daughters in the country. If your
grandmother wants to visit her daugh-

I'm surprised that you have the
nerve TO come over here on such an
errand, after the way you treated my
horse month ago Then YOU wanted

WRONG CONCLUSIONS.

10 IS not a good symptom when a
part Of the citizens get to thinking
that the majority are Incompetent for
self government and need TO be ruled
instead Of ruling. This is not the way
10 a broad democracy, but the direct
path TO tyranny.
We remember well one occasion
when the late Leonard Bacon, LID.
was conducting cases before the board
Of county commissioners, twenty or
more years ago, for a more thorough
enforcement Of the license law, that
this idea was disclosed by the oppes-
ing attorney. when DR.. Bacon said with
more force than elegance:
What II the people do make mis-
takes? ] believe in the government
Of the people b. the people; and if
hey make mistakes. let them make
them! You need not be alarmed, for
when the people make mistakes |
notice they know enough TO correct
them.'
The raising Of the standard Of cit
izenship Is Of more importance than
the limiting of the power Of the peo-
Die. If there are any enemies of the
country IT is the politicians who for
decades have been introducing aliens
TO American life and getting them en-
franchised by trickery instead Of a
straight educational test provided bv
laV, leading them to think the gov
eminent is based on trickery rather
than principle and teaching them that
The ballot may be made a source of
income instead Of the fact that it
lays upon them solemn obligation
which seals their sovereign citizen
ship.
TX the aliens are not up to the stand
ard Of American citizenship. it is not
because they do not want to be. but
because they have not been properly
instructed as to the importance and
sscredness Of the ballot and that it
makes the 1aborcr on election dav the
equal ia voting power Of the president.

honest and upright men. The SUI

citizens. Who can tell today in Nor

MR.. PLANTS GIFT CONDITIONS.

The proposed gift of a million dol
lars from Morton F.. Plant to the new
women's college in Connecticut de-
ponds upon conditions which it should
not be very difficult to satisfy. All
that is necessary to secure it is to
change the name from its first tenta
tive designation of Thames college to
the Connecticut College for Women
and raise another million among it's
friends The latter requirement will
be the hardest. but it should not prove
an insuperable obstacle to the ad-
vancement of the enterprise. There is
certainly enough money in the state
that can easily be spared by it's pos
SCISSORS and there ought to be enough
interest in the institution to attract it
into that channel Perhaps Mr.. Plant
has thought that the new name which
he proposes would give the appeal a
much broader basis than the merely
local one BY which it has thus far
been known Its advantages of Ioca-
ton will not be affected, whatever it
may be called. 1t satisfies one of the
first essentials of any college, beauty
Of outlook and environment, and if it
may not adopt the name of the river
that flows below it, it can yet pos
sess and enjoy all that it stands for.
There may come a time when Con-
necticut viii need more than one col
lege for women, but at present that
win suffice and provide the state with
the means of giving higher education
to its own daughters, the lack of which
has been too long it's educational re-
proach-Boston Transcript.
The suggested change ought to be
readily agreed to- The Thames is d
borrowed name. while Connecticut is
purely American, and the American
name gives more breadth and scope to
the title 1t is well to have such an
institution statewide and state
broad in its title for it means more
to both the eye and ear This change
really adds prestige to the title-the
name would honor the institution as
the institution is calculated to honor
the state Mr.. Morton F. Plant has
shown excellent taste and judgment
in making this condition of his gift.
