GOVERNOR FOR AMENDMENTS.
Lawyers OF the state Divided as to
Value of Proposed Change.

Value of Proposed Change.
Governor J. Franklin Fort, who di-
vided honors with United States SUI
preme Court Justice David ]. Brown,
was the guest Of honor at the annual
banquet of the New Jersey Bar asso-
citation Friday night. The governor
offered his unqualified support to the
proposed constitutional amendments,
which, if passed by popular vote next
September, will reorganize the entire
judicial system of the state. Governor
Fort declared his belief that the pres
ent system, especially in the higher
courts, is cumbersome and produc-
tive of delay and asked the support
of bar and bench for the amendments,
which, if adopted, will give him oyer
a score OF bench appointments.
Opponents to the proposed change in
state judiciary methods rallied in a
last attempt to prevent the bar asso-
citation giving its full support to the
measure at the business meeting in the
afternoon, when they rallied the mi
nority and prevented the passage of a
resolution under which the association
was to have started publicity cam
paign in favor of the change. AS a
compromise the organization voted to
" instruct the people" in the various
details of the proposed amendment
without taking Sides"
The association passed a resolution
which changes the present method of
nominating officers and gives the nom
mating committee several months to
make their decision, and another
which adopts the national code Of eth
les for the New Jersey bar.

716 firesduring the last five years one
half were caused by carelessness. This
is very bad showing and directs at
tention to a need for changes in our
laws. In France, for example, land
lords and tenants must show that
there was no contributors arelessness
before they can demand the amount
of their fire policy from the insurance
underwater. In all European coun-
tries laws relating to fires are more
strict than in this country and the re-
suit is fewer fires. We have better
protection against fires than are COM
mon in Europe, yet we have seven
times the fire waste.
1t Is high time that serious atten-
tion to this waste should be features
in every State Legislature. Not only
should frame buildings be prohibited
where they cannot be reached freely
by tiremen on all sides, but the law
should infiict a penalty on careless
wOrkmer who set fire to roofs with
timers fire pots, or who by erecting
defective flues and electric installa-
tions induce fires. These three causes
are becoming the discriminating
causes in the list, and only stringent
laws can reach this class Of offenders.
The direct and incidental loss by
fire each year has now reached SO per
cent. of the value Of new buildings
erected each year. 1t is becoming
such a drain upon the people that it
is no longer a question for insurance
men only, but serious problem for
Statecraft

"WHO is to be the next senator? =
is question frequently asked nova
DAYS but no one seems to be able to
answer it. With the exception OF for
mer ASsemblyman Joseph B. Fighter,
who is an avowed candidate, no one
has made any declaration although a
number of men have been mentioned
for the position. The party leaders
are taking no hand in the affair as
they say it is up to the people to make
a choice. 1t is time the people began
to crystalize their ideas and concen-
trate their minds on some good man
and see that he is properly nominated.
1t certainly ought not to be expected
that men who would be creditable
representatives of the county in the
Legislature should get out and hustle
for themselves at a great sacrifice OF
time and money in order to get the
nomination, particularly SO as the
election is but for one year to fill a
vacancy, In addition to the senator
two assemblymen are to be elected,
and local officers in the various NUM-
cipalities. Morristown elects mayor
and an aldermen in each ward, and
also chosen freeholder in each ward.

1t would seem to an ordinary mind
that when pupil is being educated at

his demeanor that he appreciated it
and not try to ape after the few light

the merit of paying for the privileges
they misuse. The only excuse for the

AFTER having spent two months in
familiarizing himself with conditions
DR.. Frank A. Moore, the new super
intendent of the Railway reformatory,
has started to do business in the way
of retrenching. On Saturday he an
nounced the abolition of the offices OF
three assistant superintendent, and
the dismissal of two guards ''for cause. "
The transfer of one of the assistants
to another place makes net saving
of four salaries for the present. There
were too many assistant superintend-
ents of equal rank, resulting in con-
slant conflict of authority that inter
fered with the discipline. Apparently
DR.. Moore is making good and earn
ing the increased salary which the
legislature voted in order to secure
his services.

THE money is coming in freely in
response to an appeal for funds to
have series of band concerts on the
park this summer. The board of al
dermen have made an appropriation,
and a number of philosophical men
have contributed and the concerts
seem assured. In this connection we
would suggest that the police commit
tee give orders to the police to sup
press the noise andN disorder that has
been a feature of the band concerts in
the past. If boys and girls, young and
old, want to play there is room enough
for them to do so in the town without
interfering with the pleasure of those
who want to hear the music. In
other towns this matter is regulated
and unnecessary noise and loud talk
ing is suppressed by the police. Let
those who do not care to listen to the
music stay away, but do not waste the
money in furnishing music that can
not be enjoyed, because of disorder.
