Jones acted yisely in re- sting President Wilson to with- iw his name as a nominee for a ce on the federal reserve board be- se he could not be confirmed with- the president, or '~ some other cratic leader, cracking the party ip, and even then it is doubtful of hfirmation could be obtained. I'he objection to Mr. Jones was not onal in the sense that he is not ed for the place, or that there is flaw in his character, but because i connected with a corporation which the government is having uble on account of its alleged viola- n of the anti-trust act. The matter been discussed more unfavorably n otherwise and it must be ad- itted that it is not without cause. jr. Jones, if confirmed, would un- ubtedly make a good member of important board, but his selection s an unhappy one to say the least. The incident may now be con- dered closed and later on the presi- pnt will be gratified that Mr. Jones ted as he did, thereby relieving him om much embarrassment politically id otherwise. FREIGHT CARS ON TROLLEY { LINES. There is one feature of the trolley freck at Westport which ought to est every person in’ the state nd that is that the trolley lines were ever intended to be used for carrying ight. All can remember that when e right to run a trolley line from re to Hartford was sought the claim made that the idea was to ac- ommodate people who wanted to be icked up at their doors and carried o ‘their destination without being. mgelled to travel an unknown dis- r.ce to a railway station and then sing dropped off a long distance from ere they really intended to go. No nention was made of carrying freight hnd it there had been there is faraly any doubt but that the op- josition would have been very strong. his. case is cited only as an illustras fion, for undoubtedly the same thing fhias happened wherever a branch or through line has been built. “If there had been no freight or ex- ess cars on the line in question there 1d not have been any trolley there would have been no lives dnd there would have been no injured. It is true that the claim made that the passenger cars were in at such a rate of speed in order [to make the switch before the express car reached there that they would lprobably have been derailed if there 1ad been no collision, but it should be membered that this is merely specu- tion. No one can tell what might have happened, but if there had been [no express car coming the passenger cars would not have been run so fast ‘arid there would have been no derail- iment and no collision. Of course no one will excise the crew Hfor running the cars as they aid, |because they should have waited, P‘i: the fact that they met an press car proves conclusively that guch cars should never have been | permitted on trolley lines designed soley for passengers and would not have been if the members of the | jegislature had been on to their job fwhen the charters were being granted. THAT DISSOLUTION SUIT. It is very evident that the directors of the New Haven road could not agree to the terms of dissolution de- manded by the government and' for that reason it is just as well that the _matter should be settled by the courts. The suit has been in the works, iIn “gome form, for along time; it has oc- cupied a great deal of space in the public’ prints and rightfully or wrong- fully the directors have given the im- ‘pression that they wanted to fight. They dre now to be given the oppor- funity. “There is hardly any doubt but that New Haven system will be run er and more successfully when it is° cut down to Just railroading and _mot tied up with other systems, in- ding trolleys and steamship lines. e, great mistake was made Wwhen Mmflu reached out for busi- {other than that which it was best pped to transact. THe manage- ‘qm wanted to control mrythlnu in of the country and was in a fair way to accomplish its ends when J.. Pier- pont Morgan died; then the real head of the movement was gone and the financial stream ceased at its source. The corporation became too big, too cumbersome to manage, and it-had to be cut. up in order to render it capable of successful management. It does not seem to be a fair prop- osition, to order dissolution at a time when thé road needs money and when the dissolution cannot beg brought about except at a financial loss, but it must be remembered that the combination was unlawful in the first place and there is where the real mistake was made. It will be an ex- pensive suit, but the courts offered the only way out of the difficulty. BOSS SUES BOSS. The political situation in New York has reached the point when some of the principal figures have begun suits for damages. Colonel Roosevelt has been referring to William Barnes as ““Boss” Barnes and has been so em- bellishing his remarks about the said boss &s to arouse that gentleman's ire and cause him to bring a suit for libel against the colorel for $50,000. The colonel has certainly been a bit harsh in his references to Mr. Barnes, with whom in the past he has been closely associated in politics and with whom he has been on the most inti- mate terms of friendship; but when ‘William refused to march under the progressive banner the colonel with- drew his admiration, The situation has been becoming somewhat tense of late and it seemed as if the discus- sion could not continue much longer without something breaking. Ordi- nary speech had ceased to supply the means for a satisfactory expression of the feelings of the colonel; he felt it necessary to go to extremes, and in doing so Mr, Barnes says he went too far. The colonel, however, says that he never made any statements that he cannot make good, so there you are, The case is in court and it ought to be tried before the fall primaries, so that the people may know whom it is best to follow in the campaign. The suit is really a pre-primary af- fair and ought to be settled before there is any Voting done. It may be remarked that Charléy Murphy has also been excoriated by the colonel, but he is not going to sue him for it. Charley seems to have a hide like a rhinoceros, or if not he regards the whole thing as a bit of politics, a pastime he engages In at regular in- tervals, and is satisfiéd to see. the leader of the progressives and the leader of the republicans going to law as to who is boss. The colonel seems to have fully recovered from the jungle fever. THE JUDGE KNEW, There is nothing more exasperating to the cabman or even the teamster on a truck than to have a balky horse. Various remedies have been tried to cure the animal of this habit or even to induce him to move to a less public spot than where he chooses to stop, but to no avail. His tail has been twisted, he has been beaten and cases have been known where a fire was started under him, causing him simply to move aside from the flames but never to go for- ward. Two men had such a horse in Philadelphia the other day and after resorting to every scheme known or heard of with no profitable results, an electric battery was obtained and dpplied for the purpose of starting him up. The horse kicked and made violent efforts to leap out of the harness but refused to draw the ve- hicle attached to him. A good and pious citizen saw the struggles of the animal and had the two men in charge arrested for cruelty. The judge, however, who once owned a balky horse, discharged the accused, saying that they had not acted cruel- ly. He evidently knew. To be in charge of a horse when it balks is enough to try any man’s patience and if the cessation from ef- fort occurs on a well traveled public street he is apt to injure his chances of salvation. He will receive sug- gestions from the mixed audience that is bound to gather and Wwhile they are valueless for the purpose of inducing the animal to resume work they are very annoying and usually funny. To arrest a man for endeavor- ing to make a balky horse travel is an insult and positively humiliating. It is the horse that is at fault. The Phila- delphia judge had been there and he was able to render a just and sensible decision. He couldn't, however, start the horse. If Col. Roosevelt can force the re- publicans of New York to nominate Senator Hinman for governor, a man they do not want, and set aside Whit- man, the man they do want, by the threat that he and his progressives will support Hinman and oppose Whitman, then the republicans had better surrender all hope of ever be- ing able to prevent his regaining con- trol of that party and fusing it with the progreesives. But we don’t be- lieve he can do it.—Waterbury Amer- . 2 NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 24, McMILLAN’S.

FACTS AND FANCIES. Padlocks on churches is the latest wrinkle. That would be all right if they could only get the right people inside before they slipped on the padlocks.—New Haven Journal- Courter. Down this way the men who know things in politics are beginning to predict that State Senator George M. Landers of New Britain would be the democratic candidate for governor this fall—Bridgeport Telegram. Beef is high, but fish is cheaper than it has been for many years. There is né" need for the clever housewife to worry about the cost of living, but, of course, there are many homes without clever housewives.— Waterbury Republican, Those persons who have been throwing dead fish in the street ought to stop that kind of work. The odor from dead fish is unbearable and how anyone can have so little regard for other people as to dump dead fish in the street is hard to understand. —Naugatuck News. The younger generation of Filipinos want leather shoes of the latest style, and are discarding the native ‘‘chi- nela,” but we shall refuse to admit the little brown brothers are civilized until they wear orange neckwear with purple spots on it, and stovepipe straw hats.—Brockton Times. All-the-Year-Round Courts. (Omaha Bee.) Several Chicago judges have re- cently announced their intention. to forego their summer vacations so as to give hearings to persons awaiting trial and unable, or not permitted, to furnish bond. OH the face of it, 1t seems like magnanimity on the part of the judges, but it is simply what they should do. Why keep a man in a stuffy prison on the suspicion of guilt, yet entitled to the presumption of innocence, in order that a judge may have a fine time at some sum- mer resort? For the man with money to put up in lieu of lying 1n jail it may not matter so much, but to the man of no means speedy trial is vital. It is only drawing attention anew from another angle to some of the peculiar practices of the courts. There is no more reason for stopping the machinery of justice than for shutting down the wheels of industry. Rather less reason, for the judges and court officers can easily arrange to take their vacations one at a time, and no one complains that we lack for numbers in judges. There is positively no justification for keeping an accusea man in jail pending a trial one day longer than necessary. Many a man serves out a fairly long sentence this way, then proves his innocence, without re- course for the imprisonment. So we say, if all-the-year-round courts will promote justice they should com- lmand our favor. McMILLAN'S. | 1914.
