IS a single whole, a thing to be served not merely in its parts and IN
its separate interests, as the states are intended to serve it, but also

nation compact of rulers and ruled, moving together under those who

And vet only upon such a conception can an intelligent sense of
duty be based. Genuine patriotism cannot be based upon a sense OF

BASED ONLY UPON A SENSE OF DUTY. And duty must

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Transact Public Business Openly.

Transact Public Business Openly.
There is one point in the first mes
sage of Mayor Haussling to Newark
city council which all friends of good
government will applaud. He says
he is opposed to the. transaction of
public business in private, and prom
ises to do all he car to bring about
the adjustment of secret sessions of
the several municipal boards and
their committees.
Star chamber proceedings are al
ways open to suspicion. The more
publicity in the transaction of public
business the less likelihood of scan
dial. Grating is seldom or never
practiced in the open. Committees
or boards that make a practice oil
meeting behind closed doors make
virtual confession that their prac-
tices are not such as the public would
approve.
Taxpayers naturally resent secret
manipulation of city affairs, through
which practice invariably has come
betrayal of the peoples interests, and
the system of graft which permeates
so many municipalities.-Camde

SATURDAY, JANUARY IL.
ASSESSING COAL IN STORAGE.

South Amboy has a great fight on
its hands in the appeal of the Sus-
uuehanna Coal Company against It's
tax assessment of $450,O00. The
company claims that the coal Is in
transit and is simply stored at South
Amboy for a week or two, while 1T
is being transferred from the mines
in Pennsylvania to the boats which
will take 1t down east. This being
so, the company declares, South Ann
boy has no more right to tax the coal
than any other town or city through
which the coal passes.
While there appears to be reason
Yin the company's contention, it new
Ttheless Is evident that all personal
roperty should be taxed somewhere,
and ms coal is SO classed by the
assessoH. 1t would follow, there
lore than the coal should be assessed
at Whatever place it is when the
assessmentNs made. II the coal COM
pany can prove that the coal in
question has already been assessed
and taxes have been paid upon IL,
South Amboy has no right to collect
a second tax.
The argument that the coal should
not be assessed because it is in tran
sit could as well apply to the mer-
chant keeping a corner grocery, who
is assessed and compelled to pay y
personal tax 0 his stock of groceries.
although the goods are merely stored
in his place of business for a few
weeks while being transferred from
the manufacturer to the consumer.
1T will be a big loss to South Am
boy should the railroad win its case.
One of the great evils in taxation has
always been that the little fellow
pays to the limit, while the big fell
not
low generally finds some way to es-
cape. This seems t. be the case
across the river, but it is to be
hoped there can be no escape this
time.

The Outlook For Aerial
Navigation Is Promising

B. ALEXANDER SKAaAr1 bLLL' AhVe"i u 'S A1"
Aw HE outlook for aerial navigation is growing brighter every
day. Just what it will eventually amount to is problem
~ atical now. However, the HARDEST PART of the diff
fcuhy has been overcome-that of really flying and prov
inc to the world that it is a reality The next stage is the studying
out of the problem of weight that can be carried. Ii the Wright
brothers are able to navigate the air with their structure bearing nearly
a ton, it seems that a greater weight CAN BE CARRED.
The carrying of fuel and supplies will have to be solved. 1imdHy
on the part of people might mitigate against the universal use of
Aying machines. Of course it will have to be proven conclusively that
they are safe PRACTICABLE before people will risk their
lives in them. This will take a lot of time. | do not look for the
establishment of an aerial navigation line across the country or from
here to Europe in a year or two. But then again neither did the peo-
pe half a century ago look for many Of the things we now have in
common use. For all that, I would not be surprised to see machines
Aying through space propelled by engines and steered at the will of
the driver, and going at a good clip, too, all WITHIN A FEW
YEARS.
WHAT PROFESSOR LANGLEY ACCOMPLISHED IN 1896 AND WHAT
THE WRIGHT BROTHERS AND SANTOS DUMoNT SUCCEEDED IN
DOING LAST YEAR CAN BE IMPROVED UPON THIS YEAR AND THE
WEAR AFTER UNTIL THE AERIAL MOTOR CAR WILL BE IN AS GEN.

Crudencss Too Evident.

1t may not have occurred to
Messrs. Morris, of Sussex; Pawelski,
of Passaic, and Firth, of Warren, that
they were elected to make laws and
that the securement of their share
of patronage vas so secondary a con-
sideration that their failure to secure
any would not have impaired their
usefulness as lawmakers. The hold-up
game so successfully worked by them
wasra very crude job and reflected
discreditably upon all of them.
Indeed, If the people of Sussex,
Passaic and Warren imagine as these
three of their representatives seem
to have done, that the %parceling out
of places for feeding from the public
crib is the most important duty of n
legislator, the legislature will be JUS
tilted in making extra appropriations
for educational purposes in these
counties.
The democratic majority in the
house is very narrow. These three
men knew it, and deliberately threat
ened to prevent organization unlesN
they were given the pie" they longed
for. 1t mattered not to them that
the yielding to their demands made
necessary the exceeding of the statu-
tory appropriation for legislative ex-
penses. They were after loot, de-
termined to have it, and they got it.
Folk down this way like to look on
legislators as self-sacrificing patriots,
and it causes a distinct shock for
them to discover here and there a
mere mercenary among them.-Tren-
ton True American.

The Perils of Child Labor

BY United States Senator A. j. BEVERIDCE of indiana
AMw HE purpose of the republic is to produce a BETTER TYPE
of manhood and womanhood, and any industrial system
which robs children of the right to become better men and
women is A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY and
treason against liberty
And vet such a scheme is in operation in this hour. Not only is
the deliberate manning of infant bodies and the deliberate poisoning
of YOUNG CHARACTER being committed, but in the committing
Of that ofense against God and man an even greater crime is being
committed against free institutions themselves.
FOR WE ARE POURING INTO AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP A STREAM
or POISON WHOSE DEADLY EFFECT WILL BE INCREASINGLY FELT
RY THIS REPUBLIC AS TIE DECADES PASS.
For all of these children who are not actually put into their graves
and who reach mature years become unthinkng enemies Of society,"
irreconcilable enemies, too, because the wrong done them CAN
NEVER BE UNDONE or its cost repaid. All of them, in
comparing themselves with other young men and young women,
clearly see, and even more feel, that they ay inferior-inferior an
body and intelligence, intellect and character and soul; not infe3or
naturally, but MADE INFERIOR by the industrial bondage of
their infancy.

The

KEITH & ~PROCTOR'S.
Fifth Avenue.

The importance of Keith & Proc
tors circuit of vaudeville houses is
effectually illustrated in the efforts
of the stars of the legitimate stage,
when contemplating a touh in vaude-
vile, to make their debuts in a Keith
& Proctor house. Apart from the
prestige gained on a tour of this
grand circuit are the MARTIAL benefits
which accrue from a grand consecu-
tive tour of fifty weeks or more,
which may be arranged only through
B. F. Keith's booking offices. No less
an important figure than George AIDE,
the humorist of the newest type, is
seeking vaudeville as an outlet for
his prolific productions. One of the
best of his one-act plays is 'sMarse
Coyington," written specially for pro-
duction' al a Lambs Gambol and ORR
ginally produced by Wilton Lackaye
and other stars of the Lambs Cub
at a private gambol last spring. Ed
ward Connolly, well known as a
clever character actor in Weber's and
other Broadway productions, has Sc
cured 'Marse Covington,' and will
produce it for the first time in vau-
deville at Keith & Proctor's Fifth
Avenue, January IA. On the opening
nightsG George AIDE himself will direct
its nFoduction, and this means an
aope1lng''s Of much eclat. In the cast
