tr1a does make the indicated protest 1t must do so with unclean hands for the submarine policy which it has followed In the Mediterranean has been without Justification and has done moro than anything else to bring about the arming of merchant ves- sels for defense purposes and it must be evident to that country that it lies within their own control as to whether such guns are ever turned upon the U boats. Austria if it is willing to look the matter straight in the face must realize that such protest would be in line with the demand which it recently made upon England that the Austrian women and children taking passage on the British ships through the Mediterranean be guaranteed safe conduct, when as a matter of fact the only danger which threatened them is the manner in which the Austrian submarines are operated. In both cases if Austria respects the rules of war and has any respect for humanity it has nothing to fear.

coNNEcTIcUT's FREIGHT CON-
 GESTlON.

Some sections of Connecticut, as is to be expected, are suffering worse than others from the freight tie up oc- casioned by the avalanche of business that has descended upon the railroads, but the effects are nevertheless gen. eral and instead of waiting until they get worse and it becomes necessary to shut up shop because of the inability to get fuel or raw material the time is now ripe for cooperative action which will bring relief to the existing situa- tion in some sections and that which is threatened in others.
 In this connection the suggestion that the New Haven road curtaiI a certain amount of it's passenger ser vice. as set forth in the resolutions adopted by the Waterbury chamber of commerce appears to be pertinent one and one which is recognized by the road as well as those dependent upon it as is shown by the statement of railroad official to the effect that plans to such an end are being made Rs rapidly as possible. ;. How long such a curtailment would be required Is difficult to estimate, but there is a Frying need of quickly relieving the congestion and such a plan when
 
 suits The inconvenience of such a change in schedule can be tolerated under the circumstances and the sug- gestion that greater advantage be taken of the water facilities for get ting freight to the railroad lines run ming north and south in Connecticut which are not congested ought not to go unheeded. Such opportunities have long deserved greater development.
 With it all however, there is great assistance which can be given to the railroads by the receivers and ship pers of freight in expediting the loading and unloading of cars and every pos sible attention should be given to this phase of the congestion. Proper CO., operation can accomplish great things and there is an excellent chance for putting it into daily operation now in Facilitating the movement of freight in the interest of business in general.

AUTO TRUCKS vs. HoRsgs.

When Second Assistant Postma ster General Praeger was called before the committee on postofflces and post roads of the lower house of congress for testimony concerning the efficiency of the motor truck in the transportation of the malls in comparison with the former horse drawn vehicles he show ed that even in the congested districts of Chicago the trucks were able to make over five and a half miles an hour. This evidence was called for because of a statement which had previously been made to the effect that they were no better than screen wag- Dns in Chicago's downtown district and that their speed averaged no more than a mile and a half an hour.
 As the result of the tests which have been made with the trucks in Chicago. Philadelphia, Washington, St. Louis and Detroit the assistant postmaster general maintained that not only were motor trucks time-saving vehicles. but they are also money savers and they are soon to be introduced in Indian npolis in place of horses, and other cities of that rank will also be equip- ped with them before long.
 There is nothing surprising in the Acknowledgement that the service rem dcred by the trucks presents greater aflaclency and economy than the old method of handling the mails in cities. It is only what has been proved in connection with fire service and it is but natural that the game thing should apply to the postal service.

Indigestion May Be
 Due 10 Constipation
Neglect of Imporfant Function May Seriously Impair
 The Health

There are many people who believe they suffer from indigestion when their discomfort really is due to a constipated condition.
 Bloat, with its attendant mental de- pression, sick-headache. the belching of sour stomach gases etc. are fre- quently due to inaction of the bowels. Relieve the congestion and the trou- ble usually disappears. The use cf cathartics and purgatives should be avoided, however; these shock the system unnecessarily and. at best. their effect is but temporary. A mild laxative Is far preferable.
 k The compound of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin and sold in drug stores fer fifty cents bottle, is highly recom-' mended. MT. Benj. Bassin, 360 Madi- son St, Gary, Ind. thinks Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin a wonderful med icine; for four years he had a severe case of indigestion and constipation before trying Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which he is glad to reconn- mend to all who suffer with stomach and bowel trouble.

GROWTH OF FAIRGROUNDS.

How quick the public is to under- stand the advantages of lneritorious movement is shown by the manner in which the effort in behalf of play grounds has succc eded. Throughouf the United States it has made its ap- peal and the response has been gen. eral because it eaters to long felt want. There has just keen issued t: e annual report of the Playground anl Recreation Association If America in which it s shown that xs2 American cities maintained neigh borhcod play grounds under The direction of play leaders during the year eno1ng with last October. During the last two years 116 cities have established play grounds, bringing the number of play grounds now in operation up to near ly $500.
 That this is the result of only ten years effort tells what an impress on has been created by the good warl. which they have done in the cites which first established them. The good results have been recognized and IT. looking about to meet local re- cufrements along such lines there has been instant recognition of the value of the idea. while civic pride, ane the necessity of doing something fo- the children in meeting the great neei of keeping them off the streets and away from harmful influences has done the rest. Everywhere city government is participating because of the recogni- tion that the mainta anance of neIgh- borhood playgrounds is 6 regular gov ernment obligation.
 The exDenditures are large in meet Ing the requirements os the children, but the steady growth of the move naent indicates as plaiaiy as anything essn that the money is beI7g well spent. Tn fact where can D1oney be better sp, mt than in looking sfter the iu- terests of Young America?

DESERVED QUICK DEATH.

Quick was the disposition that was made in Washington of the proposal of Senator Clarke that freedom he granted to the Filipinos in two years
 It was suggestion thoroughly in line with those advanced by certain inf7i- viduals who believe that the islands should be tossed overheard to look after themselves without any regard to the obligations which rest upon this country, but it was destined to short life. It was. proposition tha. tha admin1stration, which has been urging the Jones bill could neve~ en- dorse because it is thoroughly under stood that the people of those isla nds While they are making excellent pro- eress under the guidance of this na- t1on are not in a position to take care or themselves, will not be in two years and the chances are that it will he a decade or two before such a thing ought to be considered.
 Because the Filipinos are Iearn;nr some of rEe essentials Of succ sssf,,l government and are gfadually beng taught the principles of self control if IS not to be supposed that the brief experience they have had along +b;s me Is sufficient to equir them for self government. It has been possible ro witness the horrible mess which has been made by nations which have had much longer experience in self-sov- ernment and those examples are enough to discourage even the thought or turning the Filipinos loose to be- come the prey of greedy nations and to become the breeding ground of con stant revolution.
 The Philippines should and will get their freedom when the right t;rne comes, but it would he the rankest foiiy to attempt anything of the kinl with the islands in their present ecn- ditien.

RESTS ENTIRELY WITH AUSTRIA

The intimation now is that Austria is not satisfied with the action of this government in granting clearance pa- pers to the Italian liner Giuseppe ver- di which carries two guns at it's stern Tor defense purposes despite the fact that it has secured guarantee from the line officials that they will not be used except for defense purposes. The contention of Austria promises to be that such guns must be intended for attacks upon submarines
 However much Austria CT the cen- zral powers may lack faith in the guarantee of the Italian line, it never kheless cannot point to any instance where there has been any depagture from guch a position as tho 1talian liner has promised to maintain.

The Congregatfonalist is now owned by the Congregational Sum day School and Publishing society and controlled by board of directors, of which President Burton of Smith coI- tege is chairman.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The Hartford Times utters a great truth when 1t says that Waterbury has had a sinister reputation on account of the low-grade morals and manners of the Sunday newspapers that have used its name in the past. They have given rise to certain unjust sneers that have been made from time to time. W know better. and our near neighbors know better, but the only way to prove to the outside world that they do not represent us is to put them out of business and keep them out.-Waterbury Republican.
 It is believed in we'll informed cir cles that there is great deal of "deadwood"-in the service of the public and that the service would be improved if the state got rid of 1t. At the present time there are in round numbers about 1,S00 persons employ ed in one capacity or another by the state. There Is an opinion that if sound business principles were applied to all the departments and institu- tions of the state government this number could be reduced to an ap- preciable extent, and that improve ment in the service of the state would follow and justify the reduction. = Hartford Times.
 A good many persons, accept as truth the statement that clear skies and sunny weather will end the grip and influenza epidemics, without much idea of why 1t is so. If they took the trouble to know that, they would have knowledge to help them before the clear skies and sunny weather come. Sunshine is an enemy of the disease germ before 1t reaches the human subject, and applied to the subject, 1t fortifies against the germ. But more than all this, the sunny skies and clear weather tempts humans into their bodies and saves their lives. But the open air, if they would use it alright, would do almost as much for them when it is damp and the skies are cloudy. It is the "cooping" of the people up that kills.-New Haven Register.
 Now 1t is obviously necessary, under the present arrangement, that the vehicle licenses all expire with the end of the year. But there are twice as many operators licenses which need not expire at that time. They might be issued for a year from the time of the application for them, and sbe re- newed when they run out. Then the secretary's office would be relieved of at least that congestion at the begin ming of the year. If some change were made so that the operators licenses expired at different times throughout the year, it might be pos sible to reissue them at a leisure which would admite of some effective ex- animation and test of new applicants for license. If it be assumed that those holding operators licenses are qualified to run cars, it would not be so difficult to examine with some care the new ones as they come along.
