"They Do Things In Hudson"
10 the Editor OF the Evening Star:
l would like to call the attention OF
the Board Of F~reeholders of Essex
county to a rule that has beer adopted
by the Hudson county freeholders, COM
pelling tho constables in attendance at
the county courts to wear a blue uni
form, and also to wear their badges on
their coats. which makes 1t very easy
for a visitor to obtain information in
regard to business in the Court House.
It may be hat our freeholders may
not want to follow the example of Hud-
son county, on the policy outlined by
our busy prosecutor, that they do
things in that county we do not care
to o But that idea does not help a
visitor at our Court House, who has to
go wandering around until he finds one
of h attendants, whereas if the latter
wore a uniform 1t would save much
time and annoyance.
It is one thing that the Essex county
freeholders could Follow, which would
be appreciated by many whose BUSH
ness does not call them to tho Court
House very often. CITIZEN.

WAKELEE IN THE TELEPHONE DEAL.

q ENATOR WAkELEES name figuring SO prominently in the
investigation of the Morgan purchase of a controlling in
terest in Western independent telephone companies in the
interest of the great telephone corporation that is seeking to wipe
out all competition in the United States makes embarrassment for
the agile Bergen statesman at an unfortunate time. For this year
there is to be an election for senator in Bergen, and Wakelee will
be a candidate for denomination. There has also been some men.
tion of Wakelee in connection with the Republican nomination for
Governor. Wakelee says it was his law partner who made the
deal, showing the convenience for a political lawyer having a law
partner to shoulder such responsibilities. The testimony in the
investigation in New York yesterday was to the effect that it was
Wakelee who made the deal. 1t is important to know that the
Bergen senator is either chairman or member of the most important
committees of the Senate, on two of which he has to deal to a
large extent with the affairs of corporations. President Freing.
huysen, who made the committee appointments and Craftsmanship
assignments, evidenced a Partially for the Bergen senator that
was not justified by lack of ability in other Republican members
of the Senate.

THE TAIL OF THE APPROACHING COMET.

UST what the constituents of the tail of Haley's comet are
c] scientists do not tell, because they don't know. Camille
FlammariOn says the tail will envelop the earth on Nav 49,
SO that is a date to look forward to. What science does know is
that the tail is gaseous. Otherwise there would be considerable dis
turbance on this mundane sphere. But the puzzle is as to what
the nature is of the gaseous matter that forms the tail. Is it pesti
lential, and will it mix with our atmosphere to affect human life?
Or will it be rarefed and innocuous and not perceptible to man?
Scientists say that the tail contains cyanOgen gas, which is deadly
TO human life, but that it is s attenuated it would not snake a
beetle blink, the density of the tail amounting practically to moth
ing. But, just the same, there will be some anxiety in the world
after the comet gets between the sun and earth, and maybe there
will be a sudden recrudescence of religious revivals, especially
among the Southern blacks.

Australia has made the beginning. of
u navy in the shape Of q torpedo boat
destroyer just launched in England.
1t isn't much, but it is a starter for
the Anglo-Saxon empire in Australasia
that is fated to bear the brunt Of the
yellow peril when 1t spreads from
Asia to or~ientalize white civilization.
Australia has never felt the need of
army o navy because of her isolated
situation as it relates to the policies Of
Europe. Until recent years Australian
statesmanship paid nc attention to
Asia. After the defeat of Russia by
Japan, Australia suddenly awakened
to the fact that she was confronted by
a great peril from Asia. The reception
given to the American battleship fleet
was partly an exhibition of nervous
apprehension of Japan. Some day Aus
tralia herself may marshal a fleet as
formidable.

CANADA FORCING
 AHEAD

Thomas c. Shotwell, one of the greatest market reporters in America, writes from New York, under date of March 20th, and says:
 "The Tariff tangle with Canada which President Taft has taken in hand is of importance chiefly because of the multitude of American farmers that are crossing into the Canadian northwest. Most conservative esti- mates of their number place it at 150,000 for 1910. Some say as many as 250,000 will cross. These are all expert farmers and their places in the United States are being filled by un- trained men from Europe and from the cities Canada is gaining rapidly in agricultural importance and with in a few years the United States will have to call on the Dominion for wheat Production of wheat in the United States is not keeping pace with the population A tariff war would complicate the problem of get ting food. Even now Canadian farm CTS are getting higher prices for their cattle ep the hoof and Canadian house wives are paying less for meat in the butcher shops than fermers and house wives are receiving and paying in the United States. The tariff on cattle and wheat must be removed as be- tween the two countries before long"

PRAISES BIG PHILANTHROPY
President Schurman of Cornell Thinks We'll of Rockefeller Foun-
 dation.

Ithaca-John D. Rockefellers phi feller foundation bill, now pending in congress, proposes to incorporate was commended by President Jacob G. Schurman in an address before the Cor nell congress Friday night In sum ming up an exhaustive discussion of the measure. President Schurman said:
 "I recognize that section No 2 of the bill, which defines the object of the Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and empowers that foundation to do any thing and everything which may pro- mote and advance human civilization. that is to say, morals and religion. art and science, manners and social inter- course, and all that concerns the po- litical, economic. and material well being of individuals and communities This is vast field for the exercise of philanthropy.
 But MT. Rockefeller has conceived vast scheme of philanthropy. for the benefit of his fellow citizens and man. kind. His character, ability and or. ganizing skill are adequate guarantees that he will carry out his, scheme wisely and successfully, with incaL culable benefit and blessing to man tion that he be given a free hand in the exercise of his colossal benefi- cence. So long as he is active or his influence remains it would be wise and safe to give the foundation the sort of organization he desires. Keith CT now nor hereafter does it seem nee essary to limit the scope of his benef cenee, which is coextensive with the efforts of mankind to attain a hig a,r civilization.
 "The only change l would desire to see in the proposed bill is the total or partial elimination of the method oi selecting trustees by cooperation. The organization might well b. left a close corporation. if Mr Rockefeller so de sires, for a generation. But after that time am confident that it would inure both to the efficiency of the foundation and to the public welfare-to say noth ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment of democracy-if the majority of the trustees were appointed by the presi dent of the United States, with the advice and consent of the senate, oI selected by some other high abiding governmental agencies that may fairly be regarded as representing the peo pie of the United States, whose wei fare is the primary object of the i'm mense and glorious benefaction."
