THE STANDING ARMY.

Bridgeport's Division of the nation g standing army. bulwark of republi- can dnstitutionss sure protection for democracy, guarantee that wrong shall not finally prevail. went to barracks, yesterday morning, the public and parochial schools of the city. This army of the future was divided into two brigades, the larger numbering more than 12,000; the smaller, more than 1000. It's soldiers will learn the truth and the truth will make them free. Concealed among them in frock, or knee pants, are the men and women of tomo-- row. Some will achieve distinction, and some greatness. Many will reach the goal awarded to unusual talent. But all will be better qualified to do good work, and to know the laws of life and society by reason of the knowledge they will receive The blessings these enjoy are of compara- lively recent origin. For centuries education was the possession of the few. Gutenberg, and the schools have made education the blessing of the many.

Governor Baldwin
 Glad Bill Passed
Now Urges Redistricting of State For Senators to Re-
 duce Inequalities

Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin, when told last evening of the action of the Sen ate yesterday afternoon in redistrict- ing the state, making this action an assured thing, expressed himself as very much pleased. He said:
 "I am glad that the Senate concur red with the House. The bill that has passed gives us five districts pretty nearly equal in population. I think it has been discreditable to the state that it has not been so divided years ago. Electing congressman-at- large is only a temporary makeshift, and it was full time to divide the state into as many districts as we have congressn Now I hope the conn mittees will not delay their reports any further with reference to sena- torial districts. I understand that the majority of the committee are supposed to be in favor of no change in the senatorial districts, but that the minority here, again have pre- pared a bill which does a good deal toward rectifying the great and in creasing inequalities which now ex- ist. Unless this legislature redistricts the state for senators in such a way as to reduce the inequalities, it can not be done at all by any subsequent legislature during the next ten years, and meanwhile inequalities under the present scheme will be growing steadily greater, particularly in the

James B, Martin
 Downs Capt. Dove
New Haven's Former Mayor Sweeps the City in Primary
 Fight

By the biggest majority given in Democratic primary in years, James B. Martin yesterday overwhelmingly defeated Edgar s. Dove for the Dem- ocratic mayoralty nomination in New Haven. There was not close fight for any of the principal offices on the ticket, Arthur D. Mullen defeating Captain James J. Kennedy for the nomination for controller by about 1,4OO votes, while James J. Devine defeated Joseph F. McGovern for the city clerkship by bit smaller mar gin The fight for the nomination of town clerk between Edward Fertman and Charles Spreyer was somewhat closer but not enough so to even frighten the supporters of the former, whose majority was over 500
 One of the surprises of the pri- mary was the strong run made by James E.. Connor, Jr., the young can didate for alderman at large, who easily secured a place within the four nominees. The other successful can didates for alderman at large were Louis E. Stoddard, Riley E. Phillips, Jr., and Richard Kenyon. stephen Whitney, a brother of Harry Whit ney, missed getting into the favored four by small margin.
 In the ward fights there was a big surprise in the defeat of John $. Me- Carthy, present alderman from the Sixth ward, for renomination to that office by Eugene R. Hubbard, who got 213 votes to McCarthy'S 119.

TAX LIST. 1911

The Assessors of the City of Bridge port will meet at the Assessors Office, City Hall, on the first day of Septem- Der, and each week day thereafter, to and including the second day of Oo- tober, 1911, for the purpose of receiv- ing the sworn lists of all persons lia- ble to pay taxes on personal property (namely, horses, wagons, automobiles, stock in stores, Fetc.), and real estate. in the City of Bridgeport, making description of all real estate, each parcel being separately described (in- cluding street number). And if he or she shall neglect or refuse to do so. the Assessors shall fill out a list for him or her and add thereto ten per centum of it's valuation.
 The attention of nonresident prop erty owners is called to the change in the law relating to the filing of their lists, as failure on their part to list their property during September, de- prives them of the right of appeal to the Board of Relief.
 Special attention is called to Sec- tion 23O3 of the Statutes, which states that each parcel of property must he separately and accurately bounded and described.
 Post Office address of each owner must be given.
 Office hours-9 a. m. to p. m. ]; Saturdays g a. m. to 12 m.

The versatile Courant added a new slogan to its campaign for promise breaking. Whereas it formerly ad- vised that no heed should be given to the Republican platform promise to redistrict, because Congressman
 Hill might be defeated if left to the 5000 normal Republican plurality in Fairfield county, our agile contem- porary, finding none had tears to shed upon that score, opposed reapportion- ment, .to save Hill to save Taft" Suppose that the next election should be close enough to throw it into Congress. Suppose the election in Congress should turn upon one vote? Suppose that vote were MT. Hills and he were not there to cast it?
 F Thus was Ossa piled on Pellion, hor- TOT added to horror, and fear to fear, until the appalled, and shrinking mind could bear no more.
 The Courant reminds us of the maiden who wept, because her new gown might cause John to ask her 10 marry him, and because they might have baby and because the baby might fall into the fire and be burned to death.
 The effect of this sad appeal ap- peared in the Senate, yesterday, when five votes were cast to .'save Hill for Taft" and eighteen senators voted to redistrict.

THE GENIUS FOR DETAIL.

Whatever you do, do it we'll" is Ia copy book maxim with a wide ap- plication. Among those rare souls who have absorbed this advice, mak- ing it part and parcel of themselves, is Deputy Warden George E. Baisd en, who has been an official ct the weth- ersfield State Prison for thirty-one years. and is now retiring to rest up- on his laurels- ss
 Since 1894 all the executions in this state have been in the prison and it has been MT. Baisden's duty to put the rope around each culprit's neck and adjust the black cap.
 MT. Baisden is therefore an expert in hanging, a fact in which he takes a becoming, though mournful pride. '1t was not pleasant task" he says, "and most men would not hank CT after it, but then the law said it must be done and some one had to do it.''
 So Mr. Baisden did it, with an in- finite attention to detail.
 Sometimes he took eight days to prepare the rope, having it frequently stretched @in a preliminary way, with gangs of men at either end. in a sort of grisly tug-ofwar. It would take him at least three days to tie the knot, for it seems that "a new rope is affected by temperature. and that knots tied today may be too loose or too tight tomorrow" MT. Baisden, with Ire unaffected humility of the conscientious workman, remarks that he would never let anyone interfere with F ms n his work" and, mod estly indicating hoy important it ference, says, that the. Connecticut method of hanging is humane-..if properly carried out'' As showing something of the facility which was created by this genius for detail it IS noted that, whereas only 24 men presented to be hung, the record for the job is an average of 20 sec onds. Rather good work, one would say, and highly complimentary to Mr. Baisden. Fortunate will be the suc- cessors of these two dozen if they fall into the hands of a man one half so assiduous in the business Of their taking off.
 Too bad the late Oscar Wilde had not the advantage of associa ton with this excellent keeper. The Ballad If Bedding Goal could not but have been improved.

THE REDISTRICTING BILL.

The Senate voted eighteen to five in favor of redistricting the state into five congressional districts, yesterday. It is to the credit of the Republican majority that it decided in favor of keeping it's out and out unmistakable platform, pledge in favor of reappor- tionment, thanks, undoubtedly to the leadership of Senator Judson, who has the perspicuity to see that a career of promise breaking is not likely in the long run to be profitable to part ies or statesmen. Not however, that Senator Judson's action 5isi assumed to spring from utilitarian motives, for moral insight is usually accompanied by moral purpose, especially in Sena- tor Judson's case. Senator McNeil is to be rcSngratdlafed aupbnsa fair pre- sentation of the Democratic view of the matter. Nothing could be more to the point than his advice to MT. Hill to vote for good measures in Con- gress. and to cease his friendship for platform sma shing. The advocates of promise breaking, the men and the organs who have proclaimed the doc- Urine that good faith is not for the collectivity, nor pledges to the people worth keeping, were thrown for a loss. The prestige of all such, which . has been diminishing throughout the legislative year, suffered further di- intuition. . Especially is this true of the Hartford Courant, the newspaper champion of promise breaking in Connecticut whose campaign for bad faith and party infidelity was reward ed by the vote of pitiful following
 The redistricting bill having passed the House will be signed by the gov ernor and is assured as a law.

CONVERSELY PHILOSOPHY.

R. T. Crane speaks the simple truth, known to all informed persons, when he says that the he-customs-of--Yale and Harvard conduce to drinking and dis soluteness. His statistics, laboriously obtained. merely emphasize and con- firm what is common knowledge O those who come in contact with stu dent life. Undoubtedly the, conditions are even worse at Yale, than at Har- yard. The percentage of. women m New Haven who prey upon, or are preyed upon, by students is large. The University contains many thoughtful and earnest young men, who are im- bued with a desire to do good work. and who lead moral and temperate lives. But Che atmosphere is one that conduces to drinking. The opportuni- ties are such as lead to dissoluteness. University ideals, judged in the light of the great modern movement to- ward better business morals. are not such as to improve young men. Among notable failures in this direc- ton are constant invitations to poli- ticians whose political morals are of the lowest, to address the university ---.-~p a Yorsions of it. and also the eessesvai of degrees and the granting of special honors to men whose busi- ness careers do not square with the criminal. law of the nation. While University instructors number able.

 Congressman John e. Tilson said that while not familiar with the par ticular plan of the Stevens bill to re- district, he has always been in favor of an equitable redistricting of the state and he is glad the bill passed the state legislature.

ONE FARE FOR ROUND TRIP TO
THE CORN PALACE.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul and the Chicago and North
western railroads have again granted
a one fare for the round trip from
any point in South Dakota to Nit
chell for Corn Palace week. At this
time, it is assured that large num-
bers will take advantage OF this OPP
portunity to visit Mitchell on this
occasion. There is no other town
or institution in the state that offers
such a wonderful combination of ag-
%ricu!tural, educational and artistic
exhibits and high class entertain
ment as is offered by the people of
Mitchell at their annual Corn Belt
Exhibition.
The decorations of the Corn Pal
ace are now fast nearing completion
and they represent something entire
ly new in Corn Palace decorations.
This years design is strictly Egyp-
ton in character and will present a
pleasing variety as contrasted with
the Indian designs of last season.
Mr.. ellis, the young artist who has
supervised the designing and general
decorative work is to be highly COM
plimented upon his ability and sue
cess in this line.
One becomes possessed of a sense
of intense satisfaction after having
enjoyed an entertainment such as is
given on this occasion and partakes
in a measure at least, of the enthu-
siasm that possesses the people Of
Mitchell, which makes the Corn Pal
ace possible.
Judging from reports as well as
from the advertising that Mitchell
people are putting out, Corn Palace
visitors, this year will get their
moneys worth several times over,
and Mitchell has once mor demon
strated her ability to make good. In
cidentally, it is quite pertinent to
right here, on the fact that
there is one price, only, at the Corn
Palace. Fifty cents admits you to
the whole show.
The fact that the railroads have
granted a one fare rate for the round
trip and will run special trains on
all lines makes it possible for every
one to attend at the minimum of
time and expense.

AN IDEAL SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.

Recent issues of The Sunday Rec
ord Herald remind n that Chicago
may fairly lay claim to producing the
best newspapers in the world, not ex
cepting those of New York. The Sun
day Record Herald, in foreign news
alone, has its own special cable SER
vice in addition to those of the New
York Herald, World, Journal of Com
merce and Associated Press. This is
a fair example Of the completeness of
the paper in every department.
Aside from the regular news fea-
lures, there is something in The Sun
day Record Herald for every member
of the family. The special articles by
William e. Curtis are always interest
ing. The sporting section offers four
whole pages of fresh and authentic
news in every line of sport. The wo-
mans section is filled with illustrated
articles on the latest wrinkles in
fashion and domestic science, with
Marion Harland as a regular contri-
butor and Dame C~urtsey's Novelties
in Entertainment" as a valued feature.
The dramatic and musical pages, writ
ten by James O'Donnell Bennett and
Felix Borowski, are admittedly with
out their equal in the West. The
array of splendid special articles by
skilled writer's, finely Illustrated, also
is typical of the high literary quality
of The Record Herald. In the way of
humor there is the comic colored sup
plement for children, besides s. F.
Kiser's delightful Alternating Cur
rents" for everybody.
But the thing that lifts The Sun.

SECOND REPORT ON FARES.

John II. Gates, OF Sioux Falls, ap.
pointed special master by judge OF
the United States court for South Da-
kota to hear the evidence in the case
involving the reduction Of passenger
fares in South Dakota from 3 cents to
21A cents per mile, who some weeks
ago filed a report in which he found
in substance in favor of a 2h-cent
rate, has just filed in the federal
court a supplemental report, in which
he makes rulings upon objections and
exceptions which had been filed by
the complainant railway company and
by the defendant state board of rail
road commissioners to his original
report.
The exceptions were filed at hear
ings held for the purpose after he had
filed his original report. There were
a large number Of these exceptions,
and the special master, in his supple
mental report, overrules all Of the
exceptions but two filed by the com
plants and one fled by the defend
ants.
One Of the exceptions allowed was
complaints exception 20, and in &C
cordance herewith the special master
finds that the company's lines in
South Dakota have been prudently and
economically operated and main
tanned; that they furnish to the state
of South Dakota facilities and rail
road service on which a large part
of the citizens of this state depend
for their present prosperity, and that
the construction and operation of
these lines have been justified by the
public need"
The other exceptions allowed was
complainants' exception 46, which re-
lates to the period of time required
for the reproduction OF the railway
lines.
In allowing defendants exception

PENDANTS did not specifically agree
that the gross earnings, freight and
passenger, we're as stated by the
master on page SO (of his original
report. Nor did they specifically
agree that the gross passenger earn
ings We're as found by the master.
They contend that such earnings were
than shown by compliments,
but in preparing their later exhibits
they adopted said figures. The master
has made the necessary corrections
by eliminating the word agreed
it relates to earnings"
