PENALIZzNG THE VISITING STRANGER.

6TAO what extent the automobnists of other States should be
ii penahzed for visiting New Jersey has been a question. The
present law charges "A dollar for eight days. Leader Edge, of
the Assembly majority, submitted a proposition to give them the
privilege of the State, without penalty, for three periods of ten DAYS
each in a year. His bill as amended and passed by the House re
duces the three periods to five days each. The amended bill is fair
and necessary. New Jersey is a great house of entertainment and a
great national highway of travel. Its seashore has been grandIy
developed by the policy of playing the host, for nearly all the i'm
mense improvements there were made for the stranger within our
gates. If it were not for the host of visitors from other States
most of our seacoast would still be occupied by the original sand
dunes. and the only population would be fishermen. The stranger
has come in and created many beautiful suburban places, the pride
Of the State. He has brought capital and enterprise with him.
Why should we penalize the stranger because he visits the State
IN an automobile? Is it not as if a woman hostess in a house
'xacted payment from her guests for walking cL her carpets and
rugs? The amount of money left in the State annually by motorists
OF other States is very large, and it is widely distributed, but that
is a comparatively unimportant part of the benefits of this class
OF travel. Many who come merely to visit become permanent resi-
dents and add to the general wealth of the State. Automobile
trips are taken to locate factory sites, and a factory is a valuable
contribution to a State. Motorists through New Jersey advertise
the advantages of the State abroad. They tell their friends and
neighbors. New Jersey should build golden bridges for the
stranger, not meet him at the threshold of the State with demands
for money for the privilege of entering the State.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
While / am not an admirer of the
methods of Prosecuting Attorney Will
bur A.. Mott. it seems to me that the
attack made on him by Antonio Petrone
al the meeting of the State Board OF
| Charities and Corrections at Camden
Monday was a trifie harsh, to say the
least
I refer to the statement that foreign
ers who are hailed to court do not re-
ceive fair treatment, and particularly
10 the assertion that owing to their in
ability to understand OIL speak the Eng
lish language they are often r~ailroaded
to prison on charges they do not I'M
derstand.

rooms of Essex county every day, and

sibly would not appeal to the casual
visitor. One thing is a fact. Willy law
yers often, almost Invariably, instruct
Of the English language for the pur-
pose of preventing rapid fire cross

are also instructed TO pretend to rot

them by the interpreters.

cases where a man charged with crime,

The Duties OF Jurors.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-The average petit jury as
drawn in this county is a curious thing
1t usually consists of about fifty men
who want and will try to consistently
perform the duties imposed on them
while the other seyenty-five simply looI
on the jury duty as a snap, pay no at
tention to the evidence in the cases
they are drawn on and go to juryroom
without any real idea of the evidence
they are to judge. =
That this fact is true is evidenced by
actions in every case that comes up in
the county courts. True, many of the
cases are tiresome and long drawn-out.
but the attitude of many jurors never
changes, no matter how vital the inn
port of the case.
1t shows lack of Americanism when
a mar drawn for jury duty fails to an
preciate it. He no only Hoes injustice
TO his fellow men, but to himself as
well. and by his indifference clogs the
wheels of justice that are already up to
their hubs in delay. +
1t is not a fair proposition when one
conscientious man on a jury can sway
eleven others to his way Of thinking
simply because the other men are too
lazy to figure things out for themselves
Occurrences like this happen every day
at the Court House.

Corruption in british Election..

TO the Editor of the Evening Star:

short extract from Il personal letter just

the gravity Of the constitutional issue,

in these counties intimidation is ram

1t is interesting to know that political

VERY PULLING.

In the interests of law and order,
We instituted an Investigation into
the case of that 12-year-old Newark
boy who escaped from a probation
officer.
Our representatives have been
convinced that on the way from the
lads home the officer stopped to
make but one call and then the
youthful prisoner was left in the
street alone but a few minutes.
We mention this fact merely be-
cause it was just after he came out
of the house that the officer missed
the boy. otherwise it would have
no significance.
Up to date. it must be confessed.
instead of clearing up the mystery,
we have but served to cloud it.

THE PULL ON THE STATE TREASURY.

q TATE COMPTROLLER WEST estimates at 81, 2O0SI4.OS the
81 amount of the supplemental appropriation bill to be passed
by the Legislature from the figures he received from the
heads of the departments and institutions that want the extra
appropriations for this year. These same departments and insti-
tutons will require $5140952.79 in the regular annual appro-
pratons for the next fiscal year. The amount, however, will be
provided for out of the receipts OF next year, and not from the
treasury resources this year. The net resources of the State
treasury available for State uses on January 10 this year amounted
10 $667,595S2, but a large income was coming in from various
sources. The estimate of total treasury receipts this fiscal year is
s5.151S7O, and the regular appropriations for the year are $4y345,
017.32. If the supplemental bill reaches. the figure of the comp.
rollers estimate, the estimated balance of free money in the
treasury on October 81 next will be somewhere near zero. The
Governor has declared that at the close of the fiscal year there
should be a free balance of a million dollars in the treasury. Half
of that amount would be safe and be less inviting for moneyspend-
ing jobs. The joint appropriations committee will have a clear
understanding of the financial situation, and il the supplemental
bill shall be extravagant the committee will sin knowingly.

WHEN WOMEN EDIT THE NEWSPAPERS.

NM RS. BELMONT, the sufragette leader, says confidently that
Y things will change when women edit the newspapers
Unquestonably there will be a decided change. But, of
course, before it is effected the women who are to do the editing
will be obliged to go to school to the male editors for the neces-
sary training. You can't turn Out editors in young ladies' semi.
naries or suHragette. societies. There is no school for journalism
but that of experience. Before the newspapers of the country arc
turned over to women editors, TOO, there will be necessary some
material change in the feminine mental makeup. In some way
the logical faculty will have to be developed, as we'll as q new
order OF ideas, to be in harmony with the character Of editorial
work.

not understand or be able to speak one
word of the English language. But,
strange to say, that same person be-
fore he took the stand, or afterward,
has been heard to converse in fluent

fact, and it is not an isolated case
either. 1t happens very often in the
corridors of the Court House.

There is something startling In the
tactics employed by the influences back
of Secretary Ballinger to discredit and
if possible ruin the men who are cham
pioning the conservation policy and ex-
posing the combinations and plots of
those who are in league to rob the
nation Of its natural wealth. The
Ballinger investigation has reached a
point in the developments made that
is critical for Secretary B%allinger. He
has been smirched by the testimony
given, and Pinchot is yet to go upon
the stand. II a job a be successfully
put up against CLAWS, Pinchot may not
escape. Men who see hundreds of mil
ions of wealth within their reach won't
stop at conspiracy against those who
stand in their way.

Assemblyman Kenny wants the Legis-
lature to authorize municipalities TO
send back to the Secretary of State, by
freight or express, the voting machines
abolished in the districts. And 1t seems
to be necessary to force the hand of
Secretary of State Dickinson. even if
the bill a%bolishing the machines forth
with is made a law, for there is nothing
mandatory on him to take back the
machines. Newark is saddled with the
are apd expense of keep of all the ma
chimes that were kicked out in the dis
trict elections, Dickinson refusing to
take them back, evidently with the idea
that they a in some way be again
forced upon the districts. MI. Kenny's
bill should be backed up by demands
from the municipalities.

Thu most pathetic part of the appeal
by the attorneys for the East Jersey
Water Company for the right to divert
we'll water to Staten Island was on be-
halt of the people of the island. 1t
brought salty tears TO the eyes of the
attorneys themselves. But all this be-
nevoience and sympathy were misdi-
rected. Staten Island doesn't need Jer-
sey water, and doesn't want it. Ac-
credited representatives of Staten
Island Travelled all the way to Trenton
yesterday to give that assurance, and
they were not lawyers and did not talk
for a fee. Since Staten Island doesn't
need and doesn't want the benevolence
of the East Jersey Water Company,
what remains for the company to do
but drop it's hypocriticaI cloak and
confess its real object?

The employees of the State govern
ment at Trenton are well paid, and do
not have onerous duties, Some of them
may be said to have, no duty at all ex-
cept to draw their salaries. But 1t has
occurred to some of them that the
fare. A bill for that purpose was in
troduced in the Legislature last night.
But why stop at car-fare? Why not
their grocery and butcher bills, and the
rent of their dwellings? Why not their
cigars and liquid refreshments? While
the State is paying the bills of these
officials and employees why not pay the
whole bill and be lone with it?
The Jersey City Journal remarks that
as a lawyer Everett Colby has a right
to take a fee and plead the cause of the
East Jersey Water Company against
the public welfare, but the Journal adds:
1.-THE fact that Colby has taken sides
with the so-called water-snake would
seem. to indicate that he has voluntarily
retired from politics. The general i'm
preston is that Mr.. Colby has involun-
tarily been retired from politics. No
sane politician would consent to appear
in such a role. and Mr.. Colby is sane,
although somewhat erratic.
1t is somewhat anomalous to see a
former governor, a former attorney
general and a former refor1ner figuring
before an Assembly committee as the
attorneys for a watcr-snake company,
the notorious enemy of the interests of
the State, in it's sinuous efforts to get
control of the very life of the people
of the State, their water supply.

STANDS FOR PROGRESS

STANDS FOR PROGRESS
In his speech at Kansas City,
July Is, Clifford Pinchot is re.
ported as saying:
The old practice of giving per-
petual grants to private interests is
impossible and the future is safe
against the oppression of monopoly.
The fundamental idea of conser-
walton is to make of this country a
better home for the race and to
make the race a better one in that
home. The nation should think of
its marvellous riches. Conserva-
ton does not mean to stop develop.
ment, but so to use the country's
natural resources that the people
who come after us may enjoy them.
believe new school of politics
is coming in the United States.
This new school will decide
whether the country shall be
governed by money for profit or by
men for human welfare.
The essential questions before
the people now are outside of pa. ty
lines. In looking over the names
OF those who voted for the Pay ne
Aldrich tariff bill ! am led to be-
lieve that regular Republican, and
regular Democrats are the same.
l am Republican, and do not
believe in the necessity of third
party at this time, and there won't
be any. l am not a Cannon Re-
publican or an Aldrich Republican,
but l am a Dolliver, Cummins,
Beveridge, La Toilette, Murdoch,
Norris, Stubs Republican.
l want to be counted with the
men VINO go ahead. The ideals of
public-spirited Democrats are ex-
actly the same as the ideals of
public spirited Republicans. We
must all work together to put the
special interests out of politics. l
am for the man who puts man
above the dollar, progress above
reaction, and the insurgents above
the regulars. There is an over
whelming issue. 1t is this: Shall
special interests run this country,
or shall the peopl- handle it them
selves? / am sure the American
people are tired of being ruled by
a small self-elected body of men
whose only motto is accumulation.
