THE NEXT CHANCELLOR.

Chancellor William j. Magic was
born December Q, 1882, and consequent
ly will be seventy-hve years old next
month. His term will expire on jan
uary IA next year, and as the term Is
seven years, he win, if r~eappointed, be
e~ighty-two a of age at the end Of
the new term. Evidently the learned
chancellor has reached the age limit,
and Governor-elect Fort. who will have
the appointment of his successor, may
decide to name another lawyer. Prob
ably Chancellor Magic does not desire
a reappointment.
Chancellor Magic was first appointed
a Supreme Court Justice by Governor
Mcclellan in 1880. and in 1897 Governor
Griggs named him as chief justice to
succeed the venerable Mercer Beasley.
In 1900 Governor Voorhees, appointed
him to the CHARACTERISTIC to succeed
Alexander t. McGill. He has been ar
able. digniied and just judge and the
peer of the seven distinguished chan
cellors who preceded him since the
office was separated from the Office Of
Governor.

aovERNMENT oREpIr HELPS.

The government is acting with
promptitude and vigor in aid of the
financial interests for the restoration
Of the currency, which has been so
greatly depleted by unconscionable
boarding. The communication by the
President to the Secretary of he
Treasury, approving his plan of issuing
$780, 900, 900 of Panama bonds and $780,
600. 900 of $50 interest-bearing notes. is
admirable in tone. The President re-
cites a few familiar facts showing the
vast and unbounded pros
perity of the country, and appeals to
the common sense of the frightened
sheep who have made all the trouble
by their poltroon fears.
In carrying out its plan the govern
ment simply lends its magnificent
credit to the nations business interests.
The most ignorant and cowardly owner
Of money will not question hat. Hun
dreds of millions of currency is now
hidden away il all kinds of places and
earns no income, and this money Is a
burden and anxiety to the hoarders. A
government bond or an interest-pay-
ing government note will be all the Sc
curity asked, and the timid investor
will be glad to purchase these securi-
ties, and will feel hat they are now
kept them awake o. nights. With the
subscriptions to the bonds and notes
deposited by the government in the
banks the money will be automatically
added to the circulation, and in all
probability end a severely strained sit
uafion.

Not "~Catchine.v

A woman who was formerly a kinder
garten teacher, but who at present is con-
nected with a hospital in West Philadel-
phia in the capacity of nurse, tells the
following story of an experience she had
with one of her tots while .instructing a
class in a small village In New York:
THE rules Of the school require that when
a child reports n case of illness in the
family the teachers shall find out whether
such illness is contagious or not, and 1t IS
usually necessary to send the pupil home
for a statement of facts. One of my
charges was a small boy of whom l was
very fond because of his unusual intelli-
gence for so young a pupil. One morning
l did not notice him in his seat. ] asked
the other children If they knew why he
was absent and l learned that his mother
was Ill abed. Later the boy himself came
to school and reported that his mamma was
sick, but 1t wasn't catching. h won't
do I replied. You must go home and find
out, then tell me just what is the matter

right after the election that Frank s..
Katzenbach had carried the Fourth
Congressional District, comprising Mer-
GER, Hunterdon and Somerset counties,
by a large majority, and it was sug-
gested to the Democrats of that district
that Katzenbach would be an available
candidate for Congress mex year. This
suggestion has been taken up in Hun
terdon with some enthusiasm. The
present Congressman is Ira w. Wood,
who will be renominated by the Repub-

Fair-weather Friend.

1 met a gentleman b seemed
As nice as he could be,
While l could do him any good
He was a friend to me.
But when | wouldn't boost his game
He rose and took his hat
And made himself exceedingly scarce.
We've all had friends like that.
He stuck to me like liquid glue
AS long as I would buy,
Laughed at the ancient jokes ] told
And doomed me to the sky.
When my resources vanished and
My money ceased to talk,
He folded up his tents and things
And straightway took a walk.
That is the way too oft, alas
With some fair weather friends;
They hang around us like a cloak
When we can serve their ends,
But when no longer we produce
As once we used TO do,
They straightway rise and shake them
selv,
And fit to pastures new.
Give me the friend who doesn't make
Too much Of a parade,
But who is there where you're in need,
A very present5aid.
Who comes when you are in the dumps
And nc relief can see,
And gently says, "Cheer up, old man,
And kindly draw on me-"

rHE OPERA SEASON.

The opening of the Metropolitan
Opera House season last night was
ever more brilliant than the opening
night at the Manhattan two weeks
ago. Notwithstanding that the class of
people who are relied upon to support
opera have sustained heavy losses of
late in Wall Street, the patronage Of
the two houses, which vas so large
last season, promises to continue UNI
abated. New York must have its
opera at any cost and under any cir
cumstances, and it is the only city In
the world that, without a government
subsidy. can support two great opera
houses.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1907.
FOR SPRING ELECTIONS.

Municipal home rule means some-
thing besides the legislative right for
a municipality to regulate its w af-
fairs. 1t means, also, that municipal af-
fairs shall not be mixed up with State
and national affairs in an election.
Consequently the municipal election
should be apart from the general cleo
ton n be held in the spring, six
months before State and national
issues become prominent.
Municipal government is a business
proposition. The municipal depart
ments are to be maintained and paid
for. the schools are to be supported, the
streets paved and cleaned, the water
supply managed and other affairs adj
ministered. All this is business, and
It means a greater or less cost to the
taxpayer who foots all the bills. Par
tisan politics should have little sway in
municipal affairs, and while the local
election can never be entirely Invested
of partisan politics it can be decided on
local issues only and in accordance
with the best judgment of the COM
munity.
When the demand was made upon
the Legislature to restore spring cleo
tions it vas met with a proposition
for a constitutional amendment max
ing radical changes in New Jerseys
legislative system and establishing BIZ
ennial sessions of the Legislature.
That proposition nay as we'll be dis
missed. 1t could not be carried into
effect. anyhow. for FIVE years, n it
would never be adopted by the people.
The plain and simple way for separate
municipal elections is to repeal the
anti-spring election laws, and that a
be done within a period of a week at
the next session of the Legislature.

MULTIPLYING STOCKHOLDERS.

Cl~ear-headed people of moderate
means who have savings to invest are
picking up the rare bargains that are
lying around loose in the stock mar
ket, and they could not make better
permanent investments. As a result,
the number of shareholders of the
large railroad corporations has in
creased surprisingly.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has added 1000 new shareholders in
six months, while the shareholders Of
the New York Central have doubled
in number. Reading shareholders have
increased more than 1000 since Octo-
Der 1; Northern Pacific over 5000, and
other great railroads in corresponding
numbers, while Amalgamated Copper
has gained 5000 since the dividend was
declared in August. This wide dis
tribution of stocks goes on apace, and
it is a beneficent result of the stock
situation in Wall Street.

Work and Worry.

Perhaps the most prevalent cause of
worry is overwork. The vaulting ambition
that overreaches itself and falls on the
other side is far too common especially in
his country and among business and pro-
fessional men. The overworked man is
liable to become nervous, is easily put out,
is impatient with his friends, and says
things he worries about afterwards. A dis
tinguished nerve specialist recommends
that the nervous man should try in every
way through suitable food and throuxl
systematic periods of rest to carry a com
Portable amount of fat. Men that are
fat, sleeS-headed men and such as sleep o.
nights" are panoplied for the battle of life.

MARrrN FOR LEADER.

AS leader of the Republican majority
in the House, Assemblyman Martin
will be an active, ready and resource
full man. He never loses his head, and
probably has no superior as a parlia-
m%entarian in the Legislature. A man
trained by several years of service in
the Newark Common Council must
needs be a pretty good legislator, and
Mr.. Martin has been a foremost man

After the solemn farce of The Hague
Peace Conference comes the announce
ment that Germany will increase her
naval program to provide for building
nine Dreadnoughts by 1913 and seven
teen by 1919. Great Britain will build
an even greater number of battleships
of the same or a larger type. Germany
will spend SIT. 500, 900 more each year
than was contemplated in her naval
program. Those peace advocates in
this country who have been so en-
thusiastic over The Hague Conference
and so greatly opposed to naval in

understanding that had been hardening
into a danger-laden e~strangement.
Then Taft went to Manila. He delivered
a message of enlightenment that no Other
man living could have delivered. For Taft
is the one American whom the Filipinos
trust implicitly. And he sent back to this
country news of measurement for the
future that no other man could have sent

1t was objected that the men would be

wishes Of the men themselves. The colonel

OUR ovER-oFFIcERED STATE GUARD

It is a well-known fact that the State
Guard is top-heavy with officers. The
guard consists only of five regiments Of
infantry, two troops of cavalry, two
light batteries and a signal corps, equal
to a little more than a brigade, and yet
1t has a complement of officers that is
formidable.
There are nine brigadier-generals, two
of them commanding brigades, and
seven members of the general staff, and
one major general. There are five colo
nels in command of regiments and nine
colonies doing staff duty. The assort-
ment of Northumberland is of CORE
spending size. If the object of all this
multiplicity of generals and colonies
was to train officers for active service
in time of war 1t would be well enough,
but TIE staff officers receive little or no
training in field duty and their rank is
a mere ~pageantry.
The Dick law, which the State has
now adopted, reduces the official force
of the State Guard, both in the staff
and the line, to the standard of the
regular army. There will be reductions
in rank for a number of officers who are
to be retained. With fewer officers the
State Guard will appear more soldier
like and will certainly be more efficient.

Secretary Taft evidently proposes to
avoid official courtesies in Europe on his
return. Leaving st. Petersburg De-
cember 5, he will take the steamer at
Hamburg two days later, and will
therefore not visit Berlin or Paris or

why the Secretary should make any
official calls at European capitals. He
Is not charged with any European mis-
sion and he has finished the important
business that took him to the Far East.
Secretary Taft will doubtless receive a
warm welcome when he lands in New
