MUST PREVENT HUMILIATION

New York must have for a long time felt itself in peculiar position because Of the manner in which it's laws and Justice have been circumvented in the Thaw case but il must also have been awakened to Il determina- ton that both justice shall be carried out in accordance with the decisions which have been given and that the legislation necessary to pre- vent such a situation in the future shall be enacted. This case has been the cause of large expense to the state and the end is not yet, but 1t Is an expenditure which the state must rec ognlze as necessary for the mainten- ance of respect for such laws as it has. Many will recoil when their pock- etbooks are affected and for this req son an effort is being made to bring influence in New York against the fur ther pursuit of 1haw through a peti- ton asking the assembly to refuse to permit further expense for Jerome and other counsel
 Such a petition is one which de- serves no consideration. The return of ThaE to New York state is a duty which rests upon the state and re- gardless of the expense as long as le- gitimate, no steps should be left un- taken. Thaw and his money have play ed with the Empire state for many years and the experiences have point cd to the need of better laws for the administration of justice and these are likely to be obtained but it should never be attributed to 9 penurious state assembly that money could be made to warp justice and secure free dom for notorious criminal

AN IMPORTANT ENGAGEMENT.

Reports from, Mexico concerning the clash of the forces of rederalS and rebels near Torreon indicate a realiza- ton on both sides of the importance of the contest which has been begun. It is a battle upon which a great deal depends, and it is for the purpose Of gaining every advantage which is af- forded by a favorable outcome that each side is straining every nerve.
 The uncertainty of the first reports adds to the difficulty of interpreting the progress which is being made but if the early and bloody struggles are a true indication of strength General Villa has met the hardest proposition in his campaign and if he wins it will be as the result of superior general ship and fighting skill. The later re- ports while favorable to the rebels, in dicate the severity of the combat and the large loss of life To the federals there is the double problem of not only resisting the attack of the constitu- tionalists but of guarding against de- sertions from their ranks. How ae- rious this feature is is shown by the execution of a number of skilled ar who had been pupils of the rebel chief of artillery, for fear that they would desert and become of great assistance to the forces of Villa Thus will the result of Torreon have a most important effect upon the Mexican sit uation not only in the victory to be gained but in the influence upon the federal troops elsewhere which may be unsatisfied and wavering, and still Villa must realize that his promise to be in the city by the end of the month will not be the easiest job that ne has undertaken

CHANCE TO COMPARE

While concessions have been made by the government in reaching the agreement with the New Haven road for a breaking up of the system they are far less than those which have been agreed to by the chairman of the system. No concession has been made by the department of justice which was not entirely justified and for the best interests of the roads which are concerned. An insistence upon their demands without such concessions would have been placing an uncalled for penalty upon the innocent
 The granting of more time for the dissolution and sale of subsidiaries with the chance Of extension by court permission, still leaves New England facing the results of the forced break ing up Of its transportation system The outcome Is uncertain, but as the New York Times says: That railways operating separately can serve the pub lie better than when combined is con trary to all experience. The reduction of railway rates in the era of con selidation has been due to the com binations which have been formed When combination is forbidden the costs o< competition must be paid. and rad not in rates alone.

AN ANNUAL REMINDER.

The suggestion which has been made that Triangle day be recognized in various ways for keeping in mind the observance of law requirements, fire drills in schools and factories is cer- tainly based upon the needs in that direction. Such a plan means the bringing to mind each year not only the frightful loss of life which resulted from the conditions which prevailed in that shirtwaist factory but keeps fresh the much more important necessity ot preventing through observance of laws and personal participation therein, any more such tragedies.
 It isn't to be supposed that it will be sufficient to give publicity to such an important matter on just one day in the year and get the benefit from if which is needed. but every effort in that direction will serve to keep be- fore the people the dangers which are to be expected from a lack of safe guards and failure to perfect the drills Most every city has had an example in proportion to it's size which ranks with the Triangle catastrophe and which serves a similar purpose in securing provisions against repeti- tion but the importance of keeping it in the public mind as a thing to be avoided cannot be too lightly regarded.
 Whether it is in the school or the factory constant attention to the safe ty of human life must be given and frequent tests made. but when it is realized how many lessons are provided almost daily throughout the country from which little profit is gained be- cause they are quickly forgotten, the worth of the annual reminder can be annreciated

New Haven combination will be re- peated when other links are separated. Efficiency will be reduced. Costs will be increased. The higher rates for worse service must be paid, or even that inferior accommodation will not be supplied. This was not what was promised when the campaign against the railways was begun as blithely as that against the trusts. It was not what was intended.
 Much food for future thought and action promises to be provided by the course which is being followed with the transportation system in New Eng land. The chance for the comparison of the value of one system made up of a number of units or of number of separate competing lines is prom ised by the agreement.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

 Now of course the proper thing for the Suffragists to do is to beat up few members of the senate and burn a number of public buildings because of the legislative defeat of suffrage.

 As Chairman Elliott puts it Bus mess particularly that of transporta- tion. in New England needs help and cooperation from the people, govern mental agencies, State and national, and the press, and chance to go ahead" If this cooperation and chance to go ahead shall prove to have been gained by the concessions made, the incidental sacrifices will be fully justified.-Bridgepor Standard.

 "Of course.' interrupted the girl on the window seat ruthlessly, Elmer wrote that he had never cared for any girl before as he did for me. He said 1 was a light in his dreary life. I can't begin to explain how seriously it makes You feel when man says things like that!"
 Mercy, I should think sol" gasped the girl who occupied the sofa cush- ions, breathlessly.
 After he finished high school and college and took a course in medicine Elmer said he would have something to ask me. And I resolved to be true to him. 1 had perfect faith in Elmer and it was all IsabePs fault anyhow. She has been crazy about him for ages. and I know Just how she looked pa thetic and sighed and everything! She is always complaining that this is such a lonely world.
 Naturally Elmer was touched. He wrote her a note that had all the love Hest quotations he had put in mine and told her the sun was shining oe- hind the clouds, and she showed It to me, deliberately! She said she was so happy that she had to share her Joy. So I told Elmer he was a cheat and perfectly horrid and he just got red and said. Huh! And when I asked him what he meant, he said 1t again and 1 left him standing there right in the middle of the crossing and walked home alone.
 .T suppose" concluded the young person on the window sill, T shall walk alone the rest of my life-but these troubles come to every one. Using my quotations on Isabel! There is nothing sacred to some men! He may be happy with her, but he'll think of me at times-in the twilight"
 Don't cry" begged the girl on the sofa pillows He isn't worth 1t! He'll repent some day when it's too late!"
 Do you really think so?" asked the blighted one eagerly. 'I hope he feels perfectly awful when he does! And anyhow-Im going to show Isabel all his notes !'-Chicago News.
