The Massachusetts legislature has passed a wise law for the prevention of nasty marriages. No marriage 1i- cense will be valid as the authoriza- tiousfor, a wedding unless it is issued at least five days before the cere- mony takes place. The rule is sim pie. but the results that will flow from it are in high degree bene- ficial. Even so much delay as five days will estop marriages made on a bet. those made between intoxicated persons, those made in a rush of fer vor Following the introduction of two highly emotional persons. and such as are contracted by children without consileA AtioEs VI ifh their relatives or natural guardians.

pose upon occasion to vote direct to the measure we shall have an op- portunity to see if representative gov ernment is moribund. Representa- tive government didn't die in Swift zerland, after the adoption of the in- itiative and referendum, but became more representative. But it is of course true that representative gov ernment may have become so rotten in this country as to be incapable of resuscitation. Certainly it long ago ceased to be representative in Con- necticut.
 Is our contemporary sure that the thing it fears is not the death of ui1- representative government? If some of the leading Connecticut journais do not stif1e their terror over the notion that the state will do it. self an injury by absorbing too much progress the Farmer will call them ''fraidcats.'

DEMONETIZING GOLD, OR
 THE ALDRICH BIG BANK

An attempted steal of such gigan- tic proportions and such brazen ef- frontery as to beggar belief is the proposed Central Bank" advocated by Aldrich's National Monetary Com mission This subject will come up in the next session of Congress and it is certain that when the public is informed of the details of this meas ure, which hitherto has been shroud- ed in obscurity, a storm of wrath will break about the heads of its propon- ents.
 Aldrich's proposal is flor a great central bank, to be known as the National Reserve association in which all government moneys are to be deposited without interest. The stockholders in the National Reserve banks, and are to draw exorbitant profit on the governments cash. If there is anything left after their de- mands have been satisfied, the re- mainder is to be divided into several parts, and the government is to get one of the parts,-perhaps.
 But that is only one of the many amazing plunderwinning schemes with which the whole plan abounds. The National Reserve association" is to have the exclusive right to issue rnouav If can creato wealth and loan it at 6 per cent. It will fix the rates of discount throughout the na- ton. It will dictate the price of ev- cry commodity in the stock exchanges. It will be the most complete, iron clad, money trust that it is possibIe to picture or imagine. With the "Na- tional Reserve Association as their piratic craft. the buccaneers of fin- ance may wander up and down the national main, and plunder, pillage and harry until the entire wealth of the country practically has passed inl to their complete and absolute con- trol.
 A simple reading of the bill is enough to make anyone's blood boil. The old United States Bank which President Andrew Jackson put out of commission after it had created no end of trouble and suffering by it's piratic methods, was an institution of economic golden rule, brotherly love and saintly savor, along side of Ald- rich's scheme for National Re- serve association
 It is a little strange that this at tempt to demonetize gold has escaped the attention of those who so loudly bewailed the demonetization of silver.

WICKERSHAM'S SPEECH.
(NeW York Sum-

From the address, rich in beauties of the Hon. George Woodward Wick. erSham to the Minnesota Bar associa- tion we select this passage for it: moderate and conservative tone: Whether Or not such a federal in dustrial commission should have pow CT to regulate prices is of course 3 matter for serious consideration. The interstate commerce law prescribes as a legislative rule that prices for trans portation by rail Or wire or pipe line shall be reasonable and that no un- just discrimination shall be made be- tween individuals or localities similar ly situated. It leaves it to the com mission to determine when the legis- lative standard is departed from an6 to take proceedings appropriate to compel compliance with it. A sim liar rule might be declared by con- gross with respect to the prices ot commodities the subject of interstate commerce.
 We have become accustomed to the regulation of rates of transportation but the suggestion that prices of com modities be. regulated by congress seems novel and radical. Yet the principle on which the regulation ot transportation rates is based is sim ply that when property is used ir
 a manner to make it of public conse-
 quence and affect the community al large it becomes clothed with a public use and may be controlled by the pub lie for the common good.''
 What is there novel and radical about this? It is an application ot ancient wisdom to modern use. Wick ershams S mind is so stored with prece- dents. historical and legal, that. he perhaps cannot trace the origin of his Duluth inspiration. Out of the old fields cometh this new corn. The population of England having been reduced by the black death. the har- vest being great and the laborers few
 parliament felt that the price of la Dor was too high, and that labor, a commodity affecting the community al large, should be controlled by the pub- lie for the common good. Wherefore it passed the statute of laborers ca Edward I'D regulating ''the lusts ot ploughmen and such laborers," just as MT Wickersham proposes tha, congress might regulate the lusts of malefactors whose commodities are the subject of interstate commerce This parliament of the common good 562 years ago ordained that ''every man and woman of our realm of Eng land, of what condition he be, free or bond, able in body and within the, age of three-score years, not living in merchandise nor exercising any craft not having of his own whereof to live nor land about whose tillage he might employ himself, nor serving any oth- er,'' shall serve at the wages custom ary in the twentieth year of Edward the Thirds reign. If he won't serve clap him into jail till he gets surety. Guilt is personal
 In 1851 and 1860 the statute of labor CTS was renewed and enlarged and wages were regulated more carefully and in more elaborate detail-labor seems to have been reactionary-and a whole series of statutes in various later reigns kept up the principle of state fixed prices for this commodity.
 Thus the black death may be said to have caused the proposed Duluth statute of Wickersham, and thus pro gress'' goes backward.

A BARNUM

An American who has had long ex- perience in Paris, says that French people bargain pretty much according to the persons they are dealing with. and that if one chooses to establish an abscrcrsly fixed price, thus cutting out the delays and waste of bargain ing it is easy enough to do so, even in France. When he first began do- ing business in France he chief diff culy was to persuade the people that he was in earnest-au serieux, as the French phrase it. Americans are re- garded there as spendthrifts. Just as the tourist from this country, visit,
 ing the all night cafes of Montmarte, comes home confirmed in the belief that the French people are without i'm dustry or morals, so the Frenchman, seeing the Yanke tourist spending his money with a free hand in such resorts, thinks of him as a Barnum, a slang noun that has become fixed in the French language and is synonymous with our ''boomer'' or 'sbluffer.''- Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post

POOLING WITH THE
 GOVERNMENT.
(Journal and Courier.)

It would be interesting to know up- on what understanding of public opin- ion the state senate acted when Dy vote of 27 to it passed the resolution approving the initiative and referen- dunn as an advisory force in the gov ernment of the state of Connectlcut. It would also be interesting to learn why the recall was omitted from this purely experimental program.
 So far as we are informed, there is no substantial knowledge of, nor enthusiasm for, these latter-day sug- gestions for bringing the people near CT to their own political affairs. They have been discussed with more or less fuency in other parts of the country by men conspicuous in the public eye, but here in Connecticut little or no attention has been called to them. one of the men who has given a sort of responsibility to the subject has been Governor Woodrow Wilson or New Jersey. but unfortunately for him he the days when the calm atmosphere of the college yard held him. He warned his students against all three of the proposed instruments of govern ment, and his reasons for doing so are convincing. His advocacy Of them to-day makes the conclusion IT, resistible that in seeking higher polit- ical rewards he has fallen a victim to mistaken sources of political strength.
 One would think from the action of the state senate that Connecticut had been staggering along all these years without giving the people the oppor- tunity they need to influence the halls of legislation, on the one hand, and to deal out punishment for bad leg islation or political direction. on the other hand. It is utterly impossible for a Republican form of government to exist without the spirit and inf1u- ence of both the initiative and the referendum They lie at the basis of all political progress. So, too, with the recall, it is to-day, as it has al- ways been, in full force in this state Men are being constantly recalled from power because they have failed The people are constantly practicine party platform sare designed to pro, tect them in that privilege. So with the referendum. the people exercise fl every time they go to the polls.
 The truth is that the exercise Of the recall, the referendum and the initiative in their most direct form means just one thing, the death of representative government and the substitution of form of government based upon the impulses of mankind and not upon the force of laws. The state of Connecticut does not only not need these experimental forces in di- rect form to aid in securing the de- velopment of the commonwealth and he people therein, but it needs only 10 enforce the laws already On the

FRAIDCATS.

The New Haven Journal and Cou- rier, which is right about twice as often as it is wrong, has acquired and exhibits violent aversion for the initiative and referendum, even in the advisory form, as these powers appear in the McNeil bill, which has just passed the senate. The writer evidently knows better than he writes for he says. ''It is utterly Impossible for Republican form of govern ment to exist without the spirit and influence of -bothg the. initiative and referendum which makes the total of the man who conceived the idea of educating, his horse to, the spiri- tual benefits and influences of grain, 5eithout ever giving him any, whence the horse died of hamilton.
 Our contemporary fears that if the e,ecrors veIe nSrscrly 70 the measure representative government will die and that there will be substituted a form of government based upon the impulses of mankind and not upon the force of laws

DOG DAYS

The "dog days'' are so called be- cause the Greeks, on first beholding the star Sirius with the naked eye, were wont to sacrifice brown dog to appease his wrath; the general belief being that Sirius was the cause of the hot, sultry weather usually attendant upon it's appearance, and that on the first morning of its rising the Sea boiled, wine turned sour, dogs grew mad, and man became afflicted with all manner of burning levers, hyster- icS, and frenZies. At Argos, a festi- val was held during the dog days, known as "Cynophontes,'' which means that dogs were killed on sight. London Chronicle

A DEVOTED MAYOR.

Mayor Buckingham is spending his late nights and his early mornings in a search for garbage smells. If he perseveres he will find what he is looking for in abundance, we have no doubt since what is so generally experienced by citizens of the East SideT will not long evade the execu- tivd= 1, But the subject in hand is quite other than the search of a stensh, It relates to the mayors devotion to his ideals of public ser vice. Now, seriously, does Bridge port remember any other mayor who would get up out of his sleep at the behest of a changing telephone to hunt in the gray dawn for things that he could not like if he found them?

AN IDOL WITH CLAY FEET.
(New Haven Times-Leader.) ]


 Perhaps you think the Constitution of the United States was framed with an eye single to making it the ever lasting bulwark of Democracy? That courts are sacred" That judges are necessarily wise, better than oth- CT folks?
 If you do y,, tier read Allan l.. Benson's al 'olF "The Usurped Power of Our Co.-ts" in the August Pearsons. You'll learn something.
 You'll learn that nowhere in the constitution is authority to declare an act of congress unconstitutional conferred on the supreme court of the United States.
 Always thought there must be some section conferring such authority, eh? Well, there's no such section.
 You will learn that the authority to declare laws unconstitutional was usurped on behalf of the supreme court very early in the game by no Jess person than John Marshall.
 Always thought Chief Justice John Marshall wholly above reproach. eh ? No wonder. All the school histories rank him but little lower than the angels. He was one of our ablest and best jurists.
 You will learn that the constitution was written to be the bulwark of prop erty, not of Democracy, that if the majority of the constitutional conven- tion, representing the wealth and aris- tocracy of that day, had had free rein to carry things their own way the constitution would have. been frankly, instead of secretly reactionary, and that the fact that it is not frankly a rich mans constitution is due largely to the efforts. of the 16 delegates who never signed the constitution.
 And you will learn that congress even to-day has full power to com pei the federal supreme court to keep it's hands off our laws. Also that it once exercised that power, and that the supreme court meekly took it's medicine.
 All this and more you will learn from MT. Benson's article. Don't be afraid to read it. It won't hurt you. If your idol really has clay feet, it can't be sacrilege to consider the truth about it.
