GOVERNOR WILsoN-DEMoCRAT

Governor Wilson speaks in uncertain tones rea- tive to the of the money with which the Demo- cratic national campaign is being financed. He has financial friends whom he desires to conceal He believes that the people have right to know where the money coming from how much money there is and what it is be- ing used for.
 He proposes, law no law, to make disclosure be- fore election of the from which the Democratic campaign fund is derived.
 Governor Wilson, might be expected, favors the drastic investigation proposed by the Senate into party funds Such investigation would be of unusual inter est It would have value to the country that mere inquiry into campaign funds of the past could have.
 We are interested in the past only from it's bearing on the present. To know what is going now, where the sinews of derived from, what persons giving and for what purpose the imperative necessity
 Governor Wilson is progressive who does not finch under fire His attitude toward campaign funds is the same his attitude toward direct primaries, the initiative and referendum and workmens compensation which he caused to be written into the statute books New Jersey.
 He is Democrat of the true Jeffersonian brand. He believes that all power proceeds from the people and that all government should be conducted in the interest of the people-not as theory, but fact.

A PLEA THAT WON THE JURY
How an Eloquent Kentucky Lawyer
 Freed 8 Guilty Man.

John J. Crittenden, the eloquent Kentucky lawyer of a past generation, was once defending a murderer. Ev- eryone knew the man was guilty, but the eloquence of Crittenden saved him.
 "GentIemen,' said Crittenden, at the end of his great plea, "to err is human, to forgive divine. When God conceived the thought of man s creation, he called to him three min~ istering virtues, who wait constantly upon the throne-Justice, Truth and Mercy-and thus addressed them:
 Shall we make this man?'
 70 God make him not said Jus tice sternly, for he will surely tram pie upon thy laws
 And Truth, what sayest thou?'
 70 God make him not, for none but God is perfect, and he will surely sin against thee.'
 ".And Mercy, what sayest thou o'
 Then Mercy, dropping upon her knees, and looking up through her tears, exclaimed:
 70 God, make him; I will watch over him with my care through all the dark paths he may have to tread.
 Then, brothers God made man and said to him: o, man, thou are the child of Mercy; go and deal merciful- ly with all thy brothers. '"-Kansas City Times.

REVIEWS
 FROM Our Exchanges
GOING AWAY TO SCHOOL.
(Meriden Journal. )

It is perfectly surprising, in looking through the magazines and newspa- pers, to see the number of private schools and acadamies, below college grade. that are advertising for stu dents.
 There is large increase in the number of families that do not seem to be satisfied with the education giv- en by home schools. It places a heavy burden on the family anxious to give it's young people a good start in life, if not only the cost of a college edu- cation, and possibly of a special post graduate school must be paid, but also a bill for two to four years schooling at some college preparatory institution.
 The young people whose fortunate position permits them to attend some of the fine fitting schools gain a great start for lifes race. Very likely they get better attention than the crowded public school can give. Their rough excrescences of manner are rubbed off.
 The remark was recently made by a professor in leading eastern col boys stand best when they enter his college. but the public High school boys come out ahead when they graduate.
 His idea was that the private school boys had so much done for them that they lost initiative and de- termination. Wherefore let the boy who must get his fit in the High school of his own town or county not left more to himself than the care fully watched private school boy, but he may thereby learn to struggle all the better.

TELL THE TRUTH.
(Hartford Times.)

MT. Hearst, whose magazine seems to hold popular interest despite the fact that the Standard Oil letters which it is publishing are dated as far back in the dim, dead past as 1904, has himself interviewed in Lon don to say that MT. Archbold is tell ing only part of the truth and that MT. Penrose isn't telling much of any truth at all.
 He states in friendly fashion that he has plenty of letters in reserve and that he proposes to publish them. thereby stimulating attention in at least two political parties, not to men, tion the circulation of Hearst's mag azine.
 Incidentally MT. Hearst suggests that Colonel Roosevelt might as we'll speak up right now because he (Mr. Hearst) has the goods on him and proposes to put said goods on display And finally MT. Hearst exhorts MT. Penrose, MT. ArchboId, Mr. Si1bley and Colonel Roosevelt to tell the truth, not so much because truth is beautiful thing, but because if they don't tell it they may rest assured that I will.'

DIRECT PRIMARIES

It is a commendable sign of the times that the rank and file of the Democracy are taking an active in- terest in direct primaries.
 This interest is shown by the activ- ity of ward delegations, whose mem- bers have pledged themselves to change the party rules so that the power to make nominations in muni- cipal elections will be in the hands of the voters themselves.
 The march of the direct primary movement in Bridgeport is typically expressed in the resolutions, signed by one of the Second district delegations, as follows:
 Resolved. That hereafter candidates of the Democratic party for town and city offices, including Mayor, City Clerk, Tax Collector, Judge of Pro- bate members of the Board of Edu- cation and City Sheriffs, shall be nominated by the direct vote of the people in said Democratic party; and be it further
 Resolved, That all Democratic nom- inees to the State Legislature be in- structed and pledged for the passage of a State direct primary law to nom- mate all State, City and Town off, cers.
 The position is commendable. It is in strict accordance with the Demo- cratic position, in State and Nation.
 Direct primaries are an article of Democratic faith. They were embod- jed in the platform adopted by the Democracy of Connecticut four years ago. They are embodied in the plat form adopted in Baltimore, in June.
 He who does not believe in direct primaries can scarcely claim to meas ure up to the full stature of 8 Dem ocrat.

BUYING THE PRESIDENCY.
fNew York World.

MT. Hartman boasted that the
 $26O,0OO that he raised for MT. Roose-
 velt's campaign fund turned" 5O.0O0
 votes in New York City alone, ''mak-
 ing a difference of 100000 votes In
 the general result.
 How many votes were turned" for
 MT. Roosevelt by the Standard Oil
 Companys $1O0,000, which MT.
 Rooseveut admits went into his cam
 paign fund?
 How many votes were turned" for
 MT. Roosevelt by the life-insurance
 companies s150,000. which was stolen from their policy holders? How many votes were turned for MT. Roosevelt by the money that the
 Steel Trust contributed.
 How many votes were turned for MT. Roosevelt by the money that the Beef Trust contributed?
 How many votes were turned for MT. Roosevelt by the money collect ed by "the great Morgan interests which have been so friendly to us?" How many votes were turned" for MT. Roosevelt by the Paper Trust con tributionS, by the national bank con- tributions?
 In 1904 The World charged that MT. Roosevelt's appointment of his Sec retary of Commerce, George B. Cor telyou, to be collector of campaign tribute was a form of blackmail lev jed upon corporations subject to in vestigation by MT. Cortelyou's depart ment. It was notice to the corpora tions to contribute and they did con- tribute Judge Parker charged that trust money was. used to control the election for MT. :, RooseVelt's benefit, and that fact has been clearly esta b. lished. So far as st lay in their power the trusts and corporations and privileged interests bought the Presi- dency for Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, and this is the issue that the th ird term candidate has never dared to face.
 MT. Roosevelt professes to be shock
 ed that anybody should charge him
 with previous knowledge of Standard Oil contributions, but he is not in the least degree shocked by the corrupt use of these Wall street millions to
 debauch the electorate. He took this
 money in 1904 as freely and as grate- fully as he now takes Perkins money
 and Harvester Trust money and Steel
 Trust money. Every tainted dollar is consecrated if it turns vote for
 ME.
 By November the American people
 will know much more about the bus
 mess of buying the Presidency and the business of buying government than they have ever known before. Thanks to the efforts of Senator La
 Toilette the Senate has been forced to adopt a resolution of inquiry that has teeth in it. The Roosevelts and the Archbolds and the Perkinses and the Penroses and all the rest of them
 can now be compelled under oath to tell everything they know about the System that buys and sells govern
 ment for the glory or profit of indi- viduals.

DEMOCRATIC UNITY

The Democratic party is engaged in The primary is for that purpose. At the primary Democratic policies are discussed and settled by the ballots of Democratic voters. After the pri- maries Democrats will unite to pro- cure Democratic victory and the cleo ton of a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress which is inevit- able in November.
 C- It is necessary for the good of the party and victory in Connecticut that there should be harmony, especially among those who hold the party power, sit in it's councils and conduct the administration of its affairs.
 It is especially necessary that there should be unity of thought and pur- >ase between those actively in charge of party management. There mus not be a management of divided fac. tiens. each striving to undo the work of the other, but an administration by those who desire Democratic prin. ciples to prevail and Democratic can. didates to be elected.
 Primary fights are healthy and nee. essary signs that the party is active and progressive. But the primary ii .1he. place to. settle differences.

 Much of value to the people can be gained by increasing the Democratic representation in the General Assem- bly,.
 A direct primary law should follow such result. Workmen's compensa- tion should be established upon a sound and honest basis. An employ ers' liability act would be sure to come.
 A Democratic victory, and the elec- tion of progressive Democrats to of flee, is needed.

FIRST THINGS

The first American-built locomotive was given trial trip eighty-two years ago today. It was constructed by Peter Cooper and tried on the Balti- more & Ohio railway, but did not meet the expectations of the company's off, cials and was withdrawn. The first locomotive used in America sfor pas- senger travel was the 'tStourbridge Lion,'' built in England, and put into use in August of 1929 on a small road owned by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, near Honesdale, Pa.
 The postal car service, by which railwa y~maH cleks were placed in cars to assort matter while in transit, was first tried forty eight years ago today on the Chicago & Northwestern rail- way. The trial was success and was soon widely adopted. The sys- tenn is now in general use throughout America and Europe.

A BULL MOOSE CONVERT.
 (New York Sunl

The Hon. George Fred Williams, the Dedham Demosthenes, revolves on fiery wheels again. He who only last fall was writing the Massachusetts Democratic platform and mailing t in the thunder while the tempest muttered low; who scared above the smoking ruins of feudal aristocrt- cy'' and wept (our first remembrance of George Fred as a weeper was when Crisp was elected Speaker, and the House had to be ba1ed out) over "aIl the boundless treasure drawn from the toiling millions held under the lash of necessity; he who bathed his joyful head in "a. wave of democ< racy," is now riding out of 1t on the tough old neck of the Bull Moose.
 Dear old George Fred! We recall
