THE OHIO STATE CONVENTION.

OF course, without the Endorsement
of the Ohio Republicans Mr.. Taft's sue
cess before the national convention in
the contest for the nomination may
be considered to be under a handicap.
Still. the possible triumph of the For
sker machine over the Secretary of
War wetld not necessarily ,mean de-
eeaI
Senator Foraker's ability to handle
the Ohio machine, if he possesses it,
does not mean the squelching of the
Taft boom by any means. Taft pos
sesses elements of popularity and
strength throughout the country that
Foraker never will be able to command.
An early state convention in Ohio can
make little difference one way or the
ether in the Taft chances, except in
quickly settling State quarrels and
clearing the field for more important
considerations.

JUSTICE For THE TEACHER.

1t is perfectly reasonable for the
school teachers of the State to demand
of the Legislature an enactment pro-
viding hat no teacher shall be dis
missed until she or he has first had a
puy1ic hearing upon written charges,
with the person who has made the
charges present at the hearing. Arbi-
trary dismissals by school boards for
personal or political reasons should be
stopped by law. There is nothing radi-
cal in the demand.
; Too many members of school boards
in New Jersey are incompetent to pass
upon the qualifications of teachers or
to judge intelligently in cases involving
the retention or dismissal of teachers.
The men and women who labor in the
cause of public EDUCATION are pre-
eminently entitled to all the protection
the law can give against the narrow
ness or selishness or favoritism of
school boards.

WORSE THAN USELESS COMMISSION.

The State Railroad Commission has
been in existence nearly six months.
and if the commission has done any
thing besides securing reports Of acct
dents from the railroads and drawing
Its salaries monthly it is not in evil
dence. A few days ago a fatal railroad
accident occurred at Camden, where
several people were killed in a rear-end
collision. The smoking a of one train
was smashed as If constructed of card
board. Camden's county physician has
declined to order an inquest, holding
that nothing had transpired to warrant
1t. AS the State Commission has no
power further than that of Offering
recommendations to the railroad COM
panies, the responsibility for the acct
dent cannot be fixed except by civil
suits.
The State has an expensive orna-
mental Railroad Commission on its
hands, thanks to the hurried and re-
luctant action of the Legislature last
spring, and Is getting no good from it.
Nay, more, there is harm. The exist
ence of this important commission is
actually a bar to action by county OFF,
eials in cas- of a railroad accident, as
Is witnessed in Camden. 1t is too often
the fact that in such cases public off,
Gals act unwillingly, and they are only
too ready to adopt an excuse for nom
action. The State Railroad Commits
sion furnishes one.

JAPANESE

In view of the fact hat Japan, while
refusing to make n treaty or written
agreement with either the United
States or Canada about immigration,
has given assurances that she will
step the immigration that is OBJ
i%ectionable and that the effects of
her repressive measures will be felt
within six months, there would seem to
be no occasion for immediate excite
ment at the report that Japanese immi-
grafton to this country during the last
fiscal year amounted to 10000, or
double the number of the previous year.
Accurate reports of this were fur
nished the Toxic Government through
ourState Department. 1t was found that
thousands of Japanese landed in Mex
leo and managed to get over the border
into the States. But that fact is not
enough to impugn the good faith of the
Japanese Government Sin its promises.
There has not yet been time to put in
force %repressive measures. 1t is a point
in favor of Japan that Canada, a prov
ince of her ally Great Britain, gets no
more favorable treatment than does the
United States in a matter in which beth
are so much concerned. Japan can by
her own measures, keep her coolies out
where they're not wanted. That she
sees the necessity of it, as well as
her own interests in doing it on this
continent, is believed. Let Japan have
time enough to show her good faith and
her ability before viewing the situation
with alarm"

MIND YOUR HEART!

There is something for every Ameri-
can to take to heart in more ways than
one in the fact recently made public
of the startling increase in the number
of deaths from heart diseases in New
York and Chicago, The disquieting
condition is attributed largely to over
work and overlooking, but there are nu-
merous other contributing causes in
herent in the completely and rush of
existence in the larger cities.
People engaged in sedentary work
take too little outdoor exercise. When
they do exercise, it is apt to be toe spas
modic and irregular and in too violent a
form. They u for trains and trolleys
as though their lives depended upon
catching a particular car, when they
must know that his, for anyone with a
tendency to heart weakness, is the
height of folly. Even more than over
work, it is overworry that figures po-
tently in the deadly percentage of
deaths from heart troubles. And it is
not activity in the caus of Others so
much as selfish absorption in ones own
narrow interests that wears down the
heart.

CONGRESS WILL RESTORE
"IN GOD WE TRUST" MOTTO

WASHINGTON, Dec, S0.-It is alto
that Congress. yielding to the pressure
of the memorials and petitions now
coming in upon it from every section
of the country, will pass legislation for
the restoration to the gold and silver
coins the motto I'm God We Trust"
which was stricken from them by order
of President Roosevelt.
If such a piece of legislation should
be passed and go to the President he
will not disapprove it. He would sign
it as embodying the wish and the will
of the people. Such Legislation would
not necessarily reflect upon his action.
He could still maintain that the POSI-
-tion he takes in reference to h use
of h motto is really the proper one,
as being the more reverential, and in
his position he would nave the SYM
pathy and Endorsement of a very large
percentage of the people, including
some of the most eminent e%xponents
of every creed in the country.
Representative J. Hampton Moore, of
Philadelphia, has introduced by re-
quest a bill providing for the restoration
of the motto. While Mr.. Moore does
not Iatner the oil ana old not uraIt
it, he is understood to be in sympathy
with it's provisions. In fact, the senti-
ment of the entire Pennsylvania dele
cation in Congress is for I'm God We
Trust" on the coin of the land. This
would indicate that the sentiment of
the State is for the restoration of the
motto, and the Representatives will
support the bill introduced by Mr..
Moore, or some similar bill with a like
purpose.
Before Mr.. Moore introduced his bill
memorials and petitions from various
religious and patriotic bodies III or
CARNATIONS began to make their ap-
pearance in both the House and the
Senate. They came from various States.
Pennsylvania included, and represented
every section of the country. Since the
introduction of the measure nearly
every Senator and Representative has
from his constituency petitions
urging him to use his influence and give
his vote to the passage of legislation
that will have the motto restored to the
coins.

A HuNnREp YEARS HENCE.

Perhaps a few persons now in their
infancy will still be alive in the year of
grace 2OO7, but there will not be many
of us who will not have crossed the Styx
when the records of the voices of the
greatest singers of today are ~unearthed
one hundred years hence in Paris.
With what curiosity will not these peo-
pie of the t~wenty-first century ncove
the discs just buried to listen to The
singing OF the greatest vocalists Of
three and more generations before.
How antiquated and crude. maybe,
will seem the talking machine by
which the melodious tones of Caruso,
Bonci, Sembrich, Eames, Melba, Calve
and the others will have been preserved
to theml What marvels of science yet
undiscovered will be as commonplace
to them! I~maginations riots at the
thought. Probably the communication
of the sounds of the voices wirelessly
to all parts of the world will be a mere
nothing. And when Caruso's voice is
heard will the world still remember to
laugh at tho incident which has made
him more famous even than the golden
voice itself? Caruso will be lucky If
he lives it down within the time limit.

after the holidays a flood of such petit
tons and memorials is expected to
make it's appearance from the members
Of both the lawmaking bodies of the
Congress. 1t is hoped that the infiu-
ence of these memorials will be suff1-
GENTLY potent to call from the COM
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures the Moore bill, or some similar
measure, and pass 1T with few dissent
ing votes.
The President has a strong convic-
ton of the Improperly of the motto on
the coins. He holds that it is little
short of sacrilege. In a letter issued
November 10, explaining why he took
the motto off, he said that the use of
the phase on the coins was a custom
without legal warrant. He continued:
"Of course the matter of the law is
absolutely in the hands of Congress,
and any direction OF Congress in the
matter will be Immediately obeyed. If
Congress alters the law and directs
me to replace on h coins the sentence
in question, the direction will be i'm
mediately put into effect; but very
earnestly trust that the religious senti-
ment of the country, the spirit OF
reverence in the country will prevent
any such action being taken.'
In explaining the reasons which had
prompted him in directing that the
motto be left off the new coins Presi-
dent Roosevelt said:
MY own feeling in the matter Is due
to the very firm conviction that to put
such a motto on coins, or to use 1t in
any kindred manner not only does no
good, but does positive harm, and is In
effect irreverence, which comes dam
gerously close to sacrilege. A beautiful
and solemn sentence such as the one
in question should be treated and ut
tered only with that fine reverence
which necessarily implies a certain ex-
altation of spirit.
Any use which tends to cheaper 1t,
and above all, any use which tends TO
secure its being treated in a spirit of
levity, is from every standpoint pro-
foundry to be regretted. 1t Is a motto
which 1t is indeed well to have in
scribed on our great national monu-
ments, in our temples of justice, in our
legislative halls, and in buildings such
as those at Annapolis and West Point
lin short, wherever it will tend to
arouse and inspire a lofty emotion in
those who look thereon. But it seems
to me eminently unwise to cheaper
such a motto by use on coins, just as
it would be to cheaper 1t by use on
postage stamps or in advertisements"
The President, however, will not veto
the bill If it passes Congress.

OF two recent murder mysteries
hereabouts one has been cleared up by
the apprehension and confession Of the
murderer, whose translation to the
electric chair is now a matter of a
short time. The other mystery re-
mains. 1t has not yet been made GER
tain that the Harrison tragedy is a
deliberate murder, but the evidence is
that the woman's death was due to
violence. 1t will be most unfortunate
If this case shall be added to the long
and gruesome list of UNPUBLISHED crimes

It costs a quarter of a million dollars
a year to maintain the New Jersey Ma
tional Guard and Naval Reserves. The
Sea Grit encampment cost this year a
total of $S2,S63.6S |, of which amount the
Federal Government contributed $780,
663. Under the Dick law the Federal
Government pays a considerable part
of the expense of the States military
establishment, which is fully worth all
it costs. The National Guard and
Naval Reserve constitute ar insurance,
and are likewise indispensable schools
for the training of men to be prepared
to serve State and nation in any great

true such plays always bring about the
ultimate triumph of virtue and always,
in the end, deal out their just dues to
the villains. But they seldom do this
until after the suggestion of crime has
been made and insisted upon in a
manner more likely to be attractive
than repellent to an easily influenced
'beholder. The results Of the harmful
suggestion of such plays are slow in
formulating and impossible generally
of tally when they do manifest them
selves. but that they are f%ar-reaching
can doubt.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Will you please Tell me something about
the "brocade' that figures In rich dresses
worn by women? What kind OF a fabric
is 1t, and how is 1t manufactured?
w. N. R.
[The word brocade is of Spanish origin.
The term is applied TO a kind of figured
silk resembling on the one hand a damask
and on the other a piece of embroidery.
To some extent 1t partakes of the charac-
ter of both, but a piece of silk woven on
the old hand loom with a slightly raised
pattern somewhat resembling a piece of
embroidered work was called a brocade.
The name Is now applied to a figured silk
with a satin or cord ground in which
several colors are used and in which a
colored thread is put in by a shuttle only
travelling a short distance, or just the
width of a flower or figure, This part of
the pattern is technically said to be
'brocaded NJ A brocade may only be of
silk on the face and the back of some
other material. Oriental brocades date
from a remote period, but there were prob
ably no European stuffs of this nature
earlier than the thirteenth or fourteenth
century, when they were made in Italy
and Spain. In common with damasks,
figured tissues and other varieties. of or
namented silks made in past times,
Italian and Spanish brocades dating from
the fourteenth to the seventeenth century,
as well as those of Persia and Asia Minor,
extending over q. longer period of time,
are extremely valuable objects of study
for the textile designer and decorative
artist. Their richness, beauty and variety
of pattern are very great. The French
brocades of the eighteenth century, and
even some of modern date, are also in
t~eresting in an artistic sense. Fin ex-
amples of these are to be found in some
of the continental museums.-Ed.l

rYpHo1D-srR1cKEN TRENTON.

Trenton is at last aroused to the
citizens. Typhoid has the city in its
grip. In a comparatively small COM
munity there have been ninety-two cases
of the disease during the present month,
and the reports show that prominent
officials are among the victims. The
people have taken to boiling their
drinking water, a practise that has
long been in vogue in Philadelphia,
which has the most abominable drink
ing water in the United States. and
also shows an extraordinary mortality
from typhoid.
1t is incumbent on the people Of
Trenton now to do something besides
wrangle over the cause of the cpl
demic. The rational explanation lies
in the contaminated water supply.
When typhoid ragged in the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Trenton there
was the same difference of opinion as
to the cause, but it was observed that
VIXEN the water supply was purified the
diseases abated and finally died out.
Trenton will have to abandon the use
of polluted water, and it is up to her
people to secure pure water at any
cost.
