It 1s astonishing indeed that ¥rench are blaming the Americans for the tragic mishap. We are charged with sending out wrong weather reports—which may be news to the weather bureau. We stand charged with sending out a false report that the flyers had ar- | rived—but strange to say, only in I'rance were such false reports pub- lished. The allegedly false ports seem to be the main source of {rritatien. No one in his senses would ‘belleve that the weather bureau would purposely send out a | wrong report; that it malkes mis- takes occasionally, however, there can be no doubt. If the terrific | storm in the north Atlantic was not foreseen by the burcau that does not mean it tried to decelve anyone. In the inflamed condition of the Freneh mind, however, one can easily surmise that such an explana- tiop will not suffice. The speed with which American ships began comb- ing the north Atlantic after the fly- ers became overdue no doubt helped to assaugo the French emotions; but Ambassador Herrick in Paris has advised that no Americans at- tempt the flight to Paris at this time despite the $25,000 prize offer- er by Raymond Ortelg for such a flight which is still dangling before the eyes of the adventurous. The intrepid alrmen, however, do not seem inclined to take the ad- vice of the ambassador. Should any of the competing American flyers reach Paris the good sports- weather re- manship of the French people will | do him full honor despite the keen | disappointment regarding their own fiyers. When the German baker swam the Channel from England to Griz-Nez_last summer didn't the mayor and the town's population turn out in a huge celebration? Showing that national or ractal lines do not long maintain themselves in the French mind where sporting ex- ploits are concerned. If an Amer- ican fiyer came within sight of the Elffel tower after a trip across the Atlantic the Frenchmen would for- get all their past or present griev- | ances and yield what might be classified as a resounding welcome. The French disposition may be peculiar in some respects, but there | is no denying its admiration for { who have contributed to its funds | bination of disaster could scarcely a genulne exploit.

But ““l but in order to head off any ul- stead of every citizen knowing horses pulling the fire trucks by their names, we know nothing at all about the present modernized equip- ment. We don't take the same inter- est since the horse flesh is no long- er a part of the department. When the fire trucks sizzle along— usu- ally headed toward Berlin, where most of the fires seem to oacur— we give a side glance and keep right on our way. The automobilcs in the way scurry to the side of the right ot way—and sometimes, when the red lights are not against them they can beat the fire trucks to the rail- road crossing. There is no human interest left in the modern fire de- partments, It meant something to be able to stroll into a fire station | and pat the assembled horses on the heads, stroke their manes, and talk to them, st as if they under- stood.

A Then there is the condition of the average man, Senator Walsh seems to be one of those peculiar individuals who think the welfare of the average citizens is of some moment. He wears dark glasses when looking thelr way. Prosperity that doesn't circulate everywhere apparently doesn’t appeal to him very much. Conditions around Bos- ton, Fall River, New Bedford, Law- rence and other industrial centers up that way apparently ald the senator in his scheme of debunking things, Perhaps he does the popula- } tion some good by acting as a foil to the boosters. Most men can come to a better understanding of an is- sue when they hear both sides. Senator Walsh is a lone voice in the wilderness just now. Perhaps his frequent lamentations do not strike an ultra-popular chord, either; yet he has the courage of convie- tions, says what he thir going to be bamboozied if he can help it. And that's something. up. be WATCHIN The new state board gf control and finance, with Senator Edward 1 Hall at the helm, made a good | beginning by calling the attention of the Standard Oil Co. of New York to the fact that it owes the state $23,000 for taxes on gasoline used in the state by the company's ve- hicles. There s no justice in the company's position that in using its own gasollne It is not seclling it and therefore is not amenable to the state gasoline tax law. There was no intention at the time the gasoline private vehicles, even those operated by oil companies; and so far as we are aware the Standard is the only one of the various oil companies to attempt this constructfon of the law, “FREE THINK ND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS The “Free Thinkers' Society” of New York has waged a steadily losing battle against plan to permit religious training of public school children during school hours at churches selected by the parents —the same system that works satis- fa, - in New Britain. As there is nothing compulsory about such training, and as the par- ents of the children designate which church schools are to be attended— usually for a short fied week day—it s difficult to un- stand why the alled “F Thinkers' Soclety” can object. It"is the business of the parents, not of the society. The idea thdt parents have no rights regarding the instruction to be imparted to their children cccurs to nobody but the membership of such a society, which in the last analysis is based upon a species of time on a specl- s0- intolerance of all religion, The system of allowing religious training in the church schools for a short period weekly does mot materially interfere with public hool instruction. It does not link up the public schools with religious activities, and it does not link up churches with the public schools, Public school attendance the supple- tary religious fnstruction is not mandatory.
