WATERBURY CONN.

IF the story was not so sad, it would be almost amusing to recall the imma- culate nerve of some of the projectors of the endowment societies. Men who had never reen able to add more than three figures correctly, set up as tinan- ciers and began to handle hundreds of dollars of other peoples money and they used it just as if it had been their own. It was a condition where every man could have his own insurance order, but the only insurance there was in it was for those who were in on the ground floor. South sea bubbles were real com pared with it.

THE United States government, which
 through the interstate commerce law
 assumes to some extent the manage ment of railroads, may find useful em- ploy ment in protecting trains passing over those roads from robbery. The patrolling of every mile of railroad from Maine to California, or so many thereof as may be necessary for the pur- pose, would not be more than should be demanded to secure immunity from highwaymen to trains carrying passen- gers and mails. While train robbers confined their operations to territories where civil government IS inevitably to some extent ineffective it was one thing It is quite another when, as in the case of the east bound express from Chicago Monday evening, they undertake to carry on their operations on the most busy of our great national railroad highways. There must be, at least there ought to be, law enough to make it pos sible to prevent such outrages as that. It is not enough that such robbers be punished if caught no penalty which shall have deterring effect upon others thus inclined is too severe for such of fences. But in addition to this let the
 strong arm of the government be sea- sonably interposed between would be robbers and the passengers and the busi- ness of highways in measure under government control, that such crimes may he prevented as we'll as punished
