CHINA AND A CONSTITUTION.

China does things slowly and with
the utmost deliberation. If the EN-
press Dowager, in promulgating a de-
cree for a constitutional monarchy, is
not playing the gold brick game on
her subjects, and really intends what
she says the change may De brought
about in the lifetime of the Chinese in
FAINT born yesterday and may not be ac-
complished until the Greek calends.
But the wonder of wonders is that
China should be promised a constitu-
tion, or rather, a constitution and par
Lament for eac of the seventeen
provinces of the empire.
Evidently h Chinese statesmen who
evolved this plan have given some
study to American political institutions
and have copied our system of separate
State constitutions and legislative
bodies. But there the resemblance
ends. There is to be no elective govern
ors by the people, and the executive to
be chosen by the parliament is to be
subordinate to a governor appointed
by the crown. To American ideas this
plan is extreme conservatism. To Chi
nese ideas it must be the extreme of
radicalism, SO extreme that it cannot
be genuine.

ELIzABErH's OLD HOME WEEK.

Elizabeth is already gaily decorated
next Saturday. The old town has sent
out thousands of its natives to locate
and make their homes in other places.
Many are in the West, some in the
North and South and not a few in New
York city and other nearby commune
ties. IL all the people now living who
shall have left Elizabeth permanently
within the last half century should re-
turn during Old Home Week the town
would overflow. This is no longer the
day of the stay-at-home. Americans
move about freely, shift their locations
as circumstances suggest or require,
and feel as much at home in one part
of the country as in another.
broad opportunities, and finally for a
more perfect understanding between all
classes of the people and all sections of
the country. The invitation to those
who have gone forth to return and re-
new their old acquaintance and
strengthen the sentimental ties that
bind them to their scenes of childhood
or young manhood is calculated to
stimulate a feeling of local patriotism.
Elizabeth viii have more of civic pride

ADMINISTRATORS sTRENUosrrY.

Our Cabinet ministers no longer sit
in their Offices in Washington and deal
with foreign governments through ac-
credited agents. They personally go
abroad to do business. Secretary Root
toured South and Central America with
the happiest- results, and he Is now in
Mexico on a similar mission. Secretary
Taft is In Japan doing heroic work, and
he will soon be in the Philippines to
disentangle affairs there. He will re-
turn by way of the Suez Canal and do
some business in Europe before he
takes a steamer for home.
This is strenuosity, The man who
sits in Roosevelt's Cabinet isn't allowed
to sit very long. He must get out and
hustle. Roosevelt is doing some hus-
Ting himself at the present time. When
he gets back to Washington perhaps
he will find some husky jobs for others
of his official family to get out and do.
These be times, and mere
Office men are not wanted. The cry is,
UP and be doing.

NO POWER OVER A NUISANCE.

If the Board of Health has no au-
thority to order the suppression of a
nuisance, like the barking of a kennel
of dogs in a quiet residential n%eighbor-
hood at night, it is high time the board
or some other arm of the municipal
government should be given the au-
thority. Whatever tends to destroy
sleep and wear upon the nervous sys-
TEN is as much a subject for sanitary
regulation as the maintenance of n
other form of nuisance thai is calcu-
lated to injure health.
One strong-lunged dog can do great
harm to the public health within the
area of his midnight bowling. He can
retard the convalescence of the sick,
unfit people for their daily vocations
and. catse a deal of profanity. There
are moral and sanitary reasons for the
suppression of nuisances at night that
annoy neighborhoods, and the Board of
Health should exercise the authority.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1907.
THE DISCLOSURES AT MORRIS
PLAINS.

1t was with mingled feelings of horror
and regret that the people of the State
learned the facts about the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Trenton, about
the mismanagement and neglect there
that caused nearly a score of deaths,
and about the fatal clubbing admin
istered TO a sick patient by two brute
attendants who have not yet been ap-
pretended for their crime.
And now comes a similar revelation
at the State hospital at Morris Plains
OF a like tragedy, the brutal beating
of a former Mayor Of Hackettstown by
two attendants, and his death as a re-
suit of his injuries. The testimony
given at the Hahn committee ~investi-
cation yesterday seems conclusive that
the patient was delivered at the hos
pital uninjured, and that the assault
occurred there. His fractured ribs were
exhibited to the committee, and a wit
ness swore that he saw the assault
committed.
The people of the state have always
had confidence as well as pride in the
management of the splendid State asy-
lum>at Norris Plains. Even after the
condition of things at Trenton was
shown UP this confidence was UNI
shaken, although there has been sharp
criticism of Medical Director Evans for
hiring himself out as an expert in the
lhaw murder case and leaving his
duties at Norris Plains to subordinates
for several weelss.
AS the revelation of the death Of for
nler Mayor Jacob n, Beatty occurred
on the FIRST day of the inquiry into al
fairs ct Morris Plains. it may well be
asked what VIII be developed when the
pfease goeH deeper. We trust, for the
sake Of M,e state, tina the case Of this
unfortunate patient was an exception,
and that In all other respects the in
stitution has been q model one.

AMERICAN STEAMERS NOT AVAIL.
ABLE.

Compelled by necessity the Navy De-
partment will charter a feet of Brit
ish steamer to carry coal for the navy
to the Pacific. British steamers are OBJ
tanned because few American steamers
could be found for the work.
Since 1917 foreign ships have been
forbidden to engage in the coastwiss
trade. British ships could bring car
goes to New York or Boston, but they
could not load another cargo to carry
to an American port on either the At
lantic or Pacific coast. British ship
owners have sought to have this law
repealed, and the free traders in the
United States have been in sympathy
with them. But the law has stood I'M
til the government itself goes contrary
to it.
There are few American steamers fit
to carry navy coal around Cape Horn
because we practically have no ocean
marine, and We have none because
Congress has refused to grant any kind
of a subsidy to enable American ship
builders and ship owners to compete
with Europe and Japan. For the same
reason the navy has no nursery for
came in an ocean marine and no
auxiliary fleet of merchant ships to
be Immediately available in case of
war.
1t is shameful that the government
should be compelled to hire British
ships to carry American coal from one
American port to another, and a pig
headed set of Congressman are alone
to blame for such a situation.

PAPERS ON CAMPAIGN
Candidates should Not speak Uu.

IFrom the Paterson Call. Rep.1
Believing that we understand the senti-
ments of a large majority of the better
class of citizens of the State-we do not
mean the wealthy class, but those who
believe in law and order and morality-it
is to be hoped that the Republican can
didate will not be coaXed or cajoled into
any expression favorable to any sort of
local option that means, directly or in
directly, the open sale of liquor on sum
days. This is what the Newark Republi-
cans and Colbyites and Democrats are
trying to get, not from any noble senti-
ment, but purely for political purposes,
associated with the dissertation of the
Sabbath. We are not ~pulitans-not by
any means. But we are opposed. and all
good citizens are opposed to the first step
that is calculated to ultimately lead to
the adoption of a continental Sunday. And
we think that the gubernatorial candidate.
be he Republican or be he Democrat, will
lose thousands of votes IL he intimates
that he favors the legal abrogation of the
Christian Sabbath. Let the law be
.'winked att If you will. the same as it
was under the Werts law, but for heavens
sake never 1egalize the open Sunday. No
body wants that,
Yet that is Just what some Of the "ad-
visers'' are trying to induce the candidates,
both Republican and Democratic, to do.
Some time-serving members Of the Repub-
hcan candidates campaign cabinet, In In
sisting that Judge Fort should come right
out with some expression that can be In
terpreted as meaning the legal sale OF
liquor on Sunday, are unwittingly advising
him to do the worst possible thing that
could be suggested. There is no county in
the State more dominated by the liquor
interests than P~assaic, but we can say
right here that the people, a large majority
or the people, even including many in the
saloon business themselves, do not want TO
see the open Sunday legalized, even for a
portion of the day. Nor would 1t be prac-
ticable for any Governor to keep such a
pledge, even if he were foolish enough to
make 1t, for not during the next Gov
ernor's term of office will there be the
slightest chance of getting an open Sunday
law through both houses Of the Legisla-
ture.
