Property Righta

Private property, In the shape In
which we know It today, was chiefly
formed by the gradual Acknowledgement
Of the separate rights OF individuals
from the blended rights Of a communi-
ty. There Is every reason for believ-

individuals or even the isolated fam
lies, but to the patriarchal society as
a whole. In other words, property

lief He directed the conductor to let
him off at a stated corner which that

destination. At Bridgeport he was

We should like TO see this case car

tanned II there is no implied contract
between the railroad company and it's
patrons as to the obligation OF the for

the latter some rights in such a pre-

nOOsENELT on FARMING.

Mr.. Roosevelt executed coup
d'etet Wednesday. In a manner wor-
thy of hero of San Juan he eiuded
everybody but the reporters, who must
have been tipped off by him in ad-
vance, and made all speed for Jordan
vile, where he took part in the dedi-
cation of library building given that
village by his brother-in-law, Douglas
Robinson, and incidentally liberated
n few new ideas on his latest hobby,
the amelioraton of the condition Of
the farmer who doesn't want to be
ameliorated.
There can be few to disagree with
the president in his desire that the
country and countryside may prove
increasingly attractive, The problem
of the cities Is a grave problem and
its solution lies in this direction. But
when Mr.. Roosevelt says that he gets
impatient" with the individual who
goes to the city because he can find
no attraction In the country It is a
mood characteristic Of him and one
that will hinder, rather than aid him
In his latest undertaking In his i'm
patience TO see country-lfe, more uni
versally appreciated, he has determin-
ed to solve the whole question himself,
as If 1t could be solved in a day, and
he has appointed a commission to
compel the longed-for change. The
impression follows that his impotence
Is born Of wee love Of applause for
having accomplished things, and a
wee feeling Of cocksureness. The i'm
preston is furthered by his speech at
Jordanvllle, when, In the midst of a
dissertation on millionaires and hobo
oilers, Ideal young men, and fresh
air in bedrooms, he came to the sub
ject Of the farmers wife and said
The hardest worked Individual on

ON TIE FIRST BALLOT.

Two interesting announcements were
made yesterday one In Connecticut
and the other In New York. The Con-
necticut announcement was to the ef-
feet that enough Connecticut towns
had elected Liley delegates to the Re-
publican state convention to insure the
nomination of that gentleman on the
first ballot. The New York announce
ment was made by the political report
er of the New York Sun stationed at
the headquarters of the National Re-
publican organization and was to this
effect. '"rhe nomination of Liley for
governor of the Nutmeg state cannot,
in the judgment of many important
Republicans, greatly aid Taft"
Taking the Connecticut statement ex-
actly at its face value and concedng
to Congressman Lilley the doubtful
honor of the Republican nomination,
which surely cannot greatly aid
Taft" the only possible comment that
can be made is that the machine has
done its work perfectly and Is In a po-
stion to redeem pledges made over q
year and half ago For those who
admire the road roller process Of po-
Illtlcal conduct, more impressive OBJ
ject lesson could not well be given. 1t
cannot fail to carry to the thousands
of earnest young men, who are either
about to cast their first ballot this fall
or to cast their second, the plain sug-
gestion that If they ever hope to serve
the state or their immediate locality
in public Office they must strike hands
with the machine now, and forever af-
forwards hold their peace. This they
must do, or, burning their bridges be-
| hind them, give the state their more
patriotic service in the form of an in
dependent vote, 1t Is a serious al
tentative the machine has given young
men, who should be taught first Of all
that they live under a free government
and that to protest It lie their first
obligation.

The unfortunate occurrence in con-
neetlon with the activities of the state
police at Middletown last Sunday loses
none OF It's unpleasantness because OF
what Superintendent Egan has to say
about It. II Is natural for him to APP
prove the work and methods of his
men on every occasion, Did he not do
so, It would not be long before he
would be quite as unpopular with his
subordinates as the latter are daily
becoming with the Connecticut public.
1t Is needless and useless to take ex.
ception to the superintendent state
ment. II Is sufficient to call attention to
the frequency Of late with which the
public has seen NJ to harshly criticise
the state police and the state police, IN
its turn, has FASTENED, with unbecom-
Ing alacrity, to offer its explanations.
Superintendent Egan's present explain
alton is plausible one, but we confess
to a disposition to in part question 1t
in view of the recent fracases at savin
Rock and elsewhere. when the state
police have seemed TO show few of the
characteristics Of efficient officers OF the
law. We are being confirmed In the be-
lief that the time Is slowly but surely
approaching when the usefulness of the
state police, as at present constituted,
Will be seriously called into question
by the voters, II not the usefulness Of
a state police force ideally organized.
Theoretically the existence of SUPER
intendent Egan's men as an organized
force is only justified on the ground
that they must be held In readiness TO
deal with local conditions OF an unlaw-
fu nature whenever local officers find
themselves unable to cope with sit
uation. That being the case, II may be
looked upon in the light of reproach
to the local officials every time they
call upon the state force. Not only
should It be a reproach, in such case,
but an advertisement to the lawless
that there is community where the
local officers are not only inefficient
but are willing TO admit that inefTi-
cheney. Thus, on theoretical basis,
the state police force Is lily justified
In practice the state police force has
developed the habit Of taking the en-
forcement of the law into its owl
hands, not only with Objectionable
methods. but In communities where
they have not been asked to by the lol
cal authorities to lend their assistance
II is conceivable that there may be oc
| casions at long intervals when thu
force will find It necessary to draw
Its revolvers. 1t is not conceiva BILE tina
In almost every raid made there shoult
be instances OF shooting and of wound
! ing The enforcement OF the lquo
laws, or In fact of any law, is seri
GUS matter; but 1t is not TO be sup
posed that life must be endangered a
often as an attempt at enforcement /
made.

HOLLAND AND CASTRO.

There are indications that Dictator
Castro Of Venezuela, has overstepped
the mark and that he may very soon

high-handed methods and possibly to
hand over the helm of the little so
called republic to others Not only Is
there a likelihood that he win have TO
face the crafty and determined Hol-
landers IN struggle with arms but
there is now brewing a well-organized
revolution among his countrymen who
resent him and his methods, a reyolu-
ton of such proportions that II will
test his political strength to the ut
most.
Holland is particularly we'll fitted for
giving Castro good thrashlng. There
have been any number OF world powers
In the past that have had their trou-
bles with him, but they have lnvari-
ably had their hands tied in one way
or another In dealing with him, Eng
land, France, Germany and Italy are
some of the nations that have dis
agreed with Castro but they have
unanimously failed TO obtain satlsfac-
ton Although there would have been
general satisfaction had these foreign
countries worsted Venezuela and espo-
cially Castro, still the United states
has been obliged to insist that they
limit their advances to the provisions
Of the Monroe doctrine. which bind us
to oppose the taking of a single foot
of Venezuelan territory by foreign
power. Our own government has been
blocked In its efforts TO get restitution
from Castro. as contemporary has
expressed II. "by the necessity OF
