TRAGEDY ON THE BORDER

Coast guardsmen along the Mag ara river are free with their guns. Nothing. not even a conscience, holds them back when once the in Centivc to engage in target practice starts. It is to be freely admitted that there is smuggling of liquor and narcotics along the border, and that it is the business of the coast Cuardsmen to prevent as much Of it as possible. But it would be bcttcr in the minds of many cit iZonS, ii they were less inclindc to shoot first and be acquitted by the federal court procedure afterwards,
 The latest tragedy occurring along the border could have been prevent cd by the rilot of the craft in which the murdered victim was travelling The order was to stop, but the boat didn't obey the order. When the boat finally was captured" and searched no liquor or narcotics was found in it.
 Sure arc the fact. What followed is less hard to explain. The federal authorities took complete charge of the case, and did not even permit the Buffalo police to obtain the names of the guardsmen for the public records. Of course, under such circumstances, the arrest Of the suardsmcn on even formal charge; was made difficult.
 The prohibition unit wishes state to cooperate" with it in the sup prcssion of the liquor traffic. II such case as this, however, there i no resemblance 10 even cooperating

WELCOME MIR. RIBIO

Mr. Hoover while a president elect, was received in Latin-Amer- ican republics with much cclat; and the government of Mexico, among others, did him quite as much honor as if he had already been inaugurated.
 Consequently President Elect Pas cuai Ortez Rubio of Mexico. who happens 10 be visiting in the American capital, is similarly honored.
 What it all means, at least in part. is that the era of good will between the United States and Mex leo has arrived. It began with the presence of Mir. Morrow in Mex ico. as a financial adviser and am- bassador. It has been growing better ever since.
 This satisfies everyone in both the United States and Mexico. Neighbors, above all others, should be friendly. The United States and Canada found that out 10 their profit more than a century ago,

JAIL IN INSTALLNIENTS

Something decidedly, thought provoking has come out of Kansas in the case of the judge who told a third time traffic violator that he would have to spend 4 1-2 hours a day in jail for a week. The daily jaunt to the jail not only will ruin the day, but it will be spread over a long period to make it hurt. On the lighter side are the fact that the man can work part of the day and spend the evenings at home with his family. Justice, industry and the family thus are equally well served.
 There is a possibility that the installment plan jail term will spread; it is too good an idea to be confined to Wichita. We know some consistent traffic violators right now well, why bring that up during the merry Christmas holidays?

alive this possibility of an addition al New England line.
 The dream, which once threaten ed to come true, was to construct a connecting line between the New England lines of the Grand Trunk (now the Canadian NationaD and Providence. such a link would have made of Providence the New England seaport of the line. The Rhode Island city was much pleas ed with the prospect.
 The railroad tragedy that took place, however. was that the Cana. dians ceased work on the road at the outbreak Of the World War From Palmer, the terminus of the Vermont Central, which is the Cana dian subsidiary, 10 Providences nothing but a roadbed without rails exists. Millions were spent upon the roadbed and bridge abutments but not a rail was laid
 The ten towns of importanc" along this roadbed want something to be done about it. They probably prefer to see the rails laid; or if that is not accomplished, the use Of the right of way for a good new trunk highway may satisfy their longings.
 There was q time when commer- cial interests in New England spoke highly of the possibilities of this new link to the seaport of proyidcnce All the other New England railroads were going to obtain better com petition. and railroad freight service was expected 10 improve almost automatically. But the ardOr for the | line has perceptibly cooled-eVcry- where except in the towns along the roadbed route. The thing that turn ed the scales in favor of the exist ing railroad lines was better freight service and change in policy toward the public. lnstaed of the executives in New England clamor- ing for a new competitive railroad, the tendency now seems to be to think the present situation is good enough.
 One idea is, however, that the | Palmer Providence line would do no harm. If the Canadians could be assured Of satisfactory returns from such an extension probably they would complete it. That is the main trouble: Tho returns probably would not warrant the outlay.

ROAD BOULENARDS

Alarm is expressed in some cir t cles that the new road boulevards being established in the state will not work. The first link in the Hart ford-Bridgeport boulevard" high way" is being opened it will extend - from the West Hartford line to the Pennington line, and like boulevard systems in the cities, motorists from interseCting highways will have to give those on the main highway the right Of way before trying to cross or enter it.
 It will work out about like this: At intersections where there is not " much traffic from the side roads the difference will be slight; but at intersections where the traffic from r both directions is heavy, the state police will need to be on hand over wcck-cnds 10 regulate it. That Is being done at innumcrable important intersections along the Boston Post road
 Any attempt to turn the state highways into spcedways will defeat itself. On roads where there is 7 heavy traffic there can be little speed, regardless of the boulevard system; on highways where there is little traffic it is scarcely worth while, and certainly will make little difference, whether it is ''hou- levardized" or whether it isn't"
