B ——— A retired bootlegger seems to be somebody who can afford to buy his stuff from some other bootlegger. Out in Hamilton, Ohio, the city has built a highway, lined it with beautiful trees, and called it the “Road of Remebrrance.” Of course, that indicates that it is a memorial | to the war veterans. The road has | only one bad feature. Everytime the local papers have a story about it they've got to use a two-column | headline. Or maybe that was the subtle method of the highway spon- sors in insuring proper newspaper | display. The baseball season is only two ‘weeks old, and of course, the pen- nant winners of May do not neces- | sarily turn out to be the pennant winners at the finish. But what we were going to say is that we trust the clubs in the major leagues which have shown such unexpected strength so far remain about where they are, Anything to beat the two New York teams and show up the experts as having been all wrong in ! their forecasts. Needless to add, we are not identified with any of the | sporting departments. IMPROVING THE PARK Along felt want is being supplied. They Park Board, for years realizing that the condition of the roadways in Walnut Hill park were far below the standard demanded by sophisti- cated motorists, has begun the con- Weat Main entrance to the park; and -evidence that the job will be done right is noted by the fact that the firmly against changing from the old highway has been torn up, traf- [ fic is detoured from the park en-’ trance, and an entirely new highway : will be put down. | The entrance to the park for a' long time was among the most | decript of the park roads. On a hilly highway, the wear by automobiles, | especially hard on the pavement. The old pavement was pumped full of holes about as fast as the park board could repair it. Now an improved pavement is to go down, and we shall see in due time whether it will last at this critical spot. Motorists will wish it well. THE CITY'S SIDEWALKS | A citizen whose automobile sud- denly gave evidence of being without gasoline and consequently found himself marooned in the West End was forced to take a ‘ short walk in search of a gasoline | . station, His itinerary took him over | p, the Black Rock bridge. In speaking of it afterwards he said it was not the bridge that bethered him so much as the condition of the side- - \.“"‘ leading up the incline, The city has been insisting upon property owners putting down side- walks in various sections of the city ' It might well set an example occa- sionally.

PAY AS YOU G As overy SLOW iniclligent observer of pay-as-you-go shibboleth. The ques- tion is one of politics and nothing less. The gefierals of Republicanism got an opportunity to preach a first- rate campaign document which, be- cause it happened to be enunciated during debate on the Senate fioor, got free passage over the press asso- ciation wires. The boys amack their chops and figure it ought to be good for some more votes at the next election. The Democratic spellbind- ers before the spotlight didn't do 80 well; perhaps they felt defeat in the air and were actuated by the what's-the-use attitude, Connecticut can get along with- out bonds, of course—by going slow; indeed, very slow. What it can't pay for it doesn’'t buy; and what it doesn’t get for the present genera- tion it may be able to acquire dur- ing the next. 1f not then maybe in 100 years. A CHANCE FOR “EXPERTS” The Federal Farm Board which is to be appointed to administer farm reliet under the law being put through Congress is to be permitted 1o appoint “experts” to assist in the matter. The National Civil Service Reform league has discovered that there is no provision in the law for the appointment of such experts through civil service examinations and is making quite a hullabaloo about it. The number of such experts is not yet known. They will be prominent in distributing the “revolving fund" of $500,000,000 provided for the i marketing of surplus farm products and ought to be quite an important cog in the relief machinery. How- ever, we cannot join in the hullaba- loo that the experts will not need | to pass some species of civil service examination. Experience has shown that such examinations usually are theoretical in nature, as if devised by college professors, and that many a good man for a job is unable to | pass such an examination. The possibility that an army of ex- perts may be employed under the farm reliet law is something to ponder over. however. It will pro- vide employment for these gentle- imen and will add to the “army of federal employes™ ministrations have been talking about depracatingly for wmeveral vears. It seems that we always talk of reducing tthis army, yet in prac- tice constantly increase it, The reform league is fearful that glorified office boys may turn out to be the experts. “If we are to have an honest, impartial and economical administration of any federal farm relief law,” says the league bulletin, “the employment of highly qualitied which the ad- ,officers is imperative.” But who has “honest, impartial administration” of essential. These claimed that an and economical farm relief is needs have never been stresscd in the arguments for farm relief. The main thought, it seems, is to get that $500,000,000. Some years hence, when the farmers have realized that farm re- lief is not all it is cracked up to be, something else can be discussed. RVED WHAT HE GOT A dispatch from South Africa the other day told of how a rash ranch- |<r, one Jaerl Nafte, had been strung |Up and given ten lashes, after which ,he was sent to prison for seven years {Veen Pittaburgh and the Western y,ggar o dime withiout insisting that of hard labor. The fact that this dis- way from Pretoria must indicate it was deemed of considerable im- portance. It was. The incident was the first time in the history of 8outh Africa in which a white man had been flozged for having flogged a native. The cuse was taken to the rime Minister, General and the Hon. James Barry Munnik Hertzog. whose curt reply was “The sentence of flogging must be carried out.” Then it was submitted to the cabi- net of South Africa, which also made short shrift of the care by saving the flogging must be carried out. Nafte %ot his ten stiipes. As a matter of fact. he was entitled 1o ubout fifty. Race prejudice—race supremacy, they call it—is far more developed in the Union of South Africa than In our southern statee. A million and a half of whites helow the Zambesi river live among 8,000,000 natives, some of them hostile. Dincipline iy enforced among the natives in vari- ous ways. but several years ago the government forbade laying on of the kiboko, or lash., by private individ- uale. This law, however, is nullified | in the case of refractory natives by | first covering them with a I-Innk't,; %0 that there need be no welts and cuts as evidence for the district com- missioner. This Jaerl Nafte, however, was not so particular. Nafte's vielations of the conven- tions was described as follows “Nezlecting 10 use a blanket Rancher Jaerl Natic man proceeded t amed Sixpence rash and his fore kiboko a black Temba, whe, they said. had insulted a whits woman Spreadeagling the lorrificd blacka- mMoor on a wagon wheel, they lashed (him until their arms were tired.

Rixpence, as he had prophesied, dicd.” All the seuthern gentlemen in the Union of South Africa were incensed when Nafte was convicted of man- slaughter and sentenced to hard labor and a flogging. Protestant edi- tors called Catholic Judge Saul Solo- i mon, King's counsel, a “negrophilist™ {for inflicting the sentence. \%ut the judge simply said: “Due to the fact that the defend- ant inflicted pain upon hia victim by suspending him head downward and beating him to death, he likewise should suffer pain. Rancher Nafte was not suspended head downward when the ten lashes were inflicted. Nevertheless, he felt them. The law is the law—in South Aftica. The effect in the Union is ! bound to be wholesome. TRUNK LINE DISAGREEMENT The Weatern Maryland railroad is a line which roughly runs west from Baitimore in the general direction of Pittsburgh. Once upon a time it was an independent line. Around 1904 it ‘was made a part of the Gould system and was (o provide & new trunk line from the West, in conjunction with the Wabash, which runs from the West to Pittsburgh. The Goulds built a nice passenger station in Pittsburgh, which now is called a “chapel,” because it is rarely occus pied by anyone. The scheme fell through, because economically the through line could not compete with the Pennsylvania or the Baltimore l& onie. A year or so ago the Baltimore & Ohio bought the controlling interest in the Western Maryland. This pure chase did not meet with the ap- proval of the Interstate Commerce Commission and is still before it. The Pennsylvania meanwhile bought a controlling interest in the Wabash. ‘sow it is a question as to which of these two 'lines is to control the fabrication of a “fifth trunk line” composed of the Wabash and the Western Maryland. It it is against the law for the B. & O. to control the W. M., then [it is likewise against the law for the Pennsy to control the Wabash. Thel Pennsy already has a line between Pittsburgh and Chicago—indeed, it has two routes. The Wabash is a competing line between those cities. 8o is the B. & O. The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion has a stiff question before it. P ion may be nine tenths of the law, and both contending trunk lines are in the possessor class. Lined up jwith the B. & O. is the Chesapeake & Ohis, while the New York Cen- tral offers sympathy and probably more if neccssary. The other lines do not care for the schemes of (hel Pennsylvania, and seem inclined to aid one another as much as pu.ibla." The New York Central his developed | the Pittsburh and Lake Erie, running | | buy water from Hartford and Hart- ford to sell water to New Britain. Which dovetails well with the “Greater Hartford" idea. The metro- politan district that ambitious Hart- ford wishes to aee materialize ex- tends over a marvelous expanse of {territory, seuth all the way to Mer. iden. New Britain comes into this district of imaginary texture, and no doubt Hartford will conclude that because New Britain is o buy water from it, that is more evidence for putting New Britain in the great metropolitan district. But .the metropolitan district is net to be taken seriously, irrespec- give of water cooperation or trade jtendencies. New Britain also has a metropolitan district—a sort of mental one, the same as Hartford's. Our metropolitan district juts into that of Hartford at many points. Th_re is one important difference be- tween the metropelitan districts of New Britain and Hartford, hewever; we do not take the thing seriously, while there are innumerable people in Hartford—especially the Cham- ber of Commerce—who think a metropolitan district on paper real- ly amounts to semething, If Hartford ever wants to include us in that imaginary metropelitan district merely because we have an agreement with the city to use its water if necessary we intend to break a few vest buttons with laughter.
