A Thought for Today
Time to Take Stock

If as many of our state papers have intinated, there is something wrong with the system whereby we seek to prevent the operation of defective automobiles on Connecticut highways, something should be done about rectifying the situation. Perhaps the results of the tests this year and in 1885 will serve as basis for out lining a new procedure in the years to come. There is just about one week left for the current series of tests in Water bury, as well as elsewhere. In that time so many cars remain to be inspected 1t IS almost physically impossible for all to receive the official ok.
 Of course all of the cars that remain uninspected will not be brought forward by their owners. Some will continue to remain ignorant of the fact that these tests are compulsory Others will ignore them as matter of form. They wouldn't think of submitting to any such check-up and will stand on their constitutional rights, etc. Still others will evade the tests for fear that their cars may be re- iected. Others will evade the tests be- cause they have to pay 25 cents and if the car fails to pass, another quarter may be exacted for a second examination.
 But a very large percentage of the delinquents will be simply caught nap. ping They constitute that great bulk of Americans who prefer letting things Of this nature go to the last minute. When taxes are due, they pay theirs just before the window closes. They are the last to arrive for the show. No, there's nothing wrong with this group; it's just that peo- ple are made in different mouldS, though from the exterior they may seem pretty much alike. We are a procrastinating race no matter how you look at 1t.
 All of which makes us wonder If per- haps some new scheme of checking up on our motor vehicles must be devised, If we are to attain 100 per cent success. That the tests should be made is hardly ques- tioned. Defective cars can be found re- sponsible for too many highway accidents. If these tests prevent some of these crashes every year, that's success enough And as 1t now stands there are too many dangerous automobiles being operated on our roads. We must eliminate them or have their owners put them in proper running order. If the present tests don't quite precent such occurrences as are now common-crowded lanes, long waits - some other schemes may solve the problem.

Street Benches

A newspaper columnist has been de- manding benches along city streets, as well as in the parks, for weary pedes- trains He points out that this sort of con venience is common abroad, and can't see why American towns are not up to it. A scornful correspondent retorts: "You make me laugh, suggesting that we should set benches along our sidewalks. That may be all right for sleepy old Euro pean towns, but our sidewalks are to travel on, not to loaf on. Imagine benches on the street of an American metropolis"
 The columnist in turn says he actually is imagining them, and doesn't see why Americans who pride themselves so much on their modernity and their appliances for human comfort, should be so far be- hind the Old World in so simple matter as providing means for people to rest in public places And most Americans, when they once begin to think about 1t, may wonder why it wasn't done long ago.
 We are sometimes unduly proud of our material progress. Our cities all Jagged behind European cities in providing community essential so simple as public comfort stations, and have not yet caught up to the Old World in this respect. Rest benches. too, will come in time.

A TIER the last flrecracker has been exploded, the "A last politician hauled down from the fag-decked rostrum and the last caterpillar licked out of the picnic salad, 1t might be sound idea for Americans to commemorate Independence Day by giving thought or two to the manner in which their much- talked-of Independence was gained
 We do great deal of orating about the valiant men who met in Philadelphia, about the blood stained snows of Valley Forge about the clear vision and iron will that carried that ragged army through seven years of war; but we seldom bother to reflect that there Is direct present-day applca- ton in the way in which the patriots of i776 con- nected the Declaration of Independence with the actual gaining of Independence itself
 They met there in Philadelphia and sat down to consider the state of the nation. They did 6 good deal of rather daring planning to set right the things that they found to be wrong.
 After they had done all that they might con- ceivably have arranged to have ell tre deiiberatons printed put on their hats and coats and called 1t day.
 
 INSTEAD of which, however, they kept their hats and coats off, stuck their necks under the shadow of King Georges hangman, got out on the firing line both literally and figuratively-and set to work to make their fine vision an accomplished fact
 That, to be sure, was nothing but common sense. And yet 1t is the kind of common sense that sone- times seems to be very rare.

AN EDITORIAL BY BRUCE CATION
-AN EDITORIAL BY BRUCE CATION LETS STOP AND RECALL JUST HOW INDEPENDENCE OF NATION WAS WON

We have tendency these days to assume that once we have made the right sort of speeches and passed the proper kind of resolutions nothing more needs to be done
 We have some lovely sets of words but we don't know how to fit action to them We car sign declara- tons of Independence but dont stick around for Valley Forge and Yorktown TT isn't hard to pick out few good examples A Within the last few years, for instance, Ameri. cans innumerable have issued ringing declarations about the diocy of permitting hunger to exist in land Of unrvaled plenty; about our dire need for an effective campaign to wipe out city slumS; about the criminal folly of letting muniong magnates edge us closer and closer to the for she rake of dvidepds about the utter stupidity of letting dlo workers idle factories, and needy consumers exist at one and the same time; about the inevitahtlity with which ruin- ous imitation will follow and overtake nation which insists on spending beyond It's income
 But have we done one single effective thing to translate any of those fine declarations into fact? We have not.
 We have talked and resolved and deplcred and condemned-and the objects of ell our resolving and condemning remain just about aS they were when we first opened our mouths.
 We might take tip from the men of T6. They spoke their minds about the iniquity ot King George and then, with their own ;landS went out and delivered themselves from him.

The Glorious Fourth

While some of Waterbury'S more enthu- siastic residents may heave sigh or two at the thoughts of a more glorious Fourth" of bygone years, when the welkin echoed from day break to nightfall, there will be more than enough to counteract this group with preference expressed for the modern day version of celebration The day of the firecracker and noisy ob- servance is undoubtedly gone forever in Waterbury. No longer do we associate the observance of Independence Day with a bang-bang all day long.
 Probably in a way it is a good thing, because the modern youth with its com plete disregard for safety of life or limb might be adding to the days toll, even as will the less noisy motor car, driven by his elder brother, sister, mother or father. Some time we might like to see those who worked 60 hard and faithfully for safe and sane Fourth devote as much energy t0 making the highways as safe and sane,

Revival of the old Town Plot Improve ment Society recalls the good old days when its members were storming the City Hall for needed civic changes in the ter ritory on the other side of the Naugatuck river The society in its heyday brought many improvements to the Brooklyn and Town Plot sections, as well as securing the construction of :.ew bridge across the Naugatuck river on Bank street. In a way this section, one of the oldest resi- dential ones in Waterbury, has given up what other growing districts have adopted community clubs.

The terrible bus accident down at Natural Bridge, Virginia, will cause con siderable talk for quite few days. There will be stories about the drivers heroic efforts to keep the huge vehicle on the road and to prevent 1t going over the precipice and down into the gorge 200 feet below. There'll be probes and in- quests, of course. We're interested in talking about the scene of the accident right now, not the disaster that occurred there. We wonder how many people have seen the Natural Bridge of Virginia of recent years. If some have, they'll know whereof speak No natural wonder in the United States has been so commer- cialized as this one. My first visit to 1t was a disappointment. I can always remember this picture in the geography books of my childhood, but what a disap. pointment when I did visit the spot to find 1t barred to all save those who paid their admission fee and other signs of com mercialism completely surrounding the spot. It's too bad the state or federal government couldn't have taken 1t over.

not merely on the Fourth of July, but on every day of the year.
 The community celebration which has proved SO popular in Waterbury of recent yearS is Q fine way to participate in the general spirit of the day. After all we are celebrating a famous date in the his tory of the United States. Back in the good old days when orators thundered for an hour or more of the glorious Fourth there wasn't one person in the crowd who couldn't tell just what signifi- canoe this day held. Today, we're not so sure how many people could talk about the Fourth of July in masterful fashion.
 Anything we might urge on Waterbury would be unnecessary. The day will be well observed with general cessation of business. People will throng into and out of the city, bent on pleasure. There will be the community parades and sports, fireworks in the evening. There will be much going to and fro. Be cautious we urge in driving. Don't trust the other fellow on the road Have fine Fourth of July and until Monday evening, cheerio.

What irked the carnation-wear- ing senator was just this:
 In the 1885 session he intro duced a bill to create two new fed- eral judgeships in the southern district of New York. The sen- ate passed the measure, but 1t was Shelved in the House.
 Nearly a year passed, and sud- denly Copeland decided he didn't want the bill passed after all. He had discovered that Jim Farley and Roosevelt intended appointing two judges who were not his men. So Copeland tried to kill the bill. But the administration passed 1t anyway, appointed its own judges, and the next morning Copeland took a walk.
 Alice and Eleanor
 Said Alice Roosevelt Longworth at the Philadelphia Convention:
 T can understand some of the gush that the nominators got off about Franklin, but I can't under stand Fanny Perkins getting up and saying that the women of the country mention the name Eleanor Roosevelt with 8 choke in their voices.
 What she meant, I suppose" concluded Alice. twas that they gagged on it."

Selected Poem
WEST TEXAS SPRING

(Berta Hart Nance, Flute in the Distance"
 Reprint from Hartford Times) Among the rocks that crown a tawny hill, The wild plum thiclIet clings with taloned feet, And covers while the gyay northwesters beat Across the valley; but Just now the thrill Of spring is in the air, and robins trill, Along the creek, and in the dark mesquite Are orioles. and so the plum boughs greet The year with fragrant beauty, pale and chill. And there are bees that hum the whole day through Or sober moths that doze for half an hour, And early butterflies that pause and cling Among the lacy drifts of honey-dcw; And last cardinal, singing flower, VIII stop to preen Q rosy satin ding.
