SAFETY FIRST, LAST, AND ALL
 THE TIME"

Never in the history of American
 railroading has there been such 8 re-
 markable year as the fiscal one which
 closed on the thirtieth of June, 1915. During the previous twelve months up to that date 325 railroads in this coun- try escaped single fatality to a passenger in a train accident. This report was given out yesterday by the bureau of railroad news and sta tistics, in Chicago, to which nearly all Nothing of the kind has ever been heard of before, either in the United States or in any nation abroad. The roads which reported operate 161,943 railroads in tho United States in some what over and above the 250,000 mile point. The total record of fatalities to passengsrs in accidents on the com bined railroads of the United States shows 198 killed. In comparison, all the railroads of Europe, operating 100000 miles of track less than Amer tcan roads, killed 700 passengers in tho same fiscal year. These figures are as showing to what end the Safety First" campaign might have been taken had not a lapse of vigilance been allowed to creep in. At the present rate the fiscal year of 1916 will have no chance of favorable comparison with the fiscal year of 1915, when all returns are presented to the bureau of railroad statistics. It should be, Safety First, Safety Last, Safety All the Time.''

Had he re- jected the German note, the one pre- vious to the Sussex epistle, all would have been lost Then he would not have had a leg to stand on. As it is, he has satisfied ever person who fol- lowed the case with his fairness and impartiality, has won the sympathy of even his erstwhile foes, has brought out unanimous support in the event of a clash. But that is remote possibility. It would not seem pos sible that Germany would deliberate- ly seek a break, after all her prom ises. Yet, there is no use in build ing false hopes in view of what has happened in the past. The only thing we can do is to hold our horses and see what happens, bearing in mind the old saw, 'They also serve who only sit and wait"

When Is a Man Drunk?
 (Hartford PoSt.)

The question of a mans sobriety has often been brought up in court and many judges in different parts of the country have rendered opinions and given their definition of a drunk" Some state that a man who has been imbibing too freely is drunk when he cannot walk straight; others have described an intoxicated man as one who had "too much aboard" to be able to talk clearly and so on But some entirely new ex- amp1es alleging to prove that a man is drunk have cropped out in the tes- timony of witnesses in will case in a New York court. Asked by the court to explain how they knew the man in question was intoxicated vari- ous persons declared they based their opinions on the facts that they had seen him acting as follows;
 Trying to open beer bottles with his teeth.
 Going out for an "eye .opener' wearing his wife's kimono.
 Looking for a burglar in a bureau drawer.
 Clipping his baby's eyebrows with shears.
 Biting off the neck of a whisl1ey flask.
 Offering to jump out of , ffteen- story window and back again for q drink.
 Chewing his tongue and pouring ice-water on his head.
 The performance of any one of the above actions ought to prove that the man wasn't in his right mind, but at the same time there is nothing about any of them that would determine beyond all doubt that he was drunk.
 Too much liquor affects different men in different ways. It pacifies one and turns another, ordinarily a calm hammered person, into battle seek CT. Two drinks are too many for some men; other can take ten and still retain possession of their senses. Which brings us back again to the old question of when is T man drunk?"
 It does not seem that the caso re. ferred to has answered it satisfactor- fly, if at all, even with all the ex- amples cited, and the world will have to seek elsewhere for a standard definition that may be used to satisfy everybody as to when a man is in the condition known as drunk"

Just Stating Facts. (Hn ntf>I

We have letter-a highly per- sonal letter; in fact a letter so ner- sonal that we couldn't possibly nni,- fish it-accusing us of "having it in for Frank Healey' and of "houndjna Frank Healy."
 That is not the case. We know Mr Healy's personality to include many managing qualities. From a purely partisan political standpoint we should welcome his nomination since not to regard him as the weakest of the republican possibilities would re- quire belief that his record of re- moval from an office of public trust for malfeasance therein was a matter of complete indifference to the entire electorate of Connecticut
 We do not presume to set forth any opinion as to MT. Healy's guilt or in- nOCence in the charges for which he was removed from his place. That was passed upon by Governor Rol;in s. Woodruff and Attorney General (now governor) Marcus H. HOIcomb.
 We are merely making it plain that the republican organization is con- sdering the nomination of man whom a republican governor of Connecticut did not consider fit to remain in the office tax commissions CT because that governor was convinced the man had solicited the sum of 5 = 200 for such aid as he might render
 in inducing a caucus of Hartford county senators and representatives to name as county commissioner Howard H. Steel. of New Britain.
 This is no matter of hostile political or personal assertion. It is a matter of record. In our busy lives some of us are in danger of forgetting rec ords or of disregarding records And neither one of these things is it proper for us to do when we prepare to make our selection of the man we believe should be elevated to tho high office of the chief magistracy of Connecticut.

Namiquipa 5 Salubrious Air Zs Conducive 70 Longevity

Washington, D. C., May 12-Until force began to establish a camp at Namiquipa, in the state of Chihuahua this little Mexican village of a few hundred inhabitants had about as much prospect of becoming known to the American public as Valley Forge had before George Washington de- cided to make the Pennsylvania ham let the headquarters of the Contin- ental army during the blackeSt win ter of the Revolutionary war.
 The National Georgra phic society, in war geography bulletin, issued today from it's headquarters in Wash ington, gives the following data about the village which up to the present time has been of such little moment that few maps of Mexico rec ord it's location:
 "Namiquipa, where General Per- shing began concentrating his forces while General Oregon, of the Car ranza cabinet. and Major Generals Scott and Funston, representing the American government, were in con- ference in Ciudad Juarez, is a village nestling near the border of the state of Sonora. in the foothills of the Sier- ra Madres. It Is situated on the banks of one of the shallow tributar- ies of the Rio de Santa Maria. sixty miles due west of Agua Nueva, the nearest station on the mainline of the railroad between El Paso and Chihua- hua. It is about 1S0 miles south of Ei Paso. more than seventy miles northwest of Chihuahua City, and fully two hundred miles northwest Of Parral, the southerly point reached by the. advance cavalry under Col. Dodd.
 For the present at any rate the American soldiers are not expected to experience any discomfort from the heat in this locality, for the nights are usually cool and the mornings frosty during the spring months. Ac~ counts of the climate are so glowing that one almost expects to find a concealed reference to some progress sive summ er-and- winter resort hotel in that vicinity One enthusiastic traveller asserts that the salubrious

will be Carranza's swinging place, the nearest wall his last stand. It is Car ranza or nothing with the dissatisfied peOns. The sooner the American gov ernment realizes the terrible conse- Quences that are liable to grow out of the Mexican situation as it is now be- stirring itself, the better for all con- cerned. Regardless of what the sus- pension of negotiations between Gen. eral Scott and Carranza's representa- tive may mean, our troops must never leave Mexican territory until the last bandit is dead.

MEXICO, MY MEXICO.

With the announcement that there has been 8 suspension of the confer ence between General Scott, repre- senting the American government, and General Obregon, representing the de facto government of Mexico, comes the news that the bandit followers have again crossed the border and at tackled American citizens. This means that no matter how much agrieved First Chief Carranza may be over the fact that a punitive expedition is oc- cupying Mexican territory the work of clearing up Northern Mexico of outlawry and protecting the Ameri- can border must go on. Nor shall it cease until the work has been com plete1y finished. At present there are not troops enough along the Mexican border to protect it from the outrages of the Mexican marauders; but elaborate preparations are being made by the Secretary of War and in the near future there will be regular troops and state militia there to in sure safety. In the meantime all Americans have been warned to shake the dust of Mexico from their feet. Some will take the warning, repeti- ton of the one sounded long ago, and others will ignore it and remain to paddle their own canoes. Whatever Americans do in Mexico, Americans who are in the United States know what must be done and that Is, pre- vent any further outrages, as far as possible.
 Every regular soldier available should be sent post haste to the Mex ican border to help those who are al- ready there. Every member of the national guard in the United States should be sent down to back up the regulars. And then, when this Is done, and the men of our national Congress see the meagre forces that this country must rely on for protec- ton, a bill should be despatched through the two Houses of Congress to increase the military equipment of the nation. If allowed to run another week, conditions On the border will demand intervention in Mexico. The bandits who are running amuck in the northern states of that country are not conducting such an aimless campaign as may seem apparent. Ihey are united to this extent. They want the scalp of Carranza, one way or another. Either they will oust him from the seat of president of the de facto gov- ernment, or they will force the United
 States to go in and wage war, not
 against the Villistas, or the Iapltlstas' 1 or any particular clan of MeXlcans' put agalnst all the Mexicans. If that

 By this time the American troops probably have had occasion to test the reputed virtues of the cebadilla, or sneeze-wort plant, the juice Of whose spotted leaves is believed by the natives to be an excellent anti dote for the venom of rattlesnakes, scorpions tarantulas, spiders, aud many other reptiles and insects which infest Chihuahua. Snakes are said to give the cebadilla wide berth ana the Indians declare that reptile will die in convulsions after having been irrited until it strikes at and bites the leaves held before it.
