UNPOPULAR FIREARMS LAW.

Firearms manufacturers follow with interest the turn that the Sullivan fire arms law is taking in the state of New York. This law provides that no one can have a firearm in his pos session, without first taking out license, this applying to all weapons, including those kept at home for the protection thereof. The result has been that the police have gathered in many thousand dollars worth of fire arms of all descriptions. and by the provision of the law destroyed them by carrying them to sea and throwing them overheard. There was enough in the cargo to equip a goodsized Mexi can army, but all are now in Davy Jones' locker.
 Insurance men claim that the dis arning of the law abiding citizens has led to an increase in the number of burglaries and hold-ups and it op- crates to protect the law breaker and ruff1an Magistrate Corrigan of the metropolis now joins in the protest against the law. With his experience and opinion gained from his official capacity, giving expression in opposi- tion, it would seem as though the law was bad and needed a change. The law hurts the firearms business to a certain extent, but it's repeal will open up an avenue for additional business.

NEEDS OF THE LANGUAGE.

There is much merit in the appeal of Alexander Graham Bell in urging the advisability of an international agreement on g. universal alphabet to represent the sounds of speech after a uniform system. When he gives examples of the absurdities of our speech he only bears down lightly, for the irregularities of the English Ian guage are well known. Mr. Bell takes deep interest in such matters and sees the chance for the English han guage to become the universal Ian guage, if there was standard of pro nunciation. To the foreigner, the English language has many absurdi- ties and proves one of the hardest to learn and understand. The methods of spelling and pronunciation are a puzzle, for while t-h-o-u-g-h, though, is pronounced tho, t-h-r-o-u-g-h is not pronounced throw; yet foreigner might think so. In the same way, enough is pronounced enuff, but cough is not pronounced cuff, nor COW the same as plough is pronounced blow Rough is not pronounced row, but a foreigner might be justified in using sough for so, sew, or sow
 Simplifed spelling overcomes many of the difficulties, but no particular system is recommended; in fact no recommendation is made except the wise one-that an investigation should be made tending to a change that will overcome such ridiculous conditions.

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FLOOD.

Here in the east, little is known of the ravages of a goodsized flood and the great damages and suffering that h causes. High water has at time done some damage in a small way in this vicinity, but no devastation of the country through which the river flows ever results to give an idea of the conditions when the Mississippi over flows it's banks. There is no regular ity about such @ period of high water, nature springing a surprise which in- undates the entire Mississippi valley now and then. Reports cannot describe the river rising 52 feet, breaking it's bounds, and have one here fully com prehend. Expenditures to prevent such floods by embankments run into the millions but the river at such time knows no bounds, and in a night, channels, on which the government has spent millions, are changed, and high water every spring changes the navi- gation route on the river.
 The danger from floods. however has decreased greatly as the result of the systematic work thereon, but the rise to within three feet of the record tells of a mighty rush of water i'm possible to curb. The Mississippi is a vast highway of commerce and in providing $35O.000 at once in an en- deavor to strengthen levees and pro- vide all possible protection the gov ernmeut acted wisely and expeditions ly. Over S2O0, 0,0O0,000 has been pro- vided to deepen the river and it's trib- utsries so that some day, though it will not bs in the near future, this great force will be under control, it is hoped

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.

The conditions found in many mill villages and cities today, the unrest of the employees and the opposition to higher wages. are attributable, in large degree. to the immigrant. The desirable immigrant will always be welcome, and one of the best ways to secure him is to take stringent meas ures to keep out those who are un- desirable Immigration figures for 1911 show that there has been de- crease in the number over 1910 by 160,000, those who came in 1911 hay ing numbered 1,030,O00. Half of these were from southern and eastern Eur ope, and a third from northern and western Europe. Nearly SO per cent. of the immigrants were destined for Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania, and S1 per cent for the section east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac one quarter be- ing illiterates.
 In an effort to meet the immigration problem many have advocated the dis trTbution of these people over larger territory. There is difficulty in this pAcA1lg ctO LAACg dA AO CAAIAACA by the question of supply and demand for labor. Unable to get a living in big center, they are likely to go where help Is wanted and wages better. Ex- cept the settlers. they have little pref erence as to where they go. but they are attracted by the question of wages.
 Congestion cannot be benefited, as long as cheap-labor demand is met by importing the help, and conditions among those people cannot improve. How frequent have been the experi- ences here of having aliens given the job of an old employe, simply because of cheaper wages. When the alien learns the job he wants the same wages as his predecessor, and the ex- perience is repeated, meaning a con tinued state of unrest.
 Immigration has done it's share of good for the country but with the many agencies at work the best in 1 terests of the country and people mus be considered in meeting the prob lem, whether by further restriction ol by distribution.

ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY.

In his latest message to congress on economy and efficiency in the gov ernment service, President Taft has taken up in detail his previously de- clared policy of cutting down the enormous government expense. with out loss of efficiency. In fact. under the plan he proposes, he provides for more expeditions handling of the gov ernment's business with less people and less money involved. He has been able to dig into this problem of ex- pense through the services of an in vestigating commission, which has faithfully performed it's duty A num- Der of radical changes are included in the recommendations which will re- suit, if adopted. in saving each year S11 100000 or more for the reduction of indebtedness or for the extension of activities already under way. From the changes in the postoff1ce depart ment alone it is estimated lover $10,- 100000 can be saved, a sum worth trying for The effort to get the post office department firmly placed on a profitable basis is evidenced by his desire to get the postmasters of the first and second class offices in the classified service, which means being subject to competitive examination under the civil service rules. Expert anced and trained officers in charge of first and second class offices, in pref 0rence to the present system of select ing postmasters, seems to be a key note for g. better business policy in that department, worthy of hearty endorsement, and the removal of such of1ceholders from the class where po- Mtical patronage has of late been al luded to.
 With the same end in view, he sees the opportunity for more efficient service by the abohshing of the rev Onue cutter service. which is now botl of a naval and civil character. ant dividing those characteristics where they can be more effectively and prop, srly taken care of, under the depart ment of commerce and labor, the un- necessary vessels to go to the wal department.
 The whole tone of the message ring; with assurances of better condition! and the conservation of many millions of dollars. directly and indirectly Much clerical work now done by twt persons can be handled by one, ant fin the postoffice department he implies that the postmasters are paid too mucl st present, and that a fifth more thaI the assistants are receiving now, ant no assistant. is sufficient. Econom, and efficiency are valuable fellow workers

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
An Old Reminder.


 MT Editor: The interesting story about MT. Seymour in The Bulletin of April 1st called to my mind a news paper cut that might have helped to the Identification of the acrobatic gen tleman, and which also recalls another chum of his, Alfred Mcclellan. The cut-enclosed-bears the likenesses of the two men, under the title of Rice Bros" and was likely clipped from a printed programme. The date is not shown, but as I have occupied my place of business since 1888, and the picture was tackled up in the workshop when l took possession, 1t has been preserved over 25 years. Some admirer of the twain had stuck it up there, and l could not find in my heart to take it down before. The superscription to the pictures, Americas Greatest Gym nasts and Acrobats," shows that the boys were not tardy to recognize their coming fame, but met it more than half way. When you have looked at the relic yourself, MT. Editor. you might mail it in the enclosed envelope. if you will. to Arthur Seymour. to keep for future reference.
 Respectfully yours,
 JOHN TROLAND.

At a university mass meeting in
 Woolsey hall. Monday evening, the new athletic constitution proposed by the University Athletic committee was passed by vote of 6s6 to ITS. A two
 thirds vote was required. The new constitution goes into effect immediate ly. It creates one organization. The
 Yale University Athletic association.
 which shall have charge of all branch
 es of university sports. The members
 shall be the captains and managers of
 the University Football, Baseball and
 Track teams and Crew, the president
 of the Minor Athletic association and
 five additional members, graduates of
 the university. The term is one year.
 The election of managers is the most
 important part, perhaps of the new constitution, touching as it does, the relations between Shelf and academic.
 The members of the association will choose the managers from members Of the class of the College or Scientific school which will be the senior class in the next collegiate year. The as sistant managers shall be chosen from the members of the class of the College or Scientific school which will be the i junior class in the next collegiate year Two of the assistant managers must l be from the college and two from the scientific schOol, Tor a period or al least seven years from date of the adoption of this constitution. Second assistant managers for each of the teams and crew are to be likewise chosen from | the two classes, From the second as ] sistants will be chosen the assistant
 managers and the Freshman managers | and from the assistant managers, the
 managers. In thus dividing up the i managerships evenly between the two 1 departments, and the introduction of a kind of competition, 1t is believed that
 higher degree of University unity and good feeling will be brought about, as well as placing Yale athletes on a 1 firmer basis.
