A voio. From the Goods"

In a certain theater which makes q
speciality of melodrama there Is q
large following Of gallery gods" and
very naturally the "sky" assemblage Is
composed Of knowing critics, who are
loud In their demands to be pleased
Woe unto the actor who is unfortunate
enough to incur their displeasurel
Recently play with hair raising
plot was put on the boards. The hero
was evidently new to his part, for he
fumbled his lines badly and spoke In
a faltering tone. Perhaps it was fol-
this reason that he did not meet with
the sympathy Of the gallery.
Just before the crisis of the play the
hero clasped his sweetheart in his arms
and said:
Keep a brave heart, my darling
The worst is yet to come"
Whereupon voice that had no doubt
received its training In crying "Extryl'
on the street yelled out:
what are y goin' t. do, mister
sing r'-London Tit-Bits.

The RIushina Tree.

The blushing tree gets its name from
the change Of hue it assumes when
the rain falls on 1t. AS the drops
drench the leaves, gradually but un-
mistakably the green tint gives way to
pink. In a few minutes the green
fades from sight. Only in few half
hidden spots beneath broad branches
and on its trunk is there a tinge Of
green to be seen. After an hour or
more, when the shower is over. the
tree assumes its familiar green once
more. Certain tiny insects, and no.
the tree itself, change color These
peculiar parasites are possessed OF the
power Of chameleons. In the warm
sunshine they are greener than the
tree on which they live, but when the
chilly rain falls upon them they con-
tract their tiny backs and become
pretty pink in tint. Millions OF these
change the entire appearance OF the
tree and make it seem to be blushing.

Editorial Comment.

II the Court of Errors and Appeals shall
sustain the Supreme Court decision an
nounced last week declaring the consti-
nationality of the amendment OF 1905 to
the collateral inheritance law, the state
will secure an important income from the
stock of New Jersey corporations owned
by the estates of nonresident dec edents
and going to collateraliheirs. This income
is another large pecuniary advantage to
the state from its policy of encouraging
the location of corporationsiin New Jersey.
Under the law as interpreted by the Su-
preme Court, all such corporation stock
belonging to estates. whether OF residents
or non-residents, that may be bequeathed
to others than legal heirs, or may be in
herited collaterally, will pay the state tax
of five per cent. Inheritance taxes prop
erly belong to the state, and not to the
Federal government. II congress should
mass an inheritance tax, the effect would
be to compel the repeal Of the state laws

world and built by modern masous
will be standing 500 years hence. We
do not know how to put stones and
bricks together as the ancients did,
and consequently the buildings we

ago, are in as good condition as they

PAROLE or pardon of evil-doers Is some
times necessary and commendable, but 1t
Is often open to criticism, and the re-
cent action of the Court of Pardons In
the case of two convicts from Burlington
county is not entirely satisfactory to the
people of this community. One of the
men was the organizer of a gang of
chicken thieves and he did not hesitate to
stoop to any means to ply his nefarious
trade He deserved more of sentence
than he got and there was feeling OF
relief when he was put away for even the
short time that the court saw fit to give
him. Chicken stealing has been one of
the crimes that has cost the farmers of
this county more annoyance and expense
than any other form of theft. and the
conviction and sentencing of the offenders
has reduced the crimes to great extent.
If the penalties imposed are to be re-
mitted after very short service there
does not seem to be much use in sending
the prisoners up. The other case was one
where man was sentenced In November,
1907, for assault and battery with intent
to kill. After serving about year and a
half he was released. This was a sentence
that should not have been interfered
with. The convicted man ought to be
glad that he escaped capital punishment.
The case was q clear one of intent to
kill" and 1t was only an accident that the
intent was not carried out. The courts
which heard the cases and imposed the
sentences should be given some considera-
ton in these applications for commuta-
ton There is not much satisfaction to
the court nor feeling of security on the
part of the public to have the judgment
of the law. inflicted after due delibera
ton, set aside at the request of outsiders
who are actuated merely by friendship
or other motives.

Another politician who could not stand
criticism is reported to be Frank 8. Kat
zenbach, Jr., late Democratic candidate
for Governor, who has renounced his Pres
byterian faith and been confirmed In that
of the Protestant Episcopal Church. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Katzenbach took umbrage
at sermon by his Presbyterian pastor, in
which he is supposed to have criticised the
formers attitude on the liquor question
when he was a candidate for Governor. OF
course, Mr.. Katzenbach's friends deny
that any such thing influenced him in his
change Of faith, but that it was due to the
fact that he desired to be in sympathy
with his wife, who is prominent member
of the Episcopal Church. But other MEM
bers of Mr.. Katzenbach's family have
withdrawn from the Presbyterian church,
which gives color to the report that the
political sermon had some influence In the
change, Mr. Katzenbach, however, has
right to change of religious creed when
his conscience suggests 1t, but 1t is too bad
that his late change was not one of politi-
cal belief. His stalwart Democracy can
not be questioned. - Camden Courier.
of the Sc votes against free lumber
in the Senate, on Tuesday, II were cast
by Democrats. The free lumber advocates
were able to muster only 25 votes, Is OF
these being cast by Republicans. Such re-
markable breaking down Of party lines on
the issue of protection was never known in
the Senate. The Democrats voting to re-
tain duty on lumber went squarely back
on their party platform, which demands
that lumber be put upon the free list. The
Republicans who voted to remove the
duty cannot be charged with equal incon-
sistency. 1t was case where local In
terests had greater weight with consider
able number of Senators than had party
and national interests. The South having
lumber to sell, wants the duty retained,
and the party declaration is brushed aside
as of no consequence. The Democratic

On THE 10Th of the present month there
will be very interesting trial In the
Camden county courts, when those ia
dicted for misdemeanors In connection
with the affairs Of the State Mutual Build
ing Association will be put before q jury,
provided the motion to quash the indict-
ments, which undoubtedly will be made,
is not allowed. The motion for struck
jury was allowed by. Judge Joline who,
after stating that he believed the present
panel of jurors was good one, said he
saw no reason for receding from that
view, but he further stated that in case
like this, in which there had been such
widespread comment, he thought 1t was
due the defendants and prosecutor as
well that they should be allowed list
from which they might strike such names
as might appear Objectionable. 1t is rather
difficult to see how a struck jury is going
to materially aid this case, especially for
the defendants, who made the motion.
The Judge who granted the motion ad-
mitted that the present panel is good
one, and 1t will be hard to select from
Camden county sufficient number OF
men who have not formed some conclu-
sion as to what has been one of the most
widely commented. upon affairs of recent
date. A change of venue might have
been more beneficial. but even then 1t will
be found that opinions of very strong
character have been formed all over the
state, for the Building Association which
has become SO badly tangled was not 9

TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1909

YEARS ago the Legislature deprived
justices of the peace In the principal cities
of their civil jurisdiction. The criminal
jurisdiction Of the justice is limited, and
is too often abused. A justice In Bergen
county, elected and commissioned without
any knowledge of the law, tried q man
for larceny and committed him to Jail.
He had no jurisdiction In the case. Judge
Demarest, of Bergen, has given the igno-
rant justice until to-day to resign his COM
mission. In Mercer county justice &C.
cused Of extorting money from automo-
bile owners on the highways escaped i'm
parchment by resigning. Only when some
fragrant offense Is perpetrated by justice
OF the peace Is the case reported, and few
offenders are punished. The anomaly is
that this petty Office, which has fallen so
much into contempt, is anchored In the
Constitution, and ordinarily to get rid of
an unworthy justice there must be as
much official machinery set IN motion and
as much energy as would be needed to i'm
peach and remove Governor. 1t is like
using trip-hammer to kill fly. The
Office is obsolete. A system of petty JUS
tice is essential, but this system has de-
generated into one of petty injustice, do
minated by ignorance and greed, and the
poor are often its victims.-Neso0rk Star

REMoNsTRAEoRs against the application
Of William J. Thompson for renewal of
license to sell liquor at Washington Park
created some sensation last week and
there were reports that questionable
methods had been taken to secure
evidence. The story was that the lawyer
for the remonstrants had got the names
of children and had suggested that they
take affidavit to the effect that unlawful
practices were the rule at the park. The
children who where subp0naed were those
who had been the guests of Mr.. Thomp-
son on the days of his annual picnics to
the poor children of the cities. This ap-
peared to be sharp practice but when the
true facts became public 1t had different
aspect. The statutes of 1908 provide that
any person having license to sell spiri-
tuous, vinous, malt or brewed liquors, his
agents or servants, who shall suffer or
permit any minor under the age Of eigh-
teen years to frequent or lounge in the
room or place where such liquors are kept
or sold. shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
The remonstrance mentioned was based
on the ground that, at the time of the
picnics in question, children were allowed
to lounge at the park while liquor was
being sold. Judge 6tarr-who by the
way is accused Of being crank" on the
subject of liquor license-decided that the
statute was not intended to cover such
cases as public parks and very properly
granted a renewal Of the license.
