An effort is to be made at the com- ing s on of the general & as- sembly by the State Automobild asso- ciation to secure the enactment of leg- islation which will require the placing of lights on all vehicles at night. This is being backed by the automobilists because they are the chief sufferers at the present time from the lack of lights on vehicles. Obliged to be light- ed at the front ard on the rear, the automobile is well guarded against its kind, but it receives little or no warn- ing from teams until they are come upon suddenly in the wark. How the legislature will look upon such a law remains to be seen, but it is apparent that while it is not neces- sarily to be guided by the wishes of the automobilists alone, it must be aware of the fact that such a precau- tion is in the interest of all concerned. Many owners of horses never go out in the evening without placing a light on the wagon, especially when the trip involves a drive into the country, and this was done long before the au- tos became so numerous. The pyoposal that the legislation be adopted’ is in the interest of safety, and in this there should be a general co-operation. With a proper inclina- tion to aid in this keeping down of accidents the best results can be ob- tajned. It is perhaps as wise to have every vehicle lighted and doing its part to avoid collisions and accidents, as it is to place that duty upon a portion of them' because the motive power varies. THE SHORT SESSION. ‘When congress convenes next month for the short session which may last until March, much business of a rou- tine nature will be before it, such as providing for the conduct of the sev- eral departments, the passage of the usual pension bills, and what other legislation that can be put through. There will be, for the first time, the opportunity for consideration of a pational budget. This is the business plan of operating the government's affairs on a system like which ‘any municipality or business house would do, The idea of a budget simplifies the situation and gives everyone the ehance to understand the financial op- erations. It means that the president and his cabinet shall answer three questions, namely, How much money will be needed for the conduct of the gevernment during the vear beginning My 1 next? What money is on hand, apd from what source is more expect- e8? What shall be the amount ap- propriated to each function performed by the government? Never before has there been any such basis by which to conduct the nation's business. Estimates are now secured in a general way, whereas the importance of getting them in definite form is apparent. A budget has long been needed. Président Taft’s stand in that behalf has received widespread endorsement and is in keeping with hig stand in behalf of conducting Unecle Sam's business in a businesslike man- ner. Being a good thing for a small business, it is all the more needed when expenditures run up to a billion a year. MR. WILSON’S ATTITUDE. In declaring his hostility to tariff boards and commissions, Mr. Wilson can be expécted to take a different course for arriving at the proper basis for the adjustment of the tariff ques- tion than his predecessor. Instead of going ahead on the grounds of estab- lished facts and conditions, it is about in the dark and be moved by theory. With such tariff experts to guide him as made the fight in the last gathering of congress, where their tar- iff bills were advocated as a matter of politics and not business, he has an Interesting problem refore him. It is possible ‘that little ~‘tention is to be given the data h the tariff board has secured, Mr. Wilson is quoted ‘correctiy in the statement which credits him with declaring that the tariff lias " cen under investigation Ire « all that can be learned ise all was not known that ba, for the proper revision ariff, that the board was cre- Partisan slashing by guesswork m the basis of conditions existing rg ago is not going to solve the veat question of the tariff. There are inequalities in it which need ad- Jjustment, but there must be a guide for such action and the basis for that can best be gained from data bearing upon such matters.

' The rules have been greatly improved and still more ad- vance is expected in the effort to over- ‘come unnecessary roughness. The New York Evening Post makes a suggestion that “it ought not, for instance, to be possible for charging players to knock down some of their opponents in the backfield yards away from the actual play. Indeed, the question is whether the next forward step should not be to take another leaf out of the Rugby book .and make it impossible for the interference to precede the runner. This is one of the radical differences in the two games, so radical that the suggestion of the change will doubtless meet with little favor at first. Yet it is a subject about which there should There is a growing beljef among the more conservative football men that some move in this direction must be made ere long.” Much of the roughness which oc- curs in the backfield should be elimi- nated by coaches and officials, but it is difficult to see what progress a run. ner is going to make when he #s de- prived of his interference, unless he strikes one of those lucky holes now caused by interference. How he is going to get them otherwise is a mys- tery. Such a change would mean the entire remodeling of the game. THE BUREAU OF EDUCATION. ‘While the establishment of the bu- reau of education by the government, a veritable clearing house for the dif- fusion of best results and experiments in education, has long been recognized as a long step forward in this country, it is not alone confined to national limits. Canadian educators are im- pressed with the facilities for educa- tional information in the United States. The bureau at Washington is considered by Dr. David Soloan, prin- cipal of the Nova Scotia normal school, as one of the best and readlest sources of information about the schools of Canada. Other educators have paid similar tribute to the wisdom of con- gress. After speaking of the history of education here as illustrious, he says: “It has saved uncalculated mil- lions to educational effort merely through its punctual record of each and every educational enterprise, every attempted reform, every individual in- itiative. It has prevented duplication of experiment, reported educational progress in foreign countries, sifted statistics and from conflicting reports gathered the facts the leaders of edu- cation in America need to be certified of.” Education is international. No mat- ter how local and national certain of its problems may be, the fundamentals of education are identical in all civil- ized countries; and it is surely worth knowing that in this international ex- change of ideas the United States bears no small part. EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘Whatever it is that is keeping Mex- ico quiet, let it continue. The relief is appreciated. Yale's color will darken as the gravity of its overwhelming defeat by Harvard sinks in. China cannot afford a war at the present time, but it is keeping up ap- pearances wonderfully, Happy thought for today: Lucky f the squawk of an auto horn doesn't indicate the driver's temperament. ) This is the season when the farmer does more worrying than the turkeys over their getting enough to eat. Matters in Nicaragua are quieting down. Uncle Sam administered the proper remedy in timely and effective doses. A New York crook was caught ‘with a reversible outfit of clothing. This is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde up to the minute. The arrival of the American war- ships Is usually the cause for cessa- tion of hostilities. May it be so in Turkey. The progressive headquarters in Haverhill has been raided as a gam- bling joint. My! How the mighty have fallen! A New York woman jumped seven stories without injury. It's time to give her credit for doing something different than a man. It was a generous response which the children made to the call for con- tributions for the poor, and it will be devoted to a worthy cause, Vincent Astor will have plenty of time to study these Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations so that when he feels like it he will make no mistake. Heroes, school teachers and ex- presidents, Carnegie has his own ideas about doing business, and he ev- idently has in picking favorites. He certainly is original. If Mr. Carnegie’s offer stirs congress -] to action it will have accomplished its object, from the veiled opinion in- cluded within it. It is safe to say the pension will not be $25,000, however. After having fixed matters in Cali- fornia so they would win, it is rather disheartening for Hiram Johnson’s fol- lowers to get into such an election mix-up with chances of losing. — Although this state has indicated a willingness to develop New London harbor for ocean steamers, Montauk Point is not forgotten. There must be something attractive about that loca- tion which will not be downed. i, & el The possibility of the Morgan art collection going to Hartford is about on equal terms with the ocean liners going to New London. The fear of the loss of such things is apt to get quick and proper action in New York, Now that the American hens have everything their own way as to egg prices, it must be rather digconcerting to have the English Leghorns come over here and demonstrate their su- periority as producers and upset plang, even though it be only for a week. - ' Massachusetts and Rhode Island are very much interested to know how there is going to be any recompense for the time and efforts put in by the legislatures in getting through the oharters for the Grand Trunk exten- sions, if the New Haven-Grand Trunk agreement is signed. Maybe there'll' be no core, i, ‘Whenever anything needed manag- ing, Mrs. Dickey managed it. Some- times she just managed it anyhow, quite irrespective of the wishes of anybody concerned. So it was entirely in the nature of things that when her nephew, Geprge Belimere, came to reside in her fam- ily she should start managing him at once, George was beginning to work in his Unele Dickey's office and was amenable to suggestion and discipline, as a smart young man who had gnan— cial hopes should be. \ Mrs. Dickey did not like George's wardrobe in the least. She admitied that it was plentiful, but she said it was not stylish. “What you should do, George," she | told him after watching him unpack, | “is to go to a tailor who knows his | busiress, I'll ring up Phipps and make | an, appointment with him for you to-| morrow.

Her husband ed for a week's vacation. At the end of the week George came back with a very pretty, young little wife. “I had to do it, Aunt Emma,” he told that capable manager. “You nev- er would let me explain that I was en- gaged to Alice back home and I didn't ee that I had any chance of stopping the mad rush to the altar you had ar- ranged for me up here, so I ran away while there was time.” Mrs. Dickey was game even in de- feat.

If a man who has lost touch entire- ly with churches, who has formed his life with interests that entirely ex- clude the religious feeling, who feels that there are insuperable obstacles, mental and instinctive, to his entering into the. current of conventional relig- jous ideas and ways, if such a man | would go out into the woods and pray, it would do him good. If he could brush aside all he has ever heard or been taught about God, and if he could approach the God idea anew, naively, merely striving to lift his spirit into communion with the in- finite Spirit, he would get something | that would definitely enrich his life. Most of our aversion to the God idea arises from the mass of tradition that has been connected with it. I doubt if the accumulated religious experience, the study and practice of spirituality in the past, is of much real value. What value it has lies in what it has contributed to our sub-conscious growth. Just as modern science has to dis- card practically all the alleged facts of science previous to a hundred years ago or so and approach the laws of the universe originally, so modern de- votion needs, while it is a growth from the past, to put away nearly all the past, and begin over.
