OTHER VIEW POINTS

We revere and admire the solemn processes of law, particularly when they make it necessary for the col onel to describe his military services to the republic in order to identify himself as the Theodore Roosevelt mentioned in the complaint.-Eartford Times.
 It is surprising that so many Amer jeans should be in Mexico after four years of revolution, and the re- peated efforts that have been made to get them to come home. We hvae broken off diplomatic relations with the Mexican capital, and our citizens are subjects to suspicion and more i'll will than are other foreigners. Yet, some persist in staying and taking chances. Their course seems foolhardy, but they are not necessarily deserving of the severe criticism visited on them in certain quarters.-Torringto Reg ister.
 No ultimate good could come to the world from a premature termination
 of the war in Europe, if such a thing were possible. The destruction of | life and property and treasure must work its appointed work, terrible as | it is. Then will come peace that will,
 We hope, mean something more than
 a name. When the time for that 1 PCdC0 dppIOdCH0S, ln0 W0dI10O,
 wrecked nations will gladly turn to the United States for judgment and | justice. Until that time, until they l of their own volition ask our good | offices, it is our part to be like the | ocean that protects us, "cool and si- l lent. t."-NeW Haven Register.
 There are some, who, from care | lessness or deliberate intention have failed to abate the nuisances that ex-
 ist in their fostering yards and eel
 lars. The board of health intends to see that such persons are located and
 an example made of them through
 prosecution unless they promptly see | the error of their course. That is ex-
 actly as it should be. Persistent pres
 sure brought to bear upon offenders of this class and prompt punishment
 for refusal to obey the orders Of the
 board will go far toward solving a
 problem that could only grow more offensive and dangerous with con-
 tinued neglect.-Ansonia Sentinel. | The man who has a little garden on which he raises vegetables for his
 own table is a great asset, but he is | too few in number to be of much &C.,
 count in keeping down domestic ex-
 penses. The average man nowadays wants to sit on the veranda after
 work, read the baseball news or re- l cline in the old armchair rather than
 to take the family spade and root out | in the yard. When he does con-
 descend to become useful he very often
 does it unwillingly, complaining that
 as soon as a man who has been raised | in the city begins to take an interest | in gardening it is a good sign that old
 age has begun to creep upon him and | he wants to potter around where the
 pottering is good.-New Haven Her aid.
 The haste for city planning in the
 centers seems to be based upon a mSs- apprehension of the relation of traffic to industry. Very wide streets and
 many of them would no doubt facili-
 tate the passage of vehicles, but they
 would increase the difficulty of shop ping, of doing business, by making the shops further apart. There is a place for city planning, even in the business | district. But he who scatters the bus 1 mess district has done about the same
 sort of service as if he took a depart
 ment store, and located its multitude of departments at widely scattered i points, on wide streets, over large
 area. This might save effort to ve-
 hicles, but it would impose effort or
 everybody else. and go long way toward tearing the labor saving feat.
