THE HABTTUAL CRIMINAL

On the day when the New York Court of Appeals held the celebrated Baumes law constitutional-to wit, yesterday-Judge Wolfe in the Bridgeport Criminal Superior court had before him a man from New York whom he sentenced from four 10 30 years in the penitentiary under the Connecticut habitual criminal act.
 All four offenses listed against the man were felonies. although not all occurred in this state. Judge Wolfe was entirely justified in con- cluding that the fellow gave every evidence of being a habitual crimin- al and was entitled to a long sen- tence in accordance with the Con- necticut statute.
 From -four to 30 years" however, may not mean that the habitual criminal will spend a larger term in the pen. In truth, following the usual precedent. it will be quite like ly that his actual term will be near CT the four years than the 30.
 Under the Baumes law such menace to society would have been taken care of for life. Small wonder that the habitual criminals in New York are fleeing the state to more inviting pastures. Observers say that it may become necessary for the other states, out of elf-protection, to enact similar laws. In Connecti- cut the habitual criminal law is held up as a fit substitute; but here we have a fit comparison. There is a difference between what this Bridge port criminal drew in the way of a sentence and what he would have received in his native state of New York.

on it's launches, fighting the good fight of states rights, with all the ether states rights proponents in the Senate conspicuously silent about it. Construction of the Boulder Canyon dam would benefit the en- tire Southwest. Arizona admits this. but thinks Arizona should get the benefits. What is the use of having enormous power and irrigation pos abilities in the state if the other states nearby are 10 share in the good fortune. That in effect is how Senator Cameron reasons.
 The construction of the dam would make possible the flooding of l6,000,0o0 acres of desert land. but this land is situated mostly in the, Imperial valley in southern Califor- mia. Arizona is not interested in ir- rigating California land. It is not
  interested in furnishing an uninter- rupted water supply for Los Ange- les; it is not interested in providing a huge power reservoir for its neighbor.
 But Arizona itself would not. possibly could not, build the dam or flood the land or provide the pow CT. This is to be done by the U. S government. At this point the con- tention of Arizona grows weak.

WIDENING STANLEY ST. ELIMINATE, THE POLES.

Widening of Stanley street would be simple project were 1t not for the fact the plan of the board of public works apparently hinges upon the idea that the telephone and electric companies must have room for their poles along the street.
 The proper way to widen the street, a plan which probably will be favored oy the property owners, is to eliminate the grassed portion of the street, between the curb and the sidewalk. This would not subtract land, between the sidewalk and the building line from the property own- CTS, and would satisfy everybody.
 works and the utility interests.
 The board of works plan is to re- tain a grass section between the new curb and the sidewalk; it would en- tail moving the sidewalk toward the building line. The idea evidently is that this grass plot between the curb and the sidewalks should remain so that the utility companies can have room upon which to plant their poles.
 The utility companies could put their wires into subway-which of course would cost the city additional money-or put their poles along the rear of the building lots, as is done in many other sections of the city.
 It is mistake to think the pro- perty owners favor the plan Of the board of public works. At all hear ings they were present in numbers and to man opposed the present plan of widening and its levying Of assc ssments. The plan calls for the reduction of property between the sidewalk and the building line and the assessment of 'benefts' for the privilege of having this done. The property owners can scarcely be blamed for seeing no possible bene- fits to themselves under the plan.
 If would be good thing for Stan- ley street, possibly quite as much an improvement and benefit" as wid- ening the street, if the city took ad- vantage of the opportunity to eliminate the unsightly poles and wires.
