The decision of the Supreme Court
Branch in the Race Track Constitutional
amendment case is one of the most as
bounding that has ever been rendered IN
this or any other State. Its first point
determines that, hereafter. in New Jersey
three is a majority of seven. Its second
is that a thing which has been wrong
without correction since 1916 is right now.
The third point. on which only two OF
the Judges agree, is that while the courts
NAV correct the plumbers of the Legis-
lative branch of the government. they
have no jurisdiction over those OF the
Executive branch. From this to an arbi-
trary ~abrogation of any part of the Con-
stifution or of any law by IN executive
act is only one short step. In other
countries the courts are generally valued
as the defenders of the people against the
executive arm, while the Legislative
branch. as representing the people, is con-
sidered to be rather above the courts. But
we live and learn, and one lesson of the
present phenomena is that moral coward
ice is a fearful thing and leads inevitably
toward the downfall of political liberty
The Judgment of this suit is the dead
hest blow that constitutional government
has ever sustained in America.

NORTH JERSEY PLANS.
Fifty New Cars Expected for
the Bayonne and Newark
Lines--Transfer Scheme.

The North Jersey Street Railway Com
pany have ordered fifty new open cars
end their arrival is expected some day
this week. The cars are being made by
Brill & Co., the famous builders of Phila-
dei2hia.
Manager David Young said this morn
ing that each car will have fifteen cross
seats, capable of seating seventy-ive per-
sons the seats will have springs and
will be cene covered. The majority of
the new consignment will be used on the
Newark and New York line, some on the
Fay onne line and the remainder for the
Oranges. They will be painted indian red,
having in gold letters the words North
Jersey on the sides of the car. They will
be supplied with the kind of electrical
lights that, as Mr.. Young said, would be
the newest thing on any trolley road.
Al desire has been expressed by many
people living in hi southern section of
Hudson county that the would
SO arrange that passengers from Bayonne,
Greenville and the Bergen section of Jer-
sey city should be able to go to NeWark
via the Plank Road and be transferred at
the junction of Market and Broad streets,

Broad street to the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western depot and points be-
yond. The Turnpike Road ear, which
runs up Newark avenue. Jersey City,

A Bicycle Incident.

Miss Blanche Walsh is a refined young
woman of great artistic ability. She is
one OF the best actresses now on the New
York stage.
On Sunday evening, she committed the
awful crime of riding a few blocks on a
bicycle in an electric lighted street in New
York.
She was arrested. She was paraded
about a mile. from Fifth avenue and
Thirty-ninth street to Thirtieth street
near Seventh avenue. where the Tender
loin'' police station is situated.
A hooting crowd followed the entire
way.
At the station house, where she was
recognized, she was held for three hours,
awaiting a Formally of giving bail, al
though nobody imagined she had the re-
motest idea of a~bsconding.
This IS a glorious triumph of our free
and equal Institutions.
It shows there is one law for ALL
In the eye of the police, the refined lady
is no better hi the dirty drab; the great
artistic is deserving of no more considera-
fion than the street walker.
It is as bad, too, to violate a bicycle
ordinance as to pick a pocket.
Truly the impartial administration Of
Justice" is a noble feature of New York
life.

HASBROUCK'S MUSICALE.
School Of Music Closes the
Year With an Excellent
Entertainment.

Hasbrouck Institute last evening held its
annual musical at Hasbrolck Hall, Cres-
cent and Harrison avenue. Although the
night was exceptionally warm the hall
was crowded to it's utmost capacity the
audience doing its best to keep cool by
means of fans. The programme was
very interesting, all the selections being
well rendered and many of those who
took part received flowers as a token of
appreciation.
A piano Duet, a march by Goerdeler,
opened the programme. This was SPLEEN

Pauline Glamour. Then followed a
minuet, from Mozart. on two pianos, BY
Misses Betty Chamberlain. Edna Annett,

A "HoWLINc" FAILURE.
Men Set to Work to Patch Up the
Macadam Roadway.

Chief Engineer Charles Van Keuren to-
day started a force of forty men at
work repairing the macadam roadways of
the city. All the macadam roads in the
city were laid about three years ago.
They were tried as an experiment. and UP
to date have proven a bowling failure.
Efforts nave been made to patch them up
from time to time but they have grad
ually grown worse, until now several of
them are dangerous to ride over.
So many complaints have been made
abou the roads that the Street and Water
Commissioners a few days ago decided
to make repairs. The Finance Commits
sloners were consulted. and they agreed
to set aside $4,000 for the. repair of the
roadways. Engineer Van Keuren has
mapped out extensive repairs. and the en-
tire appropriation of $4,000 will be used to
good advantage. The Chief has advised
the Street and Water Board against the
laying Of any more maeadam. AS a
roadway 1t Is useless and expensive to
keep In anything like decent repair.

How Newspapers are victimized.

ly IN New York. because they can save a
dollar or two, although the quality OF the
work Is not as good as ours. Then these
same people come and ask US Tor Tree

complaint seems reasonable. Persons ap-
pealing to local aid surely should spend
their money at home so far as possible.
We do not know who made the com
plant to the Tribune" but it is certain
that every publisher of a newspaper in
Hudson county can endorse it. What is
more, there are people in Hudson who will
solicit gratuitous notice in a newspaper
for an entertainment n who will then
pay newsdealers to insert a circular be-
tween the leaves of every copy of that
newspaper that he sells or delivers, thus
deliberately stealing all the advantage
that they cannot get by begging, and

The Legislature will be asked to estab-
fish a penalty for this form of larceny

HAZEL KIRKE ExcELLERTLY RENDERED

The reproduction of the drama,
sHazel Kirke," by ST. Michael's players
at ST. Michaers Hall, was enjoyed by an
audience that about half filled the hall.
The heat prevented many from attending
the performance who desired to do 50.
Father Faretti said yesterday that he was
half sorry that it had been decided to re-
peat the performance during the heated
spell.
The members of the cast, however,
played with as much enthusiasm as
though the hall was crowded or packed as
it was at the performances last week.
This means that the play was as nearby
perfectly presented as it is possible for
amateurs to do. Every member of the
cast has made a distinctive hit and their
friends are proud of them.

thus
a mistake to be a West Pointer. The
Secretary of War has made this plain:
West Pointers a acquired the habit OF

endured the tortures of the Black Hole
of Calcutta, while Miles and the other
old women who are running this war
made up their minds win be enter

brush with us in the future.
1t is really a national disaster that this
war is too easy. 1t gives the political

THE geographical lore of the Evening
World is simply paralyzing. This was
in an alleged Washington despatch in
yesterdays edition.
The Canaries face three ways-toward
the Philippines by way of the Suez Canal,
Porto Rico and Cuba to the southwest,
or the New England and Middle Atlantic
coast just across the islands.
Just look at the map and have a laugh
with us at the idea of ships sailing from
Cadiz for the Philippines via the Suez
Canal and making their first stop at the
blue Canaries!
ONE day last week the Tribune took
up the subject of the Harrison and
Kearny Boulevard Branch. showing a
good deal of wisdom in its appraisal of
the situation. "By blocking the Boule-'
yard PLAN" it said, "the statesmen OF
East Hudson are playing into the hands
of the annexationists." This is the stu
alton in a nutshell. If this branch road
were well under way by the opening OF
the next session of the Legislature, it
would hardly be possible to dig up the
Essex county robbery project. But If the
work is not even undertaken, the neglect
of it will be an overwhelming argument
in the hands of those who are resolved
to despoil Hudson of its western town
ships,
