WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Uniformity is one of the vital fea- lures of carrying out the requirements Of state regulations. It is important that wherever new laws are to be put into effect, calling fer a decided change in existing conditions, that they should be put into operation alike in each and every town. l. is therefore an ex- ce1cnt idea by which the superinten- dent of the state police was actuated tlt calling together for a conference all the sealsrs Of weights and measures throughout the state.
 The enforcement of honest weights and measures and the making of all Gsers of such conform to the standard, Is bound to have its greatest benefit when each and every inspector fol- lows the prescribed course and in sists that what is required for one city or town is necessary for all cities and towns of the state. It is unreasonable to suppose that what is permitted or forbidden in one place should be allow ed in another. It is the best and fulI ob- servance of the law which ts demanded and this can be obtained only by uni form action.

pIsREcARDlNe DISCIPLINE.

The recent strike on the Delaware and Hudson railroad was one of those which revolved about the important question of maintaining safety in oper- alton. When the two employees, over whom all the trouble was caused were discharged it was because of their carelessness in the operation of a train of which they had charge. It was one of those accidents the overcoming of which is necessary if safety is to be maintained and where every neglect Of care and vigilance is bound to lead to trouble. If the accident was one for which the men were not respon- sible they should not have been dis missed, but 1t was t9e roads opinion that discipline called for if.
 The strike Followed and as the cas- lest and cheapest way out of it, through the advice cr the mediator. it was quickly ended by the reinstatement of the men. It brought about needed fe- lief but as the New York Commercial says: The affair has demoralized dis cipline to a greater or less extent on every railroad in the eastern district and if has undone most of the good work which Howard Ellfott has en-

WIscoNsIN's EueENic LAW.

It has been in operation only brief time, but the eUgenic law in T5sco1- sin has revealed the uselessnezs of @-- deavoring to enforce such q radical measure. The decision Of the c9u-- in holding it to be -utiora3 brings to a climax 9 situation which has aroused widespread opposition That an appeal will follow is pro5z Bla but under the circumstances there seems to be little possibility Of he finding being oyerruled. T. is the ex- pected result of legislation which Wis consin attempted to enforce. and which has attracted the attention Of the whole country. Wisconsin's mistake seems to have been made in endeaY0r- ing to accomplish by one fell sWoOp what must necessarily be c gradual attainment whenever it is brought about and in which education must play an important part. There can be no question as to the high pur- pose of the law and the need for de creasing the diseased and degeuerates which is proposed, but 1t must be at tempted within reason.
 The experiment and experience of Wisconsin is, as was anticipated, g helpful lesson to the other states. T. Is bound to serve as a guide whenever others are moved to such legislation. Wisconsin has taken a forward step in this matter as it has in many others concerning new legislation and by profiting by the endeavors and errors of the lawmakers of that state help ful assistance is offered in avoiding the danger of overdoing This subject is one which is bound to receive increas- ing attention but it has been made plain that the too radical ideas may be intellectual and accomplish less good than the gradual strengthening of the laws.

ARouslNa STATE INTEREST.

It Is only te be expected that inc Rhode Island corn growers associa- tien would be endeavering to raise the standard of corn growing in thai state, Such is its natural duty but in con- nection herewith it is not only pl1r- suing the usual course for stimulating
 interest among farmers but it is back ipg the. eommendabIe idea of direct- ing greater attention to and therefore
 bringing about larger consumption of
 state grown products. The purpose is
 to interest the state in its ambitious
 undertaking and the plan deserves en- couragement for it Is upon such an awakening that a great share of the success of the movement for greater
 agricultural efforts must depend. This is 8 project to which other states besides Rhode Island could well
 devote their attention. Just so much
 as the patronage of home made pro
 ducts in all lines of industry helps
 the municipality so will the arousing
 of interest in the state grown pro-
 ducts make a market for increased production of Rhode Island or Con< necticut grown corn. For states where but quarter of the acrea ge is at pres ent under cultivation, and then not to it's most profitable extent, this un- dertaking with the proper cooperation by the people of the commonwealth and the response of the farmers to the opportunity which lies before them, should be of much value. It is an idea which while it is advanced by those interested in greater corn pro duction can well be applied to all other branches of farming People will always buy at home if there is benefit from it and that benefit can be given by the proper study Of the demands and profting from the aid which scientific methods offer to cul- fiNafinn

THE RUNAWAY BOY.

The problem of the runaway boy is an important one and cannot be given too deep consideration for the benefit of those who are thus inclined and the effect which such attention may have upon their citizenship. The lure of the larger cities furnishes the op- portunity for this to be best under stood therein, and it is such centers which are necessarily in a position to render most valuable service in check ing the results.
 How large a problem and how great the possibilities is revealed by the statement of John c. Collins, repre- senting The Friends of Boys society of New Haven who finds upon exam ination of the New Haven police rec ords that in the past seven years 564 different boys under eighteen years of age have-,b been arrested there, and 154 were found to be runaways from some city in the state and 40 from outside the state. The records show that the number of such arrests is growing in stead of decreasing, and accordingly that there is not only greater oppor- tunity but greater need for work which will keep such lads from de- veloping criminal tenGencies.
 Mir Collins thinks it is a. mistake to give them a ticket back home to the same environment in which they were discontented and this may be q logical conclusion, but such will not apply in all eases. It is a fact in many instances that they haSe had all the experience they want knocking about the country and are content to re- turn home. In others, less discontent might be manifested in the surround ings where they locate, but it is man ifest that they ought not to be left to pattern from older men who may be Of the worst sort. The agency which can and will lend a hand in giving such boys a chance and interesting them in becoming good citizens is serv- ing high purpose.
