against society, their ignorance
is not of so great import as tho
real ignorance Of the so-called

and literature will not cure evil.
The greatest example the world
has ever known of a government
directed by the highly educated
is afforded by Rome. For gener-
ations this government was ruled
by men schooled in the arts and
literature and in all kinds Of
knowledge save humanism. And
during these generations no adj
vance in civilization was made.

king. Greatness in that day con-
sisted of pomp and power rather
than in peace and fraternity and
in better living for the masses.
While the rulers strutted their
day in fine clothes, in enjoyment
of their renowned pleasure re-
sorts, in planning conquests, and
in educating themselves, the peas
antry rotted. There came a day
when the enemies of the empire
were at the gates of the city, and
there was no army to defend it.
Patriotism was dead. The COM

own country, and the grandeur
that was Rome became a men,
DRY. Education had failed.

the TRUST QUESTION NEXT

The president and congress
will soon be ready to take up the
trust question, the next question
that demands decisive action. The
president has not yet outlined a
detailed policy, but he has given!
us the principle which will guide
him, and that leaves us in no
doubt as to the course he will
pursue. In his speech of accep4l
lance he reiterated the position
taken in four democratic national
platforms, namely that private
monopoly is indefensible and in
tolerable. As he has an excel.
lent understanding Of the English
language-no one understands it
better-he knows what words,
mean and how to use them. Since
he regards private monopoly as
indefensible, we can assume thai
he will not attempt to defend it,
and as he believes a private mon
opoly intolerable, we can assume
that he will not tolerate it.
The democratic party is the
only party that ever dared to lay
the axe at the root Of the tree and
attack the principle of private
monopoly. Both the republican
part and the progressive part
party and the progressive party
have dealt timidly with the trust
question:, both of these parties
have had prominent representa-
tives of the trusts among their
leaders. The democratic party
is able to deal with the subject
from the standpoint Of the peo4
pie, and it will stand behind the
president in his effort to secure
legislation that will make a pri-'
vate monopoly impossible. a

SMALL COURT IS
 BALDWIN'S IDEA
 FOR WORLD BODY
COnnecticut's Governor Pre- sentS His Plan For SoIV-
 ina Difficulties.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The proposed international court of arbitral justice should consist of not more than 15 members and should represent the diff ferent nations classified in groups, in the Judgment of Gov. Simeon E. Bald win of Connecticut. This plan he pro- posed last night as the most promising solution of the difficulties in the way Of organizing the tribunal, in an address devoted to that subject before the American society for the Judicial set tlement of international disputes.
 In the event that the concurrence of all civilized nations to setting up the court could not be obtained, Gov. Bald wtn thought that the formation of 8 tribunal by a few Of the greater pow CTS, each with one represent tive. would still be feasible. The lesser powers would recognize such tribu- nal, he believed, and submit their causes to it for adjudication
 Among the powers most likely to ratify the proposition the speaker mentioned Great Britain, the United States, France, Germany, the Neither lands. Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and China
 Gov. Baldwin cited the use of the system at various recent international commercial congresses, but expressed doubt that universal concurrence to the establishment of an international court could be obtained. ''The court must be set on foot, if at aT1,'' he con- tinued "by the action of part of the powers, and maintained by the contrd- buttons of that part only.
 -If the Il powers have mentioned and no more became associated in the erection of the new international trlbu- nal, 1t would not be impossible to give to each a. representative upon its bench, but it is probable that the les ser powers would frankly recognize the propriety of giving the great powers a larger recognition
 Tn one or the other of these ways a working scheme could be arranged for the erection or a, court, either with ju- risdiction solely of controversies be- tween powers to associating, or with Jurisdiction over any cause that might be voluntarily brought before 1t by any outside power against power which, whether in or out of the asso- citation, might consent to such a sub mission
 "A tribunal thus constituted would create it's own future. If it's proceed inss proved impartial and it's judg- nent sound, it might ultimately en- brace all nations within it's power"

ShrineFs Will Hold
 Session Here Monday

A special ceren onial session of Pyramid temple, A. A. O. N. M s. will be held at Eagles hall next Mon day evening. A large class will be initiated, and following the rituaIistic features, there will be a lunch at which it is expected @ number of not ables will be guests of honor. The session will be of especial interest, for the officers will seek to lend impetus to the movement to secure 8 member ship of 2,OOO by 1915 to make certain the erection of a temple for the Shrine.
 Memorial tribute will be paid to Walter Willard Fleming, founder of the order of Shriners, and the first I'm perial potentate. whose death occur red on Sept. 9, last; also to Ethelbert F. Allen, past imperial potentate, and to E-1Stewart Sumner, the recorder of the temple for more than 31 years.
 The recorder of Pyramid temple was one of the most widely esteemed mem bers of the shrine, and in the bulIe- tin announcing the session is the fol- lowing tribute:
 Dot Sumner, as he was familiarity known, came of distinguished ances- try. His father, Colonel s. B. Sumner Gone of the early members of Pyramid Temp1e) was a distinguished soldier in the Civil war, a well known and successful lawyer and of considerable fame as a poet. His grandfather, In- crease Sumner, was a, prominent law yer in Berkshire County.
 Dot was also a lawyer and occupied the same office, corner of Main and Wall street for over 30 years and was for several years assistant clerk of the Superior Court of Fairfield County.
 He was big-hearted, sympathetic, generous and companionab1e man with keen sense of humor, and a host of friends who sincerely feel his loss. especially those who were associated with him in the fraterna1 orders. Ton rising moon that looks for us

Westport, Dec. 6-The Cross High way schoolhouse. has been closed for the past two days owing to the fact that the stovepipe fell while a fire was being made in the stove on Thursday morning. The school was ordered closed by George Bowman who is director of schools. large mum Der of children started for school yes terday morning and found upon their arrival that there would be no school It is not known if the pipe will be re- paired by Monday or not.
 A taxpayer of the town said yes- terday, 'I have lived in this town for number of years and have girl who attends the Cross Highway school and I do not like the idea of having the school closed on such oc- casions as this. As I understand 1t 8 link of the stovepipe fell on Thursday morning when a fire was being built in the stove. A small piece of wire, a hammer and a nail could have replac- ed the pipe in about 10 minutes In stead of that the school is closed all day and all day Friday. It is about time that the school board had a man to run the school the way they should be run. I do not know where the trouble is but I am going to make 1t my business and see if some thing can not be done about it. Some weeks ago the school was closed on account or a large numDer or CQ1A- dren having throat trouble. I do not believe in sending children to school when there is any such trouble as this in school, but I do think 1t is up to the director of schools to have the schools opened on days when school can be in session.
 James London, well known plumb er received a shock on Thursday af- ternoon which he will remember for some time London with another plumber, went to the home of the late J. H. Dingee in Greens Farms to shut off the water for the winter. When London took hold of the water main he received a shock which threw him some distance. It appears that an electric light wire happened to come in contact with the pipe with the result that the pipe was charged
