GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
 OF NEW HAVEN SYSTEM

The one Socialist congressman, MT. Berger, has finally risen to the op- portunity which the current agitation over the New England railroad sftua- ton has given to him. We have had pressed upon us from far more con eervative quarters than the camp of socialism the plan for the purchase of the Boston and Maine railroad system by the State of Massachusetts in or der to break up the present monopoly of the New Haven system. But much sounder and far more logical is Mir. F3erger's proposal, as embodied in his congressional resolution, that the whole New Haven system, including the Boston and Maine, should be taken over by the United States government If we were to have public ownership Of railroads in this section, we should have a public ownership that really cut ice. It is a New England railroad problem, not 8 Massachusetts prob lem, that we confront when we talk about the present monopoly, and Mas sachusetts has too little Jurisdiction and is too small a political and eco homie entity to undertake the owner ship and control of a railroad system traversing at least three states such as the Boston and Maine. The. only state ownership worth mentioning Is United States ownership such as Mr. Berger has now proposed.

BEGAN AS A CUB REPORTER.

(JuIius Chambers in the Brooklyn
 Eag1e.)
 Winston Spencer Churchill, now first lord of the British admiralty, and one of the most prominent figures in Eu- rope, was a reporter on the New York Journal shortly after it's purchase by the present owner. That was about the fall or winter of 1895. He was very popular with his associates, not because he was a cousin of the then duke of Marlborough, but for the req son that he was son of Leonard Jer- ome's daughter, wife and widow of Lord Randolph Churchill The young man was quite American in his feel ings at that time; but he expressed himself as destined for a political ca reer in England, the home of his dis tinguished father.
 Just as, for years, Lord Randolph was referred to as an inevitable pre- mier, I notice that Winston Spencer Churchill is so taken. Very well do I remember a time when Sir Charles Dilke was mentioned in the same man ner; but since that day new men have come to the top and crowded out as pirants that appeared to be predestin- ed to get to the top.
 Every American would be glad to see Churchill in the seat of power; first, because they believe he would make good and, second, because he is half a fellow col1ntryrnau.

THE REPUBLICAN FUTURE.
Oew York World )


 There is no fight left in the regular organization. The way is now open to the progressive leaders to take pos session of the wreck. This Is what will happen. They have shown what they can do in the way of smashing 8 party that defies their dictatton, and the spells belong to them.
 With the Progressive leaders in con trol of the Republican machinery, it will not be difficult to bring about a truce in the party. The battle at Chicago last June was not fought for an issue or a principle, but for man. If the Republican ''reactionaries" had nominated MT Roosevelt for president they would have been permitted to frame their own platform, and when ever they are willing to accept his overlordship their standing will be as exalted as that of Finn or stubbs. That is the beginning and the end of it.
 In 1916 we shall see both factions of the Republican party working together again, providing there Is a chance of Republican victory at the polls. A party that has quarre1ed about man and not about 9 principle can always compose its differences, and that Is the situation in the Republican party. But this much is sure-the leaders of the reunited party will not be the men who managed the Republican cam paign of 1912. The old order has pass ed away,

REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP.


 The Republican party without a leader can count for nothing. Who shall lead it?
 Col Roosevelt declares. with vttu- peratiye rhetoric and very spicy ex- pression, that he wants none of it. He will fight with the spear that knows no brother; he wants a party of his own.
 The Republican party cannot be the Roosevelt party. But in three months Taft the present official head of that organization. steps out. Who Is to succeed hirn2
 If MT Taft were willing to take the place in the Republican party which MT. Bryan undertook to claim in the Democratic party, the answer to this question would be easy. He would get it, all opposition discounted. He stands for all that Republicaniam stands for, in success or in defeat.
 But Taft cannot rehabilftate the party. He must be accepted, if at all, as last chance, a successor to the leadership of a defeat in which he was an element.
 As it looks just now the Republican party must drift without leadership while Roosevelt hangs upon the Hanks of it's organization with deadly pur- pose.

REVIEWS
 FROM Our Exchanges
THE POLICE COURT JUDGE.
(BristOl Press.

Here and there about the country a police court judge occasionally comes before the public because of a novel. original or extra judicial de- cision. Hes seeking notoriety," Is the usual comment. Probably a more just estimate would credit him with Q. de- sire to more effectually reach an of- fender than is possible under strictly legal punishm ents. Every judge of experience must Ereenly realize how futile it is to impose fines or jail sen tences for drunkenness in many ca ses. The deterrent of reforma tory eff feet is often sadly lacking. Doubt less this fact actuated the Chicago judge who ordered that drurlka into a mirror. He at least hoped the sight of 8 bloa ted, repel1ent face would bring home forcefully to the erring one an appreciation of the sorry fg- ure he cut in the estimation Of others.
 A New York judge, evidently weary Of orthodox and unsa tisfactory meth bands, permitting a woman who had complained that her husband was cruel and inteTnpeFate to pass sentence upon the offender. Her judgment was good She placed him on probation for one year and ordered him to pay six dollars a week for support of their four children.
 Such instances as these sharply call attention to the unsatisfactory code now prevailing. With all our pro- gress we have not yet learned how best to deal with minor offenders. There is plenty of room for improve ment.
 Here in Connecticut the probation system has materially widened the field of discretion for the police court judge and it has proven time and again of substantial heIpfulness to mi nor offenders. It is a system that should meet the approval of all thoughtful people.
 The position Of a police court judge, is as difficult as 1t Is necessary to so- ciety. The men who occupy the bench are as considerate the law permits. They are actuated by hu-. n1ane motives. They are doing their part in a manly way. Further pre- gress must be made through new de- partures such as the proposed State farm for drunks, inebrfates and

WAY OF A WOMAN's JURY.

No longer Is there doubt as to wo- mans ability to fulfil all the duties the right of suffrage entails.

The case before the court was charge against a wo- man for threatening to shoot man It began in the morning and about l o'clock the foreman addressed the judge and told him. it was time to cook dinner He informed her that a jury could not leave the Jurisdiction Of the court while considering a case.

HOW FOLKS ARE FLEECED.
From the Utica Press.)


 A case now on trial in New York city is attracting a good deal of attention, and it is liable to attract too much. The evidence shows how various in- vestors have lost money through buy ing stock in wildcat companies, and some very sorry stories have been put into the proof. Tn this instance, as usual the losers have been those least able to lose. When prosperous man of business takes flyer, as they call it in the market, and is confronted with a loss, he pockets it good-nat- uredly, because he can afford it, but when people put the earnings of a lifetime into these unstable invest ments the following hardship Is se- were. Widows suspected of having been left a little money by their hus- bands, and either men or women who have worked hard and saved 8 few hundred or a few thousands seem to be the principal prey of these agents. It is wise and well enough to say that the people should not patronize those who sell poor securities but the ones who are thus approached are unable to distinguish which is good and which is bad These salesdnen are always glib takers, smooth and plausfble.and those to whom they talk have no way of knowing a false from a true state ment Big sums of money are lost this way annually by those who can iu-afford it, and wherever 1t is pos sible to bring a rogue of this kind to justice it ought to be done.

It was only on this condition that the ance It was a love match, and the fair Countess was glad to consent to the terms imposed Since then the motive of mother love has led her to claim what she once renounced.
