Saxe,* presiding over the city court, got off to a good start when he gave all listen- ers, and the city through the news- papers, his idea of what constituted reckless autcmobile driving. We rather think from what he said | that the judge does not sympathize with speed artists, In a day when some folk seem utterly unable to take automobile driving seriously 1t is agrecable to find a judge. at the beginning of his term in a clty court, taking a de- cided stand against sapheaded driv- ing. ‘Driving an automobile in ftself is a djfficult operation,”—note his the element of recklessness it becomes a very serious matter.” How serious it can be was evi- state's Independ- none were due to fireworl In New Jersey an entire family— a mother and seven children—were wiped out when the automobile was driven past a crossing tender and stogped on the railroad tracks. In west a similar accident was practically duplicated. At Walpole, Mass,, a woman drove was the oncoming bus, in order to avoid a headon collisicn, was guided into a tree; result, 26 hurt. The judge has the right idea when he concludes nobody is a friend to a reckless driver. The public high- ways must be safe, The judges can do a great deal towald this desired end. made A NEW FEDERAL JUDGE It is becoming quite noticeable that whenever the state wishes an extra good man for an appointment the powers-that-be consider person- we find that after Edward F. Hall of this city -was named chairman state finance commis- sion and Benjamin B. Alling of this ty was chosen as attorney-general, along comes a report that the Jat- ter has first call for the position of tederal judge, to fill a second judge- ship created for this state at the last session of Congress. The attorney-general has not been named as yet, and the position is not to be filled until December; also, the salary of a federal judge is ex- actly the same as that for' the state’s attorney-general. The only advantage of being a federal judge, is that being one avoids an it seems, the necessity of entering into election every four years. This does not mean so much in Connecticut, however, considering that the attor- ney-general is identified with the Republicans, and not the Democrats. Of course, there 15 the possibility that some wing of the Republican' party in the state at some future time may succeed in shaking up office holders, which in such a case may result to the disadvantage of office-holders; but nothing of the sort is in sight as yet in this state. The attorney-general is as good as being re-elected right now—if he wants to retain the job and does not elect to become a federal judge. There is something about being | identified with the federal govern- ment, however, that is superior to being identified with the state gov- ‘We should say that it judge are torney-general as a federal enough the odds about 6u to 40 for his acceptance. Readers will have to wait until December to discover whether this | guess is right or wrong; and if it is wrong, there is the strong alibi that the attorney-general didn't want the federal judgeship position in the first place.

American nation cannot consider anything less than parity, regardless of the fotal for parity purposes de- cided upon The son, trump card of Hugh S. Gib- the American delegate, is that if thers is to he cruiser competition between Big Three the United States c: tering into an agreement designed to avoid enormous additions to the re- spective fleets. The sharp point to the American view consists of ability to carry out the threat at less per capita cost to the American people than a cruiser race would cost Brit- ish taxpayers. Gibson and his techniclans, to win possible adhesion to a compromise, have given dotails of how quickly cruisers can be constructed in the United States—how quickly Britain can be outdistanced in both number and tonnage. The evidence when given was convincing, it appears; if W. C. Bridgen an, chief British dele- gate, actually holds to his contention for a bigger total his nation will lose every vestige of advantage on the high seas, and instead of parity, will be the second naval power. The United States position is one of remarkable restraint. One reads frequent references to A “ruinous naval competition;” but such a com- petition cannot ruin the richest na- tion on earth. England would be on the track toward ruination compar- atively early if attempts were made to compete with the United States in gase the Geneva parley fails. The British delegates have nearly wrecked the conferdnce. Now it cvident to even the most die-hard, case-hardened gentlemen from the British Isles that Britain must play marbles according to rules or lose the game if there are to be no rules. Consider the extent of the British plan as compared With the Ameri- can: England’s cruiser demand, be- fore it was pared down, was given at from 500,000 to 600,000 tons. The American plan was for parity at from 250,000 to 300,000 tons. Even earlier the British desired only limitations in the strength of indi- vidual ships. and not in the num- ber of ships. She was willing to build a huge navy of small ships it she could not build a huge assortment of vast fighting craft. The American view has won on two points; that the United States would build more small vessels or more large ships—if that was to be the outcome of the conference. The Britons appear to have seen the light. By reducing their cruiser demands to a point considered “within reason"—although still at a figure higher than anyone expect- ed such a conference to deal with— they have practically admitted that domination at the conference is as unlikely as dominance on the seas. In the days before the Washing- ton Arms conference that nation which combined resources and ag- gressiveness or willingness to go to big- gest navy. The war shifted this pos- sibility on all counts to the United States. Instead of taking advantage of this shift President Harding call- ed a halt, and if this act saved the American nation money it saved the others, Wwith less resources at their command, comparatively more money. The outlook has not materially changed; we can still out-bulld all others, or any two combined if nec- essary. The fact that we are willing to avoid such folly indicates if any- thing that we graclously have dis- carded an advantage which few if any others would have dome under | similar circumstances. It is doubtful whether our good intentions are fully agpreciated. the necessary outlay had the BOND COMMISSIONS Seems that directors of no rail- road can make plans nowadays without running into objections by minority stockholders. As stock- holders are numerous, a block of indignant minority security holders can always eventuate with monkey wrenches to throw iInto the ma- chinery. Usvally they hire lawyers Minority stockholders of the Bal- timore & Ohio are now -making “vigorous protest” before the Inter- state Commerce Commission against that road’s plan to issue and sell more than $63,000,000 common stock. And why should they object? Merely because out of this amount nearly $1,500,000 would go in com- missions to banking houses. This question has been brought up dly. The banking concerns charge commissions on the securities they scll the public and large re- turns available on “small” percentage.

The average street parade is & huge success because the people get a free show, although plenty of parades have taken place which were not worth looking at. The Springfield merchants have discovered a new way to stimulate a day's business. We rather think there will be plenty of imitators. \ Factsand Fancies The modern girl wears everything short except her conversation, Perhaps we call them “grounds” for divorce because they're usually made of dirt.
