denying that any of the members OF

WASHINGTON, March 25- "A real

with program of speeches that they
may hold back fora final vote until

The senate under q requirement by

Of material for the reporters who

It happened aboard the Mott train.

some of his fellow knights of the grip
and became aomewh1t rough. He
showed one of the boys through the
doorway of car. and the young fel-

That ended the fooling for while.
It so happened that an Indian
boarded the train short distance
from Mandan. He witnessed the lit

down beside the gentlman Of exuber-

sired to make friends, SO turned to
his seat mate and remarked:

laughed
The traveller was in no laughing

CARING FOR THE lMREcILEs.

Mindful of the loss to the state of Connecticut by the death of Dr. George H. Knight who succeeded his father h the conduct of the Lakeville school for imbeciles, Mrs. Isabel c, Barrows writes to the Waterbury American of the need for Connecticut to provide a state institution to take it's place and carry on the work which is so inn portant in every commonwealth. Through her work in connection with such institutions Mrs. Barrows knows whereof she speaks and it concerns matter of which the state is cog nizant.
 The doctors Knight to whom the state entrusted their patients have done a magnificent work at Lakeville and 1t will not be allowed to lag. The need of 1t is apparent and it deals with a class which it is best that the state should look after and provide the proper management for, The proper care of this unfortunate class Is rec ognized as of the utmost importance and 1t is at such places that they can get 1t, An institution of the kind at Lakeville is also the best means for placing a check upon the increase of such class when provision is made for their care not only during child acod but for much longer periods of fife. This Is question with which ne state must deal to accomplish the pest results, Commitment to such an institution means the obtaining of ev- 5ry benefit possible to inc irnbeeiIe on5 It Is also for the benefit of the future.

AVIATION PERILs.

Garros, the French aviator, has es- tablished new altitude record in tho aereplane in the study of which ma chine the future has great possibili- ties. One accomplishment after an- other in the establishment of records for speed or altitude shows that the science of navigating the air is grad ually being worked out though there are many difficulties yet to be over come. With all the many attainments it has its great dangers, failure of en- zines or operating machinery to work being assured of one result-death. It has a large and open field for opera tion, but there are records of collisions in the air as well as on the earth with the same consequences.
 Aviation is destined to play an inn portant part in war. but it's use in the recent Balkan trouble demonstrat- grave danger. The aviator at an alti- tude of 4,000 feet was target for the Turkish sharpshooters and regard less of the fact that he was an expert at his business was picked off by the enemy though able to direct his ma- chine back to the Bulgarian lines. It is only distance therefore which lends security and as on land there are at- tending dangers which makes it ap- parent that this means of locometien. for diversion, travel or spying needs the introduction of greater degree of safety.

LIFTING THE LITIeANT's BURDEN

With the improvement which has been made by the supreme court of the United States in regard to equity procedure step in the right direc- tion which cannot help but meet. pub llc approval has been made. It is in the interest of the rights and the pock- etoooks of those affected, by overcom- ing delay and expense to a large ex- tent. It is a step which was long needed, in line with the recommenda- tions of the president, who has always manifested the deepest interest in mat ters concerning the courts, a direction in which he is particularly qualified to offer suggestions.
 IL Is therefore with his usual inter- est at bettering conditions that he sug- gests to congress that the supreme court should be entrusted with insti- tuting some beneficial reforms in com- mon law procedure, and the authority to do such is within the power of congress to give, In recommending It to congress to give the supreme court the power to frame a model code of procedure, which while preserving all tnat IS valuable and necessary of the rights and remedies at common law and equity he believes that 1t will lessen to a minimum the burden of the poor litigant, in the expedition and cheapness with which his cause can be fought and. defended through federal courts to final judgment"
 Experience at law will denonstrate the justification for any legislation which will serve to lessen the burden or the litigants. It is matter in which all irrespective. of party are in crested and to which due considera- ton should be given

NECESSITY OF SANITATION

Typhoid fever is such a constant and deadly menace, according to pr A. c.

A fair com parative ratio of typhoid mortality among the people of this country indi- cates a death rate of 25 Der loo oOo as compared with 6.5 in the large cities or northern Europe. We get greatly alarmed over the appearance of cer- fa:n diseases. but the terrible enemy which we have in our midst all inc time and the insidious devastation of |sica works with such continuity passes almost unnoticed. and as a mat ter of fact,
 Sanitation is what is necessary in put a check upon the heavy toll paid each year. It Is matter which needs 70 De taken up everywhere throughout the country, @ question which can well receive the attention of the govern nent as to interstate waters and like Nise the state legislatures for the pur- osf Of overcoming pollution of creams and potable waters. A most satisfactory test has been made by the government with the sailors and sol- aiers in the use of typhoid serum and It shows that 1t accomplishes its pur- pose but far better is it to adopt such sanitary measures which will overcome the necessity of inoculation.

woRKMEN's COMPENSATION.

Throughout the country and in fact in congress much interest is manifest ed in measures which concern the workmens compensation. Sixteen states have enacted laws upon this subject and Connecticut it is expected will at the coming session of the gen. eral assembly. For the purpose of broadening the scope of the federal act to make it better amendments are before congress.
 It is claimed that money paid under the act from August 1, 1908 when the act went into effect amounts to over a, million dollars. In this con- nection the solicitor general says: f"The prompt payment of compensa- ton at time when the bread winner is stricken and money is most need ed, without forcing the claimant to pursue an elaborate, expensive and dil- ,atory process of proof, is one of the striking benefits of the act. Being in it's nature remedial statute, it is rightly susceptible of a liberal inter pretatiop, in order to bring home the benefits intended. Such has been the interpretation regularly applied by the secretary of commerce and labor, with out, of course, disregarding any of the limitations of the statute, or extend- ing it beyond it's terms"
