ONE GUESS SUFFICIENT.

What is fame and what is infamy
Those are famous whose names have
been preserved because they more
than others served their fellow men.
Those are infamous, whose names are
preserved because they more than
others injured their fellow men. Fame
and infamy are of many kinds and
degrees. The definition varies from
Some men were infamous in their day
who afterward became famous. And
some were famous in their day who
are remembered as Infamous. There
was PLATE, for instance. Posterity
delivers it's own judgments. But it
would seem as if memory must cher
ish those men who are foremost in
obtaining beneficial laws, for the ben
eft of the vast majority of the 'peo-
pie. Something will be owing to

ture who have been first in seeking to

primaries, income tax, Australian bal
lot a tagged lobby and the initiative
and referendum, all of which contain
much of value for the well being and
prosperity of the people of this state.
And so those who oppose this legis-
lation have title to be remembered.
There should be no difficulty in Sc
lecting he who has the best title.
What man is it who has been fore
most in opposition to all this legisla-
ton? Whose cynicism in argument.
obliqueness of view, blindness to the
most in evidence? What statesman
has been upon the wrong side of each
of these social benefits and never upon
the right side of any of them? who
proclaims the doctrine that party
platforms are not binding? Who
stands shameless by his seat and de-
cries the common bonds of social hon
or by which only communities can be
held together, and society prevented
from sinking to a state of savage an
archy. Who in the Connecticut leg

doctrine of devil take the hindmost,

LYNCH LAW AND THE
RECALL OF JUDGES.
(From the Boston Advertiser

(F'rom the Boston Advertiser.)
1t is difficult to see how any man
who Condemns lynch law as indefen-
sible and as inhuman brutality can
defend the proposition for the popu-
lar recall of Judges. For once grant
the principle of the recall once make
it the rule that popular passion, pop
ular prejudice, popular clamor in a
time of temporary popular frenzy
shall be the guide of the courts, and
the logical extension of the same
right to take the law into it's own
hands and execute it's own ideas of
exemplary justice without even going
through the formalitys of allowing a
Judge to carry out it's crazy orders
If the popular recall of Judges 10 a
sound principle of Jurisprudence and
politics, why is not lynch law defen-
sible on exactly the same grounds +?
The principle of the recall of Judges
is founded on the belief that Judges
are not put on the bench to enforce
the laws but to execute the popular
will, Independently of what the laws
may be. The Judge who CONSTITUTES
the laws unfairly, unjustly, can now
be punished under existing law 1t is
easy enough to reach any Judge who
prostitutes his position if the public
sentiment demands his punishment.
A Judge can be impeached and
brought to trial whenever he does
wrong of any kind. There is no lack
of law already to punish a Judge who
does wrong; but the principle of the
recall is manifestly intended to reach
and to punish the Judge who does
right at a time when the right hap
pens to be the unpopular side

voting places with the right" ticket
at the right price. The Australian
ballot is not new in this country. For
spirited men fought for its installa-
ton. State after state yielded to the
pressure of public demand, but not
Connecticut, until two years ago. The
ballot adopted by Connecticut proved
most imperfect. but it was better than
anything that had gone before. It
gave the voters an opportunity to get
a. ballot that no man. had tempered
with and the certainty that it would
be cast and counted, unless he should
egregiously blunder in marking his
ticket 1t did another thing. 1t
placed before each voter every candi-
date of every ticket in the field. 1t
gave each voter chance to cast his
ballot for the men of his choice, some
thing that the former ballot did not
do
The feature of the earlier ballot
which contributed to keep it in use was
the facility with which it lent itself
to trickery. Should the vote be pur-
chased the buyer might follow the
voter into the balloting place, first
making certain that he had no ballot
on his person. Then if he took no
ballot and cast one, he could have
cast none but the ballot handed to
him by the buyer.
The Australian ballot may be cast
by a mercenary voter. But if he IS
paid in advance, there is no guaran-
tee that he will deliver the goods and
the class of men who sell votes will
not take chances of being paid after
the votes are counted.
The interests which wish to con-
troll government are about the only
ones who desire asdebauched elector-
ate and they were about the only
ones who wished to dispIace the Aus
tralian ballot,

POLLS

1t is not wholly from a commercial
viewpoint that Manager Poll suggests
that every one should see alias jim
my Valentine" that intensely interest
ing play which the Poll Players are
so ably presenting this week assist
ed by several members of the COM
pany which played it for two years
in New York the cast including Frank
Munroe Little Helen Ghetto and Mas
ter Clarence Rockefeller of the ORR
ginal company.
The theatregoing public must know
that a. the infinitesimal prices which
Polls charge they are seeing one of
they are seeing it presented in
manner that will measure up to the
New York production. To see this
great play is to learn the extraordi-
nary effort and expenditure Manager
Poll is making to please his local
clientele his slogan of "the best is
never too good for my patrons" be-
ing exemplified this week. Oscar
Eagle has given the production a mas
terly staging and there is no flaw
in the production from start to fin
ish. With more than twenty people
in the cast twenty inividual hits are
recorded and the packed houses attest
the appreciation of the public.
The play deals with Jimmy VAL
entine" a safe breaker but of the new
school, a man who uses his delicate
fingers to work on a safe combina-
ton and who operates by the sense
of touch. Valentine gets pardoned
from Sing Sing and lives straight"
He likewise induces his pals to live
straight and he falls in love with an
estimable girl. Then there comes a
time when the little sister of the girl
he loves gets locked in bank vault
and there is no way of opening it
except the Jimmy Valentine" way.
To open it means self conviction and
not to open it means the death of the
little girl. Valentine opens it but his
heorism softens the heart of the de-
tective VINO has caught him with the
goods.
That is the meat of the plot but
the many situations included in it
make it a wonderful play. John Ince
has the role of Jimmy Valentine and
gives splendid performance of it
while Blanche Hall the new leading
woman is so charmingly attractive
and such an excellent actress that she
has already won the not easily won
Poll audiences. Tom Moore and John
German as pals of Jimmy are splen-
did in the roles and Charles Randolph
and Eddie Merrigan as two crooks
likewise are applause winners. As has
been said every member Of the com.

AMERICA is A CURE
FOR BEGGING.

There are intelligent Americans who
say that the first Syrian immigrants
in this country were beggars. and that
to this day the majority of Syrian i'm
migrants carry on begging under the
guise of peddling. 1t may be frankly
admitted that although the pioneers
of our present Syrian population
were neither beggars nor peddlars.
many of the early immigrants did
come to beg. Diligent inquiry fails
to discover any Syrian In this country
who actually began by begging, and
immigrants of that class would
naturally return home after having
amassed what seemed a competence.
Why should they not have come to
beg? Thirty-three years ago, when
they began to come, the principle that
one must not give to street beggars
was new even to American ears, and
was vehemently repudiated by the
vast majority of well-informed and
well-disposed American men and
women. Even today the beggars who
for ages have infested Italian cathe-
drals and Swiss highways have not
entirely disappeared.
Moreover, for the countless genera
'tions begging has been in Syria a
privileged, if not an honored, calling;
the beggar with scrip and water bottle
has been reverenced, if not esteemed.
The proverbial eastern hospitality in
vincibly lends itself to this attitude.
