1farcical to say that the State has no power. All the railroads Ill
the State are creatures of the State and subject to its power. New
Jersey may not have technical jurisdiction over interstate % III

by the State. with certain sovereign powers that may be exercised at
the will of the Legislature. The instinct of the people turned to

Remained unconyinced that that procedure is not the right one.
The conviction will be confirmed and strengthened by the more

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
1t may not be too late to say a
word about the unfortunate condition
created by the untimely curtailment OF
the force of inspectors in the office OF
the sealer of weights and measures.
The corps of men in this department
was never large, and, in fact, could
have Deer increased with every pros
pect of adding to the efficiency of this
important branch of the city govern
ment.
1t is difficult to classify the kind OF
legislation that cut down to almost
nothing this necessary department. 1t
could hardly be called economy, and
perhaps If the proper definition waste
be given it might ruffle the feelings of
the men who are responsible for the
condition that o exists.
The excellent work that the men in
this department had been doing, ana
the numerous frauds that they had
discovered and stopped was n of the
biggest projections that housewives
have received in a long while, and to
make it impossible to follow up this

POLITICS.

rTa HE adjournment of Congress will give the country something
u of a rest from national questions. The legislators will flock
TO their home States and districts to look after rheir political
fences, and the chiefs of departments will take their vacations. The
centre of interest will be shifted TO the States and State politics.
Before the direct primary system anne into vogue the summer
marked a long pause in politics. \ midsummer campaign was Il
thing unheard of. The September nominations make political
activity in July and August imperative upon candidates and party
managers. In this State the released members of Congress will
come back to work. No congressional nominations are made ia
primaries, but this year the organization leaders may not so easily

o POLICE CREDIT FOR cHARLToN's ARIES

eIa HE arrest of Porter Charlton, the wife murderer, upon landing
al at Hoboken from an Italian steamer Yesterday was not due
to police detective vigilance and skill. If he arrest had been
left to the police of New York or New Jersey Charlton would have
walked off the pier unobseryed. The arrest was effected by acct
dent. A brother of the murdered woman of his own volition took
two New York detectives to The steamer pier to watch the Iassen-
gers land, otherwise they would not have gone there. And the
police authorities in New jersey gave no thought TO the possibility
that the murderer would land in floboken, The incident shows up
police methods in Il ridiculous light. Need there be any wonder
that s. much crime goes undetected and 80 mauy criminals unpun
ished when there is such an exhibition of police indifference and
STUPIDITY. Es

A NIGHT REDRESS.

Gradually the barriers which
have excluded women from some
few professions are being broken
down, bent aside or frankly
chopped UP into kindling wood.
Every little while we hear of a
woman who, despite all handicaps,
has managed to succeed in a call
ing which up to that time had been
regarded as fitted for men alone.
Here in Newark, for instance, but
yesterday. or mayhap the day be-
fore, a woman was arrested as a
horse-thi8. She was driving a
stolen horse at the time or the de-
teotives who captured her would
never have thought OF associating
her with the theft.

Among other things to which the
citizens OF the State may point with
pride Is the fact hat New Jersey Is
the first commonwealth to appeal for
help under the new Federal railroad
law. If there is any virtue in the law
it will be called upon probably To work
overtime, and as the long list of APP
peals begin to come in the promptness
of New Jersey viii continue to be u
source of self-congratulation. That de-
cree from the commission. suspending
the proposed increase in passenger
rates, sounds like sweetest music just
now. as it makes the precedent set by
New Jersey an effective one.
1t is difficult at times to understand
why a murderer should deliberately
walk into the arms of the representa-
tives of the law. What impulse could
from justice, to take passage on a
North German Lloyd steamship which
would be watched, as a matter of
course? Perhaps he had realized the
futility of flight and welcomed arrest
as affording relief from the tension UNI
der which he had been laboring. Then,
too, the author of a crime in a foreign
country might feel that to get back
home quickly was the one thing worth
striving for.

ONE CRITICISM.


1t was said of the passengers on
the Deutschland in that first his
tory-making trip of the big dirigible
that they 'lolled around the mag
nifcent staterooms. looked down at
the scenery and slipped wine"
We believe we could be reasona-
bly, satisfied with life if every fair
day we might "loll around the mag
niicent staterooms of an airship
and look down." etc.
And yet, while not wishing to
knock an infant industry, it might
be well just now to call attention to
the TACT that aerial navigation is
likely to induce superciliousness.
Passengers in the breeze boats will
get the habit of looking down" on
the finest natural scenery and the
greatest of the works of man.
