ONE CHILD NOT ENOUGH.

There appears to be a misouota- tion of the social doctrine of Olive Schreiner, as set out in her book woman and Labor" She is credit ed with the view that one child to a family is enough. So intelligent a woman would scarcely hold such an idea. If one child to a family could be made the literal rule the extinc- tion of the race would be predicted within a very few years Existing population would first be halved, then quartered and finally reduced to the last surviving pair, whose one child would have no mate.

great changes and civic betterments that have been made in Cleveland, but the author has nothing to. say about the agency of the late Tom Johnson in that result, and does not seem to know that Johnson found in "big business the deadliest foe to honest government.
 A number of cities are referred 70 as progressive, or improved, or in the uplift column, including Boston, Kansas City, Mo-, Chicago, Elmira, Grand Rapids, DesMoines, Rochester, Memphis. Cleveland and Buffalo.
 AS a real indication of the progress that these cities have made, it may be noted that every one of them, ex- cept Elmira, owns its water works, and some of them have also acquir- ed municipal lighting plant. q
 Chicaso's uplift began when it grappled its trolley monopoly in a death struggle and fighting a drawn battle compelled the enemy to be- come in some degree subject to the municipality. At any rate 50 per cent of the net profits of the trolleys in Chicago now go into the city treasury.
 And so instances might be multI- piled.
 Big business put Lorimer over.' Big business fights the public utili- ties bill. Big business strives to make the government of municipali- ties subordinate to the aims of big business. Men cannot serve God and Mammon. Neither can legisfa- tors serve the people and private mo- nopoly.
 The road to the city beautiful will be open to travel when the venal cohorts of big business are routed Monopoly must come under the law before cities can have government, by, of and for the people MT.

WHAT'S WRONG
 IN CONNECTICUT

It was the Hartford Times which the other night asked why the Re- publican is dissatisfied with the action of the House in passing the Banks bill. We find it speaking on Saturday night about "the incorporate talk" which it finds In the newspapers, or some of them on the same subject. We say some of them advisedly. 9th CTS seem to be quite satisfied, so much so that one esteemed contemporary takes two and one-half columns of small type to tell what good bill the Banks bill is. how supremely right and wise it is, and how unjust and ungrateful any criticisms are
 Meanwhile, the utterly unsatisf1ed editor. of the Hartford Saturday Globe prints something which will make it unnecessary for the editor of the Hart ford Times to wonder any longer why the Banks bill Is not exactly popular. The Globe christens it's contribution THE GLORY" OF CONNECTICUT.
 That is the heading of the article which consists almost entirely of quo- tations from the Hartford Times and the Associated Press dispatches relat- ing to the disgraceful charges of bri- bery and corruption made on the floor and in the Hobbies of the House in connection with the passage of the Banks public utilities bill. Here are a few samples:

OLD CUSTOMS; NEW MORALS

In his baccalaureate sermon, "Sun- day, President Flavel S. Luther of Trinity College, condemned "indis- criminate attacks upon men who are adversely criticised because of their business transactions" He finds asomefhing pitiful" in the surprise with which Christian gentlemen of the sort I have described" learn they are objects of public censure. This view does more credit to Presi- Gent Luther's heart than to his cru dftion along sociological and econo- mic Mnes

 xnms came when an awakened people saw the anti-soctal nature of tho inak1tutton of slavery. They be- oame opposed to Christian gentle msu" whose ownership of slaves somswhat obsou1ed their vision of tho new morality. The result was the sEsstest wAr in history. It can not now be trushfuily said that a mAn cen hold slaves and be a ''Chsdsqan gentleman" though he mAof4 be los1ng father, and faith fu3 hasband, as indeed even burglars, homicidss and -highwaymen frequent ly are. aa T9'
 Jwt now we are coming to the end of a long agitation in which certain property forms and indus trial methods have been challenged as the institution of chattel slavery was challenged. Buying votes. em- pIoying a lobby, corrupting legisla- tion, granting rebates, consolidating
 
 plying capital by issue of watered stocks were once not socially con demned. A man might maintain standing as Christian gentlemen" and do any, or all, or at least most of these things.
 But as the crisis hears the anti social nature of such practices are commonly perceived and the citadel of ancient custom is submitted to assault Those who remain within will be increasingly the subjects of attack. They must come up to the moral plane of their times, or socfe- ty will send upon them the deep damnation of hostile. public opinion, and decree regardless of their pit iful surprise
 In every historical crisis multi tudes have been unable to. see the new light. So much the worse for them. They must see it. If they do no longer Christian gentlemen" Soms will be thrust from office Some will go to Jail. Some will be punished whose only fault is that they can not see. It is hard, but 1t will not be otherwise. As the rain falls upon the just and the unjust so falls the wrath of society upon all that society conceives as threatening the common veal. The outworn in stitution must make way for the new structure. Old fashioned Christian gentlemen must don the new fash toned Christian morals

NOTHING BUT A DEAL.

Senator Donovan claimed that the petition of the railroad men was sim ply the carrying out of a pact made in New York between railroad officials and employees by which when the latter received increases in wages, they should resist all efforts to bring about legislation which was to supervise transportation or have Jurisdiction over rates.-Associated Press.

LOBBY VERBALLY DASHED.

Senator Donovan said that there was a brother of a judge of the Superior Court, two state commissioners, commissioner of state internal reve- nue and many other state officers out in the corridors joining hands with the lobbyists in their endeavor to throttle the public utilities bill-Associated Press.

A STMHE.

MT. Chandler to call attention to the entrance to the House of man "wnc slunk in like a snake two years ago when certain members of the House had hastened to change their votes It was high time that attorneys shoulc be prevented from circulating among the members and endeavoring to in f1uence them. He pointed out where the man was sitting in the rear o1 the room.-Hartford Times.
 The Globe sums up its indictment by telling how on the Tuesday night fol- lowing the adoption by the House o1 the Banks amendment to the public utilities bill. the lobby held cele' bration in a Hartford hotel and bought wine for all corners.
 The regulation of public service cor- pora tions is in a sense minor issue besides the great and far-reaehlne ERAL ASSEMBLY? The Republi- can has been pretty consistent advo- cate of regulation of the public ser vice corporations. It would be per- fectlyN willing to see public utilities legislation fail at session after session before the traditional conservatism of Connecticut. But to see 1t beaten twice by one or two votes with lobby ists running around the floor of the House and with honest and careful legislators making charges of corrup- tion and being laughed at for their pains is insupportable.
 If the Banks bill were not favored by the interests it purports to restrain if it were not misbegotten of unknown parentage, and if it were not opposed and denounced by the best men in the General Assembly, the mere fact that money. threats and promises are need ed to get it past, damns it eternally and immutably, in the eyes of honest men.
 The means used to pass it, the open resort to bribery, the shameless scof- fing at public opinion, the substitu- tion of the rule of money for the rule of reason, are an insult to the man. hood of the state and will be resent ed surely and sternly.
 What Connecticut needs just now is not so much a public utilities bill as the destruction of couple of mercen- ary and rotten political machines that pretend to oppose each other on cleo tion day and work together during legislative sessions, and the retire ment from their buccaneering activi- ties of the choice crew of the New Haven railroad and allied corporations sent to Hartford to bribe the venal bully the weak, bamboozle the igno- rant and tempt the ambitious legisla- tor-Waterbury Republican
