Time For Action

Chief Justice William M. Maltbie has fired the first gun in what should prove to be successful campaign to improve the iails of Connecticut. In no uncertain terms the chief justice has pointed out their total unfitness to be used for the purpose they serve, namely. detention of men convicted of misdemeanors which do not warrant their being committed to the state prison at Wethersheld For some time past there has been an undercurrent of feeling prevalent in Connecticut that its county jails were not all that they should be. We have heard the criticisms of various commissions ap- pointed to investigate other institutions. We are about to hear the same of our coun- ty jais.
 Hartford has long protested its need of new jail structure where prisoners might be given some occupation to while away their confinements Idle hands make mischief. From all reports the Hartford jail has not even any facilities for permitting prisoners to enjoy outdoor freedom. Whatever rec reation is given them is in an enclosed court Prisoners are often housed two in cell. Of course this may not be as bad as condi- tions in some of our other county Jails. he report of the commission will reveal just how they compare. Offhand we should think that the New Haven county jail might rank among the best of these institutions. although we are not familiar enough with all of them to make any such statement.
 An effort was made last year to make change in Ltchheld We don't recall the exact age of that institution. However, our county jails have long history. Col onel Norris c. Osborn has presented per haps the best history of their origin and growth that we know of. He tells us that it wasn't till about the middle of the 18th century that system of county Jails, as authorized by the Legislature considerably earlier. was established. New London county has two, one at New London, one at Norwich. So has Fairfield county, one at Bridgeport. one at Danbury. In l84l the Legislature gave over charge of county iails to the county commissioners. From time to time various improvements have been made. In few instances a new building was secured.
 Returning again to Litchfeld It IS p4obaby one of the oldest institutions Of its kind and while making presentable appearance from the exterior. it IS With the interior that such men as Chief Justice Maltbie arc concerned. If it was impera- tive that new structure be erected in place of the old jail last year how much more ln1- perative is it that it be done this year? 1t will be, of course. considerable of burden upon the counties to erect modern jail houses in which justice may be dispensed according to up-to-date rules but the time is coming when the state will face more staggering burden than it does now. Bet ter heed the warning of our Chief Justice and build accordingly.

An Institution Moves

We learn from news dispatches that the Seaside Sanitarium at Mantle IS about ready to sing it's swan song Long the center of controversy, that eventually rem dcred invalid some l,500 state laws. the tuberculosis sanitarium for children at Ni- antic will be transferred to Waterford nearby as soon as the new building for which the Legislature has provided IS built
 The State Board of Finance and Control IS expected to approve the plans for the new sanitarum The State Tuberculosis Com scanned them and found them satisfactory.
 It may interest many local people to know that Cass Gilbert was the architect who designed the contemplated structure. It is ''H' shaped The two ends are to be one story, while the section corresponding to the cross bar of the letter will be two stories We presume that the same charac- teristics which were present at Mantle are to be found at Waterford One reason why the state tuberculosis Commission fought SO strenuously to expand on the present site was the advantageous location. It was not believed that another like it could be ob- tained along our shore. ..
 Evidently there was sufficient Sound frontage at Waterford to interest the proper officials in acquiring property suf- ficient unto present needs and offering room for expansion when needed. That was the crux of the argument which necessltated the present removal. The present institu- ton is converted summer hotel which is now so old and rickety that it is no longer a safe place for tubereular children. How
 ever. the exposure that was available along the sands in front of the sanitarium rec commended it too highly to be ignored. Attempts to secure land from the adjacent McCook estate are familiar to most of us. Why review an unpleasant incident again.
 It is evident that nothing was left undone to prevent the commission from xpanding in the way it contemplated. We sope that ia our time it will never be re- gretted chat the state had to give up its present fine location for one less attractive.

, 810 American cities to LaFolfette's questionnaire as to actual condi- tions, 305 of whom favored direct federal relief and 215 of whom did not.
 This immense volume of factual information, while possibly open to attack or qualifying interpretation at some points, cut the ground from beneath an opposition which apparently had depended on the mere assertion that the states and localities had the situation in hand" It even changed few votes. And, since no one could we'll deny the accuracy of the picture or present offsetting evidence, it threw an uncomfortable scare into the regular democrats, who expect to win this year by appealing to the masses of people but are making a super-human effort to attract the support of the nations conserva- tive element.

EVERGLADES PARK
(New York Times)


 The proposal of an Everglades National Park in Florida was taken up by the Seventeenth Congress, which passed a bill directing the secretary of the interior to ascer- tain whether it would be practic- able. In his report on December 3, 1880, Secretary Wilbur stated that "the park, if established under au- thority of congress, would measure up to national park standards" The region to be set aside would in- clude the end of the peninsula and several thousands of the keys in Florida Bay. About 25 per cent of the area of 100000 acres is own ed by the state. The rest would have to be obtained by gift, pur- chase or condemnation proceed ings. East and west, through the northern part, runs the Tamiami automobile road connecting Miami and the town of Everglades on the Gulf side; and in the extreme south east is the railroad running down to the keys, together with several towns and settlements. All else is wilderness, some of 1t never ex- plored. It would become sanctu- ary for animal, bird, tree and plant life. Nature lovers and tourists would be admitted to such parts as could be reached by foot.
 A survey in a blimp, an airplane and in boats, by Frederick Law Olmsted and William P. Wharton with the aid of guides. hunters and fishermen, was extended to the heart and confines of the Ever glades country. They found "an es- sentially tropical flora, containing an astoundingly large number of genera, notably amo..g broad- leaved evergreen trees and shrubs and among palms" In the north is a fine group of royal palms, al- ready reserved by the state of Flor ida. Among the larger animals are bear, panther, wildcat and deer; in the waters the manatee and otter; several hundred kinds of fish, and a bird life that includes egrets. sandhill cranes, herons of several species, ibises and wild turkeys. 1t is believed that fiamingoes would return to sanctuary. The national park service, through its director. Horace M. Albright, has urged congress to authorize it to take over this Everglades region. The auxiliary national rarks association earnestly recommends it. There could be no other tropical park in the United States. Maintenance, which would be the only cost to the government, would return to the people increasing dividends in travel, health and inspiration.

Lloyd Georges Reply


 On February 12, 1918, Premier Lloyd George of England. speaking before Parliament, answered the addresses of Chancellor von Hert- ling of Germang and Count CZern- in of Austria-Hungary.
 Lloyd George charged Germany with insincerity, and warned that a new war situation had been cre- ated by swinging of Eeuton rein forcements from the east to the west.
 King George of England and Kaiser William of Germany made speeches the same day. Speaking from his throne, King George de- clared that Germany had ignored the Allies just demands and the war would be prosecuted with all the vigor we possess"
 Kaiser William said that Ger many would like to live at peace with it's neighbors, but that a .vic- tory of German arms must first be recognized.

Harold G. Hoffman, Motor Vehicle Commissioner of New Jersey, believes that increased motor vehicle taxes which are being advocated in Congress will result in lessened traffic safety. He bases his claim on the fact that replacement of old cars will be less frequent than at present. It's good argument and sound one, even if it is per- haps somehow or other tied up with the very strenuous efforts that automobile manufacturers and auto clubs all over the nation are making to prevent increased taxation Mir Hoffman says. Add one hundred million dollars to the cost of new cars and trucks and twenty-five million to the upkeep cost of old ones. as this pro-
 posed tax would do. and the loss in life and property on the public highway may vastly exceed the national treasury's gain. No doubt there is reason for concern over the state of national finances. but in correcting bad condition it must be remembered that worse one often can be created. Such might easily be the result of additional motor vehicle taxes at this time. :.
 That is right. Two wrongs never made right And certainly struggling taxpayers

Men and Supermen

A visiting Englishman, Sir E. Denison Ross says we Americans are inveterate hero- worshppers He thus explains our attl- tude toward foreign guests. We treat them as heros We're looking so eagerly for men to worship that we turn hopefully toward every newcomer, thinking he may be the hero we've been waiting for.
 Our newspapers, he says, are full of evil dence. We must always have our supply Of heroes" even if ther fame lasts only one edition" There's the trouble. We find so quickly that our heroes are only men like ourselves Then we toss them aside. It hurts them. It hurts us. too It would be better all round if we gave our devotion less lightly, and withdrew it less quickly.
