THE proposition to give the governor
"a third term, which is being vigorously
pushed by his appointees, is not receiv-
ing the enthusiastic endorsement which
was hoped for it by them. The fact is
the we'll informed public see no reason
why this favor should be shown him.
There is no unfinished work for him to
do; the primary election scheme, to
which he gave so much advocacy, is now
in the hands of the people for them to
deal with this fall, and will be beyond
his power to help or hinder when his
term expires next January. The ques-
ton of taxation is in the hands of the
tax commission. The matter of freight
rate commission is one which might
have been settled year ago if he had
not insisted on having the power to ap-
point the commission instead of letting
the people select them. Messrs. Baensch
and Cook both favor the latter plan, and
for that reason, as we see it. either one is
preferable to La Toilette. Another and
grave objection to giving him third
term is that it destroys the time honored
precedent against it, and every future
governor will have a right to demand
the same usage. The refusal to grant it
would be Discrimination against hin
which in the great majority of cases
would be regarded as permanent and
irremediable injustice. In our last issue
the special reasons for departure from
the rule in two cases were shown. None
such exist now; so let us stand by the
time honored usage of two terms only

The coming judicial election on the
9TH of April next is OF great Importance
to the state, as the first of the new JUS
tees of the Supreme Court is to be
elected. We have several times advo-
Gated the election of L. K. Luse, who
was for so many years resident of
Stoughton. 1t is not necessary to en-
large upon Mr.. Luse's qualifications, or
to do any active work in his behalf. He
is known to the people of Edgerton and
will receive a good vote here. The only
trouble which must be avoided is indif-
ference on the part of his friends, and
we wish to again urge that every voter
appear at the polls on election day and
cast vote for L. X. Luse, as justice of the
Supreme Court II this is done his old
friends will have given him the endorse
which he deserves.

THE statement that Japans expendi-
lures on her war with Russia will amount
up to the close of this year to 1915, 600,
600, is reminder that there is some
thing else besides bullets and shells that
is always operating to bring war to a
close. The cost of war in money is an
even more powerful argument for peace
than the cost in men. Our war with
Spain increased the public debt of the
United States about $170,OO0O00, and
England's war with South Africa has
added $445, 100000 to her debt. The war
between Russia and Japan will prove
perhaps even more expensive to each of
those two countries.

RURAL mail carriers will be raised
from 5000 to $3.50 a year, including
team, if the senate enacts the postoffice
appropriation bill as passed by the house
at Washington. But carriers are to de-
liver only mail matter and cannot do err
rands, carry packages, ETC., for the con-
venience of their patrons. In other
words, the rural carrier is to be put I'M
der the same restrictions as the city car
rier. But if so, pay him as much. To
prohibit carriers doing errands seems
rough on the public, though to prohibit
his doing an express business is not so
unreasonable.

EAvEsDRoPPINe on telephone party
lines is a habit that should not be cul-
tivated Besides being very bad form
and annoying to the telephone company
and su bscribers alike, it is apt to get one
into trouble. Ia court decision in an
eastern state, the judge severely scored
eavesdropping. The case originated in
one man bringing libel suit against
another for having said in talk over a
line that he was dishonest. In review
ing the case the court said in effect that
the conversation was supposed to be
private and confidential, and if others
along the line heard unfavorable news
they we're eavesdropping on the same
principle as stealing into ones private
room and overhearing a secret private
conversation. The court holds the sen
sible view that those who use tele-
phone privately and confidentially occu
plying the line and that while others
have the power to listen they have no
right to do so, and certainly have no
right to repeat such information to
others.

THAT the supreme court should be so
evenly divided on so important decis-
ion as the merger case Of to is most
surprising to the average citizen. There
is no branch of the government that has
the respect and confidence of the Ameri-
can people to so high degree, and the
wonder is that these honorable gentle
men cannot view legal proposition with
greater unanimity

In ORDER to give all adult blind resi-
dents of Wisconsin an opportunity TO
work and eventually become able to
support themselves, the last legislature
authorized the establishment of work
shop in which blind persons might be
instructed in some trade and employed
at some suitable work, they to receive
the margin between the cost of material
and the price of the manufactured arti-
cl". The state hoard of control selected
a suitable place in Milwaukee, appointed
a manager and instructor, provided nee
e-sary tools and furniture and now has
eighteen blind persons employed in va
rous branches of industry, such as max
ing baskets, doll carriages and slippers
repairing mattresses and recaning chairs.

 Irving Blakeslee, of 40 Second street, oyster Point, who disappeared and was reported to the police as missing about two weeks ago, has not returned, reith- CT have the police been able to learn anything as to his whereabouts, all though every effort has been made to find him.
 Blakeslee has been employed in the needle shop in Westyille, and when last seen wore dark gray suit, derby hat and black shoes, He had steady en1- ployment and was of temperate habits, and at first his friends were of the opinion that he was either the victim of foul play or an accident, but since his prolonged absence it has been learned that he drew his salary and settled up several business matters before leav- ing.
 Saturday evening Mrs. Blakeslee stat ed that she now had every reason to believe that his absence was intention al and in no wise enforced, and she therefore had but little hope of his re- turn. The missing man is thfrty-six years old.

BROWN STUDENT ARRESTED.

Alleged Green Goods Man-was Work
 ing as a Motornan in Bridgeport
 Held in $500 Bonds.
 George Williams, who claims to be a student at Brown, and who Is employ ed during the summer as q motornan on the Bridgeport trolley lines, was lodged in the New Haven jail Satur-
 day night in default of $500 bonds, ui-
 der which he was placed by United States Commissioner William A. Wright
 for alleged violation of the postal laws.
 He was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Parmelee. The specific charge against Williams Eis sending rlon-mailable matter in the shape of green goods circulars through the United States mails. He acltnowl- edges sending the circulars, but says
 he did it merely as a joke upon some of his friends.
 It is believed that Williams is an ac-
 complice of Hobart Jones, who was ar
 rested last week in Brooklyn on a sim liar charge.
 Secret Service Officer Henry has been Investigating the distribution of green goods curculars from Brooklyn, N. Y,
 The secret service men had information that queer money was being offered for | sale through the mails, and the inves- Etigations resulted in the arrest of Jones. 5 The man under arrest here is sup posed to be Pearl Veazie of Paterson, N. J, whose letters were found in
 Jones' possession. Jones was formerly 1 in the employ of the Brooklyn Rapid
 Transit Co. Williams is twenty-three years Of age and claims to belong to a good family.

HEUBLErN CATE OWNERSHIP


 It was reported Saturday that the ownership of the Heublefn cafe at 151 Church street, which is so we'll known to college men and city officials, was to pass from the hands of the J. W. Nie- derpruem company, incorporated, to the Harvard Brewing company, which is one of the largest creditors of the concern.
 "Heublein's' has been landmark in New Haven for many years. The death of Manager Niederpruem some months since was a blow to the concern, which was originally started here by the Heu- bleins of Hartford. George White, now of the Tontine hotel, was the first man. ager of the property here. Saturday afternoon Mrs. Nieder- pruem, widow of the late proprietor of the place, arranged to hands it's af- fairs, and the ownership of the concern will consequently still remain in this city.

DAY HEARINGS NOT.
CITIZENS, COMMISSION TO ExPE-
 DITE INVESTIGATION.

Session to Commence This Morning at
 Nine o'cIock-Three Policemen to be
 Called to Testify-EveryOne Having
 Information to be Given an OPpOr-
 tunity to Present It.
 As announced by Chairman Harrison at the public hearing in the police in vestigation Friday evening, an innoya- tion will be introduced to-day when the first day session of the citizens com mission will be held-9 a. ID. being the hour appointed for the opening of the proceedings in the aldeFmanio chamber. Owing to the occupancy of the cham Der by the medical examining board on Tuesday and Wednesday. day ses- sions will be abandoned on those days, i but whether or not night sessions will be held on those occasions could not be learned last evening. .....
 According to Dean Rogers, it is not the purpose of the commission to hold day sessions excusively, the members feeling that such actions might debar some citizens who are unable to leave their business, and who might shed some light on the subject in hand. For this reason evening sessions are also scheduled, although the dates have not lyet been decided upon.
 'No one" said Dean Rogers Satur- day evening will be debarred from pre- senting information to the commission through inability to attend day ses- sions, as we shall hold evening hearings also. We wish to give every one an opportunity to appear, but we believe we can expedite matters by holding day hearings when practicable"
 Among the witnesses to be called to- tday are three members of the police force to whom reference was made by Professor YandeII Henderson in a state Ement concerning the investigation of Ethe assault upon Miss Augusta Peter son, the trio including Sergeant Bow .eTs, Sergeant McGrath and Policeman Taylor. all of the fourth precinct, or Dixwell avenue station. It had been hoped that they wound be heard last Friday evening. but only Captain Cowles of the detective bureau and De ttective McGrath were reached.
 or the other witnesses it is expected Ithat former Alderman Truenlan and Charles A. Rich will positively appear while other persons named by Captain E. L. Isbell, clerk of the city court land City Attorney Howard c. Webb may also be invited to speak.
 According to a lawyer interested in the proceedings, the witnesses named Eby Captain IsbeIl are largely those whc itestified at the republican state con lvention in behalf of Captain Isbells contentious. Captain Isbell himself de clines to give any hint of his witnesses identity.
 No provision being made by the char. ter for recompensing such commissions for their labors, the trio of citizens conducting the present investigation will receive no pecuniary reward fol Etheir work. All other expenses, such al lstenographerss fees and ineidentals will be met with drafts upon the sun dry account Of the contingent account tUntil the hearings are concluded nc accurate estimate of the cost of th' investigation can be made.
