Those who would be severe in im- posing restrictions on immigration should ponder over the possibilities in the hands Of unborn future genera tions, whose forebears, if not admitted here may go on to Canada, or to South America.-Waterbury Republican Only five New England congress men supported the Hohson nation wide prohibition amendment. Prohi- bitIon sentiment is not very strong in the northeast section of the country, years as a horrible example of the workings of statewide prohibition Springfield Union.
 The weather man has a rather de- based idea of humor. Otherwise he week ends in succession of the sort we have just endured. But he can rel deem himself by cutting out the storm signal now, making "clear, fair and mild" the slogan for the rest of Christmas week.-Ansonia Sentinel Until the persistent reports of serl- ous unrest in the Philippines are of fieially confirmed, it is probably safe to assume that they are at least gross ly Exaggerated. What is certain, how ever is that Congress cannot exercise too great care to SVO1u- GnCOuTa81nR among the people of the islands any hopes that cannot be fulhlled.-sBridge- port Standard
 No penalty can be too severe for men who make a living by selling poisons to school children who know nothing of the dangers and suffering that goes with it. This is worse than any phase of the liquor business and it would seem as if some of the oppo- sition was withdrawn from one and directed against the other it would do a great deal of good. The drug evil needs attention and a great deal of it. New Britain Herald
 Bridgeport's board of health will ask the city council for an appropriation of $2o0,0 900 for the erection of two in- cinerators for the reduction of the garbage and vast of the city.

Garbage must be definite ly disposed of by the city that creates it, and not dumped upon some other ommunity.-Hartford Courant.
 Special delivery packages from New York to The Republican. were, on sev- eral days last week, delivered next morning, while other packages sent by ordinary mail from the same office at the same hour have reached us the same night. This is one of the vagaries of the present day postal service that makes business men pray to be deliv- cred from government ownership of telephones and tslegraphs. There is some reason to the express companies @Nv eel post has been accompanied by the slowing u7 of the Waterbury Republian.
 We cannot in reason expect either the express companies or the Parcel Post to carry for 564 days in the year enough men, machinery and equip ment to take care of a wholly illogical and periodical rush on the 365th daSy To do so would entail a burdensome expense and would impair the efficl- ency Of both services. The public should be willing to put up for a few E'days with the condition which 1t alone creates. So far as Bridgeport is con- l cerned, the Christmas rush was hand led admirably; to the tired employ es of the Pareal Post q very generous share. of credit is due for a eonvinc- . ing demonstration of the growing power of the governmental baby
