MAY AND DECEMBER.

/ America and American papers are unduly agitated over the announce ment of the forthcoming nuptials of Col. John Jacob Astor and Miss Madeleine Force. Why? Because Astor is divorced and 40, and his bride-to-be is a debutante of IS? No. that state of affairs is not sufficient ly extraordinary to give rise to the usual amount of slush which has heralded the Astor- Force affair, even to the,minute conduct of the bashful swain and the blushing modesty 'of the. chosen successor of his wife and the several correspondents named in his divorce suit
 If Astor and Miss Force had been scientifically selected as the chosen representatfves. the perfect types of the male and female divisions of the human race and their wedding had been ordained as the forerunner of the coming of the perfect human race, there might be lsome reasonable announced engagement.
 But as apparently neither of them is qualified to accomplish anything beyond some possible additions to Amerioa's already overstocked col lection cf snobs, tl1e nations interest in them seems to be based on some false and. unworthy: stimulus.

TRUTH ABOUT RECIPROCITY.

Certain enthusiastic newspapers, speaking of the refusal of the Grange to patronize the Connecticut State Fair if President Taft does, assert that except by the farmers the recip- rocity treaty with Canada is hailed with delight" We think not There is no reason iwhy it should be. It is entitled onlytto a very moderate ap- precdation, since it's effect upon the cost of living, will be little or noth- ing. In thisflatter view is expressed the opinion of President Taft, who has said that reciprocity will not ma teriallyt lower prices, but will steady prices Now prices steady, where they are, twill just about bankrupt the American people. Why not tell the truth? The reciprocity treaty is drawn primarily with the idea of ex- tending the trade of manufacturers engaged in certain lines of endeavor.
 The Canadians were willing to make concessions in tariffs on manufactur- ed products in return for concessions on farm products. That is what hap pened.
 Any benefit that comes to the indus trial populations as a W hole will be entirely incidental. The treaty was not sought primarily to benefit the people. but to benefit certain manu- factures.
 It is most natural that the farmers should resent being selected for free trade competition in everything they produce while they were continued under high protection in everything they buy.

UPSETTING LAWS.

The purely arbitrary nature of the means by which courts upset laws are nowhere more plainly shown than in adjudication of workingmen's com pensation acts. A recent illustration may be drawn from a consideration of the action of the New York court, setting aside the New York state law as unconstitutional, and the action of the Massachusetts court, which has just affirmed a similar law. The truth is that the constitutions of the states may be scanned with d microscope for anything that to ordi- nary human intelligence forbids a state making wise, and humane pro- vision for the welfare of it's workers.
 The truth is that upon this, as up- on every other point, courts can read into the constitution about what the judges who compose the courts de- sire to read in.
 The judges in New York state found that the state couldn't require lHc Ol luJUIou WOTk- men.
 The judges in Massachusetts found that the state could do So.
 Thus has it been throughout the country. The judicial view of what constitutions permit has been modi- fled by the judicial idea of what con- stitutions ought to permit.
 This has all been very pleasant. It has worked perfectly so long as courts didn't wander far in their soc- ial beliefs from the social views en- tertained by the people.
 But now that the social views of judges and the social views of the people are beginning to differ the source of the powers of courts to set aside laws is being scrutinized It is even being denied that the power ex- ists of right. An author of some note has an article in the current number of Pearson's Magazine in which the powers of the Federal judges are dis cussed. The conclusion is reached that the authors of the Federal scon- stitution not only never intended to confide to the Supreme Court power to set aside the laws of Congress- but no less than three or four times de-

HAZARDOUS OCCUPATIONS.

Governor Baldwin's interview rela- some illumination upon the extent to which the judiciary has raised itself as superior to legislative authority, ev- en when that authority is exerted at the direction of the public will.
 Says the governor: 'In drafting any project for such a statute, if made compulsory upon those concerned it will be necessary to take great care, to include no kinds of employment not in fact involving great and special habards.''
 That is to say, a compensation law will be constitutional if it only ap- plies to occupations in which the haz- ards are great.
 But whose duty is 1t to determine what business contains great hazards and what does not?
 Nowhere does the constitution of that workmen may be compensated if they engage in hazardous occupations and are killed, or injured, and may not be compensated in less hazardous occupations
 This distinction rest upon a theory which the Judiciary has built up. It is theory that bears no strict rela- tion to any language in the constitu- ton of this state or of the United States. It is a theory of cobweb con- struction so remote from constitution al antecedents that the connection can not be made by any ordinary mind.
 Yet Governor Baldwin probably states fact of the courts as they are. But what the, courts will do in mat ters of setting aside legislation is merely conjectural, though guess by Judge Baldwin is entitled to great weight. Is it not plain to the sim plest mind, however, that it is the duty of legislatures and not of judges to decide what occupations are haz- ardous and what are not hazardous in making laws to compensate workmen

Roosevelt Defends Compensation Act--
 Criticises Courts

''It is simply nonsense to sup pose that this country will toler- ate permanently a line of ac- ton such as the court of appeals followed in declaring unconstitu- tional the workmen's compensa- ton act" is the statement of Col. Theodore Roosevelt Other quo- tations follow:
 -Four federal judges have writ ten that they agreed with me that the action of the New York court of appeals is so utterly reaction ary as to be an invitation to rev olution."
 My plea is that the court act with ordinary statesmanship, or dinary regard for the laws. ordin- ary regard for the constitution as a living aid to growth not as a straight jacket; the rights of hu- manity and the rights of cifiliza- tion.''
 ''No man who takes the oppo- site ground to that which I have taken in the articles in question has any right on the bench and it is a misfortune to have him there.
 Interpretation of the law must be made from day to day and the interpretation of 100 years ago must not be held immutable.
 ''The Republican party was formed to protest against the very view of the courts, reactionaries now insist we should hold"
 These are extracts from corre- spondence between Col. Roose- welt and Editor Charles H. Betts regarding the coloners criticisms of the action of the New York state court of appeals in declar- ing unconstitutional the work mems compensation act. Betts, who is the editor of the Lyons Republican and member of the state committee, took the colonel to task for his temerity to criti- else the courts and receive the above in reply.

feated resolutions that sought to be- stow the veto power upon the Su- preme Court. Not a few statesmen and many learned lawyers are reach ing the conclusion that Congress holds the power, by simple enact ment, to withdraw from the Supreme Court the right to veto laws. The constitution of Connecticut does not in terms give to the courts power to declare laws unconstitutional. It does however, provide that the legis- lature may fix the powers and juris- diction of all state courts by law, and all Connecticut courts are of limited Jurisdiction, and their jurisdiction de- bends upon the legislative will.
 Here, briefly outlined, are the modern views which have come into being since the people have begun to find the views of the judiciary upon social and economic questions not at all in harmony with their own.
 The leaders in the education of the people have been judges. The chief educator among the judges is un- doubtedly Justice Harlan of the Fed eral Supreme court, who, in the Standard Oil and Tobacco Tax cases, took occasion, in the strongest langu- age to denounce the action of the majority of the court as unconstitu- tional. Indeed Justice Harlan went much further, and characterized the own views held for fifteen years, and as an effort to legislate by adding .o a law something that Congress never meant and would not put into the law.

LOVELY FISH STORY.
This Bass Wears False Teeth-HOnest
 to Winsted!

This report comes from Winsted, the abode of truth of the more impossible than fiction variety:
 "A big-mouthed bass in Highland Lake wears or carries a set of false teeth belonging to James Hurley, of New York, who is sojourning at that resort. Hurley went out bass fishing with Dennis Coffey. The city man, his eyes and mouth wide open, was look ing over the side of the boat into the deep clear water when smell from a passing motor boat rocked the craft and his false teeth fell into the lake

32o-ACRE HOMSTEADS
Nearly 200, ,OOO, 900 Acres Now Available !. for Entry under the Enlarged
 Homestead Law.

The enlarged homestead law permits the entry by one person of 320 acres Of Government land in the arid States which is not, in the understanding of the Government, susceptible of irriga- tion. As under the original 160-acre homestead law, this land can be ac- quired by the settler from Uncle Sam free of cost, on compliance with the regulations requiring a residence and cultivation. The determination of what lands are subject to these double sized homesteads devolves upon the Secretary of Interior and since the passage of the act in February, 1790, 19O, 254495 acres have been designated by him as subject to entry in units of 32O acres. Every month additional lands are thus designated, 9O,242 acres having been added to the total in June

As he peered downward he saw his teeth disappear in the mouth of a large bass, which swan away with them.
 'If any piscatorial artist should catch a bass having in his possession the missing teeth he will confer fa- vor on the owner by leaving them with Dennis Coffey."
 It is rumored that the fish in the lake have formed a union and named the worried bass as walking delegate. Now, whenever a fat morsel comes down, the bass gets the hook in his teeth and bites it off for his eager friends. There'll soon be a tackle famine in WinSted
