While the Legislature is in session it might address a polite
and respectful inquiry to Chancellor Magic as to whether he in
tends to appoint the State Directors of Insurance. Governor
Stokes declined the honor of making the appointments, and it
was thrust upon the Chancellor without any consultation with
him. If be still declines to act it will be up to the Legislature
to pass a supplementary law naming the directors.

The occurrence on the Thames racing
course seems to suggest that Mr.. Harri-
man Is not hampered by any greater
sense of delicacy IN his personal relations
during his moments of relaxation than in
his Wall street maneuvers. He plowed
into the wake of the racing boats, know
ing that it was not permitted, doubtless
expecting immunity. Though frequently
warned to stop, he kept On. And when
arrested he had the effrontery to an
nounce to the officer who was responsible,
'I1l see you later, young man. The
threat implied was the most offensive part
of the whole proceeding.
To humble the pride of such a, man on
such ar occasion Is refreshing to the
American people. 1t is another reminder
that in all the relations of life that are
touched by the law citizens are still
equal. whether the matter in dispute be
the vast financial transactions of indus
trial leaders or merely the petty questions
of personal behavior that are settled in
the police court.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Frank Sommer isn't a candidate for Governor because he
wants the office or has any thought of using 1t for personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. And he'd probably be just as happy and as
vel, satisfied if some other man, believing in his political prin-
cipes, were chosen to lead the fight.

Why are such things possible in Paterson3 Why are gross
election frauds allowed to go unpublished Some of the brightest,
courageous and most philosophical men in the State live
in Paterson. Practically all of the newspapers are strenuous
advocates of clean, high-class government and decent politics.
Yet there is something lacking. For instance read this from
the Paterson News:
"Why can Passaic support an active and aggressive Board
of Trade when it has only about one-third the population of
Paterson and not a quarter of the wealth that Paterson has ?
The answer is easy. Passaic has a large number of residents
are full of local pride and are willing to devote their time
and money in the effort to boom Passaic and make it a better
to live and do business in. With greater material adj
vantages Paterson seems to lack this element of local pride and
public spirit
If the newspapers were properly backed up by the professional
and business men who want to better conditions in their city,
Paterson would soon take front rank among the municipalities
the State for healthy local pride and high standard in
public affairs.

Cyncs and scofers tell us that those Peace Conferences
won't do any good. They are mistaken. The conference now
on is proving a perfect godsend to the hotels and restaurants
at The Hague. A frugal lunch, we are told, costs about 81. so,
and it is impossible to live at a hotel for less than $40 a day.
Some of the bonfaces and caterers over there must have had
experience in this country, in Chicago or elsewhere, during a
National Convention.

Interest is waning in the two riddles re-

was followed by the inquiry. What is a
Republican? and the answers have been
more numerous than illuminating. Still
the search for light should go on. What
is a populist? Consider how much Of pop

leadership has appropriated, and h shall
say how much of the original article re-
mains? And what, besides a Hearstite,
Is an independence Lacquer? A great cam
paign Is approaching, and the flags will
soon be flying. What really do they stand
for? How is the average voter to know

where he really belongs? He wants to
know. He wants to help save the coun
try. But today he Is in a maze both as
to where he is and what he should do.-

There was a paragraph in this column the other day about
men who seek and use public Office to further their private.
business interests. Paterson furnishes a few glaring examples
According to the Cali of that city two local Aldermen are in
the moving picture show business, and as the licensing authority
rests with them they calmly shut the door in the face of would
be competitors.
Then, too, it seems that some of the Aldermen are in the
bothing business. After getting their own licenses at a low
figure they promptly raised the rate SO as to keep Others out.

The scorcher and the Constable.

The ScOrcher and the Constable.
Common sense should always be used in
the enforcement of law n the trouble
with too many country constables is their
absolute lack of common sense. Too often
the constable arrests the man who is driv-
ing his car along a country road at a
speed only slightly in excess of the legal
limit. while the same official stand aghast
at the motor car that whizzes by him
at the rate of a mile a minute. If this
speeder is from outside the State and gets
away. the constable is powerless, while the
victim residing within the State and at
nest a technical violator of the law must
suffer. We greatly need some power to
restrain both the scorcher and the con-
stable. We need more sense on both sides,
not more law.-Springield Union.

As a rule the Paterson Aldermen have not been noted for
missing any opportunities to make hay while in the sunshine of
public office, but the cases just mentioned show a brazenness
and hardihood that argues moral ~strabismus. In the first place
they must be ignorant not to know that they are violating the
criminal law in voting licenses to themselves. And they have
queer conception of their official obligations when they use
the powers conferred on them by the people to give special
privileges to themselves and penaize their competitors in bust
ness. Of course the people who elect such men are primarily
to blame. But for years they went on electing them, and
then, when the burden became into1erable, ran to Trenton for
legislation to strip the worthy City Fathers of most of their
power. How the Aldermen are using what is left to them is
apparent.

President Truesdales latest letter to East Orange folk in
dicates that he has learned considerable as to the best means
of dealing with municipalities. Courtesy, a willingness to be
reasonable, to meet and discuss in friendly spirit questions at
issue-these things the Lackawanna President will find more
productive of results than lecturing and bulldozing.
