which coal is a fundament. The hucksters assert that they can dis pose of no more than a ton a day. and that their profit is about $S on the t on. Evidently the hucksters get little for their labor. Theirs is a costly method of distribution. On the other hand the additional charge is sore burden to those who pay it. The least that can be done is to furnish the purchasers with full weight. for they are class of peo- pie who least of all can afford to be short weighted.
 The cost of living bears heavily up on all ordinary families. It's weight is crushing upon those who are com pelled, for lack of ready money, to buy everything in the smallest quan- titles.

tard Blow to
 Moving Pictures THEY CANNOT B.c BASED ON SCENES OF COPYRIGHTED
 BOOK.a

Washington. Nov. 1a-Moving pie ture show promoters received a blow yesterday when the Supreme Court of the United States decided that mov- ing pictures, based on the scenes of a book, may constitute an infring cement of the copyright on the book Or the reserved rights to drama tie. The courts decision was an- nounced in a contest over the copy right of General Lew Wallace's book, Ben Hur" The copyright was own ed by Harper & Brothers, book pub- fishers This company granted to Klaw & Erlanger of New York the sole, right of producing dramatiza- tion of the story. eIt appears that the Kalem Company employed a writer to read the story and write description of certain portions of it and that from this a moving picture film was pro- duced The federal courts in New York held that the Kalem Company was a eontributory infringer, not of the copyrighted book or drama, but of the authors exclusive right to dramat:ze his writings and publicly to perform that dramatizatfon. The Kalem Company was enjoined from continuing to produce or sell the films
 The Supreme Court has affirmed this action in an opinion by Justice Holmes.

THE VICTORY

The Initist1Da Referendum and the Recall passA&5sfT an overwhelming majority, AA Foman's Suffrage by 2,5OO. Very eA0DLraging. indeed. But amid all the gladness and good cheer, which this intelligence brings, there is a note of sad melancholy, not exactly sorrow, but resembling sorrow only as the mist resembles rain." For did they not administer a hard slap right on the pudgy wrist of dear Mir. Taft!
 And following hard upon his eu1ogy of the judiciary-those sanctimoni> ous angels, whose attributes go to fill the halls of Heaven with a dis tillation of ectatic bliss" I don't know whether I have quoted him ac- curately or not, but 1t ran something to that effect.
 The people-old Demos in the coll lective-have spoken. Most emphati- cally they have declared that if they possess wit. gumption and intelligence enough to put a judge on the bench. they are equally equipped to pull him off again, if he proves recalcitrant. This is modern and most satisfactory ito every body excepting Taft and few others. They will have a fearful sobby time. consoling one another. Twas ever thus since child hoods happy hour. never loved a flower but the d-d thing died" However, we of the common herd. who have never felt the white heat that beats upon the throne. nor the genial warmth of a Mother Hubbard gown fringed with ermine. will try and bear up under our added fran- chise esponsibilities-when we get them.
 With the Initiative. Referendum and Recall. and Woman's Suffrage, if we can't get everything legislative we require. we don't deserve to get it. Keep the ball rolling. even tho we may crib, cabin and confine MT. Taft's Billy Goat. Let'sl emulate the good example of California.

MAYOR WILSON SHOULD HAVE TIE SUPPURr OF EVERY CITIZEN TO HELP HIM DO RIGHT

There is in the situation one stril- ing gain for progress. Mayor Wilson does stand upon platform. and whatever the source of platform. and regardless of the purposes and intentions of the individuals respon- sible for it, a platform is recog- nition of the principle that the peo- pie have right to know what their government stands for.
 While it is perhaps unfortunate that Mayor Wilson should have been surrounded by the element of his party, which in the last analysis rep resents the public service corpora tions and while his platform, pro- ceeding from such a source. is not thereby appreciated in public favor, yet. there is some gain
 The City of Bridgeport has come to the end of go-as-you-nlease gov ernment. IA poor platform. is better than none at all.
 Hereafter all energies win not be expended in the election of mayor. It will be recognized that the mayor alone is but one element in the city government, an element that in the whole is less Important than the Com mon Council and perhaps less thar. the Board of Apportionment and Tax ation.
 The Common Council is. Demo cratic It should be sthe policy of the Democrats in the Council to up- hold the mayor at every point where his policies are consistent with the desires of the people of Bridgeport There should be no merely partisan opposition from any Democratic of fice-holder.
 The theory of rarty governmen, supposes that parties will act as q check upon each other. but that they will cooperate in what is right. and clash only over what is wrong. or not approved by the common Judgment.
 Mayor Wilson has the best wishes of this newspaper for a successful ad- ministration. It will support him when he is right. It will oppose him when he is wrong. It is to be hoped that he win never be wrong.

MODIFIED HERRING PLAN APPRL VED BY MAYOR

Mayor Buckingham has finally ap- proved the plans for the modified EIering system. This may be said to end ! three years contest, as Q Fresult of which the original Herins plan, which called for enormous ex- penditures upon sewers. has been de 3eated. For this service Hon. Zalmon Good sell b entitled to the. thanks of his fellow citizens. He. and those who labored with him, have prevented an unnecessary expenditure of millions of dollars.
 They have brought a majority of the P1en who favored this extrava- sant outlay to the admission that it Nas unnecessary, and these very gen. hemen have signed a report in which 1&ey assert that the sewers can be

carried along from year to year at nc greater annual expense than has been incurred in the past.
 The opposition to the modified plan was based upon number of considerations, as that the combina- 'tion sewer is superior to the double system which the plan provides
 Perhaps the principal objection to the modified plan was the belief that it might be used as a lever to pry in the abandoned Herring plan with it's pumping stations, and other prodi- .galities.
 Mayor Buckingham apparently does not believe that this will be the case. He takes the ground that the pro- jectors of the abandoned Herring plan have so publicly and thoroughly aban- doned it that it can never be resur- rected.

The Z. S. engineers office reports

BELIEF.

If I were asked what I believe, could
not help but say.
The gentle and the simple Creeds OF
boyhOod's Yesterday;
The tender faith in bible things, the
truth, the way, the right.
The golden rule to live ones life ac-
cording to the light;
And everywhere the thought of God,
that We are everywhere
The children of one fathers love and
of his heavenly care.
If I were asked what l believe, I know
my thoughts would go
Back to a little child at prayer in the
soft evengloW;
And I can think of nothing else so
beautiful, so sweet.
AS PRAYER beside a mothers knee who
tried to lead our feet
In paths Of righteousness and truth
where none could 50 astray.
If I were asked what l believe, I'd
have to say. as then,
A simpler faith in Gods commands, &
manlier trust monS men,
\ clear and more abiding~cOurse that

far out of the secOnd-story window,
lost his balance and fell into the
yard below. Very miraculously he
escaped being injured, and his par
ents and friends were so delighted
that they gave him quite a number
of pennies, nickels and dimes.
The next day, after he recovered
from the shock of the fall, he was
counting his money, and on seeing
his little sister enter the room, ex-
claimed: Gee, Gladys, look at all

the window! Why don't you try
