STATE HIGHWAYS.

The matter of improved state high ways is one which is going to be more important than ever before a the next session of the general assembly. The value of good roads has been given broad recognition and with such in mind this state has made large expen- 6tures fer the betterment of the high w1ys of the state in accordance with x well devised plan. This has meant the imposi ton of large expense upon the stats and the issuance of long term bonds. Connecticut has an incom- pGe3ed system of roads which has brought much benefit and widespread a#preciatIon but with the wear and bear and the damaging influence of fast moving vehicles the lack of per mAnency has come to be fully realized. With the need of good roads and the trial which has been given to those constructed. there has arisen g just de- nand for perr1anency. Otherwise the maintenance and repair account is go- ing to keep uQ a heavy drag upon the state resources, meaning practically a million a year for this purpose alone
 Conn necucut wants the best results in the construction of it's state roads. It wants roads from which the great esL aAnount oi SerN4Ce call De SecuI eu for the least expenditure of money and with a declaration by the high way commissioner that the require ment for funds can never be expected to decrease if the roads are to be kept in condition. the question of revenue and the type of road becomes at once one of the states big problems, and it is one which deserves thorough consid- cratic if 1t is going to be properly solved

NOT AN ENviasiE POSITION

Though many might like to have the power which rests with Premier Asquith in British affairs for use ac- cording to their own dictates, none is envious of the position which he holds today as the result of the develop ments under the home rule bill It is not a Comforta ble place which he oc- cupies facing the trouble which Ulster has kicked up and the development of weakness in the government concern ing the control of the army With the misunderstanding the backing and n1ling which has been done and each succeeding step bringing forth resig- nations Of high officials. together with revelations as to how everything hap pened the deyelopn ents were enough to worry even 3 leader of the preniers S caEber.
 The necessity of demonstrating that the government has not lost and does not intend to lose it's grip was required and this is set forth in the declaration of the premier that he will never as sent to demands from any body of men in the service of the crown of assur- ances Of hypothetical character from the government. This is a, vital posi- tion if the dog is going to do the tail wagging. It is demanded if the government is going to hold together. To yield in this crisis would mean the surrender to the army and that the military and naval authorities rule in stead of parliament. While it has been declared that force will be used if necessary, the situation, though pre- senting as Lloyd-George says as grave an issue as any since the days of the Stuarts. calls for a settlement without recourse to arms

CHANGE FOR COMPARISON.

The determination of a question of much importance to every state in the union promises to be greatly as sisted by the action which has been taken by the department of cor rection in New York city in the chang ing of many methods for the care of prisoners, and this in particular as ap- piled to women. Changes have gone into effect there for the abandonment of the old time prison garb and the substitution of dresses which are more pleasing to the eye and more desir- able, by a change in the character of the work. and even to the change in the proposed new city prison from cells 10 rooms. This is all for the pur- pose of changing the character of the prison to that of house of detention and the exertion of whatever influence such attention can accomplish towards reformation.
 The former methods followed a line of reasoning which looked to the ac- complishment of the best results through punishment and the imposi- ton of conditions which none would care to return to. Under the new idea it is proposed to use the jail for the overcoming of delinquenciess through encouragement of higher ideals and a demons tration to those who enter that they need not abandon hope. It is in line with the prison reform move ment which is receiving widespread attention. From it the opportunity of comparing the results with those under the former plan will be afforded and it is to be hoped that the excellent results which are anticipated will be realized If this should follow it would be one of the greatest reform movements which was ever inaug- urated.

IRON AND STEEL MANUFAC-
 TURES

Tn the industrial life of this coun- try one of the greatest contributors to business activity and one of the important barometers as to existing conditions is furnished by the iron and steel bus&neSs. This has shown re- markable growth during a period of ten years and 1t is a noticeable fact that of the production of such man ufaetures in this country about S5 per cent. are consumed at home, leav- ing but 15 per cent. for export trade.
 Some idea of the great distribution which is made of such goods is re- vealed when it is learned that Amer ican made locks are adding to the se- curity of homes in India and oriental countries. Our bathtubs are a house. hold necessity in the West Indies. Tur- key, Japan and China besides Euro pean and American countries Car wheels, rails and locomotives go to Japan Argentina and Cuba, while cash registers and typewriters are being manipulated all over Europe, North and South America, Canary Islands.

SCHOOLS AND SUMMER VACA.
 TONS

The schools should provide some kind of instruction for the children through what is now, in most cities, a long, wasteful vacation" is the declaration of Dr. ClaXton, United States commissioner of educa ton, in urging the continuance of some kind of school activity during the summer months.
 He is not disposed to disregard the value of proper time for play but be- Iieves that good use could be made of the great amount of time which now goes to waste, for his suggestion is that such summer work last not long CT than four hours-from seven or eight o'clock until eleven or twelve giving the remainder of the day for play and recreation
 Every long vacation brings a large amount of waste time. After a certain amount of leisure the children find that time hangs heavy on their hands and unless something profitable is pro- vided for them to do, mischief and harm is likely to result. The summer schools and the p1aygrounds are serv- ing an excellent purpose in overcom- ing such dangers while the idea of small gardens also serves to occupy the time and attention. Rapidly is the need of some such profitable activ- ity being recognized particularly for those children who are situated that their vacations must be spent at home. The idea of the all year school is con- trary to a long established precedent and it will require no small amount of argument and demonstration to bring about a change. Dr. Claxton probably realizes that he has an uphill task, notwithstanding the good use which can be made of time not needed for rest or play but which is abso- lutely wasted.
