sGART. BoYToN'sD RHnIPPIo.

Capt.s Paul Boyton's eommunica- to the newspapers, in which he sum- mons the Bridgeport Pastors Asso- citation to the bar of his judgment, is too fiery hot with the indignation of a man un1ustly persecuted, to take high sai Tank a as poiemic literature. But through the captains words of un- bitted wrath there peeks, here and there, a bit of logic, fragments of the truth that are certain to tear jag ged wounds.
 Such a truth is that in which Capt Boyton refers to tainted money" or the plate. Such another, truth is the reference to the sudden cessation oi the crusade against houses of evil re- pute, after this newspaper had shown that, by simply. printing the name of the owner of the building, every such place could be suppress --. ffas even so staunch fighter as Rev MT. Beard renewsd .the cru sade above referred to, in which the way to success was so simple?

DEATH IN WATER.

The Hartford Courant, speaking of the typhoid epidemic in Torrington, asserts that filtration is the only pro- lection the public can have against this water borne disease. It makes no difference whether the company is public or private, since there is nothing in either form of, ownership to prevent unfiltered surface water from becoming contaminated, by the admission of typhoid germs from the wash of defiling matter on the land.
 There is a difference between pub lie and private ownership, however, Which bears an intimate relation to the ability of the people to protect themselves from wholesale slaughter.
 Hartford owns it's own supply. Hartford knows the danger from ty- phoid and knows the remedy. Hart ford is building a filtration plant.
 Bridgeport knows the danger from typhoid. But it is not building a filtration plant.
 Bridgeport does mot own its own water supply.
 Hartford can do as it pleases with its water. But Bridgeport cannot do as it p1eases with water that belongs to somebody else.
 Do you get the point. citizens?

iIy as some far Tess capable and well-meaning General. Assemblies did things it ought not to have done ana left undone things it ought to have done.
 The explanation lies partly in the obligations of some members growing out of thes Senatorial contest standing in the way of their doing what they would otherwise have done and were expected to do, partly in the uf1for- tunate condition produced through having in the leader of the House ana the leader of the Senate men so at odds that neither was disposed to ap- prove anything proposed by the oth- er and partly outside influence. By this is meant improper influence, that which is not used openly and which involves appeal to the personal inter est of the person addressed.
 Probably no one who knows any thing of this session doubts that there was much of this.
 How far money was used 1t is need less to discuss, but it is idle to say as has been said that there were flew insinuationS and still fewer evidences of any corrupt use of money. Tn fact, the talk of such use of money was so common that it is hard to up- derstand how it can be so flippantly dismissed. Beyond that we cannot go.
 The session was not wholly wasted by any means It passed some need ed legislation and some of this was passed with great difficulty. It de- feated or postponed other matters of serious importance, but that happens at every session.

Capt. Boyton does the Pastors As sociation an injustice in his letter He sees his own persecution. He does not see the limitations of his prosecutors. The crusade against Sunday baseball and Steeplechase never had the whole hearted support of all the pastors. It was the pro-. gram of an element peculiar in it's hatred of conventional "wickedness," and in its failure to perceive that the devil changes his disguise every iit- tie while. Men of fanatical tenn perament easily become the victim of designing persons. especially when an election day is near. Capt. Boyton's prosecutors and the captain himself are the victims of, designing politi- clans, who saw in "a law and order crusade a means of disposing of men in public life who had disagree ably suggested the need of reform among public service. corporations. The pastors were victimized by req son of their unsophistication and Capt. Boyton, because his enterprise furnished the necessary pabulum of agitation.
 Capt. Boyton and the Past6rs' As sociation have suffered, but the po- iitical conspirators have not profited. Lord help the political party that gets you for burden says Capt. Boyton.
 The experience ought to be helpful. Does the Pastors Association now see that its crusade has not been against sin, but against the deliber- ate beliefs, recreations and convic- tions of the people of Bridgeport?
 The pastors invoked the mayor, the police commissioners, the judges, the governor and the United States courts. Nowhere did they receive the relief they demanded The baM games which they opposed were attended by thousands. Upon single day 40,000 men, women and children went to Steeeplechase. To the pas tors these things mean that Satan is rampant, but to most the lesson is that the sheep are wiser than some of the shepherds.

THE NEW HAVEN ELECTION
(New Haven Union )

Fortunately citizens generally and Republicans in particular do not have to accept any such situation in local politics this year as is outlined above, and grin and bear it. In Frank $. Butterworth they have a fearless. honest young man against whom nei- ther Rice nor Martin, nor any of their friends have been able to utter one just word of reproach. Everywhere Butterworth is admitted to be per sonaly the ablest and best man of. the three seeking Mayoralty honors. But Republicans who prefer Rice to Mar tin, like our misguided friend, are afraid to vote for Butterworth, all though they personally prefer him even to Rice, for fear that such a course might elect Martin. On the other hand many Democrats who have a preference for Butterworth ex- press reluctance to vote for him be- cause they might, thereby, elect Rice. We submit this is neither sane nor a proper attitude to take In our opinion Frank S. Butterworth will draw away from both Rice and Mar tin. As many Democrats will vote for him as Republicans, and if every body votes for him who honestly down in their heart of hearts thinks he ought to be elected there will be no doubt of his election on Oct. B.
 In Frank S. Butterworth New Ha- ven is given a chance to elect a May Or that the great majority of our good citizens have been demanding. If Mr. Butterworth is not elected it is be- cause these citizens simply have not the courage of their honest con- victions and do not deserve any bet been getting.

THE MASSACHUSETTS, PRIMARY

(Hartford Courant.)
 The (State- wide) direct primary has had it's first try-out in Massachusetts, and for those cautious persons who have to be shown it is still eXperi- mental-peither a demonstrated suc- cess nor a demonstrated failure. The turnout of voters was too small to satisfy the earnest apostles of the new way of doing things and too large to please the hidebound unbelievers, On the democratic side Governor Foss was the whole blooming show. On the republican side Lieutenant-G Cover nor Frothingham-loudl denounced as the choice of the "state machine laid out his two progfessive rivals for first place on the ticket very cold indeed. The rivals say now that he will have their loyal support. "I went to bed when heard that Frothing- ham had won his nomination. said Governor F.Oss. I'm not enough in- terested to make any comments"
 The Boston Advertiser thinks the results are pretty much what they would have been under the old (state convention) system. The Globe" says the people simply refused to get ex- cited over the novelty The "Post" regrets that the expression of the pop ular will was not more emphatic, but it is still firm believer in the direct primary The Herald" feels sure that Buckingham will be elected. The Evening Transcript is hopeful that he will. It also leans to the opinion that the Massachusetts direct primary has come to stay. But it doesn't like the balolt used, and it thinks that the voter should not be required to an- nounce his party politics before going into the booth.

MODERN ewEA.,PloNs., {, P

There was once a man who lived remote from Civilization who had certain duties as hunter but his on- ly weapon was bow and arrow. One day he learned that there were such weapons as rifles. which were easy to use and killed a long way off. So this progressive hunter, with much difficulty and expense, obtained for himself a modern repeater, which would bring down the game at q thousand yards. He bought the wea- pon on Monday. Tuesday it rained. there was ssafneY in sthellarder, and he fired only "a shot or two All his neighbors, those who were jeal- ous of his progress, and those who had no rifles. set up cry that rifles were no better than bows andsarrows.
 The owner of the rife smiled a lit.illRH Yat .atisl business. wednesday He tried 1t again, but the new arm was unfamiliar and he missed more game than he bagged. Then the neighbors said they were sure that bows and arrows were just as good weapons as repeaters.
 But on Saturday the man had be- come dead shot. He brought down all the game that passed his way, including many predatory creatures from whose hides arrows had harm lessly rebounded. In a year or two the entire neighborhood had been freed of ferocious creatures, and. then the neighbors reluctantly admitted that there Yight be some advantage in modern MaApons. arefoe5
 From this little fable the oppon- ents of direct primaries, in New Jer- sey and elsewhere. may receive an instructive moral. The direct pri- mary will. not destroy all the ene- mics of the Republic on the very first day. But give it time. Even in New Jersey two things will be found true. The New Jersey legislature will contain < more progressive than it ever did before. The reac- tionaries in the legislature will dis play a livelier desire to find what public demands are and gratify them than they ever did before.
 Even boys like a gun "one can shoot ones self better. than gun which must always be shot by "big brother" Direct primaries mean that it's the peoples turn to shoot The people may not hit the target the first time, but the rules provide an unlimited number of chances.

It is, usual to hold wake over the departed General Assembly of Con- necticut, and that ceremony is in progress today in most of the news paper offices. There are kind words for it and a disposition to admit that it met and did it's work under try ing conditions growing out of the strenuous double canvass that pre- ceded the election
 The natural result of the varied and strenuous electioneering was to make a Legislature, of more or less picked men. It was recognized very early in the session that this was an in telligent Legislature. Yet it frit- tered away its time, seemed to be- come hopelessly confused, and as cas-

the entire distance. but most OF the
country was uninterestitng. However,
in the last seventy-ive miles some
grand mountain scenery was encoun-

rode for twenty miles without seeing

FINISH TEST RUN OF
FOUR THOUSAND MILES

Completing a trip of more than 1000
miles, which took them close to the
borders of Yellowstone park, three men
drove up TO the Packard factory in De-
troit after five weeks on the road.
They still wore the garb of plainsmen
necessary for roughing it in the wilds
of Wyoming. Exposure to sun, wind
and rain had tanned their faces to a
deep brown.
Packard ''Six.' a process which has
occupied more than a years time and
entailed continuous driving in excess
of $4,000 miles. The Packard officials
who made up the party are Henry B.
JOY, president; Russell Huff, chief en-
gineer. and E. +. Roberts, general super
intcndent.
From Camp Washakie, an outpost of
civilization In northern Wyoming, the
party motorcd up along the banks of
Wind river and followed the govern
mcnt park road to within ten miles of
Two-Goo-Tee-e pass, which leads
through the Wind River mountains into
the Jacksons Lake country and to
T. the southern entrance Of YelIowHon one
park.
The autoists climbed mountains,
forded streams Of appalling dimensions
and passed through treacherous alkali
sinks. From a ridge overlooking the
Crooked Creek valley they saw 200 elk
feeding on the hill sides within easy
rifle range, a sight seldom if ever en-
countered before in motor car.
The trip furnished all varieties of
road conditions, including grades in ex-
cess of 90 per cent. The weather ranged
from the boiling heat of the praires to
freezing temperatures in the high alti-
tudes of Wyoming In addition to the
three men the car carried heavy
camping outfit and thirty days. rations.
