The automobile horn could be made musical as well as the whistle of steamers and great manufacturing es- tablishments and there is every rea- son why it should be improved in tone and peed with more discrimination. The comstantly tooting horn, as the Ansonis Sentinel Intimates, is the an- noying evidence of a fresh man at the wheel. A well-seasoned driver never acts lfke & child with a new play- thing. He doesn't honk at the pedes- trian, the trolley ecar, the railway train, the vagrant dog or mischievous gamin. He honks as he meets & ve- hicle and honke as he passes one. It | 1s not honk, honk, honk on the crowded street and honk, homk honk on the country highway, He doesn’t make | himesif & procession of discordany noise. | The greatest nulsance in the hands | of & tyro s the sirem horn which In & prolonged screech sounds like the yell of a human being or a beast in agony. A more head-wrecking, nerve- spiitting sound could not be invented; and it would not be tolerated on ‘a lo- comotive engine, a steam fire engine or a manufactory, and why should it be permitted to be the plaything of fools regardless of its effect upon the community? The law ought to prohibit a few horns and regulate the public use of all the other: CITY PLAYGROUNDS. “The suggestion of Mayor Landers In his annual message that a play- ground assoctation be formed in New Eritain 18 a good {dea,” says The Her- ald of that city, “and one which is receiving much consideration just now, At present the work is under the direction of the Woman's club at the Burritt school and by the mayor himself on his own property on Win- ter street, which, by the way, he has offereq to the city for playground pur- poses. The work Is now carried on satisfactorily, but it Is being done at private expense and that cannot con- tinue, The value of playgrounds is well established and their care and management ought to be under the direction of an association operatir in harmony with the school board. Tinder such an arrangement the work could be easily extended. There are & number of cities in this country which are expending large sums for playground purposes and all report that it is a profitable investment.” The municipal playground is & ne- cessity, and since vacant lotg are to be had for a small rental in every district In a ¢ity, there is no real reason for neglecting to provide Such & place for the police-hpunded boys who play ball in the streets and ac- cidentally ‘break windows and do other injury to private property. Our boys are not more than half as bad as they seem, and considering the general lack of interest in their individual welfare it 18 surprising that they are no worse, The man who forgets he was a oy once and makes himself a menace and @ nuisance to all the boys in his neighborhood s not expected to en- dorse anything of this kind; but the man who realizes that the better boy is to make the better city and the greater country does not hesitate to approve it. THE AMERICAN BOY. It is doubtful if there is another such lively and Ingenious boy as the American boy, for it is not strange for him %o get out a’ patent before he Is 20; or to invade the stock market and ' #hake thousands before he cam vote. He s & hustler, and in his experi- menta] work with the wireless telegra- " phy he has of late been annoying the | government, and Is doing 50 in every icoast state along the Atlantic. One | of these Dboys distinguished himself the other day, as the story runs, as one of the coasting steamers was on er way up the Atlantic coast the S wireless operator became i1l and was iforced to leave his post. A 15 year old i boy, who was a passenger on the ves- 1 Bel, volunteered his gervices, saying he S8 had run a station of his own in the i yard of his Florida home. His Soffer was thanktully accepted, and the ittle operator more than made good, " This is where the boy who had run " a‘wireless plant in his back vard had me efficient enough to have taken ok Binns' place had the opportunity tred. The American boy may seem be a nulsance in his Impetuosity ol | price that is to pay for a petty, in- | inal cases against “unwarranted” exploiting *of -sci- but he is & great success in an growers and fanciers, and some of the offended citizens get into a great rage over it, while others take it more phil- osophically. A western man, who had his flower bed wrecked in a night sent this card for publication in the local pape “To the person or persons who gath- ered and destroyed my tulips and hy: cinths last night, | have this to sa; ) am very sorry for what you have done, but it will be a far greater in- jury to you than to me, —If you have @ particle of respect for yourself you cannot pass my place or see me but you will think of it. . | trust that no one will ever be mean enough to treat you in the same way.” There 1is burning truth in these words. This conduct makes a sneak of & person because he s conscious of his own meanness; and what a defensible act. The man who consid- ers the cost of such conduct to him- self would regard the price as being too high. No doubt many of these people have a deep feeling of shame and sorrow over their thoughtless depredations. SIDE 1SSUES IN LAW. The last issues in the Thaw case show that the wealthy are not only mulcted by attorneys at law for the defence they make for criminals; but also for the dameging facts which they get suppressed. It will never be exactly known how many thousands of dollars have been expended in de- fense of Harry Thaw, but the latest issue shows' that they expect liberal pay for every kind of service. One of the attorneys for Thaw s suing ‘the homicide's mother for forty thousand dollars, which sum, he claims, was expended to suppress facts about the slayer's ordinary behavior when at large which were calculated to bring the family name into disreputs, And on the other hand just imagine what a legal sleuth with money might bring out in the way of evidence to show that the victim in such a case richly merited the @ntimely and dis- gracefu] end to which his alleged con- duct brought him. There are a lot of side issues and extra charges when these great crim- the rich are being tried. EDITORIAL NOTES. There s no mistaking the fact' that the letter carrier sings sweetest when his pouch is light. The person who gets a cald from an electric fan is too tender to risk himself abroad of nigh: The doughnut has been found to re- semble the law, since almost every law has a large loophole in it. This old earth quakes 2,500 times a month, but they are such little ones that we do not mind them. The vacuum sweeper has changed the spring housecleaning from a night- mare, to a plcnic for the nervpus hus- band.

An Indiang woman, who has mourn- ed the loss of ten husbands, is now all ready to enlist again for life or until widowhood. King F has three suits of clothes for every day in the year, and he is not the greatest or wisest man of his times. yet Norwich does not make so big a gure on the map as Boston, but she is just as dear to the hearts of her song and daughters. lose their head iIn peach-basket hats, and some when nd comes home late at night and inot find the keyhole. .

There is no doubt that the Devil is a large speculator in real estate thers, any- way. Adam did not have a monument erected to his memory; but his fel- Jowmen are In no danger of forgetting him. He did eat when Invited, and most of us do that. It is more than probable that most of the women who decline to remove their hats at public entertainments are married, for single girls would hardly dare to be so openly obstinate. Miss Wright has gone to school- teaching again at Dayton, Ohio, after she has traveled abroad and been in- troduced to the royalty and nobility. Bhe is an American sovereign, sure. A Richmond policeman, found drunk on his beat, was fined $150 and repri- manded. That is an mprovement on glving him a chromo and telling him noti to do so again. Laurel Club Takes The Laurel club of Connecticut, composed of the newspaper corre- spondents at the capitol, at a special meeting last week passed resolutions of regret and sympathy on the death of Selden C. Waldo, son of Mr. and rge C. Waldo of Bridgeport, who represented the Bridgeport Stan- dard in tbe legislature of 1905 and 1907, | Coming to Postal Clerke’ Meeting. A speelal from Washington, D.

Farm Talk All “Rot.” Now that ‘Bwana Tumbo” is away in Africa, a little more liberty than usual is being taken with some of his pet projects. “Uncle Joe” Cannon de- clares that the country life commis- sion s a flat fatlure and that the re- port it compiled is pure “rot.” There are a great many people who never saw either “Uncle Joe” or “Bwana Tumbo” who came to the same con- clusion 'ong ago, but to “Uacle Jos™ belongs the distinction of putting the thing in circulation. The country life commission project was a theory pure and simple, and there wasn't a member who knew any more about the practical work of farming than thousands upon thou- sands of those engaged in that pursult and some not even as much, and their report contains nothing that every sensible farmer in the Country did not know before.—New Britain Herald. Virginia the First. Virginia is the first of the confeder- ate states to take definite steps toward erecting a memorial at Gettysburg. A state commission, headed by the gover- nor, is in charge of the plan. Since Gettysburg is on northern sofl, the southern states have regarded it as a local rather than a national possession and they have quite properl- devoted themselves to marking southern bat- tlefields and southern scenes of historic interest. But all the states whose men gave their lives at the crucial contest of the avar might well honor them- selves by monuments at Gettysburg. Alleghany Real Mother’s Day.

A Defectlve Law, Joseph Parsons of Lakeville writes to the New York Times to say that the Connecticut automoblile law Is defec- tive In that it fails to put a limit to the speed of a machine when passing another. He says the rate should be placed at 15 miles an hour. With this provision he thinks the Connecticut law’ would be nearly perfect, ‘“but without such provision it becomes al- most Impossible to prevent the dis- comfort and danger of rapld passing. This {s the real and cruclal point at which the public as well as sane mo- torists wish protection.” Getting the Jacksons Mixed. English collectors greatly prize what they call “the Stonewall Jackson” set in copper lustre. When in doubt as to finding the original, they will be great-, ly alded by remembering what one English “authority” tells them, that Stoewall, Jackson was ~one of the confederate generals in the American army during the war: of 1815, and showed his prowess during the success- ful defense of New Orleans. He after- wards became president of the United States” Guided by this nice derange- ment of epitaphs, it will make no aif- ference to the collectors that the given name of the General Jackson to whom the set is dedicated was Andrew.
