Impartiality is enough to be anything. People listen A man says fact for instance, unthinking vor, expected who carelessly not common in anybody listen to a speaker, often; people who read, carelessly. They do not tak ly what is said or written; utterly to get the significance of modi- fications of previous statements. There {s so much loose talking or loose writ- ing that much is said and written| which carries an impression not tended by the author, and for this the loose speech or writing of the author is to hlame. The people have been | educated to read and hear this loose talk, and they often are in doubt as to just what is intended. Legal opinions do not have this fail- ing. A judge may write some words in an opinion which have nothing to do with the direct point at issue. The Jawyer examines these statements, If cessary to a decision or often read in exact- they fail | in- they were not ne of the case he disregards them except | as indicating the manner in which the | mind of the judge who wrote them works. Those statements are called “dicta,” and they are not “aw,'?, The 1y in written | only “law" contained a opinion are the statements W hich have to be made in order to decide the case. All other words might well be | eliminated from the opinion. It would be well if public speakers and writers were similarly judged; if| they would write with as great care as do those judges who, be it said for them, would not be guilty of writing jrrelevant statements if they did not know that such statements would be regarded as “dicta” merely. The Herald has opposed the expenditures of the school com- | mittee, for instance, to $300 unless ap- proval of the common council were first obtained. This newspaper feels that the work of the school committee would be handicapped beyond all rea- gon if its affairs were to be handled by the common council. But because this new: back of the school committee in this matter does not mean necessarily that| it stands back of the school COmm\"P(',; in ‘everything it does. Blind partisan-| ship, or blind support of any men, | restricting | aper stands measures or organizations is about as dangerous a characteristic as any per- gon or institution can possess. Support of unhampered hands on the school) committee does not necessitate shaking of those hands on every oc- casion. The school committee has| probably made mistakees in some ot | its purchases; it has probably made| unwise and perhaps unfair contracts; | there may be many practical ways in! which the affairs of the school com- | mittee might be improved. And this is the time to make that improvement | from within. THe people are burden- ed by taxation.

It maintained that the Turks should be allowed to give further considera- tion to the problems entailed in a Ottoman empire, but declared that the concessions granted by the former government had been distributed so promiscuously that to recognize them would impose a burden the new re- gime could not agree to bear.
