Palladium Papers
 Sale Is Ratified
New Haven Publication Els tablished in 1928 Pur- chased by the Journal Courier.

New Haven, Aug. 22.-In the su perior court yesterday afternoon Judge Edwin B. Gager took up the matter of the receivers report and the motion to approve an order for final sale of the New Haven Pal ladium to the Darlington Publishing Co, publishers of the New Haven Morning Journal-Courier. There be- ing no other bidders, the property was sold.
 The transaction was a short one. Only lawyers interested in the case were present. Judge A. Heaton Rob- ertson. trustee. represented the bond holders of the concern, the bonds coV- erlng an amount of $25,000 and in view of the price that has been paid for the property, and the expense that has been subsequently incurred in settling up the estate, it was said by the court officials last night that the estate would probably pay something like 65 per cent.
 The return of the receiver, Howard F. Emerson of Ansonia was accepted, the bill of sale of the receiver order ed and the time of the limitation Of further claims against the property placed at four months from Aug. "A.
 Judge Robertson, Henry C. White and Ernest l.. Isbeil appeared to take care of the interests of the bondhold- CTS, and all were satisfied with the sale and with the work of Attorney Clarence w. Bronson, the counsel for the receiver.
 Attorney Bronson presented a mo- tice to the court requesting an order for the limitation of claims as above noted; return of notice upon the ap- plication for the approval of sale; a consent of the bondholders that the sale be made free of lien of mortgage, the bill of sale excepting a certain Mergenthaler Linotype machine and the approval of sale. All these were passed by Judge Gager in the interest of all parties.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Fhei attentionooff faH citizens is call ed to the fact that there is now pend- ing in the Common Council a resolu- ton initiating the first step demand ed by law before the city may enter the electric sshh Efisl d. y The< law was drafted by the representatives of lighting companies some years ago. It was intended to make municipal own ership of gas and electric light plants as difficult as possible. The required procedure is as follows: Two-thirds of the vote of the common council is required in two successive years. Then the proposition must be submitted 10 a vote of the people. If the people vote no, the proposition is defeated. Now it will be very interesting to note how the aldermen vote when this proposition comes before them Undoubtedly certain Republican al- dermen will vote for the, proposition and with. the people,4 Undoubtedly every Democratic, aldetnan will do so. The Republicans are bound only by general obligation to vote in the interest of the city and the people. But the Democratic aldermen are bound by a party platform which for some years has favored public own ership of public utilities Moreover the Democratic aldermen have eau cused and are bound by the caucus action to vote for the resolution. The agents of the electric monopoly are busy, however. and are employing the usual methods to prevent the matter of municipal ownership of electric light being "even agitated" in Bridge port.

NEW JERSEY REGISTRATIONS
Agent at New Haven for Convenience
 of Connecticut Motorists.

Charles M. Robinson. of New Ha- ven, whose office is in the Malley building. has been constituted an agent of the road department of New
 Jersey for the state of Connecticut. MT. Robinson is duly qualified to is- sue both the full and short term reg istrations of motor vehicles in Con- necticut that are to be driven over the New Jersey roads Until recently it has been necessary for people in
 this part of Connecticut to either pro- cure these registrations in New York or at some point of entrance in New Jersey. There is, we believe, an agency in Hartford, but to people n
 this section of the state the service of that branch is of no cenvience.

iums and he must not commit suicide within six months. But the govern meht is very liberal with respect to forfeitures. It will pay premiums from the surrender value of the policy, as long as any surrender value remains, and the government insur- ance officers advise the insured abso- lutely free of charge and absolutely in his best interest. The government will also advance loans upon the se- curity of it's policies. There is some profit in the government business which is divided among the insured. The funds are largely invested in real estate, and the insurance department does a large business in loans. Ina Wisconsin plan, being modelled upon the New Zealand system. may be ex- pected to follow the same general lines of development.

STATE INSURANCE.

The advances of Wisconsin toward entrance into the life insurance busi- ness mark her as the first of the states to follow the example of New Zealand which initiated Government Life Insurance Department in 1870. The objects of this departure will be sim pie. The purpose of insurance is to scatter individuaI4oss as widely as over the whole body of the people. The state rates are lower than those of the private cora panies and the policies are more liberal. There are virtually only tWQ yePnfitions attach cd. The insured may pay his prem

THE RECALL OF JUDGES.

The Union has already expressed an opinion concerning President TaftS s veto of the statehood bill for Arizona and the reason which prompted the President to take such a drastic ac- ton. Some of our esteemed fellow townsmen seem to imagine that Ari- zona in giving the electorate the right to recall judges has taken an unpre- cendented and revolutionary position. AS a matter of fact Oregon has had the right to recall judges by popular vote for ten years and has never abus- ed that right Many of our states have exercised and now exercise the right to recall judges by legislative vote. In Connecticut judges may be removed on vote of two thirds of the general assembly. In fact forty-three of our states today exercise an auto matic recall of judges by fixed or short tenure of office, and p of these states recall judges directly by legis- lative vote. None of our American states fail to have the right to recall it's judges either by the short or fixed tenure of office, or by vote of the leg islature.
 Follow ng the lead of Oregon and Arizona the state legislature of Cali fornia by an overwhelming majority has submitted to the people of that state constitutional amendment pro- viding for the popular recall of judges. The right to recall judges from office is the logical corrolary of the right to elect judges by popular vote. Today thirty-six states elect judges by popular vote: Connecticut, Georgia, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia elect by general assembly; and Delaware, Maine, Mississippi, New Hampshire, and New Jersey appoint them. The advisability of the people recalling their judges is no more open to criticism than the advisability of their electing their judges.
 The right to recall judges is too well established a principle to be unthink- ingly assailed at this late day. The only question evolved in this matter is not whether judges should be recalled, be- cause that has long since been decided in the affirmative; but rather, whether the people should exercise this directly themselves or delegate it to their legislators. And this is an issue upon which much can be said on both sides.
 If the, people of Arizona had dele gated their right to recall their judges to their legislature and had not in- sisted upon exercising this right di- rectly themselves. President Taft would not have vetoed their admission to statehood. His veto, therefore is not against the recall of judges: but against the peoples direct exercise of a right to recall their judges, which is an entirely different matter from the one which many praisers of MT. Taft's action are trying to make out-New Haven Union

Splendid Auto Show.

One of the moet attractive exhibits
to be seen on the state fair grounds
the week of Sept. 4th will be the i'm
m ense automobile show to be held as
usual in the grandstand exhibition
room.
The interior of this space has been
handsomely decorated and improved
in many ways both as to appearance
and as to convenience for exhibitors
and visitors. The floor has been
painted, the spaces marked off with
iron posts connected with nickle
chains, and the interior will present
an attractive appearance when filled
with the new 1911 models of cars.
Big business is done by all the ex-
hibitors at the annual state fair show
and many of the largest exhibitors IN
the Twin Cities as we'll as some from
surrounding cities will make every
effort to put their best foot forward
in arranging their displays. 1t is ex-
pected the accessory division this year
will be more comprehensive than ever
before.

Progress of Preparation.

AS Sept. 4th grows nearer there is
increased activity in all departments
of the Minnesota State Agricultural
Society, the officers of which are pre-
pairing to present the biggest and best
fair and exposition ever seen anywhere.
Practically ten thousand premium
lists have already been sent out and
the favor with which they have been
received is gratifying to the officers
and directors and presages record
breaking exhibits in every department.
A larger number of entries than has
ever before been received at this time
of the year has already been sent in.
Entries from all over the state and
outside have already been received
for the agricultural, county fair and
school exhibits, In the horses, cattle,
sheep and swine departments the most
successful live stock breeders of the
United States and Canada have signi-
fed their intention of being represented.
Chicken fanciers throughout the
Northwest are showing unusual in
terest in this years poultry show. The
majority of the manufacturers OF ma
chinery and farm implements have
already expressed desire for space
and m any of them have secured their
location on the grounds. Two or three
new permanent exhibit buildings will
be erected by machinery companies.
Word from all parts OF the state
and the Northwest indicates a greater
interest than eyer before in the Min
nesota fair and it is hard to foresee
any event that will prevent the 1911
exposition distanciDg ill OF its prede-
cessors.

HEAVY RAINFALL
Two Electrical Storms Pass
/ Over !, ~ Nsv !. u'n Sunday Even.
inG. Lishsniiax Strikes 'F'h Il
Several Places.
Crowds Driven to Cover.

Capricious Nature asserted herself
somewhat veheaently in the two vio-
lent thunderstorms which passed over
the city Sunday evening, accompanied
by . display ofelectrical phenomena UNI
equalled by other storms of this year.
Crash followed crash With bewilder-
ing frequency, and the crowds that had
gathered in German Park for the con-
cert which was postponed on. account
Of the rain in the afternoon, sought
cover in the Princes Theatre, filling
the house to overlooking. The FIRST
storm began about 900 P. NJ. with q
deluge ofrain,t the single drops of which
covered areas on the sidewalks three
inches in diameter ard soon had the
cutters filled with rushing water. The
second storm struck here about 1000
P. NJ, and the electrical disturbances
we're repeated with greater violence
than before. The weather Of this year
would MAKE an interesting photograph
ical study. During the hot season of
June, when rain would have been more
expected and welcome, We had dry
season; now, when the temperature has
become more besrsble, We are getting
the rain we should have had then.
Sunday nights storms, accompanied
by electrical displays of unsurpassed
grandeur, did not pass over our city
without leaving its traces behind it.
Barring the fright and anxiety caused
by the unusual turbulence of the storm
the following casualties are recorded ::
Lightning struck the home of Eugene
Koehler On South Broadway, wrecking
the chimney. The family, consisting
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Koehler and three
children, had already retired. Mr..
Koehler arose on account of severe
headache and was sitting in chair in
close proximity to the chimney when
the crash came. The whole family
was stunned for the time being. The
chimney was demolished, the shock
throwing the bricks about the yard.
After passing down the chimney into
the cellar the bolt passed out the win
dow, doing 40 further damage.
The electric light and telephone
service was paralyzed at the North
western depot by stroke oflightning.
Lightning struck grain stack on
the farm of Anton Stetten in West
Newton, totally destroying it.
A tree in front of Gott]ieb Schmidt's
residence at 122 So. Front Str, was
also struck, shattering and splinteripg
it to such an extent that the tree will
necessarily be removed. Several
houses in the city must have been
struck by lightning, as reports came
in that the electric lights we're put out
and the inhabitants shocked by the
lightning.
Telegraph and railroad service
suffered no inconvenience on account
of the storm.
