BLIND ASSISTANCE,

The administration appears to be | as determined to put through that piece of legislation known as the ship ping bill as it was to enact the sea- mems bill, regardless of the pitfalls and the mistakes which have been re- 1 vealed in the latter.
 In spite of the fact that a number ] of amendments have been made to 1 the measure as at first drawn in or l der to dispose of some of the opposi- ] ton which has arisen and for the purpose of correcting some of the de- 1 fects which have been pointed out and which cannot fail to be recog- nized, even ' though the alterations have served to change the character of the legislation to a marked degree,
 the insistence upon the passage Of the
 bill does not, abate.
 With the amendments agreed to re-
 stricting the purchase of vessels, and
 insisting upon every effort being made
 to lease the vessels acquired under
 the provisions of the bill before the government attempts to operate such
 itself it must be realized that it is going to be a long time before there
 will be any ships which the govern ment might acquire which could be utilized in accomplishing the relief which is sought by the bill, and if that assistance cannot be rendered in overcoming the shortage the legisla- ton might as well remain unpassed.
 What is needed is more encourage ment for capital to invest in the con- struction of more ships. A great many have been built and others are on the ways for this very purpose. They are being provided to meet the emergency created by the war, but it must be realized that some considera- ton must be given to the situation which is to follow the declaration of peace, and if the same amount of ef- fort and determination was given to that as is being manifested in behalf of what promises little or no relief, but which has and which continues to arouse strong opposition, a far great CT service would be rendered to ship ping and the country.

LACK OF UNIFORM JAWS

Attention is frequently directed to the need of uniform legislation in the several states of the country. This is manifested in many directions as the instances where one state permits acts which its neighbor prohibits come to light and it has gotten so that where it is impossible to carry out ones desires in his own common wealth immediate steps are taken to fad out how far it would be neces- saTy to travel to find a state where there is greater Iaxity in legislation.
 This is often the case regarding marriage and divorce. The practice of incorporating enterprises in certain states because of the increased ad- vantages which can be obtained is also familiar, but the probating of the will of Mrs. Hetty Green at Bellows Falls, Vt. shows how carefully stud fed is the effort to get around the provision of the inheritance tax laws.
 Mrs Green spent the greater part of her life in the handling of glarge fn5aciaF interests in New York or New Jersey.

BEING A CITIZEN

After all aren't men wonderful!' D sang the bride, apropos of nothing in 1 particular, in the midst of the sew ing class. No one answered. Every | body smiled a superior smile of sym pathy and understanding and waited for her to explain.
 They understand all about every thing!" continued the bride Here after I'm always going to ask Billy about things" There was @ penitence in her voice that created new interest. "WeIl?" ''Yes?" ''Why?" asked several at once.
 Its voting," confessed the bride, blushing. I wasn't going to be q bit crooked about it, because voting seems so sOr- of sacred, you know. So wouldn't even ask Billy what to do, or whom to vote for. Besides, sort of wanted him to learn that I had mind of my own, you understand"
 'tso last election day I went over to vOte" continued the bride, and ] hunted and hunted for sign, and finally l saw one, with lots of people around, and I went and got in line. And you don't know how slowly they were! It must have been nearly two hours l stood in line, in my new gray suede shoes, getting tkern all spoiled and stretched.
 Finally I reached the desk. I had most forgotten the name of the man I'd picked out to vote for, by that time! Then an aWfully bold sort of man asked me where I lived, and calm ly told me that l was in the wrong place! He didn't even tell me where l should go! I was mad all over, and l told him what I thought of the whole decayed political system. where they just purpOsely jed you aStray, so you'd get tired and not vote!
 But I was determined to vote in spite of them. and I went out and hunted around until I found another polling place, nearer home, and there was a policeman there whom I asked about it. He said yes, this was the right place for me, and the other had been out of my precinct, whatever that might be. Anyway, ! got in line again, even forgetting my feet in my en- deavCr to help clean up politics by vOt- ing honestly. ! feel that it is our duty every one of us
 By and by I got in, and crawled slowly nearer the desk. I hate pub iiCity, so I whispered my name to the nice matTonly woman there, and she called it out right after me, with my address, so that any tramp could have followed me right home Truly, I was frightened for week after whenever the bell rang!
 But anyway. the two or three other men behind the desk began look ing through some big books. and every one looked up at once and said wasn't there!
 When did you -egister?' they asked. I explained that I had just been married, and how could I have registered. So they slammed the books. and told me I couldn't vote. felt murderous, but I merely turned and walked out.

WHERE THE AUTOS HELP,

Tn spite Of the countless instances which show the need of regulating the use of the automobile in the streets and highways, 1t is impossible to overlook the benefits and advantages which accrue from this type of vehi- Cle. The number is growing con- stantly and increased use is being found for it in business and for pleas ure every day.
 Something to consider in this di- rection is set forth in the report just issued by the department of agricuI- ture to the effect that the building and maintenance of improved roads never received so much encourage ment as it has since the motor driven vehicle was put onto the market and it's possibilities demonstrated. And this is a benefit which is shared in by all users of the roads, whether they happen to be driving an OK cart, a horse drawn vehicle, an automobile or even if they walk Not only has increased interest been given to bet ter roads. and a better sentiment de- VeIoDed towards the construction of improved highways by owners of ma chimes, but this report sets forth that 90 per cent. of the registration and license fees paid in 1915 by automo- bilists to the states, or S16,2I3,387, was spent on roads either for building new ones or maintaining those which had already been constructed.
 Such a sum was contributed by the owners of nearly two and a half mil lion machines and that means the de- fraying of about seven per cent. of the total sum spent upon rural roads and bridge building, while ten years ago there was less than three -tenths of one per cent. obtained through such sources. This is a gain which cannot be disregarded for it means much to every state in meeting it's highway expenditures and it is some thing to which proper consideration must be given whenever better roads and automobiles are considered.

THE COMMERCIAL SUBMARINE.

" w 'st V Fs V LS h3F1 Ell "
 The arrival in this country of the German submarine Deutschland is a matter of no slight significance, for aside from the long trip which was involved, it being the first vessel of its kind to cross the Atlantic, it pre- sents a new problem to the allies in the task of maintaining Q blockade.
 Claims were made in the past that such an accomplishment was entirely possible, and there was no reason to doubt it if it was possible to get past the enemy's wRrships, and with the ad- vantage which such underwater boats have, it has now been shown that the advocates of such an idea were by no means dreaming. All that has been claimed for the commercial subma- rine has been proved even as were the boasts about the serviceability of the submarine for war purposes out side of the limits of a ha~bor, and Germany cannot be denied the credit which is due it for the demonstration which it has made Having proved that one such vessel can get past the blockade there is no reason why a fleet of them engaged in such busi- ness cannot do much to relieve the demand for certain supplies for which that country is suffering.
 . That there twill be a thorough in 'vestigation of the vessel to determine whether it is a warship or a mer- chantman is to be expected, but if as claimed it is armed "only for defense" there is no reason why it should not have all the privileges n American harbors that are permitted to vessels Of other nations. Heretofore all sub marines have been warships. but in this; case Germany has departed from that. restriction, and a cargo carrier from Germany is as welcome here as any other vessels and it must be per nitted thei same privileges in the way of defensive armament that is allowed merchantmen of Italy, France or Great Britain, for if such shipping is going to he stopped it remains for the all lies to devise some means which will prevent it, even as they have the other cargo carriers.

That the west is up-to-date, even in the matter of highway robbertes. is shown by the holding up and robbing of five stage loads Of tourists by lone bandit in the Yosemite valley of Cali fornia.

Instances like this and the one at Sa- lem, Mass, in which an auto was be- ing used to carry away a girls body show that the motorcycle and the mo tor car are found handy, in promoting crime as we'll as in giving pleasure and conducting business. -Ansonia Senti- neI

OTHER VIEW POINTS.

Here in this large America we have Q population of approximately 10O,00O,- 900 people. Even that does not ap- proach congestion, as all the older lands of the world know it. If we will include meat in our menu we have thousands of hills on which the cattle may graze. And we are using them, in the wide stretches of the west. The trouble comes in the east, where pop ulatiOn is congeating and land goes to waste. Here is where the people cry for meat. Here is where opportunities for raising the needed cattle are most grievousIy wasted. The question of price of meat has been met so far by pay, pay, pay" But it would seem that there must come time and place of limit and a substitution of the question, Shall we eat meat?" Either that must be- or we must find new ways of increasing the meat supply New Haven Register.

LEI TIERS TO THE EDITOR
Are Cattle More Important Than
 Children?


 Children?
 Mir. Editor: About year ago we had an epidemic of foot and mouth disease in this state and a rigid quar- antine was established prohibiting the bringing of any cattle into this state and in some cases not even allowing anyone to drive them along the pulp lie highway. Now an epidemic of in fantile paralysis is raging in New York city. Yet children from New York are being brought from there daily, going and coming as they choose, and mingIing with other chill dren. There is Q Jewish boarding house within a short distance of where I live to which is brought ev- cry few days a load of children, some right from the infected district. Great preCautiOn was taken to prevent the spread of the foot and mouth disease and now it looks to me as if the cat tie were considered of more value than the health and lives of our chil- dren.
