 Bremen Have Hard Luck
 The Plainville firemen had sue cession of tough breaks at New Lon don over the weekend and failed to win any prizes in the contests there. The worst break came in the sprint races, when Raymond Cas- sidy, star splinter of the locals, lost through interference of the crowd. He was only % feet from the finish line and would in all probability have won first place, when sudden ly the crowd surged onto the track and one man stepped in front Of Cassidy, who was thrown to the ground and injured his knees.
 The loss Of this fast man handi- capped and discouraged the com pany in the hose-laying contest and here again the Plainvile ment went without a place. They made their presence felt. however, by their good showing in defeat and returied home undaunted and awaiting \another chance

The program ut present mapped out for the at

tious and complete agenda that any French cabinet
has attacked in many years. 1t represents course.
which, if followed, is bound to bring order out Of
chaos in the French republic. Behind it all is the
alert, aggressive, dynamic force Of peaceful die

The program which tho government leaders arc

Editorial Comment
Public Hospitals
lC% po,,l nai1v NnwSl

Pres L. D.. Coffman of the University OF Min
ncsota is of course right in stating that without
patients the university hospital can not properly
function. ~
But his approval Of the plan which permits doc
tors to charge fees for the Of patients at that
institution is another matter.
Inasmuch as the university hospital is state
institution and therefore largely supported by pub
lie funds it can reasonably be argued that charge
should be made of patients accommodated there.
The minute attempt is made to operate the
systems Of pay and free patients at public hospitals
there arise complaints of discrimination which,
whether justified or not, cause lack of public con-
fidence.
Authorities at the Ancker hospital have found
this to be and would prefer it if pay patients
Of any kind were admitted
The persons who can afford to pay should 60 to
the private hospitals while those who can not af-
ford it should be accommodated at the public inst
tutions supported from the public purse.
There always will be plenty Of both kinds Of pa.
ticnts to keep both kinds Of hospitals busy.

"Sixtecn-tO-0nc" Again

-. the most popular suggestion being that tho
value Of silver be fixed by law-l6 ounces Of svc,
to equal one ounce Of gold.'
Gosh! Hasn't that familiar ring?
: The quotation is from remark by Secretary M.
n. Tomblin Of the western division Of the American
Mining Congress, in advance account of the an
nnal meeting ct the American Silver Producers as
scciation, to be held in Denver Sept. 1924
Silver mining costs, it appears, as high as ever
they were. but silver prices the down grade.
"What can be done for silver" will be the key
TeDte for discussion at the Denver meeting. And
the most popular suggestion" as an answer, ac-
eprding to Tomblin, is silver at "16-to-1."
Who would have expected, in this day and genera
tieH,rto have that proposition pop up again!
OF course law can be passed making l6 ounces
of SILVER equal an ounce of gold. But what then
Is there anybody dotty enough not to realize that
II would be b0otlegged!
But "some producers point cut that silver has only
two nses-n the arts and as subsidiary coinage"
So their scheme Is to start world wide campaign
p popularxe silver utensils anil ornaments and other
hncknacks and the substitution Of silver coins for
paper small change--some countries use paper for
very small change indeed.
That proposal sounds more as If it might work.
