extraordinary matter, in which many are interested, many will attend. Sei- dom does a matter arise which calls for the attendance of the bulk of the electorate.
 Never perhaps in the history of town has the entire electorate come into meeting, to the last man.
 The theory of the thing is this: That the judgment of the voters who vote is better thing to go by than the Judgment of the selectmen when extraordinary matters are under con- sideration.
 But the judgment will always be the judgment of the portion of the electorate that is interested enough to vote.
 The fact that the judgment is not that of the whole electorate is beside the question. No such judgment ev- CT was obtained, or perhaps ever will be.
 The opinion of 1000 electors at the ballot box in Bridgeport, or New Ha- ven, is certainly more representative of the public will than the opinion of a few aldermen and a few members of this or that minor board. The entire government of Bridge port has been lodged in the hands of Mayor Wilson upon the vote of a few more than quarter of the total cleo torate. The judgment is the best that was available under the circum- stances. But he would be sadly ig- norant of the principles that under lie Democratic forms who would therefore say 'let us be rid of cleo tions" let us re-establish kings, em- perors. despots, or tyrants, benevolent or otherwise.
 But it doesn't much matter what the opponents of the referendum say They are pitifully few in number, and yet more pitifully lacking in in- f1uence with the people.

senger was injured.
 Wooden day coaches of the type ot the car attached to the Federal Elk press in this city would have been badly shattered, with consequent work for claim agents, hospitals, doc tors, morgues, undertakers and law yers.
 If railroad managers persist Tn maintaining cars that are little better than collins American justice should provide that every death in such a car caused by accident to the train shall he prima facie mansiaughter, with indictment to lie against the di- rectors and chief officers of the of lending corporation.

muck?
 z. The management deliberately wrecked the performance from the start
 s. Therefore the students were al- most justified in wrecking the thea | tre at the finish. g. The students in a spirit of good natured raillery called for the man ager.
 10. The manager scorned an ex- planation.
 II. The good nature bf the stu dent body turned to indignation. 12. Then followed scenes of de- struction.
 Is. But lamentable as the scenes of destruction were, it was still more lamentable that the stage hands should have turned on the water.
 IA. ,Unquestionably, in theory and fact the students should have gone quietly away and remained content with boycotting the Hyperion.
 Is. But history is full of incidents in which the evaporation of men has led them to do what in their sober moments they would not have thought of doing.
 Is. Football night is free and easy night.
 IT, The management did it's best to enliven it by bringing to the city this particular Parisian celebrity
 IS. To make a bad matter worse they withheld from, her and her stage associates the opportunity to gain the good will of their audience Upon these facts the editor unhesi- tatingly again concludes that the in dictment lies with heaviest weight against the theatre management.
 The New Haven students certainly have kittenish ways. Recently they burned public bridge. Now they have wrecked a theatre. Reading the editorial defense of them, sup pose they go stark, startling mad and wreck a newspaper office. Will that also be an 'impulsive errror?"
 Moral: If you don't like the play, wreck the playhouse.

THE HIGHER CRITICISM IN NEW HAVEN CENTER OF
 ART, EDUCATION, CULTURE AND PLAYFUL ANARCHY

The former '1ady friend' of the erstwhile King of Portugal appeared in a show in New Haven, Saturday night. The audience was largely con- posed of students, who had paid SS each for seats to see a woman re- putedly salacious and a show assured ly meretricious. But by order of the chief of police, or otherwise, some of the merriest jests were omitted and this shortened the performance to such an extent that the curtain was rung down at the end of 45 minutes. whereupon the following things tool. place:
 Students called for the manager, Jumped upon the stage. tried to tear away the asbestos curtain, ripped up the seats in the orchestra circle. threw the chairs out of the boxes. smashed lights and furniture all over the house, punctured the upholstery, tried to reach the dressing rooms of the ac- tresses. pelted the electric sign out side the building and, in short, man. aged, conducted, supervised, operated and concluded-a riot.
 Stage hands and police used all the modern methods of checking riots. except machine guns. They turned on a stream of cold water from line of hose. They bounced clubs and bars on student heads. They took divers studentss to cells in the police station.
 And this is the way New Haven newspaper treats the affair.
 i. There must be an immediate revolution in the manner in which the lessees of the theatre conduct it.
 2. The students were led impul sively to err in their conduct.
 8. But the fact remains that they were more sinned against than sin ming.
 4 The indictment against the Hy- perion company is serious one.
 B. It involves question of vera city between the manager and the chief of police.
 6. Did the said chief order the play shortened by the omission of its

Two hundred cases of typhoid, thir- ty deaths, the unsettling of all busi- ness and immeasurable and unutter- able sorrow are the price which Tor rington has paid for an unfiltered supply of public water.

RAILROADS WILL CONTINUE TO KILL
 AS LONG AS WOODEN CARS ARE USED

If the United States government had a proper regard for the lives or it's people not a car on a railroad in this country could be operated in passenger service in interstate com merce without being built of steel and cement
 The Pennsylvania railroad has vol- untarily put such cars into service. Their utility was illustrated recently when an express. moving between New York and Philadelphia, left the track, the locomotive being finally de- rallied, after the train had run a long distance over the ties. Yet not coach was smashed, and not a pas

THE PRESIDENT ON CURRENCY,

President Taft Is quoted as not be
lieving that any monetary legislation
will be rassed by the present Congress;
which would seem to be almost a self
evident truth. He has no fears how
ever. that any such emergencies will
arise IS TO make immediate legislation
necessary, and thinks that "A campaign

COMMANDER REPRIMANDED.

The dispatches tell of the rather SO.
we're -cprimand administered by Presi,
dcni TAFT TO Commandcr Sims. because
FOf IN indiScrect speech which the Com
pIandcr delivered at the banquet 10 the
| American naval officers in London on
! December ith Commander Sims on that
occasion bubbled over with enthusiasm
and friCndliucss for Great Britain. and
while explaining that what he was
saying was only his personal opinion.
| speaking not as an officer or representa-
| tive in any way of the United states
lGovcrnment, he was extremely indiscrcct
| when be said that nc felt sure that in
case Of stress '.clcrv man, every ship.
and every drop of blood in the
United States would bc offered in Great
Britain 5 defense. 1t was an absolute
certainty that an uttcrnnre like this
would bc taken notice of by repre-
SCntativeS of other powers. and would
he reported to our Government, with
gust complaint. For, no matter how
much Il naval officer may endeavor 10
dissociate himself from his official
rank on I'm occasion like this, the fact
IS that he was at The banquet simply
and solely in his capacity as a naval
| officer of the United States. it was i'm
possible, therefore. for him 10 speak
otherwise than as IN officer
This is the view taken by President
Taft who holds that the commander
cannot escape :'on the ground that
what he said was a mere expression of
mis- personal opinion: under the circum
stances, he must speak rs an official
representative. and he should have
known that the words he used would
at once call for severe comment in
other countries than Great Britain, and
might involve this Government in cX.
pIanation and disclaimer This is so
evident that il needs only to be stated
TO bc recognized as absolute truth. And
so the rule is stated, that when I'M
officer of the navy is called upon in Il
foreign country 90 speak in public he
must remember that he is an officer of
the navy, and that his remarks cannot
lose their official significance. The rep,
rinaud from the President was in
cvitabIc under the circumstances, and
doubtless President Taft has made il
as mild as due consideration for the
relations of this country with other MI.
tions, and the interests of the service,
would permit.

GOV. sPRY ON REVENUE.

the models upon which 20 frame the con
stitution of Utah Their theory was.
and many of them so stated it IN con
vcntion. that constitutions which had
been long in force and were well tried
would be more likely to prove accept
able to the people than the newer con
stltutlons which had not proved them
selves. There was a plausibliiy about
this which it was not easy TO rofutc;
