S0 long as reckless automobile drivers can laugh at the law, just so long will they o on in their mad career 1 8 property and crippling and ing cltizen: The Courant calls attention to two oases—one at Hartford and the other | at New Haven—in these words: “The reckless fellow who rap his automobile so fast as to smash a wegon all to flinders on Farmingten @venue the other night only escaped By undeserved Iuck from Kflling the | whose vehicle he strewed along o roadway for a block. The court leniently gave him only thirty days in 381, and, behold, he has appealed his osse. “Down In New Haven on Friday a young fellow was caught driving his machine across the crowded corner of Chapel and Church streets at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. The police took him in, and his plea was that It was impossible to run at a 1ower speed. Further Investigation de. veloped the Interesting fact that the veuth who couldn’t help it didn't have any license gt all and had no right to be driving machine in the street. The judge denounced him for ‘violat- ing dbout every law relative to the use and speed of automobil For that mild offense the judge gave him ten days in jall! He appealed. too.” The Courant is talking to the point when it says: “Tt strikes us that the superior court when It takes hold of these cases wil] become an. object of st.

The clalm is constantly being made that the laws in this country with gard to the cruel'and barbarous com- duct of the Black Hand are not of sufficient severity to restrain them that these Buropean malefactors are well gware of this fact and that in consequence this country Is an mvite ing place for thelr operations.

This has been a trying year with the treasury department and the de- fleit promises to be the largest since the republicans were returned to pow- er. Reports show that since March began the treasury has received $19,- 64,482 from the custom holses, $13,- B! 72 from the internal taxes, and from other and unspecified sources $2,996,013. Of the $37.830,000 ai bursed since March began, $10,460,000 went to the public penploners and $410,000 to the Indfans. The ‘“civil and miscellaneous”, expenditures to- taled $7,730,000; the oxpenditures on war department account $6,810,000; the expenditures on navy department account, $7.500,000; the expenditures on public works $4,820,000, There s still an avallable cash bal- anee in the treasury of $136,018,433.90 which Is In no immediate danger of being exhausted; but it will be a glad day when business-takes a new start and the revenues prove ample to meet all the expenseg of the government, LACK OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING The nation thet is short of skilled workmen must import them or suffer. There is nothing praiseworthy in a policy which keeps skilled workmen to & minimum number. In the pres- ent dilemma of England it is alleged that she has ship yards enough to | bulld Dreadnaughts faster than she really needs them, and the British people are just now ready to appro- priate the millions to the purpdss. But a suspicion is raised that there s not enough skilled labor in the land to do the work, if it is planned that there shall go forward together all the con- struction which the yards and the puree can undertake. There Is no lack of men in Great Britain, for her army | of unemployed is so great that she hardly knows what to do with them. She could employ more were they tralned In the work she has for them. It is belioved that this revelation of industrial weakness will result in the striking of a better balance between the skilled and unskilled workmen' than now exists there.

Joseph Swan, for Forty Years Asso- ciated Press Marine Reporter. New York, March 22.—A long snd interesting newspaper career was glos¥| ed todav with the sudden death of Jo- seph Swan, for nearly forty years con- nected with the Assoclated Press as marine reporter. Mr. Swan, active to the end, dropped dead in his chalr in the ship news office at the with his follow reporters. For the past month he had not been a well man, and had been warned not to over- exert himself, as his heart was show. ing signs of weakness, Mr. Swan began his career as ship news reporter of the Assoclated Press when there were two quarantine st: tions down the bay. was al tine station, and braved all kinds of stormy weather alone in a rowboat day after day, visiting incoming vessels to get reports of thelr voyages. He was brave to a fault, and many times faced | death in the risky trips in the per- formanee of what was under the con- ons an arduous duty. In more re- t years Swan made his headquar- ters In the ship news office at the Bat- tery, where death came to him today. | Thousands of men along the water- front knew Joe Swan. He had led a | somewhat adventurous cateer before | | entering the field of mewspaper work, | serving in the elvil war and later go- | ing on a mining expedition into the wilds of Montana, in which he met with many adventures, Swan was 68 vears old and lived in Brooklyn. His wife, three sons and a daughter sur- vive him. They All Want the Bridg The weight of public opinion, flected in the press all over the state, is in favor of building the proposed bridge acruss the Connecticut at Lyme. There may be differences as to detai | and as to the subsequent management | of the bridge, but the bridge itself is| wanted, and in the words of the pop- | ular phrase, “has got to come.” At{ the recent hearing in Hartford the| unanimity on that main issue was re- | markable, and the differences in the| matter of detail did not affect it in the least. Speaking of this decidedly unusuaj concurrence of opinion, the Ansonia Sentinel says: “In the Tecent hearing at Hartford over the plan to build & state bridge at Lyme there was no opposing voice. For Governor Woodruff was one of who spoke in favor of the project, and he also advocated impos- ing a tax on ‘foreign’ automoblleg us- ing the bridge. This plan met with prompt _opposition from formey Gov- ing he opposed Mr. Woodruff only at election time. Mr. Waller Is quoted as having said: ‘1 don't believe that my {rier.d, Governor Woodruff, wants to urge a small, pleayuna measure to “soak 1t” to the tourists, who leave nothing but goed money in thelr wake whenever they blaze a trail across fhe state. No, sir! Don't let us be meaw. If. however, ,we can't get this bridge without being mean, then Fm in fa- w of being mean.” Knowing the feel- ng of automobilists towards New Jer. -y, there are few who would lke to have Connectlcut engender the sume feeling. It is not probable, however, the tol] system would beseontinued many years after the bridge is completed."—Bridgeport Standapd. Couldn’t Be Sworn. Bunau-Variila predicts a bad break in the Gatun dam.
