OTHER VIEW POINTS

There is vast quantity of this stuff destroyed because there is no other way of disposing of it. If there is an- other way householders will welcome it but there is no use in urging them to save unless there is some way of disposing of what they save. The old rag and paper collectors are beginning to take notice'' again. but they are still rare. They are the ones to reach the homes, not necessarily with an offer of money, but with a bit of po- liteness and attentive industry.-Wa- terbury American.
 When 15.0eo cars are placed every day for unloading and only 5000 car loads of freight are take naway daily there Is but one conclusion to be drawn-that eonsignees are not CO., operating with the carriers in their efforts to keep freight moving. Here tofore it has been assumed that the payment of nominal demurrage im- plies that storage on the tracks is a recognition of storage privilege Now that the charge is $5 a day extra per- haps it will be realized that a penalty is being imposed. If the new rate fails to bring relief 1t will be In order to try other means for the prompt re- lease of the cars that are needed to do the country's business.-Providence Bulletin.
 The freight clerks on the New Ha- ven road will not strike and the public will be spared the inconvenience which would have resulted had the men car rfed out their original ideas. We com | mend to employers and employees the | methods which the clerks and the difficulties. Each side receded from
 it's original demands. The road ex- plained it's position and stated candid l ly how far 1t could go in meeting the

The pub ] lie will applaud this effort of en- ployers and employees to get together | thus averting a. crisis which would have had serious effects on business. I-Meriden Record.

 this new sort of juggernaut. But
 where enforcement of the law lags or
 is entirely neglected we have a nox- fious growth of unnecessary accidents springing up on every side.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 | The latest proposition for an exten-
 sion of the public school system is that the time of the teachers be so ar- ranged as to permit a sufficient mum
 Der of them to give a five hour course of instruction to all inmates of the jails who are 30 years of age or under
 That proposition needs careful thought but is worth noting for two reasons
 First, because 1t shows the desire up- | on the part of the public to turn the criminal out of jail better man than l when he went in, and secondly because l it is another manifestation of the growing desire to extend the useful ness of the public schools. In passing it may also be noted that the average teacher in coming in direct contact with life, not as it is supposed in the
