By ITS decision on the constitutionalty
OF the law prohibiting the shooting of live
pigeons for sport, the Supreme Court af-
firmed the action of the Burlington county
courts whereby two members of the River
ton Gun Club were adjudged guilty of
violating the law. 1t takes ten days from
the rendering of the decision by the high
er court, before any action can be taken
below, and at the expiration of that time
the defendants will be called for sentence,
unless they appeal to the Court of Errors,
which will probably be their course. In
that event the appeal would act as stay
and nothing further would be done until
after argument had been heard and a
decision rendered. The only advantage
that can follow such appeal would seem to
be delay, as there is very little doubt that
the decision of the Supreme Court will
stand. The case was thoroughly discuss
ed and every argument and idea that
would in any way affect the result were
put forth. The Court went further than
to pass upon the constitutionality of the
particular act before it and gave an opin-
ION upon the general subject of cruelty to
animals and declared that no man has the
right to torture his own property for
amusement or any other reason The
general opinion is that the passage of the
act to abolish shooting matches was one
OF the best ever put upon the statute books
and it is to be hoped that all attempts to
have it set aside will be fruitless

AUTOMOBILE scorching is becoming
dangerous affair and unless some steps
are taken to control it there will be an up
rising among the people who use the high
ways and streets and if laws cannot be
enacted that will protect life other meas
ures will be resorted to. There is lust
reason for complaint as it is fast becoming
unsafe to venture out on the roads with
any idea of safety. The drivers of auto
mobiles, as class, regard those with
horses aud carriages as trespassers. Last
week gentleman from this county was
driving in Mercer county. Coming to-
wards him were two automobiles abreast
while in the centre directly behind them
was third machine. There was but one
thing for him to do and that was to get
out and hold his horse. The automobiles
went past him like streak but not so
fast that he failed to catch the volley of
oaths that were directed at him because
he happened to be where he had a perfect
right to be. The law prescribing the rate
OF speed to be twenty miles an hour is
laughing stock among the drivers of ma
chimes. They make their boasts of the
higher rate attained. Judge Dixon re
Gently made some remarks on this subject
which are worth reproduction. He said:
1 think it comes within the observation
of everybody that these vehicles are
abusing the privileges of the highways
The operators are not managing their We
hicles with due regard for the rights of
other people. We all have right to the
highway in our vehicles and on foot, Just
the same as we did before these machines
came upon the roads. Everybody who
uses the highway SO as to endanger the
people in the common use of it is guilty
of creating common nuisance. 1t is not
a question of municipal ordinance it is
the law of the state. 1t does not depend
on statute; it is a common law, which
we inherit from our ancestors. Every
body who so conducts himself as to en-.
danger persons who are in the exercise of
the common right is guilty of creating a
common nuisance and should be indicted
for the same"

II may safely be asserted that if the
sense of the people of New Jersey could
be taken in popular vote it would be
found to be Overwhelmingly in favor of a
liberal policy by the State providing for
the educational and training needs of the
negro
The colored population of New Jersey
is increasing, although the opportunities
for remunerative employment are few.
1t is also remarked that the percentage of
crime and vice and immortality among the
negroes in the State is on the increase.
A significant sign is the large proportion
OF negroes in the State Prison. In the
cities there is noticeable increase of the
negro hoodlum class. All this has cause,
which exists in the ban placed upon the
negro in all the best paying employments
OF life, and in the neglect of the welfare
of the negro by the State, which permits
the grossest Determinations against him in
the battle of life, and does nothing to up
lift him
At Bordentown, a Normal Industrial
and Training School is conducted by the
State on small scale at a cost of sc, 900
per annum. The institution is lust bic
enough to permit the State to say that it
does afford some assistance to the training
of the negro, and it is yet not enough of
an institution to do any appreciate
amount of good. The State expends as
much annually on bunco State board of
white sinecurists who do absolutely moth
ing but draw their official salaries.
A well-established institute for colored
youth in place of the feeble experiment at
Bordentown would make for the mora
good of the State and condace to the vel
fare of thousands of the population. 1t
would represent real economy in making
useful citizens of those who may other
wise drift into crime or vagraucy. The
mere existence of such an institution
would give a new status to the negro, and
new hopes and aspirations. We believe,
indeed, that the neglect that has charac-
terized the treatment.of the negro popu-
lation by the State has been due more to
thoughtlessness on the subject than to in
disposition, and that the advocacy Of
proper educational and training facilities
needs only direction and leadership to &C
complish its purpose
1t is proper also that representative
colored men should take the initiative
"The Lord helps those who help them
selves. The men who recently waited
on the Governor with an appeal for the
enlargement of the appropriation for the
Bordentown school should organize a
movement for the purpose They will
command plenty of help from clergymen,
educators and others, and we can bespeak
the support of the united press of the
State in their undertaking -Neoark Id
gertiSer.

AT the rate of speed at which automo-
biles run it is impossible to catch a
glimpse at their numbers in order to iden-
tify the owners. Why would it not be a
good idea to arrest drivers who tell of the
great rate at which they rum In city
newspaper on Saturday there was an item
telling how young man had made the
distance from Riverton to Moorestown-
five miles-in seven minutes. That would
mean twenty miles in twenty weight min
utes. If he confesses to such rate why
not have him punished on his own admis-
sion Of having broken the law of the
state?
