Nothing to Identify.

Not a single thing was found on
Taylor's person that would show him
to be at any time connected with the
army, as he claimed. His soft gray
hat was purchased in a cheap hat
store in Cincinnati while two Gin
cinnati papers were beneath the band
used as hat pads. There was no
mark on any part of his clothing that
would indicate his residence. other
than those found in the hat.
Dan Bennett an employ of Doan &
Klute, undertakers, stated that Taylor
was in their place of business Mon
day and had told him the name of the
regiment and company with which he
fought during the civil war but Ben
nett does not remember these. He
told Bennett also that he was from
Marion.
Taylor's suicide Is the third in
eighteen months at the city jail. 1t
is the second suicide in six months,
Ed Townsend having hung himself in
the same manner as did Taylor, about
five months ago. Police officials and
city building attaches are inclined to
think there is hoodoo of large pro-
portions hanging over the Jail.

Owners of Machines Think
This Would Be Nothing
More Than Fair.
WALKER LAND ARRESTED.
ADMITTED EXCEEDING THE
SPEED LIMIT WHILE TESTING
THE ROBBINS MACHINE ON
SOUTH TWELFTH.

Autoists of Richmond feel that there
should be one street in the city set
aside, which they might use as speed
way. 1t is more than likely at the
next meeting of the city council that
the autoists of Richmond will petition
the city fathers to set aside one street
on which machines can be tested and
where drivers can exceed the speed linn
it when they so desire.
The agitation grew out of the filing
of an affidavit against Walker Land
secretary of the automobile club of
Wayne county, for exceeding the speed
limit on South Twelfth street. Monday.
Land was testing the machine owned
by John Robbins, which had been re-
paired. and he admitted that he was CO.
ing between twenty-five and thirty
miles an hour He stated that there
was no place about the city where ma
chimes could be tested and he had let
his machine loose on South Twelfth
street. Officer Lawler who saw Land
speeding, made the arrest. Red"

Land. but was soon left in the rear.
An affidavit has been filed against AL
exander and he. too. will have to face
police court on the charge of violating
the speed limit
Judge Converse, after Land had
plead guilty. stated that he would show
leniency in the case. as he knew the au-
toists had no place to test their ma
chimes, and as there was no one on the
street at the time. or no narrow es-
capes. he would assess the minimum
fine of 81 and costs.
Local automobilists state that as
North A street was set aside for a
speedway for the horsemen. there is no
reason why the autoists should not
Rave a speedway in a certain portion
Of the city. The proprietors of the Au-
to Inn have no place to test the ma
chimes after repairs are made and con-
sequently the machines have to be test
ed on any street and at the danger of
the drivers being arrested when the
speed limit is exceeded.

THE PREVAILING HIGH PRICES.

People of all degrees of life feel the
increased and increasing cost of living.
Everything mas gone up and is going
up. 1t was said of marketing In the
South during the Civil War that a
housekeeper would go to market with a
basket filled with Confederate notes and
get no more for her money than enough
to fill the pocket of her dress. How
long will it be if prices shal keep adj
vancing before we will reach that con-
dition?
Wages in nearly all occupations have
been increased from time to time, but
the benefit Of the increase la been
~neutralized by the increased cost Of
living. There has been no correspond
ing increase of salaries. The man who
received a thousand dollars a year five
years ago gets the Same salary now. 1t
is upon the salaried class that the
greatest hardship falls. To people who
patronize the restaurant the increase in
prices is unpleasantly manifest. They
find the bills of fare constantly on the
rise in their items of cost, and some
of the raises are extravagant. A plate
of vegetables that cost ten cents last
year now costs fifteen. A dish of corn
formerly ten cents now costs twenty.
Meat, fish and everything else served in
the restaurants of any p%retension are
charged for at rates that for a square
meal make a serious hole in the diners
finances. Presumably there is a limit
to high prices and in curse Of time
there is bound to be a decline in prices.
We can't keep up this gait very long.

OYSTERS AND POLLUTION.

There can be little doubt that the pol
luton of the water in which oysters
are grown is responsible for much of
the typhoid that exists. The State has
had no policy looking either to the pre-
vention of pollution or to the protec-
ton Of the oyster beds from pollution.
We have a State Board of Health and
local health boards hat take cogni-
zance of various matters relating to the
public health, but the Legislature does
not concern itself about the danger of
poisoning whole communities by poll
luted shell fish.
There is nothing in the statutes to
prevent the planting and gathering of
oysters in sewage filth. Indeed, it is
said that oysters taken from one place
are dumped into filthy water in another
place to fatten. The law should forbid
the growing of oysters in bays into
sewage At the same time all waters
In which shell fish are grown should
be jealousy watched and guarded.
Some figures prepared by the New
York Bay Pollution Commission show
that about 100000 bushels of oysters
and CLANS are annually taken from
New York Bay and adjacent waters,
into which a billion gallons a day OF
sewage is dumped. At least twenty
thousand bushels of oysters are an
nually gathered from Newark Bay
which receives all the sewage of New
ark and the towns in Essex, Hudson
Passaic and Bergen counties. AS a
matter of precaution 1t would seem ad.
visable for oyster lovers to eat theil
oysters well cooked.

VALIDITY OF RIPARIAN GRANTS.

The suit finally begun by Attorney
General McCarter to test the right of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company to
the fee and use of the immensely valu-
able tidewater basin OF the Morris
Canal at Jersey City is of momentous
Importance. 1t involves the titles TO a
vast amount of riparian property pri-
yately held in this State.
The tract in question. originally con-
yeyed to the Morris Canal and Banking
Company by the State, to be used as a
only. was conveyed in 1889 by the state
Riparian Commission to the railroad
company by virtue of an agreement be-
tween the railroad company and the
canal company, after the former had
obtained lease and absolute control OF
the canal company. The authority for
this act of the State Commission was a
law passed in 1869. authorizing the com
mission TO make grants in fee.
itAE aAC tWO quilts iilddC ny II 4 I
torney-General One is that the act of
1869 was unconstitutional; the second is
that the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, having no charter from this state
and being a foreign corporation, had no
legal right to take such a grant. Now
IL the act of 1869 was unconstitutional
all of the grants in fee made under that
act are void. This involves the entire
water frontage on the Hudson granted
away under that act, properties run
ming in the hundreds of millions of
value.
BY an act of the Legislature the in
come from the riparian domain was
dedicated as a fund for the upport of
the public schools. Since that fund was
established the accumulation, including
tire principal Of the riparian leases,
amounts to less than $4,000, 900, or prob
ably about one-fourth of the present
value of theAtidewater basin alone. 1t
can readily be seen what great injury
the legislative act of 1869 did to the peo-
pie of this State. But for that law the
riparian lands would have been leased.
not sold, the State would have got all
the benefit of the increment, and the
States school fund would today have a
capital fund to yield an annual income
to pay the entire cost of public educa-
ton in New Jersey.

THE TARIFF NEXT WINTER.

1t is the program of the Republican
national leaders to postpone the ques-
ton of tariff revision until after the
Presidential election. but not unlikely
that question will come up at the ses-
sion next winter in connection with the
German tariff arrangement, which the
Protective Tariff League is fighting
tooth and nail. 1t will be charged in
Congress that the national administra-
ton exceeded its constitutional au-
thority by making this arrangement
and has usurped power that belonged to
Congress. Philippine tariff legislation
will also be asked for. Secretary Taft
will return from the Philippines full of
zeal for a new Philippine tariff.
Another great factor hat will appear
will be the campaign of newspaper pub
fishers for the removal of the duty on
wood pulp. 1t is said that Speaker
Cannon will lot oppose the removal of
the wood pulp duty, and that this
phase of the tariff question will be
promptly dealt with in order to give
as little cause as possible for tariff agi-
tation. In the matter of the duty on
wood pulp the newspapers of the coun-
try are practically a unit in sentiment.
They want the duty abolished for the
reason that it is the backbone of the
pape trust. and hat it is the great
cause of the destruction of American
forests.
1t is hard to say what Congress will
do or what great issue will arise from
its discussions. The tariff has been in
the background for some time because
more immediate questions have been
forced to the front, but with some of
these the tariff question is closely re-
lated, and next years Presidential cam
paign may be a tariff campaign with a
consequent great disturbance of bust
ness.

AN ORGANIZED HALLOWEEN FErE.

The Order of Elk shows much public
spirit in it's enterprise of organizing a
celebration of Halloween this month.
In 1905 an organization was effected by
a few young men and a celebration was
given that was highly creditable as a
first attempt of the kind. Unfortunate
ly the pageant was so Unexpectedly
large that 1t got beyond control in its
management, but the immense popu-
larity of this form of celebration was
made evident. The Order of Elks will
proceed on a more systematic plan.
Those features of the former celebra-
ton that promoted disorder will as far
as possible be eliminated. The route of
the parade will b. better arranged and
there will be no general balls. The pre-
liminary arrangements announced in al
official bulletin are admirable and
should insure a successful celebration
as well as a repetition of the same
every year hereafter. With or without
organization, there is bound to be a
general Halloween Notification in New
ark. and it is far better hat it should
be organized and under proper control.

be converted into as pleasing, attrac-
tive and orderly a spectacle as the

Some observations of Able Klein, a
Frenchman, in British Columbia and
Canada. do not agree with the view of
London editors that the recent troubles
in the British Northwest about Japa-
nese immigration were fomented by
American labor agitators. His observa-
tion of the situation made on the spot
va that the anti-Japanese sentiment is
much stronger in British Columbia and
throughout Canada than in California
or any other part of the United States.
When he was in San Francisco this
sentiment was not evident. but in Van
couver he saw everywhere the evidence
OF intense hostility to the Japanese.
And this feeling val by no means q

While he was in Oklahoma, Secretary Taft said with a
knowing look: 81 have never yet seen the town where a drink
could not be secured by a man who looked for it." How does
he know this? Has he been everlasting1y looking for drinks
in prohibition towns and finding them? Is he an habtual law
breaker? What a President such a man would make Evidently
he cares no more for the law than Roosevelt does.-Monmouth
Democrat.
When President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft read that
paragraph in today's STAR they will be deeply panied. Mr..
Taft will be particularly hurt to find himself pillored as a law
breaker in the same class with the President Most of us have
been nursing the delusion that impartial enforcement of the law
is among the strong points of both Roosevelt and Taft, but
you can't fool the old rock-ibbed Democrats down Monmouth
way. They know that all Republicans are necessarily wicked
and the better and bigger Republicans they are the wickeder
they be. T. M.

VIEWS OF EDITORS.
rriaing Mt Trenton.

Governor Stokes's message to the New
Jersey Legislature is timely and should be
Needed. The way in which that body has
been acting this year lis nothing short OF
scandaIous. Last winter at its regular SEES
sion it gave itself up to playing politics
instead Of attending to business, and as q
result had to be called together again to
do som Of the things which it had left
undone and to Undo some of the things
which it had done. 1t has been In session
off and on for weeks, and bids fair to con-
tinue meeting ftfully until Christmas, bat
it continues to play politics and to trifle
with the public business, and the outlook Is
that this protracted special session will be
little more profitable Than that of last win
ter.-New York Tribune.

A Methodist pastor heading a dele
cation to the Governor to demonstrate
against any further reprieves or delays
in the carrying out of the death sem
tence on John e.. Schuyler, the das-
tardly murderer of Manning Riley at
Califon, is a novel sight. But this pas
tor is logical and practical. He has
no false sentimentality. The curse of
our criminal law system is the I'M
certainty OF punishment in cases of
capital crime.
