Sl SlBMARINE SAFETY
 NOT YET COMPLETE,

An article appeared in one of the .iow York Sunday papers recently showing how recent inventions had made submarines safe, even when they were forced to stay under the surface through accident. It only re- mained to be seen whether the in ventions would work under "practi- cal conditions" ran the article.
 The disaster which sank a British submarine after it had collided with another evidently proves the need for such inventions on every under sea boat the world over. Manifestlv, the British diver lacked the appli- ances which have been developed within recent months in the United States. Every nation has been experi- mcnting with ideas of it's own. If ap- pears from experiments conducted recently that the American methods Of life-saving under such conditions are somewhat in advance of others. willingness to save brave men from torture preceding death sug- gests willingness 10 have others benefit by the experiments recently conducted. A submarine disaster is 6such gruesome reading that dictates of humanity impeI us to help all na- tons to eradicate their terro,,.

STATE REGULATION OF TAXI BUSINESS

It surprised no one to learn that the recent Legislature was of the opinion that local municipalities were not capable of regulating the conduct of taxi drivers and the taxi business generally. But in the gen. eral mess of law-making small at tention was awarded the bill which gives to the Public Utility Commis- sion such power of regulation. The law goes into effect on July IS, and from that date on the taxi business of the state is expected to become another Connecticut model for other states to admire-if they only will take the time to do it.
 Already the P. |. c. is said to have issued Y new rules and regu- lations pertaining to the taxi busi- ness, One of the new rules forbids taximen soliciting passengers at rail- road stations or other public places by loud outcry or other obnoxious methods" This, We surmise, is the worst blow against the taxi interests so far inflicted. Railroad stations will never appear the same again if this law is rigidly enforced. Instead of horde of taxi drivers bowling at every passenger the moment he or she leaves the door of the station. there will be no more noise than that incidental to traffic generally or the puffs of the locomotives, or the gut tural intonations of the station at tendants advising waiting passengers of the imminence of the next ex- press on track ,.
 That there are other points about the regulations of the P. L. C., that have an interest to the taxi industry
 
 can scarcely be overlooked. There is the paragraph in the law, for in- stance, which says that the rates charged must be in accordance with those prescribed by the commission, and that rate card must be posted in every cab, We have heard no great verbal outcry by the taxi inter- ests regarding this application of more state government in business so' it is perfectly proper to assuln> that the rates so prescribed hare not gone down. Ones suspicion is arous- ed that they are emnently satis- factory to the taxi interests.
 Off hand one would think that the authorities in New Britain. for in- stance, would be capable of deter mining how the taxi business should be conducted in New Britain. But not according to the ngT state law. New Britain. from the mayor down, will have nothing at all to say about the taxi business in this city, any more than they have a say in regard 10 the trolley and bus business. All this is being looked after by the all-embracing city of Connecticut beg pardon, state of Connecticut.
 Some day the state may take over city incinerators, city water supply storm sewers, the construction and maintenance of schools, and some 1 other things; and then the weather would be all that local politicians have left to argue about This mil lennium may be reached within the lifetime of us all.

SPEAKEASIE IN NAUGATJCK
Local correspondence from Nauga- tuck the other day included the fol-
 lowing Illuminating item:

Naugatuck is simply full of speakeasies and the superintendent of charities should be notified by the board to inform the state police of their existence. declared Pierce Free man, member Of the charities board at the monthly meeting held in Superintendent's office this evening. MT, Freeman. after Mir. Johnsons report had been read, declared that he noticed that most of the cases where Naugatuck waS forced to give someone help was where someone in the family was heavy thinker. This was the effect of the speakeasies and prohibition in general, Mir. Freeman emphatically stated, and they should be shut down. Before prohibition, he said, one who drank on Sunday was considered d disgrace but now it is perfectly all right 10 get in the bag on a Sabbath day He said that he could name at least six speakeasies on South Main street and he had heard that every house in Union City manufactured it's own booze"
 The open saloon, however no longer exists.

THE PROHIBITION ATTACK
 BY DIR. THAYER

The address by Dr. William S. Thayer, of Baltimore, retiring presi- dent of the American Medical Asso- ciation. before 10000 physicians and surgeons at the Portland convention, was a notable contribution to the ten-year- prohibition discussion. Not since the 18th amendment was adopted has there been a more di- al of local and individual liberty by a sterling leader of great profess sion. To judge by the commenda- tion and approval bestowed upon the speaker by his fellow practitioners, there can be no doubt at all where the leading physicians of the country stand on this prohibition question. | They are in position to note at close range just how it works.
 Dr. Thayer's reference to this na-
 tion's "rather sad example of reck- less and incorporate lawmaking" re-
 fers to a difficulty of long standing. There is and always has been an ideal held by fanatical reformers in this country that every ill or
 imagined ill can be cured by appro-
 priate legislation, especially if it is sumptuary legislator. If reformers
 of ths stripe really disliked the jaw
 of gravitation they without hesita-
 ton would organize to brow beat Congress into passing a law doing ! away with the law of gravitation. That may sound foolish, but they
 have done other things just as fool ish.
 When in country like ours" re- 1 marked pr. Thayer, the national government attempts to legislate for
 the whole country as to what we
 may or may not eat or drink, as to | how we may dress. as to our religi-
 ous beliefs or as to what we may or
 may not read-this is to interfere
 with rights which are sacred to every
 English speaking man, This is no longer republican governmental is
 tyranny. In the long run we Eng sh-speaking people will not endure tyranny"
 Ida M Tarbell wrote an article in Liberty magazine which had as it's thesis that civil war was not impos- sible as a result of prohibition. The same week Clarence True Wilson,
 head of a shurch political society, said the army and navy should be | used to enforce prohibition, that first offenders of the sacred law should be sent to jail, and that buy CTS, drinkers and smellers are equally guilty with those who trans port and sell the drink. The Liberty article seemed far-fetched until one
 also noted the article of Dr. Wilson
 in Golfers. This sort of thing cannot
 so on indefinitely. AS Dr, Thayer put
 It, "English-speaking people will not endure tyranny As a matter Of
 history, they never have.
