What the Other Fellows Say

How is the Enfield dam project to get any "forrarder" by swiping ride on a bill that's headed straight for a veto?- Hartford Courant.
 President Taft says he is looking for ward with eagerness to his return to New Haven and Yale. We are all eager for him to arrive.-New Haven Journal Courier.
 MT. Wilson isn't superstitious. He calls the extra session of congress to- gether on All-FooPs Day.-Pittsfeld Eagle.
 Everyone else seems to be going into the inaugural parade at Washington, but for some reason, the new president per sistently declines to march.-Hartford Times.
 Stratford, which was an old town be- fore Bridgeport was born, objects to be- ing made a bob to Bridgeport's kite in any way and wants it's own post office and carrier system. We glory in it's spunk, but the march of events is towards the absorption of the smaller by the larger, and, sooner or later, 1t will have to come.-Bridgeport Standard.
 We wish this Thaw business would thaw out once for all and give us rest. It has been nothing but long series of scandals with 5 written large all the way through it.-New Haven Union.
 There is much good food for thought in the point made by the Norwich Bulle- tin that in exchanging the present high way commissioner for a man whose prospects are bright and whose recon. mendations are high as an engineer and city official there is likely to be an ex- change of experience for. politics, with the result that the state, in, the end, will be the loser.-W Waterbury Republican,
 The Sunday newspapers are decidedly thrifty these days. Two-thirds of their enormous bulk Is made up of automobile lads. ."--Ansonia Sentinel
 A Seattle jury has awarded woman $22, 400 for the loss of half her little finger in railroad car door. There ought to be no shortage of dactylets in the market at that figure. Waterbury American.

The Trolley Accident.

The collision on the trolley line run ming to Waterbury Friday morning is involved in no mystery. The motorman ran by his signals in the hope of taking the next switch in time to avoid an ac- cident. Here at least is an accident for which the management cannot be held responsible and be subjected to court trial for neglect of duty. All the pre- cautions had been taken, orders had been issued to meet just such an emer- gency, and yet the collision occurred. It will be interesting to learn whether the indifference of the motorman and con- ductor to rules can in any way be traced to an inability on the part of the man agement to enforce discipline for all vio- Iations of the rules. The charge has been made that tue operating companies, both steam and trolley, have lost much of their control over their men, which in large part explains the frequency of railroad accidents. If this is so, it is time the public demanded of the proper tribunal such legislation as will protect them in transit. If the companies them selves are to be more and more super vised in the interest of the public, the men must also be subjected to the same restrictions, among them being the right of the companies to discipline their em- ployes. Organized labor cannot afford to stand in the way of the adequate protection of the travelling public. New Haven Journal Courier.

MAcDoNALD's PLEA.

Former Highway Commissioner Mac Donald makes no unreasonable request in hIs appeal for ''peace," nor may his frank and righteous request be construed as in any sense an exhibition of the ..white feather or streak of yellow.
 eI am now plain. every day citize,i,' says Mir. MaoDonald. "the same as any esher man, and I ask the same courtesy and consideration from the public and press that they would accord to any other man. For two years have stood the harshest kind of criticism without a whimper. have not talked back and have gone along with my duties to the best of my ability. Now it Is all over and think I should be left alone. I do not express this thought so much on my own account as upon that of my family. | can go on standing the criticism, but is there need of it now, and IS there need of causing unjust worriment to those near to me upon whom the abuse, just or unjust, heaped upon me, falls with very saddening effect? have done no harm to any man, have been faithful b the state. I shall do everything can for. my successor and all ask now is the peace to which feel rightfully entitled on my own behalf and the behalf of my famiiy.''
 This is manly expression that should shame that unreasoning and unreasona- bie element among MT. Macdonald s opponents who have continued to pursue him with venomous persistency and from motives manifestly iD no way re- lated to either honest party prejudice or patriotic solicitude for the cause of good roads or the welfare of the state. Those blatant and vindictive pursuers must experieuce sense of negative pride in their negative chivalry, in view of this frank submission of the former com. missioner on behalf of his family who have most keenly felt their brutal thrusts. So far from "whimpering," he had endured the unceasing abuse for more than two years without deigninR 10 notice his prosecutors, with that grim determination that enables him to say .4I have done no harm to any man. have been faithful to the state."

MT. Mallan Defended.

Edwin Farnham Greene. president of the National Association of Cotton Man. ufacturers, strongly supported the Mellen management of the New Haven syste m in an address before the New England Dry Goods Association at the Hotel Brunswick recently.
 II am one of those who believe" said MT. Greene, ''that there has been alto- gether too much criticism and too little help given to the railroads in this sec tion. Il sincerely believe that if the Boston 6 Maine railroad had not gone to the New Haven it might have gone to some other road that would have taken It further away. The Boston 6 Albany slipped away from us in night. The people of New England have missed a golden opportunity in not meeting the situation half way.
 "A strong New England railroad which controls the situation can dictate terms and rates in spite of the Inter State Commission to the distinct advan tage of New England. Mir. Mellen and his associates, I believe, are sincere il their efforts to benefit New England The Boston & Maine and the New Ha ven are New England railroads, and their success depends just as much or the success of New England as youl business. and my business do. It is z serious thing for New England to have thls present. state of hostility and criti cism, when most of us would be better off if we would try to do something con structive instead of destructive in tht railroad situation ''

The suggestion offered by Mrs Corbit last week that the Lower Cemetery be named Mountain View Cemetery seems an appropriate one, and in lieu of a better, the directors of the Cemetery Association can hardly do better than adopt it officially. In view of the active and self sacrificing interest Mrs. Corbit has taken in the improvement of the cemetery, it is meet and proper that she should have the honor of giving it a fitting name. Her generous offer to pro- vide suitable gate and entrance will still further entitle her to that distinc- tion, and it Is reasonably sure that her suggestion that a suitable iron front fence be procured, will meet with a hearty response when our citizens are approached on the subject.

The Whitest City in the World.

There cannot POSSIBLY be winter
city than Cadiz unless it be built OF
snow. The best way to approach the
port is to take trip on one of the
small steamers which ply between. the
ports of Morocco and Spain. AS you
n;ar the coast you see in front of you
a white mass, which appears to be
floating upon the water, just as you
are. The nrst thought of foreigner
is that he is in sight of an iceberg.
The white mass, glittering in the sun
and rendered more dazzling by the
blue sea and sky, looks exactly like a
monster ice mountain partly melted,
so that outlines of castles and hills ap-
pear upon it, but only for a second
does the illusion last, for you know
there are no icebergs in that part,
and you are quickly informed that you
are looking at Cadiz. No other town
in the world presents such a magic
appearance.-Exchange.

Cops Ready For Riot.

Cincinnati, O., May 1.-THE city au-
thorities anticipate serious trouble to-
day after the announcement that the
traction company had refused to rec
ogize the new union of the striking
street car employees. The company
this morning made the first effort to
operate cars since the tie-up of trans
portation Saturday. Three cars, sur
rounded by police, started from the
Avondale barns for the business dis
trict. Police detectives stationed along
the route we're instructed to meet
force with force. Mayor Hunt trailed
the cars in an automobile. Chief of
Police Copeland has an emergency
squad of hundred men ready to rush
to the scene of any disturbance.
