Judge Reed in the New Haven court made an interesting statement a few days ago while passing sentence on two young fellows for an assault. He declared that while their conduct was reprehensible the state shared some of the responsibility because of lax en- forcement of excise laws. All famil- far with conditiosn about the state, especially in New Haven, in this re- spect we must agree with the judge. The state police are doing good work, and the body must be enlarged and strengthened. Experience has proven that in a great many cases local off cials will not do their duty in enforc- ing liquor laws. This is not true in Bristol, but Bristol is distinctly differ ent from the majority of places, for her police force is removed from poli- tics and is therefore free to do it's duty. Under the circumstances Con- necticut evidently must depend more on the state police in the future than it has in the past if it expects excise and many other laws to be enforced as they should-Bristol Press.
 Apropos of President Wilson's dec laration that he is ashamed of the timidity of American businessmen in the face of their foreign competitors, Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, points out that the late J. J. Hill showed no much timidity, that, on the contrary, he showed great courage and enterprise in establishing @ steamship line to the Orient, that the Pacific Mail Steamship company did the same thing, and that President Wilson, by signing the La Toilette bill, signed the death warrant of American shipping on the Pacific, turning it over to the Japanese, and Governor Shaw points out further that it was fear trembling in the face of what he con- ceived to be the wishes of the labor voters which made MT. Wilson sign the seamanship bill. He says, further, that the late E. H. Hartman conceiv- ed the idea of great railway system to traverse Mexico and connect this country by rail with all the Latin American republics, and that by his Mexican policy MT. Wilson has set back that project at least half a cen tury, and that most of MT. Wilson's Mexican policy has been prompted by his fear and trembling lest he lose so much political capital as might be made by the democratic slogan, He has kept us out of war."-Meriden Journal.

Cooling or Cleaning With Air.

A jet of water is capable of cooling or cleaning but it's action is limited to materials which will not be injur- ed by moisture, and it requires pro visions for drainage. Air, on the oth- CT hand, will clear or cool a batch of dough or a chunk of steel with equal facility. A steam jet, too, can accom- plish many things by direct action, but who wants to work around one?

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The state of Connecticut is putting down a new road between New Haven and Derby, to replace the old mac adam turnpike which long ago gave up it's honored ghost as a serviceable highway. The new road, in accord ance with the experience of the state highway commissioner, is of reinforc- ed concrete. This road will be giving good service for generations to come. People ma yoppose concrete for vari- ous reasons, but the fact is that to date, all things considered, it is the best road material discovered.- Bridgeport Telegram.
 The federal farm loan board has had it's fling and has put before the farm CTS the proposition which it makes as attractive as possible and the promise of which holds out a tempting bait in the agricultural districts. There is no time to test the operation now, and the plan, like the anti sonic dodge of old, is "a good enough Morgan till aft CT election" It will hold the attention of the farmers and loom large after November before the fruit can be ex- pected to mature from the attractive blossom. Money is to be poured into the pockets of the farmers without stint, after election.

CHINESE
SUSPECT
MIKADO

SHANGHAI, Jan. 5.-Is Japan
back of the revolution that is now
beginning to convulse China?
Will the mikado use the rebel
lion as pretext to land an army
on. Chinese soil and gain a foot
hold that will establish forever
Japan's supreme position in the
east?
Conviction has followed upon
rumor, and already the foreign
city OF Shanghai here is prepar-
ing for a reign Of terror perhaps
more terrible than that of the
Boxer uprising.
There is growing feeling
here that the revolt being
conducted by Gen. Tai 40 to
sweep Yuan Shi Kai from the
emperor's throne really was
adroitly engineered by Japan
. csc agents and that unless II
IL checked Japan will soon
spread soldiers over the land
on the pretext of restoring
Order!
Since the rebellion, starting in
Yun-Nan, has spread to four other
provinces, Sze-Chuen, Quei-Chow,
Quang-Se and Kiang-See, this city
practically has been under mar
tial rule.
At the big "west gate" of the
native city, which opens into the
French concession, the ordinary
patrol of three French police has
Z cen increased to company oil
men with a lieutenant in COM
mand. At the north and south
gates the British have stationed
companies of the tall, turbaned
sikh police, that have been the
pride of Shanghai for years.
While Yuan is reported to have
dispatched 10000 loyal troops
from the eastern border of See
Chuen to strike at the heart of the
revolt, in Yun-Nan, 1t is believed
here the move is hopeless. The
government troops face a TWO
weeks march through the noun
tains in a region where disorder
already is raging.
4 Yuan has admitted the
weakness of his position by
appealing to France for per-
mission to land troops some-
where i'm the TOnkin gulf
and march them across the
northern portion of French
Indo-China to reach Yum
Nan.
1t is Yuan's only chance OF
striking quickly and effectively
at Tsai-Ao and the heart of the
revolt and the question on the
lips of everybody here is
IL France refuses permission
will Yuan, aping the Germans in
Belgium, dare to violate French
neutrality by driving across
