 These are the considerations which have suddenly given to the movement to adopt direct primary law real strength and substance, If such q law were in operation today, Mir, Lilley would fail In his ambition, in spite of all that his political friends could do for him, The people have taken his measure and, because they are prac- tcally being denied the chance to re- cord their will, they have turned spon- taneously to the consideration of di- rect primary law as a means of their dcliverance, For that reason we are able to admit that after all the im- position of Mir. Lllley upon the com munlty as candidate has its good sides.

THE CASE or POLICEMAN RuDD.

It Is no light matter whom q mem Der of the state police force Is bound over to the superior court, as Alfred Rudd has been, on charge fl assault With attempt to kill, On the other hand, the fact that he has peen bound over to the higher court need not re- dound in Itself to the state police mans disgrace, If he really is inno- cent of what he has been charged With, even in spite of the popular clamor against the state police force, which, 1t cannot be donla1, seems to be on the Increase. It Is certain that Rudd will get thorough and u fairer trial before the bar of ,he superior court than he possibly could before Judge Bryant in the West Haven court now The charge is serious enough to warrant the action and Judge Bryant has acted wisely, Now enough time should elapse before he k again brought up in court for the whole case to be prepared In such d manner that 1t can be presented in d Way thoroughly fair to the prisoner and to the state. The trial will be of vital importance to each.
 
 Policeman Rudd must remember that the state, as whole, ic rot wish ing his conviction any more than he Is. Connecticut does not walt 1t to be proved to it's satisfaction, n this or any other way that the fpte police is not the satisfactory force of men that it might be. Policeman Rudd's conviction need not neces urily argue for the abolition of the state police force. The fundamental .loa of the latter might still be excellent never theless. Ws do not say whether it Is or not ut this tlme Rulds eonvic- tlol' at pest, should only prove that the state police force has had one man on 1t that is not up to all Is require ments and 1t would suggest closer inspection of the doings of his fellows. If the state police force Is an institu- ton to be abolished, the advisabillty of doing SD ought to be proved 1t time when the best, not the worst men, comprise its makeup. The city was vitally concerned with the recent trial of City Policeman S'owell, but the whole state should be 'i,ally con- cerned with the trial of State Police man Rudd.

NH. WALKER ARRIVES.

It was a strange welcome that one of the states returning citizens re- ceived when he slipped quietly into Hartford town last evening after an absence of some months Ion business" as the society columns would put It. William r. Walker comes back to us q sadder and wiser man His case and that of the Standard oil company, which also is demanding a good deal of contemporary interest, are very sim- liar. With both of them the general public Is morally certain that grosa wrongs have been committed, yet noth- ing but the fairest of trials is wanted and demanded for the culprlt corpora ton and the culprit man. Both have their rights under the law just as if innocent and there is good reason to believe they will enjoy them.
 The story that Walker is reported to tell, now that he has arrived, is a far different one from that if his widely read interview of Los Angeles. Ac- cording to the latter, he said he did not receive a cent of the thousands of dollars of money, but handed the money over to others He had gone fn n In ii1n h, amount the bank was minus and in- tended to return with his earnings and recoup himself. According to his present story, nu admits taking tho money and even goes Us far as tc promise that he will plead guilty. He says he did not return because of the certain disgrace and unpleasant np- toriety It would mean to his family and his wife.
 If Walker is still as bright man as he has shown himself heretofore to be, he will face the music this morning, when brought before Judge Shumway, 1 and plead guilty. Certainly the evi- dence against him will be overwhelm- ing enough for a conviction. To do so would undoubtedly mean some sort of clemency at dhe hands of the court. As for the public 1t must not forget the hours of agony this affair has al- ready meant to the brave little woman who, as wife, has been and is the in- nocent sufferer, The shock and the with her than with the man. May the trial be as speedy as is consistent and as just as the fair record of Con- nectcut courts demands.

of pleasure in them with the flesh spectators, But aside from this, the Greeks were by nature true sportsmen, Anything that sayored of unfairness was distasteful to them An athlete who won his race or bout by underhand means would have his infamy rehearsed at family hearth stones from Macedonia to Sparta and beyond
 The ill-feelng shown In the i0O- meter flat race, in which the Ameri- can, Carpenter, took part, Thursday was only Che culmnation of q num- Der of disagreements, Whichever team has been at fault, 1t Is equally to be regretted, It is not Il pleasant thought to think of our English cous- ins that they are poor losers in ath- letics, yet the fact seems to be thrust upon us again and again, not only in these Olympic games, but In other meetings of this and other kinds. New Haveners, through personal con tact, have come so to know Mike Murphy above all things, as lover of clean athletics, that 1t Is difficult to disregard his statement that the 40O- meter race was a case of highway rob bery. He said: Tt proves whot l have said, that these English officials will do anything to prevent an Amer ican, or anybody else, from winning q race. You bet they won't run it over and if l had my say every American athlete at the Stadium would leave here right away and never return either to this arena or to England" :"
 James E. Sullivan, the well known American. Il seems put the matter clearly when he pointed out that, even granted Carpenter had been guilty of boring" his opponent, still  the race was interfercd with and call- ed off, not by the referee, who was the only man who had the right to do so, but by a lot of excited English of ncals who ran out in the track, broke the finish tape, got in the way of the runners and even pulled one of the latter from the track by force, the while crying out; Foul. Foul" The Engishmen like it when the Ameri- cans cheered with delight at the won derful running of the formers South African runner, who won the l00- meter dash from ns they appear to yell even more heartily in protest when the Stars and Stripes forge ahead.
 We believe the World gets at the heart of the matter when It says "The mistake seems to have been to have made the management local instead of international It would be better if fixed set of rules and events were laid down by general action--and no variation should be permitted. wheth- CT the games are held in Greece, France, the United states or England to meet national customs or practices In athletics By rights, the represen- tatlyes of the country which happens to be host should no more have the decision or control than those of any other nation figuring on the general committee"
 Had the American protest in the great classic, the Marathon race, not been forthcoming, the Americans cer- tainly would have been justified in pulling up stakes and returning on the next steamer.

yOX POPULI.

We assure our newspaper contem- porarles that we are not without feeling of appreciation for the guber- material candidacy of Congressman Lilley of Waterbury. It has, !n fact, done a great deal of good, which, sooner or later, will find its way down to the masses of the people It has been well said that everything in this world has It's good side when properly ironed out and understood.
 MT. Lilley's candidacy has called nt- tentlon, as nothing else could have done, to the pressing need there is fin the state of Connecticut for system of caucusing and nominating which places in the hands of the voter the power of selecting public officers For years 1t has been understood that the party leaders have been able to control caucuses through the arts known to them and unknown to the wayfaring citizen, but 1t has been more of a vague impression than anything else
 Here and there individuals have at tempted to break into caucuses and to interpret the purposes. as we'll as the motion of the leaders and, except where they have shown the capacity themselves for party leadership in a narrow or unrestricted sense, as the case might be, they have admitted their poweressness, The great and pa triotic mass. on the other hand. have had to take their unrest out in com- plalnlng. They have needed an object lesson to show them what it actually means to have their sovereign rights and desires set aside and the Lilley candidacy is that object lesson For that reason 1t will always be remem- bered with more or less gratitude
 The object lesson would be less im- pressive if MT. Lilley was more fit for the office to which he aspres, and yet the fitness or unfitness of q man for public office should not necessarily be considered in connection with the broad right of the people to govern themselves. It has been sensibly said since the Lilley discussion was begun that, under the prevailing political system, some party organization is necessary. It might be said with like truth, that under any system party or ganlzation would be necessary, but it stands to reason that that system which makes the party organization more amenable to the popular will is the more promising and should the more speedily be adopted. The funda- mental trouble with the Billey move ment, aside from the glarng fact that lle lS lelllpeTdlltlltdllJ ullllteu loI thS office of governor, is that it represents in no sense whatever the popular ac- claim of the masses of his own politl- cal party. Not one reason has been ad- vanced why he should be elevated to an office dignified by such men as Flaw ley, Ingersoll, Harrison, English, Wal Ter, Mclean and others, He has shown in no single instance his fitness for such a responsibility He is simply the choice of d group of powerful politi- clans who agreed two years ago that they would support him this year and being what are called straight poll
