FOLLOWING ITS DUTY.

It IS a proper recognition of it's dut V by the New Haven road when il an- nounces that 1t will fully comply with the recommendations of the interstate and public utilities commissions. It Is the only thing that can be done un- der the circumstances and it is the very action which ought t9 be taken prompt compliance with the sug- gestions which have been made is demanded In the interest of contrib uting to the safety of operation. The investigations have been a sour,e of much important information to the railroad regardless of the recominen- daticus which the commissions have made. Whatever might be the official opinion of the road concerning the wreck and their present method of operating, it would be the height of folly to attempt to go against the course which Is clearly outlined
 The opportunity is presented to the road now for establishing regulations 10 govern the competency of engineers and it must not be overlooked The responsibility for the operating of the road must rest upon the company aud such being the case they must es- tablish rules which will safeguard that responsibility and the travelling pub lie. Any opposition to such applica- tions in behalf of safety or the main tenance of competent engineers de- serves tO be properly understood be- for any future railroad trouble. rather than afterwards Labor can hardly ne expected to interpose objections to the proven demands of safety

COOLING OFF" PERIOD.

The suggestion which has been made by clergyman that there he instituted a cooling period of three months be- tween the hearing of a divorce action and the granting of a decision is one which deserves not litt'e thought and perhaps some amendments Any of benehtting society by delaying the hasty re-marriages which so often follow the divorce decree, and which are so often the cause of the petition. Whatever can be done U lessen tn divorce evil is deserving of widespreaG endorsement and if the cooling period'' should be found to be at all merito- rious it's extension from three mcnths to a year could well be made, and in the aggravated cases an indefinite time might be fixed.
 In many cases renarriage is the ob- ject of the divorce and yet in many instances judges at the present time realize that "a cooling period" is the proper thing in the interest of a recon ciliation. Numerous cases come before the courts where the parties may have legal cause for a decree but in which it is readily realized that foe the best interests of all, the wisest. course is a reunion. When divorce so often fol- lows hasty action the plan which will give to 1t the opportunity for calm and cool reflection should meet with encouragement to the end thae neither divorce nor remarriage should he en- tered into without proper considera- tiOp

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
No More Barbarians.

For many centuries those who want ed to make men better have pounded away at the individual For ages the church was possessed of the idea that mankind at large was doomed; it was nonsalvable and the best the savers could do was to pluck a few brands from the burning" Humanity was a goner; a few might be rescued as the elect
 It has been discoved that this sort of saving does not save. To secure a good, honest. upright and noble man we have to begin with great grand parents, and to include society at large
 The benevolence that gives a beggar a quarter has become suspected. To be real benevolent it must alter the conditions that make beggars.
 To imprison grating police and to rescue fallen women here and there seem to do little good more and more you hear the saying, Tt is the system that is wrong
 The conscience of the world is deep ening. We are not losing faith: we are discovering that to help people permanently 1t takes more faith than we ever dreamed of
 There Is a new note in the thunder of the modern conscience. It no more says we must rescue the fallen, feed the hungry and give aims to the poor: 1t declares that we must prevent crime. hunger and poverty.
 The cry of the ancient Rome was that the barbarians must be destroyed; |; the cry of modern civilization is that there must be no more barbarians

now and Independence forever from its accompanying prediction of cele- brating the day with bonfires and il- luminations, the booming of cannon?
 When is the declaration ever read in public nowadays? Seldom in the ears of the people, for the old-fash- toned Fourth of July pienics is aban- doned to give way to private family picnics here and there. Is it possible that we afe growing selfish in our ations?
 After all can it be called a safe and sane Fourth which called out the fire department so many time last Fourth Wouldn't most of us prefer to hear other bells ring in celebration of the day instead of call to the fire men to come to the aid of those whose property was endangered? Think you that those who found themselves homeless at night on the Fourth, felt that safe and sane Fourth had been any favor to them? In most instances we are told the confiagrations were caused by fireworks in the hands or careless children. Even the children are found to be regardless of aught else than their own pleasure. Their parents were probably enjoying the Fourth in their own way, and the young folks were left to themselves.
 The usual number of accidents from toy pistols seems to be reported, and the ordinary array Of DandaSeQ unS- CTS and thumbs seemed to be in evil dence on the following day. But the noise and all evidence of the Fourth of July was expected to be concluded at eleven o'clock, and our citizens were at liberty to have their usual sleep. 'Twould be great pity if they should lose any of their repose in celebrating the Great and Glorious Fourth.
 Now l presume you think the ld1er is becoming embittered in lamenting so at length over our recent Fourth. She should not leave you with that inn preSsion. Quiet or noise, old fashion or new fashion, anything which can keep well in mind the purport of the day and the event 1t commentaries should be encouraged. Let that fact be well kept in mind by some means, and the intent of the day will be met.
 Even for the sake of our rapidly in- creasing foreign population, the ob- serVance of the day should be made a matter of importance. They should not be allowed to feel that Americans care less for their independence than these late corners to our shores. For their sakes alone, respect and vene- ration should be maintained for the day we celebrate in proportion to what we realize its value. But like all things to which We have become accustomed, we allow ourselves to appear indiffer- ent when we really do not fail to es- teem them highly.
 So like Webster. I leave off as I be- gan Independence now and Indepen- dence Forever

Taxing Salaries.
by The Conductor.

q hear couple O highbrows to- day talkin bout this new law taxin peoples salaries. 1 dunno whether it's a law or not Mebbe congress is just talkin' it. It. don't hurt my corns anyway cause them fellows said mo- body gets soaked if his salary wasn't more'n $4,000 a year. That let's me out.
 Gosh. If I had 4.0O0 bones comin' to me for 8 years work I'd lay off for four years an let some other fellow have my job. Them guys gettin' $4,000 per don't need to worry bout taxes. But I hear one of 'em say tn new law was rotten cause. it let out anybody that held a office or had his pay fixed by law. Ain't them politi- clans cute? They get us nuts crazy bout 'em an boostin' em into fat jobs an en they lean back an look at us an say, My, but this town is full O strangers Us nuts holler for a income tax an them congressman say All right, give em all tn tax they want, but don't tax tn pap eat ers.'
 If a guy makes $4.0OO year play in baseball or runnin' a hotel. jump on him for taxes, but if he draws his money off O Uncle Sam, he gets kings excuse. Funny how them pap eaters can't live on ten times as much as any of em got when they was

They get $20 a day, Sundays an every day They don't pay no postage, an can send their washin' home all tn way to tn Ozark mountains for nothin An now when they go to taxin' saIa- ries, by golly, they whack everybody but 'emselves.

THE RAILROAD MERGER.

Concerning the New England rail l. road situation there appears to be 8 difference of opinion between inc ind ing of the interstate commerce com mission and the desire of certain Bos ton interests. The latter apparently is aiming at the breaking up of the merger which was the carvying out of a policy of development with the strongest kind of a belief in the fu- ture of New England
 That the merger is favored by the Interstate Commerce commission is the belief of the Springfield R4puoli- can. which says: "One infers how ever. from statements here and there, that the Interstate Commerce commits sion were it to express a positive opinion, would decide in favor of the merger. provided there could be ef fective federal regulation of the com bined system We are left. however, in the dark as to how far federal regulation should or could crowd out state regulation. And. from a practical point of view, this is some thing to be considered. If affects the question these six states are now up against If we can come to any con clusion whatever as to the comm is sion's judgment, it must be that the New Haven and Boston & Maine sys- tems should not be separated. yet nc clear light on the subject is foTthcorn- ing Possibly the question of the merger is to be settled by a govern ment suit under the Sherman aet."
 The chief trouble seems to lie in the fact that the confidence in this part of the country has failed to re- suit in as quick a realization of the ex- pected benefits as looked for. Th. de- velopment has resulted to the benefit and convenience of the public and the continuation of it's policy is sanction ed in most every state. There seems to be nothing to indicate that in the long run the policy would not prove a success.

Criminals Einaer Prints.

Dr. Heintl recommends a very good method for taking the finger prints of criminals this not relating to finger print records in an anthroponetric bureau, but where the record is to be taken on the spot where a crime oc- cured, such as on a wall or any ob- Ject which cannot be moved and where the print Is impossible to pho tograph on account of lighting or other reason. He makes use of very fine color powder so as to dust it over the prints which are of a more or less greasy nature. and in this way the

HIGH TIME FOR PEACE.

The war among the Balkan states has progressed far enough to show the folly of the struggle and the frightful waste of human life and resources The humbling of Bulgaria is one of the important results of the greed and overbearance which that coun- try has manifested throughout the en- deavor to bring the dispute over the settling of the spoils to a peaceful conclusion. Greece and Servia with the aid of Montenegro and the attitude of RoHmania have administered les son in a short time. but it was a war that should necessarily be short as their resources of men and money were limited. They had previously suffered great losses and the character of the fight among themselves has been hard and furious
 The desire for a proper disposition of the spells, which resulted from the combined effort to drive Turkey out of Europe, has been manifested by all but Bulgaria The appeal of that coun- try to have the powers use their in huence for peace now will likely be satisfactory to the others, though their position and their demands have been manifestly strengthened by their sue cess in the war which Bulgaria sought and inaugurated. It has been a cost ly lesson upon top of the elation over the success in the overpowering of Turkey. but it was a situation which Bulgaria should have shown diplo- macy enough to avoid. It is high time that the war should be ended and the spells properly divided.
 Bulgaria. is getting the setback which comes from selfishness ana overconfidence. Greece and Servia are a much different class of fighters than Turkey was found to be and the man. ner in which they are bringing Bull garia to her knees proves the value Turkey.

To know a bird by his song af- lords more delight than to know him by the color of his feathers. or the peculiarites of his flight. It must have been the birds who first taught the charm of music to the human mind through the ear. The birds sang and the winds whistled in ages when man was far below the oral or inStrum mental stage. Mans imagination led him to realize strange Gods before his heart prompted him to sing praises to them. This is my bird quartette!- What is yours?
