Roosevelt on his way to London will
probably lave some time to catch up
in his correspondence as well as to
soberly reflect upon the extraordinary
experiences he has passed through since
he came out Of the country of the big
a n No man not of the rank of roy
atty was ever accorded such honors,
and no representative of royalty ever
won in different countries of Europe
the popular demonstrations that have
attended the Roosevelt tour. These
were not mere tributes to the man.
They were largely meant for the Ameri-
can republic. of which Roosevelt is a
type. In his entry into England Roose-
Welt drops his individuality and appears
officially as the envoy of the republic.
In his personality will be represented
the American government. When he
joins the funeral procession he will be
to al intents and purposes the Ameri-
a nation.
The ordinary mortal is spared some
of the unpleasant experiences of royalty. |
Here, for example, is the widowed
queen of England. The strain of the
funeral ceremonies is soon over for
people in private life. but the royal
widow must be subjected to all the
elaboration OF q kings funeral. the
long period of preparation and the
pomp and p%ageantry of the inter-
ment. No wonder the queen is re-
ported to be in danger of a nervous
collapse. But she must play her part
in the panorama, for she is a queen.
The axe census figures published
early last week and made up by adding
the increase between 1890 and 1900 to
the totals of the last censu year didn't
take in consideration the fact that no
census figures had as yet been received
in Washington, II that therefore there
no possible data for this year to
not quite completed. Here in Newark
was an entire block left out that has
since been c~anvassed, while the super
visor has been adding anne every day.

1t is estimated that the freight rates
increase contemplated by the railroad
companies will cost shippers not les
than 800, 600, 900 annually. Commercial
organizations in the United States Will
act unitedly in opposition to the i'll
crease. Tomorrow a congress of repre-
s~entatives of these bodies will assem-
BILE in Chicago to take initial action.
In union there is strength. The bust
ness interests of the United States can
be as strong as the united railroads IL
they come together to act as a unit.
Commander Peary is receiving in Eu-
rope all the honors due to the man
who reached the North Pole. Italy
honored him at Rome yesterday and
gave him a gold medal, and he re-
ceived royal congratulations. All the
that is Il to him. 1t would have
come to him sooner if he had had the
Judgment to suppress those dispatches
denouncing Cook, and had let the
scientists and g~eographers settle the
question.
Those benevolent people in Atlantic
City who propose to lease pine lands
and establish camps for tuberculosis
patients evidently do not reckon with
the mosquitoes. Inland South Jersey,
especially the pine belt. is not in
place of residence in the state for
healthy persons. And it Is less so for
invallds.
We may grumble at the kind Of
weather We have been getting week
after week, but the same kim OF
weather, and even worse, is reported in
all parts Of the world. In France the.
weather has been extraordinarily in

tristful visage more than half her time.

The Newark Technical School will
graduate seven scholars at the school

have a graduating class of at least fifty.
