THE New Jersey State Editorial as
sociation met in Trenton Monday and
listened to an address from Arthur
Brisbane, editor of the Hearst news
papers of New York. He talked on
temperance and prohibition, during
which he declared they could never
hope for the latter, but could promote
temperance by encouraging the sale
of light wines andsbeer and discourag-
ing the sale of whiskey. He favored
the parcel post bill and told the edi-
tors not to take office. The editors
adopted a resolution advocating dis
continuance of free advertising, reso-
luton that will be more honored in
the breach than the observance il
failure of past resolutions on the sub
ject may be considered. The PROPOSE
tion to compel railroad companies tc
advertise their time tables will please
other people beside newspaper men
for everybody about to travel is now
put to great inconvenience to ascer
tain tile movement of trains.

FORMER GOVERNOR JOHN W.
GRIees, at the recent hearing on the
McCran bill to prohibit the division Of
sub-surface waters from this state
when representing the filchers of New
Jersey waters, was reminded of the
states policy, which caused him tc
calculate -" State policy. What is
the states policy on any subject? Ii
you are going to consider the frothy
views of frothy newspapers as the
states policy, all right. To one who
understands, however, it is clearly evil
dent there is no state policy on this
subject" And then to the confusion
of the former governor that " frotby
newspaper" the "Newark News, "
proceeds to quote the opinion OF the
court of errors and appeals, which was
sustained by the United States su-
preme court, as follows =" The legis-
lative policy of this state has been'
and is, to preserve and administer our
water rights for the benefit of our own
people to whom by right of proximity
and sovereignty they naturally be-
long, The News" also quotes an
other opinion, by Chancellor Pitney,
and sustained by the court of errors
and appeals, virtually reaffiming the
former, remarking that these two de-
cisions seem to cover the states policy
on the conversation of all potable
waters, which policy the McCran bill
proposes to further accentuate. 1t
looks very much as if this "frothy
view," as Mr.. Griggs would call it, is
correct, to the extent that the state
has policy on the conservation OF its
potable waters. How the able counsel
came to forget these decisions, for he
must have known of them, is singular,
for it is not believed he would attempt
to deceive the legislative committee in
the matter. At all events, he will
probably now admit the state has a
water policy. and that the people want
it maintained.

AT last the idea of giving the big
corporations or trusts definite legal
status under the federal government
has come squarely before the American
people in the shape of the Taft federal
incorporation bill, which was intro
duced in congress Monday. Around
that measure the battle is sure to rage
for long time to come. Amendments
will be offered by both radicals and con-
servatives, for in its present form II
suits neither faction and no party. Ii
represents the personal opinion OF the
president and his advisers, and the
president is disposed to let the matter
rest there without undertaking te
make it party measure.

IS COLBY our OF Politics ;

AS a lawyer ex-senator Colby has
perfect right, according to the prevail
ing standard Of legal ethics, to accept
fee from the Hudson County Water
company, which is seeking to divert
water from this state to Staten Island,
but as politician he cannot but know
that he is making mistake.
The fact that Colby has taken sides
with the so-called water snake would
seem to indicate that he has voluntar-
lily retired from politics.
Is this another instance of good
man gone wrong, or is it fact that
most of US are too blind to see the
really benevolent purpose behind the
philanthropic water proposition
That little amendment Colby sub
mitted, giving the water company a
twenty years monopoly, assures US
that we are not blind. -" Jersey City

HERES a funny proposition. The

association is preparing an amend
ment to one of the local option bills
before the legislature which provides
for the compensation of any saloon
keeper driven out Of business in the
event that the community in which he
is located goes dry" through local
option. This is as absurd as would be
proposition to compensate the devil

FROM canvass made among mem
bers of the Senate and the House,
which covered about fifty per cent. OF
them, including both Republicans and
Democrats, on the question of how
they will vote on the proposed amend
ment to the United States Constitu-
tioa permitting an income tax, there
appears strong likelihood of the Con-
gressional proposition being rejected
by the State OF New Jersey. Not
withstanding Governor Forts mes
sage strongly urging approval Of the
income tax amendment for which
President Taft expressed his gratitica-
tion accompanied by the statement
that he hoped New Jersey would ap-
prove of it, it was plainly to be seen
that large number Of the legislators
of this State have been deeply and
favorably impressed by the argument
made by Governor Hughes against the
proposition. Many of the New Jersey
lawmakers interviewed on the ques-
tion stated that Mr.. Hughes's message
sent to the New York Legislature
had resulted in raising doubt in
their minds as to the wisdom of APP
proval of the amendment, notwith-
standing the attitude assumed by
Governor Fort. However, most of
those who talked about the subject
refused to state for publication just
what their stand would be the amend
ment is called up for consideration.

Problem,
The Mems club, of the First Presby-
terian church, and the Mems associa-
tion, of the South Street Presbyterian
church, will make their February
meetings a joint meeting, holding it
in the South Street Presbyterian
church, Wednesday evening.
On this occasion DIR. Edward A.
Steiner, professor of applied Chris
tianity, Grinnell college, Grinnell,
Iowa, known by his book "On the
Trail of the Immigrant, will be the
speaker, taking as his subject 1.-THE
New Immigrant and the New Prob
lem."
"A few years ago, DR.. Steiner, with
a number of college students, went
abroad to help them study the native
conditions of the various peoples who
flock to our country. The informa-
tion gained in this way has proved of
great value in work among the immi-
grants, especially in Pennsylvania from
whence the commission went out.
DR.. Steiner is at present in New
York state, where previous to his
coming here, he will deliver series of
addresses, among which will be "a
Search for Brotherhood before a con-
vention of the Young Mems Christian
associations of the state of New York.
Added to DIR. Steiner's attractive
personality and keen sense of wit there
is that thorough knowledge of his
theme which causes him tobe in great
demand as public speaker. 1t would
be difficult to find anywhere a man as
well qualified to speak on the immi-
grant problem, and especially difficult
to find one who would present it in as
fascinating manner.
The public is invited generally, both
ladies and gentleman, to hear DR..
Steiner.

by the Virginia Lest.llsture.slf the err
t%irnents expressed to-day by some Of
the soions Of the odd Dominion are
shared BY the majority. Two dead
Iznd a half dozen seriously injured in
the game was virginia's record last
season. and the Legislators. believe that
they Should ether abolish the sport
or place rigid restrictions around its
playing which wilItreIieve II Of Its APP
parently dangerous features.
Talk OF abolishing the game Is loud
est In Richmond. This city had not
recovered from It's griet. and sorrow
over the death Of Archer Christian
upon the Georgetown field when the
news was flashed over the city that
another Virginia lad, Walter SURREY.
hsu died from injuries received on the
Drldiron. Then on all sizes the pro
test against the game grew In vol
un1n, until It now threatens to bury it.
The protest against The sport Is not
confined to the uninfIuentiaI. This la
shown by the interview of Speaker
Richard Evelyn Byrd, OF the Virginia
house Of delegates, one of the most
influential figures in ,virainia's legis-
lative halls. and father OF "Young
Dixie" Byrd, quarterback on the Navy
team. Mr.. Byrd said some law should
be passed to place restrictions around
the game, but just how far this should
go he could not determine.
Mr. Byrd Is not alone among the
Virginia Legislators who thinks the
game should be modified. Col. John
S. Harwood, Of Richmond, another
EoIon, had a son hurt on the Richmond
College team, and he has a horror of
the game. Delegate Throekmorton. of
Henrico, has a son who formerly play.
ed football and gave his family untold
anxiety. It is these Legislators who
are alarmed over the game as It is
played now and who will doubtless
lend their influence TO have the dam
sercus features Of the sport abolish
ed.
This cry against football recalls the
effort some years ago t~o+aboIish the
game. Then an active fight was waged
against 1T IN the Virginia legislature,
hut It was defeated by Delegate Early,
Of Greene county, who Was center or
the Virginia team "hen he was at
the university. ~
