LETTERS TO
 THE EDITOR
Fditor The putnam Patriot: :

Editor The Putnam Patriot:
 Dear Sir.-The title. Federal En- croachments on State Rights. heading the article by Horace J. Fenton in the July number of Current History, con veys the impression that the Federal Government. without regard t0 the provisions of the constitution, deprives the states of their rights against the will of the people Surrender of states rights to the Federal Government by the representatives of the people, would be more to the point
 If local government is more t9 be desired than federal supervision Of To- cal affairs, how can the states be de- prived of self government, excepting through an act of their representa- lives? The President says, By fall ing to meet national demand the states lost the power tO act.
 The Federal Government did not take from the states their power to act" but the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, for po- iiticai reasons, surrendered tine states power to act" to the Federal Govern ment.
 The states are supposed to have the management of their internal affairs while external matters are controlled by Congress If the states are honest ly jealous of thetr remaining eOnstitu- tinnal rights they must protect these rights against themselves.

An Executive Mansion

The suggestion of Edward Bali of i this city that the Barbour house on l Washington street be secured by the state te he used as the official residence of the state governor and to be known as the State Executive Mansion, has for moment revived interest in a sub jeet that pops up now and then. and alWays with the same result. namely. Co make it evident that the establish. ment of an executive mansion for he governor of the state Is objection able Co the people of Connecticut. Per haps the matter was morc fully dis cussed when Lorin \. Cooke ot Bark hamsted was governor m ls9i-s than at any other time. The discussion was then quite general and it was looked at from every possible angle. The social reason was stressed and it was pointed out that with permanent residence the governor would be the social lumnary of Hartford during hts term of office lt was that which made the proposition ridiculous, and to no one more than to the hard headed. sensible. hamespun re ideRt ot a rural town in Ltchiirld county who was to be the first occupant ol the mansion .The proposition is absurd Can you im- aeine me being a social leader. All 1 want is an office in the capitol Co at tend Co the executive business of the state. remarked Governor Cooke to a person with whom ho eonversed on the subject
 The strong objection of Governor coke ta be the occupant of an eXecu- tive mansion disposed of the matter
 for some time, lt was revived in 1909
 when the late Governor Lilley rented house ou Pennington avenue for the legislative session Governor Lillcy's experience of Washington life may have suggested the advisability of Connecticut having an official residence for its governor. The maintenance ef mansion would involve an expense which would restrict the occupancy of Y to people 0f wealth No one but man. ar woman. of wealth could afford to hold the office of chief executive II he or she had Co maintain a mansion with the salary at Sa000 q year.
