In his address to the state busine men upon The State and the F Man, Governor Baldwin could have easily avoided reference, to the rail- road situation if he had so desired. That he chose to give a prominent | place in dealing with his subject indi- cates the importance w he at- taches thereto in its relation to the business men in particular and the entire commonwealth in genera It is one of the vital questions New England today Speaking from the saying of the wise man that there is a time to break down and a time to build up, the gov- ernor pointedly remarked concerning the efforts to pull to pieces the great transportation system “I wonder if} we shall be mora efficiently served by the fragments than we have been by the whole. It will call for some build- ing up. The company is under the control of new men. is pursuing a new poltcy. The time for that road's breaking down has passed and the time for building up has come. T us look to the future now the past. Let us face the er than the setting sun It is the manner in whic mon good is wrapped up in transportation question whic it of much importance to all necticut and all of New Engl this plays .such a necessary 1 the everyday life of th! of the | country that it cannot be overlooked. flecamsa mistakes have been made | is folly to stunt the business of the | future in attempting to deal with er- | rors of the past which have heen re ! ognized and which have resulted n the adoption of a mew molicy. Now | what is needed to stand by thel reformation. | BETTER SACRIFICE TIME. In the opinion of Senator F¥all of | New Mexico there should be no ai-| ternative. He has no pa with | the policy *which is being pu by | this country in relation to Mexico. | There are unquestionably a great|® many others who are disappointed in | the results of ‘“watchful waiting” or| think that it is not accomplishing all that the situation calls for, but | they rightfully hesitate about urging | the administration to declare war or | send an army of intervention o Mexico. Increased resentment of methods has been caused by the deaths of Benton and Vergara, but a3 the New York Herald maintains “There should alwars be a way of such situations. Indeed there must be a way out. No persons except the sordid individuals who h Mexican out e large property interests in Mexico . desire | intervention. Intervention is a tre mendous and soul-racking undertak- ing as has already been shown by former President Taft. It is no time to listen to the beating of the war drum! It is no time to give heed to those excited individuals whose pocket nerves are hurt and who de- sire the United States to send 150 of her sons into Mexico to ru risk of death in battle and in hes tents!” i Tt is ali well enough to say send| an army into Mexico and straighten | out the deplorable state of affairs and | imagine that it can be accomplished as easily as it is being said, but a realization of the consequences of such a step is sufficient to warrant the exhaustion of every other method though it may require somewhat long- er for the course to prove effective. We can better sacrifice a liftle time than thousands of lives. PROFITING FROM EXPERIENCE. There is cause for satisfaction that the courtries in southeastern Europe are once more gradually undergoing readjustment and resuming peaceful conditions after the long period of conflict. Whatever indications were given of a resumption of hostilities ness, the release of which is not like- ly to be accomplished in a short pe- rod of time. With Greece having just completed negotiations for a $100,000,- 000 loan to meet part of its war debt, the plight of HBulgaria is readily reec- ognized What might be its attitude if it were not for the debt and demor- alization is another question, but it is 'perhaps a fertunate thing that it has been brought thereby to a realization of the value of peace. Eulgaria not only received a valuable lesson in the second Balkan war, but it is appar- ently gaining wisdom each day through the tremendous cost which any war imposes, lin comparison with the chances which are taken. ENCOURAGING SUCH ACTION. It is a sad predicament in which England finds itself when it is unable to protect property against the des- tructive attacks of militants. Each demeonstration calls for better en- forcement of the law against such crimes as are being committed, but it is the course which is being pursued which is giving the needed encour- agement to the outrages. The destruc- tion of public buildings, churches and art treasures. some of which it is im- possible to replace calls for the up- holding of the laws in a manner which will put an end thereto. It is not by the display of weakness that discour- agement will be given to such insane activities. It in fact the very treat- ment which the militants have re- ceived, or failed to receive which has failed to a check upon their senseles It was with high glee t the wo- man who slashed the costly painting in the British museum bragged that she had been before a magistrate ten times and that not only could he do nothing to her but that he must go through the farce of discharging her. Had the crimes in which she had taken part been committed by one of the opposite sex punishment would have been dealt out copiou The manner in which England has handled the militant workers has been ing rather than a discouraging met od.

He said the house was so hot that one could fry | eggs in it simply by breaking them on a window sill, and he wanted to know whether I put all the winter’s sup- ply of fresh air in storage when I took out my furs in the fall. Then he burst out with the plan to run over to our Michigan bungalow for a week end and get a change, “The fact that the place was en- tirely shut up for the winter, that the living room was filled with parch screens and hickory porch rurm[ure and that all the fixings were packed away presented itself to him as a mere trifle.

When I reached into a box for a tablecloth I found a mouse’s nest. There were chipmunks’ hoards of nuts in the veg- etable dishes and in the pocket of the kitchen apron that I put on. “It took three hours to get dinner, because neither of us knew how to burn coal in the cook stove. Henry had an awful lot of exercise racing | around from the kitchen stove to the living room fireplace and on to the little hot air stove in the hall by the bedrooms. When he got the living room thermometer up to 50 he was se proud that he boasted loudly. He sald his sweater really was too hot for comfort and how foolish the peo- ple had been who refused to come with us. “After dinner we gathered around the fireplace and tried not to see each other hunching our chairs along al- most into the ashes. My face was blistered from heat and I know there were icicles on my back hair. There was a solid wall of ceold closing in on us from the rear, while Henry told how he was going to*chop holes in the fce the next day and fish. He said the driver reported that one man had recently caught 500 speckled bass in one day. Then he was going to snowshoe and get some exercise. “We delayed as long as possible because the fireplace was so much more attractive than the space be- tween there and bed. At last shut ting our teeth and breathing hard, we did a south pole dash and reached the sleeping quarters. Never shall I forget Henry's yell as he struck the sheets. It was a ombination of the wails Kundry gi in ‘Parsifal’ and just plam alarm and disgust. Henry explained that the sensation was similar to the one he had once when he broke through the ice while skating and was @ not fished out for twenty minutes. “An owl was hooting off in the woods and there was no moon and the snow looked positively ghostly and I remembered all my sins and life seemed uninviting. Then just as was sinking off to sleep 1 heard a sudden dreadful noise. I screamed and jumped two feet—I thought it was a bear and that it had got me! ‘Henry was mad at me for scream- ing, because all he had done was to give a short gruff bark to clear his throat. “The fright woke me up so com- pletely that I didn't get to sleep for hours and when I did get to sleep that was when I froze my nose. “All the fires were out the next morning and the thermometer was simply grovelirly, it was down so low. was so exhausted carrying logs and forth to keep up his three fires that he resembled a rabbit. By noon he facturers of sheet iron have formed an coal and ashes that he said he guessed we'd better take the afternoon train back to Chicago and cut our visit short.
