 Had it not been for the consolida- ton scheme Of the Van schwcring. ems with the Nickel Plate it is nos. slblo that the entire consolidation Issue might have died an unwept death; but the efforts of the Cleye- land brothers have stimulated other railroads to be on the lookout for favorable consultations and has en- listed the sympathetic attention of the President.

AN UNTIAfELY END AND SORRY LOSS.

The presence of tracks in part Of the highway an onrushing trolley car, and large motor truck not clear of the tracks, formed the background for the tragic death of Edward T. Darlington, publisher of the New Haven Journal Courier, and 8 companion, Robert B. Butler in New Hampshire, yesterday. Both men happened to be careful mo- torists who were in their machine close by when the collision of the other vehicles occurred.
 Connecticut's press, through the death of MT, Darlington, lost one of Its most virile opponents. A man of high character, and honored by the confidence of fellow citizens Mr. Carrington's influence was statewide. Connecticut Journalism could i'll af- ford to lose such an illustrious ex- ponent of the craft,

Senator Butler of Massachusetts is said to be in delicate position" with regard to wage troubles in the textile industry. The senator is one of the largest individual textile mill owners in New England. and will stand for no wage reductions in his plants while he is in politics, ir- respective of what the others do. The senator, by his action, doubtless reflects the attitude of the adminis- tration. President Coolidge is said to have been quite irritatcd at the goings on in the textile industry. Senator Butler evidently prefers to incur a large wage bill rather than risk disagreement with the Presi- dent. Being "in politics" is some times more expensive than getting elected.

\ TALE OF TWO TROLLEY LINES

All trolley lines are not the same, Some of them actually still make money. But we find that those which are in this category usually are com paratively small and independent lines which were not gobble1 up dur ing the period of attempted trustif- cation. Perhaps they have nothing but actual operating expenses to meet, and are not loaled down with inflated bond issues or the other concomitants of big business.
 This rumination is caused by glimpsinE a statement by the super intcndent of the Groton G Stoning- ton Traction O., which operates in southeastern Connecticut. Rumors hal been current that the line would suspend operations shortly, Follow ing which the superintendent was quoted in the Westerly Sun:
 "Thc Groton and Stonington
 Traction company Is in better
 hnanciql condition now than for
 several years past. Instead Of
 dtsb1ndiug or abandoning our
 line. we expect 10 have new cars
 on the rails before Christmas.
 There is no truth 10 the report
 hat n1' plan 10 shut down in
 the early tajI'

Julius Caesar

N"toat
 By Dorothy Jean Buhl The smartest man this old world
 ever knew Was Julius Caesar. He's the fellow Was sent to check up Cleopatras S
 Game, And when he set his eyes upon that He sent to Rome a message that will
 be A model ever more for brevity. T came, eaw l conquered" so it read, And every senator remarked, "Nuff
 sed." But Brutus said, That Message
 sounds to me Like bushwah. l will wager 1t is
 she Who's conquered him, for he's
 ladies' man. So that is how this famous fcud
 began; For Saesar heard that Brutus made
 that crack When with his Cleopatra he came
 back; Whercupon he said, "Is zat so? Let
 him try To see if he can get the lady's eye." A challenge clear as that must needs
 be met, So Brutus did his level best to get The queen from Caesar, but she
 wouldn't leave. Then Brutus swore, wen make of
 him a sieve!" They did But Julius was a sport
 clear through, For with the second stab he yelled

 speak, Committed suicide within a week. 10 spirit land she waited her gay

INTERSTATE ROADS AND
 MOTORISTS

In the near future it will be pos- slble for a motorist to travel across the boundary line of a state and not forced to wonder what particular road he is travelling on, considering that the signs all seem to be different than along the road he just left in the other state, And when he looks up the matter upon the state map he will not be forced to wonder why numbers of roads--such as are mum bered-their names ands every thing in connection with them gen. orally have to be changed just as soon as the state line is crossed.
 After much agitation in motoring circles somblance or order is to be brought out of the road chaos and by the time the joint board of the interstate highways get through with the road maps all important interstate roads will be numbered and marked uniformly. The job threatens to be done so well that. nothing but a blind motorist in the future will run a chance of losing his way or making unneces- sary detours,
 The scheme Was 3 long time com ing. And it also yields a sidolight upon the extent to which longdis tance motor travel contributes to the happiness of the nation, es- pectally in connection with Naca- lions,

COUNTY DETECTIVES AND SALARY BOOSTS

If the county detectives are kept under the control of the states at- torneys, as is desired by the latter and opposed by the state police commissioners, they may get an in- crease of $500 year in saary-at least some Of the states attorneys have made this recommendation to the governor
 The recommendation for salary boost comes at q time when the governor is to decide whether the county detectives are 10 be members of the state police or retain their present status of being responsible only to the states attorneys.
 So far as can be determined. there has been no recommendation for a salary increase for the county detectives should they be switched to the aegIs Of the state police force, One need not have attended a term al 8 guessing school to determine which side Of the controversy is taken by the county detectives, at least those in the state who face salary increase should the governor abandon hls present plans and keep them under the wing of the states attorneys.
 The governor IS b,jns credited with the plan 10 change inc al- legianca ot tho county detectives; but whether he originally ins'ieatcd the scheme is susceptible of r"ason- able doubt That he tayors l, how ever IS not doubted and it is rather unlikely that he will change his views after fhc next conference shont Il. which Is to talk, place on Monday, I'm LssIe3ltuu., by throw Ing the mrt.r uto Inc lap of tn" . governor. is brunNod hy politicians to have .71c 20 under the appre- hanylon Ii. would Go through with . the plane to "soorltnatc" inc state police for,o anJ Dr. county dctcc- tres. and a, fl, ~.mo uue divorce . the pleasant I,0ut,oos he'Nccn the . county lotcnI,.s md th. states at- tornrys.
