THE PENNSYLVANIA

The launching of the Pennsylvania makes it evident that Uncle Sam is adding another magnificent ship to his navy in the carrying out of the pro- gram considered necessary for main- taining our proper defense. Like so many others it is an instance where for the time being this great fighting machine as soon as it is equipped for service will be the leader of all such craft af1oat. Just how long this will continue to retain such honor de- pends upon the progress in naval architecture, but 1t is possible that before it has an opportunity to be put into commission another may slide down the ways which will in some manner excel this formidable fight Ing ship.
 The entire country must take pride In the possession of such a vessel and it's addition to the navy gives it no greater strength than 1t needs. Much has been learned from the naval en- agreements which have taken place across the water relative to the mer- Hs of the different types of warships.

DANGEROUS PATIENTS.

It will be surprising that any such double shooting as occurred at the Undercliff sanatorium at Meriden, a state institution, was possible. That there might be little reason to sus- pect any such insane attack upon a nurse is understandable, but it can hardly be said that such is the case relative to the possession of such a deadly weapon as a revolver by pa- tient. A hospital can hardly be re- garded as 8 place requiring any such protection upon the part of the pa tients, while for those who may be Respondent or whose mind might be- come affected no weapon ought to be obtainable.
 The shooting will probably result in stricter attention being paid to such a situation in the future, but it calls attention to a matter which has been advanced by the state tuberculosis commission concerning the care of those who are not disposed to abide by the regulations deemed necessary by the authorities. That they are call ed upon to care for all kinds of pa- hents sent them, regardless of their tendencies, makes it apparent that the problem of handling them is no sine cure, and the Meriden affair only em- phasizes the request of the state com mission that proper provision be made through legislative action for over coming the handicapped position of the commission.
 It is perfectly logical that those who are a menace through unwillingness to conform to sanitary requirements, or those who are disposed to shoot up an institution should be placed where there can be proper restraint.

WASTING HIS TIME.

Every now and then there develops a strong resistance to the enforce ment of vaccination, and such a case has been occupying the attention of the authorities and the court in New Haven. Following 9 second arrest for failure to send his child to school be- cause of his antipathy to vaccination, a New Haven resident has been fined six dollars and costs, because as the court declared he had violated the school attendance requirements and it was not within it's province to decide for or against vaccination.
 :. Whatever may be the merits of the contention by the authorities or by the accused it is a strange attitude which he takes in insisting on going to jail to work out his fine and costs rather than take an appeal, in view of the fact that a repetition of the arrest can be expected. What Is needed in such a case Is a determination of the rights of the individual concerning compulsory vaccination and that is not going to be obtained by going to jail, but by carrying it to a court which can decide
 This is not the first case which has arisen over compulsory vaccination and the defendant is not the only one who is interested in having the ques- tion settled once and for all. He may be willing to make such a sacrifice as the time called for in jail represents, but that does not advance the matter to a final adjustment and for a. con- tention which bobs up so frequently the greatest satisfaction is bound to result from carrying it to conclu- sion and not keep travelling over the same ground.

BUDGET SYSTEM NEEDED.

There is nothing surprising in the statement of Congressman Fitzgerald, chairman of the house committee on appropriations to the effect that the government is suffering from bad bus mess methods. This very situation has been pointed out time and again. and when he urges that steps be taken for the fighting of the wrong and the establishment of a budget system, he is simply backing up the demands which were so insistently made while in office by President Taft. If that was the sole reason for the demo- cratic administration being in the hole it is, it would be simply the reaping of such results as had been pointed out to it, but that is only one of the causes for the pending deficit
 demonstration, however, of the i'll effects of the present method of mak- ing appropriations has been furnish ed this administration. It is a per- sona1 experience which if it carries weight should result in a much need ed reform and one which was delayed through democratic action. The dem ocrats did all they could to block the efforts of MT. Taft in paving the way for a budget system in handling na- tional finances, and now it is suffering from the narroWness of it's partisan action.
 The conversion of MT. Fitzgerald after going through the hard school of experience should be productive of desired results at the next session of congress. He is in a position at least to lend strong support to the idea through insisting upon profiting from the folly of the past,

CHANCE FOR PRIVATE ENTER
 PRISE

It is hard to believe that there is anything serious ill the report that another effort will be made to put through an appropriation by the state legislature in behalf of the Taylor history and souvenir. The general as- sembly has taken too good stand thus far against the waste of state funds to believe that it would reverse its action or permit such an appno- priation to slide through with some thing else.
 This does not, of course, mean that it will be impossible to publish such a book, since volume of the charac- ter which Souvenir Taylor has pro- duced in the past has it's good points and there is nothing surprising about the fact that many members of the legislature would like to possess such a book as might be compiled at this session, but whatever is done should receive other hacking than the funds in the state treasury.
 Whatever appropriations have been voted for such a purpose in the past have been entirely unjustifed. It was a wrong use of state money and it is impossible to justify a continuance of the practice by pointing to the errors of other legislatures. If there is to be a legislative history let 1t be the re- suit of an outside business undertak- ing. There Is nothing to prevent the members and a great many others from subscribing for such a volume, but there are the best of reasons why the expense should not be met by the state and from the attitude expressed through the unfavorable report and upon other matters involving state ex- penditures there is ground for the be- lief that further efforts will receive like treatment.

THEIR UNIQUE LOSS

and it took Mrs. Dunbar a good while to get breakfast, but they sat down at 6: 30 and MT. Dunbar was on the car before '. He said it did seem nice to get seat, even if it was a cold morn ing. Mrs. Dunbar said he was so sleepy that she went to bed again, trusting to wake before 1t was time for the grocery order man and the other morning callers.
 About an hour later she opened her eyes with the idea that there was a burglar in the house. But in a few moments realized that it was MT. Dun bar who was standing in the doorway. She said he had the funniest look on his face she had ever seen, and she was afraid he was i'll. She knew that something dreadful had happened, but couldn't imagine what it was"

 When MT. Dunbar opened the office door he found no mail had come and there wasn't any one down, not even the office boy.

Rather has new evidence been gained as to its importance and particularly so as re- gards the battle cruisers. These fast and powerful ships arc due for more attention in the future and while this country is only filling requirements with its battleships it cannot afford much longer to overlook the place which the battle cruisers hold in a well balanced navy.
