REAL MEANING Of THE "WAKELEE ACT

TIA ORMER Congressman Eugene W. Leake is still convinced that
the Senate bill 70. introduced by Senator Wakelee and
signed by the Governor. is retroactive and will cripple the
McCran antidversion act passed at the last session. Mr.. Leake Is
alone among lawyers in his opinion, and the Governor was fully
convinced before signing the bill that it had no possible effect. The
new law makes no change in any existing statute except as TO the
word "limitation" The McCran bill relates to subsurface water
only, and has no application to surface or surplus water. The East
Jersey Water Company does not deal in subsurface water and owns
no subsurface water rights. The corporation act of 1875 is not
affected in any way by the Wakelee act. The word Limitation adds
nothing to the statute that was not there before-in the words of
the statute, ANY right vested or accrued" 1t would appear; in fact,
that if any right that is ended has become limited the use of the
word "limited' makes it more assured that the right is ended. In
brief, the Wakelee act is moi a reviving one, but an act to prevent the
revival of any right that has become ended by limitation of time or
otherwise. Such is the opinion of lawyers who have closely ex-
amined the Wakelee act, and it is the judgment of the Governor
who signed the act.

AN EXODUS OF ALDR1CH SENATOR'S.

@3NAT0R GALLINGER, of New Hampshire, and Senator Bur
rows, of Michigan, of the Aldrich old guard in the Senate,
seem to be booked to g out of senatorial life either yolun
tarly or by compulsion. A powerful sentiment has been developed
in Michigan against the reelection of Burrows by reason of his
reactionary course in the Senate. In Michigan the next United
States senator will be chosen in primary, and therein lies peril for
Burrows. New Hampshire is rockribbed, but among Republican
voters there is a rapidly growing dissatisfaction with Senator Gal
linger ON account of his constant support of Aldrchism. IT is be
lieved at Washington that Gallinger will announce his withdrawal
before the party primaries are held. The going out of four senators
who constitute the backbone of Aldrchism in the Senate and the
defeat of other senators of the same group for reelection will make
a great change in the Senate. Younger men will come to the fore,
the Senate will be more of a representative and deliberative body
than it has been. one man domination will cease and there won't
be that close connection with great vested interests that has OBJ
tanned for some years.

MONDAY EVENING, APRIL s5, 1910.
GOVERNOR FORT AND H sENAToRsHIP.

"OVERNOR FORT, it is promised, will make a statement to-
VT morrow at Trenton definitely defining his position in regard
to the United States senatorship. Governor Fort has now
stripped himself of all the official patronage of his term and, there
fore. has no official rewards to offer to gain support. His term
will expire prior to the election of a United States senator by the
Legislature next January, and, consequently, he will not be IN
hibited from an election if he chooses to be a candidate. Governor
Fort has said. and repeated. that he was not a candidate for the
senatorship. but it has been assumed that if he should receive a
primary nomination he would not be averse to having his name
90 before the Legislature in the joint meeting. A United States
senatorship is never sneezed at. The Governors statement, II made
tomorrow. will command a great deal of public interest.

CAMDEN HAS AMBITIONS AND HOPES.

H1 AMDEN county politicians are not modest in their claims
" upon the party organizations this year. The Camden Repub-
leans demand the Hon. David Baird for United States sen
ahr and State Senator Bradley for Governor. The Camden county
Democrats demand the nomination of former Mayor Nowrey, of
Camden city. for Governor. 1t is understood that each and all of the
Camden men thus favored are willing. If all Republican South Jer-
sey below Mercer favors Baird for senator he will have twenty votes
in the joint session, or twenty0ne short of a majority. If all South
Jersey supports Bradley or Nowrey for Governor they will get less
than a fourth of the convention delegates. 1t is an uphill job to
secure a South Jersey nomination for Governor or United States
senator, but the STAR extends its good wishes TO the ambitious
politicians, Republican and Democratic, of that aspiring section.

REPRESENTING HIS NATION ABROAD.

NAV HILE Roosevelt is in Europe as a representative American
WV and as former President of the United States, receiving
the attentions and cOurtesies of rulers and people. the
voice of parhsanship should not be raised at home in connection
with his personality. A nation has every reason to be gratfed
when a simple citizen, wearing only the honorary title of colonel,
is thus honOred abroad. To the credit of the American press there
has been little shown of the political partisan spirit, and only in a
few newspapers envenomed against the man. The tributes paid to
Roosevelt have been accepted as complimentary to the American
nation, which they are. There is no doubt of that sentiment among
the populations of Italy and Hungary, which were so warmly
friendly in their manifestations. There should be, and is, an I'M
usual feeling of qualification in the United States at the address
by Roosevelt before The Sorbonne in Paris, and there is confidence
that Roosevelt will make as creditable a figure as a scholar at the
Berlin University and in England.

1t Is d sad case. A disgrace to our

with the law, and still retained In the
important position of an auditor.
Failure would be the outcome If tax
payers conducted their own business on
the lines that they allow the city's
business to &c on.

Lewis for our next Governor and Dave
Mcintyre our next mayor-Rah. Rah!!'
Let's clean up, make a fresh start; leave
out self and the friend for a time. We
want just a business proposition in
the affairs of our city; that's all, and
we are entitled to that.
Representatives of the people must

something to fill the Bill. It's dead easy
to do when costing nothing. l nomi-

Proof Of the fact that the business

who did not know him even were
feeling sorry that they had not
thought to sell him one of Newark's

However, investigation sho wed the
Newarker to have been a party to a
most remarkable transaction. In
return for his money he received a
genuine deed to Trenton's old City
Hall property and now actually
owns 1t.

ADJOURNMENT AT WASHINGTON.

TT T is expected that Congress will adjourn the middle of June.
None of the five socalled administration bills has been passed,
and there is no certainty that any of them will be gotten
through at this session. And yet the majority in Congress has every
incentive to pass these bills before adjournment. The elections will
take place before the second session begins. and failure to do any
thing for conservation, for antiinjunction. for railroad control, etc.
