At the first tapping, the old gentleman opens the portal and gives hearty wel- come to the stranger who is turned | away from, so many places every day It is because of this incessant vigil- ance that the name of Edison will be written on the pages of history as the greatest inventor of all ages. Even in disaster, when most peo- ple could think only of their misfor- tune, Thomas Edison can see and grasp an opportunity. On December 9, last, when the inventor’s huge man- ufacturing plant was burning, an em- ploye informed him glass jars con- taining diamond points for disc rec- ords would certainly be destroved as no one could dee them in the smoke. That employe was Opportunity cal: ling to Thomas A, Edison. The wiz- ard of Electricity saw what Oppor- tunity, presented,—a chance to give to the world something for which the | world had. been waiting a long time. And today Thomas Edison announces his latest invention, a fireman’s lamp, the light of which will penetrate smoke or steam and make it possible not only to find and remove articles | of great value, but to save lives at fires. This new lamp of Edison’s may be | the means of revolutionizing the world in many ways. For centuries | shipping interests have been clamor- ing for a search-light whose rays will penetrate fog, making travel on the high seas not only safer, but doing away with many delays. Edison's lamp will probably solve this prob- fent, It will have its place on railroads and in mines. The lamp will also find its way to the battle- fields of Europe for use in night re- connoitering. Thus, an opportunity grasped at the proper moment event- ually proves of great reward to the man jvho takes heed. KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN. Busihess men of She United States heartily approve of Presidént Wilson's -stand tp preserve the' s6- | called ‘“Open Door” policy in China. Californians, who. ‘have always feared Japanese political intrigues, will ress easier now that they know the United States has successfully blocked any *agreement by which China and Japan may enter into ne- gotiations which: would jeopardize the treaty rights of this nation and its citizens in China. 1t is less than two months ago that | Japan undertook to issue af ultima< tum insisting upon certain conces- sions from China. China has acceded to many of the demands contained in a revised edition of that ultimatum, and many business men of the Unitea States fear that Japan is seeking to destroy commerce between Chiana and this country. President Wilson’s warning will preclude any possibility of closing the “Open Doori" ‘He has informed Japan and China that we will not recognize: any agreement between' them which might impair American rights in China, or endanger the su-calledl “Open Door” policy. Not only this country, but even{ na- tion in" the “‘Dr[d is' interested in the “open door” policy. President Wilson by his timely warning to Japan not to_encroach dn the political or terri- torial rights of the Republic of Chi- na, may have nipped in the bud a sin- ister plot which would manifest itself by great embarrassment to interna- tional commerce after the war in Europe has been brought to a close. Japan, aided and abetted by & Eu- ropean war meh “for the ‘time being takes the ‘eyes of the belligerents oft | her, chose to grasp . an oportunity _to further her own interests. The watehful ‘éye ' of President Wilson, however, was never sleeping on Far Eastern affairs,—for which American business may be duly thankful. “It {5 more dangerous to ride in an automobile than go in tae trenches,” comments our old friend Hudson Maxim, the inventor.

The charge against Huerta is conspiracy to incite a against a friendly country, against the neutrality .laws of United States. Those who' know him well, have been looking forward to this day for some time. Down in Washington, where more Mexican revolutions are hatched than in any other incubator, an the the agents of the Carranzista forces and the agents of the Villa regime have kept an eye always on the for- mer Dictator. These men knew that Huerta was not farming-on Long Is- land; that what wds supposed to be a sojourn of leisure was indeed a plan to recoup his position as' Dicta- tor of Mexico. Huerta is no farmer. He wag not raising eatables. He was raising an army. By this time Huerta enough of the Wilson administration. must ‘have He must know he cannot do* doing in their own land. However he cannot out of thé United States and into Mexico. Whatever complaint Huerta launches will avail him nothing. With e non of the known peeved, he must realize grata.

It would be unreasonable for him now to'think that he, either as a tourist, or as a Long Island far- mer, can remove the cloak of disap- proval this administration flung over his shoulders. The United States Government by holding back Huerta has extended a ‘nelping hand to Caranza and Villa. If these two gentlemen can read the handwriting on the wall they will get together now and cement their fac- tions, thereby ‘making for United Mexico. Had Huerta gone in he would have united them,—possibly in death. - Now is their chance to help themselves, the people of their na- tive land, and their friendly neigh- bors on this side 'of the border.

COMMUNICATED. { Takes Excepton to Eviction by Con- stable Stark, 5| In regkard to a story a recent issue of the papers ¢ity: Constable Stark is said to have g4iq that I became abusive when I appeared ir the house from which he vias evicting a woman =na her chil- dren. ‘' His statement Js raise. I do not wish to be connected with so revolting | an act, but if the facts must become krown, 1 appeared on the scene after béing summoned by a badly fright- ened girl who said that two men_were ttightening her mother and™ her brothers. I asked the cons:able if he was justified in taking any such action at that time of night and his ahswer was very abrupt. He was in- clined to pick a fight with me and put e out of the place hy rorce. I think that the constable's action was a dis- tinct violation of.any justice that ever obtained and was most high-handed, Tican see no necessity or Geéfense for &n eviction at that time of the night and deplore the circumstances that called for the frightening of women and children while they were barely avake.

DUBOWY. | ed. | celved a pretty thorough overhauling ‘Utles the traveler to 30 days of, fum-| | where they Will Reply Be Favorable? (Ansonia Sentinel.) There seems to be a well defined | opinion in Washington that the Ger- | man reply to the American hote will | be favorable and conciliatory and that it will go a long way toward meeting the American wishes for warning and . search of passenger ships that meet German submarines. The United States does not ask that Germany give up its submarine warfare on mer- chantmen altogehter. It merely de- mands that Germany exercise the right of search and make arrangement | for the safety of the crews of ves- sels that it sinks which are carrying contraband. This is quite another thing than the request for the total abandonment of submarine warfare. Germany can without loss of self | respect or any material damage to her naval campaign, comply with the rules of international in this regard. The submarines now, when it suits their , fancy, stop and search merchantmen and then sink them after allowing the crews time to take to the boats. If ! they can comply with this rule of in- | | ternational law once, they can do it | again. What the American note dfasists upon is safety for Americans traveling on the high seas under the protection of well understood international law. That is the entire substgnce of the ultimatum that President Wilson has sent in a friendly way to Germany. It is good news indeed if Germany is now inclined to grant the substance of our ! | request and: to modify her naval cam- paign to meet an emergency that would never have arisen if she had clung to the rules of war that hav been in use ‘for upwards of two hun- dred years. It is to be hoped that the optimism of Washingten is well found- Heretofore there, has been no real indication that-Gérmany will re- cede from the illegal position she had taken.” If shé' yvields now it will be under the pressure of powerful forces within the empire which e how potent would be the economic power of the United States wholly exerted | again her even if we took no active part in the present war. The New Haven Smell. (Waterbury American.) The New Haven railroad has re- at the hands of various agencies, but one phase of its turpitude not even Howard Elliott has been able, or will- ing, to eradicate. That is the odor of the disinfestant used in its cars. One hour on a New Haven train en- igation, but even then he will hardly be justified in mingling in polite so. ciety with the same suit of clothes on. . Whatever the mixture is, it is| a triumph of chemical cussedness. It| is as pervasive, as enduring, and well- | nigh as disagreeable as the perfume | of the well-known skunk. May heaven wark a change of heart in the| New Haven sanitary department, or speed the perfection of the long-dis- tance jithey bus! Strong Headlights. (Norwich Bulletin.) It ydoesn't make any difference are encountered it is im- possible to look upon the glaring, dazzling headlights of automobiles as anything Dbut ‘unnecessary and dan. geraus. It doesn’t require much ex- perience on the part of an auto driver to understand just what a handicap such lights are when they are en- countered head on, or how entirely needless they are within the limits of a city where the streets are lighted. They obliterate the vision of the pe- cestrian the game as they do the auto drivers and while they have been the cause of a number of serious and fa- tal accidents, it is the exercise of ad- ditional caution, or possibly good for- ture smore than anything else, which has prevented the list from being larger. Hartford tolerated such blinding lights until the requiréments of safe- ty made action necessary and they were stopped. The Bridgeport Tele- gram understanding the importance of such actinn beijeves that regulatory reasures should be passed to keep such lighte ‘“‘shut off or turned down within tha eity limits.” It is a wise precaution not only for ! state of 'gested, as his -ideal the city but also for the narrow country road. - Lights are necessary upon all vehicles and autos especial- 1y, but there is no need of the bright- est light that can be found. It op- erates against rather than for safety and where there are times when they do no harm because no one is en- countered going in the opposite direc- tion there are many others when they make travel as dangerous as if there was no light at all. Th the interest of common safety every strong head- light should either beg abolished or equipped with a dimmer. Dreadnought Locomotives. (New London Telegraph.) More important than any news of German 17-inch guns or British super- dreadnoughts is the announcemeat {that one of the great transcontinen- tal railroads has engines pulling a ! mile of loaded freight cars. These huge locamotives are in use if the Washington, between Spo. kane and Leavenworth. They are described as having seventeen driv- ing wheels apiece, and two separatc boilers. Two years ago James J. Hill sug~ of power 4 and transporiation efficiency, a locomotive capable of “hauling 100 loaded cars. These are hauling 124 cars apiece- the equivalent of about 500 cars cf the ordinary European type, Thelr very power has proved to be a source of trouble. There are no side trachks long enough to accommodate " their trains, and there are few cars strong nough to endure the strain of the enormecus pull, so that the trains are constantly breaking in two. These defects, however, will be remedied. Eventually it is likely that the whole equipment will be rebuilt to fit the ‘new giants. It is expected, that before long e gines of this type will be pulling freight over the “big hill”—the Cas- cades divide—to the Puget Sound iports. If they prove practicable for | that heavy mountain work, similar en- gines wilk probably be installed on other trunk lines in the mountdin regions. That would presumably tend to cheapen transportation costs and help the railroads to compete with steamships in transcontinental busi- ness. The Important Submarine. (Bridgeport Farmer.) The submarine grows in importance with each passing week of war. = All reports seem to show that the great fleet which the allies brought to the Dardanelles is all but interned to avoid under water attacks, Yet, in this part of the world there must be many less submarines than surface craft, several millions worth of battle- ships, cruisers and destroyers. The submarine is essentially a weapon of defense. It does its best work close to its own coast, It is a weapon which should be multiplied in the United States. Five hundred mod- ern submarines would be an abundant guarantee against invasion. Should Becker Die? (Waterbury Republican.) It is confidently predicted by the New York World that Gevernor Whitman will not commute the sen- tence of former Police Lieutenant Charles Becker,- who is shortly to be electrocuted for instigating the mur- der of Herman Rosenthal, the gamb. ler. Mr. Whitman has already given the question consideration and decided that after being twice cons victed by jury trials, the second con- viction having been unanimously sus- tained by the court of appeals, there can be mno substantial doubt of Becker’s guilt. In a way it seems harsh that the last resort for Becker, the appeal for executive clemency, must be made to a gavernor who as prosecuting attor- ney was instrumental in having him found guilty, but that is an accident of politics and should not interfere with the due and orderly process of law. The worst thing that could hap- pen in the case is not that another man should be executed, but that the real murderer of Rosenthal . should escape punishment. The human tools of the murder have been de- McMILLAN’S ew l'lnh Busiest Big “Always Reliable,” SPECIAL SALE of Women's * House Dresses 79c each For Dresses, worth $1.00 to $1.49, (all sizes up to 44 bust.)
