PEDESTRIANS HELD UP TRAINS.
TrestIe Walkers at Derby Arrested for
Trespassing on Railroad Property.

Railroad detectives have recently
arrested number of small boys and
one man for trespa ssing on railroad
property at Derby. The small boys
were SO small that their appearance in
court last week caused even the court
to smile al the ioea that they could be
guilty of any great crime. 1t turned
out that while they are small they are
yet very powerful along certain lines,
particularly when they are on one of
the treSties over the Naugatuck and
an express train is coming along the
track. They are So powerful then that
the engineer has to stop the train.
Special Agent James G.. Ahea-n ex-
planned to the court that the engineers
and conductors on the passenger and
freight trains on the Naugatuck road
had complained a number of times to
the railroad officials that there were
so many people crossing the trestles,
between Derby. and East Derby, and
especially so many young people, that
the trains freqJ emily had to be stopped
suddenly in order co avoid striking
these trespassers. He said that the
trestles are on curve and that in
stopping the trains the emergency
brakes have to be thrown on, and this
is very dangerous to passengers in the
train. The engineers on some of the
trains had threatened to slow down to
three miles an hour. if the treSpa ssers
were not kept off and the track kept
free of children
The complaints had reached the gem
orders that all treSpaSSers be arreSted
and the detectives had come to the
city on Saturday afternoon. They had
Just reached the trestle when they
found the group of children and took
them into custody

THE LAST WEEK.

This promises TO be the week which
will mark the adjournment of the
Connecticut legislature of 1911 and it
should be the most important week of
the session. Action should not be
taken in haste to be repented at lei
sure.
The way should be prepared for
the redistricting of this state under
the new apportionment. 1t is time
Congressman Tilson had district of
his own; and it is also time that the
districts came nearer to complying
with the national apportionments.
There is no equality of districts when
the Third has less than half as many
voters as the First: and the First
district only has three quarters as
many voters as the Second; and the
Second and Fourth congressional dis
tricts have 69s.501 voters to 416,255 for
the First and Third. If the republi-
cans do not attend to redistricting the
state now, the democrats may have
the opportunity 10 90 So Two years
from now. AS the districts stand to-
day in their disappointment they
look and are indeed absurd.
The legislature should go a little
slow on final appropriations before its
amen and high jinlSs festival. There
is no denying this has been an extrav-
agant general assembly and it should
have a care not to Cypress the people
with a heavy state tax, for the reye-
nues of the state are ample to avoid
this without in any way retarding
progress. If judgment and prudence
are exercised. There are some pro-
posed enterprises which can wait
there is no necessity for fastening to
do everything which has a respectable
backing and seems to be urgent.
This is the week when the legisla-
ture of 1911 must do much to its cred
it and little to its discredit If it would
strengthen its party for the campaign
of 1912.

BEMOANlNG THE FAILURE OF
SUNDAY LEGISLATION,

There is no reason why the failure
Of the legislature to pass a new Sun
day law should be bewailed.
The old Sunday law may be blue,
but it does not prevent Sunday from
being merry. 1t has shown as effec-
lively as any law can what law can
not accomplish.
There is no local option in the old
Sunday law. but there appears to be
any amount of local option in it's OBJ
seryance in different parts of the state,
the license taken varying with the re-
1igious convictions and conscientious
scruples. or the lack of them, in each
community.
There is no sense in attempting to
have a class Sunday law which rec
ognizes automobiling and doesn't rec
osnize motor boating of all descrip-
lions, or that lega1izes golf and base
ball and declines to legalize bridge
whist and draw poker. or that legal
ICES the sale of soft drinks, confec-
tionery and cigars. but declines to per-
init the sale of beer, canned goods and
cookies. Then in these days of a need
of increa sed revenue there should
have been a provision that IS per
cent. of the receipts for all Sunday
games and exhibitions. shall be paid
over to the state treasury in the inter-
est of the taxpayers. What is the use
of aiding Sunday speculation without
profiting by it?
The observance of Sunday is not
going to be any worse than it has
been: and the name of the state need
not be lent to bolster up the irrelig-
iousness of the people
Law does not compel to righteous
ness; but pure and healthy example
tends that way.
The new Sunday law would not
have improved the observance of
Sunday. 1t would have opened up
large business prospects for the greedy
without adding anything to the free
dom or joy of the people.

THE GRAND ARMY BILL.

There was no reason why the state
of Connecticut should pass any more
pension legislat ton for the veterans of
the civil war. She exempts $1,000 of
taxes for the thrifty. she provides a
home and hospital care for the home
less and the sick, gives state aid for
widows and needy children, and fur
nishes memorial stones for their place
of burial; and if the benefits are not
a equal as the benefits in other states
they are more numerous and more
satisfactory than the rewards given
to the veterans in other states.
The Bulletin believes the action of
Judge Baldwin in vetoing the
so-called Grand Army bill will re-
ceive the commentator of many Vet
-erans as we'll as of the people. There
is no reason why there should be any
more general legislation along these
lines. unless by an entirely new act
the present benefits can be more
equally adjusted. There is no reason
why half a million more should be
annually distributed among the vet
Grams of this state.

PHILANTHRoPIc NEWSPAPERS.

Connecticut newspapers surrender
enormous space to churchly and char
table objects as freely as if space
were not a commodity. How many in
stances are there of contractors, no
matter how wealthy. building churches
and hospitals and libraries free, or
merchants furnishing churches and
hospitals and libraries without the for
mality of sending a bill for the goods :?
The advertising space which Con-
necticut newspapers give away to
churches and hospitals and libraries
and a hundred other worthy objects
would make many an editor or pro-
prietor rich who, because of his prone
ness to self-sacrifice, is instead
wrenched with severe and chronic
attack of Observation-Disclosures York

And still the press is occasionally
tainted by some clergyman or church,
man of being illiberal to the church
and to all other charities.
No business is more severely taxed
in the name of religion and charity,
and often by greedy advertisers, than
the daily newspaper 1t can truly be
said to bleed for all.
The New Britain Herald is right
when it says:
Very often the church or the char
liable organizatio asks for assist
ance. 1t is very seldom that they are
denied and yet if the stories are not

men who want their sociables or their
lectures given front page positions,
become adamant if reporter chances
to interview them on matter of news
concerning the church. They find it
is not the business of the newspaper
and concerns nobody outside the
church circle
1T is difficult for people to under
stand that what is news to one per-
son is of no interest to another A
newspaper is not in business for its
health or for fun The aim of a news
paper is to make money. and to do
this it must appeal to many people of
varied tastes. The man who brings in
