CIRCULATION 1901, average HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER. In the relinquishing of his office as he will do in accerdance with the ac- tion of the serate which confirmed the nomination by Governor Baldwin of | Engineer Charles J. Bennett of Hart- ford for state highway commissioner, James H. MacDonald becomes & sac- rifice to politics. His qualifications and fitness for the office have been recognized throughout the state, and are today, except by some who place politics higher than the welfare of the state. One regrettable incident connecteq with the change f§ that the political strife led to the bringing of charges against the work of the com- missioner which lacks 'confirmation or Proof, and in which the retiring offi- cial is given no opportunity to dis- wrove them. For seventeen years Mr. MacDonald has dome magnificent work as the di- rector of the state road building in Connecticut. The system of roads which the state now has is the result of his untiring efforts. He has met and overcome conditions’ which would have staggered the ordinary man and the huge task, well done, stands to fhis credit. His experience has been of great value to the state and it has| ‘won recognition throughout the coun try. He was everlastingly looking af- ter the state’s interests as anvone who has had any experience with state road buflding knows. Mr. MaeDonald's _successor ~has shown himself a capable engineer, but e faces a hard proposition. There have always been handicaps in the S;:!hw“ commissioner’s office, and to ese more than anything else has een due whatever complaint has re- sulted. In justice to the new com- missioner from whom a good admin- istration can be expected, these hin- drances should be removed, and every assistance possible given to the bufld- ing of, not only good, but permanent PRE - INAUGURATION TIONS. Much has been said about chang- ing the date of the inauguration for _the purpose of bettering the chances for good weather on that important ocecasion, but little is heard about making any changes for the purpose of bettering the knowledge of the pres- ident-elect as to the duties of his of- fice and the many problems which he faces, hefore he enters upon his duties as president. Naturally the man who is selected to receive the honor of the office of president is posted on thany affairs of national importance and has his own ideas upon the sub- Ject, but there are many details con- nected with the running of this gov- ernment upon which he is not as closely informed as he might be. The . change involves but a short time and the president and his cabinet who are dn closest touch with all the import- gm situations step down and out, and INSTRUC- new president and his cabinet take heir places. to pick up the duties and handle the conditions as best they can, from what they have been able to glean in such study as they can make without beinz put directly in touch with the problems. The time between the election of the president and his inauguration could be profitably spent in getting instructions either through the re- tiring’ fficials or the senate, not for an infigence upon the coming admin- istration, but that a familiarity with the duties might be gained. This would prepare the president-elect for inauguration day respensibilities and Zive him the chance for gaining ahead of time what he must seek for the next several menths. President Chamberlin says he be- Yeves the railroad from Palmer to Providence will make money. Tt wouldn't be wise for Rhode Island to guarantee six million on a propo- sition which wouldn't make money. When the chairman of the demo- cratic campalgn committee from the Philippines declares against the in- dependence of the islands it is time to believe the president knows what he is talking about, After a long interim New York s todrepeat Bostow's fumous les barty but this time the $20,000 worth of tea is &n inferior article, while Boston took the best they could find. Dr. Fricdmann' has spent @ great amount of time and effort in seeking a cure for tuberculosis. It isn't unlikely that he will be up against his hardest test in this country. England was anxious that we should That such a thing should be al- lowed to happen, more- than that it | did happen, is the cause for surprise in the case at Richmend, Va., where @ small child died as the result of being given medicine, - the preserip- tion fer which was telephomed to.the pharmacy. Investigation which fol- lowed showed that bichleride instead of mild chloride of mercury had heen understood by the prescription clerk. |’ who 1s now held for trial ¥ S The instances where death has r sulted from wrongly compounded drugs have been many and it has been found that too much care cantot be taken in the preparation of medicine. Laws havo been cnacted requiring drug clerks to go through a registered ap- prenticeship and pass the examinatipn of tho state board of examiners be- fore they can receive licenses as drug clerks, but evidently Virginia has nét previously found cause for enacting legislation against telephoning pre- scriptions. Where so much depends upon the consequences of right and wrong top much care cannot be taken. It is an easy matter to misunderstand Words spoken over the telephone es- pecially when they may, be phonetic- ally similar. This instance has dem- onstrated that it is far safer to carry the proscription to the drug store and trust to the proper interprétation of writing than it is to take the chance of a mistake in delivery by wire. MR. BRYAN'S POSITION. The course of William J. Bryan, who 1t has been long conceded will have a place in the next cabinet is going to be one of the interesting features of the coming administration. Mr. Bryan holds to his leadership in the party tenaciously. He wields a wide in- fluence which has increased since the Baltimore convention and whether he will simply become a member of the cabinet or make of it a premiership will prove interesting. In sending a telegram to the democratic governor of Ilinois that the party there had better lose both senators than to com- promise on the short term one, The New York Post thinks “This may or may not be good advice, but what does it signify in regard to Bryan's fecling that -he is still the leader of his party Perhaps he thinks of this - an eleventh-hour op- to speak out in his old die- tatorial manner, under the elected leader of hfd parts One thing is certain. If he goes_ into cabinet, he will have to give up hadit of playing off his own bat. It will never do for him -to assume the role of arbiter of democratic dis- putes and final judge of party poli- cies. Those functions will \be an- other’s, after March 4, and that otBer has not left it in doubt that he in- ocrats a If Mr. Bryan has not vet found this out. he will do so later. Whether, Mr. Bryan will make or is going to be an interesting study in natfonal aftairs. His is a power which cannot.be ignored and it is bound té have its influence. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. How much the postal savings banks are meeting the need for such an fn- stitution Is indicated by the report Which shows that thera is now de- posited in the svstem a total of thir- ty-five million” dollars. This showing for the short time that the plan has been in operation indicates the con- fldence which the people have in this department of {te government and by reasen of its existence many millions of dollars jare kept in this country which othéfwise would be sent abroad. This is shown by the influence which it has upon the international order businws, where diring vear a decrease of twelve million oc- curred while the annual increase had Deen approximately seventeen million. It was not because those wase earn- ers who were in the habit of sending money abroad had worked under Foor- er conditions, for the year was one of unusual activity. Rather does. it indicate that instead of sending their | surplus abread throush the post office they have deposited it with the same | imstitution, where it will be available far their own Immediate use. , The postal savinzs bank h the element of safety over-anxious peorle co cate outside their own presence. and has brousht forth from the really insecure hiding places In hemes throughout the country many millions of dollars and the fact that but small amounts have been with- drawn makes it plain that it offers an| opportunily for saving which was not taken advantage of before. supplied | EDITORIAL NOTES.

New Haven, Feb. 27—Professor- elect Taft voiced his pleasure at com- ing back to Yale as & member of her faculty in a letter addressed to the college through the News this week. President Taft sakl, “I am coming back to Yale. And T am coming with a sense of gratification which, I dare say, few can appreciate who have nat had the privilege of being an under- graduate in'the dear 0ld university and then going out intc the stress and tur- moil of the world; for theif it is that one looks back on his cellege days and realizes their advantages and their ploasures and realizes them all the more keenly if they have been spemt &t Yale. § It s not without some misgivings that 1 have accepted a _profesdor's chair, not without realization of the fests’ which bright young men among | the seniors are apt to apply to one's knowledge of law, not without) the knowledge that far more than oz the bench is ome's ignorance and forget- fulness likely to be exposed.
