Der of the State Board for the Equal

mission, will be promoted to chief ex-
aminer
The selection of former Mayor Mark
Pagan, of Jersey City, as a Riparian
Commissioner is evidence that the
Governor still has warm place in his
heart for new idea" men, even though
he did turn down Borden D. Whiting
for reappointment as Railroad Com
missioner. When former Senator
Avis was forced out of consideration
! by the opposition of Senator Gaunty
the Governor first decided to reap
point Mr.. Whiting, but after little
thought changed his mind and offered
the place to Senator Hillery

Governor Fort is still in a quandary
as to what to do about appointing
County Tax Boards. He don't want

will fix up your commission, but they
will have to be all Avis or all Gaunt
men, because there are no middle of

Teachers Tenure of Office.
ON the Newark Star

From the Newark Star
1t was Professor John D. Prince,
of Columbia College and Passiac Coun-
ty Speaker of the House of Assembly,
who introduced through Assemblyman
Radcliffe the bill providing for ten
ture of flee for public schools which
became law yesterday The ne W
law is highly important advance for
public educational interest in New Jer
sey. 1t gives the educator new sta
tus independent of the whims or poll
itics of district boards. Politics do
not enter into the enjoyment or dis
charge of teachers in Newark, but the
case is different in many other school
districts of the State Included in
the tenure now established are teach
ers, principals and supervisors, with
city superintendent and their assis-
tants. There can be no dismissals
or any reduction of salary except for
just cause and an opportunity to be
heard, but local boards can reduce by
dismissal, the number of teachers
notice of resignation must be given
to boards, but to get the benefit of
the law teacher or principal or
supervisor or superintendent must
Ii % hetFC pOCH CllpiOycu tuISS years
as probationary period, and during
such period can be dismissed at 80
days notice. Local boards have how
ever, to make rules and regulations
governing the employment of teachers
and others, the terms and tenure
thereof, and may change the rules
whenever necessary All employment
shall be dependent upon these rules,
and If no rules are adopted by the
board no contract between the board
and teacher can be valid un-
less made in writing in duplicate A
proper certificate is essential to every
teachers contract, otherwise it is void.
The public schools of New Jersey
were in years past entirely under poll
itical control and have gradually been
emancipated.

A venerable living ancestor of . woman prominent in the highsst--or perhaps one should say the wealthiest-- rank of American metropolitan society couples the statement that he sess no objection to beautiful woman of the self styled upper circles dancing with bare feet for the sake of sweet charity with the vehement declaration that he iii bitterly opposed to international mar riages. He goes so far as to say that he would mako such alliances a capital offense. The truism "old men for counsel" remains unshaken by this in- dividual extravaganza of prejudice against clasping the bond of matrimony across the sea. This particular denun- citation is founded plainly upon false assumption. The foreign adventurer who comes to-the land where opportun- ity has been most largely coined into wealth merely with the sordid purpose of winning an heiress, to the end of maintaining an inherited title with dig nifty or of bolstering the crumbling buttresses of decadent estate, is more frequently ths creature of fiction than the palpable figure of reality. If he sometimes does appear actually in such quest his errand, if discovered, is more apt to end in ridiculs than in sue cess. The sense of humor, especially when tinged with contempt, spells all illusion as to any knight so utterly de- void of chivalry. The candid sociolo- gist cannot treat him seriously.
 Internationl balances of finance never will be distributed by the true love that laughs a. the weltering bar risr of the Atlantic. The fact of inter- national romance has its root in human nature that overleaps geographical boundaries if it be not impeded by mu- tually abhorrent ethnology. That ob- stacle, of course, does not occur in the race that sent its earliest adventurers to Jamestown and Plymouth. There is no more peril in such personal ali- ances in the twentieth century than there was in the seventeenth. History that repeats itself is quite sure to bs normals Despite the traditional bit terness of family quarrels, oversea ties of blood are bonds of peace.
 Both commercial intercourse and swift communication dissipate prejudice and promote the intelligent apprecia- ton that is the basis of union. The girdle of Puck has heightened the marksmarship of Cupid.

was needlessly sweeping in his defense of Aldrich and unsound in taking the position that the finance committee is not bound to furnish information as to items that it had not amended. Only a few days ago, Mir. Root himself, was almost an insurgsnt, and though he votes with the committee he is no Cor. thodox" standpatter.
 The real distinction is between dis cussion that is helpful, discussion that elicits information, and guides to ra. tional action, and discussion that is glitteringiy general and insincsre. No senator should be lectured for asking for facts concerning any rate or item whatever. It is absurd to contend that the report of committee is final on any point, and MT. Root is the last man in the upper house to think of surrender ing any senatorial prsrogatives.
 The whole trouble arises from the fact that the revision that is now taking place is not businesshkc enough. We have no machinery at present to insure scientific revision, as has been said scores of times. The assertions of inter ested parties are not proof, and figures often lie through the conscious or un- conscious bias of those who manipulate them. Tn the pending bill for com mission of experts to investigate and report tariff data to congress, the se1a- tors who dislike windy oratory and the senators who view with suspicion the Aldrfch idea of tbusiness" revision addition, division and silence-should find a common and safe platform.

SENATE PERSONALITIES
Western View of Root-La Toilette
 Money Episode.

From the Chicago Record.Heral
 One reads the reports of the breezy little ''personal" debate in the senate the debate in which Root ''iectured' La Toilette and others, in which Money rebuksd the lecturer and declared for unlimited talk. and in which Bailey and Nelson banded charges of irregular con duct--with decidedly mixed emotions.
 Of course Senator Root was entirely right in deprecating oratory for "home consumption" of the irrelevant, hollow, futile sort, and of course Senator Money was wrong in expressing contempt for "business methods in tariff legisla- ton. It is not businesslike to railroad through tariff schedules in ignorance of their meaning and effect, and that is not what Root had in mind. On the other hand, the able New York senator

MAY BE JoHNsoN's TIME
Bryan Must Quit Running for President
 After While.

From the Buffalo Express.
 Governor Johnson of Minnesota evi- dently is fixing his eyes on the fact that another democratic presidential nomination is to be made in 1912. He did not make 8 great deal of headway against MT. Bryan last year. but Bryan must withdraw sometime, and Johnson has about as large a measure of success to his credit as any democrat in sight. This doubtless Is the basis for the inter- view which he has given out on the tariff. He says: ''The republican party promised the people thorough, honest and downward revision of the tarif. There is no doubt of that. The people expect that party to redeem that pledge. If the party does not keep faith with the people, the middle west Is lost to the republicans four years hence"
 Coming on the day after eighteen Democratic senators voted for a duty on iron ore, while nearly all the repub- licsu senators from the middle west voted against it, this sounds more like a prophecy of hope than of conviction. The middle west undoubtedly is for a lower tariff, and 1t is very likely to make things warm for politicians who resist that policy. But the democratic politicians have destroyed tho possibf ity of making any tariff fight on party lines. The people will be forced to vote on the individual records and opin ions of candidates. There has been 2 marked tendency in that direction for some years, and 1t is growing. Parties in the old sense are destroying them selves.
