Restriction or Prohibition, Which,

Rev. w. L. Dexter, superintendent of
the work of the anti-saloon league in
Nevada, delivered an interesting adj
dress at the Presbyterian church last
night. Nevada is the last state in the
union to he invaded by this league. All
the other states have taken up the work
in earnest and its effects are seen in the
ever increasing area of dry" territory.
Conditions in Nevada are ripe for this
movement and we predict it will gather
force until more stringent laws for the
control of the liquor traffic are placed
upon our statute books. The saloon
must go" has been the slogan by which
state after state has fallen into the pro-
hibition column.
Where will Nevada stand when the
fight is over? Unless more restrictions
are placed on the liquor traffic and the
people given the right to say by their
votes whether or not they want saloons
in their communities, there will come
an awakening that will sweep this state
into the prohibition column. The solid,
sober thought of this state demands
that something be done to control this
traffic, and those engaged in it should
join in the demand and assist in passing
laws for its control.
IF they take the opposite course, they
will force the people to decide between
present conditions and prohibition "a If
that time comes, we believe the solid
citizenship of the state will be enrolled
under the prohibition banner. And
this is no idle dream.

A new theory of the duty and func-
lions of a United states senator is now
being urged in Connecticut. The
chief, If not the sole, test of eligibility
for this Office. ave are now told, ia the
capacity of the incumbent to play
servile part in the government, TO be-
not a representative of the state, but
of another entity, unknown to the con-
stitution of the United States, called
THE administration"
This novel doctrine. which would be
more shocking IL 1t were less ridlcu-
lous. would have caused the republl-
cans Of Connecticut to be besought
when Joseph r. Hawley was first
candidate for the senate. to. give him
the office because of his devotion TO the
administration Of President Grant But
was that argument then used" Was Il
because of their willingness to take
their orders from the White House as
to what they should do In the senate
chamber that Orvine II. Platt who
became s. senator in the time Of Hayes,
was continued in his Office through the
terms of Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland,
Harrison, Mckinley and Roosevelt. an !
that General Hawley was kept there
as his colleague from 1881 until 1902
Was it the prevailing impression Of
the republican voters Of Connecticut
that-to mention only one instance
Senator Plat took Instructions from
William Mckinley, or did William Nc
Kinley follow the suggestions and the
advice of Mr.. Plat? OF which OF the
presidents named was Hawley the
humble and obedient servant?
We are told the next senator from
Connecticut must be an echo of Mr..
Taft and an unquestioning supporter
Of all his policies. This is a reversal
Of all the old and accepted notions of
party representation and RELATIONSHIP.

panage OF the White House-merc

Tiredof Of Waiting, Grocers Try Laws
Coercion

Henry Vanasse. who lives near Bing-
hams bridge with his wife and six
children, had his horse and wagon,
with which he was accustomed to drive
with TO his work in the city and bring
his children in to school every morn
ing, attached for $3S.1s and costs, in
Favor of Mullen & st. Onge for an old
grocery and provision bill that was
outlawed Mr.. Vanasse went to Mullen
& st Onge and tried to compromise,
and offered to settle the old bill on a
small weekly basis payment, but the
creditors sought to recover the full
bill, interest and costs.
Fortunately for Mr.. Vanasse the
bond for the horse and wagon was
held by his attorney and he was not
deprived Of the use OF his means Of
going to and from his work daily and
carrying his children to school. The
case was returnable before Justice of
the Peace Curtis Dean. Attorney
George W. MelOny represented the
plaintiff in the action and Attorney
Thomas J Kelley had the defendants
interests i'm charge. The case was set
tied out Of court Saturday afternoon
i'm favor Of Henry Vanasse. as Mullen
& st. Onge finally decided to compro-
mise and agreed to eliminate the costs
and interest from the case in hand and
allow Mr.. Vanasse to settle the old bill
by paving the sum OF 81 a week until
settled UP.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Deserve the Thanks of the People.

The men who have just handed in 70
the general assembly a report on pub
lie service corporations, which makes
a compact volume OF ia pages, have
done hard and faithful work. They
deserve the hearty thanks of the peo-
pie Of the state. We hope their recon-
mendations will be as practical in op-
Grafton as they have been laborious IN
preparation. Since the judges swept
away the corrupt practices act, on
which much careful work had been
done, and which had supposedly been
scrutinized by skilful and thorough
going lawyers, it is natural to be sus-
picious of the stability of legislation Of
a complex kind, when the men best in
formed and upon whom we are depen-
dent for the form It takes are unable
to foresee the effect of their work, or
are willing to pass laws that don't
mean anything in TIE test-Waterbury

Slow Game, in Which New London is
Defeated by Local Players.

The Buckley High school OF New
London sent a team Of basketball play
ers 10 this city Saturday night, and
from the way the different men shot
baskets in practice, the spectators were
elated at the prospect of good, fast,
close game; but unfortunately when
the game started there was nothing
brilliant about the playing Of either
team The visitors were so lamentably
weak in nearly all departments OF the
game that they almost failed to score
in the first half
Wtndham played listlessly and did
not at any time show the speed and
dash that usually characterizes its
play. Buckley had but a few scatter
ing tries at the basket in the first half,
and the score at the close was 1872, and
should or could easily have been a
shut-out had Windham not been I'M
necessarily careless and permitted Clark
to, obtain an easy shot without the
least effort to stop him.

BOARD oE ALDERMEN
Will Have to Settle Matter Of City
Clerkship at Tonieht's Meeting.

The meeting Of the board of alder
men this evening promises to be I'M
usually interesting, as the matter of
the city clerkship is to come up. 1t is
uncertain what will be done regarding
the matter, for the members of the
board seem to be at variance concern
ing the disposition of the matter.
Should the present incumbent, Fred A.
Sanderson, resign. the work for the
board would be simply to appoint a
successor to hold office for the balance
of the term or until the regular cleo
tion next winter Some of the board
are said to favor the appointment of
an assistant city clerk, which power is
vested in the board in an emergency
of the nature now up for consideration.
Still others are said to favor Mr.. San
derson's resignation from both offices
Of city clerk and city treasurer, mas
much as he has been rendered and ac-
cepted q more remunerative position
with the Windham Silk company. Q
Two republican candidates for the
Office of city clerk are John B. Edgar
ton and Clarence Z. Bowen, both well
known local young men who have
many friends. Mr. Edgarton has been
employed by the New York, New Ha
ven and Hartford Railroad company in
this city for a number of years, and
has MOll DIuHOllOn DE HIS pdllSLclh
work and strict attention to whatever
duty was assigned to him. Mr.. Bow
en- was a candidate for the city clerk
ship four years ago, but owing to Mr..
Sanderson's efficiency and extreme
popularity was defeated. Mr.. Bowen
is a son Of Judge Andrew ]. Bowen of
this city and a member Of the fire in
surance firm of A. J. Bowen & Son.
A number of democratic candidates
have bobbed up, prominent among
whom ara Colonel J. H. Morrison. Cap
ton Eugene Ashton, and Louis J. Flynn,
assistant ticket agent at the Union
station. In the event of Mr.. Sander
sons resignation. the majority of the
present board of aldermen being re-
publican. a democrat would stand
slight show of winning out.
There are those who say that the
reason for wishing an assistant APP
pointed to Mr.. Sanderson is a mere
eubterfuge to retain a democratic lien
upon the office, so that that party will
be able to put a strong candidate in the
field at the next city election and re-
tain the office that has been held by a
representative of that party for more
than a decade.
