Characteristic LiIlcy Arguments.


 The art of saying few things in many words has been developed to its highest degree by our esteemed friend, Colonel Norris c. osborn of the New Haven Journal Courier. Just at pres ent he is engaged In proving that Lil- ley is a gone goose and that Governor Woodruff ought to be renominated, and great is the flow of ink The Woodruff boom Is taken half-heartedly, even in New Haven, because the governor him self doesn't happen to want to be re- nominated. The boom Is generally sup posed to be in the interest of Lake, who is, we trust, paying at least the post age on the heavyweight editorials which are being mailed to politicians about the state. The boom occasions some surprise, some resentment and a good deal of amusement, particularly, as the Hartford Post remarks, because It Is fathered by distinguished dem- ocraf like the colonel, It Is pleasing to note how ingenlously the colonel has enlarged his facilities for the occasion. Ills long time habit has been to write a verbose editorial in his paper on a week day, On the following Sunday as "Trumbull' In the New York Herald he will refer to his own opinions ap- provingly. and on the Monday copy back into his paper what he thinks as "Trumbull" about what he said him. self, Thus he has been able to make a sound like real noise.
 Another bureau has now been added 10 the publicity department The col onel writes anonymous communications to himself as editor, pats the writer on the back edItorlally and calls the at tention of "Trumbull' 10 1t in time for Sunday. Thus the plate Is kept sptn- ming. It Is all very amusing

was shown Judge Case that a man standing outside the curtain of one of tho machines could not possibly tell how q man inside was voting, Out of fourteen guesses made upoa the basis of the clicking of the levers ten were wrong.
 The objectors had one ilne of argu- ment to fall back upon. They asked If voting machine should break down upon election day wht ther there would be any way to insure to the voter secret ballot. Upon that mat ter arguments were heard and the judge reserved decision, though 1t was confidently expected that nc would not side with the objectors. The past history of the voting ma chimes would testify that they do not break down at the critical moment so that the argument Is largely a hyperthetlcal one. IT, however, It might be imagined that one had brok- en, 1t would not be impossible to keep one in reserve. just as at present an extra supply of paper ballots Is we'll to have In case anything happens 10 those at the polls.
 The voting machines, then, insure the secrecy of the ballot, and, doing that, are constitutional. Any doubt on that point should be removed from the minds of the New Haven alder men, who have yet to leal with the matter. They have no other course than to approve of their adoption. It is not a matter for party division but for unanimous action by both parties Mayor Martin has asked for com petition between the manufacturers. Let that be had and speedily After 1t, they should return to their first conclusion with favorable vote.

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

President Roosevelt never delivered Ia more characteristic address than that delivered before officers of the navy at Newport Wednesday, It was full of the Roosevelt fire and determination. It recalls what former Secretary of the Navy Long said of him when he was that gentleman's assistant. Mir. Long said that every morning he found his desk covered with suggestions from his energetic assistant the most of which, he ironically remarked, had been previously considered and dis posed of
 This by no means proves that Mir. Long was right in his conclusions and that Mir Roosevelt was wrong, but 1t does show from the viewpoint of today the actual difference in Judgment be- tween the two men as to the conduct of the navy department. If President Roosevelt Is right in his contention, that if to have opinions which are to be enforced by the government means the possession of the tools which make en- forcement possible, there are not two sides to the proposition. "1 want" he says. "a first class fighting navy or no navy at all, because first class fight ing navy is the most effective g,ipran- tee of peace this nation can have" This preconceives on the part of this nation ambitions and undertakings which might offend other nations. There arc always a number of amiable and well meaning people, says the President, "who believe In having navy mere ly for coast defense. A purely defen- sive navy would be almost worthless. To advocate such navy Is like advo- eating school of prize fighting in which no one should do anything but parry
 This puts clearly and in new form the doctrine of the strenuous life, but it comes at time nevertheless when the ! trend of mems minds is towards the l simple life. The consequences oI strenuosity have not been such as to |
 discourage one's faith in the conse- quences of simplicity. 1t will be in- teresting to watch and see what re. sponse the President gets from the country in his new demand for addi. tional fighting weapons. General Grants Let Us Have Peace" seems 6 long way off.

STATE RESOURCES.

Governor Guild, of Massachusetts is rivalling the president himself in his zeal to conserve resources. Fol lowing close upon his recently an- nounced decision to act favoraby up- on the petition of the Springfield board of trade and call conference of New England governors to consid- CT the resources of this section of the country, comes his appointment of a state commission to act in cooperation with the national conservation com mission with special reference to Mas sachusetts wealth or scarcity of re- sources in various lines The Bay State thus leads off the New England states, but, In view of the fact that the governors have agreed to meet for second conference with the pres- ident at Washington on December sth next, then to submit extended re- ports and data Of local conditions and to consider a synopsis of recommen- dations to be presented by the presi- dent to congress, the action of Cover nor Guild seems not at all too pre- vious.
 Connecticut has, or should have, no less interest in the conservation and development of It's resources. It's commercial men can only hope that a similar state commission will be ap- pointed here by Governor Woodruff and that speedily. Connecticut has many resource problems of its own. It is practical aim that the presi- dent and the governors have in mind and practical, not theoretical or aca- demic investigations can best bring about that end. Such investigations take time to carry out The Massa- 'chusetts commission. as appointed.

 "A foreigner has beaten us,"
 They answered with a groan; "A foreiener-Unlted States
 A fellow named Malone" A dozen men were crouched to start, and the starter fired the gun; And as bow projects dart, the men were off to run Who wins it?" cried the eager crowf. Who captures this event?" And the German sprinters, sad and bowed, retired upon their tent. "A foreigner has conquered us,"
 They said. and winced bit "A foreigner-United States
 His name is Otto Schmidt" The hurdle race was duly called, and the starter fired the shot; And some there were were overhauled, and some there were were not. "Who wins it?" cried the multitude. Who wins this last event?' And the Frenchmen, beaten and sub- dued. retired upon their tent. "A foreigner outhurdled us,'
 They said with little heart; "A foreigner-Unlted States
 A man named Bonaparte." The running jump was on the card, and men went high aloft; And some men hit the island hard, anf others hit It soft. Who wins it?" cried the eager mass. Who captures this event?" And the Swedish Jumpers sadly passed, retiring on their tent.

A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.

A recent amendment to the consti- tuition of this state provides that the use of voting machines in elections shall be legal provided every means to safeguard the secrecy of the bal lot shall be had. An unsuccessful at tempt has been made by certain Bridgeporters to prove that the voting machine does not insure this secrecy that is demanded of 1t and that there fore the machines should be held un- constitutional by the courts. lii view of the fact that the voting machine question has not been finally settled ih New Haven, either one way or the other, the latest chapter in Bridgeport voting machine matters will be of in- mediate interest here.
 In Bridgeport, the voting machine proposition was passed by the alder men over the mayors veto, and the city attorney and city clerk were em- powered to enter into q contract with the manufacturers.
