RAILWAY sTDELIGHTs.
,(Ansonia-. sentineI.)

{ (Ansonia[ sentineI.)
 Significant comment bearing upon the railway situation in Connecticut Is printed in the Hartford Times which appears to have secured an tn- terview with someone who pretends to be familiar with railroadihg and who side experience than as an official in the office. The Times says: Rail road men also insist that traffic ctn never be satisfactorily handled be- tween Springfield and New Haven un- til a four-track system is installed between those points Said one:, Two tracks are wholly inadequate to care for the volume of traffic which passes over the line; the passenger trains are so numerous that freights are continually being sidetracked in order to maintain the passenger schedule. With the use of four tracks one. track each way could be devot ed entirely to the freight business and conditions would be greatly improv- ed,
 :. The crews are not to blame for the present unsatisfactory condition of affairs; the men do all in their power to keep things moving, but too much is expected of the men, con tinued the railroad eulploye. who also said that one superintendent and his staff are unable to give sufficient at tention to the entire division. go large is also held responsible by railroad men for several of the recent wrecks. the claim being made that too much is required of a force of section men. In this manner it is claimed. the track and roadbed are allowed to de- teriorate. and serious wrecks are the resuIt''
 While none of the above appears to be official, 1t nevertheless is interest ing .as indicating the growth of busi- ness in Southern New England and the consequently increasing demands upon its system of transportation. We are growing in every way; then why should we not find ourselves ourgrow- ing our railway? And why should not the New Haven. road experience the same difficulty in securing ereIi-' able, competent help that other cor porations experience ? Car shortage, also, such as is reported all over the country, must contribute som ewhat to the hurry, furry and occasional be- fuddl em eIt. es
 In this connection if is well to re- mind readers that on Saturday the New Haven railroad, siny addition to it's ordinarilp heavy traffic. sent twenty-three special trains into and out of New Haven. carrying many thousands of people to. and from the Yale-Harvard football game, without accident Not a- slip was made, not 9 hair ruffled. We hold no brief for the New Haven road, but Saturdays good record should be placed on the credit side of it's account with it's patrons.

EvERETT's CHARGES.

The Hartford Times notes news item in the New York Tribune, in which George B. Everett tells the condition of the New Haven tracks, alleging that kicked five spikes out of the ties between Wesport Greens Farms and pulled three by other facts of like sinister import.
 The Times properly says that either this statement wrong thinks somebody should take notice.
 The statement that conditions of this nature the New Haven lines wasrst made Everett to Coroner John J. Phe1an after the wreck of the Westport
 Everett took the to the scene of the wreck pulled spikes with his naked fingers in the presence coroner kicked chunks out of ties and otherwise good his charges
 The coroner in his person did just what Everett had done All of these facts of in the test nony taken by MT. Phelan. There is doubt about them They there and newspaper and other wit nesses present when Everett knowledge and ye- racity exhibited.
 little later wreck occurred at Milford and here again rotten ties found and spikes and the roadbed appeared to be bad shape this upon Independent investigation.
 The facts quoted from the Tribune earlier in this newspaper the form of interview with Everett who says that he able to take anybody wants to go to the spot where he says the bad conditions exist
 We suggest that The Times take responsible men in it's own employment if it wants evidence and thus satisfy itself what the truth this matter so ipor tant to the public.

The trial was outrowth of the savory Lawrence affair which the underpaid wool and cotton workers strike and received peculiarly treatment the hands of their employers and authorities.
 During the progress of the strike Anne Lopizzo, killed by bullet fired by nobody knows whom. For what purpose the evidence failed to show.
 The accused were indicted for murder upon the the ory that they had melted riot and that life lost in the progress of riot they guilty of murder.
 The against them very much less than the against the Haymarket rioters whom hung following the throwing of bomb after fiery speech es had been made in a Chicago meeting. Many years ago, the late Governor Altge1d characterized the quality of justice in those trials and condenatons
 The Lawrence seems to have been purely an eff fort the part of the powerful wool barons and obedient to them in public office to make justice struent for working private ends against labor agtators
 The attempt fortunately, has failed, and in more than for had the three gull ty and imprisoned executed, their story would have been told to the world in such way make them martyrs 1t

WORK FOR MONEY
 BUT STAY IN SCHOOL.

They do not allow working to in terfere with going to school in Ham mond. Indiana. Special arrange n1ents are made whereby boys and girls may work half day5in certain commercial esta blishments and at tend school the balance of the day. Hammond is manufacturing com munity, where the temptation to boys and girls is strong to leave school and earn a living. Supt. McDanie1's plan makes it possible for boys and girls to earn money, remain in school, and also make themselves more eff cient industrially.
 The plan at Hammond is based on a full realization of modern social and industrial conditions. Supt. Mo Daniel proceeds on the theory that, while there are certain general prin- clpies underlying all education, each community has it's own special prob Iems that are too often disregarded in the making of the schools Be- sides the cooperative school and snol, arrangement, Hammond maintains night school with an attendance of TOO where boys and girls may not only make up elementary deficiencies, specific phases of commerce and in- dustry.
 Vocational guidance forms another feature of the Hammond plan The schools furnish information about the various industries in the community, the salaries paid in different linens Of work, the opportunities for advance rnent, hours of labor, permanency of employment, and all the details that are of value in determining a choice of employment.

AS TO CHEATING.
(MiddIetown Sun. )

Many people draw a line between private and public cheating but they call things by different terms. F. P. Dunne, in the American magazine for new way. Among other things he says:
 people feel that political dishonesty is force upon men who regard them selves as leaders of human progress the conviction that they must play the game fairly and that bribe-giv- ing and bribe-taking are as shame ful as forging notes, or cheating at cards or pulling a horse in a race. Of course, there is no comparison between
 "A man who would slip an ace up his sleeve or bribe jockey to put a sportsman compared with the man who will SOW corruption through the whole body of a community in order to gain an unfair advantage in the game of politics let decent people who will shun a blackleg of the race course or the card table will not hes itate to take their dinner publicly in the company of man who is .avow- edly corrupt in his relations with the government.
 "A card shark is kicked out of the game. One lapse condemns him for ever. We have -knownn- of a brave and i've think) honest man. who was pursued to his grave by the mere ru- nor that he cheated at cards. Yet q man may cheat at the far greater game of politics he may sell his hand to an opponent, or throw away the stronger hand for a bribe, and be none the worse off i'll the opinion of the public.

FIRST THINGS

The first really effective talking machine or photograph was the in vention of Thomas A. Edison, and the principle of the machine was first an nounced by the wizard thirty-five years ago today. The phenomena on which the photograph is based was discovered by Edison while engaged in experim ents for a totally different end- Following the announcement of the eminent electrician on Nov 27, 1877, number of inventors in Amer ica and Europe took up the idea, but their machines were very crude. For ten years after his first revelation MT. Edison did nothing to perfect the in vention. Then, perceiving it's won derful possibilities. he gave it much careful study, and in 1889 produced the phonograph substantially as it is known today, although vast improve nents have since been made The tinfoil first used for cylinders or rec ords has been replaced by a wax composition. Long an object of de- rision, the talking machine is now an artistic. and commercial success. reproducing with marvellous exacti- tude the voices of the worlds great est singers and orators.

sHOPLIFTING.
6New Britain Herald. )


 As the holidays. draw near and the counters of the rnechants are being stocked up with goods the shoplifter becomes more bold and plies his ne farious profession with astonishing vigo. He has already begun work and there isn't a city in the state which will not be visited by him dur ing the next six weeks and his thefts az whole will foot up many .thous- ands of dollars It has seemed inn possible to prevent such stealings. floor walkers may be as watchfui as it is possible and yet the shoplifter win get by him with his plunder con ceaied in some professional way un- til he reaches his home or hiding place where it is deposited and he re- turns to further activity.
 The police in every city is on the lookout for the shopIifter and he is often caught and punished. It will be remembered that it was only a few years ago that New Britain parties were sent to state prison for such an pffense. This is a form of crime which the police cannot prevent: the most it can do is to apprehend the guilty parties after the crime has been com nitted. The merchant can do better, he can watch his goods and perhaps prevent them from being stolen, but it is going to be 8 difficult task. He can. however, prevent his losses from being so heavy.
