To the Editor of the Star:
Dear Sir-I am becoming quite in
terested in 1.-THE Peoples Rostrum."
1 have been following the COM
munications closely and have had
borne in upon me n very strik-
ing fact, namely, that the average
person prefers to condemn rather
than to praise.
We have all much to be thankful
for. There is not one OF us who
may not find something to be CRATE
full for, but the spirit of criticism
prevails and fault-fnding is hecom-
ing a habit.
l appreciate, of course, that gov
ernments are not perfect, that cor
porations are supposed to be soul.
less, that business integrity is often
overborne by dishonesty, and that
mankind Is subject to the prompt
ing of both good and evil. Be-
lieving in the existence of these
grounds for un~easiness, l still assert
that more good could be accom-
plished by a show of confidence
than a constant state of distrust.
The tendency of human nature is
TO acclaim evil and to be suspicious
of the good. 1t is sad, inded, that
such tendency should prevail, and
sadder that it must be ayerred; but
being eve ready with III griev-
ances, we should show equal coure
age in our confessions.
This is not intended as a sermon,
1t Is a feeble protest against the
o~n-rushing tide of criticism, and a
prayerful hope that we may be
brought to a realization of the fact
that there is much in life we should
praise. Sincerely yours,
JONATHAN MILLER.

to the canaffompanies. The State granted large powers and valu-
able terminals, the municipalities gave land and privileges, while
private propertyowners donated land for the canal, with only the
reversionary right if canal navigation should be abandoned. In the
construction of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, about the same
time, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland gave important State
aid, and the enterprise was further aided by municipalities and
property-owners. The purpose for which these canals were con-
sructed was the same as that which Newark has in view in her

AUTOMOBILE LAW
NOW ESTABLISHED

tOurI ruFeB that Tue act IS
constitutional. One of the points came under the interstate com
meree law-did the Legislature have the right to pass a law re
curing a license for a vehicle carrying interstate goods? The
answer to that is that, as there is no inherent right to use the high
ways, the interstate commerce law does not apply. The opinion
asserts that the automobile is a machine that comes under police
jurisdiction for the protection of the public, and that the tax upon
it is really a license, which is a legitimate exercise of the police
power. The license is a privilege under restrictions. This opinion
establishes the automobile law of New Jersey, and the State can
60 on and collect it's large revenue from the tax.

woman was a patient, and crawled to the attic to hide, and died
there. But why, then, the fact that the disappearance of the

is the evidence of fire, even the skeleton showing the effect. The
