 Few states have had a history pie necticut. within whose confines events of nationwide importance have taken shape. Mir Clark has written a his tory in the fullest and best sense of the term. He has not merely marked off a series of events stretching from the early geologic time and .t the later days of discovery and settlement down to the present, he has supplied the at mosphere in which the successive his- toric periods were steeped.
 It Is safe to say that not an import. ant phase of the history Of the Con- necticnt region. from the Mesozaic age, when it was the romping ground of the gigantic dinosaurs. to the pres ent, when 1t harbors national indus trial giants and many of the import ant, insurance associations, has been neglected in this painstakipg, brilliant and scholarly history.
 The author has been most success fuf in working out an interesting and instructive excursion into a vital and inspiring field and nowhere is it prob able that such a valuable collection Of the facts can be found assembled in one volume Attention has been given to the development of Connecticut ir; all it's lines from it's earliest days to the present.

STEEL RAILS.

Perhaps nothing in connection with faflroading has been given any more serious study than the matter of rails Such of course are vital part ot every system and the contention be- tween the railroads and the raiImak- CTS has been productive of excellent results fin the elimination of defects and the securing of more satisfactory equipment
 While it has been extensively charged that the defective rails were the result of insufficient attention al the time of manufacture 1t has like wise been claimed by the manufac- turers that it was the increased bur den placed upon the rails which con tributed to the number of defective rails. 1t is this contention which is supported by the recent decision con- corning the wreck near Westerly, where a defect was found which could not be discovered until it had been worn to the surface of the rail, in the opinion of Inspector Belnap of the Interstate commerce commission.
 When 1t is realized that there have been 175 deaths 6.004 injuries and damage to the extent of s6,235,T93 be- cause of defective rails in ten years, 1t is easy to understand the action of "a Pennsylvania road in deciding to

SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.

f isn't too early to again give se- riot,s thought to the uphoiding of the safe and sane observance of the Fourth of July. From the preparations which are being made by different n1iintci- pziitfes throughout the country there is no Indication of a decline of interest in the much preferable method of eel sbratfng the nations great holiday. It has gone beyond the experimental stage and the appreciable decrease in the number of deaths and the long list of injured is sufficient to forever replace the careless and dangerous nethod with ths reasonable and prop- CT
 Just as great opportunity is per- rftted for the arousing of and dis play of patriotism and without such sad and appalling aftermaths as have characterized the day. The safe and sane agitation has put a needed check thereon and in a manner which fndf- @kas that if has come to stay, It is, in fact, . preventive movement where humanity Is directly involved and where if cannot fail to be understood that an ounce of prevention overbal- ances pounds of cure
 The useless waste of fife and limb which comes from the reckless and too strenuous observance of the Fourth cannot fail to force a thinking public into the realization that it doesn't pay. The money which is necessary for fu- neral expenses and doctors bills where there is no limit to the manner and method of celebrating. could be bet ter used and display great deal more patriotism through sane but effective celehrafion

FLYING TO EUROPE.

Even though some of the leaders in aviation are skeptical over the suc- cessful outcome of the attempt to cross the Atlantic by aeroplane and have advised against 1t. offering at the same time the suggestion that a flight of equal distance over land be first negotiated, there cannot help bo- ing great amount of interest in this undertaking which is now shaping it. self for the trial this summer
 Some wonderful things have been accomplished in the navigation of the air and so much so that the world is prepared to see most any sort of an undertaking succeed. but the ocean offers an obstacle which has not been thoroughly tested out. The advantage of being able to alight on and rise from the water which is obtained through the latest types of flying ma chimes is an indication of the progress which Is being made in aeroplane construction and offers, in this partic- ular instance. great encouragement to the hazardous undertaking.
 Aviation has gotten beyond the dreamy stage and is advancing every day, of which there is no better indi- cation than the very fact that the long ocean flight is to be attempted. The distance to be covered is 1850 miles. over two-thirds of such dis fance, or 1850 miles. having already been covered in a single day by an aeroplane. Thus the attempt is not being made without some basis of the power of such machines and whether it succeeds or fails it means much to this branch of science and provides the Stepping stone to the ultimate accom- plishment- It is test upon which the eyes of the whole world will be cenfered

RESERVE BOARD NOMINEES.

The sending to the senate by the president of the nominations Tor mem bers of the federal reserve board, ai : ter delay of several weeks occasion ed by the unwillingness to serve ol several who had been desired as mem bsrs. furnishes matter for prompt attention by tine upper house or con- gress. The selection of this board has been receiving the careful atten- ton of President Wilson, who has been cognizant of the importance of se- curing the best men.
 While much preliminary work Is be- ing done by the committee on organl- zation with the expectation or put ting the system into operation by the first of August there is none too much time allowed for the members of the board to familiarize themselves WHh the duties which are imposed upon them. There is reason to believe that they will be given an early approval They have been drawn from the sev- eral sections of the country and se- lected for their qualifications and upon their merit, the only method by which nominations should be made for offices of such responsibility. Per-
 haps the greatest incentive for such
 selection lies in the realization by the
 president that upon his judgment does
 a great share of the success Of the
 system depend.
 Those who have been selected to
 fill the places of those first designated

OF STRONG NAVY.

With the action which has been taken by Greece in the taking of two
 islands and the demand for better treatment of her subjects by Turkey, new interest is created in the pro- posal which has come from that coun- try for the purchase of two of our battleships. Complications of an sun- foreseen character are always liable to arise in that region, but it is evident that the navies of the respective coun- tries must play an important part in any dep,onstration of a warlike atti- tude which is made.
 There seems to be good ground for
 the objection which Greece has made to the treatment accorded Greeks in Asia Minor, but whether there was
 method in bringing the matter to a focus just at this time remains to be
 seen. The action of Greece in seek ing to strengthen her navy follows
 Turkeys purchase of the dreadnought from Brazil now nearing completion in England. The deals which involve this
 purchase and that which concerns the
 buying of our ships by Greece are at
 such stage that neither could be made use of if war should be declared now.
 Even though Iurkey, Whcn IS aIlX-
 ious to get back some of it's lost ter
 ritory, is forcing the issue, the fact
 that it's dreadnought is not finished
 would require it to remain where it
 is if war is declared as we'll as mean
 the end of the Grecian purchase, thus leaving the navies unstrengthened, but from which Greece would be the great
 CT sufferer. Thus a strong Greek
 navy is liable to be an important factor for peace in that section just now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Intend to Keep Treaty Promise.

Intend to Keep Treaty Promise
 MT. Editor: have been waiting to get straight with MT Lamphere of Water ford who some weeks ago said MT Mahan will vote against repeal of canal tolls, and I am afraid that MT. Rrandegee will vote the other way" Well 1t turned out just as our friend Landphere said but what of it? First the democrats of Connecticut who are Wilson mer-as far as tolls arc con- cerned, must stand by Brandegee against their own pet Mahan, and the publicans of Connecticut who have been showing up Governor Baldwin on the Panama tolls controversy, must honestly stand by Bryan Mahan against MT. Brandegee who voted as Baldwin talks. Nice mix up isn't 1t {? If you do you don't. and if you don't you do. But away beyond all argu- ments as to what either Brandegee or any democrat might say or do on this question comes one great fact. When the latter called on President Will son and asked him to assist them along woman suffrage lines-and by tutional rfght-Mr. Wilson said "the democratic platform did not declre for woman suffrage, etc, etc. Now then the democratic platform did not declare for repeating the Pan- anna tolls either, and not only that but talked one way before election and another after.
 I myself believe that the free toll idea was wrong under present treaty conditions, but Woodrow Wilson didn't have the courage to say so before elec- tion-his first and only election.
 The American people intend to keer every treaty promise even if 1t is a mistake but incompetents drunk with prospects of victory couldn't see this until after election. Now that they have seen it let's all unite in saying God forgive them, they know not what they do.

 This book for girls will be found particularly interesting by those who like a fascinating story of travel told in bright and attractive manner, re- lating as it does and as the title in dicates the happy experiences of two young people in search of pleasure an l knowledge, gained from the fruits of their handiwork. It is an entertain ing tale woven about events which cannot fail to please.
 In addition to the clever and easy style in which 1t is written it has ex- tra interest here from the fact tha: the author Florence E.. Scott is a daughter of Rev. O. W. Scott, pastor of
