THE PROBE IN STATE INSTITUTIONS.

1t is expected that when the Hahn
investigating committee resumes work
next week the inquisitors will take
up the State institutions at Tren-
ton. The State prison, the Home
for Girls and the insane asylum
present inviting fields of inquiry.
Each of these institutions has been
under investigation. but the probe
was not inserted deep. There were
grave abuses shown at the insane asy-
lum, but the matter was veneered over
and forgotten. The State prison man
agement has been fortunate in soap
ing serious investigation, while Gov
ernor Voorhees, openly and brazenly
protected the disreputable management
of the State Home for Girls under the
Mrs. Eyler administration. a manage
ment that Governor Murphy subse-
quently kicked out An investigation
of these institutions will doubtless be
directed mainly to the system of pur-
chasing supplies.

A srArr Boycorr ON TRUSTS.

Texas keeps well in advance of all
the other States in her antitrust laws.
An enactment becomes effective today
providing in effect that any person who
represents a trust as agent. or sells
goods made by a trust or combination,
shall be deemed guilty of felony, and,
upon conviction. shall be punished by
imprisonment for from two to ten
years. The law applies to all mer-
chants who sell trust-made goods and
all who may be directly in the employ
of such concerns.
An enumeration of the principal
goods made by trusts will show that a
rigid enforcement of the Texas law
would exclude from sale in the state
many articles in universal use and
deemed Indispensable. Prepared to-
bacco is one. steel rails Is another. All

LAW THAT IS OPERATIVE.

The weakness in the argument of
before the North Carolina Bar Associa-
ton, that the Federal government could
Interstate commerce before statutes
were passed by Congress, had the gov
the government didn't make a single
move in that direction. A~ttorney-gen-
erals came and went, and nothing was
doing. Attorneys General Griggs could
not find any authority, even under the
Sherman act, to AXE a single step.
And so the comedy was proceeding
until a strong will and inflexible pur-
pose in the White House procured the
statutes Judge Parker complains about.
And the comedy would have gone on to
the end until the F~rankenstein conjured
up by our too convenient corporation
laws would have become stronger than
the government itself-would have de-
stroyed free institutions or brought on
a catastrophe.
Judge Parker made an excellent jul
rist. He is patriotic, unfettered and
broad in his Views. But 1t Is evident
in his remarks that he attaches too
much value to the law itself and less
to the carrying out of the law. If the
common law is flexible, as he says; If
1t can be made applicable to every new
condition which may arise. why has 1t
so generally in the States been sup
planted by the statute law? The trouble
is that the common law rests too
largely in the Interpretation and dis
erection of judges, and Judges do not
agree and do not always interpret
rightly or justly. Given an infexible
law, and everybody, including the
judges, knows what it

SATURDAY. JULY Ii. 1907.
FEDERAL AID FOR A SHIP CANAL.

1t will not do to bank too confidently
on an appropriation by Congress to
reclaim the Hackensack meadows and
construct a ship canal from New York
Bay to Newark Bay across these mead
ows. The fact that a United States
engineer has been favorably impressed
by the project does not go a great way.
Engineering reports are not always ia
vorably received by the department Off
cials at Washington, and even when
they do get the official sanction, the
House and Senate committees prove a
stumbling block.
A canal across the meadows, with the
reclamation work suggested. would cost
millions Of dollars. Congress is made
up of representatives of the whole Uni
ted States and nearly every section
thereof is interested In getting an ap-
preparation in a river n harbor bill.
The feat Of the Cape May Real Estate
Company in securing an appropriation
of more than a million In the last river
n hHrbor bill was accomplished by
powerful influences In New York and
Pennsylvania, and the plea they made
was a broadly attractive one-the build
ing Of a harbor of refuge on a danger
u coast having nc harbors at all.
1t would be an unusual thing for
Newark and for all the commercial and
Industrial interests centred In and
about our city If the Federal govern
ment should take up the project Of a
ship canal, but let us not be jubilant
until we see the appropriation passed
and the work authorized.

KNOX AS CANDIDATE.

The pledge by the Republican State
convention in Pennsylvania of the Re-
publican vote of that State for Senator
Philander C. Knox for President in the
national convention goes no further
than the State convention itself. Mr..
Knox has no support in n other
State. He is supposed to be a candi-
date antagonistic to the R~ooseveltian
policies, and therefore acceptable to the
great corporation interests that wan
to control the Republican nomination
in 1908. A political convention in Penn
sylvania is more easily manipulated
than a convention in any other State,
and Mr.. Knox, being an eminent Penn
%sylvanian, would naturally appeal to
such a convention on state grounds.
But there is in Pennsylvania an inn
mense Republican electorate that has
not been consulted. PENNSYLVANIA will
have sixty-eight delegates in the ma
tional Republican convention, and all
but -four will be chosen by Congress
sional districts. each district acting for
itself and selecting its delegates under
the new primary system. which gives
the voters the right of free choice.
Now, there is no reason to believe
that the people of Pennsylvania are
different from the people of other
States. They have the same interests
and ideas and sentiments as the people
of New Jersey, and New York and any
other State, and there is the same feel
ing with them In respect TO the policies
represented by President Roosevelt as
with the people of the rest OF the coun
try.

THE UNITED. ELECTRIC LEASE.

The minority stakeholder is in evil
dence again in the matter of the lease
Of the United Electric Company to the
Public Service Corporation. which lat
ter concern holds SO per cent, of United
Electric stock. The total of the capt.
tai stock is 200. 900 shares and of this
only 1888 shares opposed a lease and
may make an isue in the courts IL not
p~lacated.
To the uninitiated vt would seem to
be immaterial to the lessee corporation
whether 1t controls its subsidiary by
stock ownership or by a perpetual lease
since 1t is in absolute control in either
case. The one reason given for the
change is economy in operation. All
combinations of corporations present
that as a principal reason. But there
are other and more material reasons
vital to the Public Service Corporation,
and they look verytwell in bookkeeping.
If the business oflselling electric light
and power were a~lmonopoly net to be
broken, the public would have reason
to question sue an arrangement as
this lease, which guarantees q regular
annual dividend on the $40, 900, 900 of
United Electric stock. of which 9S per
cent. is owned by Public Service. This
dividend as well as interest on 500, 000,-
900 of bonds, must be paid out of the
income, and the income must come

The Federal judge is not infalIibie.
There are conflicting decisions by Fed
eral judges In this country on the ques-
ton of railroad rates. A Judge in the
South has enjoined State officers from
enforcing a law limiting railroad fares.
In Missouri a Judge constitutes himself
an arbitrator in a trial Of a state law
for three months. al the end OF which
time the railroad is to show the effect
Of rate limitations or the business. In

To tho Editor Of the Evening Star:
When were the first pensions granted by
this government? Please print a history Of
the various acts of Congress having to do
PENSION.
TThe first pension act, dated August rs,
1T76. was an act of the Continental Con-
gress providing, by means of a pension, for
the isabled soldiers Of the Revolutionary
Army, a measure supplemented soon after
with a resolution to the effect that officers
who would continue in service to the end
of the war should receive half-pay for
seven years thereafter, and the soldiers
who would do Iikewis a bounty OF $50. In
1889 the United States government began
to assume the pension obligations which
the States had severally undertaken at the
suggestion of Congress In 1885. In 1897 the
pension lists were ,swelled by the addition
of the officers and 'seamen of the navy dis
abled In the service. In 1918 pensions were
granted to all indigents who had served at
least nine months In the Revolutionary
army. In 1896, 1913 and 1858 provisions wero
made for ~pensioning all widows OF Revolu-
tionary soldiers. In 1862 and subsequently
pensions were provided for soldiers and
sailors disabled in the Civil Wal and for
dependent relatives of those wAo had died.
IN 1859 retiring United States Judges we're
granted pensions. In 1871 pensions were al
lowed to all who had served a certain
length of time during tho war with Great
Britain in 1872 and to their widows, IL
married before the treaty OF peace of 1874
10. In 1887 survivors of the Mexican War
were %pensioned. In 1890 the dependent PEN
sion act provided for all veterans incapaci-
tated for manual labor who had served
ninety days In the Civil War and had been
honorably discharged, and for their Wild
ows, children and dependent parents. BY
the act Of August s, 1892, all women en-
ployed by the Surgeon General of the army
as nurses during the Civil War for a period
of six months or more, and who were hon
orably relieved from such service, were
granted a pension provided they be unable
to earn a support. On March 16. 1904, a
ruling Of the COMMISSIONS of Pensions
made old age a sufficient qualification for
the pensioning of a veteran. Lastly the
law Of February 8 Of the present year,
1907, enacted that any person who served
ninety days or more In the military Tor
naval service of the United States during
the late Civil War. or sixty days in the
war with Mexico, and who has been honor
ably discharged therefrom, and who has
reached the age of 62 years or over, shall,
upon making proof of such facts according
to such rules and regulations as the Secre-
tary of the Interior may provide, be placed
upon the pension roll and be entitled to
receive a pension as follows: In case such
person has reached the age of 81 years, $2
per month; 40 years, S15 per month; 70
years or over, 500 per month; and such
pension shall commence from the date OF
the filing Of the application in the Bureau
of Pensions after the passage and approval
of this act."-Ed.]
