THE generally accepted theory that
life in a rural community is more con
ducive to good morals than life in
towns or cities is not borne ONT by the
experience of Warren county. The
grand jury Of that county in the Sep
TENDER courts found that two-thrds
Of the cases before it were for crimes
of a licentious character and most Vi
the indictments were for crimes
against decency. The grand jury made
the following presentment: "This
Grand Jury has been shocked at the
state Of immortality existing in the
County of Warren and would influence
all good citizens to make every effort
in their power to stamp out vice and
crime. And especially would we call
upon ministers of the gospel and Off
GERS who perform the marriage cere-
mony to exercise great care in the fu-
ture so that epileptics and Others who
are entirely unfit for marriage rela-
tions may not burden the community
with crime and disgrace the fair name
of our county" The injunction to
ministers is timely, and if some of our
good people who are so absorbed in the
mormon and anti-canteen crusades
would look about them they would
find fields Of usefulness right here in
our own State.

AFTER several conferences with the
members of his Cabinet, President
Roosevelt, it is reported, will not ask
for any tariff tinkering in his forth
coming message to Congress- The
reason given for this conclusion is said
80 be the desire of the President TO
give his railroad rate policy free foot
in Congress to make it the para
mouth issue Of the session. There is
no doubt that the revised bill on the
rate question win pass through hAe
House of Representatives with bells
on" but its progress in the Senate
promises to be slow. If a rate bill ever
gets through Congress, and issput into
effect, it will be taken into the caart
OF last resort on a question as to- it's
cOnstitutionality which means its
legality would not be established for
two years at least, and just here is.the
perplexing question, shall the railroad
rates or those fixed by the commission
ers be in operation while the case is
pending.

The first meeting Of the heads Of
the New Jersey penal, reformatory
and charitable institutions with the
State commissioner OF charities and
corrections, DR.. Wight, was held in
Trenton last week, in conformity with
the provisions of the law passed by
the last Legislature. The meeting
was devoted largely to get acquainted
and to preliminary work. The object
of these conferences is to receive sug-
gestions looking to the increase of the
efficiency of the State department and
of the institutions which come under
its supervision, and the success of the
first meeting demonstrated the idea
to be an excellent one from which will
grow good result in the work of the
care of the State dependents and man
agement of penal and reformatory in
stitutions,
DR.. Wight's report was interesting
and instructive. He has visited every
State institution, and he declares
they are thoroughly equipped SO far as
they go. He congratulated the State
that it's reformatory and penal insti-
buttons have been placed in such good
and competent hands as those of its
managers. He reported at some length
concerning his investigation of the
State Reformatory at Railway and his
Communications Of the work there are
given elsewhere in the report of the
conference. Dr. Wight pays this high
commendation to these institutions:
I" The more study these reformatory
institutions, the more am impressed
with the wise and the benevolent
provisions the State has made for the
reformation Of neglected and hayward
youth, and such equipment for them
as can insure useful and honorable
lives.

Increased nearly nine million dollars,

the increase in the value Of import q

THE editor of the Hackettstown
Gazette" accuses us of brutal frank
ness for standing by the canal plank of
the Republican platform and processes
to believe that the people along the
line Of the canal are opposed to aban-
donment. Nobody disputes that the
canal serves a purpose as a water way,
and If it was used for that purpose
alone and supplied with an adequate
number of boats, with no diversion of
water, there would be a reason for it's
continuance. But the trouble is that |
none Of these conditions prevail and
there is no way to insure them. A
business man in this county short |
time ago made applica ion to the canal |
company for a boat load of coal which |
was refused on the ground that no
boats were available. He consulted
counsel to see If he could not compel +
the delivery of the coal, and found that /
he had no remedy in law, as under its
original charter the company had no
liSilU w luu bOduo, dS ~ WdS VII Uilc
same basis as a turnpike company.
Afterward legislation was secured to
enable the company to operate boats,
but it is not obligatory for it to do so.
Any person has a right to build and
operate boats on the canal, paying the
toll fixed by law, yet with possible one
or two exceptions no one does SO.
These are the conditions, and all the
theories in the world will not help
matters. The number Of boats is re-
duced each year, no one builds new
boats, and the general condition of the
canal is nuisance, while In some cases
it isa positive damage to the commun-
ity. The company cannot be compelled
to operate boats, no one else wants to,
so the only logical thing to do is to
abandon the ditch and protect the in
terests of the people.

THE Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has issued its eighteenth annual
report and it is OF special interest in
view of the railroad rate question
about which so much is said. The re-
port shows that 487 complaints we're
filed for consideration and action dur
ing the year 1904. although the num-
Der of tons of freight carried by the
railroads was in the neighboghoOd of
/ 300, 0O0,0 900. The commission in its
report shows that these cases included
both formal and informal complaints
as well as proceedings and inyestiga-
tions instituted on its own motion and
two cases submitted to the commits
sion by agreement of the parties for
investigation and determination Of
the questions in dispute. The num-
Der OF formal cases and Investigations
instituted during the year was sixty
two, involving directly the rates and
practices of 302 railroads. Fifty-eight
hearings have been held in different
parts of the country. Besides dispos-
ing of a large number of complaints
through informal Investigation and
deciding numerous questions arising
in relation to the publications and OBJ
servance OF tariffs, the commission
has rendered during the year twenty
seven decisions on reports and opinions
upon contested cases or Investigations.
