TRIUMPHS OF DOLLAR DIPlO-
MACY

Dollar diplomacy so-called. has
some very distinct achievements to
its credit During the fiscal year
ending June 3Oth. 1911. the domestic
exports OF the United States were
worth more than two billion dollars.
II is generally admitted that the work
of the diplomatic and consular service
has been an important factor in pro
ducing this gratifying result Mini
mum tariff rates have been negotiated
with Germany and France. which
have added at least seventy-five
million dollars to our foreign trade.
Through the same means very large
increases in trade have been secured
with Brazil and South American coun-
tries. Our trade with Japan has in
creased from sixteen million dollars
to twenty-nine million dollars. The
recent treaty with Japan will increase
our trade with that country from five
TO ten per cent \ hundred million
dollars of American capital has been
placed in China. and Chinese trade
is rapidly growing. These things
speak for dollar diplomacy in terms
which men Of common sense can
understand. Rabid theorists may get
some satisfaction out OF wild ranting
about the use of the state department
for the benefit of American capitalists
but what better use can the state de
partment be put 10? II our govern
ment can find new channels OF trade

THE ATLANTIC CITY SUNDAY.

The Christian Esndeavorers OF the
United States have just concluded a
most successful convention at At
lantic City. Former Vice President
Chas. w. Fairbanks was one OF the
speakers. In his address in the st.
Pauls VI. Z. church. Mr.. Fairbanks
spoke of the Sunday conditions pre-
vailing in Atlantic City. as follows:
When | arrived here yesterday. I
would never have known IL was Sunday
save by looking at the calendar. The
conditions were shameful. worse than in
many European cities. Every store. sa-
loon and place OF amusement seemed to
be running. Apparently the rulers OF
this town don't consider II a part Of
America They act as though there were
no laws. All this should be changed II
ts a disgrace that this resort should be
allowed To fracture the law with such
impunity"
Atlantic City enjoys the Con
tinental Sunday" by this is meant
the free and unrestricted operation
OF places OF amusement and general
license 10 do about anything one
feels like doing in about any way one
feels like doing IL. Conditions in At.
lantic City did not become what they
are all in a day. They changed little
by little. Gradually we see the same
tendencies in this city and in other
cities. How far We will continue IN
that direction is largely a question
for the citizens themselves to decide.
doubtless the citizens OF Atlantic city
can reform Atlantic City whenever
they want to do so. but no one antici
pates that they will.

WAS THE VERDICT JUST THAT CONSIGNED t& JOHN HAWLEY TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT?

two little children of the murdered woman. They were of tender years and they did not testify until months after the crime had passed. They told stories so complete in detail as to indicate that they must have been carefully coached by the representa- tives of the state over long period. Their stories were open also to the objection that their minds had been impressed by the form of repeated questions in which they had been led to believe that they saw that which the questioner thought they might have seen.,
 Any observing parent is familiar with the spectacle of young children refiecting, in statements, the views re- ceived in the form of questions, and children, under such pressure will frequently confesses to offenses they never committed.
 States Attorney Judson was. not alone among those wno heard the ev- idence offered against Hawley who doubted if the verdict of the jury was sound.

State Democrats
 Are Laying Plans
Meeting in Hartford to Begin Work in a Statewide
 Campaign

Hartford, Dec. 20-Steps were taken at gathering of Democrats from all parts of the State at the Democratic club on Monday night to form State Democratic club. Such an organfza- tion was suggested by Governor Bald win soon after his election last fall. His idea was to bring together in a State organization some of the men who had worked so hard to make \the Democratic State campaign of 1910 a success
 At the gathering were Mayor Smith, Pofce Commissioner Alvan Waldo Hyde and former Town Chairman Robert P. Butler of Hartford; Colonel Samuel H. Fisher, Major Louis E.. Stoddard, Secretary E. s. Thomas and Philip Troup from New Haven; May or Joseph M. Haloran of New Brit ain;, Senator Thomas FS Noone, Sher- if George Forster and Mayor-elect Lyman T. Tingier of Rockville; Judge Rolltn U. Tyler of Deep River and Colonel Frank M. Chapin of Pine Meadow, a member of the Governors s staff.
 Many of those who had been fn- vited sent word that, because of the short notice, other enga genentS had interfered, but they sent assurance of might decide to. do.
 The talk was nearly all of an infOr- nal nature, but it wass decided to ask Chairman Comstock of the Democratic State committee to call a meeting of the Democratic State commf ttee early in January, in order that an organi- zation be at once perfected and a Statewide campaign be commenced at once.

THE HUMANE FEDERAL LAW OF FELLOW
 SERVANT AND THE HARSH STATE LAW

Oliver Huff, an engineer employed by the New York, New Haven and Hartford. Railroad, has just been awarded S22.5o0 in the United States Circuit Court, for injuries received in the, freight wreck in Fairfield, June 6, of the present year.
 The judgment was given under the Federal Employers Liability, act, which sets aside the doctrine of fel- loSa servant and makes contributory negligence a bar to damages only in the degree that the negligence of the injured bears to the negligence of he who caused the injury.
 There was no negligence on the part ' of Huff, and no diminution of dam ages for such reason. -s.
 The court found the wreck due to the negligence of the engineer in charge of the train in running past the danger signal, or to the negligence of the rear brakeman, who failed % keep the signal light burning.
 Should the decision of the court be sustained, this case will mark a crisis in the history of railroading and in the Jurisprudence relating to master and servant.
 Railroads, finding the lives of their
