PROGRAM AT BIJOU
is GOOD THROUGHOUT

The program at the Bijou theater
this week is good from start to fin
ish, and there is an especially good
set of pictures being shown in con-
junction with the vaudeville.
The Eldeds have dropped their sem
sational bicycle stunts but are doing
some very clever trick work. They
deserved every bit Of the applause
that was meted out to them. Elded
himself seems to have an inexhaust-
ible fund of new tricks, each one of
which is as clever as the last.

The O'Hagans have changed their

MIND UPSET BY GRUDGE.
Wanted Rich NeighbOr to Pay Him
$4,000 For His Farm.

Greenwich, Sept 20-William j.
Kenworthy, small farmer, aged
about so years, who has been in the
town lookup for two days on a
charge of insanity made by his wife
has been examined by DR.. Griswold
and DIR. Platti by order of Judge Jere-
miah Tierney of the Greenwich Pro-
bate court. Following their report,
Judge Tierney ordered that Kenwor-
thy be committed to the DR.. Giyen's
Sanitarium for treatment and obser-

Kenworthv is a neighbor of Will
liam Stewart Tod. the New York
banker, who owns $50 acres on the top
of Round Hill in Greenwich, whence

cherished a grudge against Mr.. Tod,
who has refused to pay him $4,000
for the small farm which he occupied
on a life lease and which will become
the property of Kenworthy's four chill
dren when he dies. The Kenworthy
family now work it and peddle the
produce in the village. Mr.. Tod and
the Kenworthys have equal title to
a right of way over lane leading to
the rear of the Tod place, and a few
years ago Kenworthy piled the lane
full of stones to keep Tod away. Tod
removed the stones and got an order
of court restraining Kenworthy from

IDENTIFY sincere, and, indeed represen-
tative of the opinion of many excel

heart of the question.
Any attempt to solve this problem
must begin with the proposition that
many young people are permitted to
go beyond the precincts of their
homes, by their parents, and that
there is, beyond the portals of the
home, much association between
young persons of opposite sexes
1t is true, also, that judicious par
ents do not believe that young people
should mingle much in social inter-
course except under suitable over
sight and chaperonage.

sOULLEss AND vOTELEss WOMEN

The Governors of the five states
where Equal Suffrage has been adopt
ed addressed crowded meeting at
Cooper Union, New York, on Satur-
day evening. They all expressed un-
qualified approval of the working of
Equal Suffrage in their own states
and recommended it's adoption
throughout the Union.
Governor Carey of Wyoming, a
state which has had Woman Suffrage
for Al years. declared that politics
have not lowered women, but that on
the contrary women have elevated
politics, by making the men feel poll
tics moral issue instead of a game.
Governor Hawley of Idaho said
if he could by a stroke of the pen
Immediately enfranchise all the wo-
men in the United States he would do
it, SO thoroughly did he approve of
equal suffrage after seeing it at work
for fifteen years.
Governor Hay of Washington,
Where Equal Suffrage was adopted TT
the last election, declared that if the
women never did another thing with
their vote, they had already, by their
work in Seattle and Tacoma, rendered
great enough service to justify their
enfranchisement
Governor Vessey of South Dakota,
who also addressed the meeting, en-
Enthusiastically endorsed the statements
made by the other speakers as to
the working of Equal Suffrage and
said that he hoped that South Dakota
would soon follow the lead of her
more progressive neighbors in doing
Justice to her women.

nors. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, presi-
dent of the National Woman Suffrage
Association, said: This must put an

New Haven Register.)

'The Yoke" is the key in which the
Bridgeport Farmer sounds this clar-
ion blast against the walls of some
things that are:
In the elections of October 10, Cali
fornia will submit to her people con-
stitutional amendments for woman
suffrage, for the recall of all Off
Gals including judges and for the
mandatory, initiative and referenduc
together with other changes likely to
be of great value. This was the
fruit.-s of the first legislature in
California in many years not domin-
ated by the Southern Pacific railroad.
What will be the usufruct of the first
general assembly that filings off the
yoke of railroad monopoly in Con-
necticut?
Now there are some persons who
will not agree that Connecticut, even
if to some extent steered by the rail-
road which owns most of the trans.
portation lines of the state, is a griev-
Gus sufferer in comparison with what
it might be If it hadn't any such rail-
road system. There are more per-
sons who doubt that the initiative and
referendum, as 1t is coming to be ap-
piled, is an unmixed blessing. While
the majority in Connecticut is I'M

doubtedly opposed to the recall Of
judges, and apparently, SO far as ap-
pears, against woman suffrage. He
who loosely classes all these things
together as features of Utopia is con-
sistently radical, at least, If not con-
sistently wise.
The reference of questions of gov
eminent to the people is in line with
the theory of popular rule, but ex-
perience has shown that the people
should be asked one question at a
time, if an intelligent answer is de-
sired. Still less is it wise to con-
clude that all these things pending in
California, being radical, are desfr-
able just because they are radical.

pound of most of the things that are.

MIR. WARMERS BOOM.

| The Hartford Times makes public
boom operated in the interest of J..
De Yer Warner of this city, for the
Republican nomination for governor.
The Times sagaciously remarks that
the Warner boom would produce an
involuntary collapse in the earlier
boom of Lieut. Governor Blakeslee, or
words to that effect This is true
enough.
Both Lieut., Governor Blakeslee
and DR.. Warner are close to the
house royal, which dominates politics
in Connecticut. But Mr.. Blakeslee IS
merely allied with family of pur-
veyors to this noble house, while the
senior candidate is a member of the
board of directors. 1t is as if the
purveyor of pantaloons to his Males
ty, George v, should present for cleo
ton against the first cousin of his
Majesty, or one of, his sons. Who
will bask in the royal smile is as
easily foretold in one case as in the
other.
But perhaps the Times is wrong.
Perhaps the boom is in the interest of
De Yer H. Warner, a son of DIR.
Warner, who would be much more
likely to engage in such contest De
Yer H. Warmers distance from the
throne would be greater, but it ought
to be near enough to give ullietIS TO
the hopes of the lieutenant COVER
nor. Mr.. Warmers candidacy is
most plausible. 1t would receive the
support of the same intelligent gem
tlemen who engineered the boom of
Mr.. Goodwin, who, by reason of in
creased experience, are more prof.
cient in the use of the methods by
which they secured Mr.. Goodwin's
nomination. All of this valuable ex-
perience would be at the command If
Mr. Warner. and, as he is said to be
a much cannier individual politi-
cally than Mr. Goodwin was, there
would be- no increase in the price.
The trouble with this beautiful
story is Mr.. Warner himself. We
deeply misjudge him, if he is not en-
tirely too well posted to commit him
self into such hands. The fate of
Mr.. Goodwin is too recent The
men that, run booms and the men
that kill good legislation should never
be the same.

end to the ridiculous 1nisrepresenta-
tons as to the working of Equal
Suffrage"
1t would seem, in the light of all
this evidence, that the denial of poll
teal capacity in women, must rest
upon the only remaining unrefuted
theory the inherited cult, Dating
back to the origins of Mahamned-
anism. The prophet taught that wo-
men could have no souls and are
not entitled, except through the males.
to places in Paradise. The doctrine
has been revamped a little, and now
declares that women are incapable cf
comprehending public questions, and
are not entitled to participate in gov
eminent. except through representa-
ton by men. Doubtless no follower
where men got their souls, if women
had none. So the modern prophets
of things as they are omit to inquire
where men got their intelligence, if
their mothers had none.
Among the advocates of equal suf-
frage who most effectually puncture
the notion that there is a strange
law of genesis by which men become
highly endowed by descent through
generations of incompetent mothers.
is Mrs. Emeline Panlkhurst, an Eng
lish lady, representative of a nation,
in which the women have resumed
their function of spanking males who
are constitutionally incapable of alb
sorbing intelligence through the usual
channels.
We take it that the English method
of violent demonstration is a form Of
corporal punishment adopted for ed
ucational purposes. The milder
methods, used in Connecticut and else
where in the United States are pos
sible because of the more tractable
nature and greater intelligence of
American men.
If the five governors have not put
an end to ridiculous misrepresenta-
tion,' Mrs. Pankhurst will complete
the job, when she speaks in Bridge
port in October.

universal holiday, the natural occas-
ion for social meetings, and for those
things that go to make up the social
life of young people. These young
people, who are found in the public
dance halls, are mostly from the
ranks of bread winners. They are
self supporting. They are young, but
they have taken over the duties of
adult persons. or rather have been
forced to assume the duties of adult
the family. AS bread winners in an
area outside of the home they are re-
moved to a very large extent from
the authority of parents, even had
parents the disposition to exert au-
thority to oppose dancing.
Here is the situation. Young peo-
pie do seek amusement. They do
leave the home. They do go abroad.
Where shall they go? Shall it be in
to unknown and secret places, or shall
it be to some place sought by the
multitude? If they are to dance.
shall they dance in great public
hall, under the eye of thousands, or
shall they dance, in obscure corners
of the city, in little halls and out Of
the way places?
The answer, it seems to us, must
be found in the fact that all large
communities, almost without excep-
ton, permit, tolerate, provide, sane
great public amusement resorts, AS
Coney Island is in New York. as Saw
in Rock is in New Haven, as other
places are, in instances that might
be multiplied indefinitely.
1t is all very pretty to insist that
these places universally arise out of
human greed and the iniquity of the
human heart. But the truth is that
they arise out of perceived necessity.
They are not as wholesome places
Of social assemblage as some homes,
perhaps, but they are more whole
some than many homes. They do
not make for public wickedness, but
for public well being. A girl abroad
unprotected by a wise and compe-
tent chaperone is to some extent in
danger, but if she is abroad, and in
danger, and If she is going to dance
somewhere, or seek male companion
ship, or enjoy it, she is in less; danger
in public hall, properly conducted
in asplace like Steep1echase, than in
almost any other situation likely to
occur. The proposition is. as it seems
to US, not to inveigh against the
amusements of the people, innocent
in themselves, but to permit those
amusements,. remove from them the
dangers that they contain, and per-
NIT the natural human instinct for
society and companionship to be
gratified, even if this form of graf
ifieation is not what we ourselves be-
Iieve in

news to every man who believes in
a judiciary devoted to the public
veal. Judge Grosscup's usefulness
as a judge has been much impaired
ever since certain publication in
dulged in many columns of statement
regarding his life and record, which
everybody expected would be made
the subject of a libel suit No suit
followed however. The news of the
resignation of Judge Grosscup is
therefore less a surprise.
