The People 5 Rostrum

lieve he is signally deficient in this es-
sential of statesmanship, as his
speeches. both in Cairo and in the
Guildhall, in London. aptly prove.
Some years ago the earl Of Rosebery
was prime minister of England. About
that time we had some trouble in the
Philippians. Suppose Lord Rosebery
had visited the United States and that
the city of New York had decided to
honor him at q municipal banquet?
Suppose that at that banquet he SHOULD
make a speech telling Americans to
either rule the Philippines properly or
quit, what would the result be? Simply
that every newspaper in the country
would have denounced the utterance as
a piece of gratuitous impertinence n
a gross breach of American hospitality.
The cases are exactly parallel, with
this remarkable difference. that Mr..
Roosevelt made in London a speech
which neither Lord Rosebery nor any
other English statesman of our day
would have dared to make in New
York.
Teddy has blundered badly, for to tell
ones host. while enjoying that hosts
warmest hospitality, how to run his
business, Is i~nexcusable im~pertinence.

COURAGE OF HIS CONVICTIONS.

When Oscar Straus, minister to Tur-
key from this country. held the same
position in Grover Cleveland's admin
istration, he had occasion to show how
he felt to the Hebrews. to which race
he belongs. He and Mrs. Straus were
taking a trip to the Holy Land when
the governor of Jaffa, a "Jewbaiter,"
met them and asked them to ride in his
carriage and receive an official well
come.
Governor" said Mr.. Straus. Vt
would like to ride in your carriage and
be received in YOU palace, but I
understand you have in your prisons
four hundred Armenian Jews. Un'ess
they are released / must decline our
hospitality"
The four hundred prisoners were
given their liberty, and Straus was
welcomed officially by the governor.

to that effect.
He sat down and wired a member Of

"I expect to be in the business Of
writing books for some time. If, on
mature elaboration, you do not want
the book. please return the manu-

THE NEW MARRIAGE LICENSE LAW.

NAN July 1 there will go into effect the legislative act requiring
w clergymen and public officers who solemnize marriages to
make reports of such marriages within five days to the mu-
nicipal official who issues marriage licenses. There is a penalty of
d fine of $50 for failure to comply with the law in this respect.
Licenses will be necessary for the performance of marriages., and the
clergyman II official who shall marry a couple without the presenta'
ton of a license will be liable to a fine of $500 or Imprisonment for
six months. Neglect by many cergymen to report marriages has
been notorious for many years, their neglect being contempt and
violation of the law. 1t remains to be seen how many of them will
have to be hailed up and fined under the new law.

/" AYONNE citizens will now be given the opportunity to decide
Id by referendum whether they want to retain the voting ma
chine device which has been kicked out of more than $50
election districts of New Jersey. They will hold a special election
on June 81. A petition, largely signed, was presented to Bayonne
Council about two years ago asking for an election, but influences
radiating from the office of Secretary of State Dickinson prevailed
in the Council and the petition was disregarded. Then the courts
were appealed to and the Council was discounted. But not until
now has that body obeyed the mandate of the law. Now that the
voters of Bayonne are given the chance to get rid of the voting
machine device it will go out in short order.

the United States as it stands without
this suggested change in the method
of electing senator's" said United
States Senate Kan when he voted
against the election Of United states
senators by popular vote. What a con-
venient thing is the Constitution to
such men as Kean! The will of the
people Is not to be taken into consider
ation-the Constitution must be al
hered to.
At least, Mr.. Kean is consistent. he
knows that men of his stamp would
not stand a ghost of a show in a popu-
lar election. However. the Constitu-
ton will be changed in spite of Kean's
loyalty to 1t. The people demand a
change in the election Of senators, and

ator has pledged his support to the
cause of the people, what besides a
selfish motive prompts him to proclaim
against this suggested changer

INSURGENCY IN ELIZABETH TONIGHT.

NM UGH interest will be given to the mass-meeting in Eliza
NV\ beth tonight, at which a Republican State league for the
popular election of United States senator's will be or
ranized. Senator John Kean made the statement on Wednesday
that he was opposed to an amendment giving to States the right to
decide whether they shall elect United States senators by popular
vote, and, as Kean lives in Elizabeth when at home, the object of to-
nights meeting obtains additional interest from that fact. Repub-
lcan insurgency, as it is understood at Washington and in the
Middle West, will be developed in New Jersey tonight. The regular
Republican leaders in the State, like Senator Kean, are not in SYM
patty with election of senators by the people, and will be altogether
out of sympathy with tOnights meeting.

RESISTANCE TO THE RAILROAD FARE INCREASE.

IN STORM is brewing in the many New Jersey communities
f7A that are so unfavorably affected by the concerted acton ol
the railroad companies in raising their fares and commute
ton rates on the suburban lines. AS the dazed people realze What
tis increase means for them they grow indignant and resentful
and thew ask each other if there is any legal or governmental
remedy for them to seek. East Orange is the first municipality 10
take action. The city counsel is requested to find out what steps
can be taken and a massmeeting has been called. Newark travel
to and from New York is larger than that of any other municipality
in Essex county. Not only the commuter, but the man Oh woman
who poe to New York on an excursion ticket must pay a largely
increased fare. Newark should, therefore, act, and at once. Ihe
Common Council tonight can pass a resolution instruct1ng the CITY
counsel to prepare an opinion as to what action n city a take
IT would be advisable for the Council to request the Mayor TO call
q meeting of official representatives of all the municipalities In MS
county. to be held at the earliest date practicable, to consider ways
and means of opposing the railroad fare increase. Such a step
would prompt the municipalities in Morris, Union, Hudson, Bergen
and Passaic to hold general meetings for the same purpose. There
is power in a public sentiment when it is properly brought to bear.
The State has no ascertained power of resistance. The State utll
ties Commission has no authority to act. But the united action
of all the municipalities affected may have the desired effect upon
the railroad directories.

STATE ACQUISITION OF WATERSHED

IT F. the acquisition by the State of the Mulhca watershed in South
Jersey depends upon the wishes of the people of North Jersey
there will be no obstacle to the purchase Of the tract. In
North Jersey the paramount Importance of State ownership and
control of the watersheds is we'll understood. South Jersey has not
been educated to a knowledge of that Importance. Most OF the
South Jersey municipalities are now supplied with water by private
companies, and there isa lack of the civic spirit and enterprise found
in North Jersey communities. But South Jersey can be made to
understand and appreciate the great and inestmable future value OF
a public watershed. North Jersey is also looking to the future,
and there are definite watershed plans that can be carried out coin
cidently with that of the reservation of the great Wharton tract IN
South Jersey. TO carry out a water conservation policy for both
sections it will be necessary to issue State bonds, which can be
done only by a vote of the people. Opposition to such a step would
be overcome in North Jersey. The doubt has been in South Jersey.
But if that section shares equally in the benefit Of the issue this
opposition must give way.

AS MUCH AS THEY CAN BEAR.

c1 He American people have about all they can bear without
being subjected to the increases in freight rates by the rail
roads. the burden of which must inevitably be filtered down
to the consumer. High prices of necessaries and tariff pampered
trust extortions have so greatly reduced incomes that there is uni
versal discomfort. Add to these the proposed increase in freight
charges, as well as in passenger fares, and it will seem as if the very
lfe-blood Of the people is drawn upon.
