The New York "Tribune" says -
The New Jersey Legislature is ex-
pected to adjourn sine die this week.
1t is but stating simple fact to say
that upon the work of the next few
days depends the place in State history
which this body will occupy. The
work so far done is not of great mo-
ment. with the exception Of the bill
for the taxation of what is known as
second-class railroad property. There
was no way of escaping the enactment
of that measure without violating
specific obligations, but it is rather
disappointing to many that something
more has not been done in the direc-
tion OF promoting equality in taxa
tion. Possibly the creation of an
Equality Taxation Court" may over
come to some extent this feeling of
disappointment. The bill creating
such court is expected to pass this
week; but no matter what the power
lodged in it, the results from the pub
lie point of view, are likely to be I'M
satisfactory if the men chosen as
judges be not pre- -eminently fitted for
the work committed to them. Among
the obvious qualifications are trained
knowledge Of the taxing problem and
lack of bias for or against the interests
concerned, The appointment Of men
whose decisions could be predicted in
advance in any given case, regardless
OF the facts, would make it difficult to
persuade the public that there was
any serious intention to keep faith
with it.

THE inaugural committees official
figures show that there were 100000
visitors in Washington on March to
witness President Roosevelt's inaugur-
alton. This number is greater by 49,
600 than at the second Mckinley in
auguration and $4,000 greater than
the number at the first Cleveland in
auguration. The crowd exceeded by
many thousands that Of any former
occasion of similar character. The
affair was SO well managed that con-
siderable balance of the money con
tributed for the expense remains In
the hands Of the committee. 1t is
estimated that the American people
spent more than five millions of dol
lars to witness the Inauguration. And
it was we'll worth the cost.

THE parole system in this state is
accomplishing good results. Accord
ing to Instructor Fish, out Of 4,O68
convicts whose records were investi-
gated by him, but 544, or IL per cent,
were undergoing Imprisonment for the
first time, and 1924 were first-termers
of whom there were 3,2l2 against
whom there was no record of previous
incarceration. OF 16l individual pris-
oners whom Instructor Fish had under
his care and observation since their
parole, he says that at least 80 per cent.
are now leading correct lives which
certainly is good showing in favor
of the proper supervision of all, by a
competent, earnest and sympathetic
officer. A bill is pending providing
for the appointing of an officer to look
after discharged prisoners.

JOHN HAYS CAREER.

4 fgt.H 8
1t is feared that John Hay can never
resume work, and already Secretary
Taft is being mentioned as a possible
successor. His virtual collapse last
Saturday when going aboard the ocean
steamer to cross the Atlantic shows
that his physical condition is much
worse than the previous reports from
Washington during his recent illness
led the public to suppose. For several
days yet, or until the steamer lands,
the country will be in ignorance Of his
condition, though it will hope that the
ocean voyage and the rest which it
will bring him will reinyigorate him
and permit him to resume his old post
after his vacation.
Mr.. Hay has had long and active
career during his 81 years Of life. AS
one Of Lincoln's private secretaries his
public life began at the beginning of
the civil war, and it has lasted with
only few periods Of interruption, up
to to-day. For a few years after the
war he was secretary of legation at
Paris, Madrid and Vienna, and was
charge d 'affaires at the last-named
capital. He was assistant secretary Of
state in the latter part of Hayes ad
ministration, was ambassador to Eng
land in l897-98, covering the period of
the Spanish war, and has been secre-
tary OF state since then. In the inter
vals Of his service in public position
he has held responsible positions on
prominent newspapers.
Norman who has ever held the post
OF secretary of state, except John
Quincy Adams, has had such thorough
training for the duties of this Office as
has Mr.. Hay. He has learning, wide
public experience, broad knowledge of
the politics and the history of all the
great countries of the world, and large
personal acquaintance in many of them
through service in them in diplomatic
station. There Is no political prece-
dence in cabinet posts in the United
States. We have no first minister in
our executive and administrative sys-
tenn. Yet, from the beginning of the
government, Presidents haye always
selected particularly strong men for
heads OF the state department. These
have included such prominent states
men as Jefferson, Madison, John Quin-
cy Adams, Clay, Webster, Calhoun,
Cass, Seward, Everett, Blaine, Bayard,
Sherman and many others. Except
Adams and one or two others,
5he service Of the present secretary Of
state has been the longest in the coun-
jry's annals. among America s great !
oreign ministers John Hay will al
ways hold prominent place.

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1905-06-23

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE SEN
sational announcement was made
shortly before midnight that Grand
Duke Alexis, the high admiral, VINO
is an uncle of the emperor, and Ad-
miral Avellan, head of the Russian ad-
miralty department has resigned.
This announcement was followed a
few minutes later by an imperial re-
script relieving the grand duke OF
the supreme direction OF the navy,
which he had held since the days or
the emperors father, Alexander Ill,
when Russia resolved to enter the
lists as a first-class sea power and to
build up a great navy, the remnants
of which were destroyed in the bat
tie of the sea of Japan.
Although from time to time since
the war began there have been ru-
mors that the grand duke would re-
tire on account of the savage crltl-
cism. not to use harsher terms, direct
ed against the administration OF the
navy, especially in the construction
of ships. the announcement of his re-
signation came like a bolt out of the
blue sky.

cafes and hotels the editorial in the

lar fund subscribed for the rebuild
ing of the navy and declaring that
great names are no longer guaran-
tees" was instantly recalled. The
words of the rescript give no hint Of
imperial anger, and the real explana-
ton probably will not leak out for
several days, but the instant DISPOSE
ton was to regard the retirement of
Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral Avel-
Ian as a concession to public opinion,
following the browning tragedy of the
Sea of Japan. Charges of misman-
agement and inefficiency and tales of
corruption and even worse against
the marine department, have been
rife for years After the war began
they increased ten fold, and lately
a regular campaign against the de.
partment has been openly conducted
in the newspapers. Some startling
revelations have been made in this
campaign, and Captain Clado, who
was one of the leading critics of the
conduct of the navy, was dismiss
ed from the service for his persist,
ence.
1t was felt, even in quarters, where
charges of corruption were not en-.
tertained that it would be unwise to
entrust the building of the navy to
the hands which were responsible for
the helpless fleets of the past.
