Editorial Page Of the News. o TUESDAY" AVIAN

The brutality which is exhibited
shows the depraved nature of these
human beings. Their victims are
nearly always %defenseless women.
In the light of these events the
n%ortherner is beginning to realize the
true situation in the south, where, in
many states, the negro greatly out
numbers the white population. While
the lynchings and burnings are still
abhorred there is not nearly as much
horror expressed as there was before
the outrages became so frequent in
in this section. A trial and hang
ing does not seem to have any effect
on these brutes, what is to be done?
There is no doubt but that the negro
problem is one of the most important
that the nation must still face.

KING CHRISTIAN OF DENMARK.

With perhaps II or two excep-
lions, the death of King Christian OF
Denmark touches Perth Amboy more
than any other place on the Ameri-
can continent. No monarch who ever
reigned was loved more by his sub
jects and, for that matter, by the
whole world as was this kindly man,
the ruler of the Danes. This feel
ing for their sovereign, born in the
natives of Denmark, and the whole
Scandinavian people, is carried with
them wherever they go. Upon COM
ing to America the new country be-
M the adopted nation and is low
ed and cherished, but the regard for
the home land, the friends and rela-
tives with their gracious ruler, is not
IOTSOlteH. II Is Selg uut " lis
influence that upon e%migrating to an
other shore, his subjects at once be-
come the best and most law-abiding
citizens that enter into a community.
1t is for this reason and the fact
that, excepting for "A small section in
the middle west, Perth Amboy has
the largest scandinavian population
in the country, that the sad death of
King Christian appeals directly to
us. He was held in loving remem-
branee by our friends and neighbors,
therefore We all had a kindly regard
for him. Our sympathy is extended
to those who must necessarily feel
that they have met with a great loss.

A PECULIAR JUSTICE.

At last, after nearly two years
have passed, one man is to be pun
ished for the General Slocum horror
in which over / 1000 women and chill
dren were either drowned or burned
to death in the East river. The man
picked out is the captain of the i'll
fated vessel who, himself, was badly
burned at the time and narrowly es-
capped with his life. After being tried
on three indictments he is found
guilty on one of them and is sentenc-
ed to serve ten years in state prison
at hard labor, the limit of the law in
this particular case.
While there is no attempt to ex-
cuse the captain of the vessel in his
apparent failure to do his duty, yet
the question cannot help but be ask
ed why are not the government of
fcials sent to prison; the inspectors
and others who were supposed to
have examined the Slocum to see that
she was seaworthy and who gave her
permission to sail forth with their
official ok" only to carry hundreds
of merry pleasure-seekers to their
death? Why is the captain, who has
already suffered the most of those
who had neglected to do their duty,
singled out to be punished? Even
this is after the great catastrophe
has passed from the minds of all but
those directly concerned. Truly JUS
tice has been slow in this case and
now that it has acted it is a peculiar
sort of brand that is being dealt out.
The Judge said he would make an ex-
ample of the captain. That is well
enough, but what about the men
higher up? Is there no example to
be set in their case?

Our Duty as Indicated
By Recent Financial Revelations

By NATHAN sTRAUs Millionaire Merchant n Phlanthropist of New York
ZXWE have stood aghast at the conception of honor and integ-
"a rty of those we were wont to look upon as leaders in the
@|& financial and business world, but if we rest with EN-
PRESSING OUR ASTONISHMENT and detestation
of the practices that have been revealed to us, if we prove the charge
that we are mine days people" and compacently forget the evils we
have learned of when the agitation has ceased, then an opportunity
has been lost the like of which will not again present itself in this gen

If adequate punishment be not melted out without hesitation or
weakness for these parasitic acts of men in whom great confidence has
been reposed, then what may we say to our sons!
IF THE UNWORTHY ACCUMULATION OF VAST SUMS OF MONEY
BE LOOKED UPON WITH ToLERATIoN, AND EVEN BRING RESPECT
AND ADMIRATION TO THE PossEssoRs, WHAT BRAND OF HON.
EsTY SHALL WE TEACH TO OUR CHILDREN?
But there are many evidences that the public has awakened to its
power to infict the penalties of ~wrongdoing, and the noticeable de-
crease in Difference paid to mere wealth in an individual is a mark of
BROADER THINKING and an improvement in our education.
We cannot see how the hand of destiny guides us, but if the recent
events, with their dishonor and disgrace, result in a HIGHER
GRADE OF MORALITY and a more enlightened citizenship, they
shall not have been without their compensation.

An automobile using steam power
has just broken all records on the
Florida beach by going two miles in
a minute. Truly this is a fast age.
1t has been but a short time ago that
we were all holding our breath in
amazement at the mile-a-minute clip.
Hardly have we recovered from that
shock when the speed is doubled and
we are now travelling at the rate OF
two miles a minute. The next thing
must necessarily be flying for it
sens hardly possible that anything
can move as fast as that and still
remain on the surface. 1t will lift

CRIMES IN BURLINGTON.

The negro captured in Baltimore
accused of the murder of Miss Allin-
son at Moorestown has confessed and
will be brought to Mt. Holly to stand
trial. There is hardly any doubt but
that he win be hung. Thus another
crime is added to the long list in
Burlington county.
Although the largest county in the
state Burlington is one Of the small

mostly quiet, l|aw-abiding citizens, a
majority of them typical American
farmers including many Quakers. In
fact Burlington is about the last

GORDON STREET NEXT.

Property owners in Gordon street
are showing their progressiveness by
circulating a petition to have that
street paved early this spring.
This is an excellent work. Gordon
street is one of the most desirable
thoroughfares in the city. 1t is lined
on both sides with pretty residences
and only lacks a good pavement. 1t is
understood that the people are al
most unanimous in favor of the i'm
provement. This speaks well. With
Madison ven paved from end to
end and Gordon street the same, a
long step will have been taken to-
ward making the city beautiful. 1t
is probable that Kearny ayenu will
not be far behind the others.

%vg- F YOU ACT well you will LIVE we'll. Study your part and
know HOW to play it. The man who does not study the art
of acting is al "a disadvantage, and thus the greatest philoso-
- pliers and statesmen have devoted themselves to an art con-
corning which an eminent writer in New York has inquired
whether it was worth while. So universal is the habit of acting that
when a man ceases to act we CEASE TO BELIEVE IN HIM., and
the only creature who can be said to be absolutely natural isa maniac.
No one is really obliged to act, but he does, and as he acts and will
act l should advise him to study acting so as to ACT WELL. When
one has to 60 out and make calls and finds all the people at home, it is
well to act the part of looking pleased so a to deceive the hostess.
Have you ever watched in your own family the difference between
Mary or Rosammds SOCIETY MANNER and her manner toward
her younger brother? If she spoke to her brother as she does to Mr..
DuPuyster when he calls l fear me much that her brother would say
something rude. Yes, when Mr.. DuPuyster calls, when Mary goes to
a party, when she is receiving visitors, am afraid she acts. And Mr..
DuPuyster likes it. HE MUST. For after he has married Mary or
Rosamund he complains that her manner is no longer IS charming as
it used to be when he was wo6ng her. think it would perhaps be
better not to act in the FIRST instance.
is ACTING WORTH wHILE9 LOOK AT MONSIEUR WiTTE AND
THE JAPANESE ENJOYS. THE BEST ACTING WON THE DAY
JUST AS THE BEST ACTING, AM TOLD, VERY OFTEN TAKES
THE STAKES AT A GAME OF POKER.
I stretch my eyes over the wide world and the people on it. and
can see no one that is not playing a part. Therefore respect the art OF
which you ae all devotees, and if you must act learn to play your
parts well. Study the ACTING OF OTHERS 80 that you may dis
cover what part is being played by others.
Mr.. Thomas Lawson, if he had studied the art of acting, would
have found his complaints concerning mems dealings with him ridicu-
lous. A fly ought to know a spider when he sees one In ORDER
TO AVOID 1T, and if he knows the habits of a spider he mustn't
walk into his paror and then complain because the spider bites pieces
out of him. If Mr.. Lawson has dealings with an octopus, why should
he express surprise that a octopus should act according to the nature
of an octopus? If a man has the face of a hawk, ware hawk! If he
has the face of a pig, ware pig! And if he has the face OF a bulldog,
cave canem! If a man is a leach, you must not in your dealings with
him expect to find a phlanthropbt. That leech is going to have your
blood IF He. CAN. GET IT. It's his nature, no matter how much
he may try to deceive you by playing another part.
50 shall we STILL say that the study of acting is not worth
while? .@. ..
1T is, THEREFORE,, NOT AMAZING THAT EVERYBODY IS IN
TEREsTED IN THE ART OF ACTING, AND 1T is NOT AMAZING
THAT EVERY ONE THINKS HE CAN ACT.
