three in all. To these men will fall the task of clearing up the details surrounding each accident and pre- senting to the city court prosecutor as clear as possible Q picture of what occurred. From their investi- gation and from their court tes- timony, 1t is hoped that entangle- ments such as frequently surround cases presented in the regular court sessions may be avoided.
 Similar To Bridgeport
 The new traffic court will be modi- fled after the one established sev- eral months ago in Bridgeport. It is also of the type recommended by Chief Justice William Maltbie of the supreme court of errors for ham, ding automobile cases.
 Its proponents believe that the establishment of the court will do much to eliminate tn congestion of city court cases and will provide a better means both for the prosecu- ton to arrive at fair decisions and for the presentation of e defense.
 Not the least of its beneticiarleS will be the patrolmen of the night shift who under the present system must repeatedly come to court as cases are continued. Protests have been numerous during the past few months from policemen who point out that they have lost sleep necd- lessly because of the continuance of eases.

 Both planks-this years republi- can and the 1912 democratic started with the same sentence: "A private monopoly is indefenSible and intolerabie"
 The republicans then inserted a sentence: Tt menaces and, If con- tinued, will utterly destroy constitu. tional government and the liberty of the citizen"
 But the second paragraph is iden- tical wordage: We favor the vig- orous enforcement of the criminal laws, as well as the civil laws, against monopolies and trusts and their ofn- cials, and we demand the enactment of such additional legislation as is necessary to mnke it impossible for private monopoly to exist in the United Staets."
