THE DEVELOPMENTS AT RAILWAY

Inquisitor Backes is doing at the
Railway Reformatory the same effec-
tive work he did at the State Hospital
for the Insane at Trenton. He has I'M
covered enough iniquity in the re-
formatory management to justify sum
mary action both by the Legislature
and the criminal authorities of Middle
sex County. And he is not through
with the management. The accounts
of the Institution are to be gone over
and explained.
The Legislature this year made a
regular annual appropriation of s1fS'boO
to the State Reformatory. There was
an additional appropriation of $4,000
in the supplemental bill for expenses
the present year. making a total of
$172, 900 appropriated. OF the amount
named $5S. 900 was for salaries and s4s,-
900 for maintenance. The amount Of
$1,000 was paid out this year for fire
insurance policies for three years. and
a member of the Reformatory Commits
sion negotiated these policies. The in
surance is to be inquired into.
1t has been found that the accounts
of the management are so mixed that
the bookkeeper cannot understand
them well enough to explain their mys-
teries, and therefore Inquisitor Backes
will endeavor to master them by his
own methods. An institution disburs-
ing $172,0O0 a year besides the income
from the labor of the convicts would
be expected to keep straight accounts.
There may be questions in regard TO
the purchase of supplies. the dealers
favored and the prices paid. Warden
Hayes's performances at Trenton and
the Rice family arrangement there
sugges what may nave been practised
at Railway. The further developments
of the Railway Reformatory next
Thursday will be watched with interest.

ANTI-RAILRoAD BILLS THIS YEAR.

1t is figured that 272 bills affecting
railroads have been passed by State
legislatures this year. and they are all
more or less hostile in their intent.
The causes for this legislation are not
far to seek. The movement is a natural
revulsion from conditions hat have
long been existent and been patiently
tolerated by the people. until public
patience has ceased to be a virtue.
We can take New Jersey for an
example. AS long as the oldest man in
politics can remember the State Legis-
lature, until two years ago. vas domi-
mated by railroad influences and greed.
The railroads were protected in their
selfish interests and unjust privileges
by favoring laws procured by their
lobby agents. They enjoyed special
privileges in taxation worth in the ag-
gfegate nearly a hundred million dol
lars in the last quarter of a century.
They hoped 10 debauch politics and
corrupt legislatures. They killed and
MANNED people at their grade crossings
with impunity and refused to abolish
the death traps until the time came
when II was needed to improve their
train service. Municipalities were their
pawns and ordinances they ~disregarded
altogether.
Similar conditions prevailed in ell
other States. What wonder that the
time scame when the people rebelled
against their railroad masters. The
marvel is that for so long they bore
the insolence and imposltions they were
subjected TO. In New Jersey the rail-
road acts passed in the last two years
were all in the line Of absolute justice
and the most important of these acts
the Perkins railroad tax law, simply
asserts the sovereign power of the
State to tax foreign railroad property
in New Jersey IN an equality with thu
property # New Jersey citizens. Thai
is all.

DESTROYING ITS RECORDS.

There is reason to doubt the state
ment by the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Company that its books were de-
stroyed in 1902. 1t is reliably affirmed
later, and it is believed they are still
in existence and are hidden in some
secret place. The Public Utilities
Commission wants to see those books
and evidently the company has a mo-
tive to prevent.
The destruction of books of accounts
is a most unusual proceeding and in
variably has an Interior object. When
the Hahn Investigating committee
made an inquiry into building con-
tracts at Trenton it ran up against
o contractor who had destroyed his
books for the year 1906. The commit
tee wanted to examine these books to
find out the name of a State officer
who had been credited with certain
amounts, and the committee was
baked.
A contractor might turn that trick
to evade inquiry. A public utility cor
pcration is responsible to the public.
It's records should be kent complete,
and the destruction or concealment of
important records necessary for official
information should be treated Grimm
ally. The law of New York seems 10
provide penalties for an act Of the
kind. But what a commentary the in
cident furnishes on The methods Of a
great corporation that seeks TO evade
its obligations to the public and the
law.

LOCAL OPTION NOT A QUESTION,

If there Is anything proven by the
history of the past sixty years, II Is
that New Jersey hoes not favor the
local option system by counties or
townships. A large percentage Of the
population added has zee by immigra-
ton from foreign countries In which

The Times speaks for the sentiment
OF the majority OF the people Of the
State. and 1t says truly. The voters in
the large centres of population make
that majority. Here and there are
small residential communities in which
local option is desired. but in the ag-
gregate OF the vote Of the state they
do not figure to any great extent. The
local optionists who have hired a West

AT R PLAINS.

The State Hospital for the Insane at
Morris Plains is one Of the finest insti-
tutions of the kind in the world. II
cost the State millions for the con-
struction. equipment and maintenance.
The original building was put up by a
State commission. of which the late
George A. Halsey, of Newark, was
president, and the contract work was a
conspicuous example of honesty. There
has been very little question in all
these years about the character of the
management. A partisan investigation
of the hospital affairs was made some
years ago, and the criticism was salts
factory.
An incident of the Thaw trial In New
York. in which the medical director OF
Morris Plains figured as an expert for
the defense, was exceedingly displeas-
ing to the people of the State. Affairs
at Morris Plains are to be inquired
into by the Hahn committee after 1t
gets through with its unsavory task
at the Railway Reformatory. and no
doubt the inquisitlon will have some
questions to ask regarding the EN-
ployment of Medical Director DR..
Evans for several weeks in New York
in neglect Of his important duties at
Morris Plains.

Bulls and Bears.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
When and how did the bulls and hears OF
the stock market come to be so called?
CURIOUS
Impossible to tell. A book published Sin
1887 entitled sketches of Imposture, De-
ception and Credulity'' mentions an epigram
which 1t ascribes to Pope, upon a punch
bowl, bought in the South Sea year for a
club. Chased with Jupiter embracing Cal
Iisto in the skies, and Europa with a BULL"

Come, fill the South Sea goblet full,
The gods shall of our stock take care;
Europa pleased accepts the Bull

Horace Walpole, writing to Maun in 1851,
does not seem to be familiar with the
names, as he says:
"It makes a strange impression now that
brokers are so much concerned in the
events of war. . Apropos, do you
know what a Bull and a Bear and a Lame
Duck are? Nay, nor I either; am only
certain they are neither animals nor fowl,

NO ANT1-RoosEvELT COMBINE.

Governor Stokes nails a yarn pub
lished by a New York paper to the
effect that he was a party to a COM
pact having for its object the selee-
ton of anti Roosevelt delegates to the
next national convention. The story
was so absurd that it was not worth
a denial.
Undoubtedly there are individual Re-
publicans In New Jersey. the same as
in other States, who are opposed to
Roosevelt and his policies and would
like to see nominated by the Repub-
lican national convention in 1908 a
man. who. If elected. would favor re-
action. But these individuals do not
count. They cannot stem the tide of
Roosevelt sentiment in New Jersey,
and there is no Republican party
leader who will attempt such a thing.
The Republican State convention
next month will be overwhelmingly
Rooseveltian Any other kind of a
convention would spell party defeat
in November. 1t is not improbable
that Senator John Kean will use his
efforts to at least tone down the on
vention resolutions to make them
colorless. but John Kean has no popu-
larity to lose. What he may attempt
to do will be impotent. We can think
of no other prominent man in the Re
publican organization who would de-
liberately stand in the way of the
Roosevelt sentiment in New Jersey.

And never a week has passed without yards of similar argu-

at us. To interfere with the railroad mems own way of doing
business could result in nothing but disaster. No matter about
extortionate rates, poor service, rebatiug, overcapitahzahon and

our ignorance we'd be sure to make confusion worse COMPOUNDED.
Besides, we had no moral o. legal right to butt in. In fact,
we wouldn't dream of doing SO only we happened to be under
the temporary influence of a Socialistic wave that was sweeping

that the dstemper might soon pass away and leave us in our
old time normal condition, willing to let them to do as they

Conversation would take on charm and
value If the man who talks would form
the habit Of having something to say.
and then saying 1t in his best way.
There is no entertainment comparable
With listening to a talker who has a wide
range of i~nterets, a good vocabulary,
fluent utterance, a vein Of originality, a
playful fancy and the divine gift of humor.
The trouble is that the men who talk
most are likely to pirate prosaically Of

vate conversation as a real art, and then

RAILROAD REGULATION THAT RE0ULzTes-or COURSE RS TOO
ANARcmSTFc FOR ISL

Rate legislation and railroad regulation are Socialisdc, Con-
.6scatory, Anarchistic and so on and so forth. That must be
true because our financial aud railroad friends and their hired
agents keep on telling it to US and they wouldn't mislead us
for the world. They gave Us the information 6rst when Con-
gress was discussing the Rate Bill and repeated it. ad inhntum,
in connection with State efforts to solve the problem. We all
remember how it was in Trenton last Winter and Spring.
Spokesman for the railroad companies threw fits when it was
proposed to create a State Railroad Commission with power to
remedy abuses and regulate passenger and freight charges. Had
the people of New Jersey gone crazy1 Didn't they know that
such a scheme was unconstitutional, besides being outrageous z

VIEWS OF EDITORS.
ForaISer,s

The controversy between Mr.. Foraker
and Judge Taft is largely personal, and
appeals principally TO Republicans But
1t is not apparent that the Ohio Senator
does his cause much good by the peculiar
methods which he adopts. He seems to
realize that he has the unpopular side of
the Rate Bill, and his efforts to hedge are
rather feeble. He tries to help himself out
by his old plan of attacking the South,
but it is doubtful that his people will re-
spond to such an appeal as they did years
ago.-Louisville Courier-Jourpal.
