OTHER VIEW POINTS

The residents OF Milford, New Jer-
sey, have become excited and con-
siderably pleased over a discovery by
the State Archaelogist that the real
name OF a small stream hitherto
known as Milford Brook is nothing less
than "Queequaconnissique Creek"
And yet Milford Brook has achieved
nothing like the distinction of that
Massachusetts, pond which is known as
Lake Chargoggagogmanc hauggagog-
residents near both bodies of water
share the common American opinion
that Przemysl Is a queer and difficult
name.-Providence Bulletin.
Arbitration of the difficulties in
Bridgeport is the easy way out and the
practical way out, If the leaders of
labor there can be induced to see it.
The other way is to force compliance
on the part of the employers If it can
De done and temporarily secure their
point, only later to find that their VIC
tory was a boomerang, which had re-
turned to plague them. 1t is not nee
essary just at present to discuss the
claim that the strike at this particu-
lar munition plant has been en-
g1neered by German agents. No pos
tive proof has been adduced to prove
the charge and until proof is at hand
1t Is better to assume that the trouble
is due to the desire on the part of the
labor leaders to share in the harvest
that they assume is to-be reaped by
the corporations holding contracts
with the nations at war.-Ansonia
Sentinel.
The action Of Major S1ocum and the
Foot Guard in regularly en1isting the
Foot GuaTds's excellent band, render
| to the extent that any part of the
Foot Guard is liable to military duty,
and apparently thus preventing a re-
currence Of the unfortunate episode of
Memorial day, is gratifying. More
gratifying is the bands willingness to
accept the new conditions, although
| obviously imposed for the express pur-
pose of preventing future interference
| by labor union regulations with the
| Courses of the states picturesque
| fusal to participate in the Memorial
day parade was almost distressing It
| was not so much that its music was
| missed as It was that its absence
seemed to reveal determination ON the
| part Of labor's directing minds to exalt
| and adhere to their financial purposes
even though It involved disrespect and
| disregard for the men who in this
union supporting republics hour of
travail offered 50 freely all they were
and all they hoped to be.-Hartford
Times.
The Automobile Club of Bridgeport
has scored a notable improvement with
its silent traffic cops" as the lantern
be-decked traffic standards are called.
Placed at busy corners, their legend
keep to the right teaches motorists
how to make the turn properly, and
discourage the cutting of corners.
Trains and trolley cars run on tracks,
i which afford the advantage that other
trains and trolley cars, as well as
crossers of tracks, always know where
I Though not always when) to expect
i them. Automobiles can travel almost
anywhere save up tree trunks. Many
drivers go on this theory and 1t is
consequently an \ embarrassing and
dangerous proposition for other drivers
and the pedestrian public to dodge
them. The best remedy for traffic
abuses at busy corners is Of course
the traffic policemen. But some cor
ners are not quite busy enough &c
warrant having an officer on duty, but
are busy enough to require some sort
OF traffic regulation. And then the
supply Of policemen for traffic plr-
II poses 1s by no means unlimited
