THE enactment of a law to prevent
the tying of horses to trees along the
public roads Of the State is another
step toward the preservation OF forest
nv in New Jersey. ga piece of unnec-
essary legislation" certain adverse
journals have termed it; yet no act
can be termed unnecessary that has
for it's object the preservation Of our
trees. The municipality that does
not manifest pride in its shade trees
and give them every possible protec
tion is not alive to the times. Not
only is it necessary to foster theil
growth, but also to plant others to re
place those that are yearly going K
decay.

THE Lakewood Times and Jour-
nal" says some of the new laws
created at the last Legislature would,
il enforced in Lakewood, make things
mighty warm for some of our trades
people. That law makes it a misde-
meanor for any one to tip household
servants in order to secure the bust
ness of their masters. There is no
question but that owners OF garages
give chauffeurs tips to bring cars to
their places, and that butchers give
the cooks and buffers a little rake
off in order to be favored with orders.
This is especially true where the ser
wants do all of the ordering for the
household. The enforcement OF such
law would put money in the pockets
OF our business men, and at the same
would prevent them from running the
risk of being fined or jailed for DISC
beying it's provisions.

The Republican State Convention
last Tuesday performed its work in a
wholly acceptable manner, as the Re-
publican majority in the State will
unquestionably agree, says the Cam
den Courier. Former United States
Senator John f. Dryden was an ideal
presiding officer, and his speech on
taking the chair was in most excel
lent tone and temper. His personal
prediction for Taft for President did
not prevent him from paying tribute
to the qualifications and deSeryings of
other prominent statesmen named for
the honor of the Republican nominal
tion at Chicago. He made clear the
Importance of continuing the admin
istration of government affairs by the
Republican party, whose policies had
been mainly instrumental in promot-
ing the prosperity of the people. The
financial and Industrial interests Of
the nation were to be promoted
through wise legislation, embracing
new currency system and a revision of
the tariff by the friends of American
industry. Although the Supreme
Court of the United States should not
be considered in partisan sense,
Chairman Dryden called attention to
the fact there was a possibility of four
vancancies on the bench next term,
and asked if it was ''of any import
ance who and what kind of Presi-
dent dominates the men called upon
to be in this high tribunal 2" Pack
ing the Supreme Court with partisans
is wrong, no matter by whom COM
mitted, for it gives cause for the peo-
pie to imagine that the influence of
corporations, criminal and otherwise,
is at the back of it. AS the chairman
said regarding the court
"ThiS august tribunal, SO small in
number, is clothed with power and
charged with responsibility almost
vitalitOthe life and liberty andIhappi-
ness of the people. So great has al
ways been its exalted character. so
spotless its reputation, solprofound its
learning, so impartial its decisions, so
courageous its interpretations of the
Constitution and the laws passed in
pursuance thereof, That the American
gpe0ple justly shelcistheS Supreme Court
IN the highest respect"
To maintain and promote that high
respect there should not bea suspicion
or partisanship alone in appointments
to the 6encRR and only Qualifications
desired being hnquestioned capability
ano undoubted iptegrity. Recounting
