WHO ARE THE LANDLORDS?

The wheels of justice move swiftly in the cases of the white slavers whose arrests followed. the slashing of Dora Herman. Ten of the alleged cadets have been held in heavy bonds in the city court. Prosecutor Pull man expects to convict six of them. Lagno. who slashed the Herman wo- man, says that he is in fear of his life by reason of the evidence he has given the state. The charge against him has been reduced to one of sim pie assault.
 In the Superior court, criminal side. one, Di Bello. has been given an in determinate sentence, three to six years, for driving his wife into the market place.
 Thus far has the attempt to rem edy nauseating and deep seated evil progressed.
 But if the matter stops with the apprehension of a few of the worst offenders, if the system is allowed to flourish as of yore, to be a source of profit to unmentionabIe men, a few

IS THE SECOND REPORT ILLEGAL?

of the mayor, the board re-opened its report, or, more accurately, discarded it and prepared another report in which further large reductions were given to certain petitioners of wealth and influence.
 It does not appear that new evil dence was received, or that any facts in the nature of evidence guided the board in its later conclusions. Those conclusions appear to have been reached arbitrarily. Perhaps there was no better foundation for them than the mere wish of some person in au- thority.
 The doubts that are raised as to the legality of the second report are ser ious indeed. If any laws ought to be executed without fear or favor they are the tax laws. When a reduction is given to any tax petitioner, except upon plain proof that his property has been Overvalued to the extent of the reduction, every taxpayer is injured and the whole public is wronged.
 Mayor Wilson ought to explain what took place in his conference with the Board of Relief, what ad- vice if any he gave to the members of the board, and why he gave it?

lawyers, a few politicians and few landlords, nothing worth while will have been accomplished except the punishment of some inconsequential individuals and shame to the citizen ship.
 The condition demands nothing short of absolute extirpation of the whole cancerous growth.
 The knife of the surgeon should be heroically applied to the deep seat ed conspiracy by which the city is outraged.
 If to the operating table of the law are brought the owners of the places that are the white slave barracks of Bridgeport, little will remain to do. As this newspaper has heretofore said it even would be sufficient to notify the offending landlords that a fur ther use of their property to the so- ciaI injury will be followed by war rant and arrest.
 There are some evils that cannot ex- ist without the cooperation of some very respectable persons. The white slave traffic is such an evil.

Oklahoma Democrats are first in the field with a choice of presidential candidates. The delegation is divid- ed between Champ Clark, speaker Of the House of Representative, and Woodrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey, ten to each.
 It will be noted that Oklahoma has a larger population than Connecticut and that it has therefore larger representation in the national con- vention.
 The notable fact about Ok1ahoma's s action is that it stands for a nominee of progress. Oklahoma will have nothing to do with reactionaries.
 Oklahoma's action will be noted with interest There are six states whose course will be regarded with greater interest.
 These states are California, Wiscon- sin, North Dakota and New Jersey. They have the presidential primary, which means that the voter of each party will register his choice for the particular man whom he would like to see the nominee of his party for president The delegation to the na- tional convention will have the duty of voting for the man that got the most votes.

SKATING ACROSS LONG
 ISLAND SOUND
(The N. Y. Sum-

(The N Y. Sun.)
 To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: The recent frozen condition of the Con necticut harbors brings to mind a lit tle incident that occurred many years ago. Long Island Sound was frozen over, from the Connecticut to the Long Island shore, in the winter of 1857. Many of the young people of Milford enjoyed skating on the ice near the shore, and trips were fre- Guently made to the lighthouses on the islands off shore. Some of the young men. with d spirit of bravado, decided to skate across the Sound. Their preparations were quietly made, for they well knew that it would not be possible to obtain the consent of their parents, and at a time and place appointed by their leader twenty-five young fellows gathered.
 Each was equipped with a piece of stout rope. about thirty feet in length. and a pair of skates. The trip to Long Island was safely made. On the return trip the boys landed on one of the small islands off Port Chester, N. Y. They reached their homes in safety. One of the twenty-five boys who made the trip is still living. the Hon. Seaman Mead of Greenwich.

The remarkable action of the Board of Relief, following it's conference with Mayor Wilson, raises the ques- lion of the legality of the report which it finally submitted.
 The Board of Relief is body with functions semi-judicial in character.
 The power to make valuations of property for the purpose of raising taxes is fixed in the Board of Asses sors.
 To the Board of Relief is given the duty of reviewing any assess ment, to see if it ought to be reduc- ed, or increased.
 The conclusions of the board are by 10 means to be reached arbitrarily at its mere whim, or as a matter of favoritism to some petitioner, or to please some public officer, or politi- elan. If the board decides to re- duce property it must make the re- auction upon evidence that it ought to be made.
 A number of petitions were present. ed to the board. The petitioners were heard. The board ordered certain reductions, reduced it's order to writ Ing and signed it

Hon. Homer Cummings Makes Plea For Fostering the Right Sort of College Spirit

The annual banquet of the Yale Alumni Association of Fairfield Coun- ty, held at the University Club, last evening, brought a number of eloquent speakers together, and attracted an at tendance marked by enthusiasm and interest.
 Notable among the speakers was Hon. Homer S. Cummings, Democratic National Committeeman and former Mayor of Stamford. His subject was ''Yale and Citizenship" Judge How ard J. Curtis of the Superior court bench, was the toastmaster. Judge John H. Perry spoke on the work of the association. Prof. Frederick H. Sykes spoke on "Dickens." Dr. E. T. Bradstreet of Meriden, responded with what he called An Unfinished Speech, a vehicle exploiting wit and humor. Prof. c. M. BakevilIe, for merly of the University of California, now of Yale, spoke of Yale Spirit
 Attorney Cummings made an elo- quent plea for the right sort of col lege spirit. He said it was a mis- taken spirit that sends a young Sprig fresh from college out to reform man. kind, with a fee. ing that the embry- onic reformer, by reason of his college associations, is superior to all oth- CTS.
 The thing about my college days that regret most,'' said he, 'is that they did not teach me the essen .ie l value of the average man, and the glory and the wonder of simple things and simple fO ks"

oKLAHoMA's CHOICE; PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES

the theory that voters who know enough to elect a president know enough to nominate candidates for the presidency.
 Several other states, by party action are likely to adopt the presidential primary, without warrant of a special statute.
 There is nothing in this to disturb the most nervous person. It is many years since the president of the Unit ed States has been chosen as the fath- CTS intended, or as the constitution declares.
 The idea of the fathers was that the states would choose presidential cleo tors and that they would actually se- feet the president and vice president; and so they did at first. But, a lit tie later the voters found the method not democratic enough, so they call ed conventions and nominated candi- dates for the presidency, and so re- duced the college of electors to the status of a cash register, or adding machine.
 Those candidates will go into the national convention with the highest credentials who have behind them a direct vote of the rank and file of their parties in their respective states.

TIE LESSON OF TIE STEPHENSON CASE

The people of Connecticut ought 60 be and probably are keenly interested In the proceedings to unseat United States Senator Isaac Stephenson, who expended $1O7,OOO in the primary elections in Wisconsin, or $1.s9 for each vote he received.
 The expenditure of this great sum has been investigated by the legisla- ture of Wisconsin, and by the body of which he is a member.
 A majority of the committee of the senate has reported a scathing de- Senator Stephenson, but not for his unseating. A minority of the com rnittee has reported a resolution de- claring him guilty of corrupt prac tices and not properly elected to his seat
 The evidence presented by the min ority is overwhelming in the convic- ton it brings.
 The following may be taken as ad- rnitted facts in this case as presented by the Senate minority:
 Three men were selected as man agers by Senator Stephenson; money was placed in their hands from time to time as called for to the amount of over $1O7,0OO; they were not asked how they expended it. nor for what purpose; no accounting was request ed; they paid it out in various sums to different individuals in different Iar sums were paid to different individ- uals holding official positions, and co individuals recognized to be leaders, and to others of prominence in diff ferent organizations; no directions were given to these men how the money should be expended; no re- ports were required and no knowledge obtained as to how they spent the money or for what purpose; men were hired for the ostensibIe purpose of going over the country talking Stephenson and creating Stephenson sentiment; men, whose occupations led them into different sections of the country. were paid large sums Of money for talking for Stephenson on their travels; men were paid three, five, and ten dollars per day to be at the polls on election day, or to haul voters to the polls; large sums were paid leaders in different wards and precincts to look after their wards and precincts; hundreds of dollars were spent for treating to cigars, li- quors, meals, etc., as much as $135 in one day by one man; money was paid to candidates for the gis'ature, at least three of whom were nominated and elected; detailed expenditures were not kept; memoranda were de- stroyed; records and papers concern ing the campaign were shifted from
