THE COUNTY COMMITTEE AND
COLBY.
COLBY.

The election of a Republican county
committee in Essex this year will have
an important bearing on the question
of the nomination of a Senator in Es-
sex County mex year, when Senator
Colby's term will expire. The Sena-
tor to be elected next year will have
a vote for United States Senator in
1911, when John Kean will end his
present term, and. unless all signs fail.
will retire from official life.
Senator Colby is touring Europe in
his motor car, and is understood to be
studying initiative and referendum
amid the romantic scenery of the Swiss
mountains. He has taken no part in
the subsequent proceedings of the
Legislature, which have proved of such
great Importance to the State, but he
will be back in time to look after his
political fences. 1t is his ambition to
succeed himself in the Senatorship. and
he a no illusions about a guberna-
toria1 nomination this year.
The county committee to be chosen
in September will naturally command
more prestige with the party voters
than did the county committee in 1905,
when Senator Colby secured his NOM
nation. Causes for dissatisfaction
with the committee have to a large
extent been eliminated, and the in
dependent sentiment in the party is
not as pronounced as it was. The
sentiment that is opposed to the
Bishops law is, however, still strong
and assertive, and it will be made
manifest in the Republican primaries
next month. and will be in evidence
also in the elections next year If the
next Legislature does not modify the
excise law. 1t is obviously not friend
ly to Senator Colby because of his at
titude in excise legislation.

THE Fly ON THE WHEEL.

John d. Rockefeller's denial that he
gave out or authorized the remarkable
interview printed in the World, in
which he was made to predict dire dis
asters as a of the policy
of the national administration in
prosecuting the railroads and trusts
for violations of the law, is not borne
out by the known facts.
A man might be a multi-millionaire
and have control of a vast Industrial
organization and not be a seer and
prophet. If he is disposed to look into
the future it is with prejudiced eyes.
He views things from his own selfish
standpoint. Egotism colors what he
sees. 1t is the habit of the men who
are at the head of great private enter
prises to take credit for public pros
perity. The railroad managers believe
that all the good enjoyed by the State
enterprise. and that is the secret of the
arrogant attitude they so often assume
in their dealings with State and
municipality. The trust magnate fat
tiers himself in like manner, and the
managers and other great captains OF
finance nave the delusion that they are
the creators and masters of the public
welfare.

HOW BEER DRIVES OUT WHISKY

Lager beer has become the national
drink in this country, and it has re-
duced by about one-half the annual
consumption Of whiskey, which for
merly was the favorite American tipple.
Back in 1853, when the government
made it's first official record of the pro-
duction of beer, the total produced was
only zoos, 625 barrels. During the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1906, the produc-
ton was 54,5 24, 553 barrels. The in
crease that year over the previous year
was 4,797,476 barrels, or more than
double the total production in 1868. In
that year the per capita consumption
was three gallons, and it is now twenty
one gallons, showing that the great in
crease is not due to increase of popu-
lation, but to use. Since 1863 the per
capita consumption of whiskey has
gone down from two gallons to less
than one.
The chief objection to beverages
is the amount of alcohol they contain.
In beer the proportion of alcohol is
about one-twelfth hat of whiskey, so
the substitution Of beer for whiskey is
in the line of temperance. In prohibit
ton States the effect of the law is t.
discriminate against beer in favor Of
whiskey. Beer is bulky and cannot be
surreptitiously sold, while whiskey i;
in small bulk and "a readily be con.
cealed and sold privately. Hence 1t Is
found that there is far more habitua
drunkenness in a prohibition city like
Portland, Me-, than in a wide-open city
like Newark.

REFORM OF OUR FISHERIES.

According to our Hudson contem-
porary, the Observer, former Judge
Francis S. Child, who at present seems
to be leading the field for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination, is as
ardent a disciple of Izaak Walton as
is his distinguished fellow-Jerseyman
and fellow-Democrat. Grover Cleveland.
Fishing is his favorite avocation. IF
he were elected Governor" vouches the
Observer, .it is safe to guess that he
would put in office a fish commission
that would improve the sport, or there
would be some political hangings pretty
quick
That is no mean pledge. and would
make no flimsy plank in a platform.
The State has been suffering to the ex-
tent of about 10000 cash dollars ex-
pended every year, ostensibly paid for
the protection of fish and other game,
which have not been protected. But this
appropriation is not all the cost to the
State of the inefficient commission, con-
trolled by one-man power. In addition
to unaccounted-for fees, the immunity
of the fish trust, an out-of-the-State
organization, from license and regula-
ton, has given 1t a monopoly of u
salt water food fish, which it not only
destroys with it's pound nets and col
fusion with the m%enhaden fisheries, but
takes from the people of New Jersey
three or four times the value of an
important food product which is right
fully their own property. 1t would not
be a stupid bit of policy to incorporate
a pledge of reform in our fisheries in a
platform for the fall campaign.

The Split Inhnitive.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
What Is the meaning of the split IN
hnitive of which I hear occasionally in
literary circles? lGNORAMOS.
ITO ''split the inf1nitive" means to insert
an adverb between the verb and the sign
of the infinitive. Thus, ito slowly go"
ito freely give" etc, Instead OF TO go
slowly ito give freely" The objection
to the split infinitive Is p%edantic, since
force is often gained by its use. But 1t
depends upon circumstances The cases
cited above are examples of its wrong use.
They are awkward and enfeebling. In
other cases the use of it might be justified.
The rule for the writer should be, to avoid
the split inflnitive except when his ear
n understanding combine to require 1t.
