or vehicle happens to be standing
across a street.
The suggestion is good one, but
the only trouble with 1T is that the
drivers of traffic in New Haven gem
orally cannot know, as those in New
York do. when they are going to he
in the way of the fire apparatus UNI
til 1t is all but upon them. The word
generally is used adyisedly, for in
the instance in question on Grand
avenue there seemed to be no excuse
for the motorman not realizing that
an engine was coming when he had
seen hose-cart precede it The
reason why the approach of the fire
apparatus In New York is known afar
off is the fact that there the engines
make vigorous and generous use of
their steam whistles, which can be
heard for blocks and blocks. The
Journal-Courier has long been of the
opinion that the same system of whis-
tle-blowing should be made use of in
New Haven The men are in favor of
it and those few victims of insomnia
who may be awakened at night by it
should not really object, when they
realize that the apparatus is hurrying
to save life and property.
For year or more our sister city
Of Hartford has had wise traffic
regulation which has been strictly en-
forced by the police and which has
had none but beneficial results. 1t is
that of compelling all vehicles to
draw up with their right side toward
the street curbs. In this way II is
never possible for two horses to be
standing ad-to-head. Then, In case
OF a fire, a whole line of vehicles
may be moved easily and quickly, with
S"e any VI tItHl udNillS W tuiH out
into the middle of the street to get in
the way of the apparatus. The adop-
ton of a similar rule In New Haven
would seem to be a wise provision not
only in times Of fire but under ordin-
airy conditions as we'll Uniformity In
this direction seems to be as COM
mendable as the more general rule OF
always passing to the right.
Bridgeport and other places have a
system OF bells placed at the corners
where the trolley cars and other
heavy traffic are most apt to get in
the way of fire apparatus. These bells
work In way that is very similar tc
those so familiar at railroad crossings

STILL UNSAFE AND USEFUL.

We suppose the horse continues to
he a vain thing for safety, but he also
continues TO be useful So the horse
less age doesn't seem to be even as
near as II seemed when II was first
announced that the automobile was
going TO crowd the horse To the wall
and then over II. While the automo-
bile industry in this country has
ouadrupled in value in the last three
years and has developed at even a
greater rate in the number of ma
chimes manufactured. the horses keep
on increasing There were more than
fourteen million horses In this coun-
try In 1897, but according to the fig
ures for the year Just closed there
are f9.746,000 horses in the United
States at the present time. This is a
gain Of nearly forty per cent, in a de-
cade. much larger one than the hu-
man element can show.
1t is also asserted. and probably
with truth. that the horses continue
to improve in quality as well as in
quantity. The efforts in several
States to improve them still further
by legalizing gambling at race-.racks
show an interesting zeal in behalf of
the horse. This zeal doesn't seem IN
be appreciated by many, but they
are accused of not knowing much
about horse nature or human nature.

Whatever airy fabrics diplomacy may
spin into thin webs OF doubt or denial.
we are, after all, confronted by four
great external problems-the power to

THE TOWN OF TATURNs.

Oklahoma is comparatively new
but she has as many curiosities in her
collection as some of the States which
have been much longer collecting. One
of them is her constitution. Another Is
the town Of Taturns. which is in the
northwestern part of Carter county Ii
has six hundred inhabitants. all ne
groes No town lots are sold to whites
or Indians. Taturns has colored
preachers, teachers. sawmillers, cotton
ginners, merchants and some retired
capitalists.
How long this example of race pref
udice will continue remains TO be seen.
Probably not long. 1t is astonishing
that even six hundred negroes who
can and Will thus cooperate have been
found and have found each other. 1t
will probably not pay the town of Ia
turns to continue to be a negro town
long. and when 1t doesn't the mixing
will begin, or what is left of the town
will move.

A Billion-Dollar waterway Scheme.

A Billion-D0llar Waterway Scheme.
United States Senator Francis G..
Newlands, in Leslie's Weekly: Hav-
ing in view the wealth of our resourc-
es, we are probably the most back
ward nation on earth in the improve
ment Of our waterways. In Germany
the rivers have been artificialized
from source to mouth, and they have
also been co-ordinated with trans
portation by ocean and by rail, until
that country has today the most eff
cient transportation machinery on
earth. France has done almost
equally as we'll, and we were told
at the recent rivers and harbors
congress that it is possible to travel
or to ship goods, by water, from
practically any place to any other
place in that country. Even the
South American republics are out
stripping us, both in the size of their
appropriations for this class of work
and in the speed and efficiency with
which it is being carried forward,
while many single municipalities,
such as Liverpool and London, have
spent sums on their waterways and
docks which make our appropriations
for rivers and harbors look like child
play by comparison, and these invest
ments are paying good returns.
To take an example nearer home,
we may profitably turn to our great
system of railways. Capitalized at
more than fifteen billion dollars, they
are yet unable to handle the bust
ness OF the country properly, and,
In order, to provide the additional
facilities demanded, are contemplat-
ing the Investment Ave and one-half

years and one and one-half billions
more within the next fve years. Does
anyone suppose that shrewd business
men would make this vast investment
for betterments alone, If they did not
see their way clear to make 1t profit
able? And If the railway managers
have enough faith in the future of
transportation by rail in this country
to be willing to make such an invest
ment, why should the American peo-
pie hesitate to spend one-fifth Of that
sum for the Improvement Of their
waterways? The expenditure of a
billion dollars, or even much larg
er sum, would be the best investment
we ever made II 1t will achieve the
restoration Of our waterways as efi-
cient instrumentalities Of transporta-
tion.
