4 WORD IN ADDITION.

It is impossible to acknowledge the many letters of congratulation which have been received in this office from every part of the State and surround ing country. Nor is it clear, if we should undertake the pleasant task, how we could adequately express our appreciation of the hundreds of new readers who have fiocked to our sup port. We believe is to be an unprece- dented fact that newspaper should in such few moments commend itself to so many new readers on the faith of the written promise to make good, but whether 1t is unprecedented or not, it has had that sobering effect upon our now more than ever organized en- thusiasm which coppels us to be ad- ditionally intelligent and persistent in keeping erect the high standard we have set for the Journal and Courier. Faith in oneself becomes controlling spirit when it Is met by such faith in us as has been expressed within the past few hours.

f9s failures in the same month last year when liabilities amounted to SS,O59, ,649. The increase over last years losses oc- cured in manufacturing bankruptcies. 21S failures for s6.OSO,S41 comparing with 1s7 defaults in 1906 when liabili- ties aggregated only $2,12232S. Last years insolvencies in this class were abnormally light, only one year in the past decade showing a smaller total, yet this years increase was supplied by thirteen failures, the record otherwise showing little alteration. Trading fail ures were 54S in number against 575 in 1906, while liabilities of $3,485,251 were slightly larger than the S3,190,302 re- corded a year ago. There were 3S oth- CT commercial failures for $1,536, 504 against S1 last year when the amount involved was S2,74T,0 ,019, There were five banking failures for $633, SC9, against three last year with liabilities Of $52O,- GOO, six failures In 1905 for $1,559, 900 and sixteen failures three years ago, when the indebtedness rose to $4,357,- 900. Liabilities in April were about sS,- 00o,00O larger than in the same month of 1906 and 1905, owing to the few losses of an exceptional size but the aggregate was smaller than in April of the two years preceding 1905, and there is no evidence of fundamental unsoundness in the rec ord for last month.
 It is surprising that there were not more failures among brokerage and real estate concerns, owing to the de- pression in Wall Street and financial pressure that made it difficult to se- cure extensions of maturing loans in connection with some large building ventures. The backward spring season also retarded comemreial collections in many sections of the country and the net result is on the whole encourag- ing as an indication of the current situation and the outlook for the fu- ture.

coy. WooDRUFF HAS COMPANY.

These are warm days for Governors with minds and wills and tongues of their own, as Governor Woodruff is dis covering. He is not alone. Governor Hughes of New York is also being "re- buked," turned down." etc, etc. And he isn't standing 1t as patiently as Governor Woodruff is. He has discov- cred that he has weapon to defend himself with, and he is going to use it. He has already hit some of his oppo- nents right where they live" His message to the legislature recommend ! ing the passage of "a new apportion- ment act which will redistrict the State so as to provide such equality of rep resentation as can be had under the constitutional provisions, and of such a character as to be of unquestioned validity and commend itself to the iTi- telligent Judgment of the people" has made large futter because such an apportionment would end the political existence of dozen of the "Old Guard'' representing small districts, and seri- ously embarrass men like Senator Raines, whose return would be prob lematical since their districts are no- toriously and absurdly small.
 An interesting situation in both New York and Connecticut. And 1t looks very much as If the people of both States were decidedly with their cour- ageous Governors.

PRETTY UL1IMATE,

MT. Bryan Is in favor of the .'ul- innate ownership of the railroads by the government. Nebraska is his own beloved State and it's legislature, which has just adjourned, seems to have been in favor of not stopping this side of the ultimate in its legislation concerning railroads. It planned to put the rail- roads out of politics by requiring that all candidates for office, except presi- dertial electors and minor municipal officers, shall be nominated by direct primaries instead of in party conven- tpns. Congressman and United states Senators must now secure their nom- nations at primaries of their parties. The State pays all the expenses of the primary election, which is held all over the State on the first Tuesday of Sep tcmber, and thus becomes State elec- tion by parties for all candidates
 The pass restriction is as stringent as 1t can be made. No one except a railroad employe can have pass, and an employe, to entitle him to ride free, is required to give the greater part of his time to the railroad service. The | fine for anybody else who accepts a pass runs from $100 to $1,000. Then | the list of pass holders has to be filed every month for public inspection. To the State Railroad Commission has been given the power to regulate rates and have general and far-reaching supervisory powers over all common carriers, specified as railroads, express, telephone, telegraph, sleeping car, in- terurban and street railroad compan- ies The railroads may appeal from an order of the Commission to the courts, | but the burden of proof is placed upon the appealing company to prove that the rate or ruling complained of Is un- reasonable.
 A fine of $1O0 day Is provided for officer, or agent or attorney of any cor poration, person CT firm, who Hobbies for any measure or person, or corpora tion before the State legislature. The only legitimate efforts to influence leg lislative action are expressly defined as briefs or arguments made before com mittees, public addresses. and commit nications to newspapers, Any person who wishes to indulge in this public form of advocacy must register himself as a lobbyist, and file a statement of the purposes of his employment, and the amount of pay he is to receive for lit. The assessors of cities are permit ted to put their own valuation on sta- tion and terminal properties of rail- roads for municipal taxation, and this change will cost the railroads hundreds of thousands in increased taxation. Another law makes horizontal reduce ton of fifteen per cent in the present rates on grain, coal, lumber and some other commodities
 It is not to be imagined that MT. Bryan is responsible for such leglsla- ton in his State on the theory that it iwould bring his ultimate nearer, but 1 it may do so. The way many of the State legislatures have attacked the railroad problem indicates the size and complications of the problem, and also indicates the need of some adequate dealing with it at Washington, if there car. be any,

DIRECT PRIMARY.

We can quite agree with the Hart ford Times that 1t is not surprising u at the legislature approaches the consid- eration of the proposed direct primary law, which was prepared with such care by the state commission, of which the Hon. John H. Perry of Southport is chairman, with mincing steps, but we cannot agree that 1t is because there are Serious defects in it. Likely enough 1t is not perfect measure, and we have yet to find perfection in leg isis tion, but it Is a comprehensive, well thought out and practical scheme for the popular nomination of men for of- lfice, provided the political conditions of the state are favorable to its en- forcement
 The Times states that the opposition which is developing in the general as- senably to the proposed bill Is, however, more due to the fear that if enact- ed into law it would "break the power of the republican machine which main tains Its ascendency through controlling nominations to the legislature. It is not necessary for one to dig that deep in order to get at the source of all op- position to such proposed legislation, The very object of direct nominating machinery is to undo every sort of political bossing by making 1t easy and convenient for the people to do their own bosslng in their own way. If this was not the dominating purpose thu scheme of direct nominations would never have been devised. It was the abuse of their chartered rights by the interstate railroads of the country that led to the enactment of the se- we're laws restricting them in their con- duct It was by no manner of means a step forward in the science of free government because of which we are Justified in felicitations it Is rather one of those necessities of paternal gov- lernment which experience has made Inevitable. It would have been better for all concerned had the railroads played the game fair in the first place, and not made punitive legislation im- portant and essential. It would have been better for the insurer and the in- sIred had the insurance companies de- Iveloped less greed and more old fash Iiored honesty. Much legislation, which has since been enacted and discussed,
 would then not have been enacted and discussed.
 The direct primary legislation of the country has been conceived in the de- termination to exterminate the politic- lat boss without regard to the particular political party he happens to be att ltached to, and 1t has all been conceiv- ed because he, too, has abused the trust put in him. He has wanted to be the whole thing and the only thing, and the American people, with a characteristic regard for their independence, have be- gun to scratch around to cheekmate lhim. The difficulty in enforcing the principle in the State of Connecticut lies not with the principle, but with the inordinate number of offices to be filled at the polls. It is that condition which made the commission reeom- mend that the principle be applied in part only at first. It is that condition, too, which should lead the general as- sen bly, to either continue the present commission, or appoint a new one, charged with the study of elective of

 when everything was new And you were living in the land Of
 things you meant to do It takes you to the rainbow which

 so radiantly near That one might pluck them from the

 fair e'er to be true, They dwell back wonder in the land ot things we meant to do. Washington Star

 The city fathers in Cardiff, in Wales, have been greatly surprised because there has been no application made for the Butte dowry this year. As rule the competition is keen. The applt- csnts are mostly domestic servants, whose employers interest themselves ill their behalf. The dowry, which amounts to about $150, was instituted by the late Marquis of Butte. on the oc- casion of his silver wedding. He placed in the hands of the mayor of Cardiff $5,0O0, the yearly income from which was to be given to some girl of the poorer classes in Cardiff. whose mar riage might be impeded for the want of such sum- The mayor, under the conditions of the dowry, has to re- mind the recipients immediately after the religious ceremony of the origin of the gift. and he has to read to them the first eleven verses of the second chapter of St. Johns gospel, which de- scribe the marriage at Cana in Gali- lee
