The Lake Boats and Governor LiIIey.

Concerning the effort of the late Governor Liliey, while congressman at-large from this state, to break up some illegal practices in naval con- tracts and to let the light into dark places where the crooks and grafters were doing their work, the Hartford Times says:
 The announcement that a Bridge port company has u1lderbid the New Jersey company in the. competition for the contract to build four sub marines for the federal government would deeply interest George |. Lilley, if he were still alive.
 It was partly to smash the subma.- rine monopoly and to promote com petition that Mir. -Lilley undertook his sensational crusade fin congress. For his daring attack on conditions and on the alleged employment of scan dalous methods to maintain a virtual submarine monopoly every effort was made to disTedit MT. Lfl1ey and to hound him.
 But where virtual monopoly existed when MT. Lidey began his reform campaign substantial competition may now be found. The logic of events has vindicated in a measure the pro- priety and wisdom of his crusade The competition which has been cre- ated as the result of his efforts makes for economy and efficiency.

A DEPLoRAslE CASE.

Ths following statement Of an in cefersfbls abuse of Q student is taken from the Rutland (vt) News
 The case of that Bridgeport, Conn, girl who has been taken to the Brat ffehcro retreat for treatment as the result Of her initiatory experiences in e high school secret society is simply smother evidence that the secret so- ciety has no place in our high schools The girl. only 1z years old. Is suffer rnS mental and physical derangement from which she will probably never fully recover, as the result of being administered kerosene in a drink and being made to eat potatoes boiled in soap The college Is much better on without the secret society. The high school maintained at the public ex- pens<. should certainly not tolerate at for c moment"
 Such 6 case es this is sufficient to warrant the breaking up of the secret society as high school adjunct. There Is no real need Of such a soct- ety. and if such indignities as these have to be employed to make the in- ffiarfcn impressive to the candidate and srrus1rg to the members they are not of a very high order in intelli- gs1ce in the everyday proprieties. The average secret school society is us- r1zIly ss secreti-ss as it is purposefess and the orgies of the initiation are what usualiy keep 1t alive

A DECLARED POSSIBILITY.

Dr. Livingston F'arrand declared in Stamford the other evening that he believed 40 per cent of the deaths in t,is country might be prevented, which should be good news for hu- n1anity in general and for life insur- snce companies in particular. It Is up to all of us to help prove Farrand's statement true.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 Forty per cent. of the deaths pre- vented-that is pushed along in time, for prevention is only for time would doubtless materially Iengthen the average of human life, which has been advanced already in a very appreciabie way But sooner or later we must all yield to the inevitable, and the average death rate will be about t1ne same once the new limit is established Just about the same number will reach it every normal year-Bridgeport Standard

Atty. Wickersham
In Bitter Speech

WASHINGTON, D. c., April -.
Senator LaFollette today in a
scorching speech in the senate d.
nounced the Taft administration
and charged bad faith In the prep
aration of the railroad regulation
bill. He declared that Attorney
General Wickersham in abandon
ing the prosecution of the great
railroad merger in New England
had betrayed the public.
Speaking on the presidents
railroad bill, LaFollette said:
The bill is the boldest raid
upon public right in the form OF
legislation on this subject the
highbinders of big business ever
succeeded in forcing upon the
serious consideration of congress.
''Never before has anyone un-
dertaken seriously to ask congress
for charter for monopolization
and oppression of the country
such as is carried in the deviov }
language and is the hidden pur-
pose of this measure"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-04-12

In view of the large and OK
tensive power which the bill con
ferred ON the attorney general,
ILaFollette continued, 1t is desir-
able 20 consider what construc-
ltion might be placed by him on
the sections allowing the railroads
to acquire the stocks of other
roads and form combinations. TIC
illustrate what might be expected
LaFollette called attention to the
history of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford suit brought IN
New England in 1908.
The suit was brought to end the
merger in which the New Haven
road sought to acquire other New
England roads, principally Massa-
chusetts, but having lines in otner
states.
Under Roosevelt's administra-
ton, LaFollette said. the suit hac
been vigorously prosecuted. AS
soon as Wickersham came in with
the Taft administration, howeve :.
there was change, he declared.

SINKS To HIS
NECK IN
MUD

VALLEJO, CAL, April H.
Nearly dead as a result of a des-
perate battle for his life in the
clinging clay of a clay pit which
he had entered to rescue the bod
les of two workmen smothered the
day before at the Cowell cement
works in Contra Costa equity,
Dan Brown, assistant superintend-
ent of the plant, was brought to
a hospital here today. The dead
men whose bodies Brown attempt
ed to secure were John Sullivan
and j. Rosie, workmen, who had
been missing since Saturday
might.
Hoping that the man was still
living, Brown jumped into the
hole and the crust broke. He be-
came mired in the soft clay. An
hour later other workmen hap
pened to pass the pit and saw
Browns head. He was uncon-
scious.
