OH, THOU WISE LAW!

Now comes the gratifying news that
horses travelling in a car Sluxudious-
" appointed-for horses-may be
confiscated because liquor was found
in the same car.
The law is not nor should be. any
respecter OF persons, Well bred, high
strung race horses, capable of win
ming great stakes. may be considered
persons under a broad interpreta-
-tion Of the broad. generous law il
such Interpretation be made 10y a
broad-minded.. wise judge.
Perhaps the horses were 50 high
~ trained that they even were able
70 pull the corks from the bottles OF
liquor and partakS thereof; quite pos
.sibly they had obtained the liquor on
order. We once knew OF
a morse whose habit It was to turn the
water faucet when he required a
drink. and satisfy himself thus.
Think OF the awful calamity to am
community to be subjected to the
sight OF the arrival Of a carload Of
intoxicated horses. How the goot
people Of that community would tea
their long locks; how. the deep, dark
depressing gloom OF despondenc.
would drop upon them making all tn
world seem black.
And the very names OF some OF tn
guilty condemns slipper,
F!m"-of what designing deeds o
crime might anyone or anything b.
capable bearing such cognomen
And Irish Kiss"'-how. frivolousl.

pcssesor Of such a seductive name!
| BY all means connscate the horse
and allow the world to pass ever o.
ward and upward in its peaceful pat,

AUTOMOBILE TAX.

Just why Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon has picked upon motor cars
az the proper objects to bear ten
dollar Federal tax, is a question. He,
az well as others, probably feels that
motor cars are most often an expen-
sive luxury, and, a. such, owned by
men who could we'll and would will
tngly pay the tax.
Motorists. in the various states and
especially in Connecticut, are taking
pretty good care Of the roads. Quite
naturally they do not mind doing this
az they get dividends from their tax
investment every time they use these
roads. But there comes a limit be-
yond which they feel they should
not be taxed as q matter Of principle.
This is leaving out of account en-
tirely the fact that automobiles are
being used more and more in bust
ness. It is for the benefit of the pub
lie that this development is growing.
An automobile may be at one time Of
SAAS 10y essentially pressure V0u1CX0,
while during another portion Of the
day 1t may be used for business pur-
poses entirely. The day will come
when automobiles will be used for
business purposes to the exclusion Of
the horse-drawn vehicle, except where
1t II impossible to utilize the latter.
Taxing the development of COM
paratively new invention, and delay
ing that development. is an unwise
policy Of which the United States
should not be guilty. Such Develop
ment il rather to be encouraged. /
Where there is any question about
the good done by the use Of = certain
article; where there Is proof that the
use of such article or commodity II
ment of man or where it's use delays
harmful or tends to retard develop
prosress-in such cases there may BE-
no complaint against a tax In condi-
tons such as face the country today
Z But the proposed tax upon automo-
biles would seem to be unwise.

PUBLIC JTTNEY MEETING.

I If Alderman Paonessa's plan to
hold a public meeting for the pur-
bose Of showing New Britain. peo-
pies attitude on the jitney-tr trolley
question is carried out, it should be
largely attended.
The large attendance. in such case
ought to be made use of for the
purpose Of furnishing evidence to the
Public Utilities Commission in order
that an appeal taken from the decis-
ion Of that commission, II adverse to
the wishes OF the people, might be
backed by documentary proof.
There should be many petition.

at tho hands Of the commission
should sign such petitions or declara

troduced in evidence before the com

IF this were true 1t would seem
the governments of England and Am

in feeding the starving Of Russia,
thereby making them better able to
fight and giving them moro energy
TO devote to their radical plans.
Does there remain class Of people
who will swallow such propaganda as
this?
And 1t should be remembered that
Lenin and TTotzky. calling for aid

A STRANGE PLEA.

Yesterday in = local court . man
Is said to have confessed to taking
two knives from desk in . local fac
tory. Fro1-. the evidence reported It
seems he was quite properly SEN
fenced to Jail for the offense. II he
took the knives, as he Is reported to
have confessed he did. he stole
them, assuming that he intended to
keep them for his own personal use.
There is no Intention here to ex-
cuse the ofrense. Comment Is made
only because Of the strange plea he
made, and the coming to light Of
what Is reported to be a general prac-
tice among some employees in factor
les.
Nor is there intended to be any
suggestion that most factory employees
are not az honest and clear sighted
as other men. But probably they are
aware OF the facts.
The strange plea Of the convicted
man was that he did not know he was
stealing, and that he did not expect
to be arrested for taking the knives.
1t seems that in some factories
certain employees have been in the
habit OF taxing various things away
with them and making use of them,
apparently without thought that they
were doing wrong. 1t Is further
said by a man who knows Of his own
personal knowledge, that various tools
were borrowed" from . factory
where he worked. never to be re-
! turned.
These habits. II indeed they are o,
