THE TROLLEY DEFY.

The disagreement between the city | and the Connecticut company over the removal of an obnoxious track on Myrtle street was bound to ma- teriaIize. There are other abandon ed switches, tracks, poles andi wires in the city that likewise may result in controversy.
 The company, no longer using one of the tracks, appears to be of the ouinion that If it is to be torn up and one track placed in the center of the thoroughfare, the city should pay for the cost. The city, not be- ing in the street car business, wants this expense 10 be borne by the com- pany,
 The controversy should not be one for the Public Utilities Commission to decide, yet both sides threaten to "appeal" 10 this body. There are
 
 elements of law involved that one would think did not come under the category of the P. U. C's functions. At any rate. it is but another indi- cation of the trend of the times when a controversy over a track, which should be an entirely local matter, is given to a state bureau to decide. Ii Is to be hoped the city has as good 3 chance before this bureau as i would have in a court of law whicf might be of the opinion that thu streets are the property of the cit! and that it would be legal to enforce alterations in tracks for the publi welfare and interest.
 No matter who wins the case be fore the P. L. C.. however, the Con neeticut company will lose good vii It ought 10 be worth the company while to cultivate the good will e cities rather than permit itself [ set into 2 jam over changing a trael

PROTECTING CHILDREN.

 The parents of children attending the Nathan Hale school have done well to petition the mayor for po- lice protection in the vicinity of the school building as means of pro- tecting the lives of children from reckless autoists, The petition, how ever, should not have been necessary in that the city of it's own accord should have looked after such an important civic function.
 In calling the attention of the mayor to the fact that traffic Is d. ways heavy near the school, that "the speed law is almost continual ly violated" and that there is no traffic policeman even just before, during or just after school hours, | the parents emphasize an unpalat~ able truth that should sink into the city administration and the police commission.
 The police department has long been undermanned. The board of finance and taxation, with an eye to costs first and safety last, has re- fused to tender sufficient appro- priation to employ more policemen after Chief Hart and others had re- : peatedly made the request for more. The lack of police protection at the Nathan Hale school has been one of the results of this false economy; with sufficient policemen on the city roster there would have been no hesitancy in providing protection during school hours. as Is done near the Lincoln school, Now that the life of a child has been crushed out near public school property something probably will be done about it, espe- cially as the parents of children at- tending this school declare they will insist that protection to the chill dren be given.
 Two recent deaths as the results of fights m the fifth ward have been attributed, rightly or wrongly to the fact that there has not been suffi cient police protection in the ward , now. elsewhere, another fatality tha could have been avoided had ther been a policeman near the schoo often enough to prevent schoo property from being used by auto ists. Which is worth more to tn city the protection of life or tn saving" of few dollars incident t doing with the smallest possible DO lice force" <

The announcement that the United States will not take part in any European security pact was not sur prisng The unique feature of the discussion appeared to be that some European nations expected us 10 be interested.
 After tuiag to enter the League of Nations and still discussing ihe World Court, there was nothing to indicate that vv would take kindly 10 a European pact, even as "cus- todian Of the treaty" as Germany suggested.
 We are deeply interested in Europe, but not through treaties 0I pacts Our interest lies in having loaned money and wondering wheth. ar ii will ever return. That is inter est of a practical nature, ~hicf perhaps wlll not die until the las sou Is paid,

an education returns home q "ret radical" American education doesn1 work that way on most Americans Why has 1t 50 jazzy an effect or the Chinese?
 The correct answer is that It ism so. s-~~
 The facts are these:
 Treat 'em rough" is the atti' tnde of the typical foreign resident Of China toward the Chinese.
 Governmentally America hat been more considerate of China than any other country except, recently and doubtless for her own purposes, Russia. But the average individual American in China treats the Chinese much as they're treat ed by the rest of the foreign go; journers there harshly, arrogant ly, often even abusiyely. 10 the point of blows.
 The masses of the Chinese, peace able and patient far past virtues point, and too densely ignorant and uO hll Lp poooNSas N SpNl n DA spirit or so much as realize what they're being subjected to, accept all this as part of their days work and say nothing,
 But when an occidentally-trained young Chinaman returns 10 his na- tive land. with western ideas bred into his mind and much of his racial meekness bred out of 1t. 1t angers him to see his countrymen knocked about without resenting it. T wouldn't stand that" he advises. Hes a Bosheyik," exclaims every foreigner within hearing, They hon. estly think so, too, and that's the way the news is sent back home.
 That Russia seeks 10 win the Chi- nose to herself by arousing antag- onism among them against the rest of the world probably Is true, The worst of 1t Is that the rest of the worlds behavior toward China has been such as to make this pretty : easy to do.

 MeSsrs. Kellogg and Gales have Just got through addressing them- selves to the press and the score Is about b0.5O, Ad,iees today from Washington are to the effect that the controversy was unofficial" and probably will be dropped. Hot pokers are uncomfortable, even to govern ment officials,

 Until Secretary of State Kellogg announced his warning" the Ameri- can public was under the impress sion that everything WAS well south Of the Rio Grande. It appears, how ever, that American property in the republic has not been treated with due consideration. The American government expects the Mexican government to restore properties taken over illegally or to indemnify American citizens.

 < New Britain, Conn.
 Dear Sir: .#t
 Your paper of May 20 contained an article entitled Much Meat Causes Gout." The article refers to the work of Danish physician, Hindhede, who believes in . low- protein and non-hesh diet. Over eating of meat Is blamed as cause of gout.
 In reply may we call your read ers' attention to the teachings ol other physicians more experienced with gout. pr. Llewellyn Of Bath, England, where gout has been treat cd for several hundred years, writes that gout is the nemesis of high liv- ing but that attempts to throw all the blame on any particular tcou- stuffs, e. g.. red meats, etc.. on the ground that these highly nitrogenous substances engender excessive for- nation of uric acid. have failed of their object"
 He and many other scientihc physicians state that the uric acid bug bear dies hard but that 1t has lost its power to fool the good mod ern physician. The older theories were based upon the belief that the human body could not destroy uric acid and that during gout or rheu- matism or arthritis the uric acid was not all eliminated and so was deposited in the joints, muscles or other parts of the body. It has re- gently been proven by Dr. Folln and his collaborators that we do de- stroy uric acid in our bodies ana that some reason other than its an- clusion in our food musts be gwen for gout and rheumatism that some people fall heir to.
 May we have space in your paper for our letter?
