income on the savings of life
time is often inadequate for a frugal

New York's Automobile Law.

The automobile bill passed by the
New York legislature at its recent ses-
sion has received the signature Of Gov
ernor Odell and Is now law. While
most of the owners Of racing machines
lnveigh against the new law, the ma
jority of those who use the automo-
bile for pleasure or business purposes
agree that 1t IL a good and necessary
measure.
Perhaps some Of the provisions Of
the law are stringent but it is neces-
sary that the safety of the public on
public highways shall be guarded, no
matter how stringent the needed law.
There is an especially emphatic pro-
test from the drivers Of red devils"
and white terrors" against the Sec
ton which provides that machines
must not traverse dam or causeway
less than twenty feet wide at faster
rate than four miles an hour. These
gentlemen must certainly have noticed
signs on bridges throughout the coun-
try forbidding the driving of horses at
pace faster than walk. How, then,
in reason can they expect to be permit
ted to dash across these structures at
high speed on heavy, pounding ma
chimes?
Other parts Of the law are vigorous
ly objected to by the racers among au.
tomobilists, but their protests will 20
for naught, as the public will back up
law which recognizes the rights of
the millions as against the wild pleas
ures Of a very few. There are excla.
nations Of horror at the thought of i'm.
prisopnent for repeated violations of
the law. The way for the fashionable
young men who fear such shocking
treatment at the hands Of the authori.
ties is to obey the law.
Other commonwealth where reck
less automobile speeding has become
a menace to public safety would dc
well to follow the example of New
York's legislature and governor.

The immigration Problem.

At the coming session of congress 1t
Is practically certain that an effort will
be made to get through a bill limiting
undesirable immigration into the Unit
ed States. 1t is promised that the
measure will have strong backing in
the senate as well as in the house. 1t
Is generally recognized that something
must be done to prevent the influx Of
undesirable immigrants. 1t has reach
ed such alarming proportions as to
give rise to serious apprehensions for
the future Of the country.
The immigration officials declare that
the present law is good so far as 1t
goes, but that 1t does not 20 far
enough. They also declare that the
immigrants now coming over are in
clined to stick to the cities of the east,
Joining the little colonies of their coun-
trymen, retaining the manners and
vices Of their old homes and learning
nothing Of ,ur mode of life. Farmers
are wanted, they say, and especially
farmers from the north Of Europe, In
GLIDING Germany, England, Ireland,
France, Norway, Sweden and Den
mark.

The Pope's Condition.

News that the Pope is rallying and
that recovery is not impossible is good
news because the world is better for the
life of every good man, and it is re-
markable news because of his extreme
age and the nature of the illness from
which he is suffering. 1t is probable,
however, that even the most optimistic
of his physicians and attendants do not
regard his entire recovery as probable.
Only his extraordinary vitality and
power of endurance have made possible
even temporary improvement such as
that which has inspired those who are
with him with the hope that he may yet
conquer the disease which has seized
him.
A simple life of temperance, goodness
and self denial has undeniably enabled
| Leo to stand up under great burden OF
labor and responsibility without under
going as most men DO the ravages OF the
passing years. Still it is well to remem-
Der that old age does not possess, even
in the strongest and best preserved OF
bodies, the recuperative powers of youth
and it will not be surprising if succeed
ing dispatches shall tell of relapse into
alarming conditions that prevailed day
or two ago. Intelligent and broad
minded people everywhere, irrespective
of creed, will hope that the improve
ment is real and permanent, realizing
however, that in the nature of things
the course of the remarkable life that
has SO long attracted the respect anC
good will of the civilized world, must b.
nearly run, and the parting of the way
is inevitably near at hand.

An exchange suggests, and with some
force, too, that year ago license men
were on the lookout for "jags" to help
prove that "prohibition didn't prohibit !
now the prohibitionists are playing the
same game and are using the Gags" to
prove that license is failure. 1t is a
pretty poor sort of person that can't
twist facts around so to prove to his
own satisfaction at least that his own
opinion is the only right one.

The Newport Express and Standard
quoted the St. Adams Messengers hint
that the Vermont hedgehog bounty law
is neat little gold brick game and says
"Correct you are When we are con-
WINGED that 1858 foxes and 6072 hedge
hogs have been killed in Vermont since
the bounty law went into effect, it will
be when we see the heads piled up and
counted. 1t is doubtful if the whole
State of Vermont contains that number
of these animals living or dead. The
hunter who at the present time catches
from ten to fifteen foxes in one season
is doing big thing. Yet look at Orange
county with its SIS foxes, Windham
with it's 574, and Windsor with its 1872.
Great Heavens advertise grand fox
hunts with horses and hounds thrown in.
Vermont would do rushing business.

our officials are honest, but we do think
that Davy Crockett and his coon skin

G. A. G. Jackson of Montpelier in a
communication to the Boston Globe
assumes that Carroll S. Page will con-
test the United States senatorship with
Proctor. He writes: In all the specu-
lation over the matter Page is an UNI
certain quantity. He is recognized as
hostile to Proctor, yet allied with the
same elements that Proctor represents.
On those same issues he would be
stronger than the senator because he is
popular, while Proctor is growing weak
and is losing some of his support. Page
is as shrewd politician as the senator
and as secretive. No one pretends to
speak with any confidence of his plans,
but every one familiar with politics
recognizes the fact that he will be in
the field next year and will be a
formidable antagonist"

The shipbuilding Combine.


The investors in the 30 called shEv
yard trust" are apparently not reals
ing all they expected when they put
their money into the United States
Shipbuilding company. After less than
a years existence the combination 10
forced to confess that It cannot earn
enough money to pay its debts. Va
rious troubles have been encountered,
but the main difficulty Is that the COM
pany finds upon re-examination" that
many of the constituent concerns were
making losses instead Of profits.
This significant statement is found In
the circular which has been issued to
the holders Of the company's bonds
and stocks: by reason Of the excess
I've mortgage obligations Of the Unit
ed States Shipbuilding company in
borrowing capacity and credit have
become SO seriously affected that out
standing notes are being pressed for
payment, and the making Of further
loans is rendered impossible"
1t is now proposed to reorganize the
company with a capitalization Of 49,
100000 instead Of Sos, 800, 900, as at
present. What the investors will get
out Of the reorganization remains to be
seen.
The principal public concern regard
Ing the incident is that It excites an
uneasy feeling that a determination
of a good many similarly constructed
concerns would disclose a like condi
ton of affairs.

happens all around the world. Aud the
press has become a commercial enter
prise. II Is here like many other things
for the money there is in il, aud its
success in that respect hinges upon its
popularity with the people. II IT fur
nishes what the demand is for its bank
standing is all right; aud the more red
letter headings, the more illustrations OF
the dark sides Of life as well as the
bright, the mole startling its subjects,
the more extravagant its statements, the
more numerous is its circulation, the
greater its business success.
II all this be true, then our idea is
that while there is as great capability
today in the editorial columns as former
", the subjects discussed are as all i'm
portant, and the consideration of them
fully as able, yet because of changed
conditions with the reading public that
is not what influences the world. Com
paratively few, outside the ranks OF our
selves, read carefully what we have to
say, or study at all the problems which
we present and from our standpoint at
tempt to solve. The great public cares
not to study our theories, or follow our
reasoning. We are not their teachers
and leaders in thought, as were those
who welded the editors pen generation
ago. Then the "Voice of the Press

President Butler, of Columbia college,
New York, in an address in Boston be-
fore the higher educational department
of the National Educational association
said some phenomenally wise things on
the fallacy of examining too much educa-
ton into young people, without respect
to temperament or adaptability. He
said in summing up:
1t is fallacy to suppose that the
more time boy spends in study the
more he knows and the more he grows.
Whether he grows by study depends
entirely upon whether he is studying
subjects adapted to his needs, his
interests and his powers. Pedagogs
suppose that the more time boy spends
in school and college the better; educa-
tors know the contrary. There is a
time to leave off as well as a time to
begin. A boy can develop intellectual
apathy in college as we'll as knowledge
weakness of will as we'll as strength of
| character.
