terested. We are obliged to close win
dows and doors. beginning at p. M,
and keep them closed until midnight,
owing TO the vile odor coming from the
plggery just at the top Of the HILL and
living garbage being carted by with
barrels carelessly covered This Is done
at all times of day and until late in
the evening And Or. Wright frankly
says nothing can be done In regards 10
the piggery for this year, but thinks
possibly in another year the nuisance
may be done away with. So we must

atlng from the New Haven Journal

There used to be h-patronlzed

the Flames" that used to electrify the
largo audiences OF New Workers. that
went to see II. All the attendant cir
cumstances of big city fire were real
istically shown In detail, even includ-
Ing thrilling rescues and drops into
life-nets, held by the actor-fremcn.
But, IL tho dwellers In Gotham held
their breath at that. what might have
been their feelings were they able to
watch advantageously the gigantic de-
yastation by fire that has been raging
upon our northern border-line and in
Canada? Mile after mile of the best
sort OF fuel for fires. standing timber
made dry as kindling by q long
drought, has stood in the way Of the
hre-fend. with high winds to urge 1t
on and no adequate flre-fghting appar-
aturs with which to stop It, 1t is diff
cult to realize Its proportions or its
! fearfulness.
It seems particularly unfortunate
that this vast confagration, one which
Is probably without precedent in the
annals of Canada, should come at this
very time, when Canada has only be-
gun to settle back into It's normal rut
after the unusual visit of the Prince
and the picturesque celebrations at
Quebec. The summer Of 1908 promises
to be one long to be remembered by
! Canadians, with pleasure because of
the celebration, and with regret be-
cause Of the unfortunate fire.
Probably the worst feature of the
wholesale tragedy is the fact that II
Is well-nigh impossible to send proper
aid to the suffering and homeless that
| the fire has left in its trail, because
the district Is so far from the large
centers Of population on this contin-
emit Then, too, the remoteness OF the
suffering ones makes their appeal for
help seem far less impelling with those
who would be most able and willing tc
give. AS the official government re.
port to Ottawa says, every effort is
being made locally, but these people
are utterly without food or shelter. Not
fewer than 5000 are homeless. Seven.
ty lives lost Fire covers seventy
miles. Immediate relief required"
The connagration emphasizes the I'm.
portance Of the fact which the recent
Maine forest fires only made too appar-
Ient. 1t Is that adequate means must
/. be had to prevent repetitions of these
fires in the future. The suffering and
loss of life that they leave in their
trail would be enough to impress that
fact upon the country, without taking
any account of the immense loss Of
valuable timber which, in these days
when lumber is demanding sky-higF
prices anyway, is a matter fully worth

The information that comes from
New York, namely that William f..
Walker confidently expects to be given
his freedom from states prison at the
end of a year in return for lnforma
ton which he will divulge as to the
whereabouts of the securities that he
stole from the Savings bank of New
Britain, is too ridiculous proposition
to suppose the state authorities would
ever agree to. Prisoners have been
known to turn states evidence, many
of them, with the distinct hope that
they will have their terms shortened
for so doing, and in many cases, that
shortening has followed, but It would
be decided novelty when a Wetbers-

bargain with the state TO furnish inst
so much states evidence for every
year taken from his sentence. 1t sounds

RAILROAD PUBLICITY.

Mr., shonts, the president of the New
York traction syatem, has come IN for
more than little criticism, deserved
or not as It may have been, during the
days Of his Ineumbency, But that he
has made at least one good move now
seems perfectly apparent, Mr., Shonta
has just made the announcement that
IN the future, whenever any accidents
that result IN personal injuries happen
or any delays of considerable extent
come so that traffic ia held up for u
considerable time, the complete details
In every instance, as far as they are
known TO the officials OF the traffic
lines, viii not only be available to the
various press interests for the asking
but they will even voluntarily be tele-
phoned to the various newspapers by
the officials to whose attention they
first come,
Mr. Shonts Is the first head OF q city
traffic system TO adopt this plan. For
some time number Of the railroads,
notably the Pennsylvania and the
Union Pacific, have been In the custom
Of making public the details of acci-
dents as quickly as they have become
known. Tho Pennsylvania road has
maintained bulletin board on which
are posted for the inspection OF the
newspaper men and the public gener-
ally the many details OF every accident,
as fast as they are received, including
the LETS OF injured and dead, II any,
and of the employees held responsible
II such responsibility exists and can
be focused upon the proper parties,
But, so far as is known. this way of
doing things has never been adopted
by city traffic lines heretofore, so the
experiment will be watched with great
interest.
The New York railroad man is simply
following out IN detail the ever-grow-
Ing public sentiment that Is being felt
here and abroad that the more public
ity there Is In railroad accidents, the
better. Recent laws enacted In the
state of New Jersey have called for
the strictest accounting in fixing the
responsibility for railroad accidents,
Similar laws elsewhere would not be
amlss. Immediate Investigations and
| full reports to the public should be the
watch-word and II is believed they
would go q long way toward reducing
the number OF these unfortunate af-
fairs. wherever the responsibility can
be fixed, there should be no hesltancy
In furnishing the guilty parties for
criminal negligence In endanserng
human lives. Publicity all along the
line will do much to bring that about
and It Is encouraging when such Off
cials as Mr.. Shonte do their part
Secrecy and evasion viii do more harm
than good. Mr. shonts' action is called
to the Immediate attention of the high
officials OF the New Haven road and OF
the Connecticut company in the hopes
that they too will see the wisdom OF It
no matter what point Of view Is taken
