Henry Roraback wills it. towns form the is The Republican party of the state very likely will be opposed. The grand old party does not favor too much gin in its politics and a referendum, if going heavily In favor of the wets, would virtual- ly force the moguls of the party to take notice in some way. This they are not Inclined to do, are endeavoring to avold it by every possible means. Only the Demo- cratic party, as a rule, stands for a Iiberalized attitude toward prohibi- tlon; a referendum probably would force the Republican party to take a definite stand on the dry question, something that Rora- back is In no hurry to attempt. It is possible, therefore, that the attempt to bring about a referen- dum in this state, in spite of its apparent overwhelmingly wet timent in the cities, will have hard | sledding the considering that have a preponderance of the leg- sen- in the Legislature, where cities are at a disadvantage, the small towns islators.

THE LONG ISLAND RAIL WRECK REPORT How neglectful some ot our rail- roads are getting in stimulating a proper among their ployes was indicated in the report of the Interstate Commerce Com- R morale em- fn connection with the wreck on the Long Island railroad recently which meant death for seven persons. The wreck was due, according to the report, to the bad condition of a main line switch, and many other switches were in no superior condition. Taxity and defects were apparent to the I C. C. investiga- tors. Primarily a scction foreman, who cannot read or write, nor can he speak English, but the track supervisor also came in for a sharp reprimand. The switch in and others on that rallroad are the report declared. An im- portant nut had worked off the switch because there was no cotter pin to hold it. Note the was responsible, Wi 40 years, use just as following paragraph the commission's report re- garding how things wers done on the Long Island rallroad: from “In some cases nails were in use instead of cotter pins, while in sev- eral instances there was no nut at all, the connecting rod bheing held in place only by a washer support ed by a cotter pin; on one-side stands the ends of the cotter pin had not been spread; and there was nothing to prevent it from work- ing out “or from being pushed out easily by hand. The existence of such conditlons indicates laxness in the maintenance of switches, as well as in the supervision and in- spection of the gme.” Over these defective switches trains roared at 50 miles an hour.

We thought of various excuses and finally in despair wrote the accept- ance. Let us pass over the period be- tween the invitation and the cere- mony. The details of the frantic purchasing of the morning clothes that would grow moldy in the clothes closet after the wedding; the nerve racking struggle to get & present suitable for the couple and the final choosing of candlesticks; the packing and repacking for the three day trip to the home of the bride—sixteen miles into the Massa- chusetts hills and a car of the 1906 type to make the most of the bumpy voad; the bachelor dinner the night before where we decidedly flopped at being the best man present—there e three others much better than us. Let us pass over all this and arrive at the day of the wedding. Scene Is the bridegroom's bedroom and we awaken—fully dressed in dinner clothes (that bachelor din- ner!) Low moans from the groom and an usher reclining in a position approaching prone on the floor. Somebody murmurs “Happy wed- ding day” and the group adjourns to souse respective heads in cold wa- ter. The groom who has been blithely looking forward for several months to this morning scems to have suf- fered a’severe relapse during the night and is at a figure much be- low par. If an even break were offered him we have no doubt But what he would abandon the scheme Bije Ove: “Gi0o' bye to work, ¢'mon let's go! Oh boy, Ah'se feelin’ fine!

The bride's father en- ters and beams around rubbing his inds briskly and saying “A fir ay. A fine day.” The groom looks out the window and agrees peevish- ly. Time somehow drags along to noon—the groom occupying his spare moments (and there are 60 of them to the hour) reading a pat- ent medicine almanac and directing our efforts to pack his bag. Some- where the victim has read that the best man always packs the grooms two years, and it was also one of the first. Denied a permit for a two family house on Hart street, an ammended plan was later accepted and a permit issued. The exterlor of the bullding remained unchanged, An appeal was taken and the com- mon council ordered the permit re- voked. Another amendment was accepted by the building commission, but before a permit was issued ap- peal was taken to the board of ad- justment, resulting in a ruling that the house was intended for® two housing units and could mot stand in a dence A district.

As far as we know the couple got away on the wedding trip all vight. We heard as we were lying in Ward 5-G of the nearest hospital that they had sent us a card thank- ing us for our efforts in their be- half. And we, beca of that broken les that we received when | the brother of the bride swung on us ached quite a bit at the time, just tried to smile bravely and then turned our face to the wall and again swore off all weddings. And this time we really mean it. Police regulations are stiffening, as readers of daily newspapers are becoming aware. Heretofore if a citizen of good standing was arrested for a minor violation of the automobile 1 he might be allowed to go home with- ont posting a bond with the expecta- tion that he would appear at court the following day. Judge Alling and Chief Hart decided this week that this custom would be abandoned and all persons placed under arrest. Time was when a fellow who had left his automobile parked in a re- stricted district longer than the law allowed could walk into police head- quarters with the tag, furnish a sonable excuse for breaking the ordinance and that would be all there was to it. But no more. All| tags on cars now mean $2 per, re- pardless of the social standing of | the offender. A person who has been arrested and is free on bonds must now pre- nt himself at 8:30 o'clock prompt- ly in police court or the hond will bo forfeited. This declaration was made yesterday by Judge Alling and he didn’t mean maybe. All these changes in custom may make life harder for citizens who have been under the impression that the police force and court were go- as-you-please institujions. But they make for a more business like ade ministration of the police and itice departments. The wonder is that they were not adopted long ago. When the Naples building case comes info superior court next week on appeal from the order of the board of adjustment that work must not go on until the plan is amended, a number of interesting situations are likely to arise, One of the most unus will be the embarrassing necessity of a city attorney cross-examining experts who are or have been in the city employ and disputing the claims which these individuals will be call- ed upon by the Naples interests to introduce into court.
