tional customs-the custom of electing
legislators who are owned by the
trusts, body and soul; the custom of
pinning the public faith to a great
hunter, a great self-advertiser, who
has dom nothing but talk?
Surely 1t is time for the public to be-
come safe and sane politically. Let
us get away from hero worship; away
from the custom of taking for granted
h words Of cheap politicians spoken
from a f1ag-draped platform, and cor
fine ourselves to a personal investiga-
ton of things political-national and
international. A study of political
economy by reputed authors and the
use of ones brain, not ones sentiment,
will do more towards putting crooked
politicians out of office than all your
Roosevelts a possibly do.
Let us break away from tradition.
Let us do things because we think
they ought to be done, not because
our fathers thought SO. Let us write
another declaration of independence,
a declaration that will advocate the
public ownership of public utilities and
the abolition of wars, strikes, white
slavery, child labor and that national
institution, the trust, which produces
crime by producing poverty.

Oh, "pappy," how could you bring

dictatorship is the veriest bosh. 1t is
an insult to the intelligence of the peo-

any leader to the destruction of their
liberty. Roosevelt to them is more than

4 REPUBLICAN STATEMENT TO H VOTE

NV ATURALLY, the Republican State convention will indorse
I'M the Taft administration. 1t didn't require a conference of
State leaders to determine upon that course. The conven-
ton will also indorse all the acts of Congress, including the PAYNE
Aidrfeh tariff. To do otherwise would manifestly be a rebuke to
the two senators and all the Republican representatives, except
only Representative Fowler, of the Fifth district. A statement
to be issued this week by the executive committee of the State
committee viii prefgure the convention platform. The most i'm
portant election in New Jersey this year is that for Governor, and
as the State convention will make only the nomination for Gov
ernor and will have nothing to do with Federal affairs, the con
vention resolutions should deal principally with State matters.
So alse should the preliminary statement to be gotten out by the
State executive committee. Governor Fort has nearly ended his
administration, and it's record is about complete. What shall be
said of it? What shall be said of State legislation during the three
years since the last State convention was held? Obviously, if the
executive committee is going to make a statement to the voters State
affairs should have the precedence, for the committee is wholly a
State organization and it's work is wholly State work.

THE BATTLE OF The RACES.

IT I was demonstrated in the arena at Reno yesterday that the
negro, johnson, is now a better fighter than the white man,
Jehries. Before the battle the two men were regarded as the
best physical types of the two races. The presumption then was
that Jefrie5 had not deteriorated since his last appearance in the
ring, although there were many who believed otherwise. The ex-
hibition made by Jefries in yesterdays battle showed that his
physical powers were greatly impaired. Probably there was at
least one of several of the white onlookers in the arena who could
have beaten Jefries as readily as johnson did. Jefries was, there
fore, not the best physical type of the white race when he faced
the negro. johnson. But there can be no doubt that johnson him
self, with younger years, his marvellous development and his athletic
training, is the best physical example of the negro in the United
States. A race takes pride in its selected champions, and the negro
race in this instance had the good luck to have its strongest man
pitted against a white champion who was no longer even a first
rater in his physical prowess,

To the Edito- of the Evening Star:
In a recent newspaper attack made
upon former President Roosevelt by
Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincinnati,
father of the Duchess of Manches-
ter, Mr.. Zimmerman declared he would
become an English citizen If Mr.. Roose-
welt were elected President, and perhaps
chance to emigrate if the colonel runs
However, I would respectfully suggest
to Mr.. Zimmerman that he read that
immortal book THE Spirit of America"
by Henry Van Dyke. In affirmation
of the republic and the three branches
of the general government, page Sc:
But they express the purpose of a
self-reliant people not to let the ulti-
mate power pass from their hands to
any n of the instruments which they
lave created = the Americans

other nations sometimes think unreal
sonable and attached to them with a
devotion which other nations do not
always understand.
Nov and then you will fin one of
them who says that he would prefer a
monarchy or an aristocracy. But you
may be sure that he is an eccentric, or
a man with a grievance against the
custom house, or a fond person who
feels confident of his W place in the
royal family or at least in the nobility.
You may safely leave him out in trying
to understand the real spirit of Amer
ica."

TIE NEW JERSEY .SEACOAST.

STTa he summer vacation season is now under way and the New
Jersey seacoast is once more populous. From the Atlantic
Highlands to Cape May the seacoast glows with electric
lights. The crew of a steamer passing the capes and sailing up the
coast to New York bay see an almost continual stretch of lights
on the shore. A few years ago, except in a few patches, this was a
desolate waste of sand dunes. In a few years large and wealthy
communities have sprung up, and for many miles the coast has been
lined with hotels, villas and cottages. Fine roads have been built,
swamps made solid land, inlets from the ocean bridged and the
whole aspect of the coast transformed. An ocean boulevard will
soon be constructed to enable the auoist to travel the whole length
of the coast with the ocean ever in view. How long will it be be-
fore the New Jersey seacoast will be a continuous city, with as
much property wealth as Greater New York?

A CONSERVATION MOVE BY TAFT.

ea HE first act by President Taft that looks to conservation was
performed yesterday, when an order was issued withdrawing
from entry 1,454,S99 acres of water power sites, 2,594113
acres of phosphate lands and 4,447,119 acres of petroleum lands
belonging to the government. Orders were also signed for with
drawals Of lands and forests in Alaska in which workable coal
deposits exist These orders follow closely upon the two hours
meeting of Taft and Roosevelt at Beverly, where the President was
away from his kitchen cabinet at Washington and away from the
influences that beset him there. The supreme interest that Roose-
welt takes in conservation would impel him to impress his views
upon the President at a time when the latter seemed to be under
an influence hostile to the conservation policy.

THE PRESIDENT N H SUPREME COURT

II 4 Nth the death of Chief Justice Melville Weston Fuller,
WV President Taft will have four justiceshp appointments IN
the early part of his term. There are nine justices OF the
United States Supreme Court, and if Mr.. Taft gets the appointment
of a fifth Justice a majority of the court will be his appo1ntees.
Justice Moody, the youngest of the members of the court, whose
judicial circuit includes New Jersey, was a Roosevelt appolntee.
He is about to retire on account of ilhealth. Justice Harlan IS OF
the age of the late Chief Justice Fuller. All the remaining justices
are 10 far advanced in years that there is a Likelihood OF announcer
vacancy by death before March q, 1912, when Tafts term will expire.
The power to constitute the majority of the United States Supreme
Court, the supreme authority in our whole scheme of national and
State government, is a momentous one, transcending in Importance
all other powers of the President.

The inclination to return to work to-

three-day holiday. Some quiet holi-

exceedingly active ones often furnish

truest rest was to be gained through
change of occupation. Therefore, the

WHAT WILL ROOSEVELT DO NEXT?

NAY HAT will be Roosevelfs second move on the political chess
WV board? The first he has made proved a dismal failure.
But the rebuff at Albany does not feaze a man like
Roosevelt. 1t will, rather, have a stimulating effect. The period
for his abstinence from politics will soon be ended. His next
appearance will be in a larger field and a more important role.
But what will it be? That question is asked in conferences of the
Republican leaders and in editorial sanctulns, and it will be an
swerai by Roosevelt himself, perhaps unexpectedly and, Of course,
bsnsationaly.
