MARRIAGE as A JOKE.

People who get married just for a
joke usually come to a speedy realiza-
tion OF the obliquity of their sense of
humor. Marriage contributes substan-
TALLY to the gaiety of nations, true
enough. The vaudeville monologist
who does not utilize the mishaps of
matrimony as his main theme in stir
ring his audiences to laughter is very
much the exception, and the audience
that will not respond has yet to be
found. Without the opportunity given
misunderstanding the comic perodi-
Gals and humorous columns Of our
newspapers would soon languish into
disintegration. But if, considered from
the viewpoint of an outsider. marriage
is joke. it is a serious business for
those who happen to have entered
into it.
Undoubtedly the Harvard undergrad
uate who married waitress in Cam
bridge restaurant, just by way of a
hilarious jest. has already arrived at
a soberer appreciation of the true state
of affairs. He thought that merely be-
cause he was married under an as
sumed name he wasn't married at all.
He had the idea that anybody might.
by the simple expedient of concealing
his Identity under false name. experi-
ment with marriage to his hearts con-
tent, and. when no grew tired of it.

condition. As an easy method OF

CONTEMPT OF coURre

Prosecution of former chief clerk
in the comptroller's Office in Atlantic
City, for forgery, has opened up the
question of how far a newspaper can
go in criticism of the case before the
court without waiting for the conclu-
sion thereof. In this case certain At
lantic City papers expressed opinions
and conclusions rather freely. and
counsel for the defense tried to have
the newspaper editors committed for
contempt for printing such statements
and conclusions, as, he said, 1t might
poison the, minds of the jury, making
statements concerning the guilt Of the
accused. While the trial judge said he
would grant a rule to show cause why
the newspaper publishers should not be
held in contempt, there doesn't seem to
have been any very strong reason for
1t. The contention was nothing but a
lawyers plea against mere assertion
of belief on the part of the publishers.
Even If the jurors had read the papers,
the statements were not Of such a
character as would have influenced
their minds after they had heard the
true facts as presented in the evidence.
The idea is absurd.

WIRELESS TELEPHONY.

Having sent wireless telephone mes
sages distance of 24O miles, Professor
Poulson, a Danish scientist, declares
that within few months he will. have
a wireless telephone service in practi-
cal operation across the Atlantic. Wire
less telephony has been a success at sea
between warships. Our fleet on the
way to the Pacific is making practical
use Of it, but its limitations are pre-
scribed. The fact that Professor Poul-
son has succeeded in sending messages
240 miles on land is notable achieve
ment, but it is a great way short Of
sending them 5000 and odd miles across
the sea. Wireless telegraphy has
achieved the feat, but there is much
more to overcome before one person
may talk to another with the voice
across that space. The wireless tele-
graph message gets mixed at times.
There is all the more chance of con-
versations jumbiing one another. PRO

A REASON ANp AN EXCUSE.

1t is opined by the Trenton Times
that Senator Colby's "ungracious part"
in voting in the Senate caucus against
Senator Hillery, of Morris County, for
president of the Senate, ''has probably
killed any chance that Assemblyman
Martin, of Essex County, had of win
ming the Republican leadership in the
House, which Is a cause for some re-
gret, as Mr.. Martin is able, honest, in
dustrious and is highly qualified for
the position of honor which he seeks"
The meaning of this is that the two
Morris Assemblymen, in resentment of
the action of Mr.. Colby, will vote
against Assemblyman Martin for leader
when the House caucus meets on Mon
day. What Senator Colby's preference
for Senate president has to do with
Assemblyman Martins candidacy for
the Republican leadership in the House
will puzzle the Morris Assemblyinen to
explain, IL they have really expressed
any resentment If they shall vote
against Mr.. Martin for any such rea-
son the plain inference will be that
they wanted an excuse and found one.

TAFT's RETURN.

Secretary Taft's return from his trip
around the world was matter of fact.
There is nothing spectacular in the
makeup of the robust Secretary, who
is the embodiment of practical common
sense, and it may also be said, of pub
lie utility. Secretary Taft went on an
errand to the Philippines, and per-
formed it, and, as he remarked upon
landing. all the rest was purely incl
dental. He had no mission to Japan
though he took occasion while there
to leave message of peace and good
will. He had no business with the
Russian Gear. and left nothing in Rus
sia but good impression of an Ameri-
can statesman.
. During Secretary Tafts long absence
there's has been deal of presidential
fence building, and of sapping and min.
ing of the Taft fences, but now that he
is returned the Taft candidacy will as
sumo new vigor. With Roosevelt out
OF the field, Taft is the next most
dreaded candidate as viewed from Wal
Street. and it will be the whole field
against Taft.

FOREST AND LAKE OWNERSHIP.

TO the State Forestry Commission is
committed the duty of acquiring forest
lands and inland lakes for preserva-
tlon and development This commits
sion was created in 1905. At the date of
the last annual report the commission
had acquired only twenty-six hundred
acres of land, pitiful showing of
State enterprise. The last Legislature
provided for policy of public owner
ship on control OF the large inland lakes
for public park purposes and for the
conservation of the water supply. But
a beggarly allowance of money was
made for the purpose, so that the COM
mission has been unable to carry out in
any one case the object of the law.
No doubt the commission has made an
investigation and ascertained the prices
at which certain lakes can be obtained.
The State Geologist has estimated that
the aggregate price of five lakes that
are most desirable for public owner
ship would not exceed $4,000. the
property including part of the adjoin-
ing upland and right of way from a
public road. Says the State Geologist:
: "The scenery surrounding these lakes
cannot be surpassed within the State
All Of them are by nature destined to
be favorite resorts for rest and recrea-
tion for ever-increasing numbers If
their freedom can be preserved"
Having embarked upon the policy of
forest and lake preservation the Legis-
lature should make something more
than a pretense of carrying it out. If
there is any preference at the present
time it should be given to the lakes.
There is no danger that the forests will
be greatly increased in purchase value
or that difficulties will arise in the
near future to prevent their acquisition,
but there is danger in the case of the
lakes. Private ownership is reaching
out to get exclusive possession of these
beautiful lakes to convert them into
private fish ponds. Every year that
passes makes 1t more difficult for the
State to secure ownership for the peo-
pie OF the loveliest features of State
scehery.

NEWARKER
RECALLS AN EARLY XMAS

Several white-haired Newarkers sat
before the CHEEKY open hearth fire at
a local clubhouse telling reeollections
of their early Christmas celebrations.
my parents set no store by Christ
mas" said a manufacturer who is a
friend to every good cause in Newark
and a generous giver to the poor. I'm
our neighborhood there were a few
Episcopalians who attended Trinity,
and a mere handful who belonged to
st. Johns Roman Catholic Church. AS
for the rest of the folks around cur
way, Business went on during Christ
mas as on other days. In my fathers
business if any of his hands wanted to
take Christmas off they were docked
for their time.
There was no Christmas advertising,
and no Christmas displays in the shop
windows until just before the. Civil
War The first bit of Christmas shop"
window dressing that 1 recall was in
a grocery shop kept by the father Of
the Reverend Father Corrigan. My
recollection is that the windows were
decorated by Mr.. Corrigans son
Michael, afterward the archbishop, and
by a daughter of the family who after
ward became a sister in France.
THE story got out in school that Cor
rigan's shop windows were to be fitted
up with a representation of the cave
at Bethlehem and lighted with many
candles. set within colored glasses. We
all fiocked down to Market street soon
after sunset, and saw what was to our
eyes a picture worthy of fairyland.
There were many tiny candles in tin
sconces set in little pine trees, Ave-
pointed star of gilt tin that held a
camphene lamp centered upon magni-
flying glass that made the stars centre,
and which was suspended over the
crib that contained an effigy of the
Holy Child, and about it were figures
that represented the Holy Family and
cattle. Everything was very fine to
our young eyes.
"Mr. Corrigan came out to ask us
how we liked the exhibition. I was
speechless, as at the first time l saw
circus. But some of the boys and girls
told him how pleased they were, and
he took US all into the store and gave
each one a cornucopia of colored and
gilt paper filed with candies, and a
brown paper packet of nuts and figs.

ABOLISH THE VOTING MACHINE.

The Independent Voters League and
the Third Ward Republican Club, of
Arlington, both organizations composed
of the best class of voters, have gone
on record strongly against the voting
machines, and will send petitions to
Governor-elect Fort favoring their
ceived other communications of the
same tenor and will doubtless receive
more before Inauguration day.
To head Off this growing and deter
mined sentiment against machine vot-
ing, the agents of the voting machine
company of Rochester have been visit
ing around the State and disseminating
literature. They have an ally in the
Secretary of States office. One of the
promoters of the act that fastened the
machines on the State was Secretary of
State Dickinson, who. in the recent
election, placed the machines in dis
tricts where 1t was necessary to dis
courage independent voting. When
the Legislature convenes the voting
machine lobby will be at Trenton in
full force.
A bill for abolishing the device will
be introduced early In the session, and
it will be the tactics of the lobby
to have it sent to a committee
nurse that loves it not" But there
is now determined purpose to get
rid of the voting machine, and the COM
mittee chairman who holds back re-
pealer of the act will be subjected to
a fire of criticism. AS last resort, the
promoters of the voting machine jobs
declare that the machines can be abol-
ished after some better method of vot-
ing shall have been found. Presuma-
bly, they are to do the searching. This
dodge can deceive nobody. The paper
ballot is the only method of voting that
is adapted to our mixed population,
and the only one that should be used.
1t will be necessary simply to repeal
the voting machine law to restore
that method and incidentally save the
State an additional cost of half mil
lion dollars.
