ONE REFORM THAT IS BADLY NEEDED.

The Herald yesterday punIlfh'd Chapter 2S7 ot tho public acts Of 1921, relating to tao rights Of 'rol- ley companies 10 establish bus lines, This law was written before cross word puzzles became popular, but in spite Of the kccnnoss that has been developed in the minds Of nearly everyone since these puzzles became as important as daily brea1, here Is puzzle that any o' the fabed "Philadelphta lawyers might tackle with ayidjty; and the chances are that i, three did it, two of them would disagree as 10 the meaning Of this particular law pug xle and the third would remain neu- tral.
 1t Is small wonder that the claims Of the trolley companies and those others who are not so vi,alIy inter- sstcd do not agree as 10 the mean ing of the law; and itis small Won- der that another law is needed to "clarify" the one of 1921.
 Our lawmakers have a habit of passing laws the effect of which they do not thoroughly understand. Many of them are written by law yers interested in one side of case and these take exceeding care to leave vague spots in it, Or word phrases in such a manner as to lay them open to various interpretations.
 That is why the upper courts are so often called upon to interpret laws that in the first place ought to be couchcd in such simple and direct language that there would be nc doubt as to their meaning.

FALLING STOCKS AND LOWER GRAINS.

Thvr. arc unpleasant things in '1e world, onI ono or them just now is ,h" drop In up prices of stocks.
 Tho stock market loom of last NoN.mbor was l uuc thing; the rise m tm prices oI grains last fall like wise Was fine 'bmg; hut ninc things Ion'r always stay such,
 Tho stock boom of M,l No'rmhor was taken to reflect the confidence in the future Of stock buyers, deal- .rs and coEuosconu generally. The future was nothing but beautifully bright, Indeed, with the pronounced triumph of the administration al the elections, there was q wild scrim- mage to cash in on near-futurc boom, which was regarded as sure to follow upon the wings of the great victory at the polls.
 Just how reliable the stock mar ket Is as a barometer of trade has again been indicated, The guess was all wrong. Instead of q quick boom there has been just ordinary fairly good times. This Of course is disap- pointing to the folk who thought the right kind of politics" would be the lever 10 lift the boom into view, but the cold facts are that it has been impossible to create a boom by merely lacking up the price of sc- curities and staging an optimistic party, The bears now have a chance to stage their own party, by bearing down on the lemon squoczers.
 Something similar happened in connection with high grain prices. They were high after a majority Of the farmers had disposed of their surplus crops from last year: but the nearer the summer the lower the price of wheat. By the time the wheat harvest rolls around William Allen White and his farmer con- stituoncy out in Kansas will again be lambasting the pcrnicious influence of Wall street, the dealers in futures, the bears, the manipulators in the grain pits, and all the rest of the timc-worn skeletons. AS usual, sup ply and demand probably will be overlooked,
 The facts arc that because Of un- warranted optimism in the needs Of the straitened food marts in Europe, the price of grain was induced to go up so high in this country that it wac just high enough to hurt sales abroad. When Russia got in the market for shiploads Of the cereal she bought in Winnipeg instead ot Chicago, saving considerable money in the purchase price. The grair people have been uneasy ever since
 The other day the Department ot Agriculture was called upon 10 tol
 the embattled farmers why The prices have fallen. Secretary of Ag
 riculture Jardinc, as much at sea fl the matter as anyone, directed tho

EFFORT TO LEGALIZE SUNDAY SPORTS.

The bill to IegaHze baseball or other outdoor amusemcnts in Con- nccticut on Sunday attempts to con- form theory with practice; for out door amusemcnts on Sunday to which admissions are charged, are common in the summer in many sections Of the state, particularly the cities
 In other words, the present law making such Sunday games illegal is not enforced; and there IS reason 10 believe that most of the people where 1t is not enforced do not want the law enforced.
 Modern conditions are such that A large percentage of the population, occupied in the mills and factories throughout the week days, believe Sunday afternoon a good time for following such games. either as players or spectators, The law is not enforced because of the incidental .unpopularity Of such attempts in cities where sentiment desires Sun day sports, and where a large ele- ment of the population can see no difference between paying to See an outdoor game on Sunday and going to a moving picture show.
 - The plan to logalize Sunday sport throughout the state offonds those who can SIC no harm in au- tomobi]e pleasure rlIiae on Sunday but dislike any other type of plea sure on that day. including moving picture shows.
 UnIor tho present syst'm such communities which contain pre- ponderating sentiment in favor or the law enforce it; those where the sentiment is in favor of Sunday sports do not enforce it, but permit the sports. The result is that those cities or towns which do not desire Sunday sports get along without them, while those cities or towns where sentiment fayors them yield iacit permission.
 The facts arc tha, in rgard to this law the dcsirrs of Ihr smaller towns sccil 10 come into confic' with most Of Inc o.'ies. Mos os rh, small towns probably dislike spor'a on Sunday, and as they ha," ma jority Of representatives in ta. Legislature, it is sought to iupr"s: their will upon thy larger places. | representation in the Legislature were upon a basis oi actual popI Iation there would be no such law
 Thus the conflict between smal towns and the larger towns agaiI raises is head. If the law per nitted a species of local option 1T such matter, permitting sucl towns as desired Sunday sport L, have it and those that did not '' enforce local laws agalp=E h, the sit
