tial. and he devidad his attention in this
speech between the alleged atrocities of
the English pottery works and the con-
ditions that are admitted to have pre-
vailed in the Paokingtown district of
Mr.. Shawis contention is that society
is Indifferent to the lniseries endured by
the workmen of dishonest employers.
This indifference in his estimation justi-
fies the condemnation of Society as ras.
cally. AS matter of fact Society is
rot Indifferent, but in a multitude and
the majority of cases Society is ignorant
and remains so until some reformer-Mr.
Shaw himself. for example-appears
with bundle of disclosures which mage
Society "sit up and take notice"
His charge that in the excitement
over the beef trust exposure the situation
of the workmen in the packing houses
has been oervlooked is so far wide of
the mark as to be scarcely worth con
sideration. But for the correction of
those who may attach Importance to it,
it is we'll to remark that the legislation
which is primarily designed to protect
the consumer of meat who may be count
ed by the million will as certainly rem
edy the abuses under which the relative
ly insignificant community of packing
house workmen suffer as though it had
been formulated for their especial
benefit
Influences which effect social reform
move. as a rule, with precisely the
speed warranted by the magnitude OF
he abuses revealed. Society here or in
England will not constitute itself Wig
lance committee of the whole to ferret
out dishonesty and corruption 1t
would be better, perhaps, if society would
resolve itself into such a committee, but
so long as it delegates the work OF dis
coyery TO a few enterprising and aeert
individuals and reserves to itself merely
the right to denounce and indict and con-
denim. it is no use for Mr.. Shaw and
other advanced muck rakers to scola-
Social and industrial conditions both here
and in Europe reveal with every aecaue
the NET progress of which one of Mr.
Shaw's stage characters declares man
ind TO be utterly incapable. Every agi-
tation that lays bare some startling
scandal makes for progression and
while the gain may be afterward inn
paired by events. it is never wholly iost.
Those who are familiar with Mr..
Shaw's specious philosophy will not be
inclined TO agree with him in his indiet-
ment of society because re frankly m
cludes himself among the damned. he
is prone to self-arraignment and self
depreciation--iik his own fiye-shiliing
dentist-when he thinks the effect of
what he says viii be heightened by his
erection of himself as a taget. just

of his heroines gives to one Of his heroes.
And Shaw will keep on talking to the
end. Which reminds us that his talk is
never dull though it abounds in villain
ously bad logic.

FRIDAY. JULY 6. 1906.

New Jersey has the best rife range in
the United States. 1t is beautifully To-
Gated on the seashore; it is easily aeces-
sible and its equipments are of the best
in every respect, says the Newark Ev-
ening News 1t is the choice of the
United States Government whenever the
regular soldiers need riff practise, and it
is the range upon which State. interstate
and national matches are held. The Sea
Girt camp grounds and rife range are
almost as well known in England as they
are here. They are to be made even bet
ter than ever before by the addition OF
many new targets. so that arge numbers
of riaemen may practise at the same
time
But the New Jersey team, in the inter
state matches, is not on par with the
range. Last year and the year before
the State teams did not do as well as
they should have done. Several States
fairly distanced New Jersey, and the
United States infantry. marine and navy
teams put our own marksmen to shame.
not only in the total scores but particu-
larIy in the remarkable progress made
by them in a single year, in the skill re-
uuired to hit the targets at the different
distances. New Jerseys team, though
on its own special ground. showed no
progress at all. The men did fairly well
at short range but were inexcusably
poor at the long ranges
Letting the hioO soldiers take away
the Dryden trophy was a numllatloh
that ought not to have been suffered,
and dropping from third place to sixth.
with total of 4,267 out of 5000, left
sharpshooters with nothing TO boast Of.
This year it is to be hoped that much
better record will be made at the big
tournament in August The Legislature
has passed the Dick bill. which is expect
ed 10 inspire the aNtional Guard with
new c,lthusiasm; good deal of dead
wood has been cut out, and some new
timber has been secured in the past year
or two. and General Spencer has made
arrangements for more general practice
at the butts.
Whatever can be done. within reason.
To get the very hest marksmen on the
STATE Team ouSiit W he pVnC' Al" Ai"e'SA
III what regiments or companies these
men are to be found or how far away
they are from the State range. The other
States send their best here, and New
Jersey should not only give them the use
of the best range in the country, but
should see that the competition is as hot
as the most skilful narkslnen in this
Stare can make ii. A National Guard
that costs nearly 100000 year, with q
riae range that cost 100000 or more,
should not be content to stand sixth in
any match with thirty-seven teams aud
