enough to listen to her. She trained
them to revere the family. but she
never ceased to rejoice that the girl
of his father. They had providen-
TALLY escaped the stamp of the
Sandses.
Sixteen years passed. Jimmy had
paid for his little house and saved
some money. He kept his finances
separated from those of the family.
He was poor, and made no pretence
of being otherwise. A dinner party
for the family cost him severe econo-
my afterward but the dinner party
was a branch of the family institution
and could not be dispensed with.
During those 16 years Jimmy and
Julia had discussed every phase of
their joint lives save one. They never
discussed the family. Julia forebore
on Jimmy's account, Jimmy forebore
for some reason of his own. Perhaps
he felt that the affairs of the family
were. like Scripture, too sacred to be
discussed by one SO humble as him
self. He probably never. suspected
that Julia pounded the old cushion,
many times recovered for that pur-
pose. And Julia never suspected that
he did aught but reverence and adore
his people.
When the patriarch's wife died sud-
denly and the patriarch followed her
revelation. Taylor Sands had been
a too indulgent father. He had de-
MED his own children nothing. The
fortune that he was supposed to have
had gone into blooded stock, new
buildings, trips abroad and other ex-
penses. He went SO suddenly that
there was no time for preparation.
The collapse of the inadequately prop
ped structure of the family's finances
occurred Immediately thereafter. The
great show farm had never been self
supporting; neither had the fashiona-
BILE clothing establishment. For a
time the air was full of ruin and dis
appointment and despair and chagrin.
Jimmy went calmy on his way. He
had never expected to benefit by his
foster fathers death. He was not dis
appointed. He had no vast expecta-
lions. His wife was not moved frac-
ton out of it's course by the cata-
clysm.
IT can take care of you and the
kids; I always have" he said to
Julia, with his arms around her
Il always trusted to you to do it,"
Julia replied, and she mussed up his
rough hair with a loving hand.
You're a wonder, Jimmy
only to you, honey, I've always
been a pretty poor proposition to the
family
It came to Julia with full force that
the family as an institution no longer
existed. She drew a deep breath.
Never mind the family now, DEAR"
she said.
But don't you feel you're free for
the first timer" Jimmy questioned
looking into her eyes.
oh, Jimmy, then you've understood
all along!" Julia cried in astonish-
ment.
You bet I've understood-for six
teen years; ever since came home
In hn limo 1Sf n
and found you pounding that old red
cushion. I never let on, no, STREE.
but 1 knew, Julia, you're the wonder"
They chung together half laughing,
half crying.
After supper they went out and
made bonfire and burned the old
red cushion. And as its smoke as
cended, Julia felt the shackles fall
from her. She was free to live her
own life now in her own way. And
Jimmy was free. The family had
ceased to be their jailers.-PhiladeI-

NEW AUTO LAW EFFECTIVE.

The new automobile law passed by
the last general assembly, carrying
such changes as were considered ad-
visable from the law as it has exist
ed in the past, is now in effect.
Among other alterations is that con-
corning the passing of trolley cars
which are standing to allow passengers
to alight and get aboard. In such in
stances it is required that all auto
mobiles come to a stop ten feet from
the rear of the car and then proceed
at q slow rate in passing the car. Not
a few accidents have occurred and sew
eral deaths resulted from the failure
on the part of auto drivers to give
proper consideration to humanity I'M
der these conditions. There has been
a disposition on the part of too many
drivers to place the entire burden of
responsibility upon the patron of the
electric cars. Proper regard for the
rights of others have been glaringly
lacking to such an extent that new
legislation to cover such contingent
Cies was required.
1t is needless to say that the change
in the law was made with the idea
that it should be observed. The new
statute having gone into effect, it is
therefore important that each and
every driver should acquaint himself
with its provisions and use his ut
most endeavors to comply with its re-
quirements. A great many have al
ways taken just such precautions and
can be expected to now that the law
is in operation, but for those who are
inclined to disobey there should be
strict enforcement and this in partic-
ular upon narrow streets, where the
danger is always the greatest. There
ought, however, to be little occasion
for arrests in enforcing the observance
of such a sensible and reasonable high
way regulation. Every auto driver
should however acquaint himself with
the new requirements.

WE WANT THE BEST,

If, as it is claimed, the submarine
begins to approach the obsolete stage
after it has been in operation for a
period of two years, one of the best
reasons is advanced for the direction
Of greater attention to this branch of
our navy. 1t adds further support to
the criticisms which have been made
in the last few months of the condi-
ton of this country's submarine fiotilla
both from those who have been direct
ly connected Herewith and those who
have acted for the welfare of the
country. If the recent maneuvers
were necessary to bring their exact
condition to the authorities who had
previously refused to listen thereto,
it is unfortunate that such a trial was
not resorted to. months ago.
In view Of the disclosures and de-
spite the attitude which he has main
tanned in the past, Secretary Daniels
apparently recognizes the course he
has followed has not displayed the best
judgment Disposed to look upon the
criticisms as purely political, he has
been inclined to ignore them and to
even cut down the recommendations
of the naval board. He has ordered
now in the way of Investigations what
should have been started months ago.
The submarine is as important a
part of the navy for this country as
it is for any of the rest. 1t has been
shown by the war across the water
that it plays an Invaluable part and,
with country having a coastline like
this, great dependence can be placed
upon these undersea vessels built upon
the latest lines and equipped with the
latest devices. Every idea which can
be gained and incorporated in the
specifications for the new vessels of
this type which are about to be built
contribute so much to the country's
defense. Vessels of the obsolete pat
terms are not wanted. None but the
best will do.

MUST MEET RESPONSIBILITIES.

When a Berlin newspaper declares
that Germany cannot be frightened
into accepting the views Of this coun-
try concerning submarine warfare, it
takes a view which is entirely wrong
There is not and never has been any
hope of frightening Germany into do
ing anything. This country does not
operate upon that basis. 1t has had
no such thought and does not propose
to act as a bully or intimidator. It is
not engaged in staging bluffs.
Instead of trying to brighten Ger
many into doing something this coun-
try is only endeavoring to have Ger
many live up to its agreements, re-
spect international law and give prop
er consideration to the rights of hui
mainly. If compliance with such de-
mands is being frightened into action
no country ought to be averse to be-
ing frightened into doing what is right
Germany has proclaimed to the
world and affixed it's official seals
thereto that it will abide by certain
agreed conditions in case of war. 1t
has subscribed to the rights of neu-
trails on the high seas and to the
methods by which merchant vessels
and their crews shall be treated. Yet
in spite of all this it has chosen to
ignore its word. 1t has by its sub
marine policy gone entirely contrary
to what it agreed to- 1t has thrown
to the wind it's better judgment and
not only used inhuman and unjusti-
fed methods against its enemy, but it
has included therein the neutral ma
tons even to the loss of American
property and many lives.
The idea of trying to brighten Ger
many or any other nation is beneath
this country. It is in reality trying to
bring Germany to it's senses and a
realization of the fact that it has re-
spopsibilities affecting this country as
a neutral nation which it is not meet
ing, but which should be met.

WALsH's BAD JUDGMENT.

Perhaps Chairman Walsh of the fed
eral relations commission thinks that
the people of this country and those
before whom he speaks have the utmost
confidence in his utterances. If so.
that idea should have been dissipated
long ago. Perhaps he relies upon his
statements being believed because he
has been singing out for attack the
Rockefellers, but there again he is mis-
taken, for the American people de-
mand first of all a square deal and
whether it is a Rockefeller or any
other citizen, he has a right to ex-
pect and should get a fair hearing and
fair trea tment If he is going to be
judged, he must be judged rightly and
not by the distortion of facts. To
make statements based upon testi-
mony given in the hearings of the
commission which are not in accord
ance with the facts belittles not only
the position which Chairman Walsh
holds. but it discIoses his unfitness for
the place and his abuse of the office
1t is an imposition upon the head of
the nation who appointed him and the
members of the commission with
whom he sits.
Invariably a public address by Mr.
Walsh has been followed by absolute
1enials upon the part of the people he
has attacked or upon the part of those
ne has chosen to quote. The latest
address made Sunday is now confront
I'd not only with the denial of the
twisted testimony which he endeavors
70 fasten upon an official associated
with the Rockefellers. but with the
actual testimony taken from the STEM
ographic report of the hearing. How
he can expect such declarations to be
believed is beyond comprehension.

From one in his position it is to be
expected that there would be a strict
adherence to the truth. His entire at

cion upon the forthcoming report of

are careful to make clear that no such
errors of judgment are committed in
its compilation.

The wave of jitney bus accidents
which hit the city Sunday means only
one thing: that the owners and opera
tors of Jitney buses must Immediately
go on their good behavior, or that the
common council of the city of Bridge
port must take drastic regulatory
steps. Competition in the jitney bus
business is responsible in a measure
for the difficulty. Drivers must learn
that they have no right to speed
recklessly in order to get ahead of a
competitor in picking up a passenger,
or in an effort to pass trolley car,
where the conditions of traffic do not
permit of such passage with any
degree of safety. The jitney bus is on
trial now before the tribunal of the
public. The most important element
entering into its possible success is
that it shall be handled in a manner
conducive to the safety of it's pas
sengers, and the general public
