The last resort by the directors of the New Haven road to effect a peace- ful adjustment under justifiable terms with the government for the dissolu- tion of the New Haven-Boston & Maine merger has resulted in a fail- ure. It has brought forth a refusal to delay a federal suit and been fol- lowed by the president’s support of the department of justice in its de- termination to proceed. Regarding the manner in which the stockhoiders of the New Haven sys- tem have been made to suffer by the past operations, the Brooklyn Hagle says: “Isn’t it about time for a change of tufie? Isn't it near time that there was action calculated to promote rath- " er than to sacrifice the interests of those who have been plundered? “If the stock of the Boston apd Maine must be sold, let the sale come under such conditions as will involve minimum, not maximum, sacrifice. To send the stock to a sort of auction room, where there can be but one bidder, may add robbery to robbery. To threaten dissolution as the only alternative to further sacrifice may harmonize with some theories of equity or justice, but to those who read as they run it looks like piling confisca- tion on confiscation, or Pelion on Ossa. Let dissolution walit. It looks like a propitious time for holding some souls in patience.” A great hue and cry has rightfully beén raised over the manner in which the money of the New Haven road was made to disappear into thin air by the directors of the system. Many mil- lions were involved but there seems to be little more justice to the stockhold- ers In forcing the present road into a sale which means the loss of ten mil- lion dollars over what it would amount to In the open merket. The opposition is not to dissolution, but to the unfair terms which have been imposed by Massachusetts and which the government is supporting. FIGHTING THE RATS. Por the purpose of fighting the bu- bonic plague and exterminating the cause of the dread disease the city of New Orleans is at the present time under quarantine and is being scoured for the destruction of the rats. This ifivolves a large expense and no smail amount of inconvenience to a busy city, but it is necessary if an epi- demle is to be prevented, and though the number of cases which have de- veloped is small they are sufficient to <all for ths exercise of every effort ent their increase. which are found upon rats it ly attention given to their destruction at ,othér times. There is no known good which the rat does. It is the comstant cause #reat losses outside of the danger a plague distributing agency and more might be done for the ben- cities at all times in keeping the number, { . New Orieans has been forced to take and it is going to report some the cost of its experience. It fylly understood that the cost # health movement can get ondary consideration, but sight cannot be lost of the fact that there is a great amount of good which can 55;:: T & Many cities as well as New Orleans can get a lesson from this if they will. Such would mean not only pre- ventfon of disease, but a reductlon -in the cost, FORCING A CANDIDATE. One of the great,cries of the pro- gressives has been aguinst the phek- ing of candidates for office by the ! party and the advecacy .of the “for. the overcoming of. . wrongs.and repiscing it in the ®hands of the- ¥ on_it is impossible to overlook Mncnm played by the of leadess selative is | e, ., Y8t in this con-. te the pro-) u into the fleld, to pick their own candidates. There is no reason to doubt but what the progressives of New York state know Sulzer and candidate under another party bamner, if is a sufficient commentary upon their judgment. EDELSON HUNGER STRIKE. Inspired by such success as it has resulted in, the notoriety and adver- tising which have accompanied the hunger strike and forcible feeding in England, Rebecca Edelson has taken the alternative’ of three months in jail instead of furnishing a bond to keep the peace. Not only does she dis- closeé her Intentions of continuing her programme wheneyer opportunity per- mits, but in the meantime she expects to bring greater attention to her cause &hd to weaken the enforcement of the.law by her actions. In this it would appear that she has reckoned without her host for hunger strikes and forcible feeding. followed even by commitment to criminal in- sane institutions are by no means unknown in the institutions of New York, though they have not been brought into the limelight as in Lon- don, The whole matter calls for a sen- sible and rigid handling of the prob- lem. There is.no sympathy due such people and no such threat to provide the corpse for a martyr's funeral is going to amount to anything. It will cause some inconvenience, but chiefly to the striker, for the putting into use of the forcible feeding rests sole- ly with the Edelson woman. It would without doubt meet with widespread approval if she refused good food to let her go without, but the plan which has been followed and which will be again if mecessary precludes the pos- sibility of any serious resuits and is sufficient to counteract any expecta- tion of showing up the feebleness of the law. CANADA AND THE HINDUS. Canada has not faced a more deter- mined immigration problem than that presented by the shipload, of Hindus anchored in Vancouver harbor. where for the past two months they have been making a persistent fight for admissfon to the country. Nothing in the way of decisions, insuits or force has succeeded in swerving them from their purpose, it having required a fleet of small boats to prevent them from getting ashore. Because of the many questions in- volved the outcome promises much of interest and the end is not going to be reached by the driving of the ship from the harbor. Canada draws the line at the Hindus as the Australians already have, even though they are from another part of the British em- pire and entitled, as they have been frequently told, to the claim of Brit- ish_subjects. Differing from Aus- tralia, however, Canada does not bar the Chinese and a particularly agira- vating incident to the Hindus, just at this time, is the admissiop to the do- minion of a shipload of Chinese while the smaller party of East Indians was kept out. Canada appears to be suffering from its none too firmly estabnsheq immi- gration laws. Even though such ap- peals may have been anticipated, it was not unt{l some time after the knock at their very door had been made, that a -decision upon the matter was ob- tained. It is a pretty kettle of fish in which Canada finds itself and from which it is having trouble and a les- son in extrication and preparation. EDITORIAL NOTES. Baseball seems to be getting into a class with coal mining and railroad- ing. Aeroplanes are multiplying rapidly but they haven't struck the gait of the fiies. The time is ripe for Mrs. Pankhurst to have all of her at home dayvs at the Holloway jail. The young man who committed sui- cide on his return from a vacation must have struck some awful bad weather. Weeds are looked upon as a nul- sance, but they are a great thing for position. Not a few have given up all thought of meeting meat prices. They figure they are doing well if they get within sight of them. One of the Towa state platforms calls for voting by mail. That probably wouldn't msjce an appeal to the army of stay at homes. ‘The man on the corner says: Once in a while vou find a fellow who builds his theories on the basis that facts are stubborn things. When a ship captain finds that a monkey makes a valuable sailor, he should recollect that the handorgan grinder couldn’t get along without one. ,The southern man with a family of seventeen seeking an auto to take them to church ought to have arranged to have had a minister in that happy group. el AR e If the president desires to learn con- ditions in Mexico now, or soon after Carranza takes hold, he should not forget that George Fred Williams is available. - Mississippl has a law making the tip giver and receiver subject to a fine, and yet some people seem to think they can do as they pléase with their money.

The first point to be judged was that he did not print and publish the papers and the nvext that they were libelous.
