NEW YORK'S
 POLICE SCANDAL

Tnemurdef of Rosenthaf will serve an important purpose if it paves the way to the heart of police graft in New York. The pardon of all the prisoners thus far involved, even to the actual author of the plot to mur- der, would be socially justified if the result should be the laying bare of a conspiracy against the public which has~been. known to exist for many years, but never thoroughly exposed to view.
 It is intolerable that such a con- dition as New York displays should can city.
 That the police should become the instruments of crime and profit by the systematic bleeding of criminals is a cancer that demands radical sur sical treatment.
 l. is not likely that the police only are involved. If the vast graft of s2,4OO.e0O annually does not ali re- main with the police some of it goes into the pockets of powerful polit;- clans
 These politicians are the men who must be brought to justice.
 They are the men the people are after. Bring them to justice and there will be little difficulty in puri- flying the police of the great metro polls.
 The offense is confined probably 70 a few members of the force, mostly among the higher officers. The great majority of the patrolmen do their duty honestly and are as shocked 2s everybody else is over the disclosures brought about by the murder of the gambler, Rosenthal.

STEEL CARS AND
 RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS

The railway mail clerks have been trying for long time to get a law requiring steel cars only in the rail- way mail service. The government rents the mail cars of the railroads, paying a very large rental. The rail- roads can we'll afford to purchase the best type of car, which is the steel car. because that gives greater safety to the mail clerks in case of collision, or other accident enroute.
 The astonishing part of it IS thaS the high officers of the post office department have been fighting legis- lation which would compel the use of these safe steel cars.
 Some remarkable testimony was given by Joseph Stewart, chief of the railway mail service, before the Sen. ate Post Office Committee.
 He opposed the steel car bill, omit ting entirely to state that the mail car goes behind the tender, the most dangerous position occupied by any Car III q
 He laid stress upon the fact that no clerks had been killed in the present year, and did not give weight to the fact that 13 mail clerks had been. killed before the beginning of the year, which is a great many con- sidering that the total number of such clerks is not large.
 He testified that steel cars would be too cold in the north and too hot in the south utterly ignoring that they are put on all the best trains, and insulated so that they are as com fortable in heat and cold as the old wooden ears.
 He gave comfortable testimony that

PRESIDENT TAFT'S
 ACCEPTANCE

President Taft's letter of accept arce is characterized in it's super scription. It is addressed to 'Mr Root and the gentlemen of the noti- ication committee
 The MT. Root referred to is the United States Senator Root, who was chairman of the Chicago convention Bill Tweed's counsel, and the most dangerous reactionary in the United States.
 MT. Taft's views are those of a be- wildered, disappointed and economi- caIly ignorant man.
 He asserts that the great popular unrest which exists among. the people is due to undertaking and to dema- gogues, although similar conditions have produced a similar unrest all over the world. even in China and Turkey, where there are no muck raking magazines and where it has leu customary to slaughter dema-

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY.

One of the most important blanks in the Democratic platform adopted at Baltimore is that which demands return to the rue of the people, which is the western designation of three great statutes providing for ntia tlve referendum and direct primaries Says the plat form:
 We again remind the country that only by larger exercise of the power of the people they tec themselves from the misuse of delegated power and tn usurpation of governmental instrumentaty by special interests"
 Clear and straightforward is this denunciaton of the convention system which has removed government from the people and given it to the interests.
 And equally direct and certain the blanks favor ing direct presidential nominations popular elections of United States Senator's and stringent laws requiring publicity of election expense and limiting the sums that may be expended in elections.
 These things taken together, will restore government to the people and have done states where the ures have been written into the laws.
 The initiative gives to the people power to make their own extraordinarily important laws, and brings the amendment of their constitutions within reach.
 The referendum permits the people to veto at the bal lot box bad law which legislature has passed, Direct primaries take the nomination of candidates from the conventions where they made by few ind viduals, and place the power in the body of voters
 Popular election of United States Senators takes the choice of Senators from the legislature and reposes it in the citizenship.
 Direct presidential primaries bring the nominations for president president into the direct possession of the nation.
 Corrupt practices acts prevent rich from control ling elections by the sheer use of wealth.
 The who is sincerely interested in these great ad in the methods of government cannot do better than vote the Democratic ticket, to elect the abest modern exponent of by the peopleovernor Woodrow Wilson.

der the same head.
 Wages in police and fire depart ments may, under this plan, be com pared with each other, and with wages in every other department. The same is true of such items as light and heat, stable and garage expense, printing, stationery and office ex- pense.
 It will become comparatively sim pie to measure the expense of one department against another and to in- stitute economies based upon the comparison.
 Any system of accounting in Bridgeport will be embarrassed by the cumbersome tax system and the division of the city into two parts.
 Doubtless the time is not distant when the two tax districts will be consolidated, with corresponding ad- vantage to all concerned.

Connecticut's Congressmen.
 CEarfford Tirnes)


 There are strong reasons for be- Iieviug that Connecticut, this year may make some important changes in the political complexion of it's repre- sentatives in the great popular leg islative body. 1nasmuch as there may be expected considerable legislation dealing with the. tariff, finance and kindred matters in the lower Dranch of congress these prospective changes are important. We have maintained republican deleEation at Washington so long that Connecticut's adherence to. that faith has come to seem almost a perma- nency, but in view of the figures and the prospects if is not easy to believe that. a change will not be wrought iii N1oyember. Looking over the dis tricts how, many of them do you think are likely to elect Republican con- gressnrer this fall?

the old type car would stand up well under stress-the steel under frame car-although Bruce Hodge, postal clerk, was killed in just such car, on July IS, which did not stand up.
 MT. Stewart appeared to be not even quite clear in his mind that the fire hazard in steel car is less than in wooden car, and he displayed re- markable complacency over the pros pect of railway mail clerks being roasted to death in a railroad wreck, should they survive the shock of inn pact.
 The incident is typical. It shows how government is organized for the benefit of railroads and other privi- lege seeking corporations. Why pro- tect the lives of railway mail clerks when it is cheaper to kill them? This is Mr- Stewards real attitude, though he appears not to know it.
