efa HERE has never been a time in New Jersey history from u
inception of its government when the Constitution was sus
pended for any reason. The Constftution has often oeen
violated, Willingly or unwittingy, but the acts thus committed
were not popular acts; they were not committed in open and defiant
violation and they were rebuked and repudiated. The Legislature
has passed unconstitutional acts, but they were not laws in their
operation. for the State courts exercised their authority ana set
them aside. But these sins against the Constitution were com
1nitted in Ignorance or by inadvertence, and the integrity OF the
Constitution was maintained by the courts. The supreme power
in this land is the Federal Constitution, to which all State Con
stitutions are subordinate, for the powers in the Federal Const1tu
ton we're delegated by the States. The statute of a State may pass
the ordeal of the State courts and be set aside by the United States
Supreme Court. Any State statute, therefore, that conflicts with
the Federal or State Constitution is of no effect whatever. Constr
buttons were made for the people to secure them in their rights and
fore, should ieaIously guard the Constitution and see that any
changes that are made in it or in anything that comes under It's
provisions, shall not be made without their recorded consent, given
in a way to render their acquiescence undoubted. There is now be
fore Congress a resolution for the submission to the people OF the
United States of an amendment to the Federal Constitution pro
viding for the election of United States senator's by popular vote.
The resolution will be passed and the question will soon thereafter
be voted on by the States. 1t will inevitably be adopted. But if
In a State the Federal Constitution could be annulled by a permits
sive legislative act, simply permitting candidates to place their
names on primary election ballots, what would be the sense of set
amend the Constitution? If, also, a governor of a State can be
given by his election the right to name the United States senator,
why 90 TO all this trouble? And if the organic law can be set aside
10 readily in such a case it can be just as well disregarded in other
cases, am. special occasions will always arise for it's violation.

The sunragette., Grievances.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The account of the militant doings of
suffragettes in England which has ap-
peared in your columns gives no expla-
nation of the women's grievance.
For the last forty years a majority
of every House of Commons have been
professed believers in woman suffrage.
Suffrage bills have passed their second
reading over and over, in the early
times by small majorities, of late years
by very large ones. But never once
In these forty years has the bill been
allowed to come up for third reading
and final vote. The cabinet controls
the time Of the House, n h cabinet
ministers have always declared that the
time could not be spared. Impatience
with this policy Of obstruction led to
the militant movement.
The suffragettes intermitted their
militant tactics for ten months to see
Whether their bill would be allowed to
reach a decisive vote in the Parliament

ing by a majority of ITO. When Mr.
Asouith the other day declared that
he would not grant time for 1t to come
up for the third reading, militancy was

WORKING HOURS o FEDERAL EMPLOYEES.

1TTa HE great political upheaval last month is having its effect
upon the government civil service at Washington. Cabinet
officers, Sin their discretion" are authorized by the Presi-
dent too add half an hour to the working day of the employees
in their departments. Formerly these favored employees reached
the department at 9 O'Clock in the morning and quit at A, with
half an hour for luncheon. President Roosevelt increased the
working day by half an hour. Besides these exceptional working
hours, the employees have a vacation of thirty days and also thirty
days sick leave each year, with half Saturdays during the three
summer months. AS the work is light, lGsurely and genteel, a
government job of any kind at Washington amounts to a sinecnre
Now, 1t is easy to cipher up how much the government loses
financially and in actual service by this indulgent arrangement.
There are not less than thirty thousand subordinates in the de-
partmenfs at Washington. An hours difference in the working
day means 10000 hours in a week, or 5000 days, and the work
and the services of 1900 employees, receiving on an average of $50
q week, $4,000 in weekly salary. II the departmental clerks at
washington put in eight hours a day, which is less time than the
average clerk in private business is employed, the government
could dispense with the services of about 1000 employees, who
receive on an average of $40 a week, about $4,000 weekly in
salaries or more than ~ 100000 a year.

The -senatorship.

To the Dditor Of the Evening Star:
In all this talk on the United States
senatorship, soo to be filled, there is
one thing that most of those doing the
talking seem to have forgotten. When
the State primaries were held last Sep
TENDER only about 80 per cent. Of the
Democrats expressed a preference as
between MARITIME and McDermit. Now,
all the talk has been that all the re-
naming 20 per cent. expressed no pref
erence. 1t seems to ms that this inter-
probation Of the primary vote Is entirely
wrong. The silent 70 per cent. did ex-
press a preference, and that preference
was that the State Legislature should
elect the next United States senator, as
the trainers of the Constitution Of the
United States had in mind when that
document was drawn up. The very
fact that 70 per cent. of the Democrats
of the State did not vote for either
MARITIME or McDermit seems to me to
indicate not that the voters had no
preference, but that they as Democrats
chose to administer a weli-merited re-
buke to those who would set aside the
American Constitution.

e OF THE VOTERS"

cTa HE theory that fear of the voters forbade the candidacy of
any one man for the senatorial nomination in the Demo
cratic primaries obviously applies to all who failed to have
their names printed on the ballot. That theory is a singular refec
lion upon the leading Democrats in this State. 1t is insulting to
a party whose members include men of the brightest minds and
best characters in New Jersey. To that class of Democrats it ap
peared an absurdity to present their candidates. in such a shape and
to undergo the test of a vote that would have no meaning, no force
and no validity. The legislative act under which this socalled
referendum was held had been ridiculed in every newspaper of the
State when it was passed, and in the Democratic primary election
campaign this year the law was almost unnotced. Selfrespectng
Democrats who are not mere Office seekers looked upon the law as
the merest farce and upon its operation as giving no warrant what
ever as to what the Legislature should do. II the great body Of
Democratic voters had looked upon the law with any seriousness
they would have named candidates, and at least half a dozen Demo
Gratis would have had their names inscribed on the primary ballots.

CbesterfeIdian Conductors.

To the Dditor OF the Evening Star;
and reform In every
thing is what the public today is pull
ing for. Trolley service, especially the
bearing of the crew In charge OF a car
Is undergoing a change, according TO
statements made of recent meetings oil
officers and employees Of the Public
Service.
The officer of the corporation tries to
Undue the conductor with a feeling thai
his manner toward passengers should
reflect the corporations feeling for the
public. That's a big movement, and In
the right direction.
Conductors will be some time in ac-
complishing this reform. The old
"strong arm" method of dealing with
passengers is still in existence, but it's
at that stage where It's going, going,
the missing word will soon be APP
plicable.
And the public themselves are now
and will for a short time hence be IN
strumental in holding the nducto TO
the strong arm method.
The other day a passenger got into a
car without dropping his fare l n the
box. The conductor went after him,
called the passengers attention to the
fact that he had forgotten something.
Evidently seeing that he was the OBJ
ject of much attention, in car full or
people, the absent-minded one started
to 'take it out of the conductor" when
the latter refused to disobey the rules
OF the company by taking the nickel
from the passenger. Like a human be-
ing, the conductor went back at the
man." promising the forgetful person
that something would happen II he did
not get off at the next corner. The
passenger got off.
Incidents of that kind will not helI
the reform on foot. Passengers, be rea-
sonable. A line to the officers of the
company will win the faulty conductor

on the nose. His wife and children viii

against the officials Of the Essex

Indifferent. Yesterday 1 telephoned to
the boathouse, and also to the police
station, at Branch Brook Park, to in
quire as to whether there was skating
on the lake. In both cases they told
me they did not know. This was
about noon. A little while later I
called up the Essex County Park
Commission on the phone and was in
formed that the officials had not de-
cided whether to allow skating or not.
1 then called up weequahic Park, and
vas told that there would be no skat-
ing yesterday, but that the ice would
be all right today. I found out from
friends later that there had been skat-
ing on the Branch Brook lake all yes

A Problem tor tn. Presiaent.

To the Dditor OF the Evening Star:
The President, in his message to
Congress, took occasion to speak Of the
prosperous condition Of the country.
He mentioned several things to prove
that financially we are better off than
we were last year. ALI this may he
true. But-can the nation be considered
prosperous while there are bread lines?
Can it be said that we are prosperous
so long as there are persons dying from
lack of clothing and food? In this
weather there are thousands whose
lives could be saved II their homes were
supplied with coal, their bodies with
clothing and their stomachs with food.
The President, before his election, adj
mitted that only God knows what can
be done with the man out of a job
who Is looking for one but cannot get
1t. Has the President found out yet
how to take care of such men7 Surely
in this great country there ought to be
enough Jobs to go around-there ought
to be more jobs than men. 1t might be
worth while for Mr.. Taft to make an
effort to find out how every man that
wants to work can get a job.

NEWARK'S HOL IDAY TRADE.

1To HE Christmas trade in our city has been SO large during the
last two weeks that there is reason to look for less strenuous
shopping during the last week prior to Christmas. The de
mands of shoppers have made large drafts upon Christmas stocks
az well as other goods, and have taxed the resources of the large
storekeepers for the delivery of purchases. During the coming
week most of the stores will be open at night to accommodate the
many who are unable to do their shopping in the daytime. This
will be a temporary additional strain upon clerks and salesgirls,
but it will distribute the trade over a longer period of time and
relieve the crush in the daytime. The Indications are that the
holiday trade this year will foot up much larger figures than the
trade of any previous year. 1t may be said that at no former time
were the stores as attractive or presented as great a variety of Holt
dav goods

to Detroit shortly afterward and
since then has kept up a continual
search through the medium of
