GOOD NEWS FROM THE FRONT

Judging from the report made at the quarterly meeting of the govern ors of the London hospital the other day, war is not exactly everything that General Sherman said about it. True. it must be hell on earth in some cases; but there is a little bit of heaven sprinkled here and there When men are shot and killed out right the suffering is not so great When they are wounded and left to die a lingering death on the battle field the agony is terrible. But this latter method is not the case, as it was in our own civil war. Modern medical appliances have been brought to bear and the salvage among the wounded has been wonderful, accord ing to this report. Not alone in the English army has there been low mortality among the wounded. but the same is true of all the armies of the belligerent nations. The Eng fish surgeons give list of some three tnouSdnu Woundeu SoidlefS cared 1OT in the London hospital, less than fifty of whom died That is a very small percentage. Out of 324 sailors nursed only one died. The Germans claim that approximately ninety per cent of their wounded have recovered and are now back on the field of action This is not such a gloomy aspect after all. when other thoughts of war nre set aside. The good results to the wonderful work of tho Rod Cross and the competent ambulanca corps who are quick to get tho wounded under cover

during all the early predictions. There are many who wonder why he was
 never appointed to the Interstate
 Commerce Commission before which triumphs. In all the great railroad
 rates cases that have been before that august assemblage in some ten
 years, Brandeis has been paramount He handled the New Haven lnVest- gation and the five per cent. rate caa2. It was then he proved his fitness for the highest place that can be afford
 ed a lawyer. Unless he can be round
 guilty of conduct unbecomlng member of the bench or of unprofes- sional practices, whicr is doubtful, there can be but one O. her argument
 brought against him in any contro- versy that may be waged in the Sen- ate and that is, He has not the judi cial temperament" And yet he pos sesses every other requirement which must make for this supreme attribute. Even his time-Worn enemy Charles MelIen considers his appointment "a most excellent one. He has always been a radical before his appoint ment. he is sure to become a con- servative after he is sworn into of- flee. I can see no reason why his should not be con- firmed." The same could we'll have been said of Charles E. Hughes be- fore he. was appointed to the bench; for Hughes, like Brandeis, made his fame as an investigator and, as such, stepped on the self same toes. Yet no one will question the Judicial ,emperament' of Hughes Why then discredit Brandeis?

COMMIJNICATED.
Another Country Heard From On A Vital Subject:-- '"Iake Care of
 Your Eyes,

Albert Lea, Minn., Jan. 25, 1916. Editor of the New Britain Herald:- :- i Dear Sir
 l cannot refrain from making a few comments on your editorial of Jan- uary 18th, bearing the appropriate ti- tie Take Care of Your Eyes, In all respects save one the words of advice and warning therein eX- pressed merit naught but praise. Tn e exception consists in the fact that the only persons specifically licensed by statutory law to examine eyes for tho purpose of fitting glasses, the only practitioners whom the law says must understand eyes and optics before un- dertaking to do this work-the opto- metrists-are entirely ignored. On the other hand, stress is laid upon the supposed "medicaP' aspect of @ ser vice which legislatures, courts and public opinion alike have recognized as onmedical-the fitting of glasses "a practice which no amount of "medicaP' training could possibly qualify a person to follow, mathema- tics and physics, admittedly being the basis of an understanding of optics; physics not being synonomous with "physic," and a lens not pill.
 It is as though an editorial dealing with the care of the teeth, for ex- ample, had ignored dentists, the per sons usually consulted when the teeth need attention.
 Quite apart from the resentment which members of our profession might be expected to feel over being thus ignored in an article dealing with an organ whose refractive needs it is their special function to supply, the editorial in question lacks complete ness by reason of this omission, and is misleading as well.
 Not only Connecticut, but all the New England states now have opto- metry laws boards of examiners in optometry and societies made up of earnest men whose aim is to serve hu- manity and conserve human sight and welfare.
 Next July one of the New England states-Rhode Island-will entertain delegates from all over the United States and Canada to a National Op- tometric congress whose purpose in visiting Providence, the convention city, will be to compare experiences, demonstrate the latest methods of eye examination and fitting and profit by the work of the past year.
 I am sure that the Herald, which displays so much interest in human welfare, is not lacking in appreciation for class of men and women who, in their special field, aim to serve the public faithfully and well.
 Respectfully,
 ALBERT MYER

America, nicely started just as it Is proposed that we sail start the dye industry of America. And we shall pay five times as much for our tea.
 Protection" for the dye industry means that the private capitals sts who want to make dyes propose that this government shall assure them an unduly high price for their product until such time as they have learned their business, and can produce dyes at something like the price they should be produced at. We have no assurance that such a time will ever arise In practise, these high tariff "protections" have a habit of stick ing on, whether the alleged necessity for them remains or not. In the meantime the public pays a continual subsidy to the protected industry in the form of higher prices than are charged for the same goods else where.
 We have one protective tariff wall already. Every ounce of dye made in Germany must pay the freight of 5000 miles In America. If, after paying that freight, it is still better and cheaper than the American dye, shall we bar it out and pay higher prices for the American product sim- ply because it is an American pro- duct? That is the proposition.

Protection For Dyes.
(Bridgeport Telegram )

Every protectionist newspaper in America is worried at present about the dye situation and every such pa ner is advancing argument for high nrotective tariff on dyes, in order to build up dye industry in America "Protecton" is the name of a thing. In this case the thing which is described as "protection,' means that every head of family must dive down in his pocket to make some body else richer It means that dye stuffs will cost more than they ever cost before, and that articles which are dyed will be correspondingly higher.
 Germany, with it's knowledge of monopolized the worlds dye market to date Germany knows more about dyes than any other nation, by 100 per cent. No other manufacturers can compete with the German dye makers in the quality of the product or in it's cheapness.
 Now the proposition is this:
 Put a tax on all German dyes that enter the country.
 This tax vii enable American dye 
 their inferior product.
 The public will pay this tax, and the money that thus comes out of the public's pocket will establish the dye industry of America"
 There is no objection to doing this, providing that those who propose it are willing to tell the truth about it and call it by it's right name. The right name is not "protection"! It is Subsidy You-I, the next fel- low, we all--are asked to dip down in our pocket and pay fixed tax on every ounce of dye-stuff that comes into this, country, in order that a lot of manufacturers who don't know their business will be able to com manufa cturers who do know their business.
 Again note, there is no objection to this course provided that the peo- pie who must pay understand that they must pay, and are willing to do so. That's their affair.
 There is no reason why the same course cannot be applied to any other commodity under the sun. The tea that is grown in India, Cey1on, China and Japan, can be grown in America but not as cheaply as in those coun- tries. Put sufficient tax upon inn ported teas, and America will find it profitable to have tea-farmS Then We shall have the tea industry of

WHY D1soREDrr BRANDEIs?

@ Naturally there must arise storm s8pf protest against President Wilson's
 s snnointment of Louis D. Brande1s to &he Supreme Court of the United Estates. and the clouds will gather @over camps that are pitched on soil #owned and controlled by the moneyed n Interests of the nation. For Louis ED Brandeis, be it understood, is #bcen fearless in his attacks on the #bfg corporations, who has been ever #ready to hold a whip hand over those #who would run things to suit them Mselves. He is stamped as a radical, Ban agitator, with sometimes the ad- Elective professional thrown in for Padded measure. And he has endured 8the spiteful and approbrious epithets 8of the railroads and the so-called A'smoney power.'' for at every turn in shis career he met them with an in zcaVsed them to turn back where be- ffofe they had ridden rough shod over Ea<ery obstacle. His services to the Speop1e and to the country cannot be Hsneasured in meagre terms.
 As a lawyer versed in the intricate workings of corporation law MT. SBrandeis has few, if any, equals in Sthis country As stickler for de- stails and fundamentals he stands in Sa class by himself. No one, however sbiased can raise against him the Brandeis has met his antagonists in } all fields and he has never come away beaten or conquered. Some of 1.-the highest paid corporation law Tyers in this country will attest to that land admit, in shame, if you will, he i has worsted them on more than one occasion. To compare him with Will liam Howard Taft, as one of Con- |necticuts esteemed newspapers did this morning, is cruel, and uncalled for. But this must be expected from

 road and banking interests. Taft and Brandeis are two different types.
 When it comes right down to brass
 tacks there are eminent authorities
 who believe the former president
 never knew half the law Brandeis carries around With him. Because
 he is an agitator is no reason he will
 not make a competent jurist. As a
 matter of fact he is just about what
 the supreme court needs to give it
 Rn insight into all the phases of life.
 Louis Brandeis knows life from
 many angles. He has not spent all
 his time in the study, put has gone
 forth into the fields where men labor
 He knows the wants and needs of
 the man who tolls in the factory
 as well as he knows of those things
 behind the lace curtains and frills of society.
 There must be surprise occasioned
 by this appointment when the name
 of the Massachusetts lawyer has been
 never mentioned for the honor. But the mystery is that he was passed by
