FOR FISH AND GAME PROTECTION.

The many men of the rod and line
and gun in New Jersey can, by combin-
ing, procure the enactment of decent
fish and game laws in this State. The
gun clubs have now formed an assoc
citation for the purpose, and the move
ment thus started will no doubt have
the hearty support of every lover of
cunning and fishing in New Jersey.
One necessary object to be attained is
that of running out of the Legislature
every man of the character Of Senator
VRkelee, of Bergen, who has been no.
toriously In league with selfish interests
that have nearly destroyed fish and
game in this State. A good beginning
for an organization would be to turn in
and knock out Wakelee for reelection
in Bergen County. That would be a
lesson to others, and 1t would have a
marked effect at Trenton. Wakelee's
record in fish and game matters is well
known to sportsmen generally.

A yellow DOG U N

A reasonable explanation of the act
'of William C. Whitney in buying for
$3.50. 900 the franchise of an unbuilt
street railroad and turning it yer to
the Metropolitan Securities Company
for nearly a million, dividing up the
profits between himself and other men
connected with Public Securities man
agement. is this; That a yellow dog
fund" had been subscribed to by Whit
ney and his associates for the benefit
of Metropolitan Securities and that
Whitney adopted this method of re-
coupling the subscribers to the fund
out of the company's treasury without
making the payments appear on the
books. The high personal character of
William c. Whitney. together with his
great wealth and public spirit, pre-
clude the idea that he entered into the
transaction for the sake of stealing
the money and dividing up the swag
with the Others.

THE MAYORS TERM THE LIMIT.

The bill which passed the Legislature
on Friday making the terms of all the
Mayors appointees, with the exception
of the financial officers, terminable with
the term of the Mayor, was a substi-
tute to a bill passed last winter, and
which was returned to the Legislature
by the Governor because it included the
financial officers. This objection re-
moved, the Governor will sign the bill.
1t affects only Newark and Jersey City.
Mayor Fagan's term ends this year.,
and If he is not reelected Corporation
Counsel Record and other appointees
of his will retire when he retires.
Mayor Haussling's term ends next year.
The act is a good in principle, al
though such an office as city counsel
should not be terminable every two
years by the accident of a political ma
jority. 1t would better pay a munici-
patty to employ a counsel for a long
term and at a high salary and keep him
in office during good behavior.

ORGANS OUT OF PARTY TRACES.

This year quite a number Of political
party papers are opposing their party
candidate. The Jersey City Journal
(Rep) is opposing Mayor Pagan; the
Hudson Observer (Dem.) is opposing
IL. Otto Wittpenn, Democratic candi-
date for Mayor of Jersey City, and sup
porting Pagan; the New Jersey Freie
Zeitung (Rep.) is opposing Judge Fort
for Governor, as likewise is the Trenton
Stats zeitung (Rep.). The New Bruins
wick Home News (Rep.) opposes the
Republican candidate for Mayor of
New Brunswick, and Republican
papers in Ocean County are opposing
the reelection of senator Shinn (Rep.).
The most remarkable newspaper situa-
ton is that on the west bank of the
Hudson. where the Republican party
organ is supporting the Democratic
candidate for Mayor and the Democra-
tic organ is supporting a Republican
candidate for Mayor.

FREEZES OUT JOHN KEAN.

The method of election of United
States Senator adopted by the Legis-
lature will go into effect for the first
time in 1910, when the successor Of SEN
ator John Kean will be voted for by
the people in their primaries. Two
thirds of the Senate will hold over in
1911. but these Senators will be as much
morally bound by the new law as the
legislators newly elected. The choice
of the people in the primaries will, If
the Legislature shall respect the law,
control the election by the Legislature.
Tho time-honored plan of securing as
many Senatorial supporters as possible
and then electing enough members of
the House to make a majority on joint
ballot is now played out. The next
man to be elected United States Sem
ator must secure the direct support of
the rank and file of the party. 1t is
then a question where Senator John
Kean will come in in 1910. OF all the
prominent public men in this State he
is probably the least popular. The next
United States Senator is not at all
likely to be John Kean. The enact
ment of the new law was a notice to
quit for the senior United States Sen

WHERE THE LEGISLATURE FAILED.

The attentive student of history, poll
tics and legislation knows that in gov
eminent good laws and reforms are
born after great travail. Everybody
fury to place an equal tax law on the
New Jersey statute book. All the en-
actments in this State that do the most
good were slowly and painfully evolved.
There are great and needed reforms
that have been %ineubating for years
and are not yet born. They will come
in time.
The idea of State control of public
service corporations In the manner pro-
posed for New Jersey this year was
only lately conceived. We are imita-
tive in law-maklng as in everything
else, and 1t was New York's example
in adopting the Hughes bill that gave
inspiration for a public utilities bill in
the State Legislature. This, too, only
at the flag end of a session when two
political parties were facing an inn
portant State election and were en-
gagged In a struggle for political capital.
Considering the late hour in which
the public utilities bill, an entirely new
proposition for this State. was intro
duced and the general lack of informa-

that the Legislature failed to agree
upon the terms of the bill. 1t would
have been without precedent in the
Legislative history of his State if the
Legislature had passed a bill containing
radical apd sweeping provisions within
a few weeks after the subject of the
bill was preached.
But the failure CT the bill after SO
brief a time for consideration means
nothing more than the delay which at
Atends every important act of legisla-
Ir1on. A bill defeated in one Legislature
can be introduced in the next. That is
common experience. The people keep
right on voting for and electing MEM
bers of the Legislature; nj theirs is
the sovereign power. If they want a
law on the statute book no power on
earth can prevent it from being placed
there. Where the Legislature deserves
censure was in its failure to pass RENEE
dial bills hat rave long been de-
manded by public sentiment and the
necessity for which was thoroughly
well understood by the Legislature.

If it be true that Mr.. Backes has any

it is his duty to act upon it at once.
1t would be policy, as well as judg-
ment, because the average voter is
very suspicious of statements and

COLORADO River.

TO the Editor OF the Evening Star:
WIN you please give a history of the
Colorado River and how it changed it's
course? Does it flow into the sea?
M. SIS.
1.-THE Colorado River flows through the
plateau region Of the southwestern United
States in Utah, and passes down through
that State and through the Grand Canyon
in Arizona, over 200 miles in length. After
the river emerges from the canyon 1t turns
abruptly south, and, forming the western
boundary of Arizona, it flows through q
low desert region, receiving almost no trib-
utaries, and diminishes in evaporation and
absorption. Leaving United States terri
tory near its mouth, it empties into the
Gulf of California. The total length Of the
river is 300 miles. AS to its changing of
course, and its flowing into the Salton Sea,
or sink" as 1t is usually referred to, that
Is simply a condition Of soil and country.
Many efforts have been made from time to
time 20 keep ii, in its regular course, and

The Gulf of California has been
receding and the Colorado River has
brought sands and mud down in its swift
and discharged them into the arm
of the gulf near Yumao. Through his
year after year, the valley was
gradually filled, and over this the river
flowed far out into the gulf. In this way
me river has from time to time flowed
into the Salton Sea for many years, and
anon has shifted back into the gulf. This
is the general course the river has followed
ever since its discovery by the Spaniards
IN the sixteenth century. At high water
the river normally oVer1ows its banks in
the valley regions all the way from tha
Grand Canyon to the Gulf of California
IN unusually high water, the overflow rum
into the Salton Sea has been suffi-
to raise the level of the lake and
