Dazzling Headlights.
(Waterbury American.) }

In the early days of the automo- bile the headlight was not a particu- larly troublesome obstacle to safe driving. One met an automobile in the dark only occasionally and if necessary could turn out and wait while it went by. As autOm obiles havc increased the brilliancy of the light Tad been intensified and now at night on most roads, many of them with dazzling lights and few of which can be dimmed as they go by Ac- cldents on this account are happen ing with greater frequency.
 Lawrence G. Brooks, secretary of the Massachusetts Highway Safety League, says that several state asso- citations connected with the automo- bile trade and the regulation of au- tOmobile traffic, have been consider ing this matter in a conference and have recommended the Highway Commission to pass a regulation to re- quirc all searchlights and headlights to project their rays not over four feet from the ground; also to illumi- nate the road from to 10 feet to the side of the machine at point 10 feet in front of it. He says the commit tee, after many eXperim ents, decided that this would keep the light out of the eyes of pedestrians, horses and operators approaching and that the result could be obtained with very little expense and inconvenience
 If what he claims is true some thing like this ought to be compul- sorry whatever the expense and incon- venience.

Houscclcaning at Washington.
Providence JOurnal.)

It is not surprising to hear that the Lansing regime at the department of state is to be marked by a consi6or- able weeding out of Bryan appointees. MT. Bryan found altogether too many berths for "deserving democrats' Tn the state department, as elsewhere, and the sooner the places of such of them ,s are conspicuously unfitted for their posts are filled by experienced and competent workers, the better.
 There never was a time in the his- tory of the country when it was more vitally necessary to have trained and skilful men on guard in the depart ment of state. AS the Bryan occu- pancy comes to be estimated by the future historian it will seem an ex- traordinary episode and one that no administration can afford to have re- peate..
 Deserving diplomats are what are needed just now-diplomats who de- serve recognition by reason of their technical, not their political, qualifi- cations. -@

Gives Up Job.
(Bridgeport Standard.) )


 George Ade, the author of Fables ir Slang and other works of a hum orous character, declares that he has abandoned the field of slang to Billy" Sunday, the noted revivalist, because he cannot compete with him in that sort of thing. It is not to be wonder ed at, for Sunday seems to have q license in the business that no other exhorter possesses and which no lay man would think Of using. Sundays translation of the story Of David and Goliath into modern slang is inimat- able and, of course, the subject gives it special point. The trouble of the business is that no one who has read Sundays paraphase of the story could ever read the original again with the old time feeling for the Bible narra- ton. And it was not the intention of Sunday to burlesque it; but that is, nevertheless, the effect.

Praises New Britain.
Stamford Advocate.) )


 New Britain, by what looks very like superior judgement and enterprise, las got away from Hartford a very desirable industry, the Autom obile Parts Company, employing 23O peu- pie, mostly in skilled labor, and A yearly wage distribution of $1S2,OOO with strong proba bility of a large increase in that amount, based on the fact that the concerns output in creased 300 per cent. within the last seven months. The immediate cause of the move to New Britain is stated by a Hartford paper to be that the Chamber of Commerce of Hartford insisted that the company take S5,00O stock in the building company that was to erect a plant for it, while the company was unwilling to do more than furnish the site. It looks as if the Hartford folks were slack in this instance. However, New Britain is not bad place to make hardware in.

COBB COUNTY FINDS
 DEFENDER ON BENCH
Judge Pays Respects to Critics of
 Frank LynChing District

Marietta, Ga, Sept. 2.--The Cobb
 county grand jury drawn for the
 July court term was charged yester-
 day by Judge H. J. Patterson to in- vestigate the recent lynching in this county" and at the close of the day several witnesses had been examined
 for information on the hanging of Leo NJ. Frank. Indications were that the jurors would conclude the exam ination of the thirty-five or moro wit nesses called in time to report to- day. The judge took occasion to de- fend Cobb county against attacks upon it growing out of the lynching. He charged the jury in part:
 T wart to say that you arc not q special grand jury drawn by the judge Of the Blue Ridge court, but you arc the regularly organized grand jury of Cobb county. Not only in this, but in a great deal that has been said re- gently in tho press, the facts have been dcviatcd from, and I want to strongly as sort that the press general ly nag Gone Cobb county a great in- jury. 1t appears that in Q great deal of the matter that has been pub- lished soinc news correspondents have seemingly gotten just as far away from the truth as they could, and tho result has Eecn that Cobb county has been made to suffer for 1t.
 This county needs no specially so- lected grand jury now, nor has it ever needed one. Men selected as grand jurors of this county have always done their duty. You gentlemen have done yours.
 ''I have heen informed that a mur- der was committed here in the county the day after July term of court was adjourned. It has been published broadcast over the world that lynch ing has recently occurred in Cobb county. 1t is your duty to make a thorough and complete investigation of that "s it is of all charges of crime wnen brought to your attention, YouL. oaths bind you to honestly, fairly and .mpartially make an investiga- tion of it, but it is not your duty to assume the role of secret service men; the role of detectives. You were not selected in the capacity of private de- tectivcs, eut as grand jurors of your county, and your work is that of grand jurors and not the work of secret ser- vice men. And yet, it is your duty to do what you can to ferret out any crime alleged to have been comHait- ted within your county. to do it fair 1y, fearlessly and without hope of re- ward or the reverse"

Just Killing.
(NeW Haven Register. ]

(NeW Haven ReR1SLeT.)
 There was a time when men sup posed that the chief object of war was to gain victory-whatever that may chance to mean-the destruction of fife and property being. no more than a necessary incident Must we con- Clude that in this proposition we have been wrong Is the taking of life the desideratum, to be accomplished in the most complete and extensive manner possible?
 Almost every nation engaged in the war has fleet or airships, but only one of those nations is using its air ships for the purpose of raiding and terrorizing by night communities of Eon-co mbatants, dwelling in unforti- fled and unmilitary cities. The total result of what England has suffered in this respect up to the present time are the killing of Fl adults and IS children, with a damage to property which is considerable but unreckoned.
 This outcome of IS night raids of the mightcst of airships, armed with ElSn power bombs, is not, compared With what might has been expected, terrible, but it is the needless waste of 89 lives. It Is not war, according to civilized standards. It is just kill ling.

A TASK WE'LL DONE.

! Chief Justice w nlte or the Onlted
 States Supreme Court has labeled the :! outcome of the crisis with Germany 1 as the greatest diplomatic achieve
 ment of the United States in genera tion." That is about the final word on the subject, and to President Will son must go the greater part, if not all of the glory. It is a signal vic- tory, won after many months of patient toll, without heat, without stirring unnecessary rancor in the breasts of those supremely interested. It is not for Americans to gloat over the outcome, not to speak in bragga- docio spirit of the achievement. The thing is done and the glory and honor of the United States have been up- held. No more could be desired. Ger many, it is expected, will make due reparation, as far as possible. for the lives and property of Americans lost on the merchantmen wantorly sent to the bottom by her submarines II
 mai affair, as far as our 1nternatloh- al relations are concerned. But there is another phase of the situation Wnlch Americans themselves must consider and that Is in relation to the presl- dential campaign of 1916. The name of Woodrow Wilson will be para mount when the various parties are casting about for a pilot for the ship of state.
 Already the friends of the President have set about to groom him for the race. Advices from the national cap- ital are to the effect that leaders of the Democrat party there are con- fuent of the renomination of Wood- row Wilson. There is really nothing startling in that, for where is the man living who has done bigger, bet ter or greater things than this same Woodrow Wilson? The entire nation owes him debt of gratitude on this day. And the Democrats in the Tenth Congressional District of Wisconsin have paved the way in endorsing his actions. At a mass meeting called for the purpose of arranging for the 1916 campaign they unanimously ap- proved of Woodrow Wilson. The same thing happened in Kentucky. In state convention assembled the Kentuckians lost no time in fixing on the name of Wilson. But with all this, the President has expressed him. self neither one way or the other He is reticent on the subject, and there are many who believe he will not make any personal effort to get the nomination, or to run for office. That is the true spirit of Woodrow Wilson. Never the self-seekcr rather the sought-after. And the people of the United States are going to seek him for their leader during the tur- bulent times ahead. They want Wood- row Wilson because he has demon strated what he can do. He has been through the fire.
 Democrats, Republicans, Progress slves, all, will contribute some what to Wilson's support If things go on in the next twelve months as they have in the past year there can be no doubt of the outcome of the 1916 campaign. There is not a man in the country at present strong enough to defeat Wilson. That is because he is the
 President of all the people, for all the people, and by all the people.

Connecticut Apples.
Bridgeport Telegram.)

J. H. Hale of Glastonbury was the man who blazed the way for modern peach-growing in Connecticut. Who will be the man to bring apples into their own as Connecticut orchard pr oduct?
 It is true that this state produces today, just as it produced peaches before the advent of MT. Hale: but if did not produce the best peaches in great quantities until Hale demon strated how it could be done; nor does it today do justice to it's possibilities in tho apple line.
 Western apple raisers, by aggressive tactics and modern orcharding methods, have made their product known from one end of the nation to the other. Apple day in Oregon is a patriotic festival second only to the Fourth of July. Trade-marked names of apples have been widely advertised and promoted, in order to foster the demands for these western apples, and enormous quantities are sold.
 And yet the Western apple is a fake. It is nothing but a fraud It has a smooth, beautiful, rosy ex- teriOr and a mcaly, pasty, dry-as- sawdust interior. The Oregon apple has not hing about it to remind one of that delicious, fragrant, acidulous flavor of a juicy, crisp Connecticut apple. Eastern apples could sweep the boards provided that they were raised with the same intelligent or cnarding methods, and pushed with inc same hustling publicity as their Skookum cousins from the West.
