Fines to Equal
 The Gratuities
Request Made by Counsel in Contempt Case Against
 State Officers

Hartford, Nov. 8-The contempt pro- ceedings against Comptroller Thomas B. Bradstreet and State Treasurer Costello Lippitt for paying $500 to il newspaper reporters at the Legislature in violation of an injunction issued July 19 by Judge Williams were con- cluded before Judge Greene yesterday after arguments had been made by counsel, of Clarence Dem1ng for the complainant and by the attorney gen. eral for the state officers.
 In his argument asking for the pun- ishment of the state officers, Attorney Daggett of New Haven asked that the court fine the defendant enough to reimburse the state for the money paid out-$3,300.
 At the conclusion of the arguments it was agreed that counsel for the plaintiffs and defendants should sub init briefs, all briefs to be in within four weeks.
 mainly with the records of the repeal of the original resolution granting the money to the reporters. 4 It was upon that resolution that the injunction was granted. The officers accused of contempt testified that after the re- peal of that resolution they had been assured that the injunction no longer applied and that, under a new reso- lution~they could pay the orders with impunity. They got their advice from Attorney General Light.
 It appeared from the testimony that Attorney Robert J. Woodruff not only drew the claims for services of the reporters but ss.t h= also got the blank forms from the comptroller's of- flee. Woodruff was of counsel for the reporters at the time of the applica- tion for the injunction.
 Attorney General Light in his argu- ment for the state officers spoke brief ly. He asked the court to consider seriously whether the injunction was not by strong implication at least aim- ed at the Senate. and therefore void He emphasized the general legal pol icy of keeping separate the executive and judicial departments and called attention to the action of the comp troller and treasurer before the pay ments were made in asking advice of himself, their natural and legal coun- sellor under the statute.
 Henry c. White closed the case for the petitioners, saying that he desired to go right to the substance of the thing. which he said indicated plainly

They investigated the horrible con- ditions in Chicago, pointed out in carefully considered language the es- sential causes of the social evil-as found in that city and it is pretty much the same all over the world only to have a bigoted zealot, who has the ostrich's facility for sticking his teaspoonful of brains in the sand and refusing to see what he does not wish to see, deny the Report the right to the U. S. mails. Of course he has no pecuniary interests in the matter, as had the infamous Major Gill, of Seattle-recalled from his of- fee by the suffrage of women voters, be it remembered-he is simply an ignorant incompetent, who is uncon- sciously the strongest possible ally of the forces of vice and corruption.
 For know that ignorance and inno- cence are not, nor never were, syn onymous terms. They are, in effect. antipodean. The calm unbiased reading of the report of the Vice Com mission might have been the means of saving hundreds of ignorant girls of the scheming cowardly tricks of the white slaver," and the system which he represents
 But this familiarity with the as- poets of evil-with its characteris- tics and methods-is to be denied them, through the-perhaps honest a little brief authority. Thus also was Senate Document I96 suppress ed.
 Instead of spreading the incalcu- lably valuable knowledge broadcast, through the Press and Pulpit, medic crity dams the path of the stream of wisdom, and lets the evil stew in its own corruption.
 A<prurient prude, who should have been born an old maid with mouth for prunes and prisms, stands in loco pient refusal to permit postal priv ileges to this Report. He should "have his brains taken out and but tered, and fed to a dog for a New Years gift"
 Let us hope that public and Press of Chica go will unite in pouring the vials of their wrath upon his offend ing head, and that he will be only too willing to withdraw from the posi- ton he has taken-withdraw in the interest of honesty, integrity and de- cency which will be materially en- hanced through the dissemination of the matter contained in this report.
 Flew to the line, let the chips fall as they may-no matter if some po- litical henchman of the Hinky Dink and Bathhouse John stripe suffer some slight falling off of "business" matter if a few hundred good old re- liable party-member owners and land exposed; no matter if the young working girl does not attend quite as many cheap dances. and accept quite so many invitations from per verts-which may ultimately lead to her ruin.
 Better think this over, MT. Post Master, You know that only fools and dead men never change their minds. Emerson puts it substantially 'Let me speak to-day,in good round words, what to-day I believe to be true; let me speak tomorrow. in good round words, what tomorrow I believe to be true, even though. it may contra dict every word I say to-day"
 Change your mind.

 The lesson is apparent. The people must clean out the lobby, and estab- fish rule that no man who engages in the business of influencing legisla- ture for hire shall be an officer of his party. They must prevent nomina- tions being made by limited cliques of men, and place the nominating power in the party members, through direct nominations. The evil influence of public services, constantly tampering with the government, must be pre- vented by the elimination of such ser vices, through the process of taking them into public ownership.
