RESTS WITH AUTO DRIVERS.

Just how such frightful automobile accidents as that which occurred in New Jersey when the Borden car struck a locomotive causing the in- sfant death Of four people. are going to be prevented Is a problem which is particularly bothersome in that and other states which have the combina- ton of excellent highways and rail- road crdssings in good number.
 Like many other such accidents it was 3 case where no regard was paid to the danger of crossing a railroad track. Speed was the only thing given any consideration and as the result four lives were snuffed out like a candle There was no excuse for it. It was a collision that could have been avoided had there been the wil- lingness to slow down when dam gerous locality was approached. The disposition to take chance had not experienced difficulties of a serious nature before and, failing to profit from the many other grade crossins deaths. the practice was continued once too often, and lives other than those responsible for the reckless use of highways were taken,
 Grade crossings are fast being Alim- mated because Of their apparent dan ger. but until the time comes that they are all done away with there seems ne way of preventing fatalities when they are invited as it was in this instance, and as is the case h many other instances of disrespect- full regard for safety first. It rests with the driver or owner of the autos to put an end to such avoidable death plunges.

sRANDEeEE's ADDRESS.

With his usual clear and logical presentation of facts relative to the political situation of the country at the present time, Senator Frank B. Brandegee in his address to the re- publican state convention struck out straight from the shoulder. He dealt ably and impressively with the weak nesses, unkeDt promises and failures of the present democratic administra- ton and. as 1t gave him the opportu- nifty to so do, dwelt at length upon the disastrous results which the change in principles. caused by the success of the democratic party. has had upon the country. and particularly New England. Through the introduction of the democratic policies prosperity has been overthrown for present day con- ditions.
 As the result of the two years con- duct there is a lack of confidence in the administration and it's policy It is repetition of past experiences in departing from the true and tried re- publican ideas, so much so. as the senator well says, sTf. in lieu of vii. son and Bryan, this country could be assured that for the next two years a man of the type of William McKin. ley would occupy the presidential of. flee and have at his right hand. al the head of his cabinet advisers that great secretary of state, Elihu Root backed by republican congress, pros. pertty would return as if by magic Who doubts 1t? Tn an instant conf. dence would be restored. Our domesti, business would at once be re-estab lished, and. under the guidance ant diplomatic talents of the great Nev York senator, our trade relations witt the continent of South America vvou1t at once be put upon profitable anl enduring basis. Our prestige abroa, would rise from the depths to which i has sunk to commanding enainence Our reputation. our fiag. our commerce. our policies and OUT prosperity woul be the wonder and envy Of the world Such change might be purely 'psy chologfcaI,' but it would. beyond per adventure, be an accomplished fact"
 There has been experience enoug with democratic uncertainty and tn remedy lies in reestabIishing those rs publican principles which will brin pack confidence and prosperity. Tn irst step for such a move Is to re rtore the state to it's rightful place i he republican ranks, both for nations Ind state officers.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

As the result of the republican state convention two things stand out pron- inentIy before the voters of Eonnecti- cut irrespective of party. and those are that a reformation has taken place in the manner of conducting conven- tions and selecting candidates for of1ce and that the republican ticket for this falls election contains men who have been selected because of their high qualifications for service in the re- spective offices. Such Is in accord ance with the demands of the state and as the natural consequences it must make its appeal and command the deepest consideration. e--
 Because of the high class of service which he has rendered as a repre- sentative of Connecticut in the United States senate and the experience which makes the retention of such services all the more important at this time, the renomination of Senator Frank B. Brandegee was expected. He is the only man Connecticut can afford to send to the senate at the expiration of his. present term.
 In the choice of Judge Holcomb for the gubernatorial candidacy. it was a casa where the office sought the man and man of such experience, ability and integrity that he is peculiarly fitted to handle Connecticut's state problems as they should be administered for the states welfare.
 Throughout the, remainder of the ticket the delegates exercised good judgment in the choice of men whose qualifications are not only such as to make strong candidates, but to in spire the confidence of the people. In the selection of the republican can- didates the interests of Connecticut have been carefully considered The proper start has been made for re- publican victory this year.

DOWN WITH BLEAsElsM.

There are times when public sem timent is slow in getting Into action, but once aroused it can be depended upon to exercise sane judgment and bring about desirable results.
 Just now attention is attracted to the manner in which the people of South Carolina. have rallied to the overthrow of Bleaseism, a dangerous one man control of state affairs which has made the state notorious It has required some time for the conduct of the governor to stir the people of the commonwealth to action. but ahis wholesale pardoning of criminals, his disregard for law and the interests of the state and the sacrifice of the states weifare to the betteru1eflt of his own cause Couldn't be expected to go on forever. The worm has turned and the thorough manner in which the people have turned down such rule should mean it's end.
 The ambition of Governor Blease to obtain the nomination for the United States senatorship upon the strength of the backing which he had encour- aged was properly shattered. It was time for decisive action and the dem ocrats Of the state made a nAgnifi- cent response That q governor who | has given the state the reputation
 Cole Blease has should aspire to be its representative in the senate of the United States was enough to call fol
 the exercise of a. little common sense and it did. Similarly this week the
 Blease candidate for governor has also
 been beaten, and the two actions ars
 the best evidence that South Caro-
 lima has decided to turn over a new leaf. It Is an action which the whole lcountry can applaud.

OTHER VIEW POINTS


 It really is pity that the air is not clear so that the people of Con- necticut can get the full benefit of the political contest this fall. On both sides it is in both nominations and election, the most interesting stale campaign in a good many years. It is important, moreover. and offers tieipations.-New Haven Register.
 Necessity mothers invention. It is no time for American industries to sit down and bewail the fact that we need certain raw materials. If we need dye stuffs---Inake them at home. If raw sugar and wool are in demand so
 much better for the cane growers and farmers. If we need certain ores-tap
 our own mines--the ores are there. Each new want supplied by necessity
 means the creation of a new American
 industry. There are fortunes to be
 made on every hand. This is the time to plunge.--Meriden Record. The incomprehensible thing about the European war is why Germany should have sacrificed so much for whatever military glory could pos win she has paid a terrific price in blood, in lives, in treasure. woe, wFetchedness and colossal expendi- l ture, Tn addition she has thrown away her splendid merchant marine and vast foreign trade. for 8 long time at least: she has for years set back her remarkable leadership in science, mechanics and especially chemistry-Bristol Press.
 More positive approval of the new Wilson law permitting the organi- ! zation of national currency associa- tions could scarcely be given than | is to be found in the movement ot Connecticut national banks to this end. Twenty-eigtt of the seventy | five national banks in the state have 1 alread joined, and a New Haven re- port is to the effect that applications from other banks indicate that withi- a short time all of the states national banks will be enrolled.
