, canal Cam BE Condemned.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Last Wednesday, May IS, you pub
lished a letter In the EVENING STAR
entitled why Is the Canal and signed
Sufferer"
The writer referred to the canal as
an sopen sewer and wants to know
who is responsible"
In reply l wish to state that the at
torney-general has full power under the
present laws, also in section 20 OF the
canal charter. which reads The saio
canal, when completed, shall forever
thereafter be esteemed a public higa-
way Section 81 in part: THE cor
poration shall not be allowed to take
or approprfate y to the use or
said canal any land, water or streams
of water. but such only as are actually
necessary for the erection and use Oh
said canal for the purposes of naviga-
ton only . . = 1t shall not be au-
thorized to use or appropriate any part
of said waters for mills, or n other
purpose than the mere navigation OF
said cana"
Note in the above, that the use of
water for any other purpose than FOR
navigation constitutes a violation OF
the contract. That the ~decadence OF
the canal into something not a public
highway constitutes a violation Of the
contract.
A contract is an agreement between
two parties and can be terminated
when violated by either party.
Hence since the canal company has
broken sections IS and 81 of it's agree
ment with the State of New Jersey, the

A PECULIAR RULING.

A woman in a New York police
court, charged with assault and
battery, demonstrated so wildly
the in which she had been
attacked that she broke a bottle
owe her attorneys jaw.
1T was just like that she wal
loped me, your honor" she ex-
planned, and the magistrate was so
much impressed, he let her go.
We do not wish to seem to criti-
cize the bench. but we are forced
to the opinion that this magistrate
set a dangerous precedent.
AS 1t Is, the life of the average
police court lawyer is less secure
than that of a great many train
robbers If clients are to be per-
mitted to illustrate their battles on
the maps of these long-suffering
smen the time is not far distant
when life insurance companies will
refuse to accept them as risks.
Let US take, for instance, the case
of a man who has been shot at. He
wishes to acquaint the magistrate
with the details of the attack. Is
he to be permitted to shoot at his
attorney, no matter. how lightly he
values the services of that worthy?
We say not-decidedly not. This.
indeed, may be an extreme case, but
it is the principle of the thing which
gets us excited and wrought up.
If a magistrate likes that sort Of
evidence. he, should at least take
turns. being "it' himself.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The General Assembly of the Presby-
terrain Church, now In session at At
lantic City, is called upon to decide
what shall be done with charges OF
heresy against young ministers who
were licensed, as 1 understand 1t, by
the Presbytery Of New York, after they
had denied the divinity of the Lord.
Some of my Presbyterian friends think
the General Assembly has a hard prob
lem to solve, but it is a very easy ones
If the charge against the young men
be true they should be convicted OF
heresy, in that they violated the oath
in the book Of discipline, If they sub
scribed to it. and the ministers in the
New York Presbytery who voted for
them should be disciplined.
About thirty years age Professor
Miller, of Princeton Theological Semi

in his denomination, arose and said he

to violate that pledge?" the Rev. DR..
Craven asked. "If he does he should
get out of the Presbyterian religion.
Mr.. Moderator, I call for the vote"
The young ministers who talked SO

them they would do. They had told

j TRIBUTE TO A LEGISLATOR.

m PPRECIATION of faithful and efficient public service is sell
I'M dom the need of the man in public life. In the Legislature
the men who display the greatest devotion to the public
interests and who are untiring and self sacrifcing in their work get
little more recognition of their services than those who are neglect
full and even false to duty. Assemblyman Mark A. Sullivan, of
Hudson county, in the four years he has served in the House of AS
senbly, has made a record that may be characterized as brilliant. and
the exceptional and splendid testimonial that was given to him in
Jersey City last night was justly his due. If it were the custom to-
extend to all good Legislators the same public tributes and to pass
over the bad ones in eloquent silence what a fine incentive there
would be for conscientious legislative work at Trenton!

ALL iii CANNON coNdREssMEN STICK.

nv ONE of the Cannon congressman from this State shows any
AM inclination as yet to retire. "Barkis is wilin" in every one
of the districts. As Cannonism and Aldrichism are to
figure very largely in the election campaign next fall, the candi
dacies of these congressman, 81 closely identified with Cannonism
and with the Payne-Aldrich tariff, now universally execrated, will
necessarily be a clog on party effort. There are other candidates.
for the nominations in several of the districts, and the party voters
may in their wisdom decide to leave the sitting members at home
by electing convention delegates unfriendly to their candidates..
The party organization managers in several districts may decide on
new candidates. Whatever betides, there will be changes in the
New Jersey delegation in the next Congress, and the obstinacy of
the Cannon men and the bad judgment of party managers may com
pletely reverse the political complexion of the delegation.

UF, as is fully expected, the Baninger investigating committees
majority report shall be whitewashing one, Ballnger can
wisely seize the opportunity to resign. In doing SO he Will
greatly relieve the anxiety of his party managers. II, as is now
generally believed, Ballinger was put at the head of the interior
department for a purpose, he probably won't resign. AS President
Taft is so well satisfed-with Balinger that he has permitted his
administration to be compromised, Balfnger is in no danger OF a
hint to leave the cabinet. There is a suggestion now of the creation
of a national department of public works to include the interior
department. which would necessitate the abolition of the office OF
secretary. AS Congress must make this change, If it is made at ALL
the proposition would go over to the second session, and most likely
to the next Congress, and Balinger might serve throughout the
whole term of Mr.. Taft. 1t may be useful in one respect, however.
1t would help to tide matters over the November election.

THE TROUBLES IN CHINA.

~ ENERAL unrest and antiforeign feeling in parts of China
NH cannot be qhieted. Prejudice against the foreigner is part
#Fa of the Chinese nature. 1t always has existed, and to a large
extent it is well justified. Nor can we say that the white race is
altogether unprecedented in respect to the Chinese. The unrest made
evident by native riots and attacks upon property is not caused by
this prejudice. 1t is rather a manifestation of the change that the
ancient empire is undergoing. After asleep of many centuries China
is waking up in bewilderment, dazzled by the light of Western civil
izaIon. Great changes are not made without convulsions. China
cannot adopt Western ideas with the facility of Japan. Great up
heavals will precede the changes. The present troubles in China
may be the beginning of a great national tragedy.

Ogden and Mulberry streets parallel Broad street, and by diverting
cars from Broad street at some point to cross Market street at Null

reduced. At the same time the facilities for travel ON Mulberry

Tro EsOLUTE action by the partisans of Senator Beverdge at
Inn Indianapolis defeated the purpose of the regulars to knock
him out in the party primaries yesterday. But it is a fact
of some significance that the primaries were only moderately at
tended, although there was an issue calculated to bring out a large
party vote. The slim primaries are Indicative of a party indifference
in Indiana not by any means favorable to success in November, even
