EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN

The lad who was killed by an automobile while he was crossing a street in front Of it doubtless had made a good start in his school studies; he may have been a bright little boy. But one thing was not sufficiently impressed upon his mind fear Of the open road. a terror against crossing it until certain and sure that no reasonable danger of disaster lurked nearby.
 This education nowadays must come first in the life Of every child There cannot be too much Of it and it cannot commence too early.
 IL is an education that needs to be emphasized in the schools as well as at home. Particularly is ii needful to imprint upon the growing mind that passing from the rear Of q parked car without looking care fully is the most dangerous thing we have to contend with in our modern iife--reckless driving alone excepted.
 Nothing is more distressing to the Thoughtful mind than 10 read Of q child or a yout'. an Innocent bud, perhaps Of great promise and hav- ing the gifts Of great talent, being snuf'cd out of existence by a few false steps guided by thoughrless- ness.
 The young need an education Of and caution beginning with the days when they start toddIins around the ncighborhood. They need d wholesome fear forced into them by parents and guardians a fear that will save lives.

LET Us PLANT TREES, THE CIIYS DUTY

Alderman David Nair's resolution Tor the Common Council, having as its object the planting O. trees by th. city to make up for those cut flown in the ruthless campaign to widen streets, is in entire conform ity with the sentiments expressed in these columns recently and should be acceptable to the city fathers; not because this newspaper made the suggestion in the first place. but because the plan is in conformity with public interests and will meet with whispered public approval.
 The city cannot permit the whole sale desccration of it's beautiful trees without making adequate recompense for the planting Of new trees 10 take the places Of those hewei down. Any other method is unthinkable in a civilized commun- ity. The trees in New Britain were generations In growing: part of a days work can eliminate what it required years to produce. To eliminate trees in the manner that has been taking place without mak- ing provision for growing others in .heir places is as wrong as any thing can be. The Herald is deeply sratified at the manner in which the justice Of it's plea has been re ceived in civic circles; the resolution that new trees be planted to take he places Of those that were but now are not should so over in the Council without a dissenting vote.
 Without a vcritable forest of trees this manufacturing city would Je terrible place in which to live: Fl truth, 1t is doubtful whether II could be place for human beings. The air would be polluted with smoke. fumes and what not. It is the trees which prevent this dol o-ous possibility by purifying the air. function that nature has giv- en them to perform. These patient 'entinels along the highways work day and night, making life liyeable c citizens in a very practical way. st the same time enhancing the Jeauty 0, the city. preventing that Irab condition which a treeless city invariably permits.
 The cost of planting trees is iu- significant: their value 10 the city is enormous. The Common Council can do nothing this year that will be Of more importance to the well fare Of the city in the future than 10 go through with the plan to pro- vide new trees for the large number which have been eliminated by that which We are pleased 10 term the march Of progress" Instead Of marching forward. however, the ruthless elimination Of trees is marching backward.

 This is all a part Of life Back m the cave days. when some irritated cave dWgller went 10 another cave and there was disco, cred making advances to another cave dwellers' wife. and there was a great ruction Tn the cave settlement and somebody was murdered, don't think for d moment that the community os cave dw,llers We're no. interested, They stood around in knots and vowed to the gods that something vould have to be done about II. and the tribal chiefs Of necessity had to hear the evidence and decide whether the slayer who used the butt end of big bone was entitled to lenieucy or death. Stories about the affair filtered 10 other cave settlements and in due course everybody in every cave for no miles around knew all about the distressing tragedy They saw TO evil in knowing al. about it either; the onig evil in sight was whether the guiIty bo0e-s&inser was to die or be baajshcd to 'he untonder mercies Of a neishborire race look ing for tender meat 70 eat.
 Fundamentally wc have not changed enormously since the cave days; in truth. those who pass as experts in such things tell us that many Of the cayomen characteris- tics arc still firmly Implanted in the human anatomy. The primal emo tions or loNo, hate, jealousy, envy. anger, revenge. are still part Of our makeup. although veneer O civilization has quite softened them except in emergencies.
 There is this difference, too: whereas the cayemon Were moro in- clined 10 agree as 10 what was to be done after tragedy, We don't seem able to agree about the modus operandi--at least not in hurry: We put on a first class show first, in the nature of trial as long drawn out as possible; somebody pays learned legal talent 10 deliver tonnes Of intricate discourse. re- ferring with unctuous intonations to precedents and past performances in the courts; wiseacre medical men shake tipped boards as they seek to befuddle the jury; telegraph wires running into the place are fed by quickthinkng journalists whose business it is to keep the cayemen in the other communities informed Of the momcntous event.
 This picture is by no means com- plete: yet il ought 10 be enough to prove to us the why and the where fore Of the popularity of a murder trial as is one. Unless all the pre- hminaries are grossly dcceiying such show is about at hand.

the prices are arlificiany raised through an artificial shortage creat- el in this manner. Spohcsmen for the bill assert if more government money is needed more wifi be forth coming under tla bill
 The plan will be somewhat sim liar 10 that which has held forth in inc tobacco growing industry in Connecticut, where warehouses have been filled with tobacco. But the result has not been as Was antici- pccd; the prices haven't gone up m proportion.
 IL might ho coun,ered that there Is a difference; that the kind Of to- bacco the Connecticut growers have in storage is not exactly needed in the making Of cigarots. and that even some types of popular cigars get along without it. not to mention smoking tobacco. But we must eat, and f the farmers succeed in hold ing back crops on the public, with money furnished by the government, it will make a considerable dent in the happiness Of the people who necd the crops for food.
 l. certainly will; but these peo- ple live mostly in the east, in New England too, and ,heyn vote for 'ho administration anyhow
 The Cooldgc-Fcss compromise bin will be q perfect example Of 2 sugar-coated farm aid bill. just as objectionable in many respects as the McNary- -Hausen measure. It will not contain the equalization fee, bn. will contain about every thing else. There is no guarantee that the money tonder"d by the government will ever be paid back. in which case it will be a pure gift having as its purpose the goug- ing Of one section of the population for the benefit of anothor-some- thing, by the way. which is not en- tircly unknown in governmental, practice.
 An election is an election, and nothing else but. Something must be done 10 allay the anger in the west. where many convention delegates abide and where votes must be conserved. If anybody wants addi- tional evidence that the President has his eye upon the 1928 nomina- tion nothing more need be proffered than his desire 10 placate the farm CTS after his past vetoing of farm legislation. Even the hurried dec laration of the Republican national committee that Coolidge Is the log ical candidate for another term, that the next term will not actually be q third term" and that the "peo- pic want him." has quite as much force as the self-evident desire to prepare the western vineyard for the 1928 harvest.
 The western plowmen have been fooled so often however. that one cannot help wondering whether they are prepared 10 be fooled again.

SAVING THE. RIVER

The Legislature has headed into the right direction in connection with the governors original plan 10 form a commission with authority to deal with Massachusetts in con nection with the diversion of water from the Swift and Ware rivers in that state. which will seriously harm the Connecticut river. Fortunately. somebody lost control of the situa- ton, IS the governor has been un- able to imprint his idea upon tho collective cranums of the lcgisa- tors. The assembly. it is said is frowniug upon the attempt to create q new commission, claiming it would mean an expenditure of more salaries.
 IL is seldom that the plum gath 'rers arc particular about such matter. Thus. in spite of the fact hat tho Connecticut river will be lowered when the Swift and Ware rivers are diverted for the benefit Of tho metropolitan water district of Boston, it is entirely likely that the Legislature merely will give the governor and attoruey-grncral au- 'horlty 10 take whatever action they see tlt in the premises.
 Conserving the Connecticut river is legislative duty, but if no agree mcnt can be reached with 'he Bay state the only way 10 fight the plan will be in the federal courts. It is an axiom Of common law that no proprietor of land can change the course of 3 stream flowing through it. to the dctrlmcut Of other land through which the stream flows. The contemplated diversion of water in Massachusetts embOdics the same principle, only on a larger scale. anI with the states instead of individuals as the contestants. If the governor and the attorney general gre given the power to proceed with their opposition 10 the Massachusetts plan they should at thu same time he granted full power 70 enter tho courts with he best Of legal talent, regardless of the costs, Ultimately this mattor will hav" 10 he settled in the federal courts and The state may as we'll b" prepared 10 spend money In the effort 10 save the Connecticut river 10 the people and the industries o' thc state.
