PERSONALITIES IN POLITICS.

A Pennsylvania judge has just de-
cided in a case before him that even a
candidate for office ought not to be at
tackled falsely, but when a mar seeks
votes he certainly invites their very
frank criticisms, and if he does not like
that sort of thing he had better remain
in privacy. This is in the spirit of the
law and public policy.
Criticism to amount to anything must
be fair and pertinent. When it attacks
a candidate on account of his grand
father or Tugs up a childhood indis-
erection, or places a sinister meaning on
acts or motives without just reason, or
twists and d~istorts facts to a candi-
dates disadvantage, it is dishonest and
deserves to be outlawed. Personal att
tacks upon political candidates are,
happily, rare nowadays. and when they
appear they are more likely to excite
sympathy than the rancor they are in
tended to create.

H VANCOUVER RIOTS.

The riotous attacks upon Japanese
and Chinese at Vancouver, British Co.
lumbia. by mobs of white mep could
have been foreseen. The popular feel
ing against HI wholesale Importation
of Asiatic cheap labor is just as strong
in the British Northwest as on our Pa
cihc slope, and there is reason for this
feeling. The only purpose served by
importing Asiatics is the procurement
of seryile labor at less than half the
cost Of native white labor. The newt
able result of this importation must be
to degrade white labor to the level of
the Asiatic, besides introducing name
less Asiatic vices and creating an
Asiatic state on the Pacific coast.
The United States was saved from
calamity by the Chinese exclusion law
signed by President Hayes against the
sentimental protests of various evangel-
ical bodies. But for that law the great
majority of our population west of the
Rocky Mountains would be Asiatic to-
day, n every city in the land would
have a formidable Chinatown problem
on it's hands.
The Japanese coolie is not any moro
acceptable to America than the Chi
nese. He is excluded by law from th'
United States, and always will be, de
spite Japanese buster, and if England
wants to retain Canada Northwest sh'
will also have to shut out Asiatic labor
That is what the riots at Vancouvei
mean. Meanwhile it will be interesting
to watch the attitude of Japan in thil
matter. If the smashing of the win
dows of a Japanese restaurant in Call
fornia was an international incident Z
be noticed automatically, how shall
this occurrence at Vancouver be re
garded?

IN IERsEY CrrY TODAY.

No matter whether the Dickinson
tribe or the Pagan tribe shall prevail
in the Jersey City primaries the cry
of fraud will be raised. Dickinson is
making the fight of his life and he rs
not missing any chances. Pagan is
utilizing every possible means to carry
the primaries. Feeling runs high and
if the polls close without physical col
lisions the two party combatants will
have exercised great self-restraint.
Contrasted with this is the beautiful
and almost seraphic harmony that
must prevail to the end in the Demo-
cratic primaries. No contention, no
disorder, all of one mind, and many
Democrats. perhaps, contributing their
votes to the Republican ballot boxes,
with the object of helping the Republic
cans nominate-some say Mitchell and
others say Pagan.

THE FEMININE sMueGLER.

1t is said by custom house officers
that the most inveterate smugglers are
the women They have more trouble
with the sex, all ages and conditions
in life, than with the men, who greatly
outnumber women in transatlantic
travel. The dressmaker who goes
abroad to order new styles makes a
business of cheating the customs, and
it appears hat her operations in that
line have been generally successful up
to last Sunday. when a lot of dress
makers came in on the French liner
La Savoie loaded with fine dresses,
laces, etc, and had to surrender forty
trunks and their precious c%ontainings to
the customs officers.
This sharp lesson will be a check on
commercial smuggling, u he female
tourist will not cease to stow dutiable
things in her trunks or bestow them
on her person and then calmly tell the
inspectors on this side that she has
nothing dutiable. That is considered
perfectly legitimate and altogether
lovely.

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1907.
now STATE REVENUE MAY SHRINK

The apprehension of some State
~f1nanciers hat the States large reve-
nue. from taxes on the franchises of
the miscellaneous corporations was of
a temporary character and would soon
be greatly reduced. has not yet been
verified. From the assessments this
year the State will collect a tax of at
least s2,225, 900. and probably much
more.
But a general dissolution of the
largely capitalized trusts, most of
which are chartered in New Jersey.
would certainly tend to a very con-
siderable s%hrinkage in the tax
1t would scatter the constituent COM
panies and the capital among all the
States, as there would then be no OBJ
ject in an Incorporated under New
Jerseys elastic laws. Within from two
to five years the States revenue from
miscellaneous corporations might be re-
dueed by one-half.
1t is not the number or corporations
but the amount of capital that pro-
duces the largest tax The great bulk
OF the States revenue is paid by a
small percentage of the corporations
assessed, and these latter are the crea-
ton of the last few years. In 1890
before the trust era set in, the total
assessment was s574,00o. whereas last
year IL was 49, SIG, 2e2, six times greater.
These figures do not represent in either
case the actual amount of tax paid.
The largest annual assessment increases
began in 1900. with $715,S72 for that year,
and since that year there has been a
total Increase of nearly a million and a
half in the assessments. If we shall
go back to the revenue of 1900 it will
mean the loss of at lYst a million in
the annual State income.

INCREASING LAND VALUES.

The extraordinary rise in the value
of real estate in and around Greater
New York is shown in the increase in
real estate assessed in Brooklyn for
this year. The tax board reports the
increase in the assessed value of real
estate to be $501, 9e3, 1857, of which $685.
375, 700 is of special franchises assessed
by the State board, &c., 21, lis on the
real estate of corporations and $S77,-
$50, 542 on ordinary real estate.
AS the report says, "the assessed
value of land, exclusive of i'm
provements, in the city of New
York is greater than the as
sessed value of all the real
estate, improvements included. in the
state of Pennsylvania, and nearly
twice as great as the value of all the
real estate. including Improvements,
in the State of New York outside the
city" The report further shows that
the assessed value of the land of
six square miles of Manhattan in the
~neighborhood of Central Park is
greater than the assessed value of all
the real estate in the State of Mis-
souri,. Some of this value is bound to
be reflected in the values of all real
estate adjacent to New York city,
and it will be very large in New Jer-
sey after the Hudson River tunnels
are in oneration.

R1F1EMEN AT OYSTER BAY.

The splendid work done by the
American team in winning the Palma
trophy in the international shoot, at
Ottawa. on Saturday. well merjted the
congratulations given to the winning
team by the President, at Oyster Bay,
yesterday. The robust interest Presi-
dent Roosevelt takes in rife shooting
is well known. He believes, with every
American who has red blood in his
veins,' that rifle craftsmanship should
be a national accomplishment, and
that training with the rifle should
begin with the boy. An effeminate or
tiulid sentiment is opposed, but ma
tons naturally do not turn 10 their
weaker elements, but to the strong md
virile. Rifle practise will become part

The sudden projection of the name
of Congressman Fowler, of the fifth
district. into the Republican guberna-
torial situation lacks the impelling
fierce of any popular demand, even in
the Congressman's home county, Union,
which is entirely innocent of the boom.
Mr.. Fowler has been criticised by his
constituents for his frequent failure to
answer roll-calls at Washington, and
he failed to carry Union in the last
election for Congressman. 1t does not
appear that he will have a delegate
in Union. If the idea is to groom a
dark horse for the finish race some
man nearer to the people and better
known personally outside of the Fifth
Congressional District should be fixed
on.

Congressman Fowler has his lightning rod out in the hope
that the warning factions may see in him a candidate to unite
the party. He is on very friendly terms with Governor Stokes
and most of the State leaders, with the exception of Senator
Kean. If the Kean machine is able to hold its own in Union
County, which is also the home of Congressman Fowler, the
latter would have difficulty in getting the requisite. home in
ldorsement. With that obstacle overcome he might capture the
nomination. About his ability as a campaigner there is no
question whatever. He is one of the most energetic and popu-
lar platform takers in New Jersey, but has lost prestige re-

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Please inform a layman about the tech
nical classification of warships, and oblige,
w. A.. c..
IBattleships are heavily armored vessels,
carrying large and heavy guns. whose de-
fensive and offensive qualities are more
important than their speed, though speed
is not neglected. Cruisers have greater
speed; il they are armored, they may APP
proach the battleship in fighting value; IL
protected. they carry armore decks over
the most vulnerable parts; If unprotected,
they depend on their guns and speed for
safety. Monitors are low-lying vessels of
comparatively little speed, with revolving
~turrets, wherein their heavy guns are
placed; they are principally for harbor de-
Tense. Gunboats are small cruisers. Tor
pedo boats are very fast, low-lying YES
sells. armed principally with torpedoes;
~torpedo-boat destroyers are larger and
faster torpedo boats, usually with heavier
guns. Corvettes were smaller wooden yes
sells, smaller than frigates. Dispatch boats
are any swift vessels used for carrying dis
patches.-Ed.1

themselves. He is giving-litle attention to the matter himself

In the event of Judge Fort failing to receive the necessary
home Endorsement TO whom shall the delegates turn1 To Judge
.Pitney? He has many elements of strength, but there is no
sign yet of any movement towards him; Mercer County would
be decidedly hostile and there are other spots where opposition
would be sure to develop. Gilbert Co1insa Governor Stokes,
Col. Sam Dickinson and Asa Francis are the only persons of
influence who have expressed a preference for him, but the
Governor might be able to coax others into the Collins camp
if the conditions seemed proptious.
1t may be taken for granted that the Republican regulars
will control the State Convention and that they won't permit
the nomination of Sheriff Somner. If the Sheriff succeeds in
4compelling the Convention to adopt the principles for which he
is battling he will probably be more than satisfied. And it
isn't impossible that he may be able to say who shall be the

There is no known method by which one may compute in
advance the strength of the Colbyites, but so far as surface
indications go there will be a big vote poned in Essex for
Frank H. Sommer. He makes friends and supporters wherever
he goes and meets people face to face. Unless, however, his
missionary work has achieved much more than seems possible
in the short period of its continuance he will fall short of a
majority in the county Unless the swiseacres are astray Som
mr will, haven about 100 of the 237 delegates. He will carry

nearly all the old 1eutenants of Major Carl .Lentz, though the
Major himself is for Pitney and he doesn't care who knows it.
But the Major isn't hustlng nor is he trying to aid the cleo

S BATTLE At THE PRMARIes-R0RT or A DARK HoRsB7

This time tomorrow we shall all know about things polih-
cal a lot more than we now think we know. It is always
easier to prophesy the day after. Most of us consider our
selves very wise chaps. Yesterday, even today, you could find
a number of persons disagreeing absolutely about the results of
the primaries. and each willing to stake almost life itself on the
accuracy of his prediction. Personal inclinahons, environment
and associations have SO much to do with influencing our
judgment as to what is likely to happen. And a handful of
noisy takers in public places are apt to impress us while we
forget about the thousands who re sitting home quietly reading
their newspaper, thinking hard and saying little.
