SIS. $4,000. Or So 64 head OF the population or
about $50 for each enrolled scholar. 1t may wen
be inquired If such an increase or SSOzzouo OF
81 per cent in four years Is not excessive ana IL
$50 head yearly for the instruction OF children
is not too large a sum, seeing that in New YORK
the cost is only s36 and In Connecticut and Penn
svlvania s23 Certainly no other department OF
state expenditure has increased in these -FOUR
years nearly so much as that for the SCHOOLS
and il may not unreasonably be doubted
whether there was need for so great an In
crease or whether results can be shown sur
icient to justify it
The schools are a proper ooJect OF genera
state support, but also of local support indeed,
we should say that their chief support snould
be local as. despite the states great bounty, it
now is. It is said that If the state retains more
of the railroad tax money for its own uses the
various school districts will have to raise more
school money locally. That is not convincing
If the schools had last year 81 ,So6,0oo more than
thev knew what to do with, surely they could
surrender $4,000 to the state and still have
comfortable surplus. But even If the districts
did have to raise more locally it might be well
for them TO do so. If for no other purpose
than that of restraining them from extrava-
gance At present there is in many places an
inclination TO indulge in all sorts of needless
expense on the ground that the state will pay
for it" 1t will be well for the people to feel
that they themselves will have TO pay for their
fads We may expect some OF the Democrats
of the state TO oppose the Governors plan In
the hope of compelling the Republican govern
ment to incur the supposed odium of REIN
posing a state tax, but the majority of thought
fu! people will probably approve the plan as
measure of sound and businesslike finance.

UNAPPRECIATED EFFORTS.

The gentlemen who, at the dinner OF the Dela-
ware Valley Society, started movement to keep
young men on the farms will probably have 70
look to their own consciences for reward. This
effort on the part Of successful city men to keep
boys In the country is entirely disinterested,
but it may be impossible to convince those IN
whose favor it was begun that It ia not deep
dyed scheme to protect insiders from the COM
petition Of husky youths fresh from the SOIL It
must be remembered that every country boy has
constantly dinned into his ears the idea that the
city is yearning for him, that It couldn't get
along without him, and that only negligible
proportion OF the successful men OF the city are
city born and bred. Probably about 99% per
cent of the intelligent youths of the country have
more or less definite plans for turning their at
tention cityward sooner or later and making the
natives sit up and take large amount OF notice
There is enough actual basis for the belief on
the part of the country boy that he is ft to CON-
pete with the city youth to make the success Of
any effort to direct his attention elsewhere than
toward the city extremely doubtful He reasons
that of those who have gone from the farms to
the business centres large enough proportion

HEROES OF THE TELEGRAPH

As between the wireless operators on the
Republic and the Baltic In the emergency which
recently arose off Nantucket, 1t would be hard
to say which is entitled TO the more honor
Binns. of course, knew that his llfe was IN
danger. at least for short time, and that the
worst misgivings of Captain Sealby might be
realized before help came. In sticking to his
most therefore he showed high courage. as wei
as devotion to duty Such heroism cannot he
admired too heartily. Tattersali, however. had
no easy task part OF his work was per-
formed under peculiar disadvantages. For
several hours after the Baltic turned back on
its mission Of mercy he had much trouble In
discovering what the Republic was trying 10
tell him. because after the wounded White Star
liners engine room filed her wireless apparatus
was obliged TO rely on storage batteries IN
sending dispatches. The difficulty was IN
creased. as Tattersall says, by the louder tones
in which one or two land stations were speak
ing at the time The strain thus imposed on
his nerves may we'll have exceeded that 20
which Binns was subjected
For ordinary marine service '1ntuned' in
struments are used. In consequence. messages
sent from one ship are pretty sure TO be heard
on other vessels within given range, though
the range depends on the power employed for
transmission. Captain Sealby sent one dispatch
which was especially addressed to the revenue
was meant for all stations within reach 1t
was both warning mot to run into him.
and a call for help Either directly or by
repetition it was conveyed to four or five liners
and nearly as many revenue cutters, and all Of
them sooner or later participated more sr less
actively in the work of relief, and those which
were provided with Hertz wave apparatus gave
an assurance Of their intentions.
In ordinary telegraph service under the
Morse system every operator on line hears all
messages which are going through but only one
at a time tries to send. somewhat similar
usage seems TO prevail in wireless telesraphy.
Under exceptional conditions one operator may
interrupt another, but as q rule, when an oper-
ator begins to send he is given the right Of way
until he finishes. AS the land stations men
toned by Tattersall in the interview printed by
The Tribune yesterday had more powerful
transmitters than the partly disabled one on
the Republic, 1t is easy to understand why
they drowned out the feeble whispers from that
ship. 1t may safely be assumed, however, that
the operators who thus hindered communica-
ton between the Republic and the Baltic did
not realize what they were doing. Perhaps the
impulses from the ship which lad received her
death blow were too indistinct to be heard on
shore

yEW ~yERsEr SCHOOLS AND TAXES.

The State Of New Jersey has for some years
beea trying 10 meet increasing expenditures
With fixed revenue, and the result as might
have been expected, is embarrassing. The
revenue of the state for state purposes is de-
aeed from two principal sources. both of which
are practically invariabe. One is the main
stem railroad tax. or a portion of it, from
which the state received 81. .o0S.SSS in 1891 and
Sf.oo0,2 ,2e5 IN 1905. The other is the tax on mis-
ceIlaneods corporations, which amounted 10
s. 30. .0S5 in 1894 and TO S2.4S4, 769 in 1905
While the states income has thus remained sta
tionary tie state has been growing in popua
ZION and in administrative needs. and the neceS
sary explnses of government have greatly in
creased
The income Of the state treasury is thus liked
because By law of 1906. the portion of the
main stem" railroad tax which the state may
reserve for itself is limited 70 a certain per-
oentage ali above that limit going 10 the state
school fund for distribution among the school
districts Governor Fort now proposes 10 raise
that limit g little. so that the state will have
about 100000 year more from that source.
That means a corresponding reduction of the
yearly contribution Of the state for the support
Of the schools, which has unpleasant sound;
but the sound Of IL is far worse than the thing
Itself. That the schools should be well sup
ported goes without saying. But they are not
the only institution which should be supported.
and they should eertainly not be maintained
traTaeantIy at the expense Of other vital iu-
terests OF fhe state. There Is some reason 10
suspect that since the apportionment of so large
q part Of the railroad tax 10 the schools there
has been tendency toward extravaganza.
Thus. ir the year J3o4-o5. the year before the
enactment OF the law in question, the total cost
of the public schools OF the state SO, ,556, 500.
That was a generous sum, amounting TO "a IS
head Of tie entire population, or about S2e
for every enrolled scholar. But for the present
wear le0s-'6o. appropriations are S16,673.0O0. to
which is 10 be addei an unused surplus left over
fyom last year of 10000 making total Of

THE c4mPA1GN AGAINST OPIUM.

The recent opium riots in some parts of China
are from one point of view to be regarded with
qualification They afford unmistakable proof
that the government is in earnest in its admin
istration of the law providing for the complete
extinction of the opium habit within ten years
from the date Of enactment If the law were
not being enforced, the people who are inter
ested in the opium traffic would not be protest
ing and rebeIling against it.. The government
is enforcing the law and is suppressing these
uprisings and there is encouragement TO be
ieve that it will persist until the end for which
the law was made is attained.
The problem Of opium suppression assumes
different phases in different parts Of the empire.
In some places it is question Of production, IN
others of use. In the northern and western
provinces poppies are widely cultivated and
large quantities of opium are produced and
only the native drug is consumed There IL Is
obviously more important to stop production
than consumption, since stoppage Of the former
would also stop the latter-other sources of
supply being shut off-while stoppage Of the
latter alone would let the former continue in
hope Of finding markets elsewhere
In the south and east particularly in its mari
time provinces the need IS chiefly for suppress
sion of the OF the drug Little, II any, opium
is produced there and the demand is supplied
through importations from abroad or from other
parts of the empire. The British government
now benevolently prohibits the shipment Of the
drug into China from Hong Kong but there
is reason for suspecting that the law is ex-
tensively evaded. Thus, fifteen chests OF opium
are daily disposed of in Hong Kong by the com
pany which has that traffic in hand under Of
fetal supervision. But scarcely three chests
aresactually consumed in Hong hong, wherefore
it is assumed that the rest Of the stuff Is SNUG
gIed into China.
At the beginning OF next month there will
be held at Shanghai an International conferences
