There la a difference of opinion be tween President Roosovelt and Judge Taft over the length of tlmo required to give the residents of the Philippine Islands their political freedom. It 1h Judge Taft's deliberates judgment, founded on an extended experience In the Philippines, that at leat two gen eradons are required before our little brown burden will be etrong enough to toddlo along by Itself. Two gen erations tneana sixty years. It la President Roosevelt's Judgment, founded on -we know not what, that the trick will be done In twenty years. It would bo lntereating, If It were worth while, to foljow more closely than the mere statement of difference permits, the future of the .Klllplnos, Jt has always been obnoxious to de fenders of the constitution to dwell upon the fact that this country main tains a few odd millions of people In subjection, and that under some cir cumstances the constitution does not follow the flag. In the state of Mas sachusetts a whole lot of peoplo have fretted themselves Into a fever over the failure of the government to give the brown men their political free dom, and even here in staid old Con necticut men have been known to burn the midnight oil while Intellcc tually plotting the emancipation of the Islands. If we had not held our selves In leash we should have en listed for the struggle, and consecrat ed our better natures to the cause Enlistment and consecration are to bouIs "like ours, meat, drink and In spiration. The controversy between the presi dent and his former secretary In this , connection has suggested that either one or the other would toll us when the good old state of Connecticut will tie ready for self government. We are not a brown people and we are not a little people physically; we try to be a burden to the champions of political freedom, and yet we appear to be neglected. As an examplo of the .manner In which we are deprived of the right to govern, we have but to make hasty reference to the way In which the dominant political party does things for us, Implying our polit ical dependence upon greater minds than the majority possess. The con stitution of the state requires that once In two years the residents and voters shall elect a man to preside over our destinies as governor. That would appear to Imply the assembling of the freemen for conference and an untrammeled choice. It would also suggest that all meet on common ground and that one mat weighs as much as another. It certainly Implies that within the borders of the state Philippine traditions and practices are unknown and would not be tolerated. Now is. there any material differ ence between the manner .In which ' the distant Islanders are governed and Connecticut is governed? If the Phil ippines need a governor President Itoosevelt or the president in power finds one. ' If Connecticut wants a governor the republican machine meets In secret and decides upon him. No attempt is made to ascertain the desire of the people. Two years ago no one outside of the republican ma chine ever thought of Mr. Lllley of Waterbury for governor. He had been genial, a good mixer and a hospitable host at the national capital. But he suited the Judgment of the organiza tion. At that point the glorious Aug of freedom stopped and "we are here because we are here." We purpose ly refrain from further discussing Connecticut from the Filipino point of view except to express the hope that after our little brown brothers In the distant Islands have secured their political freedom their big while brothers in Connecticut may fare as well. And then won't we all feel "bully?" A woman's temperament has been entirely changed by the Infusion Into her veins of her husband's blood. She was once morose. Now she is as lively as a kitten. The republican machine should get infused with the Woodruff virus. Sill. VAN Ci.lOM'K'S DKIIATR. j Inutlnctlvely we feel no uncertain i feeling of repuuiiunce that such a mnri I iih Jurum V. yiui C'leiive should cIiiioho to purtii'lputi; ui'tlvely In this or uny ! political I'oiili.jVL'iHy, mi lung us he la president of the Niitlumil AiwoeUillon of iMiiiiul'in'turcrs or u like urKiiiiljsit t Ion. UuhIucxh and laboring men uro undoubtedly greatly concerned Uilx und every yeur In thu resulta of our elec tions, but bushier men's ussoclutlonH and laboring mou'u unions uro ohmi'M tliilly non-jiolltliul und It is not the province of their ulhYlulH, whether they bo Mr. Vun Cleave or Mr. GumpuM, to express polltli'ul opinions and have thorn uncorded inoru than ordinary sU- nlllcance bccuuHe of thu ofllclal station of their author. Such ofTlclula have no right to suppose they uro expressing tlio unanimous opinion of all their class. As officials they should place the situation before the latter und leave them to draw their own coiicHib'oiiu und vote uccordlngly. Mr. Vtvn cleave has Insinuated his belief that Mr. llryun Is not sincere, which may bo churuuturljsod by repub licans and democrats ullku uu quite un fair. Whutovor else may bo said of the host of Falrvlew, this neod not be Bald. Even ut the very tlmo of Its bolt from Uryan und the democratic national par ty last week, tho Baltimore Bun spoke In Iuudablo terms of "the sincerity of Mr. Bryan." It Is not to be supposed that a man who for a third tlmo hus convinced his backers of his superiori ty after two defeats hits the elements of insincerity und It is uncharitable to make such a charge. It may bo, us Mr. Van Cleave has contended, that tho Injunction, tariff and banking planks of the Denver platform assail tho Interests of every man in tho country engaged In any Bort of trade, however sweeping such an assertion may appear. But by what right iMr. Van Cleave assumed tho rolo of spokesman for all those business men, thousands of them not even mem bers of his association, In a personal clash with Mr. Bryan, which, at best, has led into more and more uncertain paths, Is not apparent. When Mr. Gom pcrs assumed to hand over tho labor voto to the; democrats, there was a Btrong feeling, later Justified, that ho had taken too much for granted. -Mr. Van Cleave, wo believe, Is largely right In what ho says, but, as with Mr. Gompors, tho Insinuation follows that he, too, Is taking too much for granted Tho fight Is not between Mr. Van Cleave, or even the National Associa tion of Manufacturers, and Mr. Bryan but between those manufacturers of the country who sec great evils In the D"n ver platform and the democratic party Let others of them be heard from and it Is certain that the effect will be greater with the mass of tho voters than should Mr. Van Cleave continue his present tirades which only bring him notoriety as an Individual. TlE TKMI'KltVMH MOVKMKNT. tin the very day this week that the papers contained the speech of ac ceptance of Presidential Candidate Chafln of the prohibitionist party de livered at the time of his notification, a very significant Interview wns printed by a newspaper. In the pro hibition state of Maine which 'Is of Immediate Interest. "I have seen more men drunk in Maine during the past four wcks than I ever saw In New York ell or Brooklyn In eight weeks," suld a prominent Xew York business man, John Halloran, In an Interview In tho Portland Argus Tuesday evening. "I have visited every la.'ge city In the L'nlted States and must say that I have peep more drunkenness here (In Portland) than In any other city of tho same population In the country. I came to Maine a believer In the prohibitory liquor law, basing my belief on what I had read of the not able manner In which Intemperance had decreased under Its provisions, Hut only last Sunday morning, sitting In thte hotel office, I noticed In the course of an hour more Intoxicated men staggering by than I ever saw at Coney Island on Sunday. If such a state of affairs Is not unusual, and I am told It Is not, I should say a '1 ctnsn law would be better forrall enn cerr.ed. I shall go back to New York wholly opposed to the prohibitory llo.uor law," It may be very well for Candidate Chufin to talk of "the temperance rev olution," In which "we will find a stronger bondage broken (than In '76), a viler slavery manumitted (than In '61) a greater tyranny deposed," but above is an example of the actual working of some of the very prohibi tion laws that he and his party are advocating. Maine's testimony Is duplicated In Worcester und other places where compulsory prohibition Is forced upon an unwilling minority by a reforming mujorlly, One need not ba out of sympathy with the, temper ance movement to argue agulnst Mr. Chafln, We cannot quite agree with him when ho says that during the hint four years the question of prohibition of the liquor traffic has attracted wider attention than till other pulrlle Issues combined, hut we can in u sense agree. With him that "the culm thought arid common sense of tho moral citizen ship havo pronounced a death sent ence upon the liquor traffic." The cause of the prohibition party, It may be believed, Is not the true cause of temperance. Prohibition and temcierance ro not svnnnvmnim. Tho first Implies tf,n law; the latter ths will, Mr. Charm would argue with the eltlwriHhlp of a town until ho liu succeeded In persimdltig the ma jority to his way of thinking. Drink- liu would then bu put under tho ban with till, whether they believed the rlk'ht to drink a itraunul prerogative or i.ot. Thu llnul result would bo Just us in Mumu una Worcester, un mo other liunil, tins work of the truo ad vocates of temperunco will not bo done, until they have perBuudod all to their way of thinking. Then there will be no need of laws and no cuubo fur dlHHutlNfuotlou because of suppos ed personal prorogatlvos tampered with. The liquor problem la truly a gteut problem, as Mr. Chufin says. Though we cuu agree with him In his objects, wo cannot bclluvo It should bo mudu a political Inhuu. It Is an ed ucational problem solely. When tho country hus been educated to tho be lter that It really lu a problem, the problem Itself will have disappeared. After all, thu force of moral suasion und resulting personal conviction Is a (muter than tho law. AX EsTRESlEI) COXTEMIKMIAIIY. All newspapers aro likely to fall into vrror. That cannot be helped In a fallible world, but thero are nevertheless certain things a newspa per can easily uvold. One of them Is out of town correspondence filled with manifestly t manufactured news. In this connection tho esteemed Hart ford Times has a Becond time been Imposed upon. Last tlmo it was through Its Waterbury correspondent. This time It Is through Its New Ha ven' correspondent. Both writers knew when they were writing tpe stuff which the Times prlnta they were writing what is not true. There has been no difficulty on tho part of those, who have any reason to know, learning how the Journal Courier came to print tfie Immense edition containing Mr. Palmer's pat riotic letter. Thero Is no reason that we recognize why those whose only obect In commenting upon the edition Is to attach an unworthy significance to tho fact should be voluntarily in formed. Because an ordinary bust ness transaction, such as has been had In every newspaper office In the country, has been had here is no rea son why the suggestion should bo printed that one Frank Healy of Hartford bartered with us for It. We have an Idea tlfcit Mr. Healy would be the last of all men to deal with the editor of this newspaper, whom he has no reason to like. Because Mr. Palmer, who Is a gen tleman of excellent reputation In New London, felt Impelled to write an In dignant criticism opposing tho nomi nation of Mr, Lllley Is no Justification, for a vulgar suggestion that he la a candidate for second place on a Lake ticket. He said In that, letter that he was not a candidate for office and he has said so since, adding that he had not the pleasure of Mr. Lake's ac quaintance. Nor Is there any excuse whatever for this assertion In the Im aginative letter the Times prints on Its first page: "Colonel Osbnrn and others tried hard to convince him (Horace V. Taft of Watertown) that his duty to his brother lay along the line of warning him how monstrous a pitfall lay In his path to the White house" by not protesting against the nomination of Mr. Lllley, The gen tleman referred to here has not seen Mr. Taft, has made nb attempt to reach him by mall or telephone or In any other' way to communicate with him, On the other hand he has ad vised "others" who are Inclined to en list the younger Taft's assistance hot to do so for good and obvious reasons. The.ie are but sanjple replies to the repeated charge made In the columns of this newspaper t"hat George L, Lll ley of Waterbury should not be nomi nated for governor of Connecticut this year or any other year, a charge based upon a careful study of his public record and subscribed to by hundreds of republicans, We are, however, sorry that any of our con temporaries thinks so poorly of us that It Is willing to lend itself to a campaign of vicious misrepresentation. That hurt. The articles themselves makes us grin. A FATIM PHOULEM. The brutal murder of young Sheehan the other evening and other occur rences of the kind suggest good cause for sober reflection upon a big New England problem. One of the matters t hta paper proposed for consideration at the coming conference of New Eng land governors Is that of tho abandon ed farms. The subject of tho preserv ation of our sectional resources cannot well be considered aside from the kin dred subject of the utilization of what resources wo huvo. Ono of the most valuuljlt but generally undoveloped re sources thut Connecticut ami New Eng land have are thu abandoned farms, They must bo made useful and profte tlvo. The hope has been held by many I that the problem of our abandoned farms cun be agreeably solved by our foreign-born population. Many of our recently made citizens of Italian and other foreign births huve been farm- era across the wafer. When they have j taken hold of Borne of our farms here, ! they have succeeded in making a good profit where even the Ingenuity" and hsrd work of Yankee blood failed yarn ago, There hove been two good reasons for this. During the period since their abandonment, the farm lands have been nblo to recuperate their productive qualities to a great extent. But moru Important than that has been the fact that this second tinny of settlors huvu been willing and ai.ls to' subsist upon a lower ecale of living than our own countrymen, who years ago became disgusted with meugre pro fits, pulled up stakes and, for tho nuxit part, went west. In tho hands of our now citizens, auccensful truck furms huvo been developing In Increasing numbers und radiating at greater und groater distances from our New ling- land cities. The two Italians who have been ac cused of thu revolting killing of young Sheohun huvo been working such a farm. Quo of them has already con fessed to his share lu the killing und, at tho present writing, it seems very certain that they will be convicted of tuking a life. Thu moru detulls uru learned of their case, the moru certain It becomes that these men und their companions huvo been of an unruly class, Indulging in tho vilest pulsions. Had the young girl not obtulned uld by her outcries, It jeems quite probuble that another unmentionable crime would have followed. Tho situation bo comes the more alarming when It Is re flected that tlila occurrence is but a repetition of scores thut huve ended as fatally and of hundreds that have been unrecorded because they have not been futul but which have been even moro loathsome, tipeclllc liutanct-i need not bo mentioned. Our foreign born population cun do a great servleo for thla country of their later choice If they can solve our aban doned und unproductive furm problems for us, but If they are creating little hot-beda of lawlessness about us, they are really doing no more than substi tuting a graver problem for tho one It had been hoped they were solving. Tho farmer must necessarily live an Isolated life. Tho law and order of his community he must largely crcato for himself. There 1 no class moro peaceable and law-loving than tm lAmerlcan-born farmer. Thoso of our farmers that aro not American-born must bo the same or they will become a menace, it Is for the thougntful mong them to see tho w Isdom of such Veasonfnsr and to preach It among their kind much the name as a Chicago ne gro preacher now has started a negro law and order league ue a result of tho Springfield outbreak, In the hopes of quelling tho unruly ncRro clement. Tho better cla.a umong our foreign born farmers may well promulgate a liko sentiment with their brothers. It Is a serious charge when peaccablo neighbors nay of an Italian farm, as In tho Sheehan case: "It ought to be burned. This la a peaceful community out here, but It has got so we are afraid to live In It with euch a place os that around." "Shall the people rule?" asked Mr. Bryan. ''Surely the people shall rule, and I believe they are Inclined to leave the work to the republicans this year," replied Mr. Sherman. We had sus pected It right along. If there was any piece of bunting or kind of decoration, red, white, blue or green, In the city yesterday that was not brought forth and put to good use, It has not been heard from yet. We prophesied that the parade would be a worth-while affair, and It truly was. Where can be found bet ter marchers than the good and loyal sons of Old Erin?

Durham 1 Anll-Mlley, (Mlddletown Hun.) The republican caucus in Durham (Stttruday night, where a deadlock was ut last triumphantly broken and unln stntuted delegates elected to the stuU convention, was u good Illustration of what good fltlnenshlp can do when It decides to Justify itself by works rath er than faith. And this, the first caucus In Middlesex county, the unexpected happened, and the machine wbs down ed right In what it considered Its own country. It U significant that the final regis tration of the caucus was held only the night before. The antl-Lliley men had no opportunity to look over tho lists sad get out their votes properly, but In spite of this t hr y got nut enough to lie the veto during eight llots, and then convincing the scattering votprs that they were out for what was right, won over their support und olectod their delegates. Wood r a IT Delritnles IV nt nought. (Bridgeport Farmer.) Whatever Messrs. Lllley or Lake, or their agents, may do, there Is one can didate for whom delegates will not probably be bought. Ho Is not active ly seeking support, but will accept If nominated. We refer to Governor Woodruff. Ho Is not displaying any of the "uncommon anxiety" so conspic uously found lu his two competitors. His friends are not likely to resort to bribery of delegates. They will not ask the fctato central - committee to either protuct the Woodruff candidacy from bribery or to uncover purehas'J delegates who may default on their harRains. Such a candidacy the repub lican rank and flle may wisely tie up to. It la the one reform candidacy, and Its success would deal a death blow to the machine which has so lonat and so autociatlcallv ruled the party snd deprived the privates of all choice; In the selection of candidates and the construction of platforms. Will It Come Ileref (Waterbury Democrat.) The fight for tho direct nomination of candidates has practically been won, says one writer. The principle has been established In nearly two-thirds of the states. It will be some time be fore all of them will fall Into line, und 'beroro tho details will be fully worked out, und befure the various communities will be adjusted to the new conditions, but with the legislation already on the statute books and pend ing, and thu public sentiment which has been aroused, the movement has gotten a momentum which will carry It to eventful success. Five great states have swung into line this year Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri nnd Wisconsin are committed to the principle. Gov ernor Hughes hns urged It upon the New York legislature, and If elected this yeur will unquestnnably carry It through at the next session, and so we might continue the review of the sit ua'lon. In 1905, twenty-flve states P'issed primary laws, and ench yeur will see a further batch, extending and perfecting the system. And so grows the effort to purify and democratize the electoral machinery of the country. lOXMIfTKTT I.AM IIS.
