they are liable to punishment if they sell liquor to the men under the ban. A few offenders may be on the lists who are not habitual or periodic drunkards, but most of the five times convicted" people are of the drunk and disorderly class. Reports from number of New York towns do not indicate that the authorities are taking any special pains to en- force the law, even where the flag lists" are properly posted, Drunkards Econvicted of new offenses lie brazenly as to where they got their liquor, none of them admitting presence in a sa- Iloon, and justices and policemen make mo effort to get the facts.
 Perhaps man five times convicted of misdemeanors or felonies ought not

THE CITY BEA UTTFUE.

Yale's proposed contribution to the agitation for a more beautiful city of New Haven ought not to be lost up- on the general public. Through it's de- partment of art, over which Profess sor Weir presides with such dignity, it has arranged program of lectures in the course endowed by Colonel Rutherford Trowbridge to consider exclusively the forces and influences which make a city beautiful possible,
 The list of lecturers shows that the art school management has kept in mind all of the essentials of the scheme and has omitted none which can add to better understanding of it. If we are correctly informed these lectures have been arranged for the benefit of the citizens of New Haven and not for the benefit of the students in the art school The preference in other words is to be given the resi- dents and taxpayers of the city in order that they may lack no assist anee which Yale can give to more convincingly appreciate the signif- canoe of the general movement.
 That this is a unique advantage from the point of view of the con ltemplated improvement of the city is manifest. Aside from the good it is sure to accomplish as an educational enterprise, the significance of it as ar additional proof of the University's in. terest in New Haven is welcome The more New Haven and Yale work to-
 gether for the common good the near
 CT will it be brought to realization.

terful men in State politics have sought to both originate, control and enforce them has led to the consider alton in a majority of the legislatures
 of the country of the direct nominat- ling act as a substitute for caucuses and conventions. It is conceivable that
 the continued exhibition of a like mas terful spirit in federal politics may
 have widespread consequences. Prin-
 ciples finally count with the people of
 this country, personal popularity to the contrary notwithstanding.
 It is then with great earnestness
 that The Journal and Courier hopes that before the winter has begun
 President Roosevelt will take his pow erful hands off the political situation.
 The friends of Secretary Taft would have reason to rejoice, while the friends of every other candidate would be deprived of the complaint that they are being deliberately handicapped in a race which is free to every native American. It is far better for the well fare of the country that President Roosevelt's policies fail of an endorse ment in the approaching presidential election than that the precedent should be concurred in that the chief executive should be the sole judge of the proprieties to be observed in pre- Iliminary campaign. Great as are believed to be the services President Roosevelt has given his country and the State in which he was born, the greatest service he can now give is to assume the attitude towards his successor, whenever he may be, which he generously assumed election night three years ago, when he voluntarily pledged himself not to be candidate again for the office to which he had just been elected. We are sure he would be both gratifed and inspired by the response he would receive from his fellow citizens, who
 want him to retire to private life with every possible honor.
