THE NEXT STATE SENATE.

The loss of a Republican Senator in
Ocean County seems likely. Senator
shinn is energetically opposed by the
best Republican papers of the county
and by a large element of the party,
the vote of which will go to his Demo-
cratic opponent if he does not with
draw. The Senate now stands fifteen
Republicans to five Democrats, Sena-
tor Minturn having resigned. Hudson
will elect a Democratic Senator and
the Democrats will make an unex-
pected gain in Ocean. Wakelee has a
hard row to hoe in Bergen and his
defeat is not improbable.
In the four other counties to elect
Senators this year the Republicans
have all the better chances. If the
Democrats carry Hudson, Ocean m
Bergen the next Senate win stand thir-
teen Republicans to eight Democrats.
That will add interest to next years
Senate elections. Seven Republicans
and one Democrat will retire and the
Democrats will have to elect only four
TO get control of the Senate. They
will elect one in Warren and will take
chances in Essex, Monmouth, Union,
Camden, Salem. Somerset and Glouces-
ter for the other three.

Kntnenbach Mum.

[From the Plainfeld Courier-News. Repl
Candidate Katzenbach is studiously
avoiding all mention of the excise ques-
ton in his various utterances since his
nomination. On the other hand, John
Franklin Fort has taken no pains to con-
ceal his attitude on this momentous ques-
ton n has boldly asserted that he is
unalterably In favor of home rule. Long
before the date of the conventions of the
Republican and Demo cratic parties it was
the boast of the latter that the Repub-
leans had been placed in a most embar-
RAISING position on the liquor question
and that the Democrats alone were in a
position to assume the role of a Moses
n lead a long-suffering public out of
the wilderness in which they had been
piloted and there deserted by the Repub-
leans. Later events, however. go far
toward proving that Mr.. K~atzenbach is
too astute a leader to attempt to tackle
the problem and that 1t remains with the
Republicans to solve the puzzle, and this
they will do. Mr.. Fort has opened mis-
campaign. Former Governo r Murphy,
who has just succeeded Senator Briggs as
chairman Of the State Republican Com
mittee, has planned an itinerary for the
candidate which will practically cover
every corner of the State. From now on
it will be an arduous task the candidate
has cut out for himself, but this pro-
gram he will carry out In every detail,
adding votes to the Republican ranks
wherever he chances to visit.

guN1sHMENrs IN THE scHooLRooM.

Corporal punishment in the public
state. The law provides that even if
parents instruct teachers to administer
punishment to children, the instructor
has no right to infiict the same, and il
they do must suffer the consequences
of dismissal and revocation of certifi-
cate. Nor is the prohibition merely
upon the rattan. As defined by the law
and State Superintendent Baxter, "cor-
poral punishment is any form of pun
ishment by NEAR of which physical
pain is inflicted. 1t includes the phys
ical discomfort or WEAKNESS caused by
any unusual and sustained posture, as
well as the infection of pain by the
hand or by the use of a whip, rule or
rattan"
There are school teachers who would
like to see the law repealed, but the
consensus of ~pedagogic opinion is OPP
posed to corporal punishment. II all
teachers had the attributes of angels
the rod might be trusted to their hands,
but the inirmities of the temper are not
foreign to those who teach. Discipline
a be maintained among children in
schools without the infection Of phys
ical pain and without giving children
lessons in brutality. The rule of o
and kindness, the firmness that is
united with gentleness, the even temper
and kindly control can keep any school
room in order and subdue the most
truculent of children.

UnseIash a

President Samuel P. Colt, of the
United States Rubber Company, was
discussing in New York the amicable
trade agreement that has been made
between his firm and the international
Rubber Company.
TT is best" he said, for competitors
to agree to be fair and honest with one
another. and this agreement of ours is
a fair and honest one. 1t is not like
those wherein two rivals, while pre-
tending to be fair, yet knife one an
other continually in the back. Such
hypocritical agreements remind me of
two children-two little boys l know.
They were lunching, Billy and Jack,
and when the butler Drought on the
dessert 1t was seen that there was only
one orange in the fruit basket. In
~stantly Billy. h larger boy, set UP a
loud bawling.
Nov, what's the matter? said the
governess. What are you crying about,
Billy?'
cause there's no orange for Jack. =

INTEREST IN THE ELECTION.

There is never much popular interest
in politics until the October leaves be-
gin to fall. The shadows murmur but
the deeps are dumb. Primaries and
conventions are held, nominations are
made and political managers are alert,
but the electorate remains tranquil and
looks on in%differently. October brings
a gradual change. The candidates be-
gin to hustle, voters sit up and take
notice, and by and by a real interest
is aroused, eliminating in large meet
ings, excitement and some enthusiasm.
The greatest interest and the earliest
in the year to be manifested is that in
Presidential elections, as may be seen
by the great difference in the vote. In
the Presidential election in 1904 the
total poll in New Jersey was 4S2,547.
Last year the total vote was 1854, AGA.
This year, if no general apathy shall
prevail, the total vote will probably
reach the figure of 100000. 1t will not
approach the vote of 1904. Next year
hat vote will be exceeded and may
eac 100000.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER IS, 1907.
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE POLICE.

The law of the State forbids the speed
ing of automobiles in cities beyond a
moderate limit. Has his law been en-
forced in Newark? Have orders been
given to patrolmen to stop and arrest
violators? And how many arrests have
been made by the police in Newark?
Residents of North Broad street and
Washington avenue who see fast
driven machines, some of them without
lights. flash past their doors have won
dered. Some of them have made cor
paints, but nothing was done. .
Police Commission has received com
plants, but remained inactive. Com
plants have gone to police headquar-
ters, but the Police Commission had
given no orders and nothing was done.
1t is said that this official apathy has
an explanation in the fact that offend
.ers against the law are not infrequently
Influential citizens. 1t would not do to
hale before a court some man of politi-
cal or social prominence. Better let the
men, women and children of the city
lake their chances on the streets of
being run down by a recklessly speeded
machine.
Mayor Haussling proposes to investi-
gate the enforcement in Newark of the
automobile law. There will be plenty
Of testimony to the fact that there has
been no enforcement if citizens living
on the principal avenues leading out of
Newark will come forward and testify.
Patrolmen will tell hat they have had
no orders. The wonder really is that
the tragedy on Broad street last Thurs.
day afternoon has not been many times
repeated.

origin of Numerals.

To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
When did our common numerals first
come into use and what is known of their
origin? ID. r..
[The invention of the cipher or zero
and its addition to the nine significant
digits made possible the art of notation
by position, and that in turn made arith-
metic a modern possibility. Europe re-
ceived the benefit from the Saracen
philosophers in the twelfth century and
to the new arithmetic gave the name of
algorithm, q barbarous corruption of the
name of the ninth century mathema-
tician, Al-Kharizmi, who first taught che
system. The art made slow progress in
ages when the possession OF the mere
ability to read was so rare as to save
the neck of such as could plead the bene-
At of their clergy. and it cannot be found
in England until the fourteenth or hf-
teenth century. The first date expressed
in England in the Arabic numerals Is en-
the title page Of Cartons "Mirrour OF
the World in 1880. The first text book
on arithmetic printed in England was in
1922. 'De Arte Supputandi," by Bishop
TunstaJl. OF Durham. The Arabs are
known to have borrowed the form of the
digits from the Hindu system, but the
invention of the zero is sufficient to en-
title them to apply their name to the sys-
tenn of notation.-Ed.] =

A WRONG TO THE ARMY.

Surgeon-G General O'Reilly, in his re-
port to the War Department, attributes
the increase of alcoholic and vicious
diseases among soldiers to the abolition
of the army canteen. Soldiers, he says,
are driven, through the absence of post
exchanges, to questionable resorts
which are outside Of the posts and be-
yond the control of the army authori-
ties. The percentage of alcoholic cases
increased from 1922 per 1000 in 1905 to
1921. The surgeon-general confirms the
opinions of army officers generally.
When Congress weakly yielded to the
clamorings of a few noisy sentimental
lists, possessed of more zeal than knowl-
edge and judgment, it committed a
great wrong to the army and did a
great injury to public morals. The law
has increased assertions and SO greatly
reduced enlistments that many of the
companies are mere skeletons. And the
majority of the members of Congress
are too timid Of old women, prejudices
and crotchets to undo a palpable
wrong.

A new style of street car is to be
introduced in New York, and much
benefit is predicted for it. both to the
public and the traction company. The
passenger pays fare upon entering the
car, and this does away with the neces-
sity for the conductor to push his way
through a crowded a to make his
collections. He has the time to start
and stop the car and see that pas
sengers are not injured in getting on
or off. The car can also be more quick
ly vacated. To the company this means
an immense saving of fares that now
are not collected. The loss of fares on
crowded lines in Newark during rush
hours is very great, and If it could be
saved the Public Service Corporation
could well afford to put on the inn
proved car. The experiment in New
York will be watched by all traction
managers.

VIRTUE OF A STATE TAX.

AS Governor he Governor Franklin
Murphy made one blunder after an
other. even going so far, on one oc-
casion, as to recommend a direct tax
to pay the expense of the State gov
ernment.-Hudson Observer.
The particular 'blunder" pointed out
was no blunder at all. The reasons
presented by Governor Murphy 1t the
time were statesmanlike. The State
and other corporations to pay all the
cost of the State government. AS the
people do not feel the cost in their
tax bills, they are not as vigilant about
the conduct of State affairs as they
would otherwise be, and hence the
abuses that rave been revealed by the
Hahn investigation.
Governor Murphy's idea. was not to
clap a direct tax on the people in adj
dition to the present State incomes,
but to turn over to the taxing dis
tricts enough of hat income to equal
1HN U ifN ~ "
the people. By that plan the tax bill
of the citizen would not be any larger,
and the taxpayer would imbibe enough
interest in State government from his
tax bill to make him critical of State
government management and expendi-
lures. Whatever tends to interest the
citizen in public affairs, that does moi
at the same time add to his tax bur
dens, is good policy.
