Whiskey keeps getting a black eye and
some of these days it will get knocked
out. The Big Four system OF railroads
has lust issued an order that no man
can drink liquor on or off duty and hold
a job with the company. This is prohit-
ition that counts and is worth all the
others combined in the way of force
put" A number of the larger roads have
Icing had an order that no man shall drink
while on duty. This has had a wonderful
effect, but it left gap down. With the
ultimatum of the Big -Four, however,
the gate is closcd.-Greensboro Record.

It is not unreasonable to expect
strict observance of the letter and
spirit of the resolutions introduced
by Mr.. Hurtzig at the last meeting
of the Board of Aldermen, which
provides that taxpayers who fail to
pay their assessments by December
goth, shall be charged legal interest
for the time the tax remains un-
paid. For reasons which have not
been shouted from l1ousetops, the
collectors have not been III the
habit of charging the additional per
centage and thousands of dollars
which should have been at the dis
posal of the town annually on the
goth of December is held III the
pockets of property owners until
the last moment it may be legally
held by them. The system is a
bad one. The law recognizes this
and provides for the interest
charges, but the collectors have
been in the habit of ignoring the
provisions, the consequence being
that the town has had to issue notes
with which to pay its running eX
penses, and pay interest OH these
notes In many parts Of this state
twelve per cent is charged and
collected, though it has been held
by the courts that this is usurious
and illegal In many towns in New
York state the town collector is
elected, not appointed. His COM
pensation is per centage of the
amounts collected Before Deem
Der 20, he gets one per cent as his
commission After that date five
per cent is charged. That system
works we'll and there are but few
delinquent taxpayers when the five
per cent period enters. A revision
of the tax laws would be of some
benefit, apparently. AT any rate it
is duty which the collector owes
to the town to make the additional
charge as directed by the Board last
week.

THE STRIKE
STILL "ON'
About Five Hundred Men Of
This City are now With
out Employment.
NO PROSPECTS OF EARLY END

AS fOretOld in THE CHRONICLE last
week the local painters of this city
have gone on a strike. Nearly two
hundred of them refused to go to work
last Monday morning at the same rate
of wages they have been receiving.
They asked an increase of so cents
per day, making their wages $500 a
day This the bosses declare they will
not pay, but it is reported that one of
the. employers has acceded to the de-
mandj and has now about forty men
employed.
The condition between the striking
carpenters and bod carriers remains
the same. There is no prospect Of
either side giving in, and building all
over town has been suspended. There is
no disorder in town, but business men
generally are suffering a noticeable
loss of cash business. The men of all
trades now out, number somewhere in
the neighborhood of five hundred and
their aggregate pay was, before the
strike, something like thousand dol
lars a day. Naturally this has been
withdrawn from circulation; building
has been practically at stand still
and the strike is doing much dam
age to the town.
Early in the week the employers is
sued a statement in which they recited
practicallythe same things told in last
weeks CHRONICLE, but added that
they had offered to leave the settle
ment of the matter to three men; one
selected by the strikers, another by
the employers and these two to select
a third. The statement AYERS that
the dissatisfied workmen refused this.

There are couple of commun-
tiles in this county which are now
in the throes of newspaper war.
In these places editors are belittling
themselves and rejecting unjust
criticisms upon the profession of
Journalism lifes work which
should be particularly clear of I'M
dignifed, thoughtless and incon-
siderate abuse. Especially clean
should newspaper men be in the
courteous treatment of each other.
Intelligent, successful journalism in
times like these does not demand
that men who are entrusted with
the destinies of newspaper in any
community, should rush about with
a chip on their shoulder, daring a
member of the same profession to
knock it off. An editor may enter
into a fight for a cause which he
believes to be right; but dignified
argument, sustained by facts, will
do more to accomplish his object
than all the abuse which an ingen-
ious mind is able to manufacture
A newspaper must walk upright in
the community. To a greater de-
gree than that of any other pro-
fession with the possible exception
of the minister's should an editor S
work be marked by careful honest,
intelligent courtesy This because
the result of his labor is open to the
inspection of greater number of
people and a bad example receives
greater advertisement, and conse-
quently is liable to do greater dam
age than the slip Of ia private citizen.
Besides all this to thrive a news
paper must have and retain the
respect of the public. 1t cannot dc
this when its columns are filled
with manifestations of petty spite.

powers, which created the tribunal,
are strangely reluctant to make any
use of it. The only case sent to
The Hague so far has been that
over the Pious fund between Mex
leo and the United States.
The Germans, particularly, hes
itate to take before The Hague
court any question which would in
vite that tribunal to pass upon the
validity of their present claims
against Venezuela. Germany has
been rather mysterious about the
claims all along She has wanted
TO collect them by force without
making them public. Now she
seeks to collect them by agreement
in the same furtive fashion
1t is believed at Washington that
the Berlin government is delaying
the agreement with Mr. Bowen in
the hope of being able to settle its
claims out of court by a lump cash
payment. Its insistence upon this
tends to confirm the general belief
that some of the claims are of a
nature that will not bear the light
of publicity Perhaps Mr.. Bowen
will be in position later to bear tes-
timony upon this point.

AN EASTER FESTIVAL.

Originality of Designs and Modifica-
tion of Paris Models at Hahne's-
Again the Newark shop, Hahne & Co.'s,
of Broad street, Is too big to be missed
And the occasion, an Easter festival The
great court. the largest IN the country, SO
light and CHEEKY, is given up to an Easter
decorative scheme at once unique and
elaborate.
A beautiful electric fountain, with its
changing lights and banked palms; a
simple floral bower, from which depend
golden cages containing the most delight
full of song birde; thousands of Ascension
lilies and palms completely filling the
esculator-well, these are some of the
features of decoration; and, viewed from
the fourth floor, it impresses one as a
beautiful great garden, far removed from
anything commercials breath of nature,
SO to speak.
Participating with wonderful potency
in this Easter celebration are gown, suit
and hat, proclaiming not only the luxury
of the 1903 apparel. but the originality, the
creative genius and the adaptability of the
Hahne & Co people.

connection with the scandal arising
from the robbing of Grace Episcopal
Church, Newark, and the subsequent

In the re-appointment of Henry
c. Pitney, of Morristown, to the
Vice CHARACTERISTIC, Chancellor
Magic reflected as much credit upon
his own astuteness as he did upon
the department of law under his
control The appointment was
happy and pleasing in that it was
the very best that could have been
made. The Vice Chancellor is
an able lawyer, whose mind has
been trained to the rapid grasping
of the legal points of an argument.
He is master of all branches of legal
lore liable to come within his juris-
diction and is strictly just and inn
partial. He has been practicing
law more than fifty years and has
kept pace with if not in advance of
the times during that period. His
decisions are prompt, his expires
sions sometimes gruff, but the
lawyers of the section know him
for kind hearted Justice, who
under brusque manner will show
them every courtesy. Particularly
kindly has he been to young law
yers, and many of them have APP
plauded vehemently his remaining
to the Vice CHARACTERISTIC He is
eminent in his profession, popular
in his social and professional sphere
and rich in the esteem of all who
know him.

The only change i'll the strike
situation from conditions told in
The Chronicle of last week is the
addition of the painters to the list
of laborers who demand an increase
in wages. 1t is hoped by the bust
ness men of the town that the en-
ployers and employees may get to-
gether early next week and effect
all adjustment of their differences.
Both sides realize the seriousness OF
the situation confronting them and
each seems to be determined not to
recede from the position taken be-
fore the strike was officially de-
clared TIE men are refraining
from all manifestations of violence,
either in language or acts, and are
quietly pursuing their way. The
wisdom of this course is being
demonstrated by the increasing
number of their sympathizers The
real seriousness of the situation
seems to lie in the fact that there is
a logged determination on the part
of both sides not to recede from
their original stand. Naturally the
longer this continues, the greater
will be the financial distress arising
from the situation. There is great
danger to the community in this
condition, which, if prolonged will
work permanent injury to business
interests. Should not the Board of
Trade, or some organization Of
business men, interests themselves
sufficiently to at least attempt a
clearing up of the situation
