COURANTS ATTACK UPON JUDGE BALDWIN
 IS AN ATTACK UPON SUPREME COURT

But is it wise, from our contern- porary's standpoint, to give so much space to the claim of reaction? It's who is a Democrat, because Governor Baldwin was a member of the court when the decision was given, and. as chief justice wrote the decision.
 But the COURT did make the de- cision, and if the decision is reaction ary It is the FAULT OF THE COURT, which may embarass the Courant on some subsequent occasion, when 1t desires-1et us say-to take this newspaper to task for suggesting that courts have become a little too in f1usntial in a field which belongs to the legislative branch of government.
 In other words the newspapers which are ATTACKING GOVERNOR BALDWIN in the matter of the Fed eraI Liability Law of 1908 are equally ATTACKING THE SUPREME COURT OF CONNECTICUT.
 Let us do the Supreme Court the justice to say that perhaps their de- cision. when they made it, was in accordance with the law as the judges of the land had up to that time made it.
 But, as leading lawyer said. there are windows in the court room.'' and if the Federal judges saw shining in a new and blinding light, why are the Connecticut judges to blame?

some women wish to vote, why should other women object who do not wish to vote? That policy may lead to confusion, such as meetings to pre- vent some. ladies, from wearing bon nets because other ladies prefer to go bareheaded. Let US have equal suffrage. Then the president of the Connecticut Suffrage Association may go to the polls and the president of the Connecticut Anti-Suffrage as- sociation may stay at home and think
 how foolish it is not to leave the gov ernment of the world entirely to men.
