Scopes. H. should resign"
 In spite of what th" New Haven editor demands, however. we don expect 10 sec Senator Bingham re. sign from the investigating board 1T there arc any other "prcjudiced individuals like the senator on inc board, however it is llke1y that Congress will not pay much atton' ton 10 its findings,

ZONING IN NEW BRITAIN

THE FUN SHOP COURSE IN SHORT STORY WRITING Conducted by Prof. l. C. Itt)
 InsS0n III

In our last lesson we left our hero and heroine in the lake, clinsing 10 the iceberg. It will now be neces- sary to thickcn the plot by bringing in more exciting situations. Never allow tho readers interest to flag:
 "Saved!" murmurcd Helene, sitting herself gracefully upon the edge of tho iceberg.
 Harold lit a cigarette. and being thirsty, drank in every detail of her slim young body. He bent his head, which was already badly dcnted, and kissed her dainty fingers, But is he did so, he saw something that widoncd his already wide eyes to their full width.
 "The iceberg is melting!" he eroancd. holding his pallid face at arms length that she might not see the horror in his eyes.
 "Can you swim" gasped Helene, pushing him into the water.
 When he rose to the surface for the last time, Harold nodded, and struck out boldIy-iust as he used to do on tPo college baseball team,
 3ut to tomplicate the plot, the girl cannot swim. and our hero must make a thrilling rescue.
 Save mel" screamed Helene. Looking back, Harold saw her peril. He kicked off his shoes, for his feet were paininE him, and tossed aside his cigarettes. Hc gulped norvously and swallowed a quart of water.
 You have saved mel" she cried, throwing herself into his strong arms,
 They are not vet out of danger, for a Mexican climbs through a tr7p-door in the iceberg, three re- yolvors and shotgun in his hands.
 "Ho is ono of La Beana's gang" warned tho girl, as she reached in her vanity case for her pearl handled mirror. She powdered her nose while Harold pulled rife from his nockot and fired The swarthv member Of La Roanas gang threw m his hands. and without waiting for them to come down, fell on the fast melting ,icnherg and hrcathed one of his last hreaths.

TOUCHING MEMORIAL
 TO HARDING

The unveiling of a statue at Van couver, British Columbia, in honor Of the late President Harding, was particularly splendid compliment 10 the memory of the late Presl- dent, who while en route to Alaska, made a memorable address in that city. The address of Senator Willis of Ohio during the unveiling cere- monies was a touching tribute 10 the amty existing between the two largest North American nations.
 Senator Willis address was par ticularly noteworthy in what it forecasted regarding the action of the U. s. Senate regarding entrance into the World Court this year. The Ohio senator declared in a manner suggesting absolute conviction - and we suppose he has basis for the conviction - that the Senate foreign relations committee will vote to enter the World Court un- der the plan that has been favored by President Harding, Secretary of State Hughes and President Coo- lidge, and that h Q Senate by a substantial majority will ratify such action. Senator Borah. chair man of the Senate foreign relations committee, still strongly opposes any such action, but the Ohio sena- tor gives the impression that Borah's colleagues will override the Borah attitude.
