number of years. He has excellent record in that
unreasonable to suppose that he telling anything

from a sense of duty to the state
Nor is there anything inherently improbable in the
facts which he relates Everybody knows, who knows
anything about public business that bribery
this state that it begins with the corruption of voters at
the polls that continues with the corruption of delegates
bers of legislatures to vote against their conscences
and their duty to the public that bribery has been usual
method of persuasion in the General Assemblies that have
made laws this state in the past and in the Legislatures
that have made laws other states Every
of this rottenness lingering in the constitution of govern
1nent is exposed.
In San Francisco, Pittsburg, In Detroit in other
Cities and in captos of states the of corruption
is from time to time laid bare.
It is of course, quite unnecessary to mention New
York to refer to less transactions

Connecticut has had much corruption any other

her corruption which the main distinction between

The Hurley incident points the need of investigation
into the whole method of corruption this state

Greenwich Gets interstate Commerce
Commission Hearing.


The Greenwich Board of Trade an
nounced yesterday that the complaints
against the high communication fares
from Connecticut points on the New
Haven road would be heard by the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
the Wa1dorf-Astoria in New York, on
February 49, Elated by its recent
success in securing a favorable de-
cision from the New York Public Ser

is of the opinion that If rates from
points just beyond the State lines are
not voluntarily reduced by the rail-
road the New York decision will be
followed by the Interstate Commerce
