TRIAL OF ZENGER
John Paul Zenger, . editor of the
New York Weekly, was acquittied upon
a charge of criminal libel, on Aug. 4,
1435. This memorable victory In the
courts "established the freedom of the
American press, and laid the founda
tion of that liberty of utterance which
makes th"e "newspapers- of the .United
' States such a formidable enemy of

libel laws were early used to throttle

century, when newspapers " firstvan

Prynne, for publishing a con

THE KANSAS CASE

electors.- These electors do
tne jNation, but trom tne, f several states, under tne con
stitution the power to actually designate the President is
theirs. But it is inany years since they have actually ex
ercised that' power.
They.have been rhere, automatons for tlie registration
of . the choice of some party, 1 '
If a state went Republican, the electors of that state
voted for the man the. Republican party had nominated.
If a siate went Democratic, its electors voted for the
candidate of .-.the Democratic -party, .
The whole" arrangement was informal, a sort of gen
tleman's agreement, and it worked "well enough until the
recent split in Chicago. 1 v
Now, in certain states, the validity of the Chicago nomi
nation. of Mr. Taf t is doubted. Fraud vitiates everything -it
touches. The contention of the' dissenting Republicans
is that Taft's nomination is fraudulent and not binding on
Republicans. . , yy v ' ;
In Kansas the names of eight electors favorable to
Roosevelt were attempted to be put on the primary ballot
under the regular Republican designation. s
Taft men sought the courts to prevent this and their
petition was denied. r , , ' c
They appealed 'to the United States courts,' and two
Supreme court justices heard the appeal.
' f These justices' have decided that the Roosevelt; elect
ors may go on the ticket as Republicans, but reserve the
right to order them from the ballot sometime before No
vember, if the entire court shall -find error; " ; ' ' ;
Let us assume that the Kansas voters in the Republi
can primary give a majority to these Roosevelt' electors.
"What is the Supreme court of the United States going to
do about it? v ' ; ) . 7
V Will the court deny the right of a state to'designate
its own' candidates ? - "Will a Federal court undertake "to
say to Kansas: Republicans that they may not use8 their
judgment 'as to the .actual candidate; of the Chicago con
vention, for if Taft 's' nomination was obtained by fraud,
he has no nomination that has claim to Republican respect.
The Kansas courts took the position that the matter
is, political and beyond judicial interference, f ;
This position connnends itself to most' thoughtful
men. . . ' J;y-r',' 'y . y ':yy- --
' It would be- an exceedingly dangerous thing if the
principle rere established . that the Federal Supreine court
may dictate to the states as Jto what candidates they shall
vote -for and under what designations.
The R epublicaif party is a -voluntary ' organization,
composed mmbers as there are staites'and ter
ritories. Each of these ; states and territories is independ
ent of the national group, and may remain the Republican
party within. its own territory, ,v' '

actual Republican candidate they, have the, right to vote
for him as such. : s , - -" . : ' -'-
tury, and ' the . general result " was to
sustain the rights of the 'press to in
dulge In honest and accurate criti
cism of men iand' institutions, both
public "and private.' The libel law9 of
England remain much "more stringent
than those, tf the ' United States, and
"trial by newspaper," which' has been
much criticised in the -United States,
is unknown in the mother country. 'On
the other hand, English, 'newspapers'
are permitted to publish anything
that appears in the public records jef
courts, with the result that the Lon
don sensational press contains .mucn
matter that could notv pass through
the mails on this side of the Atlantic.
In all of the civilized countries , of the
earth, facts set forth in decent langu
age may now be - published in the
press, and editors and publishers are
held "responsible only , for deviation
from the truth, except that in some
countries even truth is not to" be told
of moriarchs. Germany was long oie
of "the, most backward of nations in
respect to freeftom of the press,1 and
every radical journal had to'keep a
"jail editor,", but of late the 'prosecu
tions have become much less fre
quent. - t " . ". Ji '"; " '
In this country, the -privilege of
free discussion is sometimes abused
and upon occasion the freedom pf the
press degenerates into license. In
tne whole, however, it the , liberty
which the press enjoys is immensely
valuable to the people.
The -term "press" . includes every
form of publication intended for pub
lic circulation. As Kng as freedom
of the press exists, newspapers, nor
the more conventional publications of
any; kind can' Ions conceal the truth
x - Avmere pamphlet, which may ' be
hastily. printe for a few dollars and
circulated, will dispel any falsehood,
and bring the light of truth to . any
condition.' Thus the press contains
within itself an automatic! corrective.
If one branch of the press finds the
tr-Jth unprofitable, another will take
uy the torch of progress where the
4rst laid it down.
MOOSE
"Were there ever any Jbuli moose in
Connecticut r
This question was fired at Forrest
Morgan, assistant librarian of the
Watkinson Library, and the usual
ready answer from Hartford's' ency
clopedia of historical information was
instantly forthcoming. .-x
"Benjamin Trumbull in his first
volume of his 'History of Connecticut
gives- an interesting account of the an
imals of Connecticut: and I am sure
that you will -find moose mentioned
there." - .
Now that the bull moose .are getting
into, this . state .'again - it Is Interesting
United States is chosen by
not derive their places from
Jo notice what Mr. Trumbull had to
eay about their predecessors. Evi
dently they did not-make any partic
ular impression . upon the veteran
writer's imagination, as he .classes the
animal along1 with the bears, the lob
sters, the wild geese and the other
game,- fish and fowl, with ; which the
country was infested or blessed. , It
is comforting to the faithful to know
that' the bull moose around- these
parts have ' been ' dead since long, long
ago and that history .repeats itself. i
Instead - of the bull moose "eatin'
'em alive," as the placards at the New!
Haven convention expressed it, the lo
cal bull moose were eaten and that Is
why. there are . no more of them. ' Ac
cording to Trumbull', the Indians v"fed
on the flesh and entrails of moose,
deer, bears and all kinds of wild beasts
and fowls." He explained their pecu
liar, thoroughness by saying that "they
had good stomachs and nothing came
amiss." ,
Notwithstanding the hunger' which
was so disastrous to the noble animal,
some ''of the Indians apparently, had
re3pect for. his memory and liked to
wear his emblem around -with them.
It Is probable that some of the em
blems lasted much longer than the
real bull moose which they represent
ed. The historian says: "They also,
by incisiojis into which they, conveyed
a, black or blue unchangeable ink,
made on their cheeks, arms and other
parts of the bodies the figures of
moose, deer, bears, wolves, hawks,
eagles and all such living creatures as
were most agreeable to,, their .fancies.
These pictures were indelible and last
ed during life.
The moose was most useful after he
had been "skinned." The Indians
mocasins - were generally made " of
moose hide, but sometimes of buck
skin. "Tbe sachems, on great days,
when they designed to show 'them
selves in the full splendor of .majesty,
not only covered themselves with man
tles of moose or deer skins, with va
rious embroideries of white beads , and
with, painting? of different kinds, but
they wore theekin of a bear, wildcat
or some terrible creature upon their
shoulders ajid arms." , v
Modern politicians, would doubtless
like some information as to the "best
way to hunt bull moofee. Trumbull
does not. give any help along this line
and the only light on how the Indians
hunted is given by John W.' DeFor
est's "History of the Indians of Con
necticut." His information applied to
the hunting of deer. ' The method was
s"every man In his own district," and
the same method is recommended for
those who wish to capture present day
bull moose. DeForest's account "of
the 'deer hunting .follows. - "Having
during the spring taken notice of the
haunts of the deer, they repaired to
them in bands of ten or twenty after
the harvest was over in the fall. They
carried , traps. On arriving at the lo
calities already marked, each man se
lected a district two or three miles in
extent and built for himself a small
hunting house or bark and rushes.
His traps, . thirty st forty in number,
he set in the deer paths and near the
springs in his -district and every .two
days went the rounds to visit them."
It was. on account of the incessant
warfare of their hungry foes that the
early bull moose of Connecticut passed
into history. Their abundance is at
tested to by Trumbull in the following
language: "The country -was no les
productive of animals than of natural
fruit.- In the groves there were plen
ty of 'deer, moose, fat bears, turkeys,
herons, partridges, quails, pigeons and
other wild game which were excellent
for food, .Connecticut abounded in

cat and other animals common 'in New
England . were equally so in Connecti

the effect that the Keystone state Re

ly frightened, after a careful canvass
of the situation in-their districts that
they have decided to cut loose from
the regular Republican congressional

may be said as ' a fact that the more

Mr. Comstqck's Statement.;
(New Haven Union.) 4
The reply of Charles W. Corns tock,
chairman of . the ' Democratic State
Central committee,- to certain accusa
tions that he is and has been a lobby
ist for the New Haven road in the
Legislature, is a. frank declaration of
the part which Mr, Cpmstock has play
ed in "the third house at Hartford. - -Frankly,
we can rind nothing dis
honorable . in Mr. Comstock's activi
ties as candidly set forth by himsetf.
His reply to his- critics should not only
Kiionr thpm. but: it ought to set at
rest once and for all, all such criticism
of Mr. Com stock. : v ,..
We will admit, however, that we
have entertained the belief that Mr.
Comstock was a lieutenant of Mr. Ro
raback in the x lobby; For this, rea-:
son. we aeemea miwioo
gentleman from Montvilie snoma re-,
tain his post as the head of the Dem
oeratic party in this ; state. We are
e-iari that our susoicions .conceirning
Mr. Comstock -have proved groundless.
Our chief opposition to., mm as e
continued head of the Democratic
State Central committee was -.based
upon his alleged affiliations with that
public service corporation in this state
which has interfered and,, is interfering
to an unwarranted extent in the poli
tics of Connecticut. Mr, Comstock,
having, effectively rid us of this belief,
we know of no reason , why he should
not be allowed to continue n he
work which, he has. so long and.eo
faithfully performed for the party.
We again take this opportunity to
say that The Union is not opposed fo
lobbying.1 The lobbyist has a very
orooer sphere within .which legitimate
work may. be done. The Union ia..W,-

The Paved Highways. ; m
' (Ansonia Sentinel.) ; ' '
The request which is being made of
boards of trade throughout the state
to send delegates to a good roads meet
ing to be held in Bridgeport Monday
afternoon, affords plenty, of ;opportun
ity'for others besides automobilists to
present, at that meeting, their views
concerning the . proposition to build a
paved highway from Port Chester, K.
Y., eastward to New Haven and, eyen
tuallv across the state of Connecticut.
Up to the present time this movement
has been principally fathered and fa
vored by automobilists, but the Bridge
port meeting,' though .called at the in
stance of the Connecticut Automobile
association, will give plenty of chahee
for others to be heard. -. "'
The letter sent out by Charles ' M.
Robinson, secretary of the association,
invites the presidents of boards of
trade to send a ", specified number of
delegates to the meeting, and " while
there may be a proneness to send men
who have heretofore manifested an in
terest in the building of state high
ways others besides , motorists ' are
likely' to be included in the list. Thus
far the advocates of the paved-high-way
plan are those who are dissatis
fied with present methods of highway
construction and seek for the state
some premanent relief. It is known,
however, that hundreds of people- be
sides owners of automobiles are inter
ested in the new movement and have
manifested a desire, to help prornote
it. '. ... .
present indications are that a perma
nent organization will be the outcome
of the Bridgeport meeting and that
some plan will there, or thereafter be
devised: for carrying the plan to the
state- legislature, backed by not less
than 5,000 organized voters. Before
that is done, however, it is proposed
to gather technical information con
cerning the advantages and disadvan
tages of different kinds of paving, used
under different conditions, with a view
to 'arriving jat sound conclusions upon
which maybe based the definite fu
ture stajid ,of the organization..

Where in politics are. we at? ' we
seem to have arrived at a time when
the state of pubhV and of private mindi
is unstable, when people are ready to
grasp at almost anything'- new, ? with
out taking a second look when ; the
latest ' idea is accepted as the best,
regardless of the good service, which
has-been rendered by the old. Even
some of the so-called conservative
men and men of prominence at that
do not appear to be quite certain of
their own beliefs in politics. The
same "is true of religion, manifesting
itself in a multiplicity of creeds and a

reach heaven. Present-day disturb-J
ances in politics are no greater than
those which have been going on for
years in other lines of thought and a
sad part of. it is they . do not promise

In the opinion of many, , however,
good will come out of the-third-party
movement but not through success in

popular belief that by compelling need
ed reformations in both of the two old

something which might just as surely
have been brought about through an
equally determined effort put forth
within the parties themselves rather

One Poor Man in Politics.
.
(New Britain Herald.)
Despite the" cry .that a , poor man
has Mttle . chance in politics, one poor
man seems to have attained a pretty
high ranking there, Governor Thomas
R. Marshall: - ' ' '
Yesterday that gentleman said he
had arranged , to, borrow $5,000 from a
bank to defray his campaign expenses.
Many men stood ready to give him
outright much more than that. With
out impugning their motives he said
frankly: "I have never been under ob
ligations to, any person for campaign
funds and now is not the time to be
gin." -
This high-minded, simple living wes
terner wh walks to his office or rides
a street car. is calculated to appeal as
few men could to the minds of the
great body of American citizens. This
latest proof of his sturdy Independence
will not weaken his cause.
Straw Voters.
(Hartford Times.)
The result of the Waterbury Repub
lican's straw vote among the Water
bury factories continues' to show a
preponderance of favor for Debs. The
watch factory where . they .make
the watches which made Waterbury
famous went for -Debs by a" plural
ity of just one vote over Roosevelt.
A 'single straw voter cast a vote for
former Mayor John P. Elton, whereat
the Republican,- strangely enough, re
bukes him for a "sense of humor." On
ly a small proportion of the factory
employes seem to be voting. Which
may. lead an observer to the belief
that the socialists are doing most of
the voting, while the other men are
sitting tignt, maKing up ineir minus.
