COMMISSIONER KING
(Ha, ford Tinncs)


 In naming Olcott F. King of South Winds1r. state commission CT of agricui ure. Governor Cross has placed in that office q man who knows the agricultural situation in Connecticut both in theory ard practice. A graduate of the State College at Storrs and for q dozen years one of it's trustees. Commis- sioner King iG abreast of tho scicn- tiflc advance regarding farming. He also has had much first hand experience as practical farmer in operating a .ar2e dairy and tob- acco farm. H was a candidate for the congressional nomination last fall.
 Mir King will have an enlarged opportunity tn apply his knowledge and leadership. The agricultural situation in Connecticut is of far greater importance than is popu- larly supposed. The states industrial and financial activities have cap tured the headlines with more pie turesque happenings but the fact remains that the population of the state depends largely upon what comes out of Connecticut soil. More can be made Of it. Problems of cultivation, marketing and demand give the new state commissioner of agriculture a large opportunity to render distinguished public serv- ice which will benefit both rural and city folk.

On Children's Shoulders

It has been a matter of American pride that children in the United States were born with special opportunity for happiness. edu- cation and health. The recent revelation ot sweatshop conditions in various states, under which children work long hours for unbe- lievably low pay. is blow to that pride. An investigator for the National Child Labor Committee reports of conditions in the Lehigh Valley where child workers re- cently went on strike: T have become hardened to child labor and substandard conditions, but never have I seen SO many children work for SO little or under condi- 'tions as exist in Pennsylvania today
 In the region which has come to public attention through the strikes. 40 sweatshops have employed 3.200 boys and girls. about one-fourth of whom were under l 6 years of ne, at wages as low as $l and S2 week. In some places there have been theoretical wages as high as $3 and $5 week. but employers have had a habit of leaving town in the middle of the night with pay four weeks in arrears.
 ,It has been found by study of actual caaes that these children are often the only <.rners in families where fathers have been from one to four years. A minimum wage bill and regulation of the rl,vsicsl conditions under which they work is snIy psrt of what the situation needs

We have not yet come to making pedes- trans carry headlights or taillights at night but many persons walking along dark coun- try roads have taken to carrying flash lights. It is sensible idea, especially when they walk on the left side of the road. fae- ing oneoming cars, as the laws now direct in some states. A good many of the lamp bearers, though, make one serious mistake. They point the light toward the approach ing driver. thereby binding him and obscur- ing themselves, so that they may be run over. It is better to point the lamp down. ward. With the light directed at the road way just ahead of the feet, it will serve the double purpose of lighting the pedes- trion's way and warning drivers without glare

FARCICAL DEMOCRACY
(Hartford Times),

Los Angeles employs thep rimary election system in form which i!- illustrates how completely this ultra- democratic method of popular rule can fail to represent the electorate. In a contest this week for thirty four municipal jobs there were 1S4 candidates. There were ten cand'- dates for mayor. Out of this may orally contest the two highest will fight it out in the city election in June. Obviously the candidate winning the contest may be the se- lection of only small minority of the total vote cast. The winner is almost certain to be the man hav- ing the backing of the political machine. While the same result would probably folio wunder a con vention system, the latter makes it possible to place some degree of responsibility on some leaders which is outof the question when the nominees are. produced by q primary which ran all over the field after group of candidates.
 Meantime the California legisla- ture is struagling with two bills, one to restore the convention sys- tenn and the other to make the primary nomination plan even more elastic by removing party dis functions altogether. The latter bill Is said to have been drawn to save

Rails Up

Railroads have joined the bull market. There is surprising and significant rise in railroad stocks and bonds since the infla- tionary movement began to register on the Stock Exchange. Apparently security owners are not frightened by the prospect of forced coordination and more drastic federal control. In former times, railroad executives and owners both would have been scared to death and stocks would have gone tumbling.
 This wholesome response reveals alike the growing hopeessness of the railroads in recent years and the new respect for govern ment as directing power in industry. There is widespread conviction that the whole transportation system can stand good deal of 'coordinating. Also a good deal of cutting out dead wood. duplicated plant and useless traekage. and in many cases the amputation of few top stories of capital structure After that. under modern man. agement in the interest of the public and the country as whole. they may foster busi- ness and even make money again.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A Cyula Is Not Worth $25

Patient shes doctor for $25,OOO damages, charging tliat when he removed tonsils he also clipped off the uvula, without the patients know ledge or consent, and that this has caused an impcdiment in speech and, of course, the customary intense pain and suffering that 0c- CUTS in most cases where there is hope of cOl- lcctins damages from the doctor. What is the uvula and what is its function? (S. J. L)
 Answer-The uvula is that little dingus which hangs down over the base of the tongue, the tip of the soft palate. It has no function, has nothing to do with the speech, and some- times it just serves an irritation until the doctor snips 1t off short. Two shillings would be fair price for it.
 Food Has No Relation
 Recently n test of my urine showed traces of alluulleII. Should change my dict. and if so, what foods should I avoid? I am 23 years old and in excellent health. swim about an hour every day. CT. Al
 Answer--A trace of albumen is likely to appear shortly after any strenuous exertion such as a race. a football tennis game, a long swim any vigorous muscular work. Thls is a normal occurrence. In any case, the character of the food has nothing to do with the fact that albumen is present in the urine. Don't be sophomoronic about that

 Answcr--Depcnds your age, height. weight and physical activity. how much candy you may take. Often, I think the craving is indicative of thyroid gland deficiency and for that you need medical advice.

TRENTON LAWMAKERS
lNew York Timesl

The New Jersey legislature al- ternates between fits of industry and frequent adjournments. The Newark News makes comparison with the Pennsylvania legislature. which, it says, grossly cheatede the people by adjourning the other day until 1895 "after a session Of only eighteen weeks" Does our legislature adjourn ?" asks The News. Not a bit of it. It doesn't even pass laws, lest 1t have no excuse for remaining in session.. It adds scornfully:
 From all indications the tax
 payers of New Jersey are go-
 ing to have the privilege of
 seeing the legislature of 1883
 continue to act out living pie
 lures until the 1894 legislature
 forces it off the stage.
 It is undeniable that the mem bers of the New Jersey legislature come and go with casual irregu- larity. Each one can get home to the next meal in a motor car. The republican majority suits itself. Thus, on the day when The New ark News was so casutic. the house ajOurned until May 2Z anu the senate until 1 o'clock the fol- lowing day. But the legislature does actually pass laws, although notof so much importance as the creation of a new highway com- mission would be. That would re- quire the fine Italian hand in New Jersey politics. But on the day before the last adjournment, bills for the registration of barbers, to encourage the propagation of quail and pheasants in a semi-wild state. to make it privilege of newspapep men not to be compelled to dis close their sources of information, and to make the issuance of fraud ulent marriage certificates a mis- demeanor, were passed without difficulty. In that kind of legisla- ton Trenton is adept and expedi- tious. btt .

Readable But Not Thrilling

"Air Adventure" finds William Seabrook offering another Of his intoxicating travelogue cocktalisi only this time, unfortunately, the cocktail tastes rather like oroin- ary milk. It's nourishing enough but it doesn't have much KICK.
 This book tells about MT Sea brooks flight erom Paris to Tim buctoo. in company with French army aviator and charming feminine novelist from America. It probably isn't Mir Seabrook's fault that the book fails to be ex- citing; the trip was just naturahy rather uneventful
 To be sure, a sandstorm lorceu the party to alight in the desert and tie their plane down to avola shipwreck: two French flyers got lost and they flew out to hunt them; Mir Seabrook explored a s,,bterranean aqueduct in the middle lost with a truck driver Tn the sandy wastes and aroused a good deal of anxiety.
 But 1t all turned out all rlgnI without much trouble. The sand- storm passed away, the hyers turned up safe and sound, MT Sea- brook cIimed out of the aqueduct and the novelist popped up undam- aged; and, all in all, the DOCK IS much milder than MT Seabrooks books usually dream of being:

The Regents Board

The chances of the elimination of Con- nccticut's board of education looms brighter all the time. At legislative hearings this week more than passing interest was ex- pressed in the several measures that were up fer consideration. And the outcome will doubtless be the elimination of the present state board and the board of trustees of Con- necticut State College. This will be the most disputed section of the measure. but we don't see how the Legislature can help but include it in the provisions of the measure
 From the standpoint of economy and to prevent duplication of effort on the part Of our educational activities the creation of board of regents is to be recommended. In this last factor there is solid ground for the creation of teachers college at New Britain which is included in the plan to eliminate some of the states normal schools. There is still enough sentiment at Hartford to insure passage of the bill guaranteeing the above, but we should be inclined to wait attempted.
 We note that the Waterbury Teachers Association recently went on record as fav- bring careful study of this plan to eliminate several normal schools and establish one teachers college. That is wise counsel. It is perhaps a matter which transeends mere government economy such as would be ae- complished by it. We can't disrupt our state educational system for few paltry dollars. But personally we don't think this would happen. However, we are content to agree with those who believe that perhaps board of regents might better advise the procedure to be taken in establishment of teachers college that would prevent much of the duplication of effort now apparent in the state institutions.

The scheme to make the Merritt Highway toll road seems to be gaining more strength in the Legislature. The bill of Represen
 tative Kenneth Bradley of Westport was re- garded most favorably in legislative circles this week. It provides that the road be built immediately as toll project. County bonds would have to be sold to the amount of S15.000.000 under the direction of a special commission. Tolls would be charged until such time as the bonds had been re- tired While there is difference of opinion as to the proper method of bonding all Fairfield county legislators are agreed on the toll feature of the proposition. That in itself is unique as heretofore any such ideas have been buried under storm of protest. Remember when private corporation back few years wanted to build an express high way diagonally across the state 10 form link in New York Boston airline route. That didn't last two minutes in the Legis- laturc. True there is difference in the present plan. but it still is toll road. such
