Student Workers

Some weeks ago the Harvard Crimson

that students who are working their way
through college should be barred, It wasn't

door OF education 10 those who couldn't pay
for their tuition. board, and room imnc.

dent would have to devote too much time TO
outside pursuits TO permit him TO carry his
courses. They said. The myth tina, any
able bodied man can support himself and at
The same time realize the full advantages OF
college education must be destroyed, and
there is no better way 10 do II than by re-
fusns admission to men who are compelled
to spend SO much time and 10 TO such ends
for themselves that they lose many OF the
essential benefits OF college education "
Of course. there 10 something TO what the
Crimson maintains, but We should hate 10

Dangerous Cars

The National Conference OF Street and
Highway Safety has found that at least one
motor accident out OF six is caused by de-
feetive mechanism in the car itself This
evil has been growing worse lately. because
cars arc operated so much longer than usual
and are not kept up so well There are mil
lions Of autos on the road that can barely
rattle along and hang together.
There is no desire in any quarter to i'm
pose hardship on the owners Of these cars.
II is difficult time to buy new ones and
repairs usually cost money. Yet the serious
risk TO the travelling public. TO pedestrians
and TO owners themselves must be rceog.
nizcd. A, whatever cost, great numbers OF
these old wrecks should be strapped and
greater pains should be taken TO keep tbs
rest in dependable condition.
Some states now have laws providing Tor
a compulsory, periodical inspection, barring
defective cars from the Highways In Penn
sylvania such control has made traffic much
safer In some OF the other states auto
mobile clubs arc demanding similar leglsla'
ton. II would be a good thing everywhere
But no driver should wait for legal COM
pulsion.

Russo.Japanese War

There is growing rumof OF another war
between Russia and japan. The situation
suggests such a conflict. although Russia
would like to complete her naturalization
plan before embarkIng on any such struggle
Russian troops are being masscd in Siberia
near the Manehurian border and war supplies
arc pouring in over the tfans'Sberian Rail-
way for storage at strategic point"
It is evident that the Russian government
has been stirred up by the japanese seizure
Of Manehuris. That country has been a
buffer between the two powers since the war
OF lo04.5. Russia has probably felt oil
along that she would absorb IL some time,
and now Japan has beaten her TO IL. With

FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1882


According 10 the Baltimore Evening Sun
the state OF Watcrbury's finances as COM
pared with those Of the u S. government is
most favorable. In recent issue the Sun
was quoting Senator Tydings on the benc'
fits of a balanced budget The senator had
remarked in Congress that il any sort Of
federal relief program is initiated the gov.
eminent will have to sell bonds. To quote
him directly as did the Sun, he declared that
IF these bonds arc sold with the facts before
the country that the budget is not balanced.
;, they will sell at a lower figure than
they would have sold had the budget been
balanced -.
To explain just what Senator Tydngs
meant by such a statement the Sun reprint.
cd. evidently from financial journal.
Watcrburys advertisement of It's million
dollars worth Of funding bonds Among
other items contained in the article were the
So3.l5 per capita bonded indebtedness OF
our local citizens as compared with that OF
1907 plus, as the Sun points It for the en-.
tire nation. Now that Waterbury has dis.
posed OF these bonds at a good figure we
have wiped out'all our floating loans. That
Is an achievement Of which the local off.
eials are Justly proud, since the city is in
this financial position for the first time in
well over decade.
No wonder that the Baltimore Evening
Sun can say that I'VE explain the Water
bury situation by saying that the mun'ei-
pglhy has obviously been intclligently
governed; bu, TO explain the national
situation by a similar process OF reasoning
would be we'll not polite 1t is too
bid that all Of our citizens arg not OF this
opinion But more arc becoming convinced
OF this fac, as they read about the pfcdea.
n,cnt in which other cities not SO many
niles from Waterbury, find themselves
This ISM such bad city TO live in after
all is said and done. Being human, we are
subject to the same errors that all mankind
makes But il we were perfect what an un'
interesting place 1t would be.
