SUCCESSFUL LAWS MARK REFORMS BUT DO NOT
 MAKE THEM.
(By James Hartley Beal)


 One of the facts we may learn from the history of political experi- ments is that successful laws do not make reforms, but only mark them, the reforms have so far gained the consent of the minds and hearts of the people that the written statutes are merely concrete expressions of the will of a liberal majority of those who are to live under them. If a proposed reform will really make the world a better place to live in, it is necessary only to convince a majority of the people of its wisdom and desirability, when appropriate legislation will follow logically and naturally. Generally, however, the radical reformer resents the slow and cumbrous methods of education and prefers to make an organized assa ut upon the law-making body and com pei an immediate acceptance of his | so-called reform by act of legisla- | ture-
 
 | der1ded and violated with compara- tive impunity, the reformer will not admit, and probably does not realize | that the legislation was in advance of genuine public sentiment His remedy is to adopt still more Iegisla- | ton of the same kind, piIing prohf- bftion upon prohibition and penalty upon penalty, with the result of pro- during an ever increasing number of violations, and correspondingIy dim finished respect for the authority of the law.
 If mere law-making could make men or society perfect the world would have been free from evil several millenniums ago. Every known political and social tort has been legislated against thousands of | times and yet these wrongs persist and not a. few when traced to their | sources will be found to be the direct outgrowth of the very laws intended to prevent them.

Flowers Light
 Up Court Room

The drabness of the Superior court room was lighted up today by beautiful bunch of roses presented to Judge Kee1er by Gustave F. Her thai, who is a member of the jury The flowers seemed to change the whole atmosphere of the room. The case being heard. started last Thursday, was two damage suits brought by William Rabideau, father of Alfred and Edmund Rabideau against Andrew Adzinla, whose car is alleged to have caused the death of the two boys. The lads were riding a bicycle near Devon, Milford, last October, and negligent operation of a truck is claimed to have caused in stant death of one lad, the other dy- ing two days later Total damages of $20,000 are asked

Two Norwalk
 Appeals Heard

Two Superior court petitions were filed this morning, both being appeals from the Board of Relief, Norwalk. The first is that of Manresa Institute, which organization claims that their property is exempt from taxes for a value up to S1OO,OOO, which amount it is alleged covers the property. The board of assessors called the holdings worth $146, ,0O0, hence the appeal.
 The other case is that of Michael Connery, administrator of the estate of Nathaniel Whitman. Property as sessed at $15,760 is said to have proven on open market but a short time ago only worth $1O,OOO.

WHY WE HAVE PROHIBITION
(Fabian Franklin in the July Yale
 Review)

(EaDlan tTank1n III the July 1dIe
 ReView)
 The Anti-Saloon League did not tri- unph over resistance; it triumphed through the absence of resistance It cid not win because almost everybody was anxious to enact prohibition; 1, won because almost nobody. was anxious to preserve liberty. AZ man might have a profound love of lib erty and yet feel that the evil of drink was so great as to outweigh the evil of this particular infringement of liberty But nine-tenths of those who favored prohibition, and ninety nine one-hundredths of those who, while not favoring prohibition, were willing to have it comeI about, never made the comparison; they were quite unconscious that there was anything at all in the other scale of the balance.

Anthony Schawinski, 31 Park ter race, whose ten year operation of a motor car on Bridgeport'S streets has cost nine lives, had his case noIled in City court this morning upon pay ment of $5. being brought in on a charge of reckless driving. The fact that yesterday was his birthday and he was celebrating and also that all nine lives were Snuffed out at once when he ran over a cat, caused him to be treated lightly.

Why India?

4 CALL has been published in this country for
~ subscriptions to an India independence
Fund" As an inducement to liberality, it is stated
that $500 will equip fighter in India and $I.oo
will support one fighter for week" 1t seems that
war must be cheapsin India, cheap in money cost,
but no cheaper than everywhere else in human life.
This appeal can hardly be for love of India. If
that country got its so-called independence" its
people would not know what to do with it.
About their first use of it would probably be to
fight each other. They are as radically opposed
as are North and South ireland. Nor is there evil
dence that the great mass of the people want nde-
pendence. Great Britain has always had the sup
port of Indian troops to put down Indian rebellion
and the present troubles there based in caste
rather than political freedom.
Why do these American devotees of liberty,
pick India for their donations? Why are they
so anxious to have those people shot down by
superior troops, far better equipped? Why do they
not pick the Filipinos? They are demanding their
independence and fully we'll qualified to rule
themselves, to support a government and to pro-
mote the welfare and happiness of their people
Why not promote war on our own front door
step, rather than on Britan's? Why not have
American soldiers and the Philippine constabulary
slaughter Fipinos rather than the British NOW
down Indians?
Those who contribute to this fund as sort Of
preface to the Washington conference, are worse
than wasting their money. Certainly they are not
helping the United States, their country; they
are not doing kindness to India and they are not
materially hurting Great Britain. One Indian
equipped at SIoo with SI.oo week for subsistence
would be no more than machine gun fodder. He
would not have chance

ality as pure, a patriotism as dis
interested, and a state OF society
as happy, as have prevailed where
their doctrines have been most prev
alent, it may be in season to seek
an answer to the objection raised
as to their doctrines. 1t was
fault of no ordinary magnitude
that sometimes they did persecute.
But let him, whose ancestors were
not ten times more guilty, cast the
first stone, and the ashes OF our
fathers will no more be disturbed.
Theirs was the fault of the age,
and 1t will be easy to show that no
class of men had. at that time, ap-
pro&imated so nearly to just appre-
tensions Of religious liberty; and
that IL is to them that the world
is now indebted, for the more just
and definite views which now pre-
vail. Their superstition and bigotry
are themes on which some of their
descendants have delighted to
dwell. But when we look abroad
and behold the condition of the
world compared with the condition
Of New England. we may justly ex-
claim: Would to God that the an
