There is also less chance of dent on the pay-as-you-enter car, such as used in Washington, Baltimore and other cities, for the simple reason that the vehicle is never started until all doors are closed and the outside steps are raised flush with the sides of the car thus making it impossible for anyone to board it while iri mo- tion. The terrible accident in New Haven last night is mute evidence of the dahgers of the running boards on cars. The pay-as-you-enter car bids fair to become a permanent fixture in the great Amercan cities. It is an economical proposition in the first place as it is a combination summer and winter car. The beauty of this is that sudden storms of summer are made less annoying when trolley rid- ing because the car can be closed against the ravages of wind and rain in a very short space of time. It is to be hoped that the Connecticut Company in the kindness of its cor- porate heart will place a few of these cars on the city streets of New Brit- ain, Trolley riding in the winter then would not be so burdensome, and, when the people are educated to hav- ing their exact fare ready before the approaching car comes to a still, there will 'be no delay in load- ing. One car placed here would serve as a proper teacher of the ways and methods of the pay-as-you-enter. in The papers make considerable com- motion about ten-cent baseball in the metropolitan district and yet they have heen playing ten-cent ball down there for some time.-——Newburg Journal. po- Cotton has been declared contra- band because it is the chief ingredient in the manufacture of smokeless pow- der.

The constitution convention on Thursday adopted that portion of the report of the Jjudiciary committee which embodies a plan to lessen the law’s delays. This is a very important act and, if it accomplishes the pur- poses intended, it will be of a very great benefit, particularly to the poorer class of litigants. It will mean that a man who seeks justice in court must no longer have to face the proh- ability of having to fight his case through three or four courts and spend in defending it more than it is worth.—RBuffalo Expr Mr. Root is well within“the fa when he declares that the system legal procedure h been made to conform the subtle, cute, highly trained ideas of Tnwyers,"™ where it onght to he made to conform the plain man's intel and ex- | perience, so that the farmer, the mer- chant and the laborer can undc stad it.” The legal system, in other words, has been built by and for the lawyers.
