It Is a pity that partisan differences
Of opinion as to the usefulness Of the
referendum In enacting legislation
should close the eyes of any clear-sight-
ed man to the issue involved in the
controversy. 1t may be a good thing,
or 1t may be a poor thing. Whether 1t
Is a good thing or poor thing, it can
not be fifty considered In the State of
Connecticut until representative gov
eminent has been long enough estab-
lished here to offer an opportunity to
decide upon the need and the merit
Of the referendum.
The criticism we have to offer upon
the recent more or less impatient dis
cussion Of the proposed referendum is
that 4 was not provoked by serious
understanding Of its usefulness or use
lessness. 1t was provoked by rivalry
over proposed bond issues, three Of
them in number, which should have
been considered separately and without
reference to each other. Had it not oc-
CURED to somebody to hitch them up
together and then let the popular good
roads movement lug all three through
ct one time, we should have been SPAR
ed the lectures we have received upon
the sublimity of this new political dis
coyery in the realms Of politics. The
reference of the new corrupt practices
act to the people would at least have
possessed the merit of not attempting
to fool the electorate with the idea that
1t had suddenly come into its own.
The people Of the State Of Connecti-
cut need waste no time considering new
tangled notions of government. Their
task is to consider the government they
have. WlaeE that has been resettled up
Sz5n the basis originally built for IT, the
experimentalist may be given fling.
Before an appeal is made to public sem
tirnent there should be way for pub
lie sentiment to record itself. At pres
ent that is impossible in this State. Let
the horse be placed wher he belongs,
ahead Of the cart.

STILL PURSUING.

The gypsy moth continues to be in
teresting and important, and 1t may
ALREADY be much more important to
Connecticut than it is interesting. Our.
neighbor Massachusetts is paying
million dollars a year in futile efforts
to beat it, and some say there isn't
money enough In Massachusetts to do
it. About the only hope there seems
to be Is in the discovery and appli-
cation of the proper parasite, 1t being
very evident that those who are para
sites on the States treasury are not
succeeding In annihilating the moths.
THE hunt for proper parasites Is going
actively and scientifically on. Twenty
scientific men in Europe and two paid
agents are lending their assistance to
send parasites to, Massachusetts, to
feed on the moths. At Kiev garden
is leased, wherein to watch the growth
of parasites, and at the right season
to ship them to Boston. At Kishlneff
the services Of scientific man have
been secured to send parasites, SINH
lar arrangements have been made in
the Crimea, at Vienna and in other
places. OF the twenty kinds Of para
sites already imported six have taken
hold in Massachusetts, and are doing
good work. Their work is yet on
small scale, for they must spread and
multiply before they win be adequate
to cope with the situation.
Success to the Massachusetts, folks in
their warfare. II the gypsy moth is
exterminated in Massachusetts, per-
haps 1t can bee in Connecticut, and
that. too, without a referendum on
bond-issue to provide funds for such
determination.

ONWARD AND UPWARD.

Awhile ago it seemed that Woman
would be contented If she could get
equality with Man, But her divine
discomfort will not allow her to finger
long on the low plane which Man is
contented to occupy Mrs. Mary X
O'sullivan, in meeting under the
auspices Of the national woman's trade
union league at Boston Sunday, de-
clared the old equality stand dead
issue, and pleaded for scale that will
place Woman above Man. She main
tanned that most working women have
more responsibilities than the men do
ing similar work, and argued that a
mother supporting family should
have two-thirds more wages than the
father on the ground that she has to
get some one to look out for her chill
dren.
She can't be headed off, and why
should she be? The race belongs to
the swift, and that is where it usually
goes.

CANApA,s sUNpAr QUESTION.

Middletown in this State had one
"closed Sunday" and she didn't like II.
Canada is now squirning under the
new Lords Day act, which was the
outcome of strenuous agitation by the
Lords Day Alliance, many Of whose
members are Of Scottish descent, and so
rather strict in their Sunday notions.
But all the people in Canada don't be-
long to the Lords Day Alliance. Some
Of them have joined the Rational Sum
day League, which stands for the right
ID buy and sell refreshments and nom
intoxicating drinks, popular lectures
and music In halls and parks, the open
ing Of museums and art galleries and a
limited measure of Sunday trade. The
league, although only recently founded,
already has numerous, representative
and constantly growing membership.
II is highly probable that If the RAJ
tional Sunday League of Canada keeps
itself rational 1t will be able to modify
the work OF the Lords Day Alliance.
There are probably many people in
Canada who are in favor OF Sunday
which shall neither be closed nor wide
open.

Salvation Army Christmas Dinner.

About 125 people were served at
the Christmas dinner given by the
Salvation Army yesterday. Tables
were arranged in the rooms on the
second floor of the Fletcher block on
Water Street, the other tenants kind
ly permitting the use of their apart
ments with those occupied by Capt.
and Mrs. A. A. Bivans. The accom-
modations were sufficient for so at
one time and the tables were reset to
such an extent as was necessary, be-
tween the hours of II a. m. and 2 p.
m. until all we're served. The bill of
fare included roast pork with brown
gravy, mashed potatoes, squash,
green and beet pickles, cranberry
sauce, mince pie, doughnuts, cookies,
cheese and coffee. On departing,
each guest was presented with a bag
containing an orange and three ap-
Piles.
Members of the local Salvation
Army organization assisted Captain
and Mrs. Bivans in the necessary
preparations and in serving the din
ner and the citizens of the town re-
sponded generously to request for
funds and material necessary to pro-
vide 80 many dinners. Captain
Bivans wishes the public TO know of
the success of the affair and that
their aid was fully appreciated.
The annual children's concert Of
the Salvation Army will occur on the
evening of January 9Th. 1t is the
custom to provide some gift for each

goods in their own markets. Recent
instances of this kind have been ship

GOVERNOR STOKES PROCLAMATION

Governor Edward G Stokes has is
sued the following Thanksgiving pro-
clamation:
In accordance with the time honor
ed custom of our forefathers, day
is yearly set aside for special worship
and thanksgiving aud acknowle ledge
ment of the blessings we enjoy.
Many have been the trials and ser
ious dangers through which the ma
ton has passed since our forefathers
first gave praise. Today finds us a
people who have successfully sur
mounted great difficulties and who
have grown in the graces of civiliza-
ton, until we are an example and an
inspiration to all mankind.
We are not unduly exalted by our
material advancement, but are still
mindful OF the principles of morality
and citizenship upon which the repub
lie was founded. We have wealth
without avarice, strength without
tyranny, power without oppression.
We have sought to extend our
blessings to others and have used the
power that has been given us to pro-
mote the brotherhood of man. In
these privileges as nation, in our
material welfare as people and in
the spiritual comfort that has been
vouchsafed by Almighty God, we
have been beautifully favored.
Therefore l, Edward G. Stokes,
Governor of the State of New Jersey,
do designate Thursday. the twenty
eighth day of November, as q day Of
praise and thanksgiving, and do rec
ommend that the people gather in
places of religious worship and render
thanks to onr Heavenly Father for
the blessings of the past and present
and ask for His continual guidance in
the years to come. Given under my
hand and seal at Trenton, this four
teenth day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and seven.
