Nilan of Amesbury, who has been appointed bishop of Hartford to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Tier- ney, stands high among the Protest- ants as well as the Catholics of Newburyport and Amesbury, where he has rendered comspicuous service in promoting temperance and in aiding the poor. The Rev. James D. Dingwell, of the Main Street Congregational church of Amesbury, pays the following tribute to the bishop-elect: “As a minister, he has proven the truthfulness of that word of the Mas- ter, ‘He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.’ Faith- ful consecration to dutles small and great has characterized his spirit as a perish priest, both within and without his_church. “As a preacher he combines with eplendid oratorical powers, a heaithy practicality in thought and an open, virile personality. As a man and cit- izen he has been both brotherly and patriotic. Amesbury’s loss is Cennec- ticut's gain. In a church that must have bishops he is the type of ‘man who will adorn the office, for he will ever be a servant as well as a ruler. I trejoice in his advancement. I am sorry for the parish which has lost so good and wise a shepherd.” Joseph W. Creasey, a well-known business man and a classmate of the new bishop at the consolidated high school of Newburyport in the early seventies, says of him: “He was an exceptionally bright scholar. well remember how he ex- celed in Latin and was a winner of school prizes both for his papers and his oratory. As a student he was ex- ceedingly studious and at the same time popular with his schoolmates.” The Rev. Father Nilan's selection is most pleasing to the Catholies of Con- necticut as he comes bearing creden- tials that he Is a worthy successor of = bishop who was beloved for his man- hood and his piety by people of all denominations. LOOSE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LAW. City Missionary Mossman of New Haven appears to be justified in his criticism of the county commissioners of New Haven county for the manner in which they are issuing licenses, ir- respective of the aim of the new law to decrease the number in licensed communities in this state to one saloon to each 500 of the population. In com- menting upon the case, the Journal- Courier says: “Of the 25 saloon keepers to whose petitions for a renewal of licenses the City mission ‘offered objections, 20 plainly violated the liquor laws, and were duly fined by the court. The re- maining five cases involved clearly en Immoral use of the saloon.” This definite statement shows suffi- clent cause for the city missionary’s protest and his argument that “the in- tent of the new law evidently fs that a saloon keeper who violates the li- cense law shall thereby lose his li- cense and that the license shall never be reissued either to him or to any other person, He has committed license suicide. The license is dead: it can- not be revived, and New Haven should have just as many less saloons as there are lawbreaking saloon keepers.” This 1s the interpretation the New London county commissioners put up- on the law and they are living up to it, backed by a live and healthy public sentiment. It looks as if New Haven lacked the public sentiment which aids public officials in doing the right thing. A STATEMENT AND A HINT. President Taft in his Washington day address In New York pointed out that the new tariff is working satis- factorily, and that the deficit of $7 000,000, in whnich will be included $38,- 000,000 expended on the Panama canal, will be cecnsiderably reduced. The president also sald that “by meeting the expenditures of the Panama canal with the proceeds of bond issues, we have enough cash in the treasury to meet the deficit .in our ordinary ex- penses for the current year, and if we meet the expenditures on the Panama canal for th following year we shall have a surplus of $35,000,000; or, if the revenue produeing capacity of the new tariff keeps up to its present in- dications, this surplus may be in- creased to $50,000,000. On the other hand if the congress proposes to add to the expenditures of the government over those estimated for new enter- prises in the river and harbor bill, and for the construction of federal build- ings under a bullding act, it will be very easy to consume or exceed the entire surplus” This allusion to the open door of mational enterprise and extravagance, within which resides the political horse-leech, which cries . “More! More!” and 1s never satisfied, is well put and timely. This is where sur- pluses may be eaten up Yor centuries, if care and economy are not exercised. A St Louls minister made a critic of his wife and when she couldn't lis- . ten to his sermons with patience or give him a new idea, he threatened to strike her, o she thinks that she is entitled to a divorce. A New York broker, who had so little manners that he put his hat on in the supreme court while it was in session was flned $10 to teach him leverydny respect for the dignity of the law. Springfleld, Mass., has reached a condition whefe a tax of $28 on the 31,000 will be necessary for several ars. She may be on the way to high, low, jack and the game.’ The Ohio State Journal thinks it is about time to have one congressman to each 50,000 of the population. This isn’t a bad idea, but it will be found to be a d@ificult reform. ¥ ‘The Charleston News and Courler says they raise jackasses in Arkansas :a:;uaoxmma.umm.. u they did they wonld keep them DOESN'T WANT A CURFEW LAW. The Worcester Gazette does not think that a curfew law is any more creditable to a 20th century commu- nity than a whipping post, and it op- poses a blll now before the couneil of that city. The Gaszette is of the opin~ jon that “there are quite enough laws already extant to give the boys and ‘girls of Worcester such protection as their years demand; quite enough laws to reach and punish degenerates and quite enough to safeguard the moral welfare of the cornmunity. All that is needed to bring desired resuits is the enforcement of the laws. This depends upon the police, spurred and backed by an insistent public eentiment. Laws or no laws, the morality of a com- munity never rises to a level higher than the ideals which that community maintains, - “Worcester is too large a city to re- vert to a Middle Ages custom of the curfew sort for the purpose of getting a few handfuls of children into their homes at seemly hours in the evening. The enforcement of such a law would be practically impossible because par- ents in general would resent the pat- ernalism which the city pretended to assume. In the hot nights of sum- mer, on the occaslon ‘of band concerts and at other times when there were large open air gatherings at night, the police would have a most lovely time in attempting to enforce this proposed law.” The Gazette’'s sane way of looking at this subject is certainly impres- sive, City ordinances that cannot be enforced are of no value; and too much law is the bane of all govern- ments. The enforcement of the laws we have is far better than adding another pretence to a list of false pre- tences. THE WORST ELEMENTS, The day has come when the strike should be outlawed as well as the heartless and overt acts upon the part of the representatives of capital which provoke them. These labor contentions and days of idleness give the disre- specters of law and tough and ignor- ant prejudiced portion of a great city’'s population the opportunity to indulge in criminal rashness and murder which is really indefensible’ Philadel- phia today is in the midst of a strike which has resulted in a score of deaths and the sending of 1,000 persons to the hospitals, to say nothing of the reign of terfor which menaces the safety of property and life in all parts of the city. It is not right to charge to organ- fzed labor all the rascality and crim- inality which is marking the conduct of the r:op there at the present time; as an exchange says concerning pres- ent conditions, “it is the result of the rotten government and the rotten poli- tics which Philadelphia has tolerated for years. Respect for authority has gone. The rabble that runs the streets has no interest in the issues at stake between labor and capital. Had the city suffered earthquake shock or con- flagration, that mob would have as- serted itself, if unrestrained, just as flercely as now, only through the chan- nels of rapine and plunder. “That Philadelphia has not taken vigorous steps to curb her rabble, is an indictment that she lacks the sense of righteousness in her government that gives strength to preserve law and order. A government which had in the past treated its people as they should have been treated, would hot falter now In treating that mob as it should be treated. And a government conscious that it had done the right thing In the past would not now hesi- tate to treat that mob to a few charges of grapeshot. The sewer rats would scuttle to thelr holes; not a dog would bark.” ¥ There is nothing like orderly and re- mpectable government if the aim is to sustain high standards of living, and to make security permanent and such iconditions as these in Philadelphia impossible. EDITORIAL NOTES, It looks from this distance as if a strike in Philadelphia came too near to spelling anarchy. Not only a wife may reach her hus- band through his stomach, but so can every civic society. A holiday in the rural now simply a lapse to conditio to free rural delive Spring is on her way, but old winter will loiter inf her lap in the old annoy- ing and idiotic way. The question, Do we eat too much? is obsolete. The conduct of the trusts has made it impossible to do so. A cigarette may cause an explosion in a powder mill, but a tack has been known to eause one in a schoolroom. “What makes a mayor?” is answered in the south thus: “Sometimes a ring; sometimes votes; and sometimes both.” Cairo, Ill, appears to be ambitious to establish a worse reputation for itself than Brownsville, Texas, can’ boast of. Happy thought for today: Medical advice to travel for his health is never given to the man of large family and scant means. What Is whiskey? is a poser. Those who are most familiar with'it feel sure that it will require a volume of words to properly define it.
