It was an unwise test of ideas, witich were not only un- profitable to those whose money was involved, but wiere fllegal under the existing laws. (t is unfortunate that such a policy could not have been checked before it advanced to its lim- it, and before such vast sums of money were permitted (o vanish into thin air. The lesson hasi already been suffi- cient for the present management and the future of the,system is bound to be along vastly different lines. Such has been indicsited following the changs and it has the confidence of the people of NewfEngiand.

Even though the revelations hawe brought forth many costly surpritses, there must also be & certaim amount of profit, RAILROAD ‘CRO‘SINGS. these death traps without flagmen throughout the country where lives moval of many, incinding the worst, each year through the construction jof the highway either above or under the railroad tracks. It results in a| marked dimfnution of the number of grade crossing fatalities. While the only thing to do is to reémove suchs crossings, it is neverthe- itted to do as they please, and aS|jess s fact that too little responsi- they would regurdless of theé protéction which it is Jought to give, amounts to little of nothing. Theé violators are the ones against whom the laws are dirdcted, those in fact who make néw legislation neécessary, and they, like the rest, should be made to observe the provisions. Those are pertinent questions which have been asked by “Sportsman” con- cerning the duties of the officials re- specting the fish and game protec- tiofl. The task of the game wardens, it must be realized, is not an easy one, but such only increases the respon- sibflity of accepting such appeint- ments. The creating and filling of such offices amounts to nothing un- les# the laws are to be upheld. Where no attempt is made to punish the vio- lators or to keep down the breaking of the law, theré is no incentivé to obédience to the law’s dictates. Tt is just the same with the fish and game laws as with all other restrictions for protection or for safety, just so long as there is inactivity upon the part of the authorities violations become thé rule and the law & farce. 1f fish- ing and hunting are to be restricted for ome, they shouM be for all, and thoe who are vested with the author- ity should enforce such restriction and give the honest sportsman a square ded, CHANGING CONTROL IN MEXIGCO. A great many hopes have been aroused by the declarations which have been credited to General Huerta that he was about to resign the pro- visfonal presidency of Mexico, but néfie more so than by the last an- notincement from Mexico City and the mafner in which it is proposed to turn ovér the control. Whether it comes about through the abdication of Huerta or by the con- quést of the city, the constitufional- isté are destihed to control. From thé success of their campaign and the stréngth of their forces, it is tmpos- sible to check their advance. All that! reMains to be determined is how the inévitable shall take placé. The ef- forts henceforth should be devoted ta thé prevention of needless slaughter and the sacking of cities. Mexico has | alféady felt thé sévers effects of such waf accompaniments, and now, with thé knowledge that thé énd of Huerta’s cofitrol is néar, the best contribution which can be made to the good of| México is to arrange for the delivery of theé capital peacefully instead of tollowing a bloody fight. The rebels are firm in their insfst- enée upon a surrender, which is not to be expected directly from the crafty Huérta. That he should resign in fa- vor of Cabajal ought, however, to open the way for the eéarly surrénder of the governmeéfit {6 Caffanza and his forees and the setting up of a govern- ment Which would gain the recogni- tion of this and other nations, a re- quirement which the recent history of that republic shows to be quite neces- sry to its stability. HAITI AND SANTO DOMINGO. The ordering of seven hundred marines to Haiti causes no surprise i view of the unsettled stats of ar- feirs, both in that country and Santo Domingo. It is dificult to tell in which republic they are going to be needed first, but it is a wise provision which places them at an available point for any emergency which may arise where needed protection for life and property would be required. Though entirely precautionary, it has been portended for some time, The unrest in that island, coupled with the financial conditions has given this éountry coneérii for no . little time. bility is assumed by the drivers of vehicles wheén approaching and cross- ing raflroad tracks.

The hilis around Marstham shook beneath the mighty vibrations of a new ex- plosive born to civilization. It had been discovered by Alfred Nobél of Sweden and its experimental tests made in the preceding year. Nobel created it to take the place of the untamed nitro-glycerin which had appalled the world for several yeats with ite grim tragedies. Thé in- ventor had lost his father and a brother when his nitro-glycerin factory had blown up a few years before his discovery. Its death toll was such that England, Belgium and Sweden forbade its manufac- ture. The world was aroused when as a climax to its record a ship loaded with nitro-glycerin blew up in mid-ocean while on its way from Burope to Chili, and the goveri- ment were on the point of prohibit- ing its use. It was then that Nobel began his experiments toward tam- ing nitro-glycérin— and created dynamite, or “glant powdet” as it was first calléd in the United States. In his world-wide propa- &anda to convince goveérnmen that dynamite was 4 sdfe explosive, tiie inventor came to America. It was while he was registering at a smail hotel in New York that ha casually exclaimed to thé hotel clérk that his satchel contained dyamite. The clerk firmly ordered Nobel to seek other quarters, and was relieved when hé went out of the door. NOW Today dynamite is being Jnanu- factured in the United States at the rate of 250,000,600 pounds a year. Filling 5,000 freight cars, it is con- stantly being transported over the rallroads of the country Though it is the third most powerful explo- sives in general tamed so that raiiread companies receive it for as readily as they do coal. giycerin, however, is etill under the traneportation United States amite is today one of the most im- portant factors in the progress of Without it the mighty engineering achievements Panama Canal, and it has been Europe.
