PENROSE, OIL LACKEY

Evidence accumulates to prove that the trusts have been financing poli- tics. furnishing enormous sums oi money to politicians in whom they had confidence. .,s The defence of Senator Penrose to tise charge that the Standard oil Co. pzzd him es25.Ooo throws an interesting light into the temple of political ffnancs.
 Penrose says that the money was part of q fund of s125,eoo contributed Go tle Roosevelt campaign in 1904. Thi@ Roosevelt denies. Either way. the money was used to get political re suits desired by MT. Rockefeller and : his friends.
 whether any payment was made to Penrose for his personal use is not inn portant.
 The fact that he received such a sum of money from such a. source shows that he was in the confidence of the oil monarch, and a trusted statesman of the Standard oil pluto cracy.
 This being so his usefulness to the peoHle is destroyed. Private life is the very least fate that should over take him. {

A GREAT SPEECH.
(Hartford Times.l

Governor Marshall of Indiana deIiv- cred an address in accepting the Dem- ocratic nomination for vice-president which will be of great service as a all really progressive and thought full citizens this passage:
 The contending forces of political life are commonly denominated reactionary and revolutionary. They are the pa ternalistic forces of the Republican party which would draw our govern ment out of it's orbit and consume it in the fiery heat of the lust and greed of the favored few, and the socialistic forces which would draw it away from it's constitutional conception of three coordinate branches and from it's guaranty to each individual of an op- pMtunity to assert his natural and ac- |quired talents in an honest endeavor to succeed. The historic Democratic party, of which I am an humble mem Der, stands between these contending forces and believes that some harvests for humanity may be garnered by pro- ceedings in the old orbit which the fathers founded, by meeting in the old way each generation of men as they shall rise, by never forgetting that this government was founded, not for busi- ness nor success, nor for incompetency and for failure, but to guarantee in lawful ways the opportunity of every man for liberty and for the pursuit of happiness. Old principles applied in new ways will convince these two ex- tremes of thought that our historic party can make exist what now is but name-Democracy under a represen- tative form of government.
 Governor Marshall's address far ex- cels in literary merit and in it's mas tery of political principles any state nent that has been put forth by a candidate for the presidency dur ing the past thirty years.
 The Indiana governor as tho second man on the Democratic national ticket is surely the right man in the right place. He is likely to be a most avail- able candidate for the office of presi- dent in the future, should his services in that office be required

MORE AUTO ACCIDENTS.
(MiddletoMn Sun.l

tgE
 Sunday the telegraph reported an- other auto accident on the road in Milford, which leads from New Haven to Bridgeport. These accidents occur so frequently either the road is in a dangerous condition; or there are -too many road houses in Stratford where inspiration is kept in bottles; or the number of autos must be very great Every few days there is an accident in Milford. Such was the case when a young lady from New Haven was killed, as she was riding out with a grand juror from Windsor-an elderly married man. The secret is out, re- gardless of the fact that the New Ha- ven coroner refused to discuss the case. Naturally the grand juror did not wish to talk about the affair, and so kept quiet. The remarkable thing about this performance is that instead of taking Miss Corelli home to New Haven from Savin Rock the accident occurred in Milford near the Stratferd line. Somebody should be required to explain where the party went. why it went, and whether the men had been drinking beer or something stronger. The proprietor of the Stratford road house might throw some light on these points,

HILLHOUSE FILES
 SUIT AGAINST
 YALE UNIVERSITY

New Haven. Aug. 2s.-James Hill- house has had papers served upon Yale university and George Parnnly Day, treasurer, of the university in an action wherein he claims $500 dam ages and an injunction to restrain Yale, its agents, servants, attorneys, or students from entering upon any portion of Mann Terrace upon the Hillhouse property except a strip 12 feet wide and restraining Yale: or its agents from using the 12-foot strip for other purpose than for passage in any direction from one side of Mann Terrace to the other.
 At the same time papers were serv- ed upon the Dennelly company in an order for $500 damages claimed to have been done by truck of the de- fendaht to the plaintiffs driveway after the plaintiff had forbidden the driver to use the driveway.
 The suit against Yale, and in fact both suits, are the outcome of the disa agreement between MT. Hillhouse and the university as to the terms of the deed under which Yale university purchased the Hillhouse property on Sachem, Prospect and Edwards streets and HillhouSe avenue.

BOY SCOUTS.


 The letter signed Historian" on the boy scout movement, which was published in The Times on Tuesday, as very good so far as it went, but it did not exhaust the subject, by any means.
 There are two serious objections to this movement wholly apart from the question whether it is necessary and desirable to stimulate an interest in the military life in the minds of the boys of the United States of America. One of these objections is that the boy scout organization is wholly Eng llsh in it's origin and purpose. It was devised by those people in Great Brit ain who are opposed to the system Of universal military training which exists in Germany, France and other countries of continental Europe For those excellent and thorough systems the boy scout scheme is a very poor, ineffective and inadequate substitute. It is also an illogical device. If the British people propose to engage in a successful war on land with any other country they have got to adopt the continental system of universal mili- tary education and drill, and make of the country. This training should not begin before the youths have at- tatned the age of IS years.
 The second reason for obejcting to the boy scout business is that it lacks the essential element of military life and tends away from rather than to- ward military efficiency. The first thing that any soldier has to learn is implicit, unquestioning obedience to a superior authority. This spirit cannot exist if the soldier has any share in the selection of his commanding off, cers. In the United States regular ar my and in any other real army the | Gg1fN 1 <.<l9 cers are separated by an absolute bar rier, and criticism of an officer by a soldier is an offense for which the se- verest punishment can be immediate ly admins tered
 An army in which the soldiers choose their own commanders is not an army at all, but a cooperative as- sociation. It is true that volunteers may become very good soldiers, if they decide, after reaching manhood, to adopt soldering as vocation. But the only system of military training that is really worth while is that which originated in Germany, which takes every youth, be he rich or poor, high born or low-born, and makes him over into an efficient unit of national mil- itary organization. The drilling, the physical development, and the general education which the young men of Germany are compelled to receive, tend  izens and is the chief source of the efficiency which is the handspring of German progress in arts and indus tries
 This system of universal military training cannot be thoroughly intro- duced in any self-governed country, although Switzerland is sometimes quoted as evidence to the contrary. But whether introduced or not, wheth-. CT military training be compulsory or voluntary, no boy should be forced or encouraged to devote any time to it before he is IF years of age.

NOT A SOUND ARGUMENT.
 (Snringfeld Union.l

Some advocates of commission gov ernment are pointing to the aldermanic scandal in Detroit as an argument in favor of the newer form of municipal administration, their contention being that the corruption which has disgrac- ed Detroit would not have occurred if the municipality had intrusted its gov ernment to commission of high-clas ss men,, That is very true.

VOCATIONAL EFFORT

The state spends a great deal of money on the education of it's youth. In most cases the education is hit or miss and is given without much re- gard 4ter the duties which the young man or young woman will be called upon to perform, or the work which he will have to do.
 Germany. Is almost the only country which has developed on practical sb{H 7sxsas oofg selecting from the raw material of its schools those high : iy ehdewed for certain occupations, scientific, industrial, or otherwise.

First Indirect Case in State Fails To '- Save Victims Life.

New Haven, Aug. 23.-The first case of indirect blood transmission on record in this state failed to save Santa Guilliano, a patient at the New Haven hospital who, about three weeks ago consented to undergo the operation as the last resort to save his life., It was learned yesterday that Guilliano had died, after refus- ing to have his friend, Vallenta Be- juci, who volunteered to give up a pint of his blood, undergo a risk for a second time in order to prolong his life.
 Guilliano was suffering from a dis ease technically known as curahaem- orrhagica, in a very advanced stage. He was slowly sinkin~ when Bejuci, the only friend he had in this coun- try. volunteered, when told that transfusion was the last resort to save his life, to give up a pint of his blood. The operation prolonged Gull nano's life for three weeks.

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK LETTER.


 New York, Sept. 2S.-The cotton market was less active today and fluctuations were irregular within a comparatively low range. An early decline was partly recovered and the market closed steady but at net loss of ? to points.
 The opening was steady at unchang- ed prices to decline of 2 points and the market sold about to s points net lower during the early trading under liquidation by buyers of last week, spot houses selling and little local bear pressure. Disappointing cables, talk of increased southern of. ferings and the failure of early weath- CT adyices to indicate any damaging temperatures in the belt over Sunday probably accounted for this setback. Due to the presence of low brom- eter in the gulf just off ensacola. which had caused rains in the eastern belt and promised to result in further pre-. cipitation, caused some anxiety and on the decline to 11.o- for January, the market met considerable support. Pri- vate wires from the eastern belt com plaining of excessive rainfall and dam age to open cotton were accom- panied by buying orders in many instances and in addition to talk of gulf storm damage, the presence of high barom- eter in the Pacific northwest led ot private predictions Of another frost scare before the end of the week. The market became steadier during the middle of the day and rallied few points from the lowest.
 Trading was very quiet. however and. while the demand seemed to in crease on dips, there was considerable cotton for sale on the rallies, causin, fluctuations within a range of to points.
