A CORRESPONDENT Of the "Trib-
une" corrects misstatement in re-
gard to the presidency Of the State
Hospital at Morris Plains. Referring
to the communication it says:
!" 1t represents Mr.. Richard A. Nc
Curdy as having a desire to be elected
president of the great State Hospital
for the Insane, at Morris Plains, and
having yielded his ambition because
he learned that Mr.. Eisele desired the
place. This is very ludicrous view
of the facts.
1t is true that at the death of Tho
late Mr.. Farrelly, who had given {
large part Of his time to the admins
tration of the hospital, it was suggest
ed by some OF the citizens deeply in
tereSted in the institution that Mr.
McCurdy, as an expert and able ad
miniStratOr, might be induced to &C
cept the presidency, but it was wei
known to his friends, and, indeed, Il
anybody who reflected for moment
that he never entertained the notion
! himself and could not possibly do so
being engrossed in the great interest
which are so dependent upon him il
New York. His only possible desir
4 in the matter was to secure a thor
oughly competent administration o
the hospital, and it is believed tina
this has been obtained in Mr.. Eisele
the new president of the board.

THE percentage OF public school
teachers who drop out of the work is
something like forty per cent. year,
due largely to the fact that so many
of the female teachers marry and
under the rules of most school boards
that step is equivalent to resigna-
tion. In New York state the matter
has been carried into the courts and
decided that teacher has Alright to
marryif she desires and has the OPP
portunity and still retain her position,
The New York City Board of Educa-
tion has amended its bylaw in this
respect and teachers are no longer dis
missed for the heinous offence Of mat
rimony. In some Of the towns of this
state it has been decided that teachers
must not Of necessity give up their po-
sitions because theymarry This opens
another opportunity for men to secure
livelihood marry a school teacher

THE Camden /" Courier says in re.
gard to District Attorney Vreeland's
candidacy for the vacancy on the
United States District Court bench
for New Jersey, to succeed the late
Judge kirkpatrick, that the names OF
United States District Attorney John
B. Vreeland, Congressman Lanning
and Judge Joseph "a. Gaskill are men
toned, and others will no doubt ap-
pear later. lit is not likely that Mr..
Lanning would be willing to cut short
his Congressional career upon its
threshold, for he seems to be ambi-
tious in that sphere and he has the
ability to forge to the front among
the national lawmakers. District At
torney Vreeland admits he is a can
didate for the vacancy, and it is said
will have the support of Senator Kean.
4 precedent n his favor was estab.
lished recently in the Eastern District
Of Pennsylvania, when United States

NOTED to the bench. =

THE farmer, after all, is the main
stay Of the country. Enormous as is
our industrial development and SUI
premacy, agriculture still maintains
its place as the lea Ter, the basis Of our
national prosperity. To the produc-
tion and expectation Of American
agricultural products is due our great
balance Of trade. The annual report
Of Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture shows that the
increase in exports Of farm products in
the half century ending 1901 was $50
per cent, the total for 1908 being $751;
100000 During the last fourteen
years the balance of trade in favor Of
farm products has aggregated 81, sO6,.
5000, while on all other products 1t
was against lis to the extent Of $685.
100000. The farmers, therefore, not
only cancelled this big obligation, but
place the enormous sum of So, 94O, 0OO.-
600 to the credit OF the United States,
IL the books Of international trade
we're balanced.

THE Hearst boom in New Jersey
seems to have completely collapsed, OF
as the revenue has been cut off it would
be more proper to say has been starved
out. At the boiling convention at
Trenton it was resolved to appoint a
committee of ten to draw up protest
and submit it to the Democrats of the
State and also to make contests at st.
Louis in favor of the Congressional
districts in which Hearst delegates
claim to have been elected. Nothing
whatever has been done in the matter
and there is no indications that there
will he. There is no Hearst money in
sight, consequently there is no Hearst
work being done.

WHAT is good sense as we'll as good
law is set forth in charge to the
Grand Jury of Union county by JUS
tice VanSyckel, last week, when, in
directing attention Of the jury to an
anonymous communication in an
Elizabeth paper, charging that the
saloons we're allowed to remain wide
open on Sunday, Justice Van Syckel
said that the editor of the paper
might be summoned before the grand
jury and compelled to reveal the iden-
tify Of the writer. 1.-THE editor of the
paper should know who the writer is
before he paraded such statement in
a public newspaper" he said. And
editors of well-conducted newspapers
do not publish such communications
unless they do know the authors. The
same rule should apply to any person
who makes public charges of law
breaking.

Our Of the mass Of rumors and de-
malls about Senator Hanna's successor
as chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee there is just nefact
that can be depended upon that Pres
ident Roosevelt and his advisers are
endeavoring to perfect an organization
that will not make the National chair
manship the burden of life time for
the incumbent. In other words, the
President and his counselors want an
executive committee so strong in its
membership, with advisory commit
tees cooperating in various centers
that the chairman will be relieved 81
much Of the anxiety, and nearly all o.
the work, which Mr.. Hanna, for in
stance, undertook. The conferences
held at the White House last week hac
this object in view.

JUSTICE PrrNEY rs RIGHT.

Many columns Of space have been
consumed in New Jersey and New
York newspapers during the past
month criticising Justice Mahlon
Pitney for his remarks to a juror called
| in one of the recent murder cases,
when the man insisted that his scrup-
les against capital punishment would
not permit him to give a verdict
against the accused no matter what
the evidence might be.
Justice Pitney was misquoted, and
upon this misquotation all the adverse
comments are based. Justice Pitney's
idea is that the duty a citizen owes to
the state should outweigh all personal
considerations. The jury system in
wolves this idea.
No matter what the citizen private
views may be, they should not be per-
mitted to interfere with the admins
tration of justice as PRESCRIBED by the
law OF the land. If every individ-
ual could come into court and have
his ideas prevail there would be no
justice, for it would be very easy
matter to Illustrate the law in every
criminal case.
On the same principle the National
Guardsman might refuse to obey a
command to fire upon a riotous mob
that was numbering and destroying
property; and policeman might
object to using his revolver under
similar conditions. There is no limit
to the illustrations.
The duty a citizens owes to the state
is paramount to any and all individual
views and considerations. Obliterate
this proposition and anarchy ensues.
The laws are made for the benefit Of
all-not Of one or few; they must be
obeyed by all-no by one or a few.
The law imposes the responsibility of
jury duty upon all citizens except
those exempt for specified reasons.
To obey the law, and assist in enfor-
cling the law, is and always must be
the most important duty of the cit
izen.
Justice Pitney was absolutely, UNI
qualiiedly right. Hackensack Rep

rHE LEGISLATURE COMPLETELY
INDICATED.

When the regular session of the
Legislature closed the Democratic
newspapers generally, and some which
pretend to be fair and independent
made glaring charges against the Sen
ators and members, alleging that they
had been at the beck and call of cor.
porations and their lobbyists, and had
passed every bill asked for by corpora
tions and refused to pass those asked
for by the people.
These statements were so conspic-
uously untrue that the Evening Jour
nal denied them and stated that there
had not been a session in long time
which turned down corporation bills
so quickly or that had passed so few
relating to corporations.
The laws were finished last week,
therefore it is within anybody's power
to verify the statement made by the
Evening Journal, and in order that the
people may know how far the Legisla-
ture was maligned it is well worth
while to read the statutes if for nc
other reason.
There are 250 chapters in the law
of 1904, and only IL of these relate to
corporations. These are:
Oh ap tel 81 Allowing insurance
companies to lend money on securities
they may legally purchase for invest
ment.
Chapter Providing for retalia-
ton on foreign insurance companies
doing business in this State when
their home States pass laws adverse to
New Jersey companies.
Chapter 102 The annual act allow
ing more time to complete railway
building.
Chapter 1906 To refund $4,000 de-
posted by railway company in 1883
for road that was never built.
Chapter 143 Prohibiting directors
from declaring dividends except from
surplus or profits.
Chapter 147 Allowing State banks
to liquidate voluntarily.
Chapter 173 Authorizing turnpike
companies to build trolley lines. The
Hackensack Turnpike case.
Chapter 176 Repeating forty-two
obsolete railroad laws to conform to
last years revision.
Chapter TT The anti-ticket scalper
act.
Chapter 22l Providing a new form
| for registering corporations in the
Secretary of States office.
Chapter 243 Enabling street rail
way companies organized under special
laws to accept the general street rail-
way act.
These are Incorporation laws, ano
with the exception perhaps of the
sealpers act, which is possibly uncon
Istitutional, the laws seem wise anG
proper enough. Certainly there /,
nothing to warrant the outrageous
charges which were made against thu
Legislature
/ Wholesale attacks upon a legislatiy,
body are apt TO give the unthinkins
an impression that there was some
thing radically wrong about the bod
or a majority of its members, and few
take the trouble to look at the fact
| to see whether there was any founda
4 tion for the attacks. In the case o
the Legislature the only real test is il
statutes. They are the record, ant
they contradict the ISLANDERS and libel
completely.

AN exchange says: President
Roosevelt wants a plain, direct, ex-

the bush; no ambiguity, no mere
phrases He wants it to say what it
means and to mean what it says. That
is Roosevelt's way and it is pretty
good politics, too.
