STATE SENATORIAL ELECTION

1t is not likely hat there Will be any
1908. The present Senate stands fifteen
Republicans and six Democrats. OF the
licans and one a Democrat. To secure
a majority in the Senate 1t will be
necessary for the Democrats to carry
six out of the seven Senatorial counties.
The Republicans will have a majority
of one by carrying two counties. The
retiring Republicans represent Cumber-
land, Atlantic, Ocean, Mercer. Bergen
and Morris, and the one retiring Demo-
crat represents Hudson.
All the six counties first enumerated
are Republican and gave these Repub-
lican pluralities last year: Cumberland,
1876; Atlantic, ,3.64s; Ocean, s26; Mer-
Ger. 1856; Bergen, S47; Morris, LOB. To
revolutionize these counties would take
a popular upheaval. But 1t is possible
for the Democrats to make gains, and a
single county gained would imperil Re-
publican chances in 1908, when the SEN
ators to be elected will vote for a sue
cessor to John Kean for United States
Senator In 1911.
Eight Senators will retire next year,
and seven are Republicans. If the
Democrats make a gain of one this year
the next Senate will stand fourteen Re-
publicans and seven Democrats, and to
secure a majority the Republicans will
have to elect four Senators and the
Democrats five Senators. The fight will
be in Essex. Monmouth. Union. Cam
den, Salem. Gloucester, Somerset and
Warren. With the last-named county
surely Democratic, the Democrats will
be on fairly even terms with their OPP
ponents in the other counties and will
have good fighting chances in at least
four, unless a R~ooseveltlan issue may
supervene, as in 1904, to upset all cal
culations.

Hia .war of Encnpe.

A Colorado man who is visiting III
wellington told II. l. Woods this story
The game warden of Colorado was
walking out In the mountains the otner
day, when he met a hunter with MS
gun. The official suggested that thai
ought to be a good country for hunt
ing.
1T certainly is" said the hunter
proudly. Il killed one of the finest
bucks yesterday 1 ever saw, and ne
weighed over 200" 1t vas the season
when deer ma not be shot without
subJecting the hunter to a heavy hne.
well, that is a fine one" said the
warden, and do you know who you
are talking tor
Being assured that he did not the
official said:
why, l am the chief game warden
of Colorado"
The hunter was only taken back a
moment when he said.
And do you know who you are
talking to?"
The warden did not know.
well, sir" said the hunter, appar-
emily much relieved, you are talking
to sthe biggest liar in the whole State
of Colorado."-Kansas City Star.

BY some mysterious process of rea-
soning or some curious o%bfuscation of
the mental faculties, or some obliquity
of the vision. the New York newspaper
has confounded together the question
in New Jersey of a potable water sup
ply and the Passaic trunk sewer. One
of these oracles refers to the bill passed
by the Legislature allowing Paterson
to establish a sewage disposal plant as
a bill to permit that town to get a
water supply independent of the trunk
sewer" This is a sample Of New York
newspaper comment on our State mat
ters. There possibly are some people
in New Jersey addicted TO reading New
York newspapers who actually do get

sm,tb.onian In.tItution,

To the Editor Of the, Evening Star:
You will confer a favor upon an old
reader by printing a statement of how long
the Smithsonian Institution in Washington
has been established and who founded it.
WA. N.
TIT was established in 1916 for the in
crease and diffusion of knowledge among
men" Its founder was James Smithson.,
an English chemist, who at his death in
1929 beaueathed $4,000 TO the government of
the United States in trust TO found at
Washington an institution known as the
Smithsonian. This sum was increased by
careful investment to 500, 900, when a New
York capitalist added 5000, 900 to the fund,
to be used to increase knowledge concern
ing the nature and properties of the air.

The people didn't merely look at Pro-
fessor BranefogAthey stared. He knew
he was absent-minded at times, and he
wondered whether he had rubhed his
face with boot polish instead Of cold
cream after he had shaved, or whether
he had forgotten to change his dress
ing gown for his frock coat.
But a kindly policeman put things
right.
Are you aware. sir, that you are
carrying a joint of beef in your arms?'
he asked. Goodness meT' said the
professor. IL knew something was
wrong. My wife told me to put her
Sunday hat on the bed, to place this
roast in the oven and to take the baby
and the dog for a walk
you've not put the baby In the oven,
surelyg' said the laws guardian.
Il put something In It." said Brane-
fog. but / don't know whether 1t was
the baby or the dogl"
with bated breath they hurried to
the professors house. Here. on the
bed lay the baby and the dog. but 1t
was just as bad for Branefog. It was
his wife's Sunday hat that was In the
oven!=Tlt-Bits.

e Durward.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Kindly outline the story of SCOTS
"Quentln Durward." d. NJ. II.
1T presents a varied picture of the
decadent days of feudalism and chiva1ry.
The principal scenes are laid in France
and Flanders. The chief characters are
Louis XII, Charles the Bold. the rebellious
Flemings and the outlaw De la Marck.
These historical characters and many
other minor ones are portrayed with great
~fullness, while the romantic interest is at
tached to an obscure Scot, Quentin. who
by good fortune and address wins the
hand of a high-born heroine.-Ed.1

The railroads have paid to the State

therefore, upwards of 1900, 900, which.
II recovered from the railroads, will

During the time when New York's
crowded residential sections were fairly
overlooking with garbage by reason of
the strike of the garbage g%atherers the
death rate was sensibly reduced. The
vital statistics show the decrease in the
rate. 1t is in order for the sanitarians
to explain the phenomenon.

Is useless. unless the enthusiasm for the

Whfle our public schools are branching
out this way and that, cooking ~indigestible
food and making unwearable garments, II
might be well for the management to stop
and realize that there is nothing more
needful TO be taught than the simple little
matter of how to swim. 1t should not be
reckoned an accomplishment. 1t is as
much n thing of necessity as how to walk.
Anybody can learn, and so long as this is
true 1t follows that there Is no excuse for
not knowing except to blame those who
have neglected the instruction.
Swimming schools are entirely reasonable
adjuncts of a schoolhouse. incidentally
these baths would not discourage Clearly
tendencies, If existing, and would develop
them If lacking.-Hartford Courant.
Our Friends, the FiIipinos.
It is interesting to note tina the intima-
tions of Japanese designs on the Philip
pines have led many of the native Filipino
leaders. even though they profess to desire
Independence. to announce in the event
of a struggle they would be with the
United States and against Japan. Doubt
less their loyalty will not be tested, but
its existence Is none the less matter for
congratulation. The F1lipinos may not
love us more. but they plainly love the
Japanese less. Indeed, they know perfect
lv well that their condition under Japan
or almost any other foreign power. for
that matter-would be far worse than Il
Is at present. Japan has laid a heavy hand
upon Korea. and the warning has not
been without force in Asia. The anti
imperialsts have put much stress upon
the argument that the Philippines would
be a source of Xxi to us in war. But
IL iockseas II we might find some good
fighters there.-Providonce Journal.

The Undoing Of zipsip.

zipzip was a moth. Zipzip first saw
the dark in a cedar chest where his
family made a part of the summer
colony. 4tN4
Clothes were their natural prey, but
often they were lucky enough to find
camphor n tar-fakes. Sometimes
they found insect powder.
Zipzip soon learned how to attack a
fur coat; how to grapple with a seal
skin sack; how to bring down a feather
boa In true scientific style.
For some time our hero had been In
business for himself. One day he en-
countered an unfamiliar enemy. He
bit at It, but his mandibles closed on
emptiness. Nothing was there.
Zipzip was no coward Again he
sprang to the attack; again his jaws
snapped on emptiness, atmosphere. air
ether, nothing.
Zipzip was afraid. His antennae
quivered. He turned over and expired

Probably the mere enactment of such a measure by the SEN
ate would result in the Coloneps resignation. He is not lacking
in horse sense, and when he realized that a sure process of
eviction was in the making, it Is doubtful if he would care TO
wait for an ignominious expulsion. Apart from that, however,
such an act as has been suggested ought to be on the statute
books in order to guard against the recurrence of a muss like
that now afronting the moral sense of the State.
