DISMISSAL OF THE MAYOR.

u the mayor of a city shall be held
sponsible by the state for the proper
iforcement of the statutes In his
iinicipality and be subject to sum
ary removal by the Governor, it will
precious hard to find men of char
ter and capacity who will be willing
take q nomination for mayor Men
II not care to incur the riskyof dis
ssal from office with a permanent
ain on their characters.
There are all kinds of statutes, and
me that are obsolete, so far as their
forcement is concerned. But as long
a statute is a statute it can be in
ked by zealots to annoy and harass
hers. In Burlington County Sunday
Hers of ice cream and cigars are be-
9 hailed before the police courts and
led. AS the same law governs the
tire State, a city like Newark is sub
ct to similar intolerant regulations,
d, If the Mayor should be held re-
onsiblc to the Governor for neglect
close the ice rea and cigar stores,
might be dismissed from his office.
IL goes without saying that the
ayor of a city should perform his
,lty vigilantly and faithfully, but in
State like New Jersey, which con-
ms a population so diverse and COM
unities so radically different from
qch other in their tastes and habits

ee case of "blue laws" have been
operative by consent of the
iople of his community.
Laws have been passed in this State
r many generations on the theory
at the same statutory jacket should
all the subdivisions Of the State,
i'd that makes the trouble. The
sgislature has learned since the
nendment was adopted prohibiting
lecial legislation that in some essen
al respects the municipalities of the
ate differ widely Hence the CLASH
cation of cities in order to provide
scessary legislation for one city with
It forcing undesired legislation on an
her class. But in matters affecting
fe individual citizen and touching his
lbits and morals, the legislation
axes no distinction between the viii
ge and vlllager and the large city
Id the mixed population thereof. 50
the mayor of a large city shall not
iopt the same line of conduct as the
)verning authority of a small country
Immunity he would be liable to dis
issal under a law giving that power

lestion has two points Of view.

A tall man, impatiently pacing the plat
form of a wayside station, accosted a red
haired boy of about IL.
"S-s-say," he said, "d-d-do y-you know
ha-ha-how late this train is?'
The boy grinned but made no reply. The
man suffered out something about red
headed kids in general and passed into ehe
station.
A stranger, overhearing the one-sided con-
versation. asked the boy why he hadn't
answered the big man.

Socialism.

Fortunately, the race has not degenerated
to so great an extent as to fall prey to this
ism OF stagnation. retrogression and decay.
1t Is individual effort that lifts a man to
success; it is self-reliance that makes the
world move upward; 1t is the struggle of
the individual to better his lot, to better
his country and to better his people that
constructs nations.
The theorlst among the Socialists, who
mistakes his particular kind of idealism
for altruism, will declare the doctrine of
individuality to be the doctrine of selfish
ness, on the ground that 1t resolves the
problem of life into a competition for the
conquest by the selfish man of his fellows.
But it would be difficult to conceive a more
selfish notion than the one exemplifed in
st. Louis, Boston and Berlin, when the
crowds demanded that their communities
should provide for them. They wanted their
neighbors to do something for them. They
asserted the theory that governments exist
as a private snap.
Socialism and anarchism aim at the same
result by widely different routes. The first
would destroy the individual by submerg-
ing him with government; the latter would
destroy him by abolishihg all government,
which is an institution for the protection
OF the individual. But the race is pretty
sound. 1t still cares for the individual.
Individualism is not ready to give way to
such rabid. iniquitous and destructive
forces.-Louisville Courier-Journal. ,

The story is told of an actor, popular
with the matinee girls, who is beset by the
fear of being thought older than he is.
The last time this player was interviewed
it was by a young woman reporter for one
of the dailies. She wished to get his views
touching the condition of the drama, a sub
ject the actor was not particularly DESTROYS
of discussing.

Passenger Trains Don't psv.

All railroad men know that freight and
not passengers pay dividends. People are
carried as part Of a public duty, but the
real gravy of all companies is derived
from handling merchandise. Limited ex-
press trains are run for the convenience
OF busy and luxurious people, but they
rarely meet expenses.
PRESIDENT Thomas declares that the Lee
nigh Valley could well afford to pay $780,
W0 annually for the privilege of removing
all passenger trains from that road. He
says they don't pay, although they are n
necessary part Of the carrier business, and
Mr.. Thomas is not given to talking care
lessly.
The speedier the train the more expen-
sive the equipment required to sustain 1t.
Hence, while the fares collected on one
OF the highly polished, becushloned, elec-
trio Illuminated and rolling expresses may
seem large, the cost is also great in all
departments. The putting freight that
sneaks out at night after the tracks are
cleared is the real money Garner.
The race horse may occasionally win a
prize, but the steed at the pillow is sure to
more than earn his keep.-Philadelphia

not necessarily a dissuader. Just now,
when or where 1t will make its next move

not desire war with Japan. They will
take every possible means to avert it.

which they are given. And they will keep
on fortifying the country and increasing
