As result of the Massachusetts supreme court decision. disniseing directors of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford road, issued in 1914 tying up the shares of stock owned by the individual respondents. It Is understood that owing to the in- ability of one of the former directors to trade his shares since the summer of 1914 he has lost a small fortune. - Hartford Times.
 The Nsw Haven Register says that the owners of the abandoned farms in Connecticut ought to coAIe forward at once with the offer of them for public use under a reasonable ar rangement. That reasonable arrange ment' is hard to obtain. One of our neighbors who let a farm of his out to a family to work for nothing. found when they had finished the season and departed that they had burned up all the fences for fire wood and had even taken boards off the barn and depleted the wood supply in other ways very materially. They also left most of the machinery, tools and uten- sls in a dila pidated condition.-Wa- terbury American.
 During the past Sabbath there were seven auto mishaps in tlse city of New Haven alone, which recalls again to our attention the necessity of strictly enforcing the city ordinances and the police regulations regarding auto traf- fic in this city. Our ordinances and police regulations have been regard ing a more or less of a joke by some of our lo--al as well as out-oftown visitors who drive automobiles and it is time the tables should be turned and sharply on those who have con sidered them as such. This year there are more autos in use in tEe state of Connecticet than ever before and con- sequeptly there are more amateurs or cubs driving machines and the danger of accidents has been greatly increas- ed. Before there is any further mis- haps to mar the record of our city some of our reckless auto drivers should be brought into the local DO ice court and given an opportunity to con- mpl9te their carelessness in the Tol- land County jail.-RockviIle Journal.
 Thousands of men in Connecticut of Judge Tuttie in ability, education. intelligence chara cter and citizen ship receive not more than one-sv- nth the salary he has annually years Furthermore those men are required to give a full working day of thc.r time and strength and mind three hundred Plays in the year. income by other activities. while the Judge in all probability does not give his en1p,oyer-the State-no~e than one hundred days of the year and each of those days is shorter than the union labor one. Also he is permitted to dtrive revenue from the practice of his profession. Com pared with the thousand dollars year for c.ose aplica tion that 90 many of the equals of a Superior court judge receive the solary and the favors and the advanta ges of the position are exceedingly generous. Judge Futile does not do him eff credit by suggesting otherwise. One of the conspicuous things of the re- cent legislative session was that of legal greed. About every lawyer who had any possible claim on a public salary was out for an inrease, re- gardless of what happened to the peo- pie who pay the bills. If there are others of the same temper on the bench they can render a distinct ser vice by resigninS.-Brietol Press.
