A Boat To Investigate. (New Haven Register )


 No wonder what was mistaken for cry of fire" caused a panic on the Grand Republic. It is only eleven years since the old General Slocum, just like the Grand Republic, was burned at the cost of 900 lives in the East river. It is only a week since the Eastland capsized, taking more than thousand people down The panic can't wholly be charged to un- reasonable nervousness
 So they're running the old Grand Republic yet as passenger steamer a Sunday excursion boat. She was built in 1878. She draws a shade over 1s feet of water. She is Il feet beam for 2S2 feet of length. She has four decks, with the most room on the upper ones. She has been reported condemned and abandoned for passen- ger service more than once To be sure, they were not carrying 5000 peo- pie on her yesterday but evidently they are permitted to carry 1000 on her. It seems that new investiga- tion of this boat might be desirable in view of what happened yesterday, though her owners may assert that she stood the test of panic very well.

A Narrowing Discovery.

William Thaw, athletic millionaire Of Pittsburg, is fighting for France in the French aviation corps, where his flying has won him frequent official praise.
 In recent letter to Pittsburr banker, quoted in an exchange, MT. Thaw said: One of the horrible features of this war is the number of amputations it Is entailing. Young men without legs, without arms, without hands are to be seen everywhere.
 Those young men are sensitive about their affiiction They won't stand questions from strangers A stranger in a train said to a young chasseur the other day.
 I seeNyou have lost a leg, sir
 "The chasseur gave a start, took hold of his empty trcuscr, felt it up and down hurriedly. and exclaimed:
 My goodness, do believe you're right. ?

The Need For Preparaeiom1
lBrfdgeport INarmer.)e

It seems necessary that the United states shall look to it's military pre- pa ration. By the logic or events, and by the laws of trade as. we'll as by the operation of modern inventions such as cable telegraph, wireless, swift ships, submarines and so on--this country no longer occupies. a position of insolation with respect to Europe.
 In one way, Or another, the ssues of. the war threaten, sooner or later, to involve the United States. It will be many years before the old certainty as to peace with all the world can be ours
 Tn shipping ammunition to the allies we do a lawful thing. Even Germany and Austria admit it. But the hos tility that flows from the trade will finger long. If We cease 10 ship amt munition, ennity in an equal degree will be incurred from the Britannic allies.
 Therefore America, having followed the read thus far, must prepare to keep the path she has chosen. This will require many forts. guns, ships, ard armies.
 Since preparation must be made, it were better that 1t be soonsmade.

Uplifting Music.
Bridgeport Telegraph.)

charles Edison, son of Thomas A.
 huison, the inventor. has opened a iiltle theatre in New York for the purpose of "uplifting music" The .neater seats only 250 and admission is lree. It's promoters purpose Is to siNe nearing on American composers
 Wio cannot get their works produced otherwise. Already some wierd, music Y lnodernistic tendencies has been produced, and probably also, some music that is good.
 ms experiment of the younger n'ulson Is interesting, not for its own sake, but for the contrast afforded pe1Ween the efforts of a practical man and those of dilettante. When Edlson the elder wanted to uplift music he did so by inventing talk 1rg machine and thereby paved the way for bringing the very best vocal and orchestral music into some mill lions of homes throughout the whole world. There has been a revolution in musical taste entirely coincident With the spread of the talking machine and its fellow, agent of civilization, the player-piano Edison gave music. real boost when he made it possible Tor the man of moderate means to cultivate musical taste right in his own home by listening to the worlds best singers and instrumentalists, playing the finest of compositions. Not that Edison did all of this himself-the talking machine business has been enormously developed by host of concerns, including one ur the largest right in our own city-but Edison laid, the cornerstone for it all The basic Idea came from his brain.
 Probably Edison the elder would curl up and die if he had to listen to some of the music produced in his sons futuristic theatre. HeA is not cultured enough for that. His taste runs to Old Black Joe ana the Arkan- saw Traveller. But just the same, it Is Edison ST., not IT,, who will be remembered gratefully as an uplifter of music--for the man who can de- mocratize an art upiifts 1t tremend- ously.

Sound American Diplomacy.

American diplomacy has not alwa, $ been respected in the chancelleries of Europe. Crudity at times has marked When great issues did not impend political appointments to positions in the American state department too frequently have brought reproach upon the efficiency of that department
 In times of crisis, however, Amer jeans have usually acquitted them selves with credit in the various nelds of government, that of diplo- macy included. In the present emer- gency American diplomacy is seen al It's best. Citizens of this nation nave a right to feel satisfied with the manner in which the president and his diplomatic advisers are per- forming their work. President Wilson, long 8 student of history, is making history of a w:solly creditable kind. The present head of the state depart ment is trained diplomat who brings to the office the knowledge and experience that are essential 10 efficiency and wise action.
 The various notes to Germany that have emanateds from Washington since the sinking of the Lusitania nave been clear. firm. statesmanlike ana well supported by reasoning that must appeal not only to the judg- menu of the world today but to his torans Of the future They have been at the same times courteous in tone With the absence of anything savor- ing of buster.

Compulsory Education.
(Norwich Record. }

race to avoid being the last state in the union to adopt compulsory ed- ucaton laws is apparently under way in the southern states, according to reports received at the United States Bureau of Education. There are now only three states without such laws, Florida having recently joined, Texas and South Carolina in adopting com- pulsory education by legislative en- actment. The three states still with out law are Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama. Although the Florida law is of the optional type 1t is a clear recognition of the compulsory prin- ciple and is regarded as a real step in advance.
 Offiicals of the Bureau of educa- ton point out that this years com .pulsory educational legislation is part of big educational advance all along the line. Nearly all the state legislatures were in session during 1915. and much of the educational discussion that has been going on for several years crystallized into law. The Alabama legislature has recon

Around Warsaw.
Providence Journal.)

Petrograd is profoundly interested, of course, in the retreat from Warsaw S' far 1t can be judged rom the news from the Russian capital. as we'll as that directly from the rront, the Ger mans, although they have broken through the Russian lines in a number of places, are being strongly resisted for the most part. and Grand Duke Nicholas seems likely to be able to re- tire the most of his great force in- tact.
 Warsaw has been stripped of every thing useful in a military sense. and while the loss of the city to the Gen. tral Empires will be grave, from a strategic as we'll as a sentimental point of view, Russia's offensive power will survive unless theibulk of her soldiers are captured. Places are Of less in- portance in war than great military rnits,

"Master Farmer"
Atlantic Constitutions )

The degree of master farmer is now one of the coveted honors of the Utah State College of Agriculture. It was conferred recently on live citizens of that State. The Abilene tTexas) Reporter says the institution figures that men who live or farms and are successful in special lines of endeavor should be publicly honored. Here IS the point made by our Texas contem- porary:
 Doctors, lawyers, scnooi men, min- lsters, cts, have conferred upon them honorary degrees, and the farmer so lar has not received that recognition that his service to the country de- serves. Whatever and whenever constructive man is found tilling the soil in a way to make two blades grow where only one gred before he should ne sought out and honored. His work should be called to the attention Of others and his methods published to the world. We say let the schools of Texas honor our worthy men of the soil by conferring upon them the de- gree of master farmer a degree which, if deserved, will rank with D. D., LL.D., or, any of the rest of them and oftentimes he who receives and wears ei'os ucSISe oI IldStSI AdiiuVI VIII ie- ceive not only the high regard of his reighbors and friends, but he will re- esive the lasting gratitude of progress slve men everywhere"
 It is the day when the progressive farmer looms large Tn the worlds work-among men who. are doing things; new honors are constantly coming his way, for it is time of greater farm efficiency, and the effi- cicncy of the tillers of the soil makes for the real upbuilding of the country's industries

amended to include so called justice cases, dealing with matters up to one
 hundred dollars, the local court was
 practically defunct and few eases were returned to 1t. Nearly every !
 thing that could not be handled by Justices of the peace was sent to Hartford to the court of common pleas. Because of that arrangement much of New Britain's legal business
 was handled in the capital city, all inconvenience for all concerned. Ur- der the. amended charter all this Will be changed. Lawyers anticipated blg- ger business for this new court when 1t was announced that justice of the peace cases would be added to the docket. Their predictions have been realized, as the court will now handle al the larger cases which formerly went to Hartford.
 New Britain is big and broad enough to attend to it's own affairs, not only in the legal line, but in all other walks of activity Business men and professional men should realize that they do not have to 50 outside of New Britain to get many things As matter of fact the out side business world looks more to New Britain than New Britain does to the outside world There is no use getting testS about it, but as yet we have failed to realize our importance. New Britain has now taken its place In mans estate. It is full grown. full fledged city and should be run as such. That is why it is,.- good thing the proper Jurisdiction has been vested in the new city court
