the retail price Of a piece of pie was
doubled This is a sad blow at the
great American pie industry and is es-

the price of beans in Boston remains
within the reach of the common peo-

II il rare day when some enter

great northwestern part of the country
does not think up some original
scheme to keep their section before the
ewes of the world The latest is from
the Spokane chamber Of commerce ana
is, n scheme for the erection of new
state. to be composed Of the northern
part OF Idaho, the western part OF
Montana ana the eastern parts OF
Washington and Oregon. In neat
little pamphlet the scheme is set form
in very plausible fashion and no end OF
arguments are advanced why the new
state should be erected The present
boundary lines, ii is claimed, are
wholly unnatural and result in a great
Inconvenience for the people in the
section involved and also cause no end
Of political rivalry and Jealousy be
tween the people of northern ana
southern Idaho ami the people in the
eastern and western parts OF Montdild'
Washington and Oregon. To AVOID
the present conflict of interests within
the existing states and to bring people
together who have already an identity
of business and political interests. 1t IS
proposed to erect this inland empire
between the Rocky and Cascade mouil-
tans into state by itself. 1t is eX-
pected that there will be strenuous OPP
position from the existing states, al
though one would think to read the
pamphlet referred to that everything
is smooth sailing. The plan may be
realized sometime but it is likely to be
a long time in the future.

The Death of Justice Woodland.

Associate Justice Woodland, who has
died after a service of only six months
as a member of our highest court, was
not widely known to the people OF
Maine nor had he served long enough
TO demonstrate the exceptional judicial
ability ana the wide knowledge
Of the law which his associates re-
cogniZcd and which made his appoint
ment to the bench one Of unusual
merit. Nevertheless so warm and
sincere are the tributes paid his
him that we all realize in measure
the great loss which the bench Of
Maine has sustained and deplore the
death Of one who had deservedly won
such high honors.
Justice Woodland was a native of
Bangor and there all the 80 years of
his life We're spent except those of his
college course at Harvard. part of
his law studies We're in the office of
John A. Peters who later became the
beloved chief justice Of Maine. Since
1872 he has been a number of the
PrnObscot bar, winning a place as one
of its leading members and twice be-
ing offered place on the bench before
from Governor Cobb last December.
He never held public office, but de-
voted himself to his profession until
he built up one Of the largest practices
in the State and gained a reputation
second to none at the Maine bar.
Justice Woodland was a good citizen
ana AN honest man. With his ability
there We're courage and mOdesty
and kindly sympathies. Maine joins
Bangor in honoring his memory.
With one exception the service of
Justice Woodland on the Supreme
bench was shorter than that of any of
the more than 40 men who have been
honored with appointments to this
State. He was appointed December
= 1906, and died June Il, 1907, maxi
ing the length of his term six months
ana 10 days. The only shorter term
wa; that Of Edward Fox Of Portland
who was appointed October "a. 1862,
and resigned March q. 1868. making
his term five months and three days.

CIVIL SERVICE LAW sNAGs.

We have probably seen the end of the
year. Senator Colby abandoned his bill
to its fate when he went abroad, and a
milder bill has beer killed in the AS
sembly after 1t had been well mutilated.
The truth of the matter is that there
has been no public demand for such a
law at this time, while neither the Re-
publican nor the Democratic organiza-
ton wants such a law.
There are reasons. In the first place,
judging by the revelations of the AS
sembly investigation, people are not
altogether sure that the men who are
now in Office, and who would be pro-
tected from removal by a civil service
law, are just the kind of men that
ought to stay in office. That doubt is
widespread, and it indisposes the aver
age citizen to see a law of that kind
passed Just now. The political world
in New Jersey may be divided into two
great tribes, the Ins and the Outs. The
ms naturally favor a law to secure
their tenure of office, and the Outs are
naturally opposed because such a law
would debar them from Office.
There is another sentiment opposed to
any kind of perpetuity in public Office
as tending to create a bureaucracy.
Then, again, it is commended that us all
government in this country is by party
a party administrator coming into
power and responsible for government
should have the choice of its official
machinery. Governor Stokes has warm
ly favored a civil service law, but there
are obstacles to the enactment Of such
a law which he cannot well overcome.

THE CHEWING GUM EVIL.

The report that chewing gum is now
under the ban in Ocean Grove and that
the sale Of that deleterious compound
is prohibited was easily credible. There
has always been a ban against liquors
and tobacco in Ocean Grove, though
it's enforcement has at times been very
lax. Chewing gum has always been
sold, and the victims of the habit are
nearly all females, which makes the
sale Of the stuff all the more objec-
tionable. The authorities have been
curiously delinquent in being so long
Indifferent to the chewing gum evil,
for 1t has been in plain evidence on
every side. In every gathering in the
Auditorium the speakers on the plat
form have been confronted by hum
dreds Of fair c-ountenances distorted
by actively working jaws, while the
boardwalk in the promenade hours
has been fairly redolent of the fumes
of chewing gum. But it is to be hoped
that Ocean Grove has awakened to its
duty, and just at the time, too, when
it's worldly and wicked neighbor.

PUBLIC CARE FOR NEwARK's chill,
DREN.

Newark originated the plan of
summer schools. At it's inception and
for some time afterward there was the
usual criticism by individuals who had
various reasons to urge against sum-
mer schools, but the success of the plan
silenced these c~avilers. The schools
have developed in duties as well as in
number and they have become a nec-
essary part of our common school sys-
tenn.
Yesterday began the summer term Of
six weeks and coincidently the
various children's Fairgrounds were
opened for the thousands of little
ones who are debarred from the joys
of the seashore and mountain. Today
a second batch of children go to New
ark's camp by the seashore. probably
the only institution of the kind in the
United States, for a weeks outing.
We nave made good progress in the
work of betterment of the conditions
for the youth of our city.
Newark was the first city in New Jer-
sey to establish night schools; 1t showed
the way to all cities in the institution
of summer schools; it's summer camp
by the sea is a unique experiment, and
1t has organized a Fairgrounds COM
mission with a view TO establishing an
ideal system of Fairgrounds and recre-
alton centres. What our city may lack
in some essential respects. it bravely
makes up in other very important
ways.

FOR 1rD1v1DUA1 RESPONSIBILITY

Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton uni
verslty, talks in a refreshingly diff
ferent strain from that of Chancellor
Day, of Syracuse University. The lat
ter at every public opportunity slob-
beers praise of the predatory barons of
finance and utters d-enunciations of
public men like President Roosevelt,
who would circumscrfbe their per-
nicious activities. Woodrow Wilson
says in his vigorous way:
lone really responsible man in jail.
one real originator of the schemes and
transactions which are contrary to the
public Interest legally lodged in the
penitentiary, would be worth more
than a thousand corporations mulcted
in fnes.'' There can be no doubt of
that.
What this country needs, say Wood
row Wilson, SIS not government owner
ship of railroads, but laws that will at
tack and punish presidents and gen.
eral managers of railroads for eva
sions and violations of the statutes"
individuals should be prosecuted and
punished. When corporations are in
dicted and convicted and fined, the
stockholder, who may be unconscious
and innocent. is mulcted. The indi-
vidual officer or director is punished
only by probably a slight loss in the
dividends on the stock he owns.
"Single out the individuals" says
Woodrow Wilson. The corporation has
no soul to chastise. Our statute laws
are wrongly constructed in placing the
criminal responsibility for violations
of the law by corporation officers al
most wholly upon the corporation it.
