objected to having autocracies
spoken of as republics. He also
understood quite clearly the differ
ence between republic and de-
mocracy. His description of de-
mocracies is splendid word-picture
of the Russia of to-day. Again, in
"The Federalist," he said:
"Hence it is that such democra-
cies have ever been spectacles Of
turbulence and contention; have
ever been found incompatible with
personal security or the rights of
property, and have in general been
'as short in their lives as they have
been violent in their deaths. Theo-
retic politicians, who have patron
lied. this species Of government,
have enormously supposed that by
reducing mankind to perfect equal
ity in their political rights they
would, at the same time, be per-
fectly equalized and assimilated in
their professions, their opinions,
and their passions. A re-
public, by which l mean a govern
ment in which the scheme of repre-
sentation takes place, opens a
different prospect, and promises the
cure for which we are seeking.
The two great points of
difference between democracy and
republic are, first" etc.
just raise that point to make it
clear that the men who founded
this government had no thought of
founding a democracy, and while
this may seem rather extravagant
statement, / believe that rs per cent
of the ills from which we have been
suffering during the last eighteen
or nineteen years are due to the
prevalent misuse Of the word de-
mocracy. I said to man some time
ago, just as an illustration, that
Lincoln never used the word. This
man had written book of six hun
dred pages on the life of Lincoln,
and said he had used it often.
l asked him to find it. He made
search and found where Lincoln
had used it once.
The point I want to make, first, is
that there was no government prior
to the writing Of our Constitution
and the founding of this Republic
that could secure for its people
either religious freedom, or civil
liberty, or freedom of speech, or
freedom Of the press, or security Of
individual rights, or popular educa-
ton or universal franchise; just the
securing Of any one Of those things
during all those thousands of years
had baff1ed philosophers and states
| men.
Immediately upon the adoption
Of our Constitution and the found
ing of this Republic, we began auto
matically to secure all seven of
those privileges for the first time.
We welded a wholesome influence
on other countries, and they began
to secure them just in proportion
as they initiated the ideas promul-
gated in that Constitution.

STARS
 IN SCRIMMACE
 AT YALE BOWL

New Haven, Oct. 10.-The Yale var stty football eleven defeated the sec ond team yesterday afternoon i'll one Of the hardest fought scrinmases since the season opened, by a score of 4 to 10.
 The second team piled up 10 poin s against the varsity before the ;atter showed any kind of fight whatsoever. Murphy. the seconds quarterback, broke the ice in the first few minutes of play by kicking a perfect field goal from the '35-yard line. The ball was then given 10 the second team O., the E3 ward me. and in five down Hef- feIfnger, who played left end for the scrubs, took he pigskin over the line for touchdown. Murphy kieA ed the goal.
 French, the varsity right halfnack soon ended the scrubs tea party by scoring two touchdowns for the first . team. One of the counts was regis tered after the second team tried a long forward pass. French thought it would be better for the ball if it travelled in the opposite direction. SO he grabbed the pigs6in and tore through the second teams line for 60 yards and a touchdown. Just be- fore this spectacular play French took the ball from the 20 yard line i in four downs for the varsity first score. Aldrich kicked both goals. i French was the shining star oG the afternoon. After the end of the i scrimmage between the first and sec ! ond teams the varsity scrimE.ag ged against Dr. Billy Bulls college tearn, who suffered at the hands of the var | sitys right halfback, the same as tie second team did. French repeated
 his feat of the earlier part of the aft l ernoon, but instead of running 50 yards as he did against the second team he extended the length of his
 little jaunt to 70 yards for a touch 1 down.

OLD BUSINESS HOUSE CHANGES
 ITS OWNERSHIP

The old and well established firm of Wentworth Furniture company has changed hands and the new owners are M. Quinn Go. Many people will regret the retirement of MT. Mix, the present owner who, arter these many years of conscientious trading that won the confidence of his many GUS tomres felt the call of a needed rest Mir Mix stated that after receiving many offers he was finally convinced that Mir. Quinn would be the man to extend the same courtesies and po1f- cy that has been associated with this store in the previous years
 The new company are contempla ing enlarging this business and to make it one of Bridgeport's most progressive furniture stores. At pres ent inventory is in progress but upon the winding up of the details that are necessary in the change of own ership they will announce their open ing in the papers and invite the pub lie to become acquainted with the new mana cement.

Brooks and Sumner
 Fought in Congress
By GRAVY.

In our review of the National A. c. we come upon a period of tenser feel ing between two factions of the club, It was the period prior to 1860 when t seems there was a. war approaching. In the discussion of it, we find the words, federal and "secessionist," much used and we assume it was the old Federal League, that was so much unsettling---the sport world. During this period occurred the fracas be- tween Sumner of Nassa chusetts and Brooks of South Carolina. Even the light between that other illustrious son of Massachusetts, John L. Sulli- van, and James J. Corbett, did not at tract more attention.
 Sport followers have observed that two fighters of the same class will often make faces at each other and the air blue hurling defies, while a third fighter who happens to be six ounces under their class can't get t-n- sideration from either Usually there's 8 Battle Creek
 Now in the fight I'm about to report the saucy things were said about an absent members. The absent one was Senator Butler of South Carolina, though another son of that sunny State was present as we shall see. Charley Sumner was a, man of mus cular tongue and on this occasion he used it to lash the State of South Car olina in general and Senator Butler in particular Preston Brooks, a nephew, determined to avenge his uncle and his native State.
 Again I am obliged to find fault with the fight promoters of the Ma Gonal A. C. for their poor arrange ments- There is a peculiar sponta- 12eity about the fights of this club that is a bit disconceTting to those who lay wagers, but il has withal the charm o1 individuality One never knows al what moment the fight will begin, no1 how to secure ringside seats. In the tight in question, young Brooks deter mined the time and place. Approach ing Sumner from the rear, accompa- Died by paTtisans, he announced the opening of the fight in the following words: '-Mr- Sumner, I have read your speech and have come to pun ish you for this libel on my State anG on q gray-haired relatiye-''
 Sumner tried to rise from his seat but without waiting for the forInality Brooks struck him over the face witt an instrument that is sometimes car ried by gents. Sumner did some clever foot-work, oyerturning somt furniture in his efforts to gain his feet but he was beaten down by Brooks his cane breaking under the force O the blows. A novel system employed at this fight was the squared circle formed by Brooks friends who stoot with drawn weapons to prevent inter ference. Sumner sank unconsciou! amid his own claret, and the honor O. something or other had been vindi cated, though some thought it haC been snirched. An effort was mad to expel Brooks, but it failed, and h. resigned only to be reelected, re turning with many canes as tokens 0 approval by his admirers. Thus an other page of glory was added to tn National A. c.

Night Riding Had
 No Bad Effect on
 AudaciOus in Race

New York, Oct. 10-Night riding has been the means whereby defeat has been brought to many a horse well meant under cofors when ulterior motives which were used argued against the horse showing any sem bIance of form. but it was shown Wednesday afternoon at Jamaica that the sort of night riding to which M. L. Schwartz's Audacious had been subjected had not done him the least bit of harm, despite the fact that he had been in a railroad car all night in his trip from Maryland and was landed at Jamaica track at 8 o'clock in the morning.
 This knowledge was held by many who try to keep in close touch with what's doing at the various tracks, and when he was announced as an
 added starter in the Montague, a sprint handicap at three-quarters of
 mile with 127 pounds up his chances were none too seriously considered because of the seeming handicap occasioned by his night riding"
 When it came to racing, however, he showed none of the tuckered out condition which was expected to re- SuIt rom h1S journey, ana dIter 1Ol- lowing closely the pace set by the speedy Toto, he proceeded to run 1 over'' the Weir sprinter when he l was let down in the stretch, winning 1 cleverly by a length from Toto, which in turn beat R. T. Wilson's Hannibal 1 which was weighted similarly tc l Audacious.
 1 Aside from the point that he could 1 not travel all night and be fit for any 1 sort of a race. let alone sprint i event, the handicappers were a uni | on the proposition that it would be l impossible for the son of Star Shoo 1 to have run a mile and quarter las Saturday with 118 pounds up ant i beaten three, and a half lengths il ! 2:02 2-5 and tcome back to a ract
 at six furlongs.
 This particular race was run a 1 Laurel and won by Sir Barton witt 1 133 pounds, this champion having beaten Mad Halter, 106 pounds. Int | improvement shown by Audacious il | the Sir Barton-Mad Halter race i
 attested to by a peep at his previous | race over the Jamaica track in tn Mineola Handicap a a mile and 1 sixteenth, when he carried 12E pounds and failed, by a length ant i 8 half to concede seven pounds tt | Mad Halter. Therefore, his i'm pavement from this race to that a Laurel was a matter of five pounds.

RATIONAL. LEAGUE AGAIN
 RANKS 1ST IN BASEBALL
Triumph Of Older Organization in Worlds Series Is First Since 1914-Sidelights on Last
 Game By Correspondents.

New York, Oct. 10-The National League truly regained it's place in the sun yesterday when the Cincinnati Reds captured the second series won by the parent major league in ten years. The old fve-year rule which was so freely discussed before the series has held good. The Nationals have won in 1909. 1914 and 1919.
 Old Bill Gleason also has taken his place among the graduates of the old Orioles who have proved world s series Boomers Jennings, Robinson, and now Gleason. Among them they have managed ten world s series contenders and have landed only one victory. That was AIcGraw s triumph in 1905, when his club beat the Athletics.
 Worlds series precedent again has strongly been followed. The moral and actual advantage of victory in the first game again has been firmly abolished. In 13 out of Is series the winner of the first game has cap turad the series and no club that has lost the first and second games ever came through. The Giants tried to slatter this dope two years ago play ing the White SoX, but it couldn't be done.
 This year it was the sox who tried to overcome this terrific handi- cap. but the task was too big for them. Cincinnati's victory was clean cut and well earned. The Reds play cd better baseball than the White Sox and had by far the better pitch ing.
 The finishing game showed the la rnentab1e weakness of the White SoE pitching reserves. With even a man like Luque Cinctunati's sixth best pitcher. in reserve the White Sox might have pulled out yesterdays game and tied the series.
 But when little Claudio Williams failed in the first inning, Gleason had no one on his bench but fellows like Bill James and Wilkinson, and the Red lead grew and grew during their stay on the mound.
 Sixteen hits were prodded out of Cileason's pitching trio, the series closing with the hardest hitting game If the set. The batting weddings of both sides found their battiNg eyes in Il closing game. Eddie Roush and Eddie Collins, both of whom had 3een dOIhS pOoiiE dl odI, idPPeu oHl three hits, while Heinie Groh, another batting boomer of the series, closed with two hits.
 Little Williams, the pudgy left handler, was heart-broken over his in- ability to fool the Reds. In one third of an inning the Cincinnati s,uggers got to him for four hits, as many as he yielded in each the sec ond and fifth games of the series. He appeared to have his speed, but evi- dentIy could not get his old break on the ball.

Charley Harvey Is
 Trembley's Manager

Charley Harvey has taken another real fighter under his management in Eddie Trembly, the French-Canadian middleweight.
 Trembly is both a clever boxer and a hard accurate puncher and has a number of knockouts to his credit He has defeated such good men as Harry Greb, Marty Greb and Fred Dyer. Harvey is certain he has the next middleweight champion of the world in Trembly and is supported in his opinion by good judges and critics who pronounced Trembly to be a second Stanley Ketchel.

In former games Claudie's control caused him most of his trouble, but yesterday he was able to get 1t over but the ball had nothing on it. While he was getting his tanning in the first he threw over only three balls. There was nothing fiuky about the hits which Daubert, Groh, Roush and Duncan tore off in the first inning. They were solid pokes, hit cleanly to the outfield and drives that whistled past the ears of the infelders. There was no denying it wasn't Wiliams's s day.
 James had nothing but his fast ball, and he didn't have the best control of that. Discarded by both the Tigers and Red Sox this season, Bill was supposed to be Gleason's fourth best pitcher. But the Reds soon showed 1 that he wasn't of the world series cal ibre. Wilkinson, who pitched durin g the Sox rout in the opening game, was 1 permitted to finish out the series for the Sox. He pitched fair ball. Sew eral balls hit off him took bad bounds, but like James, he is a pitcher who
 has no place in a world series. Hod EIler joins little Dickfe Kerr, the SOX lefthander. as the only pitcher to score two victories in the series. But HOd was not as sensational yes terday as when he beat Eddie Cicotte i in that brilliant game on Comiskey Field last Saturday.
 l The Sox hit every Cincinnati pitcher 1 hard when they faced him a second time, and E,ller was no exception. The . SoX slashed out some vicious drives
 early in the game, but Filler held in
 the pinches and was brilliantly sup ! ported. However, in the eighth, the
 Sov hit his afiner where even his out
 felders couldn't get them, and raised
 q hIcker of hope for American League
 partisans by hammering out four
 runs.

 with the farewell inning without fur

 all that ksp- E3ler in tha game to ths

 situation became real dangerous.

 self, and as the Reds foated along or

 But that is where Cincinnati dis. played it's great strength during the Aaries. Had Eller weakened suff

.TOPROBE CAUSE OF
LULL IN BUILDING

What is holding back building and
construction work?
More than FIVE hundred opinions on
this question have been received in
the last two weeks by the Informa-
tion and Education Service OF the
United States Department of Labor
Many building authorities blame Con
gress, others charge the financial IN
terests Of the country with respon-
sibility. In the central west, freight
rates are said to be eXerting an in
curious influence. In the main, high
costs Of materials are held to be the
chief obstacle.
Don't expect private capital to
build merely for the sake Of furnish
ing Jobs for workmen," writes a we'll
known architect from Buffalo. That
is the obligation of the Government,
be Il local, State or national. Let
public works be started at once for
the benefit of the public. The cost
viii be high and the public will have
TO pay the price, but the public viii
reap the benefit in the reduction Of
unemployment, the absorption Of the
products Of many industries and the
use Of many works Of which there Is
great need"
Can't, Get Loans.
From Passaic, n. j. comes the fol-
lowing statement: 'T am greatly
hlndered in progress of this work By
not being able to procure loans by
way Of mortgage, in large amounts,
say, in the neighborhood Of $15O.O0O
The banking institutions and mort
gage companies are making only
small loans around here, and, even
where there is ample security, will
not consider investing a large
amount Of money in one place"
Labor conditions and demands are
held to be unfavorable to immediate
building operations by many OF the
authorities writing to the Informa-
ton and Education Service. An archi-
tect, writing from Lincoln, Nebr.,
makes the following statement, typi-
cal Of the complaints along this line:
Construction work in these parts
fs now and has been impeded not a
little, due TO the unreasonable de-
nands Of labor not only for eXorbi-
tant wages, but more by the fact GER
tain very undesirable trade rules are
being enforced by labor organiza-
tions, which run up the cost Of doing
work enormously"
Many Of the contractors and build
