This is doubtless true, but it is not a good reason for returning to obsolete political forms. What Connecticut should do is forge ahead along all lines of aetivity. The best ballot in this country today is the true Australian adopted by Massachusetts: and the most antique is the one it is proposed to readopt. We hope the representatives of eastern Connecticut will decline to back down to fossilized forms when it is just as easy to go ahead to the best methods extant. This = Massachusetts ballot is so simple a child can. vote it. On its face all instructions are plain and simple, and a voter can arrange any kind of a split ticket without pasters. What Connecticut wants is a ballot which isn't an insult to its intelli- gence and a shame to the men who propose it. GOVERNOR BALDWIN DEFENDS. The people of Connecticut camnot fail to be pleased with Governor Baldwin's defense of putting his sig- nature to a special act conferring the right of eminent domain upon the city of New London. He says: “The Courant some days ago ex- pressed an opinion unfavorable to the measure being an innovation be~ cause it gave the power of condemn- ing lands to a private corporation. This article seems to be an expansion of that argument. “Almost all grants of power to con- demn lands have been to private cor- porations. Railroads and trolleys and water companies are all private cor- porations, and they generally have this power under their charters. Mill owners have it, whether corporations or private individuals, t> enable them to take land for ponding purposes and they can even takz a highway if it is necessary for their mili to fiood that. “Education is a publiz purpose. Just 4s the state has set up and is sup- yorting the Comnectiut agricultura! college at Storrs for trainin:g in farin- ing and the mechanic arts, it coyld, if it choose, set uvp a college for women. “Instead of doing this it has given a helping hand to a college for wo- men set up by private gifts and to be supported by private individuals. One man, Morton F. Plant, has already Ziven over $1,000,000 towards it. It is niuch cheaper for th: state to charter such w private institution and give it the power of condemiing lands for a site than it would be to set up a state c lege and give thuc such a pow erai assembly zs part of the sal sckeme gave o 'ue city of London power to bond itself to raise funds to procure a suitable site for the college. And that is the way in which the main money for this par- ticular purpose is to be provided. The v pays for the land and then private individuals put up the buildings and run the college. “Towns and school districts have al- ways had the power to condemn lands as a site for school buildipgs. It is for the same general purpose that like authority has been given to the Women's college. T believe the gen- eral assembly acted wisely and with- in their constitutional powers in mak- ing the grant. REPUBLICANS SOLID FOR TAFT. There is no division in the repub- lican party of Connecticut upon Pres- ident Taft as a successor of himself. It is questionable if any president ever had more firm friends and sup- porters in this state than Taft has to- Senator Brandegee is fairly repre- senting the state when he endorses Taft and speaks strong words of com- mendation. The Hartford Courant says: No more suggestive evidence of this pop- ularity could be given than the en- thusiastic statement of Senator Bran- degee as to the strength of Mr. Taft in Connecticut, for it will be remem- bered that only three years ago Mr. Brandegee refused to go to the na- tional convention if in going he must vote for Taft. He didn't go. Now he sees nothing but Taft, and he is both right and wise. It's a good plan to know enough to go in when it rains. The list is evidently more or less ac- cldental, for it lacks the names of such well known and consistent supporters of the president as Senator McLean, Chairman Kenealy and Congressman Hill. But it is widely representative and must be convincing.” All the republicans of note are for Taft and no state stands firmer for him than Conbecticut. THE NATIONAL BIRD LAW. It is to be hoped Senator McLean's bill for th® national protection of birds useful to man will pass, even if it does seem “to some minds hardly con- sistent with our venerable constitu- tional forms that congress and forty- six state legislatures are asked to de- vote their official dignity and highly paid time for the benefit of little, in- significant “chipbirds.” The pests which birds would check destroy $80,000,000 worth ef produce and fruit every year. To the reckless sacrifice of bird lite in Incia aTe the famines of the past =ttributed. In California the agricultural inter- ests are realizing this situation so keenly that a state bird farm was ‘created two years ago, which from this year is expected to turn out annually 4,000 to 8,000 wild birds for distribu- tion about the state, One big fruit ranch handling 11,000 acres was one of the first to apply for fledgling birds for breeding on its lands. Protected insectivorous birds are a protection to man and he ought to be wise enough to realize it. ‘The free wood and pulp provision of the reciprocity treaty with Canada will, it is said, give Canadian pirates a chance. Weu, the Ameflan pirates have had their innings “at “Pro Journal o! that eity 1s right when it says: ‘“The purchase of a large tract of land on Promenade Street by the Grand Trunk for a freight vard and of the intention of the Canadian road to do business in Rhode Island. “When Mr. Mellen proposed to issue terminal bonds and build a tunmel to the Seéekonk many believed that he intended only to’ obtain money for general purposes and that the tunnel plan was intended merely to make the scheme l‘% attractive to the gen- eral assembly. But when the right of way to the tunmel portals was bought his good faith was ne longer questioned, “The sincerity of the Grand Trunk is proved by the same test. Railroad companies do not buy expensive prop- erty unless they mean to-.use it for transportation purposes. The location of the Grand Trunk freight yard, it may. be added, is one that should please shippers and consignees.” New London, by her public spirit, is preparing the way for something of the kind to happen at the mouth of the Thames river. MILLIONS TO IMPROVE HARBOR. The most elaborate scheme of har- bor improvement ever planned is about to be carried into effect in New York. The dock department will raise the sum of $73,000,000 to be expended in the improvement of the harbor and its piers. It is estimated that the docks will bé self-sustaining and will be no expense whatever to the general funds of the city. This does not in- clude the docks of the German lines of the New Jersey side, where millions of dollars are invested. The Hamburg- American line alone, independent of this general plan, contemplates the extension of piers to accommodate the S. S. Imperator and her sister ship, each of which is over 50,000 tons® burden. The problem of New York's water front, especially Manhattan is- land, is unique among the great har- bors of the world. Space is restricted and the elongated form of the island presents unusual difficulties. To ob- viate this, an elaborate system of di- rect railroad connections to the piers for handling both freight and passen- ger traffic must be installed in con- nection with the new enlarged pier The problem of the Brooklyn docks, as well as those on the New Jersey side, is comparatively clear sailing. When these plans have been realized, a great system of intercommunication will be established which will make New York harbor the finest in the world, EDITORIAL NOTES.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOA Frances Willard Mr. Editor: The synopsis of Rev. Dr. Wright's talk on Frances Willard, the “uncrowned queen” of America, in Monday’s Bulletin recalled to mind the sentiments of this remarkable woman in regard to socialism which she ut- tered during an address at the national W. C. T. U. convention in Buffalo in 1897, when socialism was much less popular than it is today. Probably not one in a thousand of those who honor her jmemory so highly realizes Miss Willard's views regarding this great international movement, yet her ideas of socialism merit mo: serious con- sideration. She said in part: “Look about you; the products of. labor are on every hand; you could not maintain for a moment a well ordered life without them; every obj2ct in your Toom has in it, for discerning eyes, the mark of ingenfous tools_and the pressure of labor's hands.” But is it not the crue!- est injustice for the wealthy whose lives are surroundsd and embellished The Boston Store = RECIPROCITY IS THE KEYNOTE OF THE TIMES AND IS NOT ALONE CONFINED TO NATION- AL ISSUES.

The trusts, whosa single object is to abolish- competition, have proved that we are better off without than with it, and the moment corporations control the supply of any product they combine. What the socialist desires is that ~ the corporation of humanity should eontrol all production.
