NO BOND ISSUE
 WITHOUT REFERENDUM

committee of the General Assem- bly will visit Bridgeport today to make up it's mind whether it will per init the second city in Connecticut to expend it's own money in it's own way as the judgment of its people may dictate. The members of the com niittee are courteous and amiaole gen. tlement They are working under an ancient system for which they are not responsible. But they should have no difficulty in perceiving that it is not a proper function for the General AS sembly to meddle in the domestic a1- fairs of Bridgeport. It would De proper for the General Assembly to establish general laws to protect the credit of the State and its several com munities. but further it has no moral right to go. The Finance committee is composed of gentlemen from other places. some of them small places. It has no means of knowing the needs of Bridgeport. nor the wishes of the people Of Bridgeport. which are not necessarily the same as the wishes or the little group of men who usually assemble about a legislative commit tee in an official junket.
 An indignity was perpetrated against Bridgeport when a committee of the General Assembly was invited here to take authority over purely domestic matters. But the invitation has been extended and the committee is not to blame.
 At any rate, the committee cannot go far astray if it remembers that the people of Bridgeport want no bond issue except with referendum attach ed. If they are to go in debt for a million dollars the plunge is to be taken upon their own declaration ex- pressed at the ballot box and not otherwise.

Tennis Cabinet" had returned, but for the fact that the sessions on the tennis court back of the Executive Offices lack the presence of the occu- pant of the White House. Secretary of the Navy Meyer, Assistant Secre- tary Beekman Winthrop, and Ambas- sador Jusserand are the most regu- lar attendants.
 More callers are received each day by Major General Leonard Wood, Chief of Staff, U. S. A, than by any man in the government service with the exception of the President They keep the General so busy that he has formed the habit of doing with out lunch, and contents himself with an apple or two eaten at his desk.

 Gov. Chase Osborn, of Michigan, here recently, complained that Con gresslonal enactments showed 'too much lawyer spirit" He said that nearly three fourths of the members are lawyers, and asserted there would be better laws if the other professions were represented more adequately.

GROWTH OF INITIATIVE REFERENDUM AND RECALL

The New York World expresses the opinion that the discussion of the constitution of Arizona has saved the country from further extension of the system of initiative, referendum and recall.
 Just where the World acquires the idea that the recall was new, either to the country, or as a matter of law, prior to the adoption of the Arizona constitution, is unexplainable in view of the information usually in the possession of this excellent newspa- per.
 These principles were embodied in the constitution of Oregon. many tion of Oklahoma, against which Theodore Roosevelt directed his thunders.
 Recently MT. Roosevelt has seen the error of his ways and is now d. most as warm an advocate of these principles as their earlier friends. In declaiming against the constitution of Arizona Mir Taft has but followed in the footsteps of his predecessor in office. It is as safe and easy guess that he will continue to follow in MT. Roosevelt's footsteps, the more surely will he do so as the realiza- ton is forced home to him that no man can again be president of the United States who does not believe in the beneficient principle that the people rule, that they are sovereign and that convenient mechanisms must be esta blished through which that sovereignty can be exercised.
 Even during the period since MT. Taft acclaimed against the people of Arizona for making their own con stitution as they saw fit, four sov- ereign states, through their legisla- tures, have planned for like changes in the organic law. These states are Nebraska, Washington, Florida and California
 In California the matter of recall ing judges was carefully considered, before it was included in the amend ment.
 Already the initiative and referen- dunn are embodied in the organic law of twelve sovereign states. Amend ments have been proposed for adop- tion by the three states above named. It appears much as if three other states, including Wisconsin, will go on record, through their legislatures, as favoring a constitutional amend ment before the end of the present year.
 The evidence is overwhelming that as early as 1912, or 1913, a majority of the states of the Union will be committed to these principles thus making effective tne of the great national policies of the Democratic party.

Churches and tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis From reports received
from over 725 churches, with mem
bership of over $4,000 communicates
of twenty denominations, and from
20S cities and towns in 10 states in
various parts of the country, out ,of
nearly 1000 deaths in 1910, over 700
or 10 percent we're caused by tuber-
culosis. This means 224 deaths for
every thousand members or com
municants While the percentage of
deaths from tuberculosis compared
with other diseases is not higher in
the churches, according to these fig
ures, than in the country at large, the
tuberculosis death rate, as shown by
the church returns, is higher per
thousand communicates than that for
the general population in the registra-
ton area of the United States, which

ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of. caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of chill

conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.

RODGERHS FLIGHT.

Mr.. Rodgers's performance in flying
from ocean to ocean is noteworthy. II
IL by far the longest journey thus oc-
complished by any aviator in the world.
1t presents n remarkable exhibition OF
determination, daring and endurance
which are valuable and praiSewortby
qualities 1t demonstrates also the pos
sihility OF aerial navigation under
great diversity Of typographical, meteor
illogical and other circumstances, and
doubtless therefore will be Of service TO
subsequent experimenters with aero
planes and other flying devices.
The achievement cannot, however, he
regarded as Of immediate significance
In respect 10 methods Of transportation
and communication, for the reason that
1t comprises nothing which cannot he
done far better in every way by other
existing agencies. The journey WAS ac-
complished In more than score of sue
cessive fights with considerable intervals
between them. The distance traversed
was something like 1850 miles. and Il
was traversed In actual flying time Of
less than 5000 minutes. so that the aver
age rate was almost fifty-two miles an
hour. That is indeed "going some" But
q different aspect Of the case IL pre-
sented In the fact that the actual elapsed
time between start and finish was fifty
days. That IS pretty slow work A rail.
road train can make It In one-tenth Of
that time. We are not sure but that
relays Of horses could do as well AS the
flying machine Certainly automobiles
could easily outstrip If. It is true that
the aeroplane was exempt from condi
lions which would have been trying to
horses or automobiles. It flew over bad
roads as easily as over good roads But
then there are meteorological conditions
which prevent aeroplane travel which We
hicles on the earth can ignore, and on
the whole the latter really seem TO be
less likely To encounter serious obstacles
than the former.
IT remains TO be demonstrated. there

ment. that the aeroplane can he so per-
lected as not merely to do something

tion, but SO as to do important things

limited. For purposes Of travel and OF
