TT F. as asserted, a pact has been made between the East Jersey
Water Company and the Public Service Corporation to pass
the Lee bill and emasculate the McCran anti-waterdiyersion
bill, evidence will appear in the votes in the two houses on these
bills. The House has passed the McCran bill by a vote that logically
forbids the House to lend any favor to any amendment favoring
the water company, but the inconsistent and inexpicable action of
the House majority in emphatically defeating the Lee bill and then,
after a suspicious interval. passing il. indicates what may be done
both with the amended Lee bill and the amended McCran bill, if
sent over by the Senate and backed by the combination of interests.

The People, Rostru,n


in the matter at the present time, it
would be interesting if the STAR could
find out what kind of eloquence was
brought to bear at the eleventh hour to
make the Lee bill so attractive to some
of our representatives, who, a few days
ago. could not see much good in it.
AS before intimated, the people of
Newark are denied the privilege of hav-
ing a hand in the matter at the present
time, but they may have something to
say next election, and hence 1 make the
suggestion about pasting the vote on
this bill in the band of the hat. where
it can be readily referred to when the
proper time arrives. INTERESTED.

GOVERNOR FORT THE SOLE RELIANCE.

INCORPORATE interests at Trenton have assumed open con-
" troll of the Legislature, Arrogantly they are asserting
their power. So pronounced is their efrontery and so
complete their power that the people stand amazed as they con-
template the scandal and disgrace which are daily becoming
manifest. They have no reliance in their representatives. Such
representatives stand convicted, in the public mind, OF unhonored
records and violated oaths. The sole hope OF the people Is now
in the Governor lie has withstood corporate encroachment
heretofore. The STAR believes that he will not tarnish his adj
ministration by bowling to corporate mandate. lie IS confronted
by a condition which, if feaTlessly met, will add honor to his adj
ministration and win the gratitude OF the people. There Is no
middle course for the Governor. There should be no thought OF
compromise. Treating with the boastful and vicious agencies OF
corporate interests would mean contamination. The STAR is
hopeful that the Governor will not abandon the people.

SA HE ambitions of certain Republican leaders to attain the
United States senatorship should give them a personal in
terest in the dongs of the Legislature, for the record to be
made by the Legislature will have an important bearing on the
election in November of a Legislature to elect Il United States
senator next year. These candidates may or may not have sym
pathy with objects before the Legislature that, if accomplished,
will incense public sentiment, but they are extraordinarily com
PLEASANT if they are willing to see their chances imperiled for the
sake of benefit to certain corporate interests. A Governor is TO be
elected in November. Governor Fort was elected by a small pu-
rality in a year when party prospects were much brighter than they
are now. Are the Republican State leaders so blind that they
cannot appreciate the effect of unpopular legislation, or so indif
ferent that they do not care? "Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" Has madness seized upon the Republican
leaders at Trenton?

OTIS HE railroad bill introduced in the House Of Representatives
is still called the administration bill, although all of the
original bill but the enacting clause was stricken out and
p substitute bill was appended. The bill contains the original
feature of a commerce court and features that Mr.. Taft adopted at
the suggestion of the railroad presidents. A battle royal on this
bill may be expected, beginning next week. The debate will not
be O strict party lines. Administration bills, so called, do not
have the party support under the Taft administration that admin
istration bills formerly had. There are two wings TO the party in

RETRENCHMENT

The capacity of a railroad, Us James
j. Hill points out, is measured by its
terminals. The policy of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, as formulated by A. j.
Cassatt, was that of large expenditure
for terminals in cities. That policy is
splendidly illustrated at the Hudson.
This great improvement completed, the
Pennsylvania railroad turns to cities
where there is terminal congestion, and
Newark will soon receive attention. 1t
is fair to say that in furtherance of i'm
proved station facilities at Market
street the city will afford all reasonable
assistance to the company, for an en-
larged station is for public and COM
pany benefit alike.

The seriousness of a grand jury in
dictment for the indicted person is
measured by the disposition of the
prosecuting officer to prosecute. A
prosecutor who is not politically or
otherwise in sympathy with an indict-
ment, or is in close sympathy with the
indicted person. can make a bluff of
prosecuting while leaving open all doors
for the indicted to get off, or he can
pigeon-hole the Indictment.

The Liquor Dealers Circus.


Down at that Jacksonville convention
last week of the Local optioniStS, a." as
they call themselves with fine uncon-
sciouS humor, the voice was the voice
of Jacob, but the hand was the hand of
ESau. We were deeply impressed with
the beautiful array of pictures of the
gentlemen so nobly and unSclfiShly con
secrated TO the great work of saving
personal liberty" and the sacred right
of local Self-government,' TO the dear
people of Florida, as printed in the
Times Union and other temperance or
gans, and we admit that those gentle
men are prominent and reputable citi-
zenS not engaged in the liquor traffic.
But behind each face in that lovely art
gallery il was not difficult in imagination
TO see the grim mug of the liquor dealer
himself, the chief party in interest, TO
perpetuate whose traffic in Florida that
Jacksonville convention was called, no
matter how cunningly that purpose was
sought TO be yelled under the Specious
phrases of local Self-government and
personal liberty. Mr.. Liquor Dealer
was entirely too smart 10 put in an actual
appearance in the convention or lift his
voice in its proceedings, for that would
have been "a dead giveaway," and at
once made the issue sharp and clear OF
the liquor traffic, bald, naked and de-
fiant, against all the better elements OF
