A : Pretty Tale of Helpirg Water Entitled,
"Fifty-one Per Cent, of the Registered Vote"
Mayor Wilson holds his office and the power o'f it by
scarcely more 'than ONE-THIRD of the vote CAST in
the-last city election. : '
The president of the United States in office is chief ser
vant of the people by scarcely half, of the votes OAST in
1908. ' - .
The president-elect of the United States will take of
fice upon the authority of some 6,000,000 out of 15,000,000
votes actually CAST in November. .
The governor-elect will take office in Hartford upon
credentials issued by much less than HALF of the vote
actually CAST.
A few years ago the constitution required the gover
nor to have a MAJORITY of : the votes ACTUALLY
CAST.
That rule came so dose to PARALYZING- govern
ment that it had to be repealed, and it was RiPilALED.
The requirement of a majority of - the vote actually
cast would, stop the machinery- of popular government as
it. Is now AOTistitni.p.fl in thpi TTrnt,frI S5t.nt.ps. !

had PETITIONED for it.
1 Tht Post didn't realizeT the meaning of that proposi
tioni It doesn't now. , It didn't understand the stupidity
oi the thing it said it wanted. .' 1
The Post was simply trying to help it3 rich friends
who want a great bonded debt on the noises of Bridge
port and who do not want municipal ownership of pubic
utilities, and who most especially do not want municipal
ownership of, water. .
; Then Mayor Wilson proposed another great debt for
uni5roductive things, and. . submitted it to the voters,
without a petition. , ,
i The Post said no more about 51 per cent, of the regis
tered voters as a requirement before a referendum.
It was helping water. ... ,
. And .while these bonds were in submission the Post
said no more about the wisdom of requiring 51 per cent, of
the registered voters, to pass upon them.
. The Post was, helping water. 1
- It wanted, the debt, because water wanted the debt
It didn't care; and-water didn't care,: whether one" or no
per cent, of the. people favored the debt, if it got it.
Now the unproductive debt is beaten and there is a
prospect that a debt may be
water works, a productive debt, :a debt that will pay its
own way "and 'more.' ' " - vv v. f .
Comes the Post, fiatulently dull, saying that' muni
cipal ownership is such an imnortant thing that 51 PER
CENT. OP THE REGISTERED VOTE ought to be vre
quired for affirmative action. ' n K
, The Post, you see, is helping water. ' - w , x
Cheerfully, to help water, would the Post create an
unproductive debt of $7,000,000 or so, "and never make a
peep about changing the American , system, which is that
a majority of those voting shall prevail.".
- Cheerfully to heh water' does the Post insist that a
useful and PRODUCTIVE DEBT must not be created fcr
the purchase of waterworks unless, forsooth, 51 per cent,
of the registered vote assent at the. ballot box.-.
, What is the most important function in American
government 'among ..the friends of waterl , .
Is it the election of a president, of a, governor, of, a
mayor? Is it the creation of organic law, the making of a
constitution? No! .
. In the sanctum of water these functions of govern
ment weigh less than feathers, , For them a half, or a
thirds r a quarter of the vote actually cast ia sufficient.
But, Americans, citizens with brains under their hats,
must not establish a municipal water supply unless 51 per
cent, of the registered voters assent. ,

OUTLANDISH INITIATION OP
YOUNG GIRL. '
New Haven, Nov. 16 Fbllawingr the
outlandish initiation of a young girl
by members of Kappa Mu Sigma so
rority of the High school, the school
committee of the board of education
i ST ' tT,i:, tfT T " ""
forbade any more public ' initiation
stunts . by , any secret society of the
school.
T-he specific incident which resulted
in the furpension of the sorority was
the outlandieh garb ' worn last Friday
afternoon oy one of the prospective
members of thel society, who stood at
the corner of Church and Chapel
streets and, attracted. b iher eet-UD.
the attention of hundreds of people, so
that Officer Lynch had to disperse
the crowd and escort the girl to a
nearby store. She was ordered by her
society superiors to wait' at that par
ticular place, and it was explained that
they were detained by a class meeting
and could not get there at the appoint
ed ' time, so she had to wait, but H
was pretty generally Understood that
this was the society's method of mak
ing one of its members "ride the goat".
This is the . first time trouble has
arisen in the , societies since they were
placed under a board of control two
years ago, whose business , was to see
that the societies 1 conduct" themselves
in- a manner consistent with! the eooo
of the school. Under this supervision
they have apparently, acted wisely, or
In euch a way that their doings have
not become public tmtil the present In
cident. However, from .testimony of
those members of the society who told
of the doings, behind closed ooors.: tne
conduct Is jut as outlandish as It ever
was, and the control of the! advisory
board is merely nominal. It is'under-
stood that further ,'r charges '.will - be
brought against the society, which may
put it out of existence entirely.!
The board and superintendent : were
of the opinion when the society evil
was solved in its present manner, that
it would be better to regulate the So
cieties than to abolish, them, and they
were supposed to work under a bona
fide agrement with -- the . controlling
board. . which, if violated, would re
sult In their abolition. Many parents
ire of the .opinion- that' the societies
should be abolished , altogether, ; and
that only when they are. will the local

Norton was arraigned before Judge R.
C. Stoddard of Milford and his' case
was continued until next Tuesday. He
was unable to furnish bonds and-was
taken to the New , Haven county , Jail.
The specific charge against him is one
of attempted arson. Sheriff Maher was

case for over a week. - t"

or the fires. The authorities suspect,
that Norton may be responsible . for
