WELL ERRORS COURT
WASN'T

amendment aboishing lay representation in the Court of Errors
and Appeals. By the plan proposed the courts would be com,
posed of lawyers, all of similar training and habits of life and
thought, and of about the same mental bias. The theory of the
lay, or special, iudgeships is that it introduces in the court the
element of practical knowledge of affairs and business common
sense to act as a foil for the technicalities and abstruse reasoning
of the law judge, who necessarily lives in his law books and musty
precedents, and is not in touch with the world of humanity and it's
everchanging condition. The New Jersey Court of Errors and
Appeals, with its six special judges, differs essentially from the
New Jersey Supreme Court, and a striking evidence of this differ
ence in character and trend of thought is furnished at the term
of the Appellate Court this week by the large number of reversals
of Supreme Court opinions, the most notable being the highly i'm
portant opinion in the case involving the use of subsurace water.
In that case the Supreme Court adhered to its musty precedents.
1t was obivious of the juster view of the ownership of percolating
waters that a more enlightened generation has adopted and which
is entirely in harmony with the principle of property rights. In
other recent decisions the Appellate Court has by reversal salts
fed the sense of right and justice where the Supreme Court had
failed to do so.

GREAT OF
THE CUSTOMS FRAUDS

ministration to such an extent that a long session of the Presi-
dents cabinet has been deemed necessary to consider the situation,
and more particularly in relation to the sugar trust, which has
already refunded 100000 of graft to the government and is
charged with about $10,000,00O more. The truth, as now revealed,
is that for years the custom house has literally been a den of
thieves. Importers were in collision with certain Federal en-
ployees to rob the government of it's dues. There were complaints
at Washington, and they passed unheeded. Investigation was
discouraged. 1t is even charged that through an assistant secre-
tary of the treasury sugar trust officers were made aware of
charges and placed on their guard. This plumber of the govern
ment went on unchecked throughout the Roosevelt administration,
although it was done so openly that evidence was not wanting at
any time. At the special session last summer the sugar trust was
singularly favored in the tariff bill by the retention of the dutch
standard" in appraising sugar importations, a device that compels
the sale OF raw sugar from abroad to the sugar trust. The course
to be taken by the administration will be watched with keen in
terest. II guilty men "higher up escape, the sugar trust will cut
no small figure in the congressional elections next year.

orders, is president of the Board of Education of Closter Borough
in Bergen county, is a lawyer doing business in New York, and
is "a years of age. There is some doubt as to the majority leader

no compromises with party recalcitrants at the next session, and

RAILROAD
FOR THE FARMER

lishment of a model farm of fifty acres near Seaford, Delaware.
The region is a peninsula, located in Delaware, Maryland and Vr.
ginia, and has a rich SOIL but an unprogressive and inert popu
lation. The railroad company desires to show to these people
the riches in their soil that can be developed by intelligent and
industrious husbandry. 1t will be a powerful obectlesson. A
similar experiment was begun four years ago by the Long Island
Railroad Company, which utilized some worthless" land on Long
Island to make two farms. In two years the farms became so
richly productive that $50 different varieties of plants were grown,
and their educational effect upon Long Island farmers is seen
everywhere. The railroad company has a business interest in
these experiments, but how admirably railroad enterprise in this
respect serves the welfare of the people and contributes to the
prosperity AZ States.

Sir-On Monday last ~. M" mounted
the "rostrum" in order to register a COM
plant against the Public Service Com
pany. l assume he was in earnest, but
his tor did not convince me. He
seemed to be struggling with a desire
to be sincere and sarcastic at the same
time, with the latter spirit in the as
tendency at the end.
With his general complaint I am in
accord. The conditions prevailing at
the -Four Corners between the hours
of D and Z in the evening are indeed
appalling. Relief must soon be provided
by the Public Service Company or
fatalities will ensue.
But until such relief is afforded the
public should furnish its share of help.
This it is not now doing. Instead of
going to the forward part of the car
the average passenger will stop just
within the rear doorway. Requests of
the conductor to move forward are
without avail. The rear of the car is
quickly blocked with a struggling mass
of humanity. while forward there is
plenty of space.
If you al bring the public to a sense
of its duty in this regard you will in
decd be comforting a great favor. May
l ask you to lend your efforts to its
accomplishment? SQUARE DEAL.

say a few words in reference to the
condition Of the sidewalks on the ma

improvements to be made it seems to
me that the sidewalks should be con-
sidered first. In the outlying districts
the sidewalks are simply abominable
in rainy weather. Some of these
streets, too, have no sidewalks, and
pedestrians, in going through these
places, are forced to walk through a
series of mud holes. Speaking of the
dangers, how many persons have con-
tracted colds which nave resulted ia
tally because of these oversights on
the part of the city authorities and

CHARITY BRINGS ILL EFFECTS

ROME. Jan. 21.-Italy is con-
fronted with a grave problem, the
necessity which has arisen for car
ing for 100000 people who were
made homeless by the earthquakes.
These people dispersed not only to
the interior of their native provinces,
but have also gone In great numbers
to Naples and other large cities of
the country.
Their sustenance is costing $780,
900 day, a sum which neither the
government nor international charity
can long support.
The bestowing of charity is having
an i'll effect upon the lower classes
and many disorders are occurring. II
is strongly urged public works be in
augurated to afford employment to
those who can labor and that char
ity be reserved for those who are sick
