STATE MUST ADVERTISE
PETITIONS FOR PARDON
New Jersey, by New Rules. Hopes to
Obviate Unfavorable Criti-
cism by Public.

TRENTON. y. J.. Feb. 10.-The criti-
cisms that have been directed to the
work Of the court OF paTdOns in the
past have Influenced the judges TO make
new rules governing the actions Of the
court, and hereafter the public viii know
what is being done in the cases OF men
and women cOnviCts who are in state
prison and penitentiary wanting to be
released on parole.
In the past men noted for crimes
against society have been liberated, and
society knew nothing about their coming
out until the final action of the court.
This has led in many instances 10 the
greatest criticism, especially I'm the case
Of Charles Roller. Of Newark. who got
out Of prison for turning informer
Under the new rules. the public win
be advised Of any attempt to free a
convict, and this VIII give chance for
all necessary criticism on the part of
the public before final action by the
court of pardons.
The publicity rule provides for the
publication Of applications once a week
for TWO weeks successfully, next pre-,
ceding the term, IN two newspapers
printed IN the city Of Trenton. and By
posting for a like space Of two weeks
at the courthouse of the county in which
conviction was had.

Public Obligations.

Richard A McCurdy, former presi-
dent of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company. is said to be going to Paris,
there to pass the rest of his days in
whatever peace his conscience will
grant him.
John A. Mccall, former president
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, has retired to Lakewood, n. J.,
whence come reports that he is a
mental and physical wreck.
To the American public the names
of Mccall and McCurdy are, for the
present, synonymous of all that is
Odious in business life. They will
remain so until replaced by the
names of the next millionaires who
become the objects of the public in
dignation. AS time goes on the
American people may realize that
Mccall and McCurdy were treated
harshly; that these two men possess
ed many of the qualities which have
gone to make the nation great and
powerful; that. the mistakes of their
lives were common to many foremost
fnanciers- But the partial vindica-
ton, if it comes, will come too late.
II the fall of these life insurance
presidents could be made to serve
as a wholesome lesson to the direc-
tors of many of our gigantic semi
public corporations their life work
would be of vast public service. Their
great mistake was that as they rose
In business life they failed to see
that by becoming directors of corpor-
ations which interested directly thou
sands of American citizens, they as
sumed duties of a public character
For no matter how private the ORR
gin OF corporation may be, when it
involves the interests of thousands
and hundreds of thousands of Ameri
can citizens, be they laborers, stock
holders, or consumers. it acquires
public character. While this may
not hold in law, it is a fact, never
theless. And this is true, not only
of life Insurance companies. but of
railroads. express companies, coal
companies, oil companies, and all
other corporations doing more than
a local business.

Our Regular Winter Performance,

Snow and ice. new law. talk of
an appropriation of 100000 unless
a new law is passed. and the rest of
the familiar subject-matter are upon
us this winter as last, and the winter
before that, and so on for a genera
ton. How old this performance is,
how many times it has been done,
and how Invariably it has worked
out to the. same end would be hard
to tell Now it is. with us again
and we have no more hope this year
than We had last that the turn will
be improved. s
1t ought not be impossible to frame
a law which will compel owners of
property in the District OF Columbia
to clear away the snow and ice from
the foot pavements fronting on their
property. That is their manifest
duty TO the community, and the prop
erty is within the jurisdiction of our
courts.
II il were a non governmental COR
poration that was involved and it
needed a form of agreement to cir
cumvent some other law, the in
genuity of the lawyers would not fail.
Why should it fail here with Con-
gress anxious TO pass the right law,
the Commissioners anxious TO en-
force it, and the courts anxious to
sustain it?
Another bill on this subject-pos-
sibly the third, maybe the thirteenth
has gone to Congress. Of it our
news columns Of yesterday said:
The proposed bin contains practically
the same provisions which were en-
bodied in the last snow and ice act
passed by Congress and held invalid by
the Court of Appeals on the ground that
II held certain determinations. except
that the objectionable features are elm
mated, II has been prepared bY the
commissioners in cooperation with Cor
poration Counsel Thomas,
Hope springs eternal in the human
breast. Our enthusiasms are as young
as those of the Commissioners. And
yet, And yet! From the synopsis
of the bill which has been printed
as news we learn that the punishment
provided is fine or Imprisonment;
and so we wonder how this new bin
is to reach non-residents who own
property here; and we do not forget
that 1T has been the non-residents
who have chiefly offended in the
past

long since the divorce laws in operation
in the District were radically changed,
making absolute divorce possible only on
the Biblical ground. Before the enact

Before the law limiting the ground for
absolute divorce to n single ground was
enacted the dockets of the local courts
were crowded with such litigation 1t
was seldom that a person suing for di-
Vorce would allege the Biblical plea as
a ground for legal separation. While il
IS true that for year or two after the
new code went into effect, there was a

Soon after the passage Of the code an

ed by the defeated Conservatives, or
will 1t merely establish a Just balance
of power between the social forces
which, are guiding the destinies of
the British Empire? We incline to
the latter opinion. Laborers and
lords are each a part of the British
social fabric. Why SHOULD there not
be laborers and lords in the British
parliament?
Transfer the question to this eoun-
try. Would it be better for the
American public ana for American
labor if there were more workingmen
members of Congress? Perhaps the
most conservative answer is to wait
and see what happens in England.
However, while our English cousins
are solving the problem for us. here
are a few questions we might con-
slider: Would American labor receive
more at the hands of the Government
by having a party OF its own than by
appealing to or threatening the two
great parties? Is IL a healthy con-
dition of affairs for the country to
have American laboTers uniting by
the million and sending delegates to
an annual convention, where labor
problems are discussed from but one
point OF view? Is it well to have a
vaSG representative system of gov
eminent for labor grow mp outside
our representative system of gov
eminent? As capital has its repre-
sentatives in Congress, would it be
well for labor TO have the same2
Would the public suffer less by hav-
ing labor and capital settle their
larger difficulties at the polls and in
Congress instead of by strikes in the
coal feds? Would it be better for
labor to use the strike as a local
weapon, and to transfer to their dele
gates in Congress, as a public issue,
every labor dispute which involves
the comfort OF millions of Ameri-
can citizens? Could Senator Comp
ers or Senator Mitchell accomplish
more for labor than Mr.. Gompers or
Mr.. Mitchell?
These questions may receive their
answer from events in the British
parliament.

Mondsy's Seheo, Election.

The school election of Monday was
great surprise party to the elected
as well as the defeated. 1t was the
general opinion that the contest
would be very close. but the result
was a Landslide for the people who
have been making a strenuous en-
deavor to oust the powers that have
been for years. The election was
the most exciting in the history of
La Junta. the total vote being $40.
the largest every recorded. In the
school election last year $50 votes
were cast. K. W. Patterson being
elected over A. Il. Wallis by a ma
jority of 225. The issue this year
was practically the same as last. but
the result was different alas, so
different.
The vote in detail is as follows:
For the five year term: Mrs. Flora
Thompson. So; J. h. Sherman. 352.
Mrs. Thompson's majority. 235. For
the four year term: A. c. Draper,

New Nigh School Building.

Bids for the erection Of the new
high school building We're opened
last Saturday. Eleven bids from
firms in various parts of the country
We're submitted. two of which were
from local contractors. and both Of
which were the lowest The bids
ranged from So. .375 to s3i .59s. The
bid of kranz Bros. So, ,375, was the
lowest. Blankenship Bros. being a
close second with s29. .i0o-only s25
difference. The awarding of the
contract was deferred until the new
school board is organized.
The new school building. Is plan
ned. will be model Of architectural
beauty. The architect is J. +. Will
son. of Denver. who was also the
architect Of the new Presbyterian
church. The building will have a
frontage of 1927 feet on San Juan
avenue. with q depth of 20 feet. and
be three stories in heighth, all Of
which. with the exception of two
and one-half feet. will be above
ground. In the first story. or base
ment. will be located the rooms for
manual training. domestic science.
janitors quarters. heating plant. etc.
On the second floor there are five
class rooms. with halls and offices,
and on the third floor three class
rooms and an auditorium capable OF
seating nearly 800 people. 1t was the
intention Of the old board to COM
mence the work Of construction at a
very early date. The new school
board will probably decide upon
something definite Immediately.
