TEMPERANCE IDEA
Important Subjects Discussed
at Convention
TO REGULATE TRAFFIC
Trustees of Brewers Association OFFER
m Plan to Aid the Government
Authorities In Regulating
the Saloon
TO REGULATE TRAFFIC

Washington, June 9.-The most impor-
tant matters awaiting the action Of the
convention of the United Brewers asso-
citation when it assembled for its conclud-
ing sessions today was the election of
trustees.
Having practically disposed of the dis
cussion of prohibition which at yester-
days meeting was declared to tend to
promote, rather than retard, intemper-
ance, the principal topic for today was
taxation on beer under the internal r'f-
enue laws of the United states.
Indorsing a proposal that the gained
brewing industry offer active assistance
TO government authorities in devisins
measures for the regulated of the retail
liquor traffic and provie ag plan to pro-
mote the adoption Of national labor
agreement and n .onal arbitration agrees
ment the co ention adjourned today.
The conver ION elected the following trus-
tees: + ward Publ, Boston; Herman
Stratd. Pittsburg; Charles Widemann,
Newport, Ky: Albert Carey, Washington;
Rudolph Brand, Chicago Rudolph j.
schaefer New York and Lewis Hemerich,
Seattle.
In offering to aid government authori-
tives in regulating the saloon the con-
vention directed the trustees of the as
ISOLATION to give immediate consideration
to the form in which the offer would
be made most effective.
Percy Andreae of Cincinnati. one of the
organizers of the Ohio Brewers associa-
OF lodi xfe
session.
Mr. Andreae said he discarded every ar
gument against prohibition and confined
himself to two general facts, one the re-
port of the Anti-saloon league that in the
last Is years 100000 of the population of
the United States had been placed under
prohibition of one form and another; the
other a report of the United States reve-
nue. authorities that in those same Is
years the per capita consumption of
whisky in the United States had increased
over so per cent, and the per capita con-
sumption of beer over 46 per cent.
ITO be quite accurate said Mr.. An
dreae, since the greater half of these
ss 900, 900 people voted for prohibition, we
must assume either that the smaller
half of them are drinking several times
as much as they drank before, or that
the greater half Who voted to abolish
drink are hypocritically helping them to
consume that fearful excess.
In his argument against prohibition Mr..
Andreae quoted from President Tafts
work, -Four Aspects of Civic Duty" In
which the President argued that a drastic
law which failed Of enforcement was

under the proposed apportionment of 211.500.
 There are those who like to figure out how a new apportionment will af- feet political conditions, but this is dangerous thing to do, and whenevG% it has been attempted to gerrymander a state for the benefit of one party, trouble has ensued and in many in stances the scheme did not work as originally planned. As conditions were last fall in Connecticut all the new districts would be close. and the New Haven district would be demo- cratic. Another year this might be changed, however. and, as matter of fact, politics ought not to enter into this question at all Local conditions will be likely to have more weight, as they did ten years ago, when the ap- pOrtionment bill was defeated, mainly because several towns did not want to be taken out of their present dis tricts, but if the state is to be re- dis tricted, these local conditions must be ignored to a certain extent.
 Based on the vote for member of congress last election, the new Hart ford district would be republican by 1,O51: the Fairfield county district would be republican by 1884; the dis trict composed of the four counties of NIiddlesex, New London, Holland and Windham would be republican by majority of 754 The Waterbury dis trict, so-called, will be republican by 906. while the New Haven district will be democratic by a majority of 2.137. These figures are not official, however, and may vary somewhat
 One curious feature of this appor- tionment would be that Representative Henry, Representative Higgins and Colonel Shepard, who ran on the re- publican ticket for representative last fall, would all be thrown into one dis tI.ict

General Booth and Mrs. Eddy.

On his page of the London nlustrat- ed News, Chesterton tells the British public that the death of Mrs. Eddy bulks larger for significance and real importance among the events of 1910 than the election of the new house of commons. If there's anything Chester ton thoroughly enjoys, it's making the respectable British public sit up. When he has 1t sitting up, he proceeds to ex- plain ..
 All the thoughtful and earnest mod ern persons who have been moved to write about the religion of the future he mentions William T. Stead, but does not mention Charles W. EIiot-ars agreed that, whatever else it may be, it's going to be a free" religion. The evolution of Christianity is toward lib = erty, they tell us; the shackles of an cient authority are visibly dropping off.
 And yet Chestelton points out the two persons who in our time and our part of the world-the Protestant part of the world--have successfully found ed and built up great new religious or ganizauons are William Booth and MT |. Eddy, and in the matter of absolute, autOcratic authority both Of them have out-poped the pope. Plus K has the last word in his church, as a judge has the last word. William Booth is a gen. eral; his Salvation Army Is 8 mill tary organization In form and in fact; he has not only the last word In it. but the first word and the middle word too; his orders are law to off cers and rank and file alike. Turning to the other organizations, Chesterton tells the British public that without the aid of military forms Mrs. Eddy succeeded in creating and maintain ing as perfect discipline, as prompt cheerful and unquestionable obedi . ence. He suggests that no pope of Rome would dream Of reO1liriDe the parish pastors to desist from preach ing sermons and read extracts from a book of his own nstead.-Hartford EOnranf.

PRESIDENT mELLEN's POSITION.

President Meuen writes as we'll as he talks and this lends interest to whatever he may have to say upon prospective legislation which may menace the operation of great cor pora tfons or public service companies for the mutual benefit Of the private owners ano the people. His opposi- tion to the appointment of a political commission with extraordinary pow CTS is to be expected and his conten ton for an intelligent and fair treat insnt of such intricate problems as are involved in the management of great railway systems is worthy the deep est interest
 He is right when he says: Tt can rot be too often reiterated that the true interests of the owners of railroads and Of the public are ident- cal and not divergent. I believe that such laws as have been recently en- @ csed in this country creating political hoaKds or administrative comm issions for the determination Of controversies essentially judicial in their nature, will, because they are unjust to the railroads, in the long run be also se- verely injurious to the public. l sin rerely think that it is possible for the thoughttul people of Connecticut as legislative pioneers. to show a clearer gnders tRnding Of sctual economic and legal conditions governing the rela- lions of railroads and the public than hss yet been shown anywhere. As my csntrib1tion to the rational discussion of the problem, I repeat my earnest convirtiou that rhe administration of even handed justice between railroads and their patrons Is absolutely essen tlal Co the highest permanent welfare Of this community. that we can best secure the administration of justice by entyusting it to judicial tribunals, and that such characteristics of ordinary courts ss might be drawbacks in this peculiar field may be remedied by the creation of a court of commerce, which shall eliminate all purely technical rules Of evidence and procedure, and which shall have broad Jurisdiction of all controversies concerning the jus tioe and reasena-bIeness of existing railroad service or railroad rates, with power to enjoin those owning or op- srAsing any railroad to desist from the fuEshsr continuance of any practices Iudicially found to be unreasonable or unjust"
 In doing all he can to guard against legislative mistakes, President Mel len is doing the people a real serv- ice as well as the great railway sys- tenn he represents.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A WeIl-D Drawn Contrast.

Mr. Editor: Let me quote from an address by the mayor to the court of common council. March 3, 1902: But the proposition to expend $500, 900 for any additional reservoir not accepta- ble to the people at large, and thus add to our fixed annual charges the sum of $10,500 in spite of the peoples wishes does not appeal to me either as beautiful in sentiment or sound business policy. The position calls for enthusiastically upon borrowing of money and it's use for water works
 If you will recede gracefully from your position on the Stony brook wa ter project, and accede to this sug- gestiOn relative 10 the new cemetery, there will be much less difficulty in meeting the financial situation in May
 Sounds nice. doesn't it?
 The council accepted the cemetery project but did not recede from the Stony brook project; result-"injunc- tiOn.' We've got the cemetery for the dead, but are shy on water for the living. It looks now doesn't it, as if the mayor and executive committee were willing to recede from the $300,000 outlay and $10.500 fixed charges that were such a menace eight years ago.

If ore were needed, what nobler eulogy could be uttered than the simple statement that after such a strain and such trials, with final triumph plainly in sight, he ut tered those words and felt as he spoke You have rightly selected him as the chief American maker of history in the 18th century. The world long ago chose another as our chief maker of history for the 18th century. Both were typ ical products of your own race, as de velOped in new surroundings. in that conflict with wild nature and wild men which has subdued a continent to the highest uses of civilization. Both were human; neither was entirely ax- empt from the weaknesses of human ity. But whether for patient fOrtitude and final success in war, or for wise leadership of q great people in peace I venture to think George Washing ton and Abraham Lincoln not inferior to any sons of the race born in those centuries, under any skies.

LICENSE ORDINANCE UNcoNsTi
 TUTIONAL

The pe-5dlers' license law for Wa terbury was completely knocked out on Wednesday morning in the city court and the chief of police immedi- ately gave notice that no further at tempt should be made to enforce it.
 The city of Waterbury taxes people from Cheshire or Naugatuck, or Seymour, or any other town four times as much to distribute wares in Waterbury as it does people residing in the city" Attorney MoyIe of New Haven said Tt denies equality of treatment to the citizens of the state of Connectieut, and that part of the city ordinance is purely unconstitu- tionsl." The demurrer filed by Law yer Muyle and sustained by Judge AI ac Aahon stated that the city had no right to charge an out-of-town res iaeBt four times the amount charged local residents for the same privilege and that the ordinance should be de- clared unconstitutional
 The Waterbury American says: AS q result of Judge NcMahon's decision, the board Of aldermen will in all prob aDility get busy and fix up the ordi- nance so that there will be no ques- tton in regard to it's legality and so that it will be impossi ble for people to come in here from out of town and sell goods from house to house with out securing licenses"
 Waterbury is not alone in having an ordinance of this kind upon her books and other places should take notice.

was so solicitous about, and what have you got? Nothing but a condi- tfon you were told you would get by such eminent engineers as Allen of Worcester. Blake of Boston and Richards of New London. Have we not every reason from our present condition to believe that these men were right when they advised us to go to Stony brook? Take the amount that has been spent, the ince>nveni- ence experienced by the people, the fixed charges at 10 cents per gallon, will there be any less difficulty in meeting the financial situation in May, 1911, than we would have had to meet it in 1902 by going to Stony brook and having at the present time an abundance of pure water; and for great many years to come? It is yours-only three miles from the Trading Cove brook pipe line. Use it.
 An editorial in the Evening Record some time since read something like this: 'Pease brook or nothing-to Stony brook or bust" We will never be any nearer busted not only for water but financially than we are at the present time; and our condition does not appeal to me as being beau tiful in sentiment or sound business policy" And now, MT. Taxpayer. take what you own, develop 1t before you go busted completely. accept the ad- vice of men who understood their business, and have proved it to you.
 A. H. BREED.
 P.S.-How do the little band of men who contributed $25 each to bust the republican party by using the water question eight years ago feel about it? Do they see something beautiful in sentiment or sound business policy at the present time? Taxpayers, you are the common people who Lincoln loved so well, who our mayor has en- circled with his protecting arm for all these years. Who is the nearest bust ed, you or the republican party? Think it over

TWO HUNDRED WEDDINGS.

The carrying out of new schedule for the New York telephone service has been delayed by the discovery that about two hundred of the 1000 girl operators in the central exchanges were booked to be married, so the 200 newly trained young women who were relied upon to make the new eight hour service effective are only just sufficient to take the places of the girls who are to withdraw in the near future to preside over homes of their own.
 This was something of a surprise to the management, and the immedi- ate engagement of 200 more for the training school will be necessary.
 The Hello girls appear to have taking ways and they win out if the line is busy"
 This is a very interesting progress sive exhibit, and The Bulletin joins in extending congratulations and wishing them all Happy New Year.
