WHAT THE LAW INTENDS

As usual, when a law is passed, somebody must interpret it. Now We have before US the new state law apportaining to overlooking trucks, and after due argument before him Judge Sake of New Britain is Of the opinion that the law does not in tend to hold truck owners responsi- hlo for overlooking if they are un- aware of such overlooking, and such a breach of the law was committed without intent upon their part.
 That is the judges opinion; some other Connecticut judge may have another opinion. Prosecutor Woods of New Britain certainly does not share the opinion of Judge Saxe: and perhaps there are other lawyers who likewise differ with the judge or among themselves.
 Our own opinion is that it is a poor truck owner who doesn't know that the men under him are break ing the law. 1T the owner takes enough interest in his business to post q rule that trucks must not be overloaded he would classify as a careful, law-ablding business man. If he fails 10 make such a rule it seems 10 US evidence he is willing lo scc the law broken if his men can get away with it.

The Universalist Sunday school convention, which got under way in Hartford, appears to believe in q campaign of education as regards the us" of tobacco. Instead of ad- vocating constitutional amend ment and some Nolstcadian enforce ment act having as it's object the outlaNry of tobacco, il works on q more rational plan. It's idea is to teach the young regarding th" ne- farious nature of tobacco; then if the young. as they grow to maturi- ty don't know any better than to harm themselves through the use of nicotine it isn't the fault of the Sunday school.
 The Universalists are 10 be high ly commended for feeling disposed
 to grapple wi;h the tobacco situa-
 ton in this enlightened manner. : Education is always preferable 10 sumptuary legislation. In the long run. if the educators are numerous
 enough, the result will be satisfac- 1 tory to all concerned.
 Considering the fact that th" uss | of tobacco has been greatly incroas- | ing, especially the use of cigarets 1 it would seem that education along ! this line so far has not tcen very ! effective. Perhaps the first go years ! will be the most difficult.
