ANOTHER CLOSE CALL
Stanley Quarter Milk Dealer Near
 Death at Crossing.

The dangers that Turk at the grade crossings in this city were once more brought to the minds of persons on their way to business on Main street about o'clock this morning. when a milk dealer named Flood of Stanley Quarter narrowly escaped injury at the Main street crossing. It is report ed that the gates, were not lowered as Flood approached the crossing, and with the dtnkey train from Bristol laundering down toward him shrieks of horror emanated from the throats of terrified onlookers. The engineer of the train, however, detected the un- guarded condition of the crossing and brought his train to a stop few feet away from Floods wagon.
 The recent terrible catastrophe at the Washington street crossing IS Tn the minds of the public yet, and with occurrences such as that of this morn ing there appears to be crying need of better facilities at the various crossings in the city. Hardly a week passes without some reports being heard relative to trains passing over crossings while the gatcrnan is enjoy ing a siesta in the arms of Morpheus or otherwise engaged.

Successors to Horse Thieves.

(SleV0ldnQ LeaQer.J
 The prevalence of robberies com- mttted by highwaymen who use auto- mobiles in their crimes suggests that they may have to be dealt with as severely as horse thieves used to be where their depredations were con- mon. Then 1t was realized that men who stole horses, especially those who used the animals they lifted" to commit ether crimes, were extremely dangerous. They made pursuit diff cult and they were able to move with such speed, from place to place, that their attacks upon lawabiding people were peculiarly hard to guard against.
 It Is so now with automobile band its They steal the machines they use to commit other crimes. They em- ploy the most powerful vehicles known to make outra ges upon so- cfety possible. Their belief in their ability to escape pursuit makes them especially bold and brutal in their methods.
 Such conditions call for the con- dign punishment of offenders caught in this form of robbery. It is evident that the cities of the United States will have to make common cause against the bandits wko begin by seiz- ing automobiles which belong to de- cent citizens and often end with mur- der. The courts must cooperate with the police in diminishing tho tempta- tion to such crimes by increasing the risks involved.

HOW TT COULD BE DONE.

Tn holding up the nomination of Dr. Cary Grayson the United States Senate has done just what the people of the nation would have it do Rather than let this young naval of- ficer jump over the heads of men who have served in the same branch of the service many years longer than he has seen, the Senators are ready for a filibuster.
 ; Even the strongest supporters of the Administration are against this action of the President in advancing Dr. Grayson to be Medical Director of the Navy. The recom- mendat1on,' it is understood, comes from the high personal regard in which the President holds his medi- cal advisor. It was but natural that after so many years of pleasant as- sociation the President should want to reward the man who has so dlli- gently cared for him. Even the thought may be taken that President Wilson advanced the name of Grayson not so much in the hope of the nomi- nation going through as to show in some measure the high personal es- teem in which he holds this young medical officer.
 However this may be, the nomina- ton should not go through And it will in all probability be killed , The hundreds of men to whom an in 1 justice would be worked should Dr l Grayson be promoted over them is 1 enough to forestall action by the Sen ! ate. The men of the upper branch o1 l Congress are determined to vote this nomination down, even if by doing SC filibuster must be instituted which ] would hold up other important busi
 ness. Rather than see this state o1 l affairs brought about it Is conceivable that Dr. Grayson himself will find z
 way to relieve the senators of suci
 necessity. A neat little speech O.
 thanks to President Wilson and z
 public dcclination on the part of tht
 doctor would be well received al

 The war strength Of Troop B. Fifth Militia Cavalry, is three officers and 105 men, but 1t is below that strength at present.

The Independents in Congress.
 Waterbury AmericanD

The half dozen independents of the house are talking quite arrogantly Of their power to control the election of officers of the house and appoint ments of chairman of committees. Either side they claim, must get their votes to control It is hinted that the cid liners of both parties may be disgusted with this behavior and make a deal among themselves which would leave the independents out, though if the latter are reasonable the natural outcome will be the election of men who can win their votes in re- turn for some concession. It still looks like a democratic control with progressves aid on margin so nar- row that the next congress will be closely divided on most questions.

Lullaby.

(By Henry Savage). 4 Ah little one, you're tired of play. Sleeps fingers rest upon your brow, You've been a woman all the day, You'd be baby now;
 Oh baby, my baby! You'd be my baby now. Perhaps you had forgotten mo Because the daisies were so white, But now you come to mothers knee, My little babe tonight;
 Oh, baby, my baby! My baby every night.
 ' Tomorrow when tho suns awoke You'll seek your flowery field again. But night shall fall, and for my sake You'll be a baby then;
 Oh baby. my baby; My little baby then. And you'll grow big and love will call, Happen you'll leave me for your And n1ght-times when the shadows I'll greet as mothers can;
 Oh baby, my babyi As only mothers can. And now my little heart of May, Lie closely, sleep is on your brow, You've been a woman all the day, You'd be my baby now! Oh baby, my babyl My little baby now.

Vainglori iousness, the men of united who took Lincoln's place would have them do. Lincoln did not plunge the nation into war until it was inevitable that war should visit the land. Will death and desolation; but, if 1t is thrust upon this nation, he will not shrink. With his every power he has attempted to stay the terrible hand of the war god. A nation fighting for it's very existence, refusing to concede that neutrals have any rights which must be respected, bent on sinking ships without warning, plungingt to their deaths innocent men, women, and children, has robbed the man in the White House of almost every out let. Were Lincoln alive and occupy ing the office of Chief Executive today he would do just what Woodrow Wilson has done, what Wilson will do when the moment of decision comes. With nation that has so many tra- ditions in back of 1t, there Is only one thing to do,-f1ght for the right.
 It is something that everybody can- not understand a nation that fought for it's own destruction and an- initiation yet lives as the greatest example of democracy the world has ever seen. The truth of the matter is that the war between the North Union might be preserved, so that human liberty could be realty. Even those who participated in 1t on the side of the South now realize that that is so. The war of '61 was a vic- torious war for all concerned what though the loss of life and the de- rtrucuon of treasure was appalling. Even those who are to this day forced to suffer hardships as the outgrowth of that war have learned to reconcile their fate as in the interest of the whole nation. The dead past is dead. SO far as the majority of men think back upon 1t. The golden future lies ahead made more brilliant because of the fact that the various sections of the country have adoptedNthe motto of one state, |" United We Stand, Di- cided We Fall"
 If in this year 1917 the United States of America should be visited by war the spirit of Lincoln need nave no fear nor feel the blush of shame. The sons and daughters of the men who fifty years ago dropped all the pursuits of life and happiness and took up the severer tasks of battle stand ready to see that the honor of that nation, united under the great shall never be be- On this his birth anni- versary the nation gathered around his shrine pledges to uphold those principles for which he stood.

TO CALL IN GOLD
Government to Redeem Coin at Its Face Value Instead of by Weight Under New Plan.

Washington. Feb. 12.-Plans for bringing much of the gold coin in circulation on the Pacific slope into the vaults of the banks are being shaped into proposals for legislation by the treasury department and fed eral reserve board. Most of the money under circulation will be re- deemed during a period of ninety days, by the government of all gold coin offered by banks and individuals at its face value instead of by weight The present practice of redeeming gold at it's weight value tends to keep light weight coins from the banks and under the proposal now being con- sidered the government would stand the loss due to abrasion. instead of the bank or the individual
 The cost to the government Of bringing the gold into it's vault by re- demption at minted value it is thought, would be considerable
 This would be offset however. pro- ponents of the plan believe by ad vantages resulting from possession of the gold in the governments vaults.
