Il BLOW FOR FREEDOM,

Government without the consent of
the governed doesn't seem to go in the
town of Mellette, South Dakota, where
the common council, composed, of
course, of men, responded to the com
plant of husbands that their wives
were devoting too much time to bridge
whist by passing a stringent ordinance
against the game. This ordinance.
which the councilmen seemed to
imagine could be enforced imposed
a fine of from $25 to 500 and several
days Imprisonment upon any woman
found guilty of playing bridge whist.
The women of Mellette held an indig-
nation meeting which was one, passed
resolutions denouncing oppression and
made such demonstration that the
town marshal, bachelor, resigned his
Office. Now bridge whist parties are
more popular than ever.
OF course, Has not woman ever
been foremost in the fight for free
dom? Was it not She who was quick

Assembly as well fortified to judge Of
local needs as the locality affected.
The great interest we took in the
movement to establish a uniform char
ter policy for all Connecticut cities
was largely dictated by the belief that
it would the sooner lead to genuine
home rule for Connecticut cities by
combining the jurisdiction of the State
to the essentials and by giving the
cities in all matters of strictly local
Importance full control. All the GLIB
berish that was talked with regard to
the contrary traditions of different cit
les was as nothing In the balance with
the progress which can alone come
from local independence in all things
affecting local life. Plainly the thing
to do now is to agitate fer the neces-
sary changes in the constitution which
will establish the inherent right of To-
callties to govern themselves in their
own way. 1t is bound to come and If
the public service corporations see fit
to get in the way so much the worse
for them.

CONDENSED.

Yesterday Summer seemed to take a
notion that if she was to get herself
properly noticed she must condense
herself and not try to spread out. So
she condensed, and gave us a speci-
men of what a Summer whose coming
was denied by prophets can do. The
sample was convincingly sufficient and
there is no disposition around here to
turn up the nose of scorn at the
Summer Of 1907. It wont be as
celebrated in Connecticut as it will be
in Texas, where they are digging pota-
toes already baked, where the hens
are laying fried eggs, and the corn is
popping on the cob, but it will have
a fair fame.
No prophet has arisen to predict
that there will not be a Winter next
time there ought to be one, but If
there is one who thinks of arising and
so predicting he will do well to consid-
er what has happened to Prophet Da-
boil and the earlier prophet of 1897.
Prophecy isn't lost art, but It is a
dangerous one.

NEWSPAPER GRATUITTEs.

The General Assembly Of 1907 has
made it clear that that branch of the
State government will never voluntar-
lily give up the practice of voting gra-
tuitles to newspaper workers. The
scandal Of the practice has been dis
cussed for years. This year representa-
tive newspaper publishers and editors
appeared before the committee and OPP
posed the grant upon the soundest Of
grounds, that the men were paid for
their work by their employers; that
whether they are or not the State
should not undertake to estimate the
value Of their services.
The new situation is now plainly up
to the newspapers themselves. They
are helpless unless they take the mat
ter into their own hands and agree
among themselves to forbid their EN-
ployes accepting gifts from the State
upon pain Of instant dismissal. The
Journal and Courier will gladly pledge
itself now to follow that course not
Only as a source Of protection to the
taxpayers of the State but as means
of protecting the newspaper business
from poisonous practice which does
more to injure its influence than any
one thing.
1t may be admitted that the prac-
tice has grown up from a really re-
spectacle beginning and that even now
its character is more one to be con-
rdemned on the ground of improperly
than graft but it has nevertheless
come under such vehement discussion
that its continuance can only end in
seriously injuring the power of the
press. Let's be done with it once for
all and in the right spirit.

A MAsSICHUS ETTS MoVE,

Massachusetts,, like Connecticut, leans
to government by commission. and
Governor Guild has just appointed the
commission to consider, under legisla-
tive resolve, the question Of insurance
and old age pensions for wage-earners
of the Commonwealth The first mem
Der Of the commission, designated as
chairman by the governor, Is Hon. n
$. Bradford Of Springfield. veteran
public man Of exceptionally good equip
ment, with a creditable legislative rec
ord years ago, and further service
as State Treasurer. The representative
Of labor on the commission, required
by the terms of the resolve, is Mr.. Ar
thur w Hubben of Chelsea, the pres
ident Of the Boston Central Labor I'm
ion, whose right to speak for organized
labor in the greatest and most popu-
lous Of Massachusetts, communities
cannot be questioned The employers
who are interested in this question are
well represented by Mr., James w
Prendergast Of Boston, a citizen of
public spirit, and director in the
Boston Elevated Railroad So many
Massachusetts, wage-earners are wo-
mon that 1t is fit and necessary that
one of the commission should be of
this sex, and the governor has chosen
Mrs N. r. Holder Of Brookllne, who
has had valuable experience in the
consideration of this very question of
old-age pensions and insurance for
wage-earners last year by. the Wo-
mems Educational and Industrial Un-
ion. The fifth member Of the commits
sion, rounding 1t out with an equip
ment Of professional authority, is Dr.
James P, Buckley, the city physician
of the characteristic Massachusetts in
dustrial community of Marlboro.
This commission will undoubtedly
thoroughly study the questions it
is set to study, and viii make val
liable report, which may be acted on
by the legislature, and may be treated
as valuable reports of commissions
have been treated by the Connecticut
legislature. But however the report of
this commission is treated it is decid-
eddy interesting that Massachusetts is
moving in the matter. Probably Con-
necticut soon will be.

4 SENSIBLE CELFRRATTON.

Is it possible that Mexico is as sem
sible as the United States? Probably
not in most matters, but she is going
to celebrate the centennial Of her ma
tional independence which falls on
September 16, 1910, in a way which
looks quite as sensible as the way in
which the United States celebrates its
independence. The Mexican celebra-
ton, while of a festive and patriotic
nature, will be on practical lines, The
main feature will be the simultaneous
starting of public improvements,
which will be of general and lasting
benefit, in nine hundred cities and
towns of the Republic. 1t is estimat-
ed that the average cost of these
municipal enterprises will be 800. 900,
and the total amount which will be
spent on the various projects before
completion will Approximate 100000.
OOO. The municipal authorities are
expected to be prepared to begin, on
the said date, water works, drainage
systems, market houses, public build

may be needed. Three years time is
given to raise the money to start these
enterprises. This plan was suggested
by President Diaz, and the National
