Governor Forts Montclair Address.
the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t seems almost incredible that a man
of Governor Forts standing should 30
often be found guilty of playing tho
role of the ridiculous; but 1t is a fact
that he has frequently tried the pa
thence of those who exercised their suf-
frage in his behalf, because they be.
lieved him to possess the qualities of q
man who would grace the office in a
manner BETTING Justice and dignity;
but when he gives u%tterance to such
remarks as are accredited to him a.
the State Normal School at Montclair
Heights last Wednesday one is led to
doubt his sincerity of purpose.
II the Governor would listen to the
appeal of the commuters and others
who are dependent upon the railroads
for frequent transportation and prompt
ly act in behalf of Justice and reason
which Is his bounden duty, he would
do a great deal more to win the respect
and confidence of the people than he
ever can by giving utterance to sucn
idle remarks as the expression of his
belief that "the time may come when
you will be addressed by a woman Gov
enor," which remarks only serve to
tickle the ears of q few fickle-minded
so-called suffragettes who agitate
their cause at the expense of their

THE CLEVELAND MONUMENT FUND.

TIA OR the Grover Cleveland memorial fund for the erection OF a
ia monument at Princeton the sum of $50, 900 is already assured.
The fund, when completed, will be 100000. The patriotic
and energetic men who have accomplished so much will not abate
their efforts until the monument is erected in memory OF one OF
the noblest characters in American history. Monument building
has always been tediousy slow in this country. The great wash
ington shaft at Washington is the result Of the laborious work OF
years. 1t will be recalled that the statue to Seth Boyden in wash
inpton Park was erected only after the fund to pay for 1T had dragged
along for years. The Cleveland fund was projected as a popular
one. 1t was desired that the fund should be an accumulation OF
small subscriptions rather than that it's bulk should represent large
ones from a comparative few. That purpose has been kept In view
by its custodans. The time for the completion of the fund has
thereby been prolonged, but the monument, when erected, Will De
one to be truly a tribute of the American people.

though the negro girls in question have
a legal right to bring their "dusky"
partners to the dance In question, they
have no moral right.
If the o exclusive girl in the class
has picked a certain man to accompany
her and she finds that the presence Of
this man at the dance will be objection
able to all others present, she has no
moral right to mai the pleasure of the
others by bringing him.
Aside from the question Of white and
black, If the negro girls find that the
partners they intend to bring are
not wanted by the rest and that If they
persist in their determination to bring
them they will probably cause the
dance to be called off, they are guilty of
violation of a social law.
Again 1 say hat though they have a
legal right, they have no moral right.

THE GROWING TRIBUTE TO ROOSEVELT.

oTr HE spectacular demonstration in New York today IN honor
of the return of Theodore Roosevelt from his African ana
European trip is a tribute the like of which no American y
foreign notable ever received in this country. After such q reception
nobody will doubt the great popularity of the man VINO yester-
dav the evnosure of all ewes. But Roosevelt now begins a part OF
his career that is full of pitfalls. He returns to identlfy nmseH
prominently in politics. When Grover Cleveland retired from the
presidency for the second time he went into dignifed retirement
and there he remained, speaking only occasionally, when utterance
was demanded of him, and honored by the whole nation. hooseyeH,
a younger man in years and of a different temperament, cannot
emulate the illustrious example of Cleveland. He is not b sage
but the man of action and largely of impulse. He has attained the
summit of glory. He can go no higher. VIII he be able &c sustain
the exalted position TO which he has been elevated! Ihere are
suggestive parallels in history.

THE STATE AS RAILROAD OWNER.

q TATE ownership of railroads in New Jersey is as practcaole
- as a Journey to the moon, but there are ingenious and badly
informed people who cherish that notion. 1t is possible that
as a sequence of pre~sentday railroad consolidation there Will some
day be national ownership. The Federal government can DO what
France and Germany have done, nationa1ize the railroads ana make
them Federal property by purchase. A single State has n such
resources. Nor would it be practicable for this State to build and
operate a railroad to the Hudson. The whole water oh !.
Hudson is occupied. and a terminal could not be secured, al the
State cannot condemn and take the terminal property OF railroads
and steamship corporations. Missionaries who prattle about state
railroads have little comprehension Of the railroad situation n the
powers of the State.

CHECKS ON

@ PEAKER CANNON will not be deposed at this session. He
- has been spared to preside over the House when the second
session opens. His autocratic power has been crippled to
a large extent. The rules committee will no longer be under his
thumb and the right of a committee to hold back a bill will be sub
j@t, at least, to the majority will of the House. Whether power to
appoint the committees shall be taken from the speaker and given
to a committee on committees is for future consideration. All the
present committees except the rules committee are Cannon COM
mittees. There may be a new deal at the second session. 1t will
depend a great deal on the elections.

Many things come and go in this
country, like the weather, in waves.
We have hot waves and cold waves.

we have religious waves that pass over
the country, and many people for the
time being are sorely afflicted, but it

Then again we have political wav

Our latest wave, which is due In New

be called a political wave of insanity,
or rather a wav of Roosevelt insan-

Now, insanity Is a dangerous thing at
any time or place, and l am sorry to
see so many of our friends demented.

the State Riparian Commission has turned $347, 900 over to

riparian lands, principally for large manufacturing sites. This is
The largest income for the same period of time in years. The re-

A PROFESSIONAL VIEW OF TAFT.

IN, MOTHER college professor comes out in criticism OF a Presf-
A\ dent of the United States. Chancellor Days diatribes on
Roosevelt are fresh in the public mind. Professor J. Law
renee Loughlin, of the University of Chicago, is as rough on Taft.
"Weak in moral courage and listens to the voices of the interests"
is the professors characterization of the man now in the White
House. HE is a tolerant. weak, wellintentioned failure" adds the
professor. But what widely different points Of view the college
professors take of public men and public policies.

the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The STARS free ice and outing fund,
besides affording relief to the poor, af-
fords to the pessimistic individual an
opportunity to get acquainted with
human nature. There are those who
make 1t their business always to talk
of their brothers as being selfish, mar
row and grasping; In their opinion
most people live only for themselves.
What a direct contradiction to that
belief is the splendid response to the
STARS appeal. It is not instructive
with the average man to ignore the
suffering of the poorer members Of
society. There Is within all of us the
desire to be helpful to those in need,
and the noble work undertaken by the
STAR will not only help ave the lives
Of many children, but will also awaken
the spirit of humanitarianism which
lies sleeping in the hearts of men.

The great diamond battle between
Yale and Princeton yesterday served to
again call attention to the fact that
the general public views college base
ball with but languid interest. 1t is on
the gridiron that college warriors shine
and attract nationwide attention. Pro-
fessional football pales to inaigni1canee
beside the varsity game. These condi-
tons are natural, and as they should
be. Football is essentially a college
game and c~ollegians are it's bright par
ticular stars. College baseball. on the
other hand. is a very poor substitute
for the professional article.
A New Yorker found yesterday in
the street a woman's slipper with a
diamond set in the buckle. He adver-
tfsed the find and many applicants in
turn claimed 1t. None of them were
able to furnish convincing proof of
ownership. Taking his cue from Gin
derella," the man had asked merely of
women who sought he slipper that
they put 1t on. They failed, all of

ment of bogus claimants when they
were unable to force a foot int the
slipper must have been very amusing

ernor GilIett. But time Is precious just
now, and enough Of it might be wasted
in legal Jousting to seriously handicap
the success of the match. Reno asks
for the battle, guaranteeing immunity,
and Goldf1eld guarantees $1,000 O. But
whatever the issue, It will not make
for the popularity of the Governor of
California.
The statement of Federal investiga-
tors that the principals in the United
Wireless Telegraph Company have COL
lected $50. 00o.o 900 from investors is doubt
less exaggerated. but 1t serves to sug-
gest at least the rich harvest of dollars
which was reaped. wireless" was a
word to c~onjure with. and every rescue

business of the company now under
Federal fire.
Evidently Mr.. Patten, the cotton
king" did not retire soon or COM
pletely enough. if his indictment for
an attempt to corner the Southern
staple spells anything. His weil-earned
vacation. which he announced was to
end only with his life, received some-
thing of a jolt in its very beginning
when he narrowly escaped mob violence
on the Manchester Exchange. This
second setback is ruder and even more
significant.
The premier amateur event of the
athletic calendar is imminent. Trained
to the minute, the crews of the Compel
ing schools are putting on their finish
ing touches under the watchful eyes of
coaches. In another week baseball
standings will be forgotten for the day,
while the interest Of the country
focuses itself on a stretch of the Hud-
son near Poughkeepsie.
