BLUE PENCIL FOR
TEN COMMANDMENTS

The influence of the doctrine of
newspapers relative to brevity in
written communications has had an
unexpected manifestation. Certain
prelat,es of the Protestant Episcopal
church now desire to revise the ten
commandments upon the ground that
those they have are redundant. Rev.
DIR. George B. Williams, canon of the
Cathedral of ST. John the Divine, OF
New York leads the movement.
DR.. williams says that scholars are
pretty well agreed that the COM
mandments as they came from Sinai
were much shorter than they are
now. The Objectionable words were
added by some ancient scribe with a
taste for prolixity.
Says Dr. williams:
why may we not follow the ex-
ample of the Roman and the Lutheran
churches % that we shall not weary
our congregations with oxen and
asses and slaves which they do not
possess?"
Why not, indeed?
The changes proposed are extern
sive. The Fourth comma ndment and
the Tenth would suffer most in YER
bal dimenaon, all would be shorter
1t cannot be said that the command
ments would lose anything in force
By reason of their authorization as
proposed by Canon Douglas.

PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS
HERE AND ELSEWHERE

The progressive movement, which
Is sweeping the nation, appears at last
to have reached even the Republican
party in Bridgeport. The first result
pf the new state of things is that the
oligarchy which exists under the Re-
publican rules for party management
Is seriously threatened, and probably
cannot last much longer
the United States in which the dele
gate system of making nomina tons
continues to be used, but there are
few cities in which the representation
of voters is reduced to so small a
scale.
Hartford Republicans preserve in
part the town and city convention, al
though the direct primary system has
besn applied to some offices, but tn.
than a hundred delegates, compared
with a convention of 36 delegates in
Bridgeport.
1t is an axiom that the smaller the
body, the easier it is to influence it
through the Establishments of spec
1al interests and the larger the body,
the more difficult.
Hence the rank and file of a party
will always be better served by a
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-05-01

large, than by small convention.
Where the delegates are few in
numbers every party contest hangs
upon the votes of small number OF
persons, frequently only one; some
times four or five. 1t does not tax
the ingenuity of those in power TO
find places, or other emoluments to
tempt them. The task of getting a
large number of delegates after this
cLn would be much more difficult.
However, the delegate system
seems to be breaking down all over
the country and direct primaries are,
or are about to be, instituted nearly
everywhere.
The fight of the Republican pro-
gressives will therefore not be for a
halfway measure, but for nominal
lions by the Republican voters them
selves. Their slogan will be: '"The
power Of the party belongs to its
members That it certainly does not
now, but to the town chairman, who
convention of his party is held. and
who then controls the entire Repub-
hcan machinery, naming each dis
trict chairman, and the like, so that
virtually he is the Republican party.
1t is the hopelessness of such a sys-
tenn that keeps Republicans from
participating in their primaries.
The Democratic method of party
government is more in accordance
with Democratic principles. It is
true that the district chairmen are
variably he is named who is the
choice of the majority of voters in
his district. The Democratic city
contains 60 delegates, a
body much less subject to doubtful
influences, because of it's greater size.
But Democrats in city and state have
already determined to make their
party even more democratic The
last state platform declared for di-
rect nominations. Such plank was
also included in the last platform
made by the party in Bridgeport
The Democrats of New Haven al
ready make their nominations through
direct primaries, and have found the
method satisfactory and stimulative
of interest among the rank and file.
The Republican progressives are
wise in what they attempt to do, but
they have undertaken a big task, for
the existing method lends itself to
the schemes Of the public service cor
porations and their represe ntatives,
and any change, or effort to popu-
larize the system, will be bitterly op-
posed.

BANGOR'S CONFEDERATION

The conf1agration in Bangor once

where Is fire prevention on so low a

far less efficient than our own, but
European fire losses are very much
smaller. The reason is found in the
construction of buildings in one coun-

until it burns itself out. The secret
of successful fire fighting is to reach
the blaze before it has made much
progress.
In this work the modern auto
chemical apparatus is most effective
The conditions of greatest safety ap-
parently call for apparatus of this
type scattered throughout the city at
convenient points. But even this does
not guard against the fire of which
TO warning is received until it is well
started
Although Bangor is a small city its
fire, entailing a loss of millions, is al
most large enough to rank with his
toricaI conf1agratipns, including the
last great one in London, when s10,-
100000 in property was destroyed.
That was small one for London,
which has suffered four times In
1886 it was destroyed, and again in
1912 and again in 1866 when fire
swept over 436 acres, and the little
conf1agration of 1894, when $1,000
900 in property was burned has not
been mentioned. But London has
learned it's lesson so effectively that

prospects are excellent. Our mer-

are rising: for the entire country, the
surplus eserves stand among the high

stocks are admitted to prevail gener-

BRITISH ADMIT
POLICE TORTURE

London. April 29.-Now that it has
been officially admitted in Parlia-
ment that cases of police torture do
actually occur in India, critics of the
administration there are becoming so
vehement in their demands for reform
that the English government is grow
ing seriously embarrassed. 1t was
hoped by the government leaders that
their admission and promises of i'm
provement would settle the commo-
ton, The humanitarians insist how
ever, on knowing just what is being
done and how long the government
is going to be about doing it.
The admissions covered the death
of five persons recently in various
parts of India, as result of torture
by the police and the fact that mi
nor torture" as a result of the COM
initial Of suspects to the private Gus

unpleasant results for those respon-
sibie for the system.

Jaw OF A SHARK IS
FOUND IN OKLAHOMA.
Farmer Discovers Bones Of Great As.
ExeeIlensy Preserves.

On the farm OF IL +. Sears, near
Mulhall. Okla..r theer has been dis
covered u large deposit of bones OF
numerous prehistoric animals. The
bones are In an excellent state of pres
ervation. Teeth Of the elephant that
once ranged from the gulf region to
Canada and remains of the mastodon
have been identified. The bones of
many other animals, both large and
small, await the examination of geOlu-
gists. There has been little explora
ton for the remains of prehistoric ami
mails In Oklahoma.
The deposits on the Sears farm bear
evidence Of great age. They are ex-
posed at the base of a canyon wall.
about thirty-hve or forty feet below
the surface of the surrounding region
Above the bones are successive layers
top are the natural humus and heavy
growth Of large forest trees Sears
was digging in the canyon to build a
fish pond when he found the first
bones, which he exposed along the face
Of the wall for distance of forty feet
and to the depth OF six feet. The deep
er he dug the more numerous were the
bones. The bones were in light yellow
earth Of the consistency of decayed
sawdust. Between the strata were
layers Of strongly cemented gravel
The different strata seemed to contain
the bones of different animals. One
large jawbone was filed with long
sharp teeth like those of shark. The
jaw had no articulation joint. but
spread laterally in fan shape.
Mr.. Sears is confident that tons or
bones may be dug from the canyon
wall. He has abandoned his explora-
ton lest he destroy the bones in try.

they should be recovered by scien.

HUSBAND 0VERRULED.
Flats Built Especially For Rabies Will

roof, built exclusively for families

should be barred from tenements be-
cause they had children. A year ago
he married a waitress. Now he says
he has renounced his former opinion
of babies
Gradually his tenements have been

only three in the building, where q

Bartlett frankly admits she prefers
families without them.

children anyway, and as the letting of
the tenements Is now in my hands
