WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. &c. 1906

THE FOLLOWING resolutions adopted
under the direction of Charles F. Murphy
at meeting of the Tammany general
committee on the 18th of last March are
reproduced. They we're in order at the
time they we're adopted aud are more so
now when the advocates of socialism are
conducting a vigorous propaganda 10
every city in the country;
Every proposal that municipality assume
operation of all public utilities and reduce
rates to persons using them, regardless OF
what the service may actually cost, is an at
tempt to force some men TO bear the expenses
of others. because where the outlay for ope-
ration exceeds earnings the deficit must he
made I'D by taxation, and this we denounce as
socialistic. and therefore hostile tOjustice and
subversve Of democratic government.
We denounce the socialism which seeks 10
make government the sole agent oil prOduetiop
as nothing less than a p. oposal to re-estaD ,sh
the institution of tyranny and industrial
slavery which persisted before the advance OF
Christian civilization. For the very essence
of despotism is 10 vest in the state abSoiu'e
control of all industry, and therefore owner,
ship of all its products: while the essence Oh
democracy is to confirm in every man the
right 10 dispose of his own labor and possess
in peace everything produced by it. Weo nd
il TO be self-evident that ifgovernment assume
fhe whole control of production 1t would be

Realizing every sOcialistic proposal, how :
ever cunningly disguised under sonorous but
misleading phrases, to be step leading IN
eyitably toward the re-establishment OF des-
Dotism in government and servjtnde IN LABOR,
the democratic party must always be vigiian'
in unmasking It and inAexible in opposing a.

Withdrawn from the race, and it is prsc.

for Governor to the convention today.
All opposition to Hughes has completely
ceased. Lieutenant Governor Bruce told
Chairman Parsons he would second
Hughes nomination. No defiuite decis-
ion has been reached about the nominee
for Lieutenant Governor.
Hughes friends say they have enough
voters TO nominats him on the first bal
lot. Conferences between the leaders OF
the various factions lasting until day
light today failed to clear the situation.
Herbert Parsons, of the New York coun-
ty delegation, told the conferees that
Hughes name would be presented posi-
lively. Parsons had heard from Oyster
Bay and it was talked among the dele
gates that President Roosevelt had COM
menced swinging the big stick.

for Governor and W. Linn Bruce for
Lieutenant Governor.
Hughes was nominated by unani-
nous vote when the convention met.

A MEMORIAL WINDOW.

A MEMORIAL WINDOW.
A memorial window has just been
placed In Trinity church to perpetuate
the memory of Joseph Ferris, who was
quite prominent in this church Gen.
was a farmer in Palestine district.
It is thought his home was where Mrs
Oliver NOrthrop now resides. In 1925
he decided parts of his homestead to
his daughter, Ruth, and to his grand
daughter, Jerusha Skidmore. His
name appears frequently in the church
records from 1899 to 1914 as vestryman,
delegate to the Diocesan convention
and one o: commit e "having in
charge monies Of the parish" He
died In 1888 The sum of $3.50 was be-
queathed to the parish by his great
granddaughter, Mrs Jane Ann Skid
more Burr, who died in Redding over
year ago, on condition that such a
memorial window should be placed in
the church. The matter was placed
by the yestry in the hands Of Rev
James II. George and Daniel G.. Beers
as q committee to carry out the terms
Of the will. The contract was made
with r. Geissler of New York City.
The subject Of the window is 1.-The
Resurrection Morning." showing the
angel sitting by the open tomb at the
visit of the two MarYs. The artist has
been very successful in producing a
picture fine in design and rich in col
oring. He has also made a window
harmonious in its general character
with the other memorial windows and
with the decoration of the interior of
the church. At the service Sunday
morning, December 81, when it f1rst
appeared, the rector made allusion to
the gift and to the character of Mr.

to perpetuate.

The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1906-01-05

The movement for public water
supply for Newtown is a matter Of
greater importance than most people
imagine, as it affects the future pros.
perity of the town. While The BEE
would like to see the plan adopted
which will produce the largest results,
we shall welcome such a project as
that proposed by Messrs Morris and
Leonard. II the people blessed with
wealth in our midst will only show.a
proper public spirit there is no doubt
but that the larger source of supply
can be tapped. A lamentable lack of
public spirit has been the cause of the
slumber on this question in the past
The opportunity now presents itself
for them to do something for them
selves and their peighbors. Water
stocks are always good dividend pay
ers, and The BEE believes a water
company here would soon be on pay
ing basis.
