GOVERNOR AS RULER OF THE LEGISLATURE.

III EFORE the incoming Legislature meets in session IN Janu
I'D airy the legislators and the people of the State Will nave
time to reflect upon the attitude finally taken by Governor
States senator, as announced in a statement given to the morning
newspapers. Both the Federal and State constitutions provide
against any encroachment by the Governor upon the powers OF the
Legislature, especially in the choice of a United States senator,
which is given exclusively to the Legislature. The Governorelect
in the statement he makes public arbitrarily assumes that the next
senator has already been chosen for the 100000 voters of the State
by $4,000 votes, and that the Legislature has no alternative but
freetrader and freesiverite and would be in no sense a repre-
sensitive either of his party or his State. There would be no
quarrel with Mr. Wilson if his preference was merely a personal
one, and not, as he makes it, an official one, for the Legislature,
perforce, to adopt. Governors are entitled to private Judgment IN
matters outside of their official station and prerogatives as long
as they do not attempt to force their private judgment upon the
legislative body. That act amounts to usurpation. The present
act by the Governor-elect has no parallel in State history, and it
will be recalled that no governor in the past has attempted to
dictate to the Legislature in matters outside of his authority with
out rebuke by the Legislature. The issue presented in the act by
the Governorelect overshadows everything else relating to the
senatorship. The personality of the next senator, whether he be
Tom, Dick or Harry, is a minor question now. By a strange con-
fusion of ideas the Governorelect appropriates to himself a die
tatorship of the legislative branch of the State government,
officially selects his candidate for the United States senatorship
and tells the Legislators that they are inhibited from any other
choice. Obedience to such an audacious mandate by an irrespon-
sible authority is, Of course, out of the question, even though there
be apprehension among some Legislators that the power of patron
age may be used to penalize them.

human lives, which cannot be replaced.
Such a ~life-saving corps can be placed
in service for less thar So, 200 and MAIN
tanned at a cost of less than $4,000 a
year--a pro rata of less than w cents
per person! Is 1t not worth it?
AS soon as they close the funds for
these bereaved sufferers have n of
u evening papers start just such an
other fund to present this addition to
the Newark fire department. There
are a number of aeronauts, steeple-
jacks, sailors and riggers in and about
the city hat are adapted for just such
work and can become. more efficient in
the use of the many ~life-saving devices
by constant practise and use. I have
myself used scaling ladders and can
reach the root of a four-story build
ing while they are raising an extension
ladder. Just think of what service this
would have been at the High street
fatality!
With such equipment every life could
have been saved at this High street
fire. l will donate my services free to
start just such a ~life-saving corps and
rehearse men in the use of scaling a
ders. Now, let everyone start things
a-going and be ready to cope with
just such another calamity. Newark

disciples of Mrs. Eddy, who kept near
her for years, and. it has been charged,
kept relatives from her, from getting
control of the money.
The outcome of this legal war will be,
I predict. the downfall of the Christian
Science Church. which has had a re-
markable mushroom growth, men and
women who had no settled religious
views or beliefs flocking to 1t n
adopting Mrs. Eddy's peculiar ideas
with the blind ardor of a Mohammedan
Zealot.
While she lived she was able to keep
down others ambitions to control the
sect. Now that she is dead many am
bilious ones will certainly strive for tho
leadership. 1t has always been so In
human institutions. especially those
that claimed a religious character.

PROHIBITION OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

6S HE Christmas tree is the great symbol of the Christmas hoIi-
II day and belongs to its earliest traditions. 1t is the one
feature of the festival that appeals most strongly to child
hood. In the earlier days when trees were plenty on this continent
and people were few it was no robbery of nature to cut a Christmas
tree for the children. But our forests have grown Less, while the
people have vastly increased in number, and the Christmastree
custom has now come to be looked upon as a serious factor in the
destruction of our forests. 1t is hard to give up a custom and usage
sanctifed by ideal associations and so beautiful in itself, but to that
complexion must we come at last. Vermont is a forest State, and
it has contributed heavily from it's forests to the Christmas custom.
Vermont now proposes to put a heavy tax on Christmas trees cut in
that State. If the Legislature shall pass a bill increasing the
present tax of five cents to twenty-five cents the Vermontgrown
tree will disappear from the Christmas market. The purveyors of
Christmas trees will then draw more heavily upon other States
that are not similarly protected from depreciation on their forests,
and the natural result will be the enactment of prohibitory taxes.
These taxes will make the Christmas tree so costly that people will
be fan to abandon the custom or substitute something in the place
of the Christmas tree. Much as we admire and cherish the senti
ment of the Christmas tree we cannot but approve of measures
taken to protect our forests from destruction.

Wilson and Teddy.
itor of the Evening Star

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Is Governor-elect Woodrow Wilson
rehearsing a general "buttinsky'' policy,
a la the late chief "butter-in,' Theo-
doius Rex, or, begging your pardon,
Theodorus ex? If he is he had better
turn about quick before it Is too late
or his fate will be that of the fallen
Teddy. The so-called eleventh COM
mandment" is as important as any of
the regular ten.
OF all the audacious attempts at in
reference, that of the Governor-elect
in the senatorial contest is one of the
most audacious on the part of any gov
ernor-elect. Even before he has taken
his oath of office he has "butted' into
a matter that should concern him
naught.
AS a student of political history, and
as a writer and speaker on the science
of government, DR.. Wilson ought to
know the Constitution of the State at
whose helm he will stand when the new
a begins. 1t is generally agreed
that the Constitution of this common
wealth declares explicitly that the
executive, legislative and judicial
branches should heed the eleventh COM
mandment already referred to; that is,
mind their own business. F. f. 8.

About Civil Service

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Being a voter for thirty
years l will kindly ask you to publish
my opinions about civil service, be-
cause l think it's adoption an injustice
to all young men. To place ineligibles,
long In positions, on the same footing
as those who have or can pass its re-
quirements is entirely wrong and I'M
fair, and brings the matter into dis
credit at once. These ineligibles were
the principal advocates for civil serv-
ice adoption.
To require an applicant to reside five
years in a city before heing consid-
cred Is almost exclusion to any other
but natives only; in fact, all its pro-
visions are unsound. Every lawful
voter who is morally and physically
sound should be eligible as an appli-
cam for any position. This was the
old way, before graft and politics
smothered the best and ~cleanest
methods. We can see today as many
in different positions who are over age,
under weight and under height as be-
fore civil service was thought of. 1t
is unfair and unsound in every way,
and any one interested in this matter
is invited to reply. Respectfully,
w. H.

Plan to Avoid Fire Horrors.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
In all the great calamities caused by
f1re-each one a horrible Illustration of
carelessness-there has peer a rigid in
vestigation as to the cause and re-
sponsibility. We have prosecutors and
grand juries, a lot of unnecessary noise,
and then the probe dies a natural
death. AS soon as the busy world goes
back to its usual routine nearly all
forget about 1t until sit happens
again.
What will be the outcome of this
investigation? One will shift the blame
upon the other until at the finish it
will all be put up" to the laws of the
State, of which there are many, but
few for the benefit of the ordinary class
of people. There is, however, some
consolation in that this terrible disaster
will cause the majority of working
folk to be careful for a while-until the
mex time. Newark is one of the most
progressive cities in the United States.
Still there are many public needs that
no official thinks about until a time
like this. Then suggestions are many;
In fact, too many, most of them being
impracticable. Most of those who offer
these suggestions have never had the
experience of being trapped in the
fourth story of a Undertook factory
and going through the terrible ordeal of
these poor Inflated girls. We hear of
more fire-escapes, stairs, fre-drills, etc,
all of which are of some good, but
not of much service when a panic
ensues.
Then there are ladders which are
not long enough, and a few life-nets,
