fective and insufficient to stop the evil.
The prime minister's speech is consd
cred an indication Of the government
policy, and is believed to foreshadow the
introduction into parliament of bill
for the prohibition of all spirituous drinks
in Sweden. Such a law would command
the support OF the royal family. The
king is a strong temperance advocate
and the crown prince is a total alb
stainer.
A prohibitory law would be likely to
meet with opposition from France.
Sweden has "A big trade in wines and
spirits with France. and she depends
unon the French money market to finance
many Swedish enterprises.
There are fears that the exclusion OF
French wines would encounter retana.on
in the form of the exclusion OF Swedish
securities from the Paris bourse. A pro-
posal to increase the duty on wines in
1904 had to be dropped because the
Franch Government protested and threat
ened to bar Swedish consols from the
Paris Stock Exchange.

An expert in the matter of wills,
lawyer of distinction and experience, calls
attention to the fact that many wills
made by rich men are Illegal and are
broken because a few simple principles
are not followed. 1t is remembered that
the will of Samuel j. Tilden was broken.
although he was one of the great lawyers
of his time 1t is also a curious fact That
wills written by the testator are generally
held to be good. 1t is when lawyer
is employed to write provisions which
are not legal that trouble comes. Ihls
is because so many rich men try to tie
I'D their fortunes for generations after
they have passed away, and it is well
that they fail so often. man who can
not leave posterity to manage his money
would do we'll to dispose of 1t while he is
living.
Another reason for so many broken
wills is said to be that men are notorious
" prone to put off making them until the
last moment, that they generally look
upon their first will as a draft to be
changed later-and then they die. The
wise man is he who either gives away
most of his fortune while he is alive
If he has a lot 10 dispose of in an unusual
manner-or who leaves 1t to the law to
dispose of in the natural way.
A cause that is good after man IS
dead is good before he is dead. 1t saves
tremendous amount to give 1t to char
liable or benevolent purposes while alive,
and the satisfaction of seeing the bene-
ticiaries enjoy ii Is one Of the greatest
blessings which money can afford to any
normal human being.

American police officers do not take
kindly to the suggestion of the London

WALES MAY WE'D OLGA
Daughter of Car Likely Some

Special Correspondence of The Star.

Specidi correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. July 81, 1913.
There is scarcely royal princess in
Europe whose name has not been asso-
clated at one time or another with the
Prince of Wales as his future bride. II
Is recently reported. however, that there
has lately been some serious converse
ton over his choice of wife. His selec-
ton of future Queen of England is of
course, a momentous one. but there is a
disposition on the part of the king to
allow his son a free choice as far as
possible The latest name suggested is
one that would be in every way suitable
the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia. the
daughter of the car She is a very
beautiful girl. with the Madonnalike
beauty of her mother, but without her
extreme reserve and shyness She is
bright well informed and during her
schooldayS was very receptive.
Should such a romance be brought
about, 1t would be the case of the grand
children of two sisters marrying. mas
much as the Empress Marie of Russia
is the grand duchess grandmother, and
her sister, Queen Alexandra, is grand
mother to the Prince of Wales.

Much Speculation as to Who
Her Attendants Will Be.

Special Correspondence Of The star.


LONDON, July q. 1913
Already there is considerable specula-
ton as to who will attend the Duchess
of Fife on her marriage. The royal
family is rather short of suitable
princesses for this purpose: indeed. the
only three that readily come TO mind
are the brides sister. Princess Maud
Princess Mary, only daughter of the king
and queen. and Princess Patricia Of Con-
naught. Therefore it is highly probable
that the remainder of the bridesmaids
will be chosen from the ranks of the
peerage, and that the Duchess of Fife
will invite several of her personal friends
to attend her.
There is an interesting report current
to the effect that the Prince of Wales
probably will act as best man to Prince
Arthur at his wedding, but this is not
yet confirmed. 1t is, however. quite likely
that it will be SO. Already the preliminary
arrangements for the marriage are being
discussed and ii is fixed for October 10, at
the Chapel Royal st. James Palace.

Trousseau All English.

The princess royal has decided that the
whole of the trousseau for the Duchess
of Fife shall be of British manufacture,
even to her boots and shoes. She is thus
following the example set by the queen
upon her marriage, when everything she
wore was manufactured in the United
Kingdom. The wedding dress for the
youthful duchess probably will be CON-
posed of Irish lace, as has been the case
with every British princess who has been
married for the last half century and
| more. The princess royal and her daugh-
ters have for several years past been
very warm supporters of the Scottish
nome industries. and her royal highness
Will place large orders there in connec-
ton with her trousseau. 1t is hoped To
manufacture the wedding ring of Welsh
gold, SO that every portion of the United
Kingdom is likely to be represented on
the person or in the wardrobe of the
Duchess on Fife when the eventful day
arrives.
Those who are looking for considerable
ceremonial and large assembly at this
wedding are likely to be disappointed
since it is the desire of both Queen Alex
andra and the brides mother that it shall
be as quiet as possible, and the guests
other than members of the royal family.

THE SUGAR scHEDutE

Sugar Is going to be one of the inn portant commodities in the tariff measure which will command a large amount of attention and provide a topic on which there will be a large amount of discussion. It is realized by the president that there will be a hard fight against the plan to admit sugar into the country free. That it should be done is his desire. but the offer to compromise the proposition and not make sugar free for three years indicates that he realizes that any such removal of the tariff is going to cause harm to the industry in this country It is because of the harm that it would do that the opposition to free sugar is being manifested
 Beet and sugar growers have been developing their business in this coun- try In an encoura ging manner under the existing conditions the beet su gar industry showing marked gains a doubling of acreage being reported from season to season.

coNNEcTIcuTs CHANGE.

When Pennsylvania through it's leg islature took favorable action upon the acceptance of the proposed seven- teenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, it was the thfr- ty-ffth state to express it's desire for the ratification of the change which will give the country the election of the United States senators by direct vote of the people. How general the sentiment is in favor of this amend ment is indicated by the haste with which the state legislatures have given 1t consideration and thereby expressed the sentiment of the voters of those states for the right to cast their bal lots for their representative in the upper house of congress. The demand proposed change could not fail and the favorable action of one more state, the vote of two-thirds being required.
 There is no reason why Connect icut should not have that honor. and thus be included in those common wealths which desire this important and beneficial change The IegisIa- ture is in session and in this state as well as throughout the country this betterment of the conditions which surround the choice of senator is de- manded- It gives the people the right which belongs to them, and the knowI- edge that the corruption. delays dead locks and misrepresentation will be done away with.

TAFT AT YALE.

That was a rousing reception ana a proper one which was given by New Haven and Yale to William H. Tart on his arrival to take up his new du- ties as Kent professor of law in the university. It is not only an unusual honor to welcome an ex-president to the faculty but included therein is the added distinction of an alumnus and a former m ernber of the corporation.
 This new relation which Mr. Taft es-
 tabIishes with Yale promises to be one
 of mutual importance inasmuch as
 the university is given the valuable
 addition of a rich fund of infor nation
 to be disseminated among the student
 body by a master hand at law and on
 the principles of government. This
 means the placing of such knowledge in the hands of those who need it for
 their future guidance and the part they
 will play in the guiding of the nation.
 From his personal standpoint Mir.
 Taft takes up duties which are in
 accord with his preference. His de-
 sire to return to the practice of his
 profession. the law, was in his own taken as president in filling the va cancies on the bench, a consideration which he was not required to g1ve but his view of it was that fairness de- manded that no chance for embarrass- ment should be given the Judiciary. His knowledge of law makes him a most valuable professor at the uni versity and as an upholder of the constitution there could be no strong

GOOD ROADS,

Widespread is the recognized value { of good roads and the importance ot l them is realized more and more every | day. but in this connection there Is the growing need of doing well what is done in the way of improvement and then taking care of it. In the state of New York. where a large bond issue had been passed for the better
 ment of the highways. the governor S
 advisory committee on good roads has
 submitted tWenty-three recommends
 tions.
 Concerning these the New York
 Tribune says they are generally ad- mirable'' and maintains that Some of them are uf great importance, such as that ids are to be constructed or improved not solely for the benefit of automobile vehicles and that new methods of construction should not be extensively adopted until their mer- it's are satisfactorily ascertained. There Is at least one of them which deserves to be written if not in gold then in asphalt. macadam or some other appropriate medium of preser- vation. It is that maintenance and repair work should receive as much attention as new construction"
 Tn this connection full consideration should be given to the importance of permanent construction, in order that the roads will be at their best and that as much as possible of the outlay for repairs. which is most necessary duty in connection with mainta ming goods roads, can be overcome when the road s built. The maintenance of the roads is as important as their construction but equally so is the put ting down of roads which will wear and last.
