 Formal Occasion.

New Haven, Oct. 12.-Night work on the Hotel Taft is going on all the time, and up to midnight it is an in- teresting sight to see the men clean ing up. This work is progressing very rapidly, and when that is fin- ished the interior will look quite dif- ferent from what it does now. As it is four stories have already been plastered and the cement floors laid. The machinery to be placed in the basement is nearly all here, and is being installed as rapidly as possible.
 A great many people have wonder which looks somewhat different from the brick walls, is for. This is a cor ridor to be used by the walters in connection with the banquet and ball room. It is made of hollow tiles in order to make it light. Later on. the outside will be fixed so as to look more like the rest of the building.
 Some windows have been put in, but they will probably not be the permanent ones. Everything is in readiness for all the windows, how ever, and should there be bad spell of weather, they can be put in at any time. In the meantime the building is drying up in good shape and will soon. be ready for the decorators.
 MT. Merry, the manager, is busy tables in the two dining rooms on the main floor and half in the rath- skellar have been engaged for the opening night, December 21. Several banquets have also been contracted for. and probably the first Yale event will be the senior german Monday night of Prom week.

PRELATE HITS
 RECALL HARD
Archbishop Ireland Has no Use For it, or Initiative and
 Referendum

Council Bluffs, Iowa, Oct. 12-The initiative, the referendum and the re- cali were termed the weapons of mob ocracy by Archbishop Ireland in an address at the banquet of the Army of the Tennessee here last night
 'The clamor now is heard,' Arch bishop Ireland said, "that the organ ization of American democracy such as the republic has known for a cen tury and a quarter, must be altered, torn asunder under, the pretence that with it the people do not govern with sufficient drectness. Let us hope that this clamor is but a passing ebullition of feeling
 'Democracy-yes; mobocracy, never. And towards mobocracy we are now bidden to wend our way.
 Tn the long run American public opinion will be sure to. right itself; the misfortune is, as we know too well, the people may suffer from a temporary excitement. From the con- sequences of such excitement we should strive to save the republic.
 with the initiative and referendum, legislative bodies become mere bu- reaus Of registration and exchange for popular views and opinions. All con elusive authority is lost to them. A small fraction of the population sets the machinery of legislation in mo- ton, retards or annuls it's decrees. And this for all subjects, the most ab- struse and complicated.
 s"But the worst is the recall Sta bility and independence in office for a lived period of time are essential. Liable to recall, the official is contin- uously watchful of public opinion.
 "The peril from the recall is shown when it is extended to the judiciary. If ever independence from popular clamor is fmperiously demanded, it is when men are bidden to speak in the name of supreme justice, regardless of consequences; when absolute calm ness of mind is the prerequisite to a decision.
 Whatever the social or political revolutions with which the country may be threatened, for the sake of America, let us pray the God of na- tions, let there be no sacrilegious hand laid on the courts, impairing the in- dependence or lowering their majesty. .

Progressive Scores Taft For Being
 Mere Politician
Especial from United Press.


 Seattle, Oct. 12-President Thomas F. Murphine. of the Progressive League of Washington, has issued the following statement regarding Presi- dent Taft's address here:
 MT. Tafts speech was the speech of politician trying to befog the is sues He side-stepped the recall en- tirely here, where it is of vital inter est; he took no position .on conserva- ton and Alaska: he did not say what he thought of the word reasonable in the Standard Ona decision. The en- tire speech emphasized the fact that he is out for reelection z Otto Cass, progressive candidate for Governor of Washington, declared Taft used the occasion ito plead for cor porate privileges rather than touch d responsive chord in the life of the people. It was discouraging to hear the President plead, not for the peo- pie. but that the railroads and trusts should not be abused by the peo- ple."

 To Garry Paddock
Fine Comm endation to Bridge port Legislator From
 Capital City Unionists

The following tribute to the efforts Of Senator Garry Paddock, from the Hartford labor union officials, came to the we'll known Bridgeport legis- lator as pleasant surprise yester- day:
 Hartford Central Labor Union,
 Hartford Conn.,, Oct. ', 1911. Hon. Garry Paddock,
 Bridgeport. Conn.
 Dear Sir:---is chairman of the Leg1sla tive Committee of the Hartford Central Labor Union, I cannot refrain rom giving expression of my senti- ments regarding your attitude on all labor measures that came before you for your consideration, as Senator of the 23rd District. At no time did 1t become necessary for me. during the session, to go to you and ask you to vote for this or that bill, but on the contrary. you frequently consulted me on labor measures, and let me assure you l greatly appreciate your valu- able assistance rendered to me during the session just closed.
 The workingmen of this State owe to you all gratitude for having stood by them4on all labor bills.
 You were true to the principles of Trades Union:sm and at no time were you found voting wrong on any bills that represented the interests of the workingmen of this State.
 If labor could be represented at the Legislature by more men of your type, who so sincerely had their in- terests at heart, as you have had. during the session just closed, am positive we. would secure the passage Of such reform legislation as we de- sire
 Until the workingmen of this State wake up and send more of just such kind of men as yourself, to the halls Of legislation. to look after their in terests, we can never hope to accom- plis'h anything along the lines of re- form or progressive legislation. Having spent much of my time during the last eight months at the Capitol, as the Legislative delegate or the Hartford Central Labor Union, in the interests of the workingmen, l have had the opportunity to observe you and your actions closely and I can say to the voters of the Bridge port Senatorial District, that, they surely made no mistake when they elected you to the high office of Sen-l ator.
 You surely performed valiant ser vice to the cause of labor, for all of which, as Chairman of Hartford Gen. tral Labor Unions Legislative Com thanks, and cheerfully recommend you to the voters of your Senatorial district, and hope that they will give you their heartfest support for any office to which you may aspire.
 Hoping you may be successful, and that any political aspirations you may have in the future may be gratified
 Most Respectfully,
 SOL SONTHEIMER, Chairman Legislative Committee or
 the Hartford Central Labor Union.
