b er Legislation.

Our State rulers are exceedingly lib
eral in the bestowal of princely salaries
among themselves, but when it comes
to expenditure of public moneys for a
cause that effects all the people, they
atonce become wonderfully economical.
The legislature that has just adjourned
enacted something like three hundred
new laws. Some of them are of gener-
al importance, others affect all cities,
others counties, others townships, 9TH
ers the boroughs, yet the people who
are supposed to know the law, will nev-
er see n of them, unless after feeling
a lawyer. In the State expenditure of
$1,07O, 1913. 90 in 1884, was included the
expense of publishing the laws in one
hundred State newspapers, while in the
expenditure of 1897, 631.0 in 1904,
was not a cent for that purpose. There
is a strong suspicion that there is meth
cd in this secrecy of law making that is
exceedingly expensive to the people in
more ways than one. - Woodbury.
Democrat. 1t is as dangerous nov fol-
the common people to interpret the law
as it was for them to have the scrip
lures four hundred years ago. But
what must be amusing to the legal fra
ternity is the way the newspaper pub.
fishers are duped each year by support
ing such legislators.

Franchise Commission Bill.
Camden Courier.

The delay of the Governor in dispos-
ing of the bill providing for the appoint
ment by him of a committee of five to
investigate and report on the limited
franchise question is causing comment,
some declaring their belief that he is
not in favor of it 1t is not clear why
the Governor should decline to sign the
measure, for it involves no injury or
detriment to the people or the State.
The limited franchise question is among
the foremost in the public mind to-day,
and any effort to suppress it may prove
costly to those who make it. The indi-
cations are, in fact, that the political
campaign of next fall will find it a very
important issue in several localities of
the State, especially in Essex county,
where local civic associations have
made it prominent among the reforms
they advocate. Public opinion is rap
idly drifting toward the limitation of
franchises to corporations controlling
public utilities, and it is a healthful
sign of the growth of community inter-
est that is altogether praise worthy and
desirable. Governor Stokes will no
doubt approve of the measure before
him, and select such a committee as
will be capable of treating the question
fairly as between the few interested in
corporations and the great mass of the
people whose franchises many of the
former abuse. Not to do so would, in
these progressive times, be impolitic,
and the Governor cannot be charged
with doing anything of that sort when
his record as a statesman is remember
ed.

Municipal Ownership.

There is nothing in municipal owner
ship of public utilities which should
arouse alarm. Theoretically, the prin-
ciple is sound, and it is as old as gov
eminent itself. The kings highway
was merely the old form of the railroad,
and those who make city streets could
run vehicles upon them. The city of
Newark has a water plant, and might
as reasonably own it's gas plant, while
electric light and power are easily with
in the range Of municipal management.
New York built its subway and is con-
demning unsanitary tenements, while
Glasgow is building model tenements.
There is no precedent to forbid any
form of public control where the bene-
fits are shared by all. Indeed, the
franchises now granted companies are,
in theory, only a transfer of the public
control to organizations operating for
the public, and the whole system of
special taxes and licenses is a.. recogni-
ton of this fact.-Newark Sunday Call.

No Free Bridges.

The effort Of the New Jersey Legisla-
ture to cooperate with the lawmakers
of Pennsylvania in establishing free
bridges across the Delaware River be-
tween the two states has met with fail
ure. During the session of 1904 Sena-
tor Hutchinson secured the passage of
a bill authorizing the appointment of a
commission to confer with a similar
commission from Pennsylvania in an
effort to get the free bridges. The COM
mission was not appointed, it being
deemed wise to wait until the Pennsy-
lvania authorities took action. Recent
ly the Pennsylvania Senate defeated
the bill, which was similar to that pass
ed by this State, and the plan is off.

4 Monument To FenMick

The movement started by the Woods
town Historical society to raise funds
with which to erect a monument to
John Fenwick, the founder Of the Fen
wick Colony in Salem county, which
was the first English settlement in New
Jersey, is a c~ommendable one and the
efforts should be continued until crown
ed with success. Having been perse-
cuted for his religious faith, that of be-
ing a Friend, he bought West Jersey OF
Lord Berkeley and started to found an
asylum in the new world for his fellow
Quakers who suffered persecution.
William Penn has been heralded in
song and story for the work he did in
Pennsylvania, but John Fenwick was a
pioneer to Penn and arrived seven years
before Penn, whose friend he was.
Fenwick's colony was not SC large as
PENIS nor so successful, as he did not
have the wealth nor influence of Penn,
who was a much younger man, yet it
was done in the same spirit and for the
same purpose. Penn has been COM
mended for buying land of the Indians.
Fenwick bought land of old Necomis,
ALLOWANCES, Mahut and other red men
before Penn arrived.
Fenwick is as worthy of being re-
membered in Salem County, as Penn is
in Pennsylvania, and it is to the peo-
ple's discredit that his memory has not
been held in higher esteem by having a
monument erected to his memory.
But for the occasional historical re-
searches made by succeeding genera
tions and the occasional mention of
Fenwick in the County papers his name
would be entirely forgotten, because
the common histories do not state that
Lord Berkeley sold West Jersey to John
Fenwick. which is a fact, but that he
sold it to VIM. Penn which is not true.
Fenwick was buried in the Sharp
burying ground on the Reeves farm
just below the County Almshouse on
the road from Woodstown to Salem.
The exact location of his grave is not
known, but near enough for a suitable
memorial to be erected neal the place
along a road much travelled.

The United Supreme Court has de-
livered a knockout blow to the labor
unions. The Court, in the case of a
New York law which limited the
working day of employees in bakeries
and confectionery shops to ten hours,
has decided that no State has the right
to place an arbitrary limit on the work
ing day of those engaged in healthful
occupations. This is equivalent to de-
claring unconstitutional in advance the
Eight Hour Labor law which the labor
unions have been beseeching Congress
to enact.

L OF EDUCATION.
Statistics Prove Each Day at School
Worth $40 to Pupil.

10y ~ Sh(O
Worth $40 to Pupil.
Exhaustive statistics establishing the
monetary value of an education are CIV
en- by the Nashville American. Con-
illusions reached are shown in the fol-
lowing paragraph
The average educated man gets a sal
airy of $1,000 a year. He works 40
years, making a total of $40, 900 in a
lifetime. The average laborer gets
81. so a day, 300 days in a year, or $3.50
in a year. In 40 years he earns SIS, 900.
The difference, of $22, 900 equals the
value of an education. To acquire this
earning capacity requires - yrs. at
school of 100 days each, of 2,16O days.
Divide S22, 900, the value of the educa-
ton, by 2,160, number of days requir-
ed in getting it, we find that each day
at school is worth a little more than
$40 to the pupil.
Strong reasons for regular attendance
of pupils at school.

Board of Freeholders to build them a
state road. To do so the county must
