JUDGE HALL APPROACHING
 RETIREMENT

Judge Frederick M. Hall, about tt pass the age limit set for judges in this state, will soon retire from the cornfortable in the consciousness of service well performed His place. following usage, will doubtless be SUD- piled from the. Superior Court Bench and this will leave a place which in the nature of things should be filled by some competent and experienced member of the Bridgeport bar.
 Looking over the number of men eligible for this high honor, by length of service. by personal dignity. by deep knowledge of the law, and by conscientious devotion to the highest ideals of the American bar, more than one Bridgeport lawyer will be found.
 But if from this number of worthy jurists Thomas M. Cullinan should be chosen, Bridgeport and the Bridge port bar would be honored and splen- dfdly represented in the selection
 Such an appointment accepted would represent some sacrifice of of material reward to MT. Cullinan, but that should not stand in the way of his taking on judicial duties should the demand come to him. Men are not solely impelied by the desire for gain, nor even chiefly. and to those of higher ideals honor is preferred above the more material gains that come to the successful lawyer in pri- vate practice.
 The suggestion is made in the most tentative way, as this newspapers idea of maintaining the Connecticut bench. as to the quality of the individuals who compose it. upon the high plane 1t occupies

petition let it use it's power with the | Federal government to. build com peting railroade line from New York | to Portland, Maine.
 Let that line be operated as an ad- juunct to the United States Post Of flee at cost of service.
 There will be no water in such a prop The road bed will be solid, the trains as safe as science can make them and. the service, for service only. That is, there would be SERVICE FOR SERVICE instead of poor service for PROFITS.
 But if New England doesn't really want competition. but does want beneficial monopoly, then let New England's power with the Federal government be used, for the condem- nation of all existing railroad lines ;n this end of the country, and let those lines be operated as an adjunct to the Postal service.
 We shall then have service for ser vice at cost instead of poor service for profits and a continuing threat of GOVERNMENT BY RAILROADS FOR RAILROADS.
 The cheapest way would be govern ment competition. The government lines would be built soundIy, for ae- tua1 cost. There would be no wa ter to buy. and no worn out plant, such as rails, ties. spikes. engines, and cars to throw away.
 The objection to this method is that it would amount to virtual confsca- ton of all the private property in railroads.
 The New Haven railroad, loaded to the gunwales with lies about invest Inent, inflated with millions of stocks and bonds that never should have been issued CoUED NOT COMPETE with a government railroad operated at cost of service. That would be like a combat between a small and vicious fox terrier and big, be- nevolent, but, powerful mastif.
 It may be argued, of course, att most investors take their chances against conlpetition. Grocers. man. ufacturers and workers do. Is there any special reason why vicious rail- roads shouldn't?

Almost within our own time there have been parallel cases where not a great discovery, but a great in- getting. Of this this we. have strik- ing example in the Mechanism for stitching. In 1790 Thomas Saint pa tented in England chain stitch sew the insight of genius he created fea- lures which appear in good machines today-an overhanging arm of goodly girth. and a horizontal cloth plate. His continuous thread had tighteners above and below it's needle. And yet this machine was virtually forgotten for sixty years.

DRIVERS ..DRINK. DEFINED.
(Middletown Sun.1

Somebody asks the question, .ewhen IS a chauffeur drInk?' The answer is dead easy. It can be reached by process of elimination He is never drunk when he loses control of his machine; he is always sober when he comes out of a cafe Wiping his chops; he is never intoxicated when he stops at a road house and takes a few beers; he is never under the influence of booze when he pIunges into a. sub way and kills an old lady; he is never stimulated when he attempts to climb a telephone pole with his auto, or when he turns turtle on the Milford pike; he is as sober as @ deacon when 9le picks up a girl. goes off on a joy ride and attempts to kiss the young creature against her will If his breath smells that is a sign that he is rational These are times when he is sober He is drunk when driving at moderate speed; when at home and in bed; when going to church; when behaving like an orderly person and g. gentleman; when the sun is coming up; when he refuses to take out hds mploye1ss auto without leave. All these signs can be relied upon

TO REDUCE WAITER RATES.

11In0S.y
 It is stated that Hartford proposes to. reduce it's water rates about one third A similar announcement from some other cities would be pleasing news and would probably cause the inhabitants to look forward to the coming of spring with more than or dinary enthusiasm--New Britain Her aid,
 The first part of the statement is entirely correct. Under the adminis- trafiOn of John L. DoWner, the Demo cratic president of the board of water commissioners, the affairs of theF de- rartment have been so well conducted that it is proposed to reduce the rate of water rents tflirty-three and one third per cent. In addition to doing this the expenses of the department have been substantially reduced The not for the purpose of obtrrding par politics should have nothing to do, but to show that the successful adaninis- tratton of the affairs of a. department of the city government is perfectly com pafible with Democratic control, notwithstanding the insinuations to the contrary on the part of some leading Republicans. We agree with the Her ald. that the, inhabitants of other cit ieszwould be in a better mood to en- joy the delights of the approaching spring. even though it's approach is rather tardy, if they could see a pros pect of reduction in their waiter rates. same as Hartford will enjoy.

If New England Means Business il Can Have the Right Kind of Railroad Compet-
 lion, or the Right Kind of Monopoly

The noise and fume and fuss and fufore over the Grand Trunk faseo is beautiful example of the diff culties of railroad regulation.
 The relations between the Grand Trunk. which is Canadian line, and The New. Haven were unsatisfactory to- tl4e@ fornaer., which thereupon be- sought the governments of Rhode Es- Hand and Massa chusetts for charters to build a competing line. The chart CTS were. granted. and building was built for some distance when the work was halted and it appeared. that the rival roads had made a traffic agree ment. and that the Grand Trunk com petition would be abandoned.
 The governments of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the govern ment of the United States as repre- scented by the Department of Justice and the Inter State Commerce Com mission. are busy with a new set of investigations,
 There are dire threats of prosecu- ton under the Sherman law. and that sort of thing. with which the .Arneri- can public is so familiar. M
 Now this is perfectly evident. The United States government can't COAI- PEEL a Canadian railroad company to build tracks, install equipment and run trains in New England.
 It can perhaps upset the traffic arr engagement between the two roads. If it did so it would do New England an injury. If New England cannot have competition. it would be be1ae- acfal to New England Co have the transportation facilities of this part of the country operated in some sort of tune with the railroads across the line.
 There is one way however in which New England may have it's choice of two beneficial things.
