The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-06-19

Commenting upon the fact that 'ethe Judiciary committee-the leading and most important committee of the State House of Representatives- brought in a favorable report on the proposition that when railroad cor poration needs, or thinks it needs, a certain piece of property in its busi- ess, 1t may without delay take pos session of the same. leaving the owner to get what he can for it afterwards g fhe Stamford Advocate says:
 The point to be observed-tf1e only point of practical importance in the Transaction as it stands-is that the Judiciary committee has put itself on record in favor of the proposition. It is dangerous bunch. Every mem Der of it ought to be marked for de- feat the next time he may have the effrontery to ask for the votes of the people.
 A decidedly severe arraignment of the committee. from politically friendly sourcei Warranted also by the factsl
 The legislation in question enables wants, and then imposes upon the owner of the property taken the bur den of obtaining payment therefor through the courts, provided the road offers less than the owners valuation. Under such conditions, the road would probably offer much less than real value, and the owner would be forced to accept the offer or initiate costly litigation. He. or his children, or his grandchildren might eventually receive ,somethfng for his property, provided the courts award were not eaten up by his lawyers fees.
 It passes the comprehension of the average man how so intelligent a body of men as the Judiciary committee could have passed favorably upon such a bill. unless the members are so bound to the road that they accept it's measures without examination
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-06-19

There is a bare possibility that. the General Assembly will adjourn about The middle of July the. House having fixed upon the date of July 15, but there is yet a number of important measures to be acted upon. and neither branch has yet evinced any special aptitude for expedition of legislative busfness- The Legislatures of several larger States which also, began their sessions in January, have lcofnpleted their work. and their proeeedines have already gone through. thefprecess of printing and issuance. Is the pro- ,tracted delay at Hartford due to a hitherto unsuspected tendency of Con- recticut legislators to .loquacity?

GRIP VAN WlNKLE,"
WEDNESDAY,, FEBRUARY "a.

Thomas Jefferson will come to the
Grand next Wednesday. Thomas JET
ferson has already established himself
a favorite with theatergoers of this
city. He scored hit in the part when
here before. and proved himself a
worthy successor To his famous sire.
For generations parents have told
their children the story of RIP Van
Wrinkle" Of his great love for little
folks, with whom he would romp and
play. and his affection for his young
daughter, Meenic; how every dog In
the village would @ag its tall for JOY
at the sight of Rip" and with 1t all,
his weakness for the flowing bowl,
how he was driven from his home by
his wife. Gretchen. and went into the
Catskill mountains, where he drank
with the ghosts of Heinrich Hudson and
his pirate crew the fatal draught which
put him to sleep for twenty years,
awaking to find his wife married to
the man who had aided him in be-
coming O drunkard. and his little
daughter, Meenie, grown to woman
hood and still in love with Hendrich
Vedder, the hero and playmate of her
child days.
1t is a charming story, one which
will never grow old. and so long as
1t Is played by Jefferson, and kept
up to It's present high standing, just
so long will 1t appeal to the better
class Of theatergoers and remain one
of the standard attractions of the
American stage.
