is MIR. BERGER A REPUBLICAN
(New Haven Union.)

Representative Victor Berger, the
milwaukee, Socialist, asserts that his
old age pension bill will require an
expenditure of $347 ZOO, 900 annually by
the federal government A great
many newspapers stand aghast at this
colossal proposal, though they heart
lily advocate a military policy for our
government, which yearly consumes
twice that amount of money. They
advocate protective policy which
places a tax upon the American con-
sumner of many times that sum- I'm
fact, Mr.. Berger's old age pension
plan can claim close kin to some of
the most cherished policies of Repub-
licanism.
In 1908, the Republican platform
proposed protective tariff, which
would assure "a reasonable profit to
the manufacturer" Why levy taxes
to assure profits to employers and re-
fuse to levy taxes to insure old age
incomes to employees? Germany has
form of old age insurance, and Eng
land an old age pension system. While
Mr.. Berger's pension proposal is clear
ly more sweeping and expensive than
the one in force in England or Ger
many, it nevertheless cannot be con-
demned upon any broad principle of
Republicanism, that has been promul-
gated IN recent years. On the con-
tracy, 1T seems to be in line with con-
s1stent Republican doctrine.

REGULATING CITIES.

The gentlemen who are so bitterly
opposed to the regulation of railroads
and railways have apparently no OBJ
lection to regulation of cities by and
port is city of narrow streets. This
is unfortunate, but it is true. These
streets have been turned over to the
Conn. Company, who derives a large
revenue from the use. There is a
difference of opinion between the
railroad and the city over the amount
of space that the railway tracks
should occupy on Fairfield avenue, in
william street and in East Washing
ton avenue. The city, through it's
mayor and common council, has de-
osded that the company is usng all
the room it ought to have. The
company wishes to occupy more of
these streets and appeals to the rail-
road commissioners. The railroad
commissioners find in favor sof the
company. Thus does the work cf
regulating cities go on Thus are cit
les stripped even of thei humblest
rights. by laws made for ltFsnsporta-
ton monopolies. The wrong should
be fought to the last ditch, by in
junction and every other, feasible
method. '37ba

THE GYPSY MOTH.

The disappearance OF the birds has
increased the damage done by insects
of various kinds that attack trees and
other vegetation, by permitting these
lower forms of life to multiply. This
multiplication has been unusually
vigorous this summer, apparently be-
cause of the excessively hot weather
which has been most favorable to In
sect life. But thus far Connecticut
has not had to struggle with the
gypsy moth, for the extinction Of
which Massachusetts, has spent per-
haps $4,000, 900 of dollars and still
spending. The gypsy moth does it's
damage when in the caterpillar stage.
The caterpillar will completely de-
foliate entire forests, attacking even
coniferous trees. Al section over
which they have passed will look as
if it had been devastated 9 by fire.
From time to time a few specimens
of the gypsy moth have been found in
Connecticut. But the pest has not
yet come upon US in numbers. thanks
perhaps, to the preventive work of
Massachusetts,. A little matter would
be sufficient to destroy this immunity,
such as the arrival of a few females
clinging to an automobile, or to goods
transported by rail. The gypsy moth
multipIies with incredible activity
under favorable conditions and is
difficult to combat.

WHEELERS WE'RE HAPPY
Pleasant Conference of Recently Di.
vorced Parties at New Haven
Shore

New Haven, Aug. 15-The fact that
Prof Henry L.. Wheeler, of Yale, and
his former wife, who recently obtain
ed a divorce, were seen together at the
West Shore Saturday proved an inter
esting topic for converse ton yesterday
among the curious. Mrs. Wheeler in
getting her decree also got a settle
ment of $4,000 for herself and s25, 600
for her child, and the last few weeks
has been stopping at Stamford.
That Prof. and Mrs. Wheeler We're
seen together in friendly conversation
started a report that there may be a
reconciliation, but there is no way
of verifying this at present. Prot
and Mrs Wheeler were in pleasant
conference for two or three hours
They made no effort to conceal the
fact that they had met and both
seemed happy. At the time of the
divorce Prof. Wheeler retired from
the faculty of the Yale scientific
school.

DON'T NEED PRIMARIES.

The dictum that 1.-The Socialists
have no use for the primaries opens
up the way to view of. the broad
difference between the organization Of
this little understood minority party
ard the principles upon which other
political parties are organized. The
Socialist party consists of due paying
members in whom all the political
power of the party resides. A mem
Der suspended, for non payment of
dues is out of his party ana cannot
participate in its deliberations The
nominations of the party are made
by these due paying members. They
act as a voluntary association and un-
til the present year. in this city, were
not required to follow the rules laid
down for the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. Nevertheless the pri-
irary is so far as the Socialists are
mere legal technicality. While this
system works we'll enough with an or
ganization which has few members in
any locality, it may be doubted If
it will operate as smoothly if it reach
es adult proportions. Certainly the
plan is party organization raised to
the last power, and has little in COM
mon with the loose affiliations by
which the older parties are held to-
gether. In fact it would appear that
the system must be difficult to work
whenever the number of party MEM
bers becomes very large. Some would
wish to participate in the political ac-
ton of the group without the for
mality of paying dues. 1t is ex
oeedingly doubtful if the American
system holds at present any principle
that would exclude such persons. But,
of course, the difficulty. remains pure
~ theoretical so long as the govern
ing group in the party remains of
limited numbers.

DIRECT PRIMARIES
IN CONNECTICUT.

The Connecticut Senate, which has
lately been displaying a rather re-
markab BILE progressive tendency, has
now passed by the overwhelming vote
of twenty-five to five a direct primar-
les bill, which, If the House accepts It,
will go to the people for endorsement
on the first Monday of October, the
regular day for the little town cleo
tons throughout the state. Very
likely the sentiment for direct prf-
maries in Connecticut has been in
tepsifed by the proceedings of a re-
cent state convention. If half the
tales told about that gathering are
true it is just as we'll to experime emit
with some other system of nominal
ing candidates for public office. The
bill passed by the Senate has been
prepared by commission after long
and careful work. The primary laws
in force in other states have been
closely examined and it is fair to sup
pose from the personnel of the COM
mission, that some of the most serious
shortcomings of these statutes have
been avoided in framing the proposed
act.-Providence Journal.

THE MASSACHUSETTS IDEA
New Haven Union.)

tTN0W I1dNGn
We call the attention of some of
our esteemed contemporaries to the
fact that the employers liability and
workingmens compensat ton acts, sub
mitted by Mayor Fisher to the present
General Assembly, contained features
which were thought to be unconstitu-
tfonaI by them, and by such eminent
lawyers as Senator Judson, Attorney
Robbins and Attorney Emery of Wash
ington, and yet were pronounced con-
stftutional by no less an eminent jul
d1cial body than the Supreme court
of Massachusetts,
In Massa chuSetts the question of
cOnstitutiOnality was uged against
the employers liability and working
mems compensation acts presented to
the Massachusetts, Legislature, much
In the same way as in our own Leg
islature In Massachusetts, however,
the legislators took time by the fore
lock, and presented the matter to the
Supreme court of that State, for an
opinion. The Supreme court after
careful investigation and deliberation
upheld the constitutionality of that
measure s4
1t is too bad that the Connecticut
legislators could not have bethought
themselves of a similar plan with re-
gard to such of their legislation as
has been attacked along constitu-
tionaFity lines in the present General
Assembly. In fact it might save
considerable trouble and delay If a
plan were devised by which all meas
ures attacked for constitutional reas-
ons, should be presented forthwith
to our Supreme court for an opinion.
We. can see no reason why this should
not be done i'm the future, and we
feel that the distinguished jurists, who
grace our Supreme court bench would
be only too glad to lend their talents
to the problem of enacting constitu-
tiOnal legislation in this state
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-08-15

sounds mighty important, but which
to all others is included among the
frivolities. Among this class of friv-
OILS have been the current stories that
Mayor Buckingham would not preside
at council meeting until the investi-
disposed of. This tid-bit of extra I'M
official political dope has been re-
ceived into columns of newspapers
which usually know. the difference.
How such a yarn could originate, or
why it should be supposed that the
mayor of the city should be reluctant
to be the presiding officer of such
meeting is one of the mysteries that
nobody devotes any time to, because
it isn't worth while.
The mayors only function as a
member of the common council is to
break ties, and sign the minutes of
the meeting, if he approves them, or
veto what he does not approve. There
is nothing in these duties to appal
any Mayor, much less Mayor Buck
inghan, who has taken some pretty
strong positions, as will be discov-
cred when the ground is examined.
The cold, hard fact of the matter
is that the mayor has too much back
bone for other gentlemen who look
with longing eyes upon the mayoral
chair. 1t is doubtless the friends of
these gentlemen, or they themselves,
who perceive absence Of backbone
where a baby would have plen-
ty because none is needed, and who
picture Mayor Buckingham as run
ming away, because they wish he
would.

HAWLEY-HILl FEUD
JudSOnS Senatorial Boom Causes
Comment Not Exactly Common
datory OF the Ex-Sheriff.
(From the Stamford Advocate

(From the Stamford Advocate)
A. f. Howe. who writes so interest
ingly of Connecticut politics in the
Sunday Herald, makes with great Ella
nouncement that Stiles Judson has

Brandegee and Mr.. Judson? The lat
ter and Hawley have been bosom
friends and official associates for
years. On the other hand Hawley is
closer to Senator Brandegee than
bark to a tree. Had it not been for
Sheriff Hawley's support of Brande-
gee against Hill in his own county,

would have been unavailing, pressed

to make a place for the one time
Sheriff in the post of United States
Marshal"
Doubtless they would have prefer
TeO 10 IRE someone else instead or
Grand Army man, but there was no
other suitable place for the defeated
sheriff, who had lost his Job because
he had sold out his own county, and
the neighbors he had known for
years. to carry the prize over to the
opposite corner of the State. And to
do this he worked hand in glove with
the arch-enemy of a Fairfield county
candidate-one who had disappointed
the life ambition of a friend of Haw-
ley now dead and gone. 1t was one
of the rankest things that ever hap
pened in county politics. In Novem-
Der the people of the county gave Hill
1000 majority for Congress, and in
January they were made to appear to
be against his promotion to the Sem
ate. But in the one case the people
voted themselves, and in the other,
it was a legislative vote, and about
score of political manipulators, intent
only on their own personal schemes
and interests and bargains, managed
to juggle the majority of 1000 a cou-
pie of months before out of sight. But
it cost them something to do it. The
Sheriff lost his job at the next cleo
ton, and Buckley lost his'n. And
Fairfield county. in good part, helped
to beat him. For example, of the FIVE
votes he had all along confidently
counted on from the Twenty-seventn
Senatorial district stamford and
Greenwich) he got just one, and came
near not getting that.
