A BEA UTIFUL NLW HAVEN.

We print elsewhere in today's issue
of The Journal and Courier the CORE
spondence which has passed between
George Dudley Seymour, representing
the subcommittee having in charge the
preliminary steps in the movement to
make New Haven more beautiful
place of residence, and Vice President
STcHenry of the New Haven Railroad
company with regard TO the proposed
improvement Of the railroad cut by the
building of attractive bridges. The
matter was brought to the attention of
the committee on the City Beautiful ly
The Journal and Courier, whose appre-
tensions had been aroused by the
threatened sideboards to the new
bridges, which if adopted would be
sure to make these new structures in
geniously hideous.
The correspondence is in itself both
Interesting and suggestive Mr.. sey-
mour's letter shows his clear under
standing of the artistic possibilities and
his enthusiasm in behalf of any under
taking which is likely in any way to
add to the physical beauty of the city
1T further gives the assurance that the
gentlemen who have been appointed
by Mayor Studley to consider the elab-
crate plan Of Mr.. Seymour for the CEN
ter Of the city are equally alive to the
Importance Of building artistic bridges
over the widened cut. So that so far
as they are concerned there is no delay
to be considered. Vice-President Nc
Henry's letter suggests two things
which should be kept we'll in mind in
further urging the railroad company to
do all that lies within its power and a
little bit more to aid in this general
movement. He virtually places upon
the city of New Haven the responsible
ity for the high sideboards which make
the bridges hideous. He also hints
strongly that it will not be a long
time before the trains running through
New Haven will be impelled by cleo
tricity when the city's objection to
smoke which scares h9r;e5 will be elm
inated. Then, too, there will be fear of
the bridges becoming stained with
smoke and SCOT if the side copings are
made of cement.
There would not appear to be here
any really vital objection in the way
of the kind of bridge being built which
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1907-07-19

the committee on the City Beautiful
has in mind. It is yet to be demon
strated to the satisfaction of the aver
age man that high wooden sideboards
to the bridges are necessary for the
safety and comfort of horses and driv-
ers. 1t is almost inconcelvable that any
mischief should be done by ornate cop
ings in place of these absurd fences.
Nor is it conceivable that the injury
done the cement copings would be such
as to warrant delay In their
construction. In other words there
would appear to be good reason for
believing that the committee and the
railroad could easily reach a conclu-
sion If the city authorities would yield
their position on the subject of high
side fences for the bridges. The first
step should be for the Board of AL
dermen to repeal the ordinance Iequ!r-
ing that those bridges shall be five feet
high 1t is dollars to doughnuts there
after that the controversy, il it can be
called controversy, will settle Itself
according to the up-to-date views of the
City Beautiful commission. The ship of
State will sail all right when the decks
are cleared Of useless legislative freight.

4 PITTSBURG PROBLEM.

Pittsburg has big food problem on
its hands, and it also has a big smoke
problem on its hands and on its faces,
too. The Jones and Laughlin Company
is one Of the largest of the independ-
ent steel corporations in the country,
employing ten thousand men and hav-
ing its furnaces on one side of the
Monongahela river and its mills on
the other. From the record of recent
proceedings taken against the company
to restrain it from allowing the ennis
sion from Its furnace stacks of dense
volumes of smoke and Of ore dust, 1t
appears that the ore dust Is carried
over very large extent of territory
within and without the limits of Pitts
burg, settling on and in the homes of
thousands, seriously damaging furniture,
carpets ana other household belong
ings, destroying vegetation, killing
trees and in general operating as a
most trying nuisance to the residents
within the territory affected and seri-
ously menacing health.
The Supreme court of the State, on
appeal, found the facts to be as alleg-
ed against the company and directed
an abatement of the nuisance. It is
conceded by all parties interested that
the company has been put to heavy ex-
pense in efforts to abate the nuisance
and that there has been a dimlnution
Of emission of ore dust and smoke, but
not an abatement. Recently proceed
irgs in contempt We're Instituted
against the officials of the company for
failure to abate the nuisance, and tbs
President, B. F, Jones, Jr.. was fined
5000, with each enc of the directors
fired in the sum Of $780,
Now an appeal has been taken from
the order imposing the fines, and tht
officials of the company say that i

nE1rHER DEED NOE DYING.

These are busy times, but thank
goodness sentiment is not dead, or even
dying. It can, it appears, exist in the
same air with much money, A New
York millionaire who has journeyed to
his Indiana birthplace has purchased
the old barn door on which he carved
his initials in his youth, and ordered it
Grated and sent on to the metropolis,
where 1t will be set UP in his mansion.
This is both touching and cheering,
and We hope to see the example of the
tender-hearted New York millionaire
initiated. There are cellar doors still in
existence down which great and rich
men have slid, and there may even be
shingles lying around with which they
have been spanked. Anyhow, shingles
with which they ought to have been
spanked can be discovered. Let the
cellar doors and the shingles be proper

NOT ENTIRELY ENCOURAGING.

That is curious and not entirely
encouraging suggestion which Is made
by the Minneapolis Bellman, The Bell
man wants to see Governor Johnson
Of Minnesota nominated for President
by the Democrats, and it processes to
believe that the negro question is the
coming ISSUE This issue, it goes on to
say, imperatively demands permanent
and wise settlement, on basis fair to
the decent negro, but above all giving
absolute protection to the white race.
1t Is the habit Of northern statesmen,
both real and alleged, to beg the ques-
ton and shelter their convictions be-
hind the convenient bulwarks of mean-
ingless platitudes II Governor Johnson
or any other acceptable northern DEM
ocrat should electrify the political and
social world by pronouncing in favor
of the point of view of the intelligent
and responsible class Of the South,
nothing could possibly prevent stam-
pede in his favor at the Democratic
convention. The southern delegates
would irresistibly overwhelm all OPP
position to such nomination, and
with the solid South back of him and
the support Of the large, If silent, north
ern element which is opposed to negro
dominance in the South, the candidate
would certainly stand on a twentieth
century issue with an excellent chance
of winning.
This scheme looks a little shrewd, but
perhaps it wouldn't work exactly as
the Bellman expects it to. Henry Wat
terson and other leading southerners
are crying Back to the Constitution!
but perhaps they and their followers
wouldn't think it very wise to go any
further back to the negro question as
political issue,

IN EXTR EATE CASE.

That Is sad news which comes out of
Lawrenceburg, Indiana, where Harry
G. Laws, a school teacher, has been
declared insane and will be sent to a
State institution in the hope Of restor-
ing him to health. When Bryan was
first candidate for the presidency
Laws was one of his most ardent ad-
mirers, and for several years devoted
himself to the study Of economic ques-
tlons. In order to assist him in the
work he undertook he memorized all of
|Bryan's speeches and writings. He was
soon able to repeat speech after speech
without leaving out a word. 1t was
soon noticed that he was repeating
Bryan's speeches to imaginary audi
ences, and investigation showed that
his mind had given way.
This Is an extreme case, but the
minds Of many men have been serious
ly affected by Bryan's speeches. Some
of them seem to be getting over the
damage, but they may never be just
right again.

1t continues to be hot enough for
most people, but It is not yet hot
enough for the Connecticut legislature.
1t can neither be frozen out nor heated
out. When Washington gets warm
Congress, the leading legislature Of the
country, will find some excuse for go
ing home. But the Connecticut legisla-
ture will not wilt. Perhaps it thinks
it is heroic and is sticking to duty as
nobly as the Connecticut legislature did
on the famous dark day." If that is
the idea it has the misfortune of being
unappreciated, or misappreciated. The
people don't consider this legislature a
very heroic one, though they admit
that it is "a slayer"
Some of those now living will prob
ably see the adjournment of this legis-
lature. Perhaps. one Of the reasons why
Methuselah lived so long was that he
was bound to stick it out as long as the
