NEM dERsEY.s ExAMrLE.

Results that net only serve to diseeur age the committing of crime but which satisfy the demand for justice when crime has been committed come through the early presentation before the bar of justice of the accused once he has been arrested. That is policy which has been inaueuratsd in certain states and with good Judgment. It appeases the cry of those who insist upon the application of the penalty and cools off those who are for taking the punishment into their own hands regardless of respect for the law
 New Jersey was incensed and with good reason at the brutal murder of a young woman at Perth Amboy, almost at her very doorstep. by Aend who had been crazed by drink. It was a matter of only a short time before the guilty party was arrested and not only did the evidence point conclusively in his direc- tion but he admitted the crime. There are states in which there would have been insistenee upon immediate execution. New Jersey guarded against any such display of sentiment but it does not disregard the proper demand that days and weeks and nonths should not be allowed to so by without disposition of the case
 There is a recognition of the law and a disposition to respect it. At the same time there is realized on the part of the authorities that the crime and the public indignation call for the elimination of all delay, and the result is that the machin- cry of the law is already at work so that the indictment of the confessed murderer will be secured this week and 1t Is ez- pected that the case will be heard and sentence imposed the first of next week. By such attention to the carrying out of the law the rights of the accused will be respected in every way. It will not be a case of lynehing him and trying him afterward. He will not be denied his rights under the law but there will be avoided those long delays which tend to exasperate, and this is net the first in- stance where New Jersey has responded to the demand for quick but legal action
 What New Jersey does in this respect might be prohtahly followed by ether states under like conditions

NEGLECTED SHIPS.

Not little has been said in regarding Q the waste and extravaganza that was dund in connection with the activities of he shipping board in providing this country with vessels to meet the cry for Ihips, ships and more ships. It has been lnder fires from many directions and the 'normous outlay finds justification only rom the fact that we faced an emereen- y and as the result of the expenditures re got the ships as quickly as 1t might reasonably have been expected. That here was an regard for economy doesn't Eepear to have been shown. Rather was Here fragrant disregard for it and the nly reason why such conditions could ie tolerated was the speed called for in ;etting ships.
 Bat with war conditions over and dif erent conditions existing so far as the hipping board is concerned a different egard for the business in hand might easonably be expected. Such. however. loes not appear to be the case if we are Q. judge by the survey which has been made of government vessels tied up bout New York and deteriorating.

FoRB1DD1NG DAYLIGHT SAVING.

Whether it is possible for the large ma jority of the people of Connecticut who desire to have daylight saving during the coming summer rests with Governor Ev- erett J. Lake. What he will do with the Dill which has been passed by the general assembly forbidding the use of any other than standard time by the cit ies and towns of the state will therefore be awaited with keen interest.
 It is plain from the manner in which this piece of legislation has been pushed through the legislature without giving hearing thereon or showing any respect Tor what is regarded as the sentiment of the greater number that the interests of The few rather than those of the many Fave received attention. Not only has the general assembly told the people in the cities of the state that there will be no general observance of daylight saving hut they have denied them the opportu- nifty of deciding for themselves whether Il ey will, as community, follow day. light saving or standard time. And this action has been taken in view of the fact that the states of Massachusetts will have daylight saving and the cities and Villages in New York and Rhode Island will decide the matter for themselves
 Because states surrounding us will have daylight saving time the New Ha- ven road will operate its trains in accord herewith, meaning that our railroad ser vice will be according to the daylight saving time whether there is a state law pr not which certainly doesn't relieve the confusion that is complained of.
 Under the prevailing situation, with the greater number of people seeking the benefits of daylight saving and the gen. eral assembly, manifesting its disregard therefor even to the extent of denying local option in the matter Governor Lake will be Justified in applying a veto to the measure. The bill for which 1t was possible to substitute the one passed was regarded as one of the numerous jokes before the legislature and if only because of the manner in which it has been mi through the governor will be justified in 1enyiLg it his endor ,sment

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Question or TWa


 Mir. Editor: May ask the person who wrote The Bulletin from Jewett City. signing the letter "A Reader" question or two?
 Wherein do we defy the law of God by working or 'playins on Sunday? Which day of the week Is the Seventh day? Will Reader" kindly take the Bible and read carefully the fourth commando ment, then look at the calendar for proof that the Sabbath. does not come on Sunday.
 I do not believe that Reader" wants a law compelling us to keep Saturday holy. the writer has no such desire. To avoid error and confusion take the work of God, only; when we do this we will love our neighhsI vur sen and not ask for law to exile him to some barren island.

gard to school taxes and assessments.
