RESPECT FOR THE LAW.

The necessity of enforcing the law and the support of the officials proper ly clothed with authority, in the dis charge of their duties cannot be too fully realized. While there was no other reasonable course to be taken, the action of the city court in sen tencing and fining the men who offered such armed resistance and disregard for law and order. as occurred in the North Main street trouble, should serve as a lesson in obedience to au- thority and the law.
 Every reason exists for discourag- ing all such outbreaks against those who are carrying out the dictates of the law. That laws exist amounts to little unless they are observed and it is the enforcement of the observance, where evasion would be preferable, which secures the greatest respect. Personal interests were placed before the law in this instance and a, serious outcome was threatened by the action and attitude which was taken. It is un- fortunate many times that those who are actuated by their first impulses have to be taught in such a manner, but with the many instances where the police are looked upon as a common object of assault whenever opportu- nity presents, the need of overcoming that idea is apparent. Much trouble, time and expense could have been saved by the adjustment of the trouble over which the fight arose, through the proper channels. Instead it was intended that might should prevail with the result that tha lesson has been administered in a manner which calls for proper respect for police, au- thority. It should be applied every time occasion demands.

ARGENTINE CORN.

Tn taking advantage of the new tariff provisions there has arrived in this country a large cargo of corn from Argentine republic. This comes to compete with the home grown product and Is going to provide an interesting revelation as to the operation Of the new tariff, both upon the price of the commodity and upon the bus mess of corn raising.
 The object in placing corn upon the free list according to the democratic idea was to bring about 8, reduction in the price to the consumer. Corn is a product which is not only ex- tensively raised in this country, but there exists unlimited opportunities for the increasing of the production and widespread efforts in that direction are meeting with commendable yearly re- suits. Whatever competition in t'e way of price cutting is injected into this agricultural pursuit by the admis- sion of cheap corn grown upon the cheap Argentine land by cheap labor, should have a noticeable effect if the South American corn is able to bring about the expected reduction. This means not only an injury to the well established business but the putting of camper upon eApdhs1oH III ohe oA the branches of farming which is open to great possibilities.
 If the promise to bring about a re- duction in the price in this countrys $ market fails then the placing of corn on the free list will have been a vast ed effort, with the country giving in revenue and encouragement to the Argentine farmer what might better be devoted to the building up of the same production at home

A WARNING IN TIME

It need not necessarily mean that this country is in any danger Of war when General Wood in appealing to congress asks for more guns and an-- intuition for the army, but from his position 1t is to be supposed that he knows what he Is talking about when he makes the statement that it would be absolute slaughter if the army was called upon to go into a real war at the present time. It is not to be supposed that his declaration Is in any way other than a clear prcsen- tation of the facts as they exist, and the very advice which should be ex- peeted from an official in his positi sn. It is warning in time.
 The situation in the army is the same as in the navy. Just so long as it Is necessary to maintain. either it Is important that they should be maintained at such a degree of effi- ciency as to demonstrate their effec- tiveness should occasion arise. Jnst because similar statements have been heard before only emphasizes the fact that weaknesses exist. It indicates a lack of preparation, which it is to be hoped will never be tested. but should the occasion arise it would be a most deplorable condition to Dc caught under such a handicap after having been warned. Naturally an- munition and guns are as important to an army as tools are to work man. It must be evident to those who value the important factor which 2 properly equipped army is to peace that General Woods statement should moi go unheeded. Economy is a most com nendable thing. but 1t is not economy which allows the foundation Of any structure to gradually deteriorate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

age of once or twice a week ever since the road started and there always have been some conductors on this road who were inclined to be surly and discourteous and at times abusive, especially to foreigners. Several weeks ago a young Italian fellow in the seat back of me offered the conductor a bill and the conductor refused it, said he couldn't change it and that the fellow would have to get off. I changed it for him.
 This trouble, so far as I can find out. started in a similar way. Four Pol ish fellows took the car at Westerly for White Rock. One a stranger from Providence offered the conductor a five dollar bill. The conductor stuffed it into his pocket and said he would make change at the barn (Hallville.) When they reached White Rock change was demanded. The conductor offered change for one dollar but finally upon someone else's producing the fare re- turned the five dollar bill
 Three of the fellows returning on the last car found the same conductor and the matter seems to have been brought up again.
 I heard the discussion but thought it but a slight misunderstanding amounting to little or nothing until l arose to leave the car. When I saw and heard the conductor it was i'm pressed upon me tnaI lhe conductor was going to start something The conductor was accusing them of using insinuating and abusive language. which the others were denying as their languarge but asserted as coming from the conductor. l regretted leaving the car and started for the square, a block away, to see the finish. When I reached the square, the smallest of the three fellows stood by the car with blood running from eye ~<u nose The police took the assaulted. battered boy to the lock-up. l followed and asked to have him let out on bail The chief refused saying he had not been charged. When asked why the fellow was arrested, he answered.: Drunk enness and revelling. Revellig Feasting on fists. sic.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Capital, Brains, Labor.

One of the trinity of necessary things in business is capital; the other two are brains and labor.
 Of the three, capital is the most shy, slippery and sensitive. It is afraid of spooks. It hunts its hole whenever rumor appears and says "Bool"
 Just now it seems to be having one of its bad spells of fright
 What is the matter? Careful re- ports collated by the metropolitan dailies show that there is no ground for depressed conditions.
 As near as the economic experts can diagnose the case, the American people seem to be suffering from a fit of nerves. We are afraid the goblin'u git us if we don't watch out Brighten capital and you wound labor Stop the mills and factories ] cripple railroads and building, and who suffers? The capitalist can 1 lock up and go to Europe; he has re- l serves; the worker starves. Then
 come panic, bread lines, riots. | Will the gentlemen at Washington l sign and seal their plans and give this great American people, who have I plenty of money plenty of skilled ! brains and plenty of will to work, g i chance to go ahead?
 | Let the socialists and the capital | istic arguers wrangle to their hearts | content, on paper and on soap boxes; i let the party leaders whip to shreds | their worn platitudes; but in the l meanwhile give us a settled pro-
 gramme, so We can get to work

THE TROLLEY LINES.

The trolleys must go. Such Is the announcement made by Chairman FL liott after a lengthy conference with the government officials concerning the amicabIe breaking up of the New Haven system in compliance with the Sherman law. This will be heard with disappointment in not few sections. After realizing what great benefits have been given to the people of New England through the trolley exten- sions and service which has been af- forded under the existing ownership and control, even though it is all un- der one system, it is difficult to be- lieve that any better results are likely to be afforded under dissolution and the breaking up of the large unit into smaller ones. And if there is no de- mand for the change and no benefits to be obtained, what will be the profit of this section of the country from the proposed action?
 The prospect, however, that the trolley lines may be placed under a trusteeship for a term of years that there may be no sacrifice of value in disposing of them gives promise of allowing sufficient time for the work ing out of that important public ser vice problem in a way which will safe guard the company and the people. Just how important a part the public can play in the dissolution is un- certain. Usually it is little or noth- ing. but it can and should make 1t understood that it will insist upon the same high grade of service which ha 5 been developed under the existing owners. The dissolution must not be a step backward when it comes to serving this or any other state with trolley accommodations They have been consistently growing better and it is a policy which needs to be main tained under any new conditions.

THE COLOMBIAN CLAIMS.

The renewal of the demands of the republic of Colombia for the adjust rnent of the claim which it has against this country because of the action of this government in making Panama a republic, offers to the democratic administration the opportunity of con- tinuing the negotiations which have been underway for 8 number of years It Is a matter which has given concern before for the reason that 1t was felt that it was time settlement was reached. At the close of the last ad- rninistration perhaps the strongest ef- fort was made in that direction when 1t was endeavoreG to learn just where Colombia stood in the matter and just what her claim was,
 Much of the negotiations must rest upon the attitudes which are taken by the two countries as to the 3usti- ffcation of the act of this country Upon how close they can get together on that point will depend the terms of final settlement. Several propoEi- tions have been advanced and nuni- her of those closely acquainted with the feeling in Colombia have offered advace szpon terms to which Colombia

A Real Senator.

'In a recent trip through Connecti- cut, meeting people in all parts of the state, it seemed that everyone joined in an expression of appreciation for Sen ator Brandegee. In view of the history of Connecticut, one would not expect this state to send wild-eyed radical to the United States senate. By birth, instinct, education and environment, Senator Brandegee is just the kind of a senator one would expect a sane, level headed, orderly and prosperous state to send to the United States sen ate. He believes in progress. but he does not think that mere motion is necessarily progress. He thinks that motion in the right direction is prog Tess. He does not advocate changes simply for the sake of change. In his opinion one ought to look before leap ing. He does not believe in keeping on the move for the sake of mere motion He has always gone straight ahead himself, and has always moved up- ward
