Juggling IN ALL OTHERS.

The announcement by the counsel
for the Standard Oil Company that
evidence would be presented to the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
show that all large manufacturing and
railroad companies in the country have
violated the interstate laws
by accepting or giving secret shipping
rates is a strategic move intended to
embroil all other railroad and shipping
interests in the STANDARD Oil troubles.
1t imposes on the commission new and
almost overwhelming responsibilities.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad gave
away Standard Oil by the testimony
of it's officers and the evidence of it's
books. That railroad has had an i'm
munity bath and can't be gotten at.
But the Standard doesn't p any
longer to go it alone. 1t will show up
all the other sinners and bring them
into Judge Landis's court for fine. And
If the Standard counsel makes good,
the government may collect enough in
fines to pay the entire cost of the
Panama canal, with enough left to
build all the waterways the Memphis
convention will ask for.

The death of one of the contestants in
the twenty-four hour automobile race at
the Morris ark track. has again brought
wildly before the public mind the crimi-
nality Of holding contests of this class on
circular courses constructed primarily for
horse racing.
The tracks in his country which are at
present used for auto racing are altogether
unfit for it. They are dirt tracks, without
asphalt foundation, and the turns, which
are generally sharp, are not properly
banked for cars TO round at a mile-a-min-
ute gait. 1t is on the turns that most of
the accidents occur, as the skidding cars
tear up the track and it soon becomes like
freshly ploughed ground. A concrete or as
phalt sub-surface would improve the tracks
somewhat, as would proper banking at the
turns, but even with these changes the
sport would remain needlessly dangerous
and one which ought in the interests of
humanity to be abolished. Leading manu-
f~acturers are of the opinion that It does
the motor car industry more harm than
good.-New York Tribune.

Root In Mexico.

Secretary Roots visit to Mexico has
great possibilities of usefulness. In his
recent tour of South America he accom-
plished very much to bring about a bet
ter understanding between the Latin re-
publics and the United States, though
very much vet remains to be done in
that direction, as the attitude Of some of
the delegates at The Hague has shown.
With Mexico. as it now is, we never have
had any serious friction, but the actual
relations of the two countries have never
been as cordial as they ought to be. This
is largely a matter of popular sentiment,
which even Diaz and Root cannot control.
They can, however, exert much influence
on popular sentiment, and they may also
be able to promote some broad policy that
will bring the countries south of Mexico
into reasonable harmony with the idea

The particular object to be attained
by the delegates to the convention lin
session at Trenton today is the deepen
ing of the Delaware River from Tren-
ton to Philadelphia. All the commune
ties along the river believe the two
points have a material interest in the
subject which affects the welfare of
two States and numerous municipali-
ties. To Trenton the proposed improve
ment, if made, win be of immense benz
fit. The Delaware at Trenton is a
shallow stream. If a deep channel
could be dredged to enable boats of
deep draught to come up from the
lower Delaware, the State capital might
assume the dignity of a seaport and be
blessed with a large waterway COM
merce. The industries of Trenton would
be immensely benefited by river navi-
cation.

Senator Colby served notice last night
that his organization, the League for

the Republican party in legislation and
see that it did not "get away with the

faith, but If the Senate did not pass
direct primary and civil service bills he
would call in the policeman. There
are other bills that the senate ought
to pass. and some that it ought to re-
peal. We might instance the Railroad
and Water Commission acts, the one a
commission Of high-salaried slnecures
and the other an instrument of the
East Jersey Water Company, but the
Essex Senator voted for both of these
acts and seems to think they are all
right. The policeman will not be called
in in these cases.

Why the great anxiety on the part of the ruling powers In
Trenton to exempt the railroad companies from the operation OF
the Public Utilities Acta The New York law includes such
companies within its scope. What good reason is there for
making a distinction here?
The existence of a State Railroad Commission cannot be
held as a substantial reason, for the Attofney-Generai has told
us that that Commission has no real power. OF course the
railroad companies don't want to have their business subject
to any supervision under the proposed Utilities law. They are

If B. c. Kuser, the Trenton member of the new fish and

No difficulty about that A legislative session .that saw no
changes in the fish and game laws would be something of a
curiosity. For a generation, or more, the lawmakers have been
hnkering away at these laws, and folks who pretend to know
assert in the most solemn manner that every new cobbling
makes them worse. Possibly this may be due to the fact that
a majority of the citizens of New Jersey don't care a horse
chestnut about the subject. Possibly it arises from the fact
that we have no settled State policy as to fish and game. By
and by we may make up our minds Is to whether the general
public, the sportsmen or the men who catch fish and game fol-
a livelihood are to receive major consideration. ~
