pie. I claim that in this fight that the Democratic party is the represen- tative party of the working classes and through 1t you will be able. to come into your rights"
 Representative Joshua Meltzer clos ed the meeting in rousing speech in which he said the devil had got con- trol of the Republican party and that with the Socialists on the. other side, the people were between the Devil and the Deep Sea- He exposed the Re publican platform and showed that John T. King was backing measures in this city that were inconsistent with his stand as a lobbyist at Hart ford. He closed with the statement: "If you love your wife and children better than anybody else's wife, why you cannot vote the Socialist ticket" He urged a. hearty support for the en- tire Democrattic ticket.

PUBLIC OPlNl0N
rANo.Rs BONDS

To the Editor of the Bridgeport Ev-
 ening Farmer:
 Sir-I cordially endorse the proposal to issue bonds for a new High School for Bridgeport. This is an institu- tion of such a permanent nature that it may suitably be. provided for by bonding. That Bridgeport needs such a building must be patent to every one.
 The chief mark of progressive city in these days is adequate grade school and high school facilities.
 Bridgeport will no longer be classed with the progressive cities of the country, unless better housing and eonirment can be given to her High School.

gan. that violent corporal punishment

other reason for deprecating 1t. the dan

toward increasing harshness, so that

THE VETERANS SIDE.
Litnr of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. \ letter on the Suloway pension
5ul. published in The Tribune of February
Is arouses me to give voice 10 the Other
side of the question. That only one-fourtl
of the soldiers who survived the Civil Wal
are now living goes TO prove that many
have died in their prime as result OF bat
tie. prison and privation.
The fact that fourth does still live Is
not so much due TO an absence of physical
disability or Of weakness as To the fact
that they have exercised upon themselves
the same iudomitable will power, courage
and bravery which they gave to their coun-
try. Now. in the noble combat with time
II is sad To watch the bending OF the once
erect soldier form, and especially sad Is
the droop. of proud heads becaCse of de
pieted finances.
Does it mean nothing that these men left
business, homes and families TO give youns
manhood's strength and to shed their blood
10 aid In getting the difficulties OF theii
country?
Let the American people with one voice
urge their Senators who represent them 70
delay no longer. but TO pass upon the sui
loway pension bill unanimously. favorably
and quickly. conscious of the fact that
daily. aye. hourly. the angel of death Will
lessen the tax until within few years the
last call shall have been made.

THE TORRENS LAW
Recent Decision by New Jersey Court
Quoted to Show It's Advantages.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: \ recent decision of the New Jer-
sey Court of Errors and Appeals empha-
sizes the arguments repeatedly advanced by
me as To the advantages OF the Torrens sys-
tenn Of land title registration.
In this particular case the owner OF an
apartment house in the Borough of The
Bronx executed contract some three years
ago. before tho enactment Of the Torrens
law. whereby an exchange was Ia be made
for certain real estate I'm New Jersey. a
search Of the title revealed the fact that
this apartment house. through some mis-
take of the architect or builder, extended
three inches beyond the building line, and
therefore, To that extent. encroached upon
the sidewalk owned by the city OF New
York The owner OF the New Jersey prop
erty refused To accept title. and thercupon
the owner Of the apartment house brought
an action I'm New Jersey for specific per-
formance, and long and expensive litlga-
ton followed. From the Court OF Chancery
the ease was appealed TO the New Jersey
Court OF Errors and Appeals, where the
court affirmed the judgment against plain
tiff Judge Parker IN writing the opinion
Of the finai court cited cases where IT has
been held that the vendor must prove that
his title Is good beyond a reasonable doubt
and 50 that It will not expose the purchaser
To litigation. and among other things said :;
The purchaser should -save n title which
should enable him not only 10 hold his land.
but To hold 1t in peace. and. II he wishes 10

REJCHsLAND Or KOENIGREIcHr

REICHSLAND Or hOENIGREICH?
The disposition of the spoils OF war
seems likely after more than forty years
10 be troublesome task for Gerhah!'
The provinces which were wrested from
France in 1871 were naturally ana prop
ery formed into Reichsland, or I'M
peria territory. belonging to the empire,
but not q constituent member or H. But
that was obviously q temporary status,
which in time must give place TO some
thing else. That time has now arrived.
Alsace-Lorraine is sufficiently German
ICED into Elsass-Lothringen to deserve
self government. 1t must have con
stitution and place among the German
states. But is ii TO he German or Prus-
sian, a member OF the empire or an ap-
panagc of the great northern kingdom!
We have heretofore spoken OF The
original draft Of the proposed constitu-
ton. which gave the provinces pretty
complete autonomy, but excluded them
from the Council Of the Empire and left
them under the supreme power of the
King Of Prussia as Emperor. That draft,
prepared by the imperial government,
was manifestly intended 10 confirm
Prlsslan control of the Reichsland. But
the moment the instrument was taken
up for consideration by committee Of
the ReIchstag the Centre party moved
for its amendment by abolishins the
Prlssan suzerainty and making Elsass-
Lothrngen IAN independent federal
state Of the German Empire, repre-
scented In the federal council by three
"votes" That amendment was over
whelmingly adopted by the committee,
against the strenuous protests Of the
Prussian ministers. and 1t WAS made eyi-
dent that the Centre, the Socialists and
not q few Of the National Liberals,

THEATRE TICKET SPECTATORS.

Now that Mayor Gaynor has approved
the municipal ordinance denying theatre
ticket specllators the freedom of the
sidewalks the public may expect at least
the temporary cessation of long toll
Grated nuisance. The war on the specuIa-
TORS has been waged from what now
seems time immemorial. but there nave
never been enough casualties TO raise
the life insurance rates on this danger
ous vocation to prohibitive figure. Like
the poor. we have always had the vora-
cious ticket brokers with us, ana Their
efforts to dispose of their bargains Ill
seats 10 persons venturing within TWO
hundred feet of theatre entrance nave
often put to blush the opportunities ot
the trained panhanders for dimes ana
nickels who alsopl their trade In pub
lie places.
1t has been said that dealing IN inca
ire tickets is form of brokerage not
prohibited by law. and that the ticket
brokers could not be deprived OF Il
chance TO earn legitimate living. But
though the public finds some fault with
the practice of disposing of theatre tick
cts through mddemen AS one cause ol
the high price of seats, it recognizes
that brokerage co"ducted in an orderly
manner cannot easily he stopped ana
does some undoubted service in the way
of facilitating the purchase or tickets
by visitors TO the city. Its chief sruuge
against the sidewalk spectators Is thal
they do their business in an Increasingly
offensive manner. annoying those VINO
already have made purchases ana op-
structing convenient access to places OF
amusement. They block the Sidewalks
with their pestiferous activities ana II
is as disturbers of public comfort rather
than as merchandiscrs that the new or
dinance seeks TO discipline them. The
city is not obliged to license them to do
business on the sidewalks, and it rightly
proceeds against them as an unnecessary
street evil. They ought To hire a hall
md operate an exchange if they want
to continue in the brokerage business.

THE pENSTON RJIT

There are those i'm Washington who
say that if the Sulloway pension bill
should he sent 10 President Taft lie
could not afford To veto it. out Of regard
for his own political future. and we have
no doubt that their opinion reaches the
President in various ways. 1t is certain
that the personal point of view is not
the one which Mr. Taft is accustomed 10
take in the performance of his public
duties. and we have no idea that in this
instance he is larassed by the con-
temptation of political possibilities If
the Sulloway bill, which in its latest
form would add about S40.0OO.0OO TO the
pension appropriation. should command

would doubtless give It careful and inn
partial consideration and then do what
he thought was right
