THE CAUSE OF THE
 WESTPORT DISASTER
(New York Amerfcan)

The engineer of the Boston express who drove his engine at full speed across the road from the first to the third tracks, was personally responsi- lives. But was he alone responsible? :? We think not. The rules Of the New Haven Road require that all such switches shall
 be taken at a speed of fifteen miles an hour, but this train was over weighted, carried eleven cars, was instructions had been given to engi- neerS to try to make up lost time.
 The New Haven Road habitually overcroWdAs it's cars. It runs too few fic- It thereby neglects both the con- venience and the safety of it's pas sengers. This accident is a repetition of another from the same cause, near the same place and with like result.
 Most of the deaths were due not to the derailment, but to the horrible conf1agration of wooden cars. The old-fashioned lighting system set fire to the wreck. Electric lights and steel cars, with which many railroad com would have prevented all the worst features of thks horrible wreck.
 The New Haven Road has spent buy up trolley lines, to forestalI fu- ture competition and to extend its own monopoly of transportatio tion, but it has spent less than most other great provements which protect human life. It still operates it's own wooden parlor and sleeping cars. It does not enforce it's own speed regulations.
 Locomotive engineers, like skilled automobile drivers, take chances at tirneis al the cost of their own lives, but they do not do so if rules are strictly enforced, because obedience to rules then becomes a fixed habit.
 The operating department of the New Haven Road, as well as it's poll icy Of parsimony in train service and neglect of modern improvements, need immediate reformation.

THE STOCK MARKET
CT. L. Watson & Col

In summing up it may be said that there are many sound and tested stocks which still can be bought at current prices to yield , per cent. or over on the investment Plus that return, railroads, which a year ago stood on the threshold of a fiscal year that was full of clouds as to their dentIes now face a. period crowded with certaintiess of a big tonnage be- yond their normal capacity. The country's foreign trade has a pros pect of magnitude which will place the European money markets at our mercy. It is within the bounds of possibility that it will be the American banker who will stop foreign war now. and even next year, because he will be the ultimate controller of the in ternationaI purse-strings. Once we can draw the curtain upon the dis quieting drama in the Near East we shall see only strong fundamentals that will warrant confident purchats- es Of the better grade of stocks. And covering of foreign shorts is a pos- sible additional factor.

THE NEW WINE

The HaFtford Times is correct in saying that senators are. not elected according to popular vote
 The argument grows out of a letter written .bx M- c. Welch- of Hartford, to which our contemporary gives space
 Senators are not elected by popular vote. in the full sense of the word, be- cause the 25 districts which send them are widely separated with respect to population, and a relatively few voters in one district choose, while many voters in another are no better rep resented
 The abrogation of popular rights ices not begin at the election, how ever
 Before senators are elected they must be nominated. The nom1na- tions are not popular
 Under ne-RepubIican system o8 making aonSnatiofis a big city has but a trifle more representation than lit tie town: and in almost any delegate convention the little towns are in ov srwhelning plurality.
 The Democratic delegate system is a tride fairer, but not much
 In Fairfield county for instance, Bridgeport, which contains nearly half of the Democratic votes, has less than a fifth of the representation in dele gate conventions.
 IL will be said that, despite the dis parity of representation. men who live in the cities are frequently nominated for office That is not the question in which the people are interested The senators who are nominated may live in the cities. but they are more likely to be in political or economic thought a reflection of the views of the small towns. than a projection of the social and economic ideals of the cities.
 The present system is not supported by the small towns to anything like the extent that is ordinarily supposed. The citizen of the small town realizes that he has little to gain and much to LDSC uAAOSI any p1dI WHICH IHdheS gov ernment aristocratic
 The real force behind the small town system is the New Haven railroad, which finds it easier to manipulate few votes in a little place, than many votes in a large place
 Two factors combine to make the railroad a dominant element. The senate by the snaHness of it's numbers, ead the house by the smaIIness of it's constituencies which elect it's mem Sers. and the remoteness of these con- stituencies from the problems with which the General Assembly has to deal There is nothing to worry about.

 About this time, with competing lines adopting the new safety appliance, Commodore Vanderbilt began to grow interested. The theory that trains could be stopped by wind, however Imaginable, was working well in prac- tice, and the New York Central could not afford to lag behind the process sion.

On Second Thought
By Jay E. House

You doubtless. have observed that the man who is looking for leaking gas nearly always lights a match.
 s'Just as I had again reached the point of admitting the intelligence of the people, said Tank Beverly yes- terday, t'I learned from the news papers that one of them had paid $3,00O for a greyhound.
 The happy, barefoot boy usually has a stonebruise on his heel
 When a man decides that it is healthful to go without a hat that means he has saved his hair and is proud of it.
