MAKES JERSEY CITY RICH.
Can Collect Back Licenses on Street
Cars Due Since 1867.

Trenton, N. j., July 21.-Justice
Swayze in the supreme court has filed
an opinion that the North Jersey
Street Railway company must pay
Jersey City an immense amount for
street car licenses not collected since
1867. The fee on each car Is $40. JUS
tice Swayzee said that If the company
and city could not agree upon the
amount he would determine it him
self.
The case has been before the court
several years. The suit was instituted
by Mark M. Pagan when he was
mayor of Jersey City, and he charged
that there had been collusion between
the street car company and the city.

sENAToRsHIP NOT FOR KERN.

Poor John W. Kern. of Indiana,
he who would have been elected vice
president on the democratic ticket
along with William Jennings Bryan,
last fall if the predictions made by
the political rainbow chasers as to
the number of states they would
carry had held good, has met with
sore disappointment again in failing
to land the United States senatorship.
After the election, when it was found
that the democrats had carried
Indiana, it was freely prophesied
that the Legislature would give its
support to Kern and land him in a
seat in the senate for the next six
years, but the fates decreed other wise.
For years John W. Kern has led
forlorn hopes in Indiana and had he
not been saddled with the notorious
Tom Taggart this time he might have
won this much coveted honor. But
there were other democratic martyrs
in Indiana besides Kern. One Of
these was Ben Shlvely, of South Bend,
whe had been a member of congress
from his district several terms, and
received the democratic vote for
senator in the legislatures which elect
ed Fairbanks and Beveridge. He had
been receiving complimentary votes
and other empty honors for the past
twenty years and always looked
pleasant over it. but this was the
time when he made a winning fight
and landed a majority vote on the
goth ballot
Shively is popular man in his
home city and county, big fellow
over six feet TALL broad -shouldered,
open faced and open handed, but he
will not be in position to do much
for his state at Washington.

Rojestvensky, the Russian admiral,
Is dead from heart failure He was
commander of the Russian fleet which
made the long voyage during the

smacks off the English coast under the
impression that they were the enemy S
torpedo boats. and finally had his fact
smashed to smithereens by the mighty
Togo in the naval engagement that
took place on the Sea of Japan. II

The published report of "the
whiskey trust" shows that forty-one
million gallons less whiskey were
produced last year than in 1907. The
temperance wave which has been
sweeping over the country seems to
be producing tangible results. But
more than all is the tendency of the
times not to employ drinking men in
any important business capacity. It
takes clear brains to do successful
business of any kind in these days of
keen and strenuous competition.

when in a dense fog the passenger

earthquake refugees on board. Both

was so badly injured that she sunk
about eight o'colck the same evening,

the normal schools, and no one can
be elected to the principalship of the
many county training schools without
his approval. By being d member of
the board of regents of the state uni
versiIy and the normal schools, he
has considerable influence in the
management of these institutions He
is frequently requested to suggest men
for high school positions or for the
position of city superintendent. Those
who are engaged in school work
know that in all of these ways state
superintendent has an opportunity to
place men under obligation to him.
These who have been engaged in
school work in Wisconsin during
Supt Cary's administration know that
he has made use OF this opportunity
to strengthen himself and increase his
chances of reelection. At the last
two meetings of the State Teachers
association he was severely criticised
for the manner in which he had made
use of the power which was conferred
on him by law. When he has thus
made uss of his official position to in
crease his chances of re election, it i'll
becomes him to criticise another for
doing the same thing. The people
have right to indicate by law what
officers there shall be in the depart
ment of education and how these
officers shall be elected. The head Of
the department has no right to as
sumo that. because he is the head of
.he department, he ought to have the
power to select the other officers By
the civil service law, the people have
indicated how the other officers are
to be selected The head of this de-
partment has no right to complain of
the fact that the people have delegated
that power to another body. The
civil service law was enacted because
the former method of filling the
subordin to places was not satisfactory
to the voters. Mr.. Cary has twice
been elected to the Office of state
superintendent He has had a short
term and long term and during the
latter he has received higher salary
than any former state superintendent
and has had more help than any
former superintendent At the same
time it can not be claimed that he
has done more than any former super
intendent for the improv ment of the
schools in Wisconsin. 1t has been
the custom in Wisconsin to give a
superintendent a second term and 1T
has been assumed that the Office ought
then to be passed on to another. Two
terms ought to be enough to give
man an opportunity to carry out his
plans. A new man will have other
plans for advancing the schools of the
state. The writer has taught schools
IN Wisconsin for many years and he
knows that change in the Office Of
state superintendent has always re-
suited in new improvements in the
schools of the state for the reasons
stated above. When an officer feels as
though the Office belongs to him. and
he acts as though no one else had a
right to aspire to it, it is time for
change. - Reader

State Superintendent of Schools.

(Contributed)
This spring State Superintendent
of Schools is to be elected. This is
one of the most important state offices
for no other man has a greater op-
portunity to shape the educational
policy O: the state than the State
Superintendent.
There are several candidates for the
Office among which probably L. w.
Wood former rural school inspector
and the present Superintendent, G.
P. Cary, have created the largest in
terest.
Superintendent Cary has served two
terms and one of them was long
term, thus he has been in Office longer
than any o her superintendent. 1t is
and ought to be against public policy
to elect man to this high Office for a
third term; especially is this true if
the officer is not of exceptional ability.
Mr.. Wood is an exceptionally
strong candidate. He is we'll prepared
for the position having taught in tne
common schools. In the high schools,
served as city superintendent and as
rural school inspector. In all of
these positions he proved his ability.
The New North of Rhinelander
says of him: "Mr. Woods past ex-
perience fits him for all lines of
school work. He is the best fitted in
experience and education of any
candidate we know to take up the
work of state superintendent. y" The
Madison Democrat says: ''Mr. Wood
is one of the forceful educators of the
state and in a discussion of any
educational question he goes directly
to the pith of the matter. . The
foregoing are but samples of what is
being said of Mr.. Wood by the papers
all over the state.
When Mr.. Wood announced his
candidacy as superintendent, he was
holding the Office of rural school
inspector. As this is one of the ap-
pointive offices under the superin-
tendent, Mr. Wood at once resigned.
This was in accordance with fairness
to Supt. Cary and an understanding
between Mr.. Wood and his friends.
After Mr.. Cary had appointed new
rural school inspector. he took occa
sion to criticize the civil service law
which regulates the appointments of
the various OFFICES in the superin
tendent's' Office. AS an answer to
his criticism the following taken from
the Milwaukee Sentinel of Jan. II
will be of interest:
SUPT. CARY CRITICISED.
In today's Sentinel, while announc-
the appointment of Mr.. Larson as the
new rural school inspector, Supt
Cary has expressed some ideas that
ought to be challenged. He appears
to object to the civil service law be-
cause it prevents him from having
more patronage at his disposal. AS
a matter of fact, the state superin.
tendent still has more patronage at
his disposal than any other state Of
fcer. He fills vacancies in the office
of county superintendent practically
appoints all institute conductors for
summer Institutes, appoints the mem
bers of the visiting boards to all of
