President Is unsafe" who does any,
thing. Safety, in their view. is only
to be found IN inaction. The earth
moves around the sun perpetually. the
solar system IS continually moving,
through all the starry universe no par
ticle of substance is at rest, even for
an instant, except the Democrats.
With them alone the doctrine OF the
conservation Of energy is nullined: with
them the only law is the persistence
OF matter.
Doubtless German considers the En-
gineer Of the Cosmos exceedingly "un-
Safe
But II the Democrats are inert, the
rest Of the nation is awake and alive,
keeping step to the march Of events,
hand IN hand with ever-advancing des-
tiny. The Do-Nothings may sneer and
grumble as much as they please; the
people OF the United States approve the
man who, as their chief executive. Is
ready for emergencies, who does things,
and, thus far. has done wisely. They
approve his acts up TO this time, and
the manifest and indisputable benefits
that have attended those acts give them
perfect confidence that what he will
w az e'' AH'Hi WIN be no ltno Hloes
It Is almost certain, OF course, that
even German does not really believe
that Roosevelt is unsafe" and that his
attitude is merely a political pose II
that be so, he has all the greater need
Of our pity and sympathy. Fancy hav-
ing to keep a straight face while you
are offering your fellow men such an
issue as n reason why they should
make you their President in Roose-
velt's place.

nuRroN,s coNvl.TloN.

A United States Senator sentenced to
six months in prison Is somewhat Of a
shock. but It is Infinitely better than to
feel that there are thieves who because
Of their high positions are immune from
arrest and punishment
Al the disgrace attaches TO the COM
mission Of the crime: In the conviction
and punishment lies all the hope for
the future. The presiding judge in
passing sentence remarked that he
considered the verdict OF the jury Just
and true and that there was nothing to
do under the law but to impose SEN
tenco.
Senator Burton was a lawyer. and
had been elevated TO the United states
Senate. Consequently, by his training
and by all Of the ethics Of his profess
sion and the traditions OF that high
body OF which he is member he had
the fullest inducement TO keep his
hands free from scandal. But like
many men, he regarded his profession
and his Office as creating for him a
personal opportunity-an opportunity
for personal profit at the expense Of
the public service.
But he was caught. and his punish
ment is in proportion to his prominence.
He viii be deprived Of his seat in the
Senate, be denied the right to ever hold
Office again. and as a matter of course,
win be dlsbaTed. But beyond this Is
the disgrace that must ever attach to
his conviction.
But let us not say. as many thought
less persons do. that the Senate is
composed Of such men an Burton. Very
likely it has It's sprinkllng OF criminals,
but there are men on both sides like
Ioar and Bailey who IN return for
their eminent service are content with
the Governments recompenae. And the
people who want criminal senators pun
lshed viii not wish to send to the Sem
ate men who are known IN advance to
be criminals.

A ResIanatIon caIIed For.

From the New York Tribune.
One man has succeeded in disgracing
the state OF New Jersey.
One man has put the State Legisla-
ture IN the attitude OF snubbing fifty
thousand OF the flower Of New Jerseys
citizenship.
One man has made It painfully evi-
dent that the worst enemies OF popu-
lar government are not always to be
found amoung the ignoramuses and IL
literates.
This man Is William Howard Crosby
Jackson, Middlesex county's represen-
tative In the State Senate. Mr.. Jackson
Is young man from whom much was
expected. During the two years OF his
service in the Assembly he acquitted
himself very creditably indeed. He
was intelligent, alert and responsive to
the popular wishes and 80 II came to
pass that there was much satisfaction
when his neighbors promoted him to
the State Senate
Now Senator Jackson has by one act
blasted all the hopes Of those who pre-
dicted for him a continued and ever
broadening career OF public service. To
the Senate Committee OF which he was
chairman was committed the bill pro-
hiblting the sport" Of shooting tame
pigeons from traps. This measure was
backed by the unanimous sentiment OF
the humane people OF New Jersey and
they drove It through the Assembly IN
the teeth OF lobbyists from other States.
Not since the famous race track agi-
tatlon have the men and women with
consciences shown so much interest In
Ia legislative measure. But Senator
Jackson had promised a friend Of his
that he wouldn't let the bill get out
OF his COMMITTEES and he kept that
promise In the face OF appeals, exhor-
tations and warnings. and so the bill
to stop the slaughter OF pigeons failed
to pass and the slaughter viii con-
tinue.
There is but one decent and appro-
priate thing for Mr.. Jackson to do now
and that is to resign his seat I'm the
Senate forthwith. Lest he should have
any doubts on that score. the people OF
Middlesex county ought to help him
with their advice given In plain, though
not necessarily brutal, language; and
thu clergymen Of the county might very
properly take the lead IN that matter.

INVITATION TO TRI.STATE
National Association Wants League to
Join Its Ranks.

Harrisburg, April 7.--At a meeting of
the Tri-State Baseball Association here
yesterday 1t was decided TO permit each
club to employ its own umpire.
An invitation from President Pat
Powers, Of the National Association of
Baseball Leagues, to the Tri- state to
secure its membership in the organiza-
ton was read. but action on It was de-
ferred. President w. c. Farnsworth
was relieved OF the duty of deciding
disputes over players. and all such
Questions viii be submitted to the whole
association TO decide.
Dave Williams. the pitcher claimed
by both Williamsport and Altoona, was
awarded TO the latter club. Harrisburg
withdrew its claim upon the services of
Pitcher Joe Myers, and he was assigned
to Lebanon.
An arrangement was made whereby
the Farnsworth cup, the Tri-State tro-
ply will be exhibited In each Of the
cities repr, scented In the association.

cARELEss AousE NUMBERING.

While the members OF the various
city departments are considering the
things TO be done for the good Of the
city they should not forget the num-
boring Of houses. During the past few
months many complaints have been re-
ceived about the condition Of the street
numbers on shops and dwellings on
some streets the houses are not num-
bered at all and on others there are
two or moro houses In the same block
which have the same number. This Is
an important matter which should be
remedied. AS the result Of the present
lack OF system there is much confusion.
II the houses were numbered properly
il would greatly facilitate the work Of
the postal clerks and letter carriers
Next year will be political year. It
will be very important that a man
when he goes to register or vote gives
his address properly. In some cases
unless this matter OF numbering Is
remedied the voter viii not know the
address Of his home. In case there are
two houses on the same street with the
same number it can readily be seen
what confusion win follow when the
occupants go to the polls to register.
All those who know OF streets where
the houses are not numbered properly
should report the matter to the build
ing inspector. as It Is his business ia
attend to such matters.

crusade against the public bathing at
the resorts along the Atlantic. At
meeting yesterday at Newark there
were more incorporate utterancs than

men in the water "tumbling about like

their FIRST steps by seaside bathing"
