The Bridgeport bonding bill is not simply attack upon
the citizens Of Bridgeport It is than denial of the right
Of the femen of Bridgeport to vote upon whether they will
have debt and, if they will how much.
This armaively requires the General Assembly
to turn and ignore two established policies the state
both recent and both representing the maured and active udg
ment of the Commonwealth.
Chapter $40, giving Home Rule to Cities provides album

So that the Bridgeport group operating entirely against

Why should the state appeal its laws change its policies

A DAYS PROHIBITION NEWS

that the u S. Senate makes crime transport liquor into

ably reported the House, that the American Wine Grow
Association met at the Waldorf Astoria sampled 80 Amer
can vines and called prohibition "humbuggery."
All of which proves that the members Of the American
Wine Association little too stupid for the bust
ness before them
Undoubtedly prohibition in the of time is inevitable
is coming lightning WINGS ahead of its time, because the
men who control the business Of selling liquor too selfish
o INDECENT too cowardy look out for their interests
The prohibition rests upon two elements the be-
lief that alcohol beverage harmful and the belief that
the liquor business whole is awless and dangerous in
fuence in government.
If the American Wine Growers intelligent they
be- they would not attempt to dispose of the prohibition
by calling it humbuggery; they would examine the
business how it be improved and made
tolerable to the people.
In the General Assembly there number of bills to pro-
ib restrict further the liquor business There also
bills liberal Sunday. When these bills argued
the facts regarding the growth of Sunday clubs in Connecticut
will be presented
These clubs virtually speak easies, which could not

'''MARSE HENRY"
ON JOURNALISM

Last distinguished survivor of the
journalistic age of chivalry, "Marse
Henry Watterson, the World-re-
nowned editor of the Louisville Cou-
rier-Journa1, is also among the most
picturesque of those knights Of the
quill who moulded the opinions Of
our fathers and grandfathers. Even
the most ardent defender Of the old
school of personal journalism must
admit that the papers of today are
more democratic and efficient, less
prone to exaggeration and distortion
of facts, less bigoted in their parti-
sanship, and vastly more enterprising
than were the great majority of the
journals Of half a century ago, when
Col. Watterson was at the beginning
of his remarkable career. In attain
ing these new and higher standards
the newspapers have been forced to
adopt a division of labor and respon-
sibility, and to sacrifice to a greater
or lesser degree that dominance of a
single personality, which was the
characteristic of the old journalism
In keeping alive the best traditions
and the highest ideals of the old
school of newspaper making, while
accepting the best features of het
new, Col. Watterson has performed a
great service for American newspaper
makers and readers.
Born in Washington seventy-seven
years ago today, Feb. 16, 1910, Hen
ry Watterson began his career as a
reporter and editorial writer on the
staff of the Washington States when
ne was only eighteen. He won his
military title as a soldier of the Con-
federacy, contributing to Chatta-
nooga paper during that struggle Of
the states, and after the war, Joining
the staff of a Nashville paper Next
year will mark the semi-centenary Of
his arrival in Louisville to take charge
OF the Journal, which was soon con-
solldated with the Courier and the
Democrat
Col. Watterson's journalistic ideals
nave been set forth in many terse
sentences and paragraphs we'll worth
repeating: t,
Newspapers, with the law, should
assume the accused innocent until
proved guilty; should be the friend,
not the enemy, of the general public;
the defender. not the invader, of pri-
vate life and the assailant of personal
character.
Il make no plea for that sort of in
sents the caprices of a single editor
and prides itself on its immunity from
obligations of every .,ort.
1T can be said of the American
press that it has a jovial, happy fac
| ulty of standing by the weak and re-
sisting the strong, of satirizing the
wicked, exposing the base, detecting
| the false, and cheering the unfortu-
nate.
THE paper that cannot live except
| on favor and charity ought to die
| We can as little expect that each
newspaper worker shall be a gentle
man as that each lawyer and each
doctor shall be gentleman but
manly conduct and aspiration should
fix the rule, the brutal and vulgar
the exception, the journalistic brand
no less accepted and honorable than
| that of physic, divinity and jurispru-
! dence:
Il will accept no indulgences not
given my neighbours; I will not be
| slapped on the back as sort of

PROF. HAECKEL

The greatest name in German sci
ence is that of Prof. Ernst Haeckel.
the great naturalist and philosopher
of jena. Born in Potsdam eighty
three years ago today, Feb. 16, 1894,
he became a pupil Of Virchow, Kill
hker, and Johann Muller. His first
great scientific work, "Monogra phie
DER Radiolarien," was published in
1852, and in the more than half a
century following he wrote nearly
half hundred important scientific
works, with a total of about $4,000
pages. Although he early gained a
wide reputation in the scientific
world as the greatest of the German
evolutionists. he was practically I'M
known to laymen until 1893, when
he published his riddle of the Uni
verse" This controversial work, in
which he attacked the foundations of
religious faith, created a tremendous
sensation. It has been translated in
to twenty languages, and it is esti-
mated that it has been read by more
than a; million people. In subsequent
works Prof. HaeckeI reiterated his
denials of God, Immortality, and all
forms Of supernaturalism, and at
tempted to set up new scientific re-
ligion which he called Monism, which
has atheism as it's cornerstone. In
his latest work, ETERNITY" the octo-
genarian philosopher holds that the
present war has forever destroyed the
GOD illusion" for thinking men. In
gaining the date for his scientific
works Prof. Haeckel travelled all over
the world, and it is interesting to re-
call that the eminent Teuton scientist
praised in the highest terms the Bri-
| fish colonial system as IAN object
worthy of admiration" The English
he asserted, were Undoubtedly gift
ed beyond any other nation with the
genius for founding and governing
colonies" ruling with as much tact
as Judgment" and added that Eng
lands control of backward peoples
should be hailed with satisfaction.
alike on the grounds of common hu-
mainly and on those of national poll
teal action" He called upon Ger
mans to study the political skill
which brings progress and benefit to
the whole human race
