DISGRACE FOR THE LEGISLATURES

Ne matter how creditable the record
of the present Legislature may be 9th
crwise, it cannot escape some degree
Of disgrace if it adjourn without hay
ing given the anti-pigeon shooting bill
a fair hearing, The fact that the bill
has been held up by the fish and game
committee Of the house is of small inn
portance. If the majority leaders
wished to have it done, the bill would
be trotted out without delay.
Governor Murphy has received thou
sands of appeals from persons in all
parts of the State who are opposed to
the cruel sport Of liye-pigeon shooting,
invoking his support of the measure.
The members of the Legislature are
aware of this fact and they know also
that compared with the great number
Of persons who have thus interested
themselves, the number of men who
actually engage in the So-called sport
is quite small.
Apart entirely from the merits of
the question at issue is the fact that
there is widespread demand for the
passage OF the bill. Legislators are
sometimes inclined to become Self-suf-
Gent when they find themselves in
the State Capitol, forgetting that they
were sent there as servants Of the peo-
pie. If some of those now in Trenton
were to allow their minds to revert to
this ancient truth they might expert
ence a Slight quickening of conscience.
In short, the Legislature has no pos
Sible right to smother a bill i'm COM
mittee that the public are widely in
terested in. Such measure should
be given fair hearing, the views Of
the peoples representative heard and
their votes made a matter of record.
The treatment accorded the anti
pigeon shooting bill is up to the pres
ent time thoroughly disgraceful to the
New Jersey lawmakers.

"This discussion of chairman so long in

been mentioned for the position. 1t is, per
haps justified in part by the fact that Pres

last theory, that Hearst's newspaper
advisers set the presidential bee buzz
ing in his bonnet. He has made it
possible for many clever and adroit
ink-slingers to draw big salaries, and,
perhaps, many of these have not hesi-
tated to insinuate to their chief that
he is the predestined savior of the en-
shaved laboring classes, the heaven-sent
David to Stay the giant Plutocrat, the
Incompatible 1t of enlightened states
manship. If he is the sort of man to
be so worked upon, what fine figure
he would cut as our chief magistrate.
On the other hand, supposing that
Hearst does not take himself and his
candidacy seriously, what is he gaining
by his present tactics? Advertising
for his papers? 1t is hard to reconcile
such an idea with the reports of the
large amounts of money that are flow
ing from the Hearst Golfers to cam
paign agents in various sections of the
country. Advertising pays, it is true,
but what object can Hearst accomplish
that is worth while, other than actu-
ally securing the Democratic nomina-
tion, by making the tremendous out
lay of money he is reported to be doing?
1t must be concluded that Hearst
really wants to be president of the
United States. Then, shades of George
Washington, Andrew Jackson, y bra
ham Lincoln and William Mckinley,
what a joke it is Can it be honestly
denied that he is the most grotesque
political thing of the twentieth cen
fury?

VOTING MACHINE THAT DID
STUNTS In WASHINGTON.

All sorts of complications may fol-
low the fiasco that attended the use of
a voting machine in the municipal
election at Washington, Warren
County, Tuesday. A new election
may be called because the machine
showed the total vote cast was 739
whereas the poll book only showed a
total vote of 401. 1t is asserted the
company which installed the machine,
and which hoped it's efficiency would
be demonstrated conclusiyely, will
take legal action against certain
prominent politicians for throwing
the machine out of gear.
After the election, when the cleo
ton board opened the machine to ascer-
tain the state of the vote, the mem
bers almost fell to the floor when they
discovered the amazing sitution. The
machine showed that Snyder, the in
dependent candidate for Councilman,
had received $40 votes, his running
mate, Burd, 1863, and Gulick and Croft,
their opponents, 1863 and $40 votes
respectively.
Knowing there were only 401 quail
fed voters and that the poll had not
been full one, the total showing of
739 votes put all the politicians in the
air.

HEARST ANALYZED.

There is 50 much intrinsic absurdity
in the Hearst presidential proposition
that it ought to be denied any serious
consideration. One phase of it, how
ever, might be approached in the spirit
of philosophic speculation and that is,
Does Hearst take himself seriously or
not +?
If he takes himself seriously in his
presidential boom, either inherent stu
pidity his success in yellow journal
ism or the influence of an army of syc-
ophantic employees is to account for it..
On the first hypothesis, some would
argue that man is an ass to take him
self seriously at any time or in any
event, Certainly if Hearst really be-
lleves that he the champion of the
common people, as his high-priced ed
itorial writers proclaim him to be, we
must dismiss his case at once as spring
ing from causes that he will never out
grow. The man who thinks he is ele-
waiting the masses by serving them up
such slush as Hearst does, is pretty
nearly hopeless, by that fact alone.
Nor does Hearst seem to be much
better off, if his aspirations to the
presidency arise from his success in his
peculiar field of journalism. His pa
pers are made up of mixture of
cheap and dangerous sensationalism,
irreverence and anarchy. Because he
finds it possible and profitable to feed
thousands OF people on such daily
mental diet, does he imagine that he
has the sympathy and support of the
intelligent masses Of which this nation
is largely compOsedS

NOT AN Easy TASK.

Fixing the fire limits of MorrlstoWn
is rather nice question. To do jus
tice to every one concerned is not the
easiest thing in the world.
1t seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion that the boundaries suggested at
the last council meeting are too ex-
tensiye. Speaking of the plan one of
the committee said that the future as
well as the present had been taken
into consideration. 1t is proper that
this should be the case, but how far
into the future to look is a point Of
much Importance.
In determining this, it should not
be forgotten that at any time in the
future the limits can be extended by
ordinance. Then if the past is taken
as a guide, it may be fairly accurately
estimated what the future growth of
the business portion OF the city will
be for given period.
In any case, the council is doing the
right thing in fixing the limits def
nitely by streets The liberty pole
may be an excellent thing in various
ways, but it has hardly anything to
do with determining the direction fol-
lowed by activity in building.

THE TEN EMENr HOUSE BILL.

Morristown and every other munich
palty in New Jersey having any local
pride or public spirit should be pleas
ed with the unanimous approval given
the tenement house bill in the assem-
bly, The bill provides for the regula-
tion of tenement houses throughout
the State placing them under the
supervision of State board. If the
bill become a law, it will mean the
biggest housekeeping the State ever
experienced.
1t might be supposed that small
place like Morristown need have no
fear of the tenement house evil. The
report of the tenement house commits
sion, however, shows that the evil
exists in many towns and cities small
er than this. And if oyercrowding
lack of ventilation, unsanitary plumb
ing, and other common tenement
house abuses should be wiped out any
where, it is in the smaller municipali-
ties where the building area is not
limited as it is in large cities and
where light and air should not be at a
premium.

FROM THE STATE PRESS,
To Benefit Counties.

Assemblyman Hillery's bill, pro-
viding that taxes collected under the
collateral Inheritance act Of 1894 shall
be returned to the county in which
the decedent's property is located,
after the State treasurer has deducted
the fees allowed by law for collecting
the same, is in accord with a mani
fest general tendency to take taxes
away from the State and give them
to the counties. This will, if adopted
to large extent, ultimately result in
State tax Whether the latter
would be advantageous or not is open
to discussion, but Governor Murphy
is already on record as suggesting
that it would not be such bad thing
as many imagine.
The Hillery bill brings to mind the
fact that last year the State collected
about $780, 900 from collateral inheri-
tances, for which it had no particular
use. Had this amount been parti-
toned to the counties in which the
taxed properties were located they
would have received from $4,000 to
$4,000 each; sums that would have
materially reduced the local taxes.
In former years some of the indiyi-
dual counties, Morris for example,
paid S55, 900 to the State under the
collateral inheritance tax law, and
received no benefit whatever

Editor Lawrence, of the Paterson
Guardian, does both himself and Mr.
Charles j. Allen an injustice by refer
ring to the latter as a lobbyist, as he
did in his paper this week. Mr.. Allen
has the confidence of the leading pub
lie men of the State to an extent
that perhaps no other Trenton CORE
spendent enjoys. His integrity and
Understanding have been established
through years of service. AS secre-
tary of the Tenement House Commits
sion and the writer of its report, and
by reason of his constant presence in
Trenton during the session, Mr.. Allen
was naturally in position to explain
the merits of the tenement house bill
to the members of the Legislature
1t was also his right as citizen and
national guardsman to be heard at
the hearing of the military bill.
That he should have done so gives
Editor Lawrence small ground for his
aspersion and is likewise an injustice
to that editors well-known sense OF
fairness.

"NO TRUE SPORTSMAN
WILL SHOOT LIVE PIGEONS. >

Two letters that show what out
siders think Of the New Jersey sport
of shooting live pigeons are printed
below. Both were addressed to a
resident of Morristown:
DEAR SIR--Both from humane
point of view and from that of resi-
dent of New Jersey, ] wish you every
success in your effort to secure the
passage of bill which will prevent
live bird trap shooting in your State.
No true sportsman would encourage
this eminently unfair So-called test Of
skill. Humane considerations would
assuredly prompt us to abolish this
practice, and the knowledge of the
fact that this kind of bird killing is
prohibited in New York State should
certainly stimulate the residents of
New Jersey to pass a law equally as
effective as the one existing in their
sister state.
Very truly yours
