LAW N LOCALITY.

Home rule in excise affairs means
local option. The right to regulate the
sale of malt and spirituous liquors in
cludes the right to set the higher or
lower price for a license, the prohibit
i've or the permissive price, or the hours
can be regulated on every day Of the
week to make it impossible for a
licensee to do business. We arc only
anticipating the logic that will be used
in the next Legislature If a bill shall be
introduced in accordance with the
resolution passed by the Newark Com
non Council on Friday night.
A State differs essentially in it's parts.
The large city is utterly unlike the
small town or village in the character
istics of it's population and in its en-
vironments. It's people live and think
and act differently. and they awe en-
tirely different customs. needs and
necessities. And yet the large city, the
small town and the rural village are
under the operation of the game laws
affecting the customs and habits and
tastes and needs of their population.
should not the state law difterentiate.
adapting itself to localities according
to their general characteristics?
At the present time. under the came
laws, there are marked differences in
the observance of the laws. That
which is regarded as all right in New
ark is under the ban in some other
community that is certainly no bstter
morally. though 1t may be more
straight-laced. The sale of cigars or
confectionery in many smaller places
would subject the offender 10 legal
penalties. Street cars are regarded as a
moral abomlnation where they are not
needed as in Newark. Secular music
on a Sunday would excite horrors In
many communities. while in Newark
the municipality provides 1T at the pub
lie expense. Some day the lawmakers
will recognize these differences in local
characteristics In the making If laws
affecting the social life of the people.

THE STANDARD I N

Judge Lands performed a simple n
bounden duty in imposing the maxi-
mum penalty on the Standard Oil
company for its repeated, persistent
and deliberate violations of the statute
laws of the United States. The size of
the aggregation of fines imposed is inn
pressive, butt after all, the penalty
does not compare in severity with the
two damage verdicts against a single
newspaper proprietor in England for
an alleged libel perpetrated in the way
of legitimate criticism. He was COM
PEELED to pay half a million dollars,
and he paid the amount. The Standard
Oil Company is an aggregation of mil
lionaires; its offenses have been rank
and "smelled to heaven" it has been
from the people hundreds Of millions
of wealth; it has ruined hundreds of
business men. debauched legislatures
and even judges.
Judge Lands we'll a Y in his deci-
sion: I'VE may as well look at this
situation squarely. The men who
thus deliberately violate this law
wound society more deeply than does
he who ccunterfeits the coin or steals
letters from the mall" The fine inn
posed poorly repays society for the
wrongs done by the great conspiracy
known as the Standard Oil Company.
It is true that in the trial before Judge
lands all the crimes committed by the
company were mot under review. but
in all criminal prosecutions the pre-
vious character of the accused more or
less shapes the sentence. Judge Lands
intimates his knowledge of the pre-
vious character Of the Standard Oil
Company when he says This court
is obliged to confess that he is unable
to indulge in the presumption that in
this. case the defendant was convicted
Of it's virgin offense."
Tho decision by Judge Lands will be
appealed, and probably the case will
not be decided within a year. But the
government has achieved a signal
triumph, and it has set the pace for
ether prosecutions. Congress will be
asked at the next session for legisla-
ton to give TO the courts clear powers
to imprison, instead of fine, persistent
violators of the law. The Standard oil
company can recoup the amount OF
its fine by putting up the market
prices of the products it controls. A
big fine on the coal trust, or powder
trust, could be assessed upon consum-
ers in the same way. But terms in
prison would not be so readily pro-
yoked or so easily compensated for.

I recall one incident that had a tragic
side: We were playing "Rosedale,'
and the thin gentleman who had been
playing the role of Burberry Cob" had
become i'll and a portly substitute had
been secured. The character is that of
a corpulent gentleman and the slender
individual who had before taken the
part had been forced to pad himself In
order to fulfill the physical require
ments of the part At one momen of
the play l had been accustomed as a
comedy feature, to jab a hatpin into his
padded chest. The fat gentleman, OF
course, found 1t unnecessary to pad
himself, and this fact I entirely over
looked when 1t came my turn to WELD
the hatpin. Naturally it dug into the
poor mans body and there came a howl
of pain from him that all but ruined
the performance. Since that time l
have been very careful about using a
hatpin-From MY Yesterdays" by

Revised Fable.

Long before daybreak the early bird
sailed forth to find the early worm.
But the early cat caught the early bird
and was in turn bounced upon by the

bird that never tried to force the hour
and always slept until sunrise came out
and found not only one worm, but a
million.

VIEWS OF EDITORS.
Prosperity.

In the general glad note over the pros
perity of the, country-a prosperity iad-
mitted to be unequalled in its history
there comes now and again a discord in
the pessimisfic warnings thai the country
is too prosperous, and that something will
happen unless this unprecedented tide OF
prosperity is checked; that we Will all be
swept away in the flood. These warnings,
however, are something like the doleful
shaking of heads by the English dominant
classes, who fear that the masses are get
ting too much self-government for their
own good. 1t is a significant fact that the
wailings over prosperity are not coming
from those who are enjoying the trults OIL
legitimate business enterprise. but rather
from those who think themselves endowed
with a paternal sort of control of the pros
perity and interests of the public at large,
or from those who do not relish the
public's sharing so largely in the profits

A DIVISIONAL -ENcAMpMENr.

Many years have elapsed since the
National Guard division Of New Jer-
sey was modified. The last time was
about a quarter of a century ago. Dr.
vision staff officers have never had ex-
perience in division field duty with the
State Guard. 1t has been rare of late
years for a brigade TO the modified.
Governor Voorhees, promised in 1898, at
the time of the Spanish american War.
that the next year the whole division
would be sent TO sea Girt. but Governor
VOORHEES, held his promises lightly! In
stead he issued those astonishing orders
for a reorganization Of the State
Guard that nearly wrecked the labori-
Gus work of years and badly demoral-
lied the Guard until Governor Murphy
repaired the mischief done.
We may hope that under the opera
ton of the Dick law and the new
militia law. passed by the Legislature
this year, an early opportunity will be
afforded 10 bring the entire State Guard
together in the field for division evo
buttons. A weeks encampment for the
division next year, instead of the week.
ly encampments of regiments, would
cost the State about the anne. The
Wan Department would detail officers
and probably a battalion of the regu-
lars to participate in the camp and
evolutions and give practical instruc-
tions to the State division officers.

of the State at Sea Girt would stimu-

President Roosevelt has earned the confidence and the graft
tude of his countrynen by courageous work and signal service,
and l do not speak in unkindly criticism, for l believe in the
purity of his purpose and in his greatness. But he is not in
IfalIbie, however strong of soul and pure of heart he may be.
Proposals even from him which are calculated to affect the
relations of the Federal Government to the several States should
be thought upon, studied and Analysed before we adopt them.
The tendency of the times is toward Capitalization of power in
the Federal Government. Public necessity, as he has under
stood the public need, has fitted we'll the Presidents peculiar
temperament. And it will, indeed, be surprising if these do not
at times lead him into error. From a speech By Governor
Hanly of Indiana.
Candid and honest discussion of President Roosevelts poll
cis and propositions is desirable. He is far from being
infallible, and isn't foolish enough to assume the attribute of
infallbiity. In fact. he is frequently insulsive and frank
criticism is helpful rather than hurtful.
The Presidents enemies are more to blame than anybody
else for the lack of fair discussion of his acts, based on the
merits of each case. They attack everything that he does,
good, bad or indifferent. They SANDER and misrepresent, and
seek to rdicu1e all his suggestions Or recommendations. He
las interfered with their special privileges and graft and has
insisted that they must obey the law the same as everybody
else. For this they cannot forgive him, and everything that
he does must necessarily be wrong. q

Asbury Park, Long Branch and the adjacent municipalities,
have the strongest possible incentive of self interest to devise
better sewerage systems than they now have. 1t is preposter-
Gus to complain of New York fouling Our beaches while we are
doing so much of that ourselves. There is no necessity for
argument nor scientific demonstration to prove that the sewage
of the seaside resorts comes back to the bathing places. The
sensible thing to do is to face the undeniable fact and to provide
a remedy before the evil has done ireparable damage. There
may be differences of opinion as to which method OF sewage
disposal is best, but there surely can be no question as to the
unwisdom and danger of the one now in use.
