With a distressing shock the
news was spread over the town yes
terday morning that William s.
Boynton had died during the night
ut his home 131 Main street. He
had met with his business associates
the day before and walked home
Monday evening with neighbors
and no suggestion that he was en-
joying anything but good health.
He spent the evening with his
family, discussed and planned ar
rangements for the entertainment
of club of which he was a
member on next Monday evening.
After IL O'Clock he complained of
being unable to breathe and seeing
his distress Mrs. Boynton and her
mother, Mrs. Bancroft summoned
DR.. G. A. Cramton. The doctor re-
sponded as quickly as possible. Be
fore he came Mr.. Boynton realized
that the end had come and bade his
wife farewell and died just after
the doctor reached his room. DIR.
Cramton gave the cause Of death as
apoplexy.
The funeral will be held from
the home Thursday afternoon at two
o'clock. The remains will be taken
to Mt. Auburn cemetery, near Bos-
ton, for burial in the Bancroft
tomb.
William Seward Boynton was
born in St. Johnsbury, April 2,
1856, the son of David and Harriet

Gated in the public schools and at
tended the Academy graduating in

ty a little later and during his third
year there he was called home by
the death OF his father, who was
treasurer of the Passumpsic Savings
bank, then located in the Union
block where Rocheleau's barber
shop is now located. The trustees
OF the bank elected the young man
who was only % years old as treas
urer to succeed his father, a posi-
ton he had held until his death. He
was a member of the Northern

president of the organization for a
year.
He served for several years as
treasurer of the village, and the
school district, and was treasurer of
the county at the time of his death.
He was an honorary member of the
Vermont National Guard and first

new masonic temple and was busy
arranging for the collection Of the
subscriptions the day before his
death. He was also a vestryman of

In 1881 Mr.. Boynton married Ida
p. Bancroft OF Chelsea, Mass, who
survives him. To them five children
were born. One died in infancy,
Helen Of Boston, William H., of
Williams college. Alice who died in
childhood, and Katherine, who lives
at home. He is also survived BY

community.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Argues for Grant of Its Full
 Acquisition

W. T. Hincks.- A. H. Mckenzie and Archibald McNeil. Jr., representing the board of Apportionment, and H. $. Challenger, J. J. Cullinan, N. W: Bishop. E. H. Ravens, A. W. Bell and w R. Webster, representing the board Of Education met at. the board of Educat ton rooms in the City Hall. yesterday. to discuss the requisition of the board.
 The members of the board of Educa- tion adduced arguments to controvert those of City Auditor Keating, whose annual message to the board of Ap- portionment recommends substantial l cuts in the requisition of the board of Education. They claimed that while there are vacant rooms in some of the schools it Is impracticable 20 attempt to re-adJust the division of the city as to provide for the youngsters who are 'overcrowding other schools.
 Supt. Deane presented a number of arguments showing that the Bridge port schools are conducted with less expense than the schools of all other cities of the state and that the teach CTS handle more children than in any other Connecticut city.

ment.
 All over tile United States farmers have made common cause with work CTS in industrial pursuits to produce equality under the law for common men. The farmers of Connecticut will do the same thing for the same reasons. They love righteousness as other men do. They want their share of the benefits of government as other men do and they are not get ting their share, because the system operates in favor of the few-not themselves-and against the many
 What the farmer needs is that his own vote shall count one vote for him. This it cannot do when it is cast to peEpetuate political conditions that make against collective justice. collective rights and collective pros perity.
 We stand up for the small town man. He is just as honest, just as patriotic, just as disinterested and just as anxious to have his rights under the law as any other man.

represent the bosses first and the Deo- pie last. The result is seen in the great movement to get rid of nom mating conventions and bosses, which has produced direct primaries and di- rect legislation in many states, with g demand for both in every state.
 It ~is--the duty of a Governor to serve the people. If he finds a boss who is injuring the people it is his duty to destroy the power of that boss if he can. If he refrains from his duty because the boss helped him to a nomination, he is little better than a man who takes a direct bribe.
 It is evident that in rejecting the support of Harper's Weekly Cover nor Wilson has raised up powerful enemies among the class who take Harper's Weekly as a political oracle. His action amounts to a repudiation of Wall streeet in advance. The country will love Governor Wilson for the enemies he has made. It will rejoice because he knows that his du- ty is to the people and not to the bosses.

THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY.

In Massachusetts there are certain mills engaged in manufacturing cot ton and wool into fabrics. By the passage of years these industries have become highly specialized. Com plex machinery has been developed. and the need for high skill in the workers correspondingly diminished These industries are famous for the large dividends paid to their stock holders and the large surpluses they have created. They are infamous for the small wages paid to their help. They are also remarkable because of the large amount of time during which the mills are closed. or partly closed. The mills in the neighbor- hood of Lawrence have been especial ly unfortunate in being closed weeks at time.
 Recently the state reduced the hours of labor in those mills from 56 to t54 hours a week. It would appear, off hand, that this reduction would be useful under the circum- stances, since it would have the eff feet of equalizing employment by eff fecting q distribution of production over the year and stopping long pe- riods of idleness. That is, suppose an industry able to work but six months in the year, and that 1t should run six months on a stretch

POPULATION OF BRIDGEPORT NOT LIKELY
 TO EXCEED 100000 WITHIN 75 YEARS

States, although formerly there was much. Only European countries in which the standard of living is ex- ceedingly low are sending great num- bers to these shores.
 America has been prosperous be- cause of the abundance of her land and her raw materials. The land IS being rapidly occupied. The raw materials are largely monopoIized.
 Europe has passed us in wise pro- vision for the masses of mankind, as for instance England, with work mems compensation, old age pensions, insurance against sickness, accident, unemployment and the like. And the peoples of Europe are not left to the mercy of trusts and monopolies to any such extent as those of the United States. These things tend Lo check immigration. Also there is a possibility that immigration may be checked by law.
 Growth of population tends to be checked also by the immigration to Canada of great numbers. who find Tn the uRoccupied land of the Dominion opportunity such as the United States once afforded, but, no longer affords.
 MT. GoodseIl has the prophetic facts in his favor when he asserts that Bridgeport's population will not exceed 100000 75 years hence.

GOV. WILSON NoT GUILTY OF POLITICAL
 NGRATIIUDE, HIS DUTY IS TO PEOPLE

It becomes increasingly evident that two classes of persons are afraid that &he Democratic National Convention will nominate Woodrow Wilson. They are the group usually described, for convenience, as Wall Street. and the men and their friends, who expect to get the Republican nomination. The latest assault upon the governor of New Jersey appears in the form of ac- cusations of political ingratitude. of which the basis is Governor Wilson's repudiation of Boss Smith of New Jersey and his ,repudiation of Col. George Harvey and the support of Harper's Weekly.
 These acts are referred to as acts of political ingratitude-' The ap- peal is not without it's force. There are many who conceive that man chosen to office owes his first duty to those who gave him the nomination and his second duty to the people whose servant he Is. The first as- sumption is untenable. Politics has been operated for some years upon the theory that the office holder musr

Hon. ZaInnon Goodsen does not quite agree that the population of Bridgeport will reach half a million within 75 years. It may do so, but the growth would be entirely abnor- nal, and Mir. GoodseIl prefers to stick to the more usual and conserva- tive methods of estimating.
