who during the Civil war guarded and
protected this company's property.
The b. * o. evidently has forgotten
entirely the services rendered by the
Civil war veterans. as is evident in the
discrimination of rates TO pleasure
seekers to Atlantic City. as against
the rates to be charged the Union
veterans who wish TO attend the Ma
tional G. A. r. encampment in Wash
ngton' ID. e.. the latter part OF the
month.
This corporation has been CARRYING
passengers from Wheeling to Atlantic
City-a distance considerably greater
than TO Washington.-for $40 a round
trip; while the men who rendered
them such valiant service fifty years
ago. have been refused excursion
rates TO Washington. and are required
TO pay full fare each way. Why this
discrimination we are at a loss TO I'M
Iderstand.
Hundreds OF comrades of these old
veterans who wish TO 20 to Washing
ton lost their lives while guarding
this railroad from 81 to '65, and IL is
an historical fact that one regiment
was recruited mainly for the purpose
OF guarding the road. and hundreds Of
men were detailed from the main
army for the purpose OF building tenn
porary bridges and repairing the road
so that II might be possible for Il to
do business.
This corporation received full nav
from the government for every soldier
hauled and every pound OF freight
transported during the war: and IL the
company wanted to show its gratitude
TO the men who gave such valuable
service in time of need IL ought to be
glad to haul these old soldiers TO and
from Washington. gratis.
Now, we fail to see why, after this
lapse Of years. this great and rich cor
poration should favor those who are
fully able to pay double fare in travel
ing TO Atlantic City. and charge the
old soldiers who rendered them great
service. full fare.
But as a corporation has no soul to
damn and body to kick, the b. & o.
can with impunity and without any
lashings OF conscience or fear of fut-
ure retribution. tax the poor. old vet
eran full fare, and at the same time.
haul the wealthy pleasure seeker to a
popular summer resort. a distance
much farther, for a greatly reduced
fare.

What the Other Fellows Say.

It did not need the testimony of William Church Osborne, coming direct from the White House, to convince the country that the tariff will be the issue ill the next campaign. There was already abundant evidence to that effect, and it is always before the people-Hartford Courant.
 i'' Speak well of your home town. If you can't say something good, just act like a clam. Graphic. England seemed to be making more havoc last week among German sub marines than German submarines were making among the merchant ships of the allies. But it would be a mistake to suppose that the submarine has shot its bolt. It is probably a case of re- plenishing the supply of torpedoes for the undersea campaign. - Ansonia Sentinel. .~
 A lot of grist is now passing through the legislative mill, and much trash is being winnowed from the wheat. No doubt good grain is occasionally blown ont along with the light stuff and weed seeds, but the product stamped ''un. favorable" by the various committee is pretty much to their credit thus far The real tests as to their fitness as millers will come later. It is pleasing to note that at present the indications are in the main favorable. Bristol Press.
 It seems to be the confidence of some body that the New Haven railroad is coming back into its own.-New Haven Journal Courier.
 The present General Assembly evi- dently is not disposed to liberalize the free lunch law passed at the session of 1913. Even a plaintive request from New Haven that it be made legal to hand out pretzels with drinks has been turned down without the slightest com- punctions.-Bridgeport Standard
 If we were Europeans and still re- tained any sense of proportion we should have to regard as indefensibly silly condition of affairs which made it necessary for us to ecomomize on meat and bread in order that we might indulge ourselves more extensively in gunpowder -Hartford Times.
 Billy Sunday has agreed to hold three months of revival services in Boston next year. He must feel shaky about his grammar, bat by all accounts he is sadly needed there.-Seymour Record.

Letters From the People
A Word of Caution
le Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 There is every reason to expect an unusually early and severe forest fire season in Connecticut this spring. The lack of snow or rain and the hot sun of the past few weeks have madc the woods and fields vcritable fire traps which need only the careless dropping of u lighted match, cigar or cigarette butt to start conhagration. Already forty three fires have been reported to the State fire warden aS occurring dur ing the past three weeks. Probably many more have not been reported. It will be a month at least before vegeta- tiOn will he advanced sufficiently to check the spread of fires The local fire wardens are vigilant and anxious to prevent all damage possible, but the public must cooperate with them if large expense aS we'll as property loss is to be prevented.
 During the severe. drought of last fall nearly five hundred fires occurred in this state, causing thousands. of dol lars damage. Most of these fires were due to carelcSSnr>S on the part of people who were. in the woods and fields dur ing the hunting and nutting seasons With the advance of spring, thousands of men and boys each pleasant Sunday and holiday, will respond to the call of the wild. Every one of them ought to realize his responsibility to the com munity to see that no fire results from his carelessncss, or that no fire which he discovCrVs in the woods is left un- extinquished. Every town has a fire warden who should be notified of any fire which is beyond the control of the party discovering it. The telephone central can usually give the fire war. den's number.
 A word of caution is also necessary to any one having occasion to burn brush during the next month. The law requiring the securing of permits is in effect March 9th and should be observed in every case. No brush should be burned on windy days and without due precaution to keep the fire from spreading. There is a heavy penalty for kindling are which escapes and injurrs the property of another. LiiS i'sN VII ta AAAiA 'At'o tA'A oAANl the responsibility for consequences for fire damage.
 Any one interested in tLese matters can secure information rcgarding the laws from the local are wardens or by writing the undersigned. There is Il great lack of intelligent public interest in the subject, however, largely due to lack of appreciation of the damage and eXpenes caused by forest nres in Connecticut. The general impression seems to be that fire in the woods is a natural occurrence which does no harm. On the contrary, no single factor is so largely responsible for the deterioration in the quality of our largest growth us the fires which become more and more numerous with the increase in density of our population.
 Trusting l may have your co.opera- tion, am, Very truly yours,
 w. o. Filley,
 State Forest Fire Warden.
 New Haven, March 12.
