The trend toward the develop
ment Of metropolitan supply systems
IS already seen in New Haven,
Bridgeport, and Hartford. These
three cities now supply water to all
or part of 80 towns out of the total
Of 1863 towns in the state, including
emergency connections not contin-
ually used. The three systems with
existing emergency connections can
now supply water to $4,000 persons
or 44.4 percent of the 1880 popula-
ton. In recent years connections
between the water supplies Of SIAM
ford and Greenwich have likewise
developed unified system, capable
Of serving nearly 5000 more people.

In connection with future water
supply planning, the State Depart

ton Of Connecticut water works Of
ficials has for some time past been
engaged in studies of future plans
FOR public water supplies. These
studies have been carried out by a
sanitary engineer of the State De-

assigned to the work. In the case

F. Lynch, republican incumbent,
Is not seeking denomination. Rep
resentative Clarence Baldwin Of
Woodbridge Is also being mem
toned for the nomination but
Judge Badger appears to have
the more substantial backing.
In Manchester the republicans
are just recovering from a bitter
primary battle in which Richard
Martin and Clarence N. Lupien
were nominated for the board Of
selectmen following a stiff con-
test. Martin and Lupien are both
comparatively newcomers to poll

soned politicians.

him on the subject Of running.

Confidence reigned in both the

today. With the state conventions
of both major parties out of the
way supporters of States Attorney
Arthur M. Brown, cop. guberna-
torial nominee, were confident that
he would beat Governor Wilbur l..
Cross, democratic incumbent.
Cross followers at the same time
feel sure that they have the man
who Is destined to be Connecticut's
governor during 1887 and 1888.
Now that the state tickets are
complete the work Of whipping
the local tickets into shape will
be pushed through with much
speed. There are various local
fights going in throughout the
state. In the 32nd district is ex-
pected that Senator William G.

mated despite the fact that Rep

To make certain that these future

supplies in water purity, the 1885
General Assembly amended the
General Statutes to provide that not

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ThE ESSENCE OF THE CONSTITUTION

Judge John j. Parker's defense of the Constltu
ton before the convention of the North Carohna
Bar Association is impressive in its simplicity and
also in the circumstance that this noted Jurlst
maintains his reverence for that immortal docu-
ment on the ground that it is just as necessary TO-
day as ever in order to make those guarantees OF
liberty to individuals which never go out OF style
Judge Parker boils down these protective phases
of the Constitution into four great principles which
are these:
1y Liberty of the individual protected against
the arbitrary power of the State
(2) The Federal system which gives to the States
the right Of local self-government in local affairs
while giving to the nation all the powers necessary
for the development of national life
60 A division of the powers of sovereignty be-
tween the legislative, executive and judicial branch
es of government, so that government will repre-
sent action based upon reason and not upon arbl-
trary villa government of men.
(4) A system of checks and balances so arranged
that no department of government will be able 10
exercise sovereign power without the cooperation
of the other departments.
As matter of fact, this digest of the Constltu-
ton which Judge Parker makes is all there is to
that protocol. The four cardinal principles which
he analyses represent the sum and substance Oh
the whole scope and purpose of the Constitution
There is much to the point he makes that these
principles are as essential today in a democracy as
in the hour when they were enunciated and written
into this Magma Charta
Conditions certainly change and society pro-
crosses but man will always crave those individual
expressions which the Constitution proposes to
award and to honor and to stand guard against

death by shortsightedly putting
up and keeping up passenger
flares above what the general pub
lie was willing or able to pay.
Are the book publishers killing
their own business by the, prices
which they are putting on books ?
THE publishers declare that the
selling life of new book is short,
that to get it going in a large
way they must put on an eXpen-
sive publicity campaign, and that
they must charge $500 or $3.50
for new fiction and from $3.50 up
for new non-fiction. But is that
reasoning any sounder than was
the reasoning of the railroad COM
panies?
Does it not seem that the book
publishers would get better re-
suits from their expensive sales
campaigns if they would put the
prices of their books within the
reach of the masses? Does it not
stand to reason that a dozen per-
sons would buy book at a dollar,
or that two dozen would buy at
fifty cents, where one person
would pay $3.50? When a book
is being printed in large quaint
ties the cost of each volume is
very small-and the greater the
quantity the smaller the cost per
volume,

THE OTHER SIDE

Public taste being what it is, the chances are
newspapers will never be without crime news, but
The Record welcomes an opportunity to point out
the service newspapers often render in retardng
crime. "
The fear of publicity Of law violators' names in
the newspapers does more to keep down drunken
and reckless driving than heavy fines imposed, &C
cording to Captain Charles d. Farmer of the state
highway patrol.
81 have had any number of drivers arrested for
drunken driving say they would gladly pay almost
any fine if we would just keep their names out OF
the newspapers" said Captain Farmer MANY OF
them would gladly pay fine of 5000 rather than
have their names published in the lists of those
whose licenses have been revoked because of con-
victons for drunken driving.
"But we always tell them that our records are
public records open to the newspapers at all times
ind that this publicity is just one of the additional
penalties they must pay if they are arrested and
convicted of driving drunk" . 80.
Since the days of the Puritans in New England
when offenders were punished by duckings, fog
gings confinement to stocks in some public place
fear of having crime exposed has always been an
acute part of the punishment, and therefore has
helped serve as a crime prevention force.
This assertion by a man of Captain Farmers
experience and prominence takes some of the sting
out of oft-repeated accusations that newspapers
cater entirely to sensationaism in publishing crime
