BAD EGGS.

The civil authorities of Penhsylva- mia. so we are informed, have entered on the job Of putting an end to the traffic in "rots," as spoiled eggs are sometimes called among those who deal in them. Steps are about to be taken to make 1t a criminal offense for any one to deal in decayed hen fruit. This. 1t must be admitted. is proposing a somewhat drastic remedy for a great evil, unless some way can be found to protect innocent dealers. When a grocery merchant has a cargo of eggs shipped from some other city he cannot in great many cases tell whether or not they are sound or spoiled. and he may sell some had ones without knowing 1t and with no intent to wrong the customer.
 In Philadelphia, We are told. there are numbers of dealers who make it their business to buy the "rots' and sell them to unsuspecting customers, and if any complaint is made they shield themselves behind the plea that they didn't know the eggs were bad when they sold them. This is the class of criminals that should he rig idly dealt with when it is possible to

4 BRUTAL ACT.

Recently in Westchester. N. r., there occurred an incident which is far too frequent in the North and East of late. In this case an automo- bile struck and mortally wounded two pedestrians. Instead of stopping and trying to render assistance to the vic tims of his recklessness the driver of the machine hurried away and left the two men to die a lingering death. At last accounts the guilty man had not been apprehended or identified, and probably win not be.
 "The limit of heartlessness," com ,ments The Brooklyn Eagle. "is re- vealed by the driver who leaves his victim maimed or dying in the street. It is a thousand pities the law can not oftener and more severely punish scoundrels of this class. The law-re- specting automobilists. who are in the vast majority, are as eager as any other clsas in the community to bring reckless drivers to justice. They have good cause to resent the ill-repute which the seifshness and brutality of a few bring upon an admirable form of recration."
 It is not at all surprising to read, as we do in some of the newspapers of that section. the statement that fin some places up there the citizens arm themselves and keep watch for Just such reckless criminals as the driver of this auto evidently was. If one of these victims could have had the means and vitality to shoot and kill the man who ran them down would he have really committed a crime? We are not sure that it would have been a criminal act if some observer of the brutal act had shot the cowardly driver. Certainly he should be punished but the chances are largely against 1t.
 Such criminal recklessness as this is not infrequent up In that part of the country. AutomobIlists in many cases seem to think they are absoived from any obligation to others. or from the necessity of exercising eau tion or care in running their machines. Reckless speeding is not at all un- common and the papers are con.,nuaI- ly bringing accounts of deaths and injuries resulting from over-cast driv- ing by men who appear to think the road belongs to them and th6t they are under no obligations to observe even common prudence in running. In such case as this one conVic ton and punishment on the charge of mur- der might have a wholsome effect.

ANOTHER
R THANKSGIVING sUe-
GESTED.

The Charleston News and Courier sarcastically suggests that Mir. Taft issue an ante-inauguration proclama- ton, calling on all the people to as- semble at the churches or in their homes on the 4th day of March next and return thanks for their deliver ance from the perils that lately beset them, and which were set aside by the election. It thinks that if this were done the predatory rich" would assemble in greater numbers than they have ever been known to do be- fore.
 The New Haaen Register doesn't think 1t a subject for joking. "The deliverance Is too important, the change too real" 1t argues "to be disposed of with sarcasm. MT. Taft will object even to the thought. and Americans with sense of propriety will object to the expression of thanks for relief at the changing of adminis- hA aAthAh o P1iNy' N1N ANoSh sAAS courtesy of outward silence should re- strain any demonstration of relief at the change.
 And yet the fact remains that the fourth of next March will bring to a great share of the discerning part of the American people sincere sense of relief. The feeling that we are de- iivered from peril of reckless utter ances from high places. from seditious tumults raised by those high In au. thority, from dreadful visitations of official strenuosity in the enforcement of the IaW, will be by, no means con fined to the predatory rich There will be a real thanksgiving. but it win be q silent one" S Plainly The Register was primarily referring to the country,s., approach ing deliverance from Roosevelt, but we suspect that deep down In his heart the brother thinks the country should be thankful that Mir. Bryan was not elected. Though a Demo- cratic newspaper, and a good one, too, our New Haven contemporary was never Bryanite and didn't support him to any great extent. Be that as it may, the country at large certainly has cause to feel thankful if it can feel assured at the same time that the inauguration of Taft means the end of Rooseveltism for all time. If all could be absolutely certain of that fact they would feel that another thanksgiving day would not be at all inappropriate.

BELLENG THE CAT.

Some of the most prominent of the European governments are intimating, in sort of semi official manner, that the United States should take charge of affairs in Hayti-should annex the island, in short and get to work to restore order. This suggestion is not pleasing to our good Republican con- temporary. The Kansas City Journal, which comments at some length on the proposition. winding up with these words:
 It is altogether likely that the ulti- mate destiny of the islands of the West Indies will throw them into the hands of the United States. But to cooly grab them, or any one of them even black, half savage, wholly mis- governed Haytf-that proposition is a little too cold blooded for American freedom who love and respect liberty, wherever it may be found. The idea Roosevelt. to add another star to the American diadem but it hardly com ports with the righteousness that eX- alteth a nation.
 Of course the idea is tempting to Roosevelt. Island grabbing has got ten to be something of a fad with him, and questions of propriety, equity and the wishes of the islanders have no bearing with him. No doubt he would look on 1t as another feather in his hat, and another evidence of his greatness if he could annex Hayti o-S st. anI~era-vss So &ha TYo4%a5 .Cta+as regardless of possible consequences The fact that such a proceeding would be repugnant to the American ideas of right and justice would not deter him in the least.
 But there are matters of seh-inter est contained in the apparent will lingness of foreign nations to turn over to ours the job of taking control of Hayti. Most. If not all, the Euro kind or other in that badly-governed island. Those interests are endangered, and may be wholly destroyed by and through the turbulent conditions now existing there. If our government will take charge of affairs there and restore order and quiet. the interests of other nations will be suhserved and conserved. In short, they want Uncle Sam to assume the role of Bell-the-cat for their advantage. It would be just like Roosevelt to sail in

VIRGINIA RATE CASE

Attorneys Hold That It Is a Victory
 For the Railroads.
 Richmond Special to Washington Her
 Lawyers generally are agreed that the decision of the United States Su1 preme Court in the Virginia two cent the railroads. While these gentlemen of the bar are not willing to be quoted at this time, due to the fact that they have not as yet seen a fun copy or that, from what has been received, the victory is complete.
 Governor Swanson was asked for a statement, but refused to make. any. His reason was that tnasmuch as he had not been officially notified of the opinion rendered.. and that in the course of his official duties 1t would case, he thought 1t best at this time to refrain from being quoted.
 Judge R. R. Prentis, chairman of the State corporation commission, ex- pressed practically the same views He did say. however: From what I have read 1t seetns that there are pro visions in the opinion which will prove roads. One of the most important parts of the decision is that which es- tab fishes the fact that the State cor poration commission of Virginia Is q agree with Attorney General Ander- son in this. Further than the above cannot go, at the present ftme.
 While this condition of uncertainty prevails among the State officials. 1t Is by no means true of the railway officials. These to a man hold that the railways have won every point for which. they contended, namely, that the corporation commission was a legislative and not a judicial tri- bunai and that two cent rate in Vir- ginia was confiscatory.
 Both President White. of the Rich - mond. Fredericksburg and Potomac. and President Stevens of the Chesa- peake and Ohio Railway, are jubtlant over the outcome as is Counsel Gen eral Thorn, of the Southern, who has conducted the fight from its incep- tion. that the final outcome will be bene- ficiaI to both the people at large, the State and the railroads. At least one of this trio mentioned that he person ally and he spoke for the road he represented, was. not fin favor of rec turning to the old rate of three cents per mile certainly not on the main line. From this 1t Is gathered that while the rate will be increased above two cents, it will not reach the three cent price.

Besides swindiing their cus- toners they endanger the health of those who may use the decayed eggs, to say nothing of the affront to nose and palate of those who unwittingly make an effort to put the ancient food to present use. We are minded to think that the authorities of the Quaker City have a difficult problem before. them. but the object is cer- tainly a good one. Of all objects of human food that should be sound and good we place eggs about head of the list.

The Raleigh (N. c.) News and ob- server. alluding to the many Demo- crats in that State who failed for various reasons to vote for Mir. Bryan significantly adds: "The men who voted against MT. Bryan are not Re pubIicans and will not join that party" That is also true of Alabama, While there were doubtless some Democrats who voted against Mir. Bryan there were very many who re- fused to vote at all, and these are just as true and sound Democrats as are those intolerant newspapers which apply the term of assistant Republi- cans" to all who refrained from yot- ing. There has been too much of that style of comment and criticism al- ready. If Mir. Bryan should unfortu- nately be nominated in 1912 the army of hon-voters will astonish some of the Bryanites.

 Dear Sir--In recent issue of your paper you printed a telegram from BirmAngham dated November 26th. with reference to prohibition conditions which are So. erroneous that we are compelled to take notice of the same and ask for space in your paper to set before your readers some facts that are all fncontrovertible.
 We do not arsume to deny the state- mert that there are some violations of the prohibition laws in Birmingham, but we do affirm that. this is true of every law that stands upon the statute books of God and man, so there is no argument .iver one side or the other on this point.
 We affirm further that conditions in Birmingham are so superior under pro- hibition conditions to what they were with the open saloon that we confident ly believe so per cent. of the decent citizenship of our community who op- posed prohibition in the campaign in october. 1907, are today favorable to existing conditions.
 We wish to submit some figures for the consideration of your readers in support ,5f our affirmation as to the superior conditions existing today.
