Judge Mayer called attention to the fact that conditions are different today from what they were when the dissolution of the New Haven system was ordered. Thé cowntty has undérgons many changes and so has the rallroad in question. In comparison with the road that it was back in 1914 it 1s hard to recognize it. it has certainly expérlenced hard times and during the period of government op- ergtion and since thére has been an op- porfunity to appreciate that oértain re- straints which wers belleved to bs nee- #stary for the rallroads were unjust. There is such a thing as régulation and it Is possible to carry it point where it stranglés. well says that “Congress, through new transportation act, has shown tendency to regard Intérstate carriers as & broad problem and thére has appear- 4 2 distifct belef that rallroads are governed by business conditions as well as other corporations,” and thérs can be mothing but commendation for his decision, which as he points out refiects that broad mindedness that is being fol- lowed In similar cases, AS to the legal right of the road to have the represen- tation sought there was apparently 1it- tle question. In the opinion of the at- torney general of Massachusétis it 1s en- titled to it. The decision is one that should aid the raliroads in improving the railroad sTtuation In New England. The Boston & Maine iz a large feeder of the New Haven and the closer they can work to- gether In a legal way the bettér it is going to bs for the transportation ser- vice and thé roads. to the Judge Mayer m RESTRICTING BILLBOARDS, Many commufities in their efforts to improve the appearance of the town have énacted ordinances for the elimi- nation or rexulation of conditions that were found to be detrimental. One fight that seems to have accomplished excel- lent results was against the habit of covering everything along the roadway with wooden and tin signs directing at- tention to a raft of articles and rais- ing havoc with the otherwise good ap- pearance of thé countryside, Simllar movements have been inaug- urated against the oftendipg billboards, and particuiarly where they were so plaoed as to beécome a detriment to ad- jolning property. Results in this direc- tion are not all that have been asked for but a good start has been made and from time to time mors citles are estab- lishing regulations restricting their size and location. Springfield 1s one of the latest cities to take action relative to billboards and under the ordinance which it has adopt- ed it is provided that thers shall be no billboards erected more than five feet in height and elght feet in léngth and the base ‘of the board must be at least three and a half feet abové the grade of the stréét. All boards and signs within the firs limits of the elty must be of fire- proof material, and éxcept for the ad- vertising of the buslness of the coreern sccupying the bullding nothing but elec- trical signs can be placéd upon or above the roof of any building. Likewise it Is provided that no billboard, sign or othér slivertising device may be placed within 300" feét of or visible from the certaln main approaches to the ety or nery street in a residentlal séction. The penalty for tha violatlon is a fine of not more than §100 and it may be in- creased to $500 ¥ the violation is éon- tinued for a certain time following con- viction, It has béén demonstrated that resi- dents of a city have rights in connsection with other nuisancés which have devel- oped and It view of some of the flag- rant cases it it not surprising that bill- boards have had to bé put In mich the eame class. Likewise public safety fas to get consideration. [ —— IGNORING BAFETY MEABURES. Tn view of the fmany fatalities which have occurréd at raliroad cromsings it is not surprising that englheers, wheth- er théy havé figured In fuch affalrs or not, should give expression to their feelings regarding the Way in which many users of highways which cross raliroad tracks absolutely dlsregard the dangér at such a point &nd Invite too often the untimely énd that is found there, An engineer of long sefvieé writing to an Indiana motor publication sdys: I feel that we enginsers have as much right to ignore our orders and messages th reference to mééting points and slow orders ovér bad tracks, a8 the mo- tor car drivér has to ignore safety signs along the highways? Thén what would you think of the motofist who 6t only ignores & r>d lanterh in the road, but who as often as nét gets out of his car or truck ahd picks that réd lantern up and carries It away with him " ‘While the idéal solution of the situa- tions are being given better safeguards is to meeting in a sensible way the con- ditions that exist, give proper attention ‘The alternative therefore, while comll‘ to the danger points and heed the sig- rals and warnings that are establish- ed in the interest of saféty.

There is a responsibility which highway cannot wisely ignors. Taking chances when death is liable to be the result is not profitable or semstble. THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. The caucus of the republicans for the selection of a city ticket developed the Interest and enthusiasm that should meéan victory at the polls. In the selection of Charles H. Ricketts as candidate for mayor there is pre- sented to the electorate of the city a man of the highest standing, a man who cannot fail to appeal to all con- Sc intlous voters regardless of party, a man in whom the utmost confidence can bs placed and a man who, if elected, will carry integrity, dignity and good Judgment to the post of chief executive of the cits. It is to be noted that thé contest for the chty if the party desired. The con- test has shown the preference within the party by a substantial majority, and In keeping with the attitude of the leser in maFing the nomination unanimous it is expooted that the contest will end with the caucus, and that the unusually large dieplay “of Interest simply gives an in- dicati:ni of an increased interest in city affairs and foretells the party strength that can be expected on the = fifth June, For the remainder of the ticket, both for members of the council and for city officés erminendable selections have been made. Experience and ability are bound to be recognized by the voters who are insisting upon the best in the wiy of an administration of city af- fairs, and coming as it does at a time when Norwich has an opportunity te §tlll botrer municipal business by the sdoption of a new chartér, good and suf- ficient reason for an outpouring of re- publican voters at the city election furnished. ———— TROLLEY RATES, The decision of the public utllities commission upon the petitions from va- Fluus cities of the state seeking a redue- tion in the existing trolley fares indi- cates a disposition on the part of the commission to act in accord with condi- tions that exist. Better cgnditions are being experl- enced by the trolley lines because of the economies they have put into effect, low- ered expenses and lower raetes. The Connecticut company for the first time In several years seems to be showing a balance on the right side aftér paying all bllls. This is gratifying in a state where many miles of trolley lines have had to be abandoned and where there has beén dariger of many more going to the junk dealer,but it doesn’t provide good and sufficient reason for ordering thai trolley fares be returned to the rate prevaliing before the war. There \s nothing to prevent petitions being made for that purpose but such petitions have to be judged in accord with tlie facts as they exist. Because the trolley lines are more than meeting expenses doesn't wipe out the deficit that was incurred during the war or méet the taxes which have not been pald to the state, It doeésn’t appear that the linés are as yet making an un- Justified profit under the prevailing fare. That the earning will improve is not only expected but to be hoped. With the summer coming it is to be expected that there will be much more travel but the lines certainly need the benefit that will accrue theréfrom and the sooner they get it the quicker will there come the time when the public utilities com- mission can wisely direct a reduction in the fare rate. Because the Connecticut company has its head above water once more doesn't warrant the taking of steps that will im- medlatély plunge it under again. There must be fair play and the commission 80 decides. Improved conditions and better business will hasten the day when the fare rate can be lowered again. How great the improvement is will determine the amount of the reduction and wheth- er It will be wise to return to the nickel in one or two cuts. of is e ————————|th? numination was not between men who sought the office but men whom the THE NEW HAVEN DECISION. office sougit They were ready to sme] EDITORIAL NOTES. There is an appeal in Mothers' day which few people are disposed to over- look, Minnesota has had its first sunstroke and though close¢ to the middle of May New England is still shivering.

It would bring in an era of wonder and amagement. It is a well known fact that in uni- versity towns and eities there is an un- dercurrent of hostility between the citi- zens and the students and sometimes the | faculty. It does not come to en open rupture except on rare c § :sioms, but it exists nevertheless in the shape of an unfavorable mental attitude. It is net easy to say just where the fault lies, but probably honors are about even as to the blamé. Young men of the ecity are apt to be envious of the exclusive social life of the university, and students possibiy are more or less snobbish in their atti- tude toward the towns's people. To real- ize this hostility, one has only to 'sit in a barber’s chair in a cellege town to hear everything university-wise flayed into shreds. The university baseball team is nothing but punk from piteher to right fielder; the last Boat crew was the laughing stock of the state. and as to theatricals they're not In it with grem- mar school boys. The only thing that will save the college will be a post-grada uate course in a barber’s shop. There is a loud call today for original- ity. The man who can bréak away from beaten paths and bring forth sométhing néw that {8 worth while has both fame and fortune awaiting him. Painting, sculpture, music, poetry, fiction, the drama and the motion plcture are offer- ing great rewards for new “thrilis” that shall have both muscle and brain. Mag- azine editors are constantly saying e must have bettdr stories.” They are not forthcoming because we are satisfled to be.a race of imitators. The time was when ' thé schools frowned upon original- ity. Prof. Charles Hodge once said: “I thank God that Princeton never originat- ed-an idea.’ The other day a great Princeton graduate Wwrote: “In the churéh everything is so standardized that every minister must be like a Ford car. A prophet is not a standardized machine; is hand-made, made by the hand of thé Most High. If we are to aid in the coming of the prophet, conditions must be cre- ated favorable for his appearance. Most spokesmen are simply phonographs repro- dueing standard records. The need is for originality.” As these lines are written the chief side issue with mgny men—and not a féw women—is gardening. The conditions are unusually favorable for this delighi- ful pastime, if such it may be called. The bright, sunny weather has enough zip in the &ir to furnish the necessary tonie for hard work. The high winds may be dis- agreeable but they are overloaded with vigor. The absence of rain has dried the soil until it is light and fluffy. Quite apart from its. healthfulnéss, gardening is, or ought to be, a great econdmifc fac- tor in our national life. We not only have a big dcreage but a big population. As far as eatables are concerned, all the nations live from hand to mouth. No country produces enough to keep it alive for two comsecutive years. Somewhere there js a famine every year. Suppose all available land in the United States was made to produce for & single yvear, would it not lessen this frantic cry of hunger that we hear constantly? There is always a market for stable products. Let us be greater producers. It was well to have, early in this month, 2 time designated as ‘“clean-up week.” ‘We need to have such a perfod to dispose of litter that will accumulate during the winter season. We finG rubbish in our back yards and front yards, on our lawns and in our gardens, in ocur attics, cellars, dens and parlors, and most unfortunately in the cells of our brains. It is well to have “clean-up week” for litter within as well as without. I wonder if most of us do not clog up our minds with a ot of rubbish that is not usable. We read al- most everything today the majority of which does mot strengthen us for the present nor build for the future. If we could look into our minds we should be just as much ashamed of ourselves as wée ought to be when we look into our back yards. The inside rubbish pile is a8 un- healthy as the outside. Not unfrequently does one hear slur- ring remarks abeut ‘foreigners” which leads one to inquire just who “foreign- ers” are. Does It refer to the late com- ers from other lands in distinetion from the early comers? Or does it refer to all except the native, born?” Chauncey M. Depew once said that “the only na- tive Americans are the American In- dians.” There was a time, and not so far back, when the English were the only foreigners tn New England, and they dld the bulk of manual labor. The Dutch did the same in the middle Atlantic states. In time other peoples came here and did the drudgery. As eachk became prosperous he stepped up to a higher level and gave place to someéone else who needed to labor at manual toil. What would we highbrow Americans do with- out Poles, Italians and others to do the kind of work we weré only foo glad to do once? 1 admire.the thrift of thess peoples who are building homes for them- selves by dint of working overtime. They are not so effeminate as to tremble be- fore the terrors of a ten hour day. AM honor to these men of brawn Who are not afraid to use it. There is nothing the American péople like to do more than to pay tribute te thos¢ men and women of intelligent en- Tgy who bring things to pass. A typi- cal man of gréat administrative ability has recentiy been called to his reward. I refer to the late Cyrus O. Northrop, who for 37 years was president and president- emeritus of the University of Minnesota. It was hot so waich the length of his in. cumbenc; its quality that has glven him a national revutation as an edu- cator. Dr. Northrop has earned his place among the great presidents of American colleges. When hé went to Minnesota in 1885 he found a school of four buildings; when he retired they had grown to 56; in 1885 the faculty con- sisted of only 30 teachers; when he re- signed from active duties 27 years later the teaching force had increased to 450, and the number of students from 223 to more than 6,000. That in itsel speaks of his managing capacity in the opinion of the university’s constituency. While the eminent services of Dr. Northrop in the cause of education ere fresh in our memory, one fs reminded of another great and good man whose work in the fleld of learning has ' been far- reaching, but overshadowed by his great reputation as an evangelist, and that is Dwight L. Moody. The two men weré otherwise unlike: Dr. Northrop had al- ways moved in academic cireles; his professorship in Yale was as brilllant as his presidency of Minnesota. Mr. Moody was not Hberally edueated, but he founded at Mt Hermon and Northfield institutions of learning for boys and girls that will vie with the University of Min- nesota in material growth and moral and intellectual expansion. The work of Mr. Moody has never received its due credit along educational linés. Had he béen less of an evangelist we would the educator. 00 per cent.—more :x:i?“mm In mb it 2:‘ o Pk Wi b AEpeRds np- on_the re on _of pdu on. Now, m Wy ik Soven ke s have added about $6,000,000,00¢ to fil‘ total annual tax bill in thess Unitéd States. If you put the snntial national produétion at $50,000,080,000, it is pos- sible to calculate At once that taxation aceounts for at least twenty units out of the sbnormal spresd with which we have to deal. The more of these units you can efim- ‘inate the nearer you bring the cost of eommodities to the consumér into line with the réturn to the ‘producer. If you st bring thé two costs into close ap- proximation of their old relation, we shall, not tot menlion other groups, re- duce our agficultura population to the Status of the Buropean peasant. The only real hope of attaining that end, that I ‘can ses, is thé elimination of ‘wastes, not only in production, but in digtritution. It is & problem of industry ln “the group or mass. There lfes the real hope of re-establishing the lost economic bal- ance in the United States. Every econ- omist realizes that. Take the case of the seventy klnds of bricks reduced to seven. Hach 2 thousand brick works might be S ically considered imMividually, but the in- dustry as a whole was wasteful bécsuse it was wasting thme, eneevv capltal, storage and material in nlking s many different models of brigks.

A larger example of the general prob- lem of simplification llés in the effort of the railways toward standard dimen- sions of cars. The elimination of wasteés of that kind are important, but they are small éom- pared ‘with some others. Take the pres- ent labor waste of two ‘pr thres million idle men, or the waste at times flow- ing from purposely réstricted effort. It is one of the most fearful wastes that can come to us.

It is a conscous har- mony with God, a surrender of every sep- arate will and interest, a participation of the spirit and life of the universe; an entire concord of purpose With its Infinite makér. Humah nature has néver lost sight of this great end. It has always sighed for a reposé in which enérgy of thought and will might be tempéréd with an all-pervading tranquility.

A natlve of Michigan, and éducated_in the east, he was privileged in youth to tour the ocean, quite under conditions of ecomfort and leisure. See- ing much of the harbors of the world, and their modes of handling traffic, he began a comparative study of the same, the résults of which he tried to make known to New Yorkers during the years following his return. Finally, to make concrete what he had been teaching in the abstract, he secured a 200-acre site on the Brooklyn waterfront, and began the creation of harbor terminals and storehouses. The plant he erected is tinequaled in the world, including move than 100 warehouses, many plers, model lofts and industrial buildings and 200 manufacturing establishments.
