The brick pavement will attention next year. And the proper attention to give it is the kind given last year to the brick surface | from High street to the park en- | trance. The asphalt surface placed on top of the brick last year was in the nature of an experiment; and from all appearances, it has been entirely successful. The. same treatment be | given to the remaiming briok pave- ment along West Main street.

Now Spain, her itch for im- revived following adventure, perialistic power | the Moroccan wants the whole works. Small wonder that Great Britain and France strongly oppose any such idea. Tangier is too close to Gibraltar for an ambitious power to have control; and as for France, it was she and not Spain made possible the elimination of Krim after several years' warfare. At bottom, however, the demand of Spain camouflage for bargaining purposes at the coming meeting of the League of Nations is mere at Geneva. Spain wants a perma- nent seat in the Council, was identified with the upset nection with denying such a seat to Germany at the last gathering, and is primed for more trouble at the coming session. It can be set down as a certain- ty that regardless of the amount neither Britaln nor France will permit her to get control of that port.
