The resignation Of John W. Yerkes
from the Office of Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue at Washington City comes
as surprise to his Kentucky friends.
His determination to engage in the
practice of law at the Capital and to
take up his residence in that city will
be regretted by his Republican friends.
Mr.. Yerkes has long been recognized as
one of Kentucky's leading lawyers and
ablsst and cleanest politicians. The
fact that the salary attached to the office
was inadequate to cover the cost of liv-
ing. coupled with poor health resulting
from hard work and close confinement,
caused his decision. it is announced.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL II, 1907.

Our Washington correspondent writes;
civilian Jennings Bryan is the choice
of the South for the next President,
says Congressman ollie James, of Ken
lucky, who has been in the city for a
couple of days this week. The people
of the South, Democrats and RePubli-
cans, alike, want President Roosevelt
for a third term" is the word received
here from Newell Sanders, Chairman OF
the Tennessee Republican State Ex-
ecutive committee, who telegraphed a
local newspaper declaring that the ap-
peal made by John Temple Graves to
Bryan, that he withdraw in favor of the
President, was proof Of his statement.
From the viewpoint Of the national
capital there are only two candidates in
the field, Roosevelt and Bryan. If
Southern Republicans and Democrats
could control the conventions of the two
parties in 1903 it is probable that these
men would again struggle for the right
to rule the nation.

THE STATE AND THE RAILROAD.

"Will the South strange its rail-
ways?" plaintively asks the Sun, which
declares hat Blind to their own well
fare. careless Of their great economic
interests and deluded by politicians
who are playing with vast issues for
their own political ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
some of the States of the great new
South are cramping their present and
strangling their future by legislation
and attempts at legislation which tend
to ruin their lines of communication
with their markets"
Which is all poppycock. The ques-
ton in the Southern States is the ques-
tion alike in the Northern States and
in the Union. 1t is whether the rail-
road power or the government is the
sovereign. The insolence of that power
has grown with the corruption of legis-
lators by railroad Hobbies and the COM
plaisance of courts until it has become
i~ntolerable. The Southern States are
not blind or careless and they are not
deIuded. Nor is the National Govern
ment, which is fighting the same battle
on broader lines.

cHARAcrER ANp INDIGNATION.

A recommendation to be made by
the United States immigration Com
mission, now in Europe, to Congress
will be a requirement that every i'm
migrant bear a certificate of good char
acter from the home authorities and
certified to by an American consul.
This might work hardship in the cases
of political immigrants, like the Rus
slams, but 1t is held to be- necessary in
order to keep out the criminal and
vicious classes.
Point is given to the recommends
ton by the frequency of crime in and
around New York at the present time,
in which aliens are the criminals. 1t is
evident that we have received more
than the usual number of the criminal
element of late. But the requirement
in question would bear very hard upon
immigration from eastern Europe, and
especially Russia. The Russian officials
would either extort money for a GER
tiicate or refuse to give one, and thou
sands Of worthy families that wanted
to emigrate to free America would be
barred.

ALL TARRED WITH THE SAME STICK.

1t requires no studied attempt to cast
discredit upon the State Board of
Health, which was appealed to at least
three months ago by the hospital au-
thorities and has not yet definitely
fixed the cause of the contamination of
the spring water. The reason for this
was explained yesterday by DIR. Nit
chelrs testimony that the only sanitary
inspector employed by the State board
is away on a vacation in Europe
Trenton Times.
The showing for the State board is
certainly not the least d~iscreditable
feature of the developments at Trenton.
But the board only exhibits the weak
ness hat characterizes all the boards
and commissions and institutions tina
have been touched by the probe of in
v~estigation. Too much is left to sal
aried executive officers. too much al
lowance is made to their personal con-
venience. and there is too little atten-
ton paid by unsalaried managers and
trustees.

is the property of the battleship. 1t
was voted to the ship by the New Jer-
sey Legislature and became the battle
ships property as soon as made. The
ships officers may, therefore. rightly
resent the neglect that left the service
stored in a vault of the State House all
that time, when it should have been
delivered and put into use. Some apol-
ogy is called for.

A GRADE CROSSING TRAGEDY AGAIN

The shocking tragedy at the railroad
grade crossing at Allenhurst last even
ing was due to the imprudence of a
driver in attempting to drive across
the track after a train had passed
without looking to see whether another
train was approaching on the opposite
track. Whether proper precautions had
been observed by the railroad en-
ployees remains to be learned at the
inquest. But the event emphasizes
anew the necessity for the adjustment
of all grade crossings in this State
where they are a peril to human life.
The New Jersey seacoast is being
rapidly built up and every veal there
is a largely increased number of peo-
pie visiting the seacoast resorts. Many
of them are we'll populated all the year
round. And all along the coas the
railroad grade crossing is the rule.
With railroad extensions also they are
added to. If the new Railroad Com
mission is of any practical use for the
State it will take up and deal vigor-
ously with this question of grade cross
ings.

THE wELL-pLAoED MARTIN FAMILY.

At the Railway Refor1natory Joseph
w. Martin is the superintendent. Man
ton d. Martin, a son, is chief clerk, and
Henry S. Martin, another son, is the
salaried organist. Presumably there
are no more sons in the Martin family
for more nepotism. The father gets
$1,000 a year, the clerk draws 81, 500 and
the organist a modest $500, while he
derives an income from other employ
ments. The Martin family Is a close
second to the Morse family, shown up
so interestingly in the early investiga-
ton by the Hahn committee.

son has charge of the money placed to
