WOULD STOP
HANGING IN
THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT JAMES WOULD
DO AWAY WITH CAPITAL PUN
IsHMENT. AND PLACE PAR
DOMINO POWER WITH THE
LEGISLATURE.

The abollshment of capital punish
ment is one Of the recommendations
made by c. w. James, superintend-
ent of the state penitentiary. in his
annual report to the governor, which
was submitted to that Official yester-
day afternoon.
Superintendent James bases his
recommendation on the fact that
the executions for homicide in the
state have not had the effect of de-
creasing this crime, and gives 1t as
his opinion that life imprisonment,
provided the pardoning power is re-
stricted, will be equally as effective
in protecting society from this class
of criminals, and that 1t will also be
more in harmony with the progress
sive spirit of the age.
Hangings Increase.
In his report he shows that since
the enactment OF the law of 1908.
which provided that the executions
should take place at the state prison,
1S executions have taken place. This
lis the greatest number that has ever
been executed in a period OF seven
years in the state. and, according to
the observations of the superintend-
ent, they have not operated to de-
crease the crime of homicide. He
recommends that life imprisonment
take the place of capital punishment,
and that the pardoning power be so
restricted that person serving a
life sentence could be pardoned only
by the enactment OF law by the
legislature
Believes I'm Parole Law.
Superintendent James recommends
that the indeterminate sentence and
parole laws be used more literally by
judges of the circuit court. AS the
law now stands the courts may use
their discretion in imposing the in
determinate sentence but Mr.. James
believes that 1t should be made oblig-
atory, as often cases come up where
the prisoner is deserving of being pa
rolled, but, with a definite sentence
upon his head, 1t is impossible TO do

BOUNDARY

Attorney General Crawford. state
Engineer Lewis and Master Fish
Warden clanton returned last night
from Portland, whore they attended
a conference with the oticiais Of the
state Of Washington with relation to
the settlement OF the boundary line
between that state and this.
While the subject was discussed at
length at the conference, no settle
ment was reached, but on January
4 the same officials will again meet
at Portland and proceed up the Co
lumbia river and inspect the present
line, and It is believed that after this
tour OF inspection that plan of set
Element will be adopted. The bound
ary line was fixed by decision OF the
supreme court as far up the river as
Three Point. This gives Oregon Sand
Island, and 1t is the desire OF the
Washington authorities to so settle
the line that they will secure 1t, as
they fear that, In the course OF time.
IL will shoal up. Beyond Three Poin.
the line was not settled by the de-
cision .pf the court, and there are a
number OF islands in dispute. Among
others is Puget Island. one OF the
largest and richest islands In the
river. 1t is claimed by Washington,
and that state has SO far derived rev.
enues from It, but the boundary line
Is in dispute. and It may be that when
traced down It will show that 1t be-
longs to Oregon.

The fiimsy suits offered at cheap prices

dressed, but it is far better to put the
money into a simple mannishly built
suit of good material, unskimped in

EVIL.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t would seem to be about time to
regulate the bill board evil in this city
and vicinity. If this form of advertise
ing must exist at all it ought to be
confined to the business section of the
city. There is a growing tendency in
many wideawake communities to cur
tail this style of advertising, and New
ark could very profitably put into force,
some of the restrictions that other
cities have found to be practical.
Unsightly bill-boards should at least
be kept out of the residential sections
of the city, and an attempt made to
limit these eye-sores in parts of the
own where they are an offense to good
taste as well as to the sight. Many Of
our best residential sections are marred
by these boards. and If property own
ers object to their existence they have
failed to make much Roadway in cur
failing further encroachments.
In the general plan to make the city
more attractive this subject should be
given the attention that it deserves,
n some sort of dead-line should be
established so that b~ill-boards would
be restricted to certain sections where
they will be more in keeping with the
surroundings.

"'rhc New York Habit"

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Kindly allow me a little space to pro
test against the New York habit. People
living in Newark overlook the advan-
tages of this city, and every time they
go to New York spend money which
should be spent here. Having business
with a Newark resident in New York
last week | was surprised when he took
a train uptown from the Terminal
Building to get a meal, wasting time,
When we might just as well have come

where to eat here. but the meal we had
could be duplicated at a dozen places
in this city.
Now the men who are boosting New

ing here, are the business men and those
with interests here. Newark stores Of
fer just as good things as do those of
New York, a Newark barber shaves

work, and nothing can be obtained in

Any %patrolman might be a few min

a suspicious circumstance some dis

make him late, but those who are off

paying them their salaries unprotected

1Ta HE perspective of the man in Orange who cannot see far
enough into the future to recognize the manifest destiny of
the Oranges and all the communities surrounding Newark
be Incorporated some day into a greater city isn't very extensive
Whether the Oranges shall be consolidated into a single munich
pality II not is a question that in nowise affects the ultimate result
Where communities grow together and are indistinguishable in
their boundaries their marriag e is inevitable. Brooklyn was further
removed from Manhattan than the Oranges are from Newark, and
the local sentiment in Brooklyn was even more pronounced against
consolidation than Orange sentiment is But Brooklyn is now a
part of New York city. and it is due to that fact that Brooklyn has
made such enormous strides in progress. All great cities are com
prised of residential, business. manufacturing and commercial in
terests. One interest is the necessary complement of the others
The Oranges, whether separate or united, cannot be other than a
suburb without this blending of interests. And they need the Pas

facilities that are to be established there.

II a quiet and modest way the Newark Board of Education has
prepared to introduce a feature in the instruction of public
school children that is highly essential to their wellbeng.
Every boy and girl should learn the art of swimming. In childhood
it is easy TO acquire, and the pupil needs little practical instruction.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has planned free swimming lessons for boys, and
offers the benefits of its enterprise to the public schools. The school
principals are now authorized by the board committee to select the
boys who need this instruction. 1t is fair to say that 50 per cent.
of the schoolboys are unable to swim, and a much larger percentage
of the girls, for whom other provision can be made at a future time.
If swimming had always been part of the training in our public
schools the list of drownngs would be considerably less. The
swimmer can not swim is likely to be drowned in a trivial accident
person who cannot swim is likely to be drowned in a trivial accident
at the waterside that would be sport to the ordinary swimmer. Par
ents generally cannot swim, and are Indifferent to the importance
of having their children taught. Public policy dictates't that every
body should be a swimmer.

THE UNIT IN THE SENATE.

Sa HE New Jersey Senate is composed of twentyone members,
but as a working body it really consists of the president
and the chairmen of the principal committees, who control
all legislation. This unit within the Senate prescribes what bills or
resolutions the rest of the Senators shall be permitted to vote upon,
and it tells them how to vote on bills and resolutions. There is a
tradition called senatorial courtesy, and for the purposes of this
senatorial unit, a very convenient one, that forbids the majority to
exercise its parliamentary right to call a bill or resolution out of com.
lnittee. and 70 when a committee chairman holds a measure from
te Senate it sticks. Only the unit itself can release the measure.
In effect our representative legislative system is very much of a farce
and legislation by majority is largely a fiction. \ few men have
the absolute control in legislation. There are times, however, when
The senatorial unit is compelled to give way, namely, when public
sentiment is powerfully aroused or when dominant party interests
are endangered.
