The L,li.y of Connecticut.


 And yet a nomination which is an afront to the best clements of the re- publican party, and which was made In defiance of tho specific protest of the principal business Interests of the state, cannot be politically advantageous, It Is certain to excite anlmoslties which win hurt the republicans. Nothing In the history of Connecticut politics, says R New Haven dispatch to the Bos. ton Transcript, ''ls even analogous to tho formal protest entered by the con ference of manufacturers to the repub- lIcan state committee the evening be. fore the nomination for governor or Congressman Lllley, and it ls feared that the end Is not yet"
 The country towns where Lilley is said to be very strong are republican in any case but the state as q whole, with the silver issue out of the way, is a close one, and the opposition of tha mamnufacturers as e class and the dis credit branded upon Lilley by the house of representatives, which came near expelling him. cannot but draw off votes from him and cut of some of the pecunlary supplies. The country towns have an influence In the legislature disproportionate to their population, but In the choice of governors, con. gressmen and presidential electors ono man has only one vote, In country or city, and tho New Haven Journal CourIer's declaration that Lilley's nom nation Is mad work Is likely to be verified,

not appear to work badly there, Since Governor Morris put his shoulder 10 the task of elevating the bench Of Connecticut, and since the law was amended giving the governor the ap- pointment of Judges of the courts of common pleas, the Connecticut prac- tice has worked admirably II Is no longer possible or conceivable that a governor would remove a competent Judge for partisan reasons, At the same time we favor the democratic suggestion to elect local judges AS an immense improvement over the pre- valing manner of selecting them, They should be appointed by the gov ernor, who would thus be able to pe- gin to prepare judges for the supreme bench by entering them for their ap- premiership in the lowest courts, put until that Is done any scheme of ap- polntmcnt which forbds local judges to remain in active and machine pol itics for the single purpose of pulling off the job Is preferable. It Is a polit- | ical scandal that local judgeships should 20 exclusively to those who play the game,
 For exactly the same reason the county commissioners should be either appointed by the governor or elected hy the people. We have always got ten excellent results in New Haven by the elective system as It applies to the | probate court, and it Is perfectly sure that we should get like satisfaction If the elective system was extended 10 cover county commissioners, As 1t Is ls now. the county commissioners of the state And their fitness established by the amount of political work they do for a single party. They are re- cruited from the dominant party ln- variably because the same party al ways has control of the general as- semhly. Connecticut would be much better of if all judges were appoint ed by the governor and the county commissioners elected by the people

Most Excellent.
tspringheld Republican.) )

In the adjoining state of Connecticut, the democratic convention has display ed reunion of the clements hardly less conspicuous than that at Rochester. The Connecticut situation has its own peculiar phases and to them the demo- cratic convention addressed itself with success. The nomination of Judge Rob ertson for governor was most excellent, not only In the personal contrast 1t af- lords with that of the republican candi- date, Mir. Lilley but also in the fact that the judge passed through the or deal of the campaign of 1904 with much credit to himself. Although Parker lost Connecticut by over SS,000 votes, Judge Robertson in that year, as democratic candidate for governor, reduced the re- publican plurality to some 25,0)0. He is an able man, and would give Con necticut an excellent administration on progressive lines. The democratic platform, too, Is one that embodes many reforms most desirable for the state 10 have, and If Connecticut votes for Taft and Robertson 1t will make the best possible choice, under the con ditons that confront 1t.

THE ELECTION OF JUDGES.

There are parts Of the platform adopted by the democratic party at their Hartford convention to which our old friend and counsellor, the Hartford Courant objects. For ex- ample: They demand the election of city and borough judges by popular ballot Why stop there? Why not the state judges, too? The logic of their demand requires them to go the whole length; If what they really want Is to substitute the New York elective judiciary system for the system under which Connecticut has lived from the colonial times, they should have hon- estly said SO"
 We hasten to assure our contempo- rary that We agree with what we take to be its attitude on the manner of elccting members of the judiciary It would be a misfortune to introduce the New York system though it does

COMMISSIONER pISGBAN.

Next to the man whose judgment Is so faultless that it may never bo call cd into question, if indeed such men really exist, that man may be admired most who has the wisdom to realize when his judgment has been bad and the courage to hasten to make known his realization of that fact lt takes ones wisdom has been at fault It takes more wisdom to realize that 1t is the wisest course to admit that fact Col. George Harvey when he lectured on Journalism at Yale last spring, made some exceptional statements many excellent and some to be ques- toned. But of the former he took no more commendahle stand than when he gave It as his opinion that any newspaper that openly acknowledged its mistakes in its columns bettered Its reputation everywhere.
 Police Commissioner Bingham. of New York, has made a good head for the "blue-coats' of that city on the whole. There was, however, no little surprise and considerable unfavorable comment not long ago when the com missioners came out with the unvar- nished statement that experience had shown that with the million Hebrews in New York, most of them, Russian, making up as they do ne-fourth of the city's population. fully one-half of the criminal classes were made up from them; an alarming proportion. The statement was an unwise one to make, even if 1t was true, but now the com l missioner himself admits that he had l been misled into making it and. like a | gentleman, he fatly refuses even to mako known the person who imposed upon his credulity in this regard.
 As a matter of fact the percentage of criminals among the Hebrews whc come to our shores Is not inconsder. able, Whether 1t is a greater percen. tage than that of the Italians. the Savs or the score of other classes |, not of great moment, except perhap. as q matter of private information with the prosecuting officers of tho | law. Says Commissioner Bingham now: My purpose in writing the arti cle was not to publish statistics, nol to enter Into scientific inquiry Into the race or religion of those charged with crimnality, but solely to make ( plea for secret service fund in order that criminality might be more effec tually dealt with than Is now possible. That is an excellent Idea. Especial, in a complete and great city, like New York, Is detection amng those foreigr elements advisable along the sam, general lines as prevail in their owr home countries, Abroad the secre service department among the police produces excellent results. At times to be sure, 1t has led to regrettabl, excesses, but on the whole the idea i a proper one and worthy of adoption in America wherever the foreign ee me pts become threatening.
 Somewhat along Commissioner I}ing hab's idea, our own New Haven |. nov using Italian detectives to ferret o,l Italian criminals The idea Is com mendable and is worthy of adoptio, as regards other races.

without sleep for several nights prev

night following his arrival at the jail
he slept soundly until late the next
day and the following evening was
perfectly rational.
