THE OLD WAY.

A newspaper with one reform is
like a hen with one chick. Its per-
spective is badly twisted. Since the
public utilities bill passed the Gem
eneral Assembly the esteemed Post
has taken to. exploiting the idea,
day what il for the best interests Of
the state as it was in the days of the
fathers who founded our system Of
government This is true enough,
as far as it goes. But it stops short.
It's easier now. The fathers made a
property qualification for suffrage,
and sometimes a religious quaiifica-
ton. They started the president Of
the United States as the choice of an
electoral college. They hadn't heard
of the direct election of United States
senators. There was not even a di-
rect Or convenient method through
which the people of the nation might
express themselves upon important
questions for the national party con-
ventions had not come into being.
Most of the modern mechanism for
convenient expression of popular
sentiment has grown up since the day
of the fathers. Most Of the existing
demand is merely demand for ini-
proved mechanism. The voters want
to vote directly to the measure, SO
demand the initiative and referen-
dunn. They want to nominate as we'll
as elect their servants, so demand d.
rect primaries. All reforms are OBJ
tanned under the ''old system" what
ever it is. The question is. how. and
with what degree of convenience. The
old fashioned way was to cut off the
head of the kings minister, some
times the kings head. That was
mussy and citizens disliked to resort
to such extreme measures. 1t was
much easier to get at things when
the people took to voting the objec-
tionable minister out of office. Bal
lots take the place of rifles. Direct
primaries and initiative and referen-
dunn merely facilitate the expression
Of the public will, make it direct and
more certain. The people can, Of
course "enlist the services of some
organization when they want ID
make law, like the public utilities
fume and call names and make things
disagreeable through four of five
years, while they are misrepresented
in the General Assembly by their
representatives But how much SIM
pier to take a vote upon the ques-
ton and order the law, just as Con-
necticut communities now order
themselves wet. or dry.
The truth is that many well mean
ing persons, looking within, find such
an excellent set of brains as to make
them believe the duplicates cannot
exist elsewhere. Such readily get
the notion that the collective intelii-

TRADE IN STEEL
 HAS IMPROVED Large Volume of Orders Followed Crisis Last
 Week

New York, october 1.-The critical state through which the steel industry passed last week left the trade in a less un- settled condition with an improvement in sentiment and in tonnage. Official an nouncement of the Steel corporation checked the circulation of harmful rumors and brought out larger volume of mis- celianeous orders from manufacturers for early shipment. Specifications continued to keep the mills operating at an average slightly under D per cent of capacity, and the low prices attracted more railroad in- qUiries for 1912.
 Generally considered, prices of finished products were no lower than during the preceding week, but the minimum prices were more widely prevalent. At the close steel sheets were firmer at BOG to 1 .95c base, Pittsburg, and wire products were better sustained but bars were dull and heavy at 1 .15c to 200 base Pittsburg Structural shapes and steel plates held mainly at BOG base, 1.25c being excep- tional. The readjustment in prices or merchant pipe recognizes the declines that were current for several weeks. The new list on wrought steel pipe, to be issued on Monday, is expected to show a drop of ? to 4 per ton on black and $2 to $14 on galvanized. but the smallest sizes of gal vanized are to be advanced s per ton.
 Steel building orders were increased in number and tonnage and the total fabri- cated contracts for September were only +, 600 tons less than in August.
 Theer was greater activity in pig iron, contracts aggregating S5,0O0 tons. 55 900 tons of which were placed in the eastern territory

COTTON GOODS MARKETS QUIET Trading Influenced By De- cline in Staple and Gen.
 eral Hesitancy

New Yorii, October 1.-The cotton goods markets are generally quieter in conse- Guence of ;he decline in the staple and the hesitancy arising from general finan- ofal conditiors. At the same time the consumptive demand for goods is forcing operations of d fairly steady character i'll primary markets, and mills are being encouraged to resume operations because or lower priced staple and the reassur- iEg hope that goods may be sold in the near future without loss. The constant restriction of production is being reflect ed in a scarcity in many lines, and this is inducing some of the iobbers and man. ufacturers to order ahead and give mills something on which to predicate contin- ue6 operations
 Brown and bleached domestics are be- ing bought from hand to mouth. Wide sheetings are being sold on memorandum pending price revision looked for when the cotton market settles. Staple prints are being ordered in average quantities.
 The initial business on spring dress ging- hams has been completed by the large houses and some very satisfactory book ihgs are reported on the best known lines.
 Tickings are under order for the next 50 days, and shirtings, chambrays and other colored cottons have been ordered frcm several mills for delivery we'll in the new year. Duck is being ordered ahead by the large users in about half the volume of normal requirements.
 Retailers are operating steadily.

STEPHENSON WILL
 ANSWER CHARGES

Milwaukee, Wis, October 1.-United States Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wis consin probably will take the witness stand tomorrow in his own defense against charges that bribery and other corrupt use of money contributed to his election on March f. 1909
 Three members of the subcommittee of the committee on privileges and elec- tions of the United states Senate are ready to begin the inquiry, authorized by the Senate on August 15, into the charges presented at Washington that much of the $1O7, 793 which Senator Stephenson used In his primary campaign was illegally em- ployed
 The charges were the result of two previous investigations, one by the as- sembly members of the Wisconsin legis- lature, who practically exonerated Sen ator Stephenson, and one by the senate members. who demanded that Senator Stephenson be unseated and that tho United States Senate undertake an n- yestigaton of its own.
