Forsakes Court
 Bench For The ~. -''r J- a-l
 Oyster Business
Judge Mathewson Has Large h. teresfs in Bivalve
 Industry
(New Hyen Register.)

Now that the fight in the state leg islature in the choosing of a judge for the New Haven City court has ended and Judge Hoyt selected, much inter- est centers in the passing of Judge Mathewson who has had the bench for the past six years.
 Clost friends of Judge Mathewson announced to-day that he would no doubt confine himself now to his le- gal practice and to the cultivation of his oyster properties. Judge Math- ewson is much interested in oysrer ity on the bivalve. He has made a scientific study of the subject and for a number of years has been interest ed in the forming of local companies and only last winter, when the Seal shipt company entered the local field valuable lands. It is said that the ex-judge holds a large interest in the company.
 Judge Mathewson was first appoint ed tC the bench of the New Haven City court on April I, 1905. At that time the psesent probation system was in a crude state and the judge recon structed the system as provided by the state legislature. Since then the probation system has played an im- portant part in City court matters and although scored time and again Oy OiiAcidiS WHO OeiieV0u lHdl IL tend ed to cultivate rather than curb young criminals who have been plac- ed under it's guidance, Judge Math- ewson stuck by it, with all his vigor and was ever ready and willing to give the youths of the city who had been so unfortunate as to be arrested d. chance to make good by it's use
 Judge Mathewson's second appoint ment to the bench came in April of 1907 and his third in 1909. The re- cent fight in which he figured so prominently will long be remembered by Connecticut. 1t was a long ana hard fought one. On one side were arrayed the men who had stood by Judge Mathewson for the past six years: on the other were men who did not like the way things were be- ing run in the New Haven court. They won and a new judge came 10 take his place.
 Judge Mathewson left the, bench of the city court with the deepest or regrets. He himself said that when another was declared victor.
 I've often thought that it would be best for myself if I did step from the bench and give my time .o my own personal interests; but now oo so with regret" was the way he put it in speaking of his defeat. '"Nhe work was interesting and l shall ai- ways follow it more or less through out the remainder of my life"
 Judge MathewsOn has offices in the Exchange building where he has de- voted himself since leaving the beich, to strengthening out his own affairs which before were always left to the last.

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRACY.


 There is nothing faltering, uncer- tain, vague or cowardly in the plat form adopted by the Democratic con- vention in Massachusetts, which met to declare the, purposes of the party in that state, following the triumph ant renomination of Governor Eugene I. Foss in the direct primaries.
 It declared for the removal of all duties on food stuffs in general con sumption and for the removal of dut- ties on raw materials.
 It again pledges itself to consti- tutional amendment for the initiative ana referendum, giving the people power on proper petition to veto at the polls objectionable legislation and to enact measures which the legisla- ture refuses.
 The revision of the tax system is urged % as to provide for the taxa ton of incomes derived from personal property.

 s.Befbre our institutions lies a jun- gle of privilege obstructing the high wayu of freedom. To clear this jun gle Is the work of Democracy says the platform.
 The temper of the convention is summed up in the speech of George Fred williams, who said:

LOVE AND DUTY.

The great majority of lawyers in this country believe that the legisIa- fure, makes the law, and that the courts administer the law, seeing that those who disobey it get their just deserts when they come before a judicial tribunal
 President Taft, picking members of the U. s. Supreme Court, tried several times. In each case he got man who believed that the court may leg islate. and each and every one of his appointees voted to make the Sher- man law something different than Congress made it and something diff ferent that the court ha6 seen it, dur ing fifteen years.
 No wonder that MT. Bryan, viewing this miraculous operation of the law of mere coincidence, believes that tt was not chance that operated, but arrangement, and invites President Taft to make public the recommenda- lions upon which he named Justice White to be head of the court over Justice Harlan and also the recom- mendations written and verbal, upon which he appointed his other judges.
 The presidents reply seems hardly to the point. He says. Now was once judge myself and love judges and love courts that do their duty" And then he reiterates the familiar view that the courts ought to be sacro. sanct in the Republic and removed entirely from the sphere of proper criticism, even when it is said by one of courts own members. that the balance of a court has usurped the functions of the Congress of hum dred millions of people.
 A little later MT. Taft may say, .T was once pyesident and Il love presi- dents who do their duty and he may deploreI that those arise who challenge the actions of presidents, but we fam cy his views will be no more weighty then upon that matter than they are now in the matter of judges.

 This is the lamentation of John C.

Surely MT. Chamberlain partner. MT. Hull. was filled with the spirit of prophecy when he said that no scandal should ever cross the threshold of MT. Chamberlain admin istration. To avoid any such risk, the scandal has simply removed the thres- hold.

port would break prices below l..
cents, ana other large interests have
been waiting for II. in order to uccu-
mrlatc cheaper lines OF cotton con
tracts for Il prospective speculative
or inrestmen, holding for long pull.
The argument of the bears is that
this amount of cotton ginncd to No
rembcr represents less than 65 per
cent. of the crop. and that the total
yield. therefore, is over 1880, 900
bales. In conservative quarters IL is.
however. believed that it is under a.
100000 bales. The extreme bears. who
are predicting : cent cotton. on tho
other hand. insist that only 60 per
cent. OF the crop has been glnned, and
therefore by these statements they
attempt to justify the riIiculously eX-
cessive view that the crop is consiJ
erably over l6.Oo01oo bales
The oldest experienced cotton men,
however, believe that the history of
this crop Will show ii developed
earlier and has been picked and
Sinned more rapidly than any other
on record. The Journal Of Commerce
crop report of Wednesday estimate
the amount OF the crop picked 10 the
average date Of October % as IS per

scale of over 100000 bales per day

$4,000 bales. against $4,000 last
week, $4,000 last year $4,000 In
1909, and $500 In 1905. This makes
the total amount OF the crop brought
into sight and actually marketed from
the opening of the season on Scpsem-
ber"1 to date. 4,664.o00 bales, against
i.0SS,oo0 the same time last year, and
100000 the corresponding period tho

While the movement of the crop has
been heavy, purchases by the worlds
spinners and spot dealers have also
continued on large scale. with
spinners' takings this week estimated
at over 100000 bales, against 35o.O0o

Therefore, the increase In the visible
supply of American cotton for thu,

an increase OF 10000 last year. with
the present worlds visible supply or
