CHILDREN IN DANGER

Hundreds of children, all over this city, are in constant danger at this minute. The terrible part of it seems to he that those because of whom they may be killed or maimed are helpless 10 protect them from this danger. And those who could remove this menace. and the children them selves who could protect themselves. are apparently indifferent.
 In effect the situation is this. All over the city parents of children are practically putting the lives of their own into the safekceping of any driver of an automobile who may pass, And the children are saying. by their actions to every stranger. Take care Of me-" And the stranger is utterly unable to do so.
 The strangers are drivers Of auto mobiles, Either they must refrain from driving al all, or else, no matter how much care they take, they arc in a position. almost every minute, to run down and kill small children ap- bearing suddenly, coming swiftly, di- roctly in front of the wheels Of the automobile.
 The situation is appalling. A driver reaches a corner and this is especially true at night--and may even slow his car down to five miles an hour, but h. must make that turn, lle goes into second speed, in order to be sure that h. will drive slowly
 And then, gliding swiftly down the road. coming from a hidden hill. ap- noars 8 long bobsled carrying q pre- cions freight of half dozen little cnes. Perhaps the sled oscaps the front Wbrols or the car by inches But per hans il crashes into that slowly nov. ing vehicle and young lives are crush cI out; young limbs broken.
 Arc there no words strong enough tu make the plea Of the anxious driver of an automobile. doing perhaps nec- essary driving. heard by tho parents of children Win not those parents exert themselves to prevent their little ones from so cniaHgcring their lives?
 And the sad feature Of the situation is that every man and woman, drivers or cars or not. loves to think or the pleasure the children have in coast ing. They want them 10 have this pleasure. but they want them 10 coast in places where it is safe to do so--in places where care on the part Of driv- CTS or cars will enable such motorists to keep from hurting these children st play.

SEATS 1T THE MOVIES

All things considered the managers CT the movie houses in this city make g remarkably good job Of il. Their dihiculties are many and considerable fact is necessary in their handling Of fhe crowds that throrg them. \ com munication in Saturdays Herald. however. calls attention 10 8 matter that has annoyed movie patrons to a great extent. namely that Of finding apparently empty seats being held for friends. No one theater manager could vel take action to correct this matter alone. The managers should CO., operate. in order 10 make movie pa- irons realize that the same rules will obtain in all the houses.
 One recognizes the fact that some who would go to the movies on a cer- tain evening are detained by their work and can not go early to get their seats. It Is tlle habit. in many cases. io ask a friend who is able 10 get ttere carly. 10 hold seats for them until their work is over and they can find an evenings pleasure at the thea fer. Il would 5e unfortunate for these ptopis if inc managers adopted the rals that seats should not be hsld un- u their arrival
 But r is equally true that often others make a point or going carly 10 se some special picture--0ftea they ars not regular patrons of the thea ter-and it does annoy them deeiIelly and tend to make them 5enouHea tte movies. when they find that practical 1v all of the good seats in the house gre being Ahela." First come first served" is a good general policy. and nerbsps the managers of the different theaters will bs able to find a way 10 .rsxept the abuse of saving seats" ,au so objectionable.

and which stamps Him with a court record, when, in fact he or,. absolutely nothing wrong viewed from I.cral, or ethical standpoint. The condi- ton cannot be allowed to exist in this state where a stranger to if. ignorant of the character Of some Of it's res taurants. places himself in danger of arrest and conviction of wrong merely because he stops at a restaurant or an inn or hotel to get q meal. The people of Connecticut do not want the state to get reputation of having a hidden trap waiting to spring and hold an innocent visitor who desires to appease his appetite for food as he travels through this country.

REMEMBER HEREIN

Il is a commonplace to say that Americans are happy-go-luclsy; head less of lessons taught by disaster; careless of growing menace until need for drastic action comes. An- other. appalling result Of this tendcn- cv has come to remind Of those char acteristics.
 The horror Of Herrin filled the columns of the newspapers when, not long ago. men were slaughtered there and no one was punished. The peo- ple outside Of Williamson county were stirred. deeply stirred-and then, af- fer little. they forgot. But the pco- ple Of Williamson county did not for gct. The lawIcss element remember cd. not that terrible crime had been committed there-not that They re- rnembercd that what had been done had brought no punishment for the guilty This was the thing they re- mcmbered. and there came the con- vietion 10 their minds that they could do about as they pleased. Crime there might cause a great wave Of indignation, but the wave would sub- side as that one had subsided. and the people would forget. while the guilty would go about their business. plan ming more lawlessncss
 Today there Is more horror in Her rim. Tire place is under ''marti8l rule." The surface quiet is pronounced 10 bc sr1y superficial. Underneath in men's aearts thcre IS anger. turmoil An- other outbreak may coure at any propitious minutes. More tragedy, And th- criminals will believe that uer crimes. too. viii remain unpun- shed. History Of the past will be his- tsrv in The future. The happenings Of yesterday were all but forgotten. The happenings of tomorrow will. next week be forgotten. too. So reason the lswjsss. And the tragedy Of II is that they reason soundiy.

\ CASE IN POINT

Emphasizing the fact that no ad- verse criticism Of any judicial decision is here intended. it may be said that the danger Of injustice resulting from tho law regarding "frequenters' has now come up as predicted by the Her aid some weeks ago. The law must be altered 10 meet existing conditions. in order to prevent innocent persons from being technically guilty under the law
 Two Hartford High school teachers have been found technically guilty Of being "frequcnters" of a place where liquor was kept with intent to seii, although it does not appear that they had any knowledge Of the fact there was liquor on the premises. The place in which they we're found was cof- feehouse, and t is to bc presumed that their only intention in being there was to get something 10 eat and some coffee to drink. II IS not illegal to enter a restaurant 10 get 2 cup Of eoffee-unless, eten the fact being unknovn to the person desiring the coffee. liquor happens 10 Do found tn the place, even iu the cellar as in the case in point.
 Morally not guilty. said the judge in this case. but inc ruling was. fol- towing recent prsciIent that whether or not a person has any kuowledg" that the place he ent.rs is one in which a violation Of tho law is taking place hs is technically guilty under the law. Moreover nc Is taxed the defendants costs. TO nlattar hou innocent he is- In tIse case raferr.I 10 tIle defendants were not in a position to take an ap- peal. to wipe the stigma Of ''guilty" from their records. The court . piainsd that as the case was noiie3 they had no grounds oT appeal
 of course such situation can not be alioSed to continue. So person ] who believes that innocent people shoaid mol be punished for the law violations of othrrz ain opposa a modification sr this 5aH ubich holds any persyn sgiity Of violating the is7s.
