NOT A1L IN THE UNITED STATES.

All the enterprise on this continent
isn't in the United States, though we
may be tempted to think 1t is when
the spellbinders are doing their ap-
pointed task next year, Some of 1t
is in South America, and 1t has
cropped out in the city of Rio de
Janeiro in q surprising way. Awhile
ago the head men of Rio de Janeiro
became impressed with the idea that
the city needed rebuilding. So they
went to work In accordance with
that idea. The Mayor Of the town and
the committee associated with him
were empowered to condemn propet-
ty and to establish an equitable sys-
tenn Of valuing the property con-
demned. They took the returns in the
tax books and not the fancy estimates
of the owners of the property as the
basis upon which their settlements
were made. In the course of
eighteen months the Avenida Central.
mile and quarter long, was cleared
and paved, and the buildings upon it
constructed, lighted with electricity
and opened for traffic. The other
streets in the city have been paved
and widened, and whole districts Of
squalid tenements have been torn
down The whole city has been pro-
vided with a new sewerage system,
and 100000 has been expended in
model homes for laborers. The new
/ dock system of the town provides for
stone quay 10000 feet long, with a
channel $40 feet wide and thirty feet
deep, with modern warehouses and
apparatus for handling cargOes from

completed at a total cost of $4,000

scheme been ever favored by the
founders or could any other argument
be advanced In its behalf than the one
that it suits the selfish convenience Of
those who accidentally benefit by 1t, the
situation would require different treat
ment. AS it is those who most in
diligently deplore the condition
which makes for legislative slothful-
ness find it necessary to merely clamor
for a return to the original scheme.
The Luther commission suggestion
us really an impatient protest against
the condition: it is not cure for 1t.
The idea of annual sessions, though
1t possesses the merit of undertaking
to bring the government nearer the
people, offers nothing practical, even
with speed limit set on it, since
there would still remain that inordin-
ate power of the minority In order
to understand what Is necessary to set
up in the State of Connecticut in the
way of government a fair trial of rep
resentative government should be
made. Connecticut does not know
anything about It from the point Of
view of even It's oldest inhabitants,
and hence all schemes which are sug-
gested fall short Of conviction because
of our unfamiliarity with fundamental
conditions as they exist in other states,
with two exceptions.
1t is still to be remembered that the
cure for the ills Of democracy is more
democracy. To undertake to cure
them before the real experiment has
been made is to further complicate q
lsituation quite complicated enough
already Connecticut needs to be. led
into the straight and narrow path OF
reform.

IF,

If the Standard Oil Company ever
has to pay that little fine of S29, 24O, 900
there will be some surprise. So there
will be if Walter Wellman ever gets
to the North Pole in his airship. In
deed, some will be surprised If he ever
starts. But the talk is that he will
start from Spitzbergen with crew of
four men, With fair wind he expects
to find himself at the pole In one day,
Gains and contrary winds may extend
the time to half a dozen days, but
with unusual and tumultous winds the
party may have to descend to the Ice
and return on sledges drawn by picked
dogs. The aim of the director of this
airship will be to keep within a short
distance of the land or ice, so that
a landing can be made at any time,
and the airship is so constructed that
it will float on the water.
Airships do go nowadays, when none
of the many things that can happen
to stop them do happen, and it may be
that the calculations made concerning
Mr.. Wellman's airship have been made
$50 well that it will go, and go to the
North Pole. If it does Mr.. Wellman
will be so celebrated that he can well
afford to forgive all who have turned
Up the nose of unbelief at his enter
prise. It is called a daring scheme, and
1t will surely be that if it really dares.

public spirited to q high degree, and

as public officer Honest, modest,

by the people He was quietly wise
and progressively active He loved New

prompted him to fight for his country
kept him a true patriot and good

popular man, because of his kindly

MEETING A WANT.

Massachusetts is taking a proper
pride in her society for the protection
OF the legitimate rights of AUTOMOBILE
lists and the severe punishment of
those who are bringing the sport and
recreation into disrepute by their reck-
less driving and defiance of law. She
is also taking proper pride in the
fact that her society for these pur-
poses is going to be initiated in France,
where the automobile has long been
raging and doing vain things. In
France national legislation is to be Sc
cured limiting speed and placing legal
responsibility on drivers who main Or
kill pedestrians or those who use 9TH
e. forms of vehicles. The society also
win lend financial aid and furnish le-
gal support to victims Of irresponsible
notorers.
AS the situation is this is a good
idea. 1t is entirely true that reckless
Automobiles have brought all the au-
tomobilists into dlsrepute, and it is
also true that some Of the enforcers
OF the law against autonobllists have
brought themselves into disrepute. Sc
a kind Of heightened vigilance commit
tee formed by careful and responsible
automobilists seems likely to meet q
want,

som b LIFE nv CHICAGO.

Life in Chicago is an interesting
mixture Of city and country. Not
long ago q wolf was killed in one Of
her streets, and unfortunately it was
not the wolf whose habit it Is to ap-
pear at the door Of the poor. 1t was
a wolf such as has been made basis
for the stories of nature-fakirs. The
wolf was killed. But harmless, ne
cessary COW that roams around Chi
cago doesn't get killed. She gets
kindly treated and returned to the
home which her absence used to be-
reave before her owner discovered
how to keep her perpetually found.
He painted his telephone number on
her, and now when she wanders the
Chicagoan who finds strange COW on
his premises calls up the owner and
tells him about It.
A happy thought, Life in Chicago
may yet become so busy and compli-
Gated that a COW with telephone
number painted on her will not receive
the consideration she merits, but the
fact that such COW now receives
such consideration is pleasing, 1t is
more pleasant to read about this
cheerful and cheering Chicago COW
than 1t is to read about "the crime
wave" in the Greater city which semi
Gifted Chicago is audaclously ambiti-
Gus to rival.

UNIQUE CONGRATULATIONS.

recently sent Secretary Taft the fol-
lowing: Permit us to congratulate you
upon the endorsement Of the Ohio
committee. The same will be "rati-
fed" by numerous thousands of the
sons Of Eli throughout the Union.
The occurrence forcibly reminds us
of our old college song (the ode Of
Horace), Integer Vitae. A fair para
phrase of the same (for the Twentieth
century, might read somewhat as
follows:
He that is strong enough TO run the
race,
He that is big enough to fill the place,
Needs not the politicians arts,
Nor sharp resorts, nor Bosses darts;
He that is straight and without blame,
He gets there, Ell" just the same

A Suggestion to the Grange.

(Boston Transcript
Though agriculture has been eclipsed
in New England by manufacturing, the
great farmers organization, the Ma
tiond Grange is notably strong here.
This semi-secret, somewhat clannish
and undenlably powerful body Is work
ing In New England, as elsewhere, for
government subsidies for the building
of better rural roads and for a govern
ment parcels post system. These ideas
are being vigorously advocated by the
spokesman of the grange in series of
meetings in Massachusetts,. The grange
support of better roads brings great
number of influential voters to the
reinforcement of the automobilists. Be-
tween the farmers and the city folks"
this idea ought to go. Massachusetts
has shown in her State highways how
much real economic gain there is in
smooth, enduring roads, well planned
and we'll constructed. The grangers
might accomplish more If they bonn
barded Congress less and gave greater
attention to interesting State govern
ments.
