1t is understood that the new state
automobile law, effective June LIST,
either through an oversight or by de-
sign has omitted that section of the
old law which required the carrying of
individual operators markers above
the license numbers of dealers and
manufacturers. The manufacturers,
dealers and operators will thus be
freed from the nuisance-and admit
tedly it is nuisance-of affixing the
operators private license number to
each car before 1t is taken on the
road. On the other hand, a measure
of public safety is destroyed, and fur
thermore, in case of an accident caused
by any car bearing the markers of a
dealer or manufacturer, suspicion, is
Der in common, until the fault is CEN
tered on the proper individual-if it
ever can be.-Bridgeport Telegram.
The chief requirement for issuance
of a license to operate a motor vehi-
Gle on the highways of this state
seems to be the assurance that the
applicant has driven one hundred
miles, and that he has two hands and
two feet, fair eyesight and good hear
ing. That sort of a test may have
served in the past, though there is
ample reason to doubt that it was in
all instances sufficient. But the
number of motor vehicles of all sorts
in the state of Conencticut is rapidly
increasing, and the points of conges-
ton as well. The jitney situation has
brought the difficulty to a point. It
makes apparent to even the blindest
the need for some efficient sort of a
ests preceding the issuance Of per-
mission to run machine. Our cities
are filling up with drivers who are in
efficient, careless, reckless. The
driver of a vehicle for public convey
ance ought to be more efficient than
any other driver. Instead, many of
them are of the most undesirable sort,
unframed, reckless and irresponsible.

There will be a decided relief to the
legislatures in the operation of this
(home rule for cities) law. Fewer
bills for special laws affecting towns
and cities will be presented and less
time taken up in hearings, debates
and enactments. The recent session
was a short one and set an example in
that respect that future legislatures
should strive to live up to- and it will
be easier to do that desirable thing if
the bills concerning charter amend
ments, and other local matters here
tofore carried to the capital. are no
longer to cucumber the record, impede
action on matters of state Importance
and delay the proper work of sessions.

Mr.. Stremlau has not said that the
men elected have failed to carry out
their promises. He has merely said
that they we're reactionary. The
laboring man by ballot chose the rep
resentatives and sent them to office,
They did their work and it looks out
of place for the labor leader who was
defeated to criticize that work. Has
he expressed the attitude of labor in
general or has he expressed his own
personal opinion? If it is his own
there will probably be no effects on
the election two years hence to throw
the election another way. 1t he
really has given the attitude Of the
majority of the workingmen of the

A Christmas Hymn.

No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming far;
A lamp With a sable
And in ne SKI d Star
Their hymns of peace and gladneas
To earth the angels brought,
Their Gloria III ExcelSlS.
To earth the angels taught
When in the lowly manger
The Holy Mother Maid
IL tender alteration
Her Babe OF heaven laid
Born lOwly in tho darkness,
And none as poor as he.
The little children Of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then.
But just the budding sheep,
The angels singing of the Christ
And oil the world asleep.
No flame of conquering banners,
No legions sent afar;
A lamp within stable
And in the sky a Star!

Hogs Killed by Snake.

The Georgetown News says that
j. M. Palmer shipped car load of
fat hogs from there to the Cincin-
natl market last Thursday and when
the car was unloaded at the latter
place it was found that eight head
of hogs were dead. Upon exami-
nation of the Car a large copper
head snake was found lying dead
on the floor. When MIR, Palmer
loaded the Car it contained lot of
ola bedding and MIR. Palmer put in
fresh bedding without removing
what was already in the car, and
the snake was evidently coiled up
in the old bedding when the Car
was loaded The hogs must have
stirred the reptile from its hiding
place and then it was battle royal
for possession. resulting in the snake
killing eight of the porkers before
conquered by the disturbers of its
secluded abode.-Boone Co., Ky

COL. GOODYEAR
MAKES ADDRESS
At BIG MEETING
HIS SPEECH WAS ONE OF THE
FEATURES OF DEEPER WATER
WAYS CONVENTION IN SAVAN-
NAH YESTERDAY.

Col. C. P. Goodyear, the well-known
Brunswickian, was one of the princi-
pal speakers at the meeting of the
Deeper Waterways Association in Sa-
vannah yesterday, and his address
was considered by all as one of the
mos interesting delivered during the
entire meeting.
Col. Goodyear, who has always been
interested in any question of marine
Importance, attended the first meet
ing ever held by this association as
a representative of Brunswick, and
he has since then been a delegate
to number of these meetings. He
is therefore familiar with all of the
workings of the great organization,
and his valuable knowledge of the
plan which this association hopes to
eventually accomplish proved of great
benefit to the association.
The Savannah Press of yesterday
carried the speech of the well-known
BrunsWickian i'll full together with
a pic3Ire of him, and his speech
makes unusually good reading He
went into the subject of inland and
deeper waterways fully, showing that
he is familiar with the subject Col
Goodyear was the only Brunswickian
to deliver an address at the big con-
yention, in fact he was selected from
a large number of delegates as one
of the principal speakers, which was
indeed a neat compliment to him.

overhauled her after a long stern

which began among the immigrants
on board as soon as the underwater
craft was sighted, was responsible for
the loss of many lives. In a mad rush
for safety men, women and children
overwhelmed the boats, several of
which were overturned before they
could be lowered. Many of the o.
cupants fell into the sea and were
drowned
