THERE is to be railroad commission,
the Governor having approved the law
authorizing such appointment. This new
board is to have administrative powers to
great extent and will be able to compel
railroads to do many things that they have,
heretofore. neglected. There is no excuse
for failure on the part of the state authori-
ties or the railroad managers to study care
fully the provisions of the measure. There
should be no need for interpretations by
the court What the law provided ought to
be easily understood. The law is not hard
on the railroads. 1t is quite the contrary
III an effort should be made to overthrow
the commission or curtail in any way the
powers now accorded to it. the public will
demand something drastic next time. The
revelationsithat are coming out In the course
of time are not helping the management
of the roads in New Jersey. Men who for
years inclined to listen to the pleas of the
roads are beginning to have their ewes
opened. 1t has, in popular parlauce. been
great big game of jolly the railroads
have played. The counsel and the lobby
have Joined hands apparently in pulling
wool over the peoples optics. Stories
have been told of hard luck and hard times
and hard laws In order that rebates and
graft and poor equipment might be used
without exciting too much suspicion.
Now that the harvest of disaster and death
is being reaped and accident is following
accident along almost every road in the
state, the real situation is recognized and
the railroad commission will be expected
to do its duty and see that regulations
shall be enforced. and not relaxed.

AFTER several weeks of active cam
paigning the question of a success
sor to Edwin s. Buzby, County Supervisor
of Roads, was settled by the Board OF
Freeholders on Wednesday, by the selec.
ton of Joseph L. Hilton. There is NO
doubt about the ability of Mr.. Hilton to
successfully fill this position, nor is there
any reason to believe that he will moi
give it the attention that 1t demands.
He proposes to be personally on the
ground whenever possible and to
see that his ideas are carried out. If he
does this he will find his time pretty well
occupied. He certainly has, during his
term as Freeholder, had ample opportun
tiles to study the needs of the situation
and the firmness that has characterized
his actions on public questions leave no
room for fear that he will omit any de
tails for the benefit of good roads and fol
the country treasury.

GovRRNoR Stokes has signed the uniform
divorce law and New Jersey is now In line
with other states that have given express
sion on the subject Recent occurrences
lave caused an agitation on the question
OF divorce which show that there is a
widespread opposition to spch proceed
ings While there may be instances where
divorce is not only advisable but necessary
the majority of cases are simply desire
on the part of one of the parties to get rid
of the other In order to take up with a
companion for whom sudden fancy has
arisen. This was certainly the basis for
the divorce in the Corey separation. A
desire to put aside the wife for the purpose
of becoming united with the object of In.
fatuation was all there was to 1t.

FIRE insurance rates have advanced
again to suit the ideas of the underwriters
who take such steps whenever the spirit
moves them, which is quite often. There
does not seem to be any use to kick against
this action. The insurance people have
everything their own way and the public
pays the freight. In this period of inves-
tigation why not have commission to In
quire into the methods of insurance com
panies2 What reason is there that these
corporations. nearly all of which are for

The message Of Governor John A.
Johnson Is one of the wisest, sanest
and most thought. provoking docu-
ments ever sent to Minnesota legis-
lature. It is worthy of perusal BY
every citizen interested in the welfare
of his state. The governor makes
recommendations on the ever vexiug
question Of taxation which in partio.
ular deserves consideration. There is
a great opportunity before the legis-
lature, and 1t will meet the desires OF
the vast majority of the people if it
proceeds along the line pointed out by
the governor. The governors recon-
mendatious as to the abolition Of the
pass evil. and for the reduction of the
passenger rate to Q cents mile, will
meet universal appreciation. Other
important questions are handled with
Discrimination, vigor and ability. It
is in all respects great message.

The father Of the new senator, ST.
mon Guggenheim Of Colorado, came
to the United States in 1853 in the
storage, as Macy worthy citizens
have done since. He peddled stove
polish for living, then sold embroi-
deriss. got into the mining business
by accident. and finally developed the
smelling trust, one of the greatest mo-
nopolies in the world. The son of
the stove polish peddler becomes an
American senator. This Is another
of the things which are likely to only
happen in the United States.
