WASTING LIFE.

Regardless of the large number of deaths being caused in connection with the operation of automobiles and the many laws and restrictions enacted in order to safeguard the highways and to protect life, there continues to be a seemingly steady increase in the number st fatalities which, from the report of the circumstances. could have been avoided by the exercise of proper care.
 Experience may be a dear teacher but .here are those who are unwilling to take The word of anyone else to that effect md there are those who seem to think hat they can escape from what others have gone through even though they throw precautions to the wind and fol low in their footsteps. when g common sense recognition of danger and a prop er regard for warnings direct otherwise

Quite in keeping with expectations is the announcement to the effect that there have already been filed applications for the development of half million horse power in rivers of the country, in ac- cord with the provisions of the. recently enacted water power legislation
 It is probable that some of the great est opportunities for the establishment of hydroelectric plants and the develop ment of electrical energy for distribution over large areas lie in the western states but the act applies to the entire country and wherever there is a chance to get the benefit of it's provisions full advan- tage should be taken.
 With the estimate of 50,oo0,00d horse power going to waste because of the failure to utilize the streams, it is plaiT that much can be done in the way oi meeting the situation that exists today of high priced coal and coal shortage! by making use of the water power. Tot long has this avenue to cheaper power been neglected and too long have effort! been underway to secure a law Wn1cr would make it possible to utilize tha which has been denied without makin. every effort to get the full and earl. benefit therefrom.
 In all sections of the country there ar water privileges that ought to be devel eped for the extension of relief in tn way of cheaper power. New Englant may have undergone much more exten sive development along this line thai some other sections of the country but | hasn't by any means begun to reach it limit. It still has opportunities big an little for cutting coal consumption an supplying power and light but they ar only contributing to waste as long a 1 they are permitted to remain idle. 1 While those in western states are be ginning to move. the New Englander should not neglect their chance. For

terest in the contests between these two American yachts. but from now on greater attention will be given to the Shamrock ". as it tunes up in prepara- ton for the race and discloses some of it's unknown qualities There is mark ed difference between the challenger and the defender. The latter Is much smaller being in fact one of the smallest, yachts ever participating in an international contest of single stickers, It will there fore carry much less sail than the chal- lenger and will doubtless get consid- erable time allowance though 1t is to be hoped that dependence will not have to be placed upon that.
 The ending of the trial contest, how ever, means that attention will turn to the bigger event, and even though the Vanitie deesn't get the honor of defend ing the cup it's owners and builders have the satisfaction of knowing that she is g close second to the Resolute.

UNDER PRRFEeT CONTROL.

Evidence is increasing to support the declaration of Postmaster Burleson to the effect that it is a Wilson convention that is in session at San Francisco. It Is therefore working out as desired by the president, regardless of whatever other influences have been at work.
 In the keynote speech, Houer Cum pinEs as temporary chairman, delivered in address that had the approval of the president and for that reason it is to be supposed that he dealt with the treaty of Versailles and the league of nations ls he did This is subject of course lpon which there is a desire to bring about harmony among the democrats even as the president tried to bring about unity among the senators within his par v, but it Is a question how much sue sess Mir. Cummings attained in his de- Tense of the stand that the president .ook IL was of course his duty to up. hold the presidents course. Otherwise he could not have obtained the presi- ients approval of his keynote address .n advance but when he declares that Tn every speech made in his tour the president stated entire willingness to ac- cept any and all reservations not in- compatible with Americas honor and true interests" how many of the reserva- tions that were proposed did he indicate his willingness to accept in spite of the fact that it was known that they would be accepted by the nations Of Europe?
 It is well enough to say op such an oe- casion that it is the plain intent of the covenant to exempt this and to exclude that but it is quite evident that such intention as the covenant contains does not satisfy many of the friends of the league who believe that the welfare ot this country and it's interests require such safeguards as have been demand ed. and it is these very safeguards reservations which in the opinion oi democrats as well as others are "compat ible with American honoIF-te which tht president has turned cold shoulder and made it impossible by his uneom promising attitude to secure ratification
 Mir. Cummings doesn't change the gen ersl opinion that but for the stubborn at tTtude of the president upon this matte the treaty would long ago have been rat fled. In fact it could hardly be expect ed for it is a Wilson convention and Vii son praises must be sung, even thougl the country doesn't applaud.

ABSOLUTE AS DEFENDER.

It has taken a long time to reach a decision as to which yacht should be ,hosen as the cup defender, for the pre- iiminary trials were begun some years ago but there is no surprise that the committee in charge of the task should 7gres upon the Resolute.
 The war of course put to an end the possibilities of carrying out the race back in 1914. At that time one of the three that had been built as possible defenders of the Americas cup had been eliminated and 1t was a question whethei the Resolute or the Vanitie would be SC. lected 10 make the contest with the new Lipton yacht. Even then the Resolutt indicated that it possessed advantages put reliance was not placed upon per tormances of six years ago in finally reaching the decision. The new serie. of contests this year showed that tn, Resolute was the favorite, that it being the winner in large majority of tn, trial races, and it was quite natural tha the judges should come to the conclu sion that it demonstrated superiorit! that could net be disregarded.

 Dim, dark, and mysterious by day. the narrow TangieF streets become ghost-like ravines at night, with shrouded figures, stealthily moving about holding what look like ladies' hat boxes, in which are candles, shedding dim rays too soon ab- serbed by the velvety darkness.

KEEPING AWAY FROM TROUBLE.

Count Paul Bajnotti, late Of Turin, Italy. may have been interested in Prov idence, R. l., and been anxious to do it a geod turn. Such is at least indicated by the terms of his will by which he left a fund of s1eo00 the income of which was to be given each year 10 the girl of the common people who best deserved it by her conduct and family virtues. But if he had really expected such a respen- siblity would be accepted as he required '''- c'-.' ta assume it doesn't appear that he could have given the task of l....t ,.@,,i dinS that prize sufficient con- sideration Such job might have been undertaken in a small village, or in a school for girls but for a committee in a city of any size to assume such duty is out of the question.
 There is thus no surprise when the city coupcil, acting upon the suggestion and recommendation of the mayor, de cIined to accept the gift. It is in fact the easiest way out of an almost impos- sihle job. As the mayor well says, "It seems to me that the commission ap. pointed, even after the most painstakins study and research, would find it ex. tremeEy difficult to determine upon any single individual more worthy of the prize than perhaps a hundred others, and it is equally apparent that he wei understands the difficulties involved WheI he says the qualifications demanded ar extremely difficult to investigate and de terTnine with any degree of fairness | Providence is doubtless sorry tha some young woman is not going to b able to get the benefit of that fund eac1 year, but it's authorities know too wei the danger of trying to pose as judge under the stipulated conditions.
