It must Inquire into “alf conditions relating to ln!flr,! streets, transportation and frallmi facllities, trolley lines, parks, housing plans and other kindred matters; also as to the direction and character of the city’'s probable future development and growth, as to the territory and population, and industrially and to prepare and recommend to the com- mon council a city plan or plans cov- ering the above subjects . . . " Bo the city plan commission has & ot to do, you see—with no power to make its desds effective, And the common ecouncil’s treat- ment of the eity plan commission is provided for, too. “The common council shall refer @ sald plan com- mission all questions concerning the .location of any public building, street, highway, park, square or other mat- ter within the purview of this act for consideration of said commission and for report hefore final action is taken thereon and said city plan commission ghall seasonably report the same back “to the common council with its rec- omendations concerning the same and thereupon the common council may take action in the premesis."” So the common council has to refer these matters to the city plan com- mission and the common council can not act until the commission has re- ported. Well the commission can't act ‘on something not bhefore it. Now a “stirring up” of the city plan commission is desired. How about a “stirring up” of the common council. The city plan commission has practically no power-—certainly Httle power until some matter is re- ferred to it from the common council. There may have been some matters referred to it by sald august body, but few of them are remembered. It would be interesting to find out just when the city plan commission was glven authority to &recommend any- thing about a majority of the public buildings here. . It is well to call for action in this {mportant matter such as the future growth of the city, the location of its public buildings and its parks, but commissions or people are not in- clined to act when they have no practical power ahd when they are practically ignored by the common council. | Britain THE SWIMMING POOL. Now comes some talk about the proposed swimming pool that seems possible of producing results satis- factory to most people. This news? paper has commented in the past on | the joys the smaller children find in the wading pool on Walnut Hill park. We urged that arrangements be made | for places where the young mws‘ could prepare for their dip, and tents In the beautiful fu- were provided. | commissioners | ture, when the park have a lot of money, a pretty pavilion i8 planned which will not mar thf-} beauty of the spot but which will provide a permanent place for this purpose. Now it is proposed to deepen the pool in one part so that it will be a real swimming pool, leaving part of it safe for the smallest children. This plan strikes one one matter is kept in mind in making any change in the pool at the top of Wal- nut Hill park. That pool has furnish- ed pleasure for hundreds of little children each summer. Absolutely nothing should be done to take that pleasure from the children who are! emall. The older ones should not be allowed to usurp the pool—as they! would do if given a chance, The pool should still remain a place where the tiny ones can wade safely, and where the aged sister of ten years may take Iittle brother of five into the wa'nrj under her protecting arm. If the pool ©an be deepened in one portion to give older children a real swimming pool without taking anything from the lsttie ones whose pet spot it is, let that as feasible if lunul:l flock to whatever | driving the golf ball from the | bunkers there. emp b ik ade 0 they should be punished.

Men slong the street there would be who ery out that the Master of the vessel should have fought to protect our ships' stores, The demagogues would rise "up and denounce the Mas- ter, John Smith, for calmly submitting to such interferénce with the ship's stores of the United States. And many standards bore, denouncing England’s action. They would be wrong, of course, The United States authorities, under the decision of our courts, had no other course left open to them-—as long as the Volstead law exists and as long as there stands a decision interpreting it as such deci- slon has done, But even the calm, wise men of this country shake their heads and feel the danger of the situation. Deep in their hearts—the hearts of the truly thoughtful-—there is the conviction that, while there was nothing for the authorities to do but to obey the law, and that while there will probably come no attempt at retaliation by England at this moment, nevertheless it is inevitable that a dislike would spring up between officlal England and this country if this country did not, at the first opportunity, so alter the Volstead law that it would not compel the breaking of the Customs seals of andther nation. Former Premier of England, Lloyd George, has commented on the event of the breaking of the British seals and, speaking as one who sympathizes with the experiment this country is making with prohibition, advises calmness in the land across the water. He pleads that the United States, in its predicament, be given a chance. That the people of England should not get excited over the act. We again emphasize the fact that the United States authorities were justified by our law, the Volstead act, in doing as they did. It was their duty. But all over this country people will say, reading the protest flled by the British shipmaster, “I don't blame him for protesting.” The more im- petuous will shout: “I'd llke to see them try doing anything like that to America.” The feeling in this country, whether for the World Court plan or not— whether for the League of Nations plan or not—is that the United States should do everything it can, without endangering our own independence, to aid in establishing peace, good will in the world. Breaking the seals of foreign governments inspires any- thing but peace, good will. The act, under our law was justified—there was no alternative. Is the law which requires such an act justified? except latter for | Jime the Dritish hrnlil sueh demagogues SAND-LOT GOLF The eminent authority Walter Camp has written of the advantages of gnlr‘ for all the people; that it must be | made less expensive so that people of moderate means will be able to afford it, and he has shown ways in which this may be done.
