NEEDLESS ALARM.

There is undue apprehension in
some quarters regarding what Euro
pean competition will do to us after
the war. The probabilities are that
Europe will come out of the war short
of labor ard capital and obliged to re-
cuperate slowly. In the meanwhile,
says the Philadelphia Record. we shall
have established new lines of trade,
which we shall have a fair chance to
keep, and we shall have built and
paid for, out of war profits, a large
number of huge manufacturing plants
available for the production of chem
icals, including d. estuffs, metal COM
rncdities and textiles. The produce
tions of these plants can be sold at
low prices, because the owners VIII
have already been reimbursed for
their investment out of their war or
ders. The largest aniline manufactur-
er in the country says that benzol is
selling here at half or a third of the
price current before the war. because
the production has been so greatly in
creased. This will have decisive in
fluence upon our ability to meet for
eign competition in dyes 1t may be
necessary to adopt some specific pro-
vision to meet dumping, but it is un-
likely: the existing law seems to be
sufficient, and there is no occasion
now for worrying about what will
happen after the war. That is some
distance in the future, ard congress
will have plenty of time to deal with
that condition when the probability of

Anton Lang, who has long played
the part of Jesus in the Oberamme err
gau Passion Play, has been killed in
battle while fighting in the German
army. Asked how he could claim to
follow in the footsteps of the Master
whom he impersonated and still par
ticipate in war, he replied that it was
the teaching of the Master that the
law of the land should be obeyed and
so he justified himself. Does anybody
believe that the law of God should
be made secondary to the law of man?

The Subject Eternal.
They harp upon it every day,
And have for decades past:
Of all the corner arguments,
It is the first and last
1t hangs around like Banquo's ghost,
And wont be scared away;
1t IS the thing they argue most
Throughout the entire fray
Nobody understands it well,
And most folks not at all,
But still it is the subject On
Which all the speakers bawl.
They've fought it out for many
months,
They've argued day and night;
But still it doesn't seem as though
They'll ever fix it right.
They're at it once again today,
They will forget it never;
For men may come and men may go,
But war talk goes on forever

IMPORTANT RULING.
Judge Gzger Decides That Second Ap- pearance in Superior Court Means Jaif or Prison.

Judge Edwin B. Gager of Derby, who is at the January. term of the superior court in Waterbury, has made an important ruling in his commit lnent of persons to the state reform atory, a5 Cheshire. He has ruled that notwi thstanding the age of any per son arraisEed before him, if that per son has been convicted of any crime prior TO his appearance in the su- perioF court it is incumbent upon the trial judge not to commit to the re- formatoTy. That is to say, boys be- tween the ages of 1G and 21 years of age, who have been arrested and ar raigned for previous offerses, whether in the opinion Of the court they are amenable to refor7natory methods or not, must be either sentenced to jail Or to state prison
 The issue was raised in the case of Walter Smith, 8 17-year-old Bea- con Falls boy, arraigned for stealing 8. watch from his fathers lousekeeper. The boy had previously bee narrested for stealing from his father. It was explained that the lads home sur roundings were not of the best, and that tle refornlatory might be just the place for him. Judge Gager doubted his power to commit to Cheshire, but continued the case for 8 few days.
 Later the court decided that the sentence must be either a jail or state prison term. He imposed jail term, but then allowed the boy to so on probation.
