of Equalization no less than 81, 306.96L77S belongs to the five
North Jersey counties of Essex. Hudson, Passaic, Bergen and
Union and $642 725,509, or less than half that amount, belongs to
all the other sixteen counties combined. For another comparison,
it is shown that while ten counties that are represented in the
State Legislature by ten senator's have a total of assessed valu-
atfons of $1,670443,669, the other eleven counties, having eleven
senator's, show only a total assessment of $279243y61S. or about
onesixth the total of the ten counties. Nearly nehalf the in.
creased valuation is in Essex, $50, 266 of the increase is in the
five counties and only $19s77, SOB in the other sixteen counties. In
the ten larger counties the aggregate increase is $780, 92y 577,
while in the eleven smaller counties that control the State Senate
with their majority of eleven votes the aggregate increased valu-
alton is only $6O93,532. 1t should be added that by far the most
valuable railroad main stem and personal property is located in
the ten counties. This difference in property wealth between the
eleven counties that are in a majority in the Senate and the ten
counties that make the minority corresponds very closely to the
great difference in the number of population. New Jersey has

Powerful Interests Are Combined
to Raise Prices on
Imports.
BY GOVERNOR JUDSON HARMON.

EOR many years the organization of

it the national government, have been
controlled by interests which thrive by
the artful use of the taxing power as
a means of private gain. They would
not have dared to attempt this through
direct taxes, but the established policy

imports gay the chance and furnished
the disguise for accomplishing their
design by making these higher than

1t was at first pretended that it made
no difference how high these taxes
We're, because the importers paid them,
but it was soon realized that the taxes
are included in the price and repaid
by the This is we'll enough,
because the tax on goods imported goes
into the public treasury. But the
makers of like goods here are enabled
to add to heir price an amount equal

the alf-wise 'Citizen'' that he was
using -well-sounding words, which
really had no beauty of truth In them.
"Citizen' seems TO have very little
knowledge Of what DR.. Mathews IS
teaching in the High School. Surely 1t
is not anarchy, nor is 1t anything ina
moral or unworthy of knowing. Let
the students speak for themselves on
the matter; ask them what they know,
about his teachings, and they Will
answer one and all: "No, Prof.
Mathews does net teach anarchy or
anything contrary to pure thought.
pure religion and pure learning"
Again referring to DR.. P.'s statement,
I would say that, much to the disgrace
of ourselves, such q truly democratic
condition does not however, really X
thoughts, for who can rob him Of them?
Great men have great tbouehts httie
men have small and more restricted
thoughts. But when it comes to
pressing his thoughts, wherein does q
mans liberty consist? He may not
wen give his thoughts, though they are
good ones, to the public, for fear OF
offending a few; either politically Oh
socially
These may be few, and In tho
Mathews case, are, but why should the
very Rev. Father Quirk be allowed 20
make any such statement as DIR.
Mathews is unfit to teach in the High
school,, Let us then, consider some
of his possible reasons for saying this:
First of all, the few opponents of DIR.
Mathews, may be differently inclined
politically, and no doubt are; but why
should this be an circumference to re-
tanning DR.. Mathews in the High
School? He does not compel any OF
his students to think his way politi-
cally; this is impossible, and any who
retain an idea like this are foolish.
Second, the worthy Father Quirk
mentions something to the effect that
DIR. Mathews does not teach pure re-
figion. | believe it is an established
rule Of the Board of Education that no
religious ~thoughts are to be taught in
the High or any other public school,
Why should they? The High school Is
not a place of religion; 1t Is a place OF
learning and as DR.. Matthew'S Is not
swayiflg our thoughts on learning IN
any wrong direction, l hold that II b
unjust not only to him, but the city IN
general. to try to depose him.

TO the Editor of the Star:
In a sermon, as. remarkable for the
display of arrogance and bigotry, as for
the utter unfamiliarity with the sub
ject that it's author displayed, the Rev.
DIR. Hook, of the Second German Pres
byterian Church, predicted on Sunday
last the dismissal of the now we'll
known protest against the public action
of an alleged educator of your city, on
the ground that it was entirely un-
called for" and dangerous in it's pos
sibilities."
I~nferentialIy, he presumed to ques-
ton the sincerity of two eminent Cath
Ollie divines who have taken part in
the discussion of the case, by insinuat-
ing that their objections are based on
''hard words used against the church
they represent" at the meeting that
precipitated the whole affair.
1 venture to suggest to the reverend
gentleman that before he ever again
lays himself open to criticism OF his
public utterances on the subject, he
should first %acquaint himself thorough
ly with the attitude of the Catholic
Church in the matter of public and
parochial schools-having once done
so, / am satisfied that he will lave
no fear of again becoming ridiculous
il the public eye.
The theory that the. Catholic Church
is inimical to, the public school has
beer so thoroughly exploded that today
it exists only in the minds of the I'M
educated, and those whose peryerseness
of intellect finds expression for the
most part within the ranks of an amaze
mic and discredited shred of an organi-
cation as un-American asst is unpopu-
lar.
The exception to the above is tina
comparatively small class % notoriety
seekers e1vho find s"ensationalism a de-
sirable and, for the most part, neces-
sary asset of their trade or calling.
1t should be known to the reverend
gentleman that the Catholic Church
does not regard the public school in
the light that he would have his con-
gregation believe. 1t does not pron1bif
the attendance Of its children at the
public school. neither does it depend for
the S%ustenance of its parochiai SCHOOLS
upon other resources than the dona-
tons of its faithful; 1t recommends
only that its schools be given prefer
-enee until the child shall have ae-
CURED full knowledge of the tenets and
obligations of its faith. Surely that is
only an exhibition of the liberty Of
conscience" thai the reverend gentle-
man emphasized. IA
The Catholic Church needs no defense
where questions of patriotism are con-
cerned, which the trend of speech of
DR.. Hook would seem to imply. It's
history in this Continent and country
forms the initial chapter of the
try itself; through succeeding pages If
will be found IN close communion with
it's progress and achievements, whether

It's traditions and principles upon the
CORY field of battle, and to the nd of
time itself in the unwritten pages of
it's future. On tie strength of this
record of All years l take DR.. Hook to
task for implying that the attitude of
the Rev. Fathers Whelan and Quirk
was inspired by other than patriotic
motives.
And 1 further submit that the Catho-
lie Church is not on trial in the action
of a government against a criminal
whose every utterance was a menace
to public welfare. Ferrer's record
stands; his active part in the con-
spiracy that resulted in his death can
neither be denied nor palliated, nor can
the penalty with which he expiated his
crimes against state and society be
charged against other than the civil
law of the land which he sought to
undermine.
Although DR.. Hook expresses himself
lin the form of an Interrogation to
Fathers Whelan and Quirk) as being
confident that anarchy and its doc
trines will never invade the sacred pre-
cincts of our public schools (by his
silence or the subject, I infer that he
is satisfied that it cannot penetrate the
parochial SCHOOL,, / find some amuse-
ment in the fact that in Monday morn
ing's press the local representative of
the Army of Reds" Mr.. Alden Free
man, of East orange, is quoted as
~championing Ferrer's cause. Incl
dentally it appears that he shares DR..
Hooks views on the subject I have
treated. Mr.. Freeman's attitude toward
law and order wal evinced on a recent
occasion, when he acted as personal
champion and press agent of the
notorious Emma Goldman during her
distasteful visit to his home city!
My amusement was intensified when
I read in the metropolitan press last
evening that the said Emma Goldman,
liz a meeting held in New York city on
Sunday night (under police surveil-
lance) asserted that anarchists in this
country would establish Ferrer's
schools here and have many OF his
School books translated into English
She is also quoted as saying that the
spread of the Ferrer ideas would have
more effect in ov~erthrowing the present
social system than tons of dynamite"
Does the Rev. DR.. Hook consider the
man whose views are in harmony with
Ferrer's, Emma Goidman's and Alden
Frceman's a ft man to inc1lcate ideas
Of citizenship and public duty in the
minds of our young?
Is he sincere in recommending that
the members Of the-Board of Education
shut their eyes to the actions Of a
public school principal who puts him
self on public record as indorsing the
a.te.ef "a x1aco 10 raof,Io 80 xs,J,o~a fiac

which Paterson doesn't want, but doesn't want Newark to get for
its needs. Tuesday, November %, is the date for the hearing. At
the same time the board renews it's resolve to- shut municipalities
out of any additional watershed, without regard to their interests
or necessities, pending the establishment of the project for a

of the projected immense dam at Mountain View, just above the
intake of the East Jersey Water Company at Little Falls. If
Newark is to be dragooned into support of that comprehensive
scheme of conservation" the city will have departed altogether
from its traditions.

sional legislation. A strong minority in a legislative body is
always to be desired as a balance for the majority. One principal
objection to the present system of county unit representation in
the House is the election of oyerpowerng majorhies. A party
IN unchecked control is liable to excesses. Feeling no restraint.
the majority commits acts of a character to offend the people.
Some Of the worst acts of legislation have been committed where
the minority was small and feeble. Leaders of a party dominant
III the State deprecate large majorities in the Assembly. They

members, most of them with legislative experience and several of

3akon next winter, if they act in unison.

sertion upon assertion, and the real
question still remains.
1t is no longer a question of Ferrer or
whether he received a fair trial, or
whether the Pope might have saved
him, or whether the orators of the New
ark meeting were up to that night good
men, or whether mons the advocates
of socialism there are not sincere,
earnest men. We simply pass over all
this: it Is not to the question at issue.
The only question at issue, and it is
the precise question upon which Pro-
fessor Mathews must be Judged, is this:
Did Professor Mathews preside and
continue TO preside al a public meeting
in which:
Religion and the Bible were reviied?
Anarchy was openly preacheda
Murder was advocated, even to such
a detail as to name the individuals to
be forthwith murdered?
SO far;no Denial has came from Pro-
lessor Mathews, in fact, no denial seems
possible. If it be found that the Pro-
fessor presided at such a meeting, is he
a proper person to teach the pupils in
our schools?'
