-The
Entente
repara-
tions
commission
including Mr. Boyden
the
unofficial
member
for
the
United
States,
will leave for Berlin on
Tuesday.
The commission
will remain
in
the Ger-
man €apital,
two
or
three
weeks
to in-
vestigate
measures
by
which
Germany
may procure
the
necessary
funds
to get
the payment
of 500,000,000
gold
marks
due to the Allies on January
Ist 1922.
It
will also
investigate
the
causes
for the
recent
depreciation
in
value of the
Ger-
man
mark.
The Right of the Highway.
It is a well known
principle of English
Common
Law,
that
everyone
of
the
King’s
subjects
has
a
right
to
use
the
highways
without molestation.
No
per-
son
or number
of persons
have the
right
to
block
or
obstruct
the
road
to
the
annoyance
or inconvenience
of
any
one.
Even the King’s trocps when
on the march
dress
to a flank
so
as
to
make
10om
for
passengers
on
the off side.
These
well
known
precepts,
however,
seem
to be
becoming
greatly ignored
in this
island
now-adays,
and
-members
of the
various
Friendly
Societies
appear—from
one
or
two recent
observations—to
take the ildea
into
their heads
that
when
they are
on
parade
or
demonstration
of
any
sort,
everything
and
every
person—vehicles
of
any and
every
sort—must
give wav
and
wait until their parade
has
passed.
Only
a few days ago
we
saw
a case
in
point.
There
was a funer=l of a respect-
ed
old citizen
which
took
place
at
the
St.
John’s Cemetery.
There
was another
of
a
member
of
one
nf
the
Friendly
Societies;
we believe it was
an
organiza-
tion
known
as ‘‘The Trade and
Labour
Union’’ also.
After the obsequies
of both
parties
had taken place
the
members
of
the
Society in order
to
arrange
a
march
back
to
their
lodgeroom
assembled
in
the
road and
the
officers,
of
the
lodge
actually
prevented
several
persons
sag
vehicles
from
passing
until
they
had
passed
down to
the second
cross
street.
One
of
these
people
actually
held
the
head
of the horse attached
to a buggy
in
which
a lady was seated
and
demanded
that
she
wait
until
the
procession
had
reached
down
St.
John’s
Street
and
turned off there.
We
know
it
is
quite
admissible
for
roads
to be
cut off from
traffic for
re-
pairs,
or by Police authority
when
there
is
a
special
function
so
as
to
prevent
a
blocking
up; but
we know
of no
law
which
allows Friendly
Societies
to
block
traffic during their parades.
Now
we beg to call the
special
atten-
tion
of
the
Police
Authorities
to
this
matter,
so that they may
take
the
neces-
sary steps
to prevent what
may probably
lead to a
sericus
disturbance
some
day.
These
Society folks should
be taught that
their proper
marching
order
should
be
such
as not
to oceupy but
one half of the
street
or road,
so
as not
to obstruct
traf-
fie.
If what happened
to that lady
had
happened
toa
strong
man,
they would,
no
doubt,
have
been
some
horse
whip-
ping,
which,
of course,
would
have
led
to
something
greater.—The
Sun,
Now.
