FRIDAY, IA.
SUCCESS.

President Roosevelt has made more
changes in his cabinet for the time
he has occupied the white house than
any other president. But that is
easily explained. President Roose-
welt has the faculty Of tapping a man
for all the good there is in him OF
once. He draws out all that he needs
and, having profited by the fellow
knowledge, is ready to tackle the
next. 1t requires four years for some
presidents to get the full use of a
man and ever then some OF them
have not accomplished it.
People often wonder at Roosevelt's
great success, his great knowledge Of
affairs and the ready manner in which
he grasps details. His secret is in his
Judgment Of men. He chooses whom
he wants, gets from them what he
needs and then gets others. 1t is
noticed also that every man who has
given Roosevelt something has prof
tied greatly himself by the expert
ence.

Smith. Outside of Essex, TOO. there
will be bitterness over the outcome.
An estimate as to the meaning of the
caucus action has already been given
by the Trenton True American, speak
ing as the leading democratic news
paper in the state. when the peo-
pie of New Jersey elected a demo-
cratic house." says the True Ameri-
can, "they had no notion that their
success would be made an excuse for
a quarrel among self-constituted lead
ers for the control of the house or
they had a right to expect, that the
democratic majority in the house
would bury whatever personalities
they may have had in stock, to the
end that the interests of the people
might stand first. The people, and
not the leaders, elected the demo-
cratic members of the house, and the
people have first claim on those mem
bers. The democratic members of
the house must go back to the people
with their records, and an o. X
from the leaders will not assure them
reelection. 1t is well that if blund-
ers had to be made that they were
made at the first party caucus. 1t
showed where the party's weakness
lays, and how that weakness may be
avoided during the Legislative ses-
sion. 1t showed that the influences
responsible for yesterdays pitiful
display need to be suppressed, and
unless they are suppressed the party
will emerge from the Legislative ses-
sion of 1907 as badly disrupted as it
has been any time within the past ten
years"
After the exhibition of yesterday,
however, it will take a person of
strong faith to even intimate that
anything good may come out of this
assembly. Mr.. Firth, selected to be
the presiding officer, is a man without
qualification for the position of
speaker. He will go into a session
of the legislature handicapped by his
own s~hortcoming, by a division in his
own party ranks, by obligations to
Interests that conflict with the pub
lie welfare, and by a republican lead
ership that is experienced, and, con-
sequently, forceful.

the field of intimate relations with all the nations OF the
wv earth. It is a field in which the guiding principle laid
down by Washington of friendship for all, entanghng
alliances viii none" is as wise a rule of conduct as it was in Wash
ingtons time.
It is as true now as it was then that Europe has certain primary in
terests in which we ar not concerned and into which we should not
permit ourselves to be drawn, yet it is a field In which we care no
longer to be Indifferent OR TO BE IGNORANT, for in it the
interests of our vast production and trade are vitality concerned, and in
it we have responsibilities and duhes-duties to civilization and to
HUMANITY-which we cannot escape if we would and which the
conscience of America will not permit us to escape if we could.
In this time of vast immigration, of international investment and
ownership. of opportunities for enterprise and of enlarged peaceful
intercourse and, above all, of steadily progressing popular govern
ment a NEW DIPLOMACY has found peace. We already realize
that the same rules of right conduct which obtain in our individual
intercourse with each other apply also to our internal political action
and the exercise of the powers of self government.
We realize that what is wrong and to be condemned in the conduct
of man to man is wrong and to be condemned in the conduct of
PUBLIC OFFICERS and in the conduct of politicians.
America has given to the world an example of a democracy made
up Of individuals capable of that self control and self restraint which
enable the defeated contestants in a most. exciting political contro-
versy to accept PEACEFULLY the judgment of the majority and
lead the entire community, however keen may be its feelings, to bow
with respect to judicial judgment.
The same spirit REINFORCED by the sentiment for humanity and the
desire to help the progress of civilization may exert a powerful infu-
ence not only upon our own affairs and other nations, but upon tho
INTERNATIONAL INTERCOURSE of mankind. RI
MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION ARE USEFUL METHODS OF
SOLVING INTERNATIONAL CONTROVERSIES WITHOUT RECOURSE
TO WAR, BUT THE TRUE PREVENTIVE OF WAR is THE WILL

THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.

1t isn't altogether a matter of pride
for the state of New Jersey to know
that it has for speaker of the assem-
bly, a man who, while conducting a
saloon was arrested, pleaded guilty
and was fined $500 for having slo!
machines in his place.
The Newark Evening News sums
up the present condition of affairs n
the state legislature in the following
forceful manner
Little of good may be expected
from a house of assembly dominated
by the influences that controlled the
democratic caucus at Trenton yes
terday. The party that won such an
unexpected victory at the polls in
November, because of a revolt against
republican boss rule, has, within a
month. surrendered, through the
men chosen to be lawmakers, to a
machine as constituencies and as dis
credited by the people as the one re-
buked by the voters. The manner in
which the majority of the conferees
submitted to the crack of the boss
whip, welded by Messrs. Gourley and
Nugent, was far from being an edi-
Tying spectacle. There were evil
dences of fear that there might be a
revolt on the part of some of the
Essex members, and that was why
Nugent was kept on guard over them
so closely, but the result shows that
the fear was groundless, for there
could not have been more complete
~servility than that exhibited by the
eleven men from this county.
The outcome of the caucus has
TPeen described as a victory for Es-
Wsx, but it will not be received as
by the people here. 1t will

The Telephone i'm England.


The B%ritishers are not confident of
keeping up with the telephone devel-
opment in the United States. On this
point an English publication says: Z
whether we shall ever approach
the prodigious development in the
use OF the telephone which obtains in
America is another matter. For a
variety of reasons the telephone SER
vice has entered into the life of the
American people to an extent which
is harly conceivable by those who
V had to struggle against the
numerous adverse influences that
have checked the advance of British
telephony. 1t Is commonplace now
in American cities to find an ex-
change telephone on every office
desk, on every shop counter of large
shops, In every hotel chamber, even
l n every room of moderate-sized
private houses. The exchange tele-
phone is getting to be the inseparable
companion Of the American by day
and by night, and he relies on it for
an infinite variety of purposes. In
all this we are a good ten years be-
hind the United States. We know
the main causes which have held
back the telephone in this country,
md there is little profit in rehearsine
the long story of past difficulties
But there is another cause.-the in
nate conversation of the British char
acter, the general unwillingness te
use the telephone properly and tc
appreciate the. real value of the SER
vice. In the education of the public
on these points American telephone
practice is far in advance of ours

Chance For the Development
OF American Dramatic Type

BY HENRY ARTHUR JONES Famous English Playwright
@NGLAND and America have nothing that can by charity be
T. called their NATIONAL DRAMA. But why should not
they have one they could be proud of! What of a school of
genuine blank verse plays? To hope that any playwright
can accomplish any school of drama except that connected with the
peoples DAILY LIVES is impossible.
People cannot expect much successful poetry in their dramas till
they get more of it in their daily lives. Neither the American nor the
English life is CONDUCIVE to the poetic drama. | do not think
there is any hope for a school of the poetic drama.
In some respects the American conoquial language is better than
the English. 1t swarms with luay young idioms, and these are THE
ONLY FITTING VEHICLE in the world for a national drama.
American streets and pramies and drawing rooms are the only fit re-
cruiting grounds for a NATIONAL drama. Surely America is a
most tempting ground for the American drama.

Industrial Education
In the Public Schools

"N By ALFRE MOSELY Prominent English EducationEt
INDUSTRIAL education is today just as necessary as is the ed
ucatioh now given in the public schools. Conditions of in
dutrialism have during the last generation undergone A
COMPLETE CHANGE. Formerly all industries were con-
Quoted in a small way and the old fashioned system of apprenticeship
was in operation.
Formerly the apprentice learned his trade throughout and became
able to turn his hand to almost ANY CLASS OF WORK in his
own particular industry. Nowadays the workman does but one piece
OF work or may only direct a machine in the execution Of that work;
hence there is now no such thing as A MASTER WORKMAN in
the old sense of the word. &s.W e
ANY CHANGE IN A PARTICULAR INDUSTRY LEAVES ITS
WOHkMsN WIFI NOTHING THAT THEY CAN TURN THEIR
HANDS to-
1t is therefore becoming more and more necessary that the school
essay the place of the apprenticeship system and give to the pupil a
knowledge OF mechanical and technical processes which will enable
him in the future TO ADAPT HIMSELF TO CHANGES that
he may find in his own special industry.

SPEED OF A BASEBALL

The paragraph printed in this column last week regarding the attempts made by adventurous ball players to catch a baseball thrown from the ton of the Washington monument has brought a query as to the relative difficulty of catching such ball and batted
 liner or good pitchers swiftest de- livery. The velocity of the dropped bal is the easy factor to determine. According to the laws of acceleratfon. It would strike the ground with a ve- locity of about 1SO feet per second. On the other hand, it is strange that for a game where so many records are col lected and annually tabulated. swift ness of pitching is left so largely for tradition to perpetuate. No reference book at our command gives the feet travelled per second by the straight swift ball Of Amos Russie. Mathewson or Tube" Waddell. But it is cer- tainly an exceptionally swift ball that travels the eos feet between the pitch CTS box and the plate in less than a second. This would make the ball from the monument about three times as swift as any which the orlinary catcher has to face in fast company.'-New York Post.
