ROOSEVELT AND BALLINGER.

UATHA Roosevefts attitude towards Ballinger is to be is a
wv matter of wide conjecture. Ballnger is the heart of the
Taft administration. For him sacrifices have been made,
even by the President. For him Garfield was rejected and Pinchot
and CLAWS were dismissed. For his sake the President accepted
and called his own the letter addressed to CLAWS and written by
BaaHngers attorney. For him, also, important papers were sup
pressed and then deliberately misrepresented. On the other hand,
Garfield and Plnchot were the most trusted officials of the Roose-
vlt regime. They represented and executed the conservation
policies. They stood guard over the nations great natural re-
sources. These men were kicked out of Office, their work condemned
and derided and their policies reversed. Consistently, what should
Roosevelt do? If he endorses" the administration he indorses
BaningeE and condemns his own policies and the faithful ministers
thereof. If he turns against Ballinger he must take an attitude
hostile to the administration, of which Ballinger is the heart.

m SSOCIATE JUSTICE FRANCIS j. SWAYZE, of the New
M Jersey Supreme Court, and a resident of Newark, is promi-
nently named as a probable appointee to the United States
Supreme Court. Justice Swayze is 80 years old, and, therefore, at
an age where he is in the ripeness of his powers. Justice Swayze
has been Oh the Circuit Court and Supreme Court bench since 1900,
and his term as Supreme Court justice will terminate next January.
Els circuit is Hudson county. If he is not nominated by the Presi-
dent to the Federal court he will be reappointed for another term,
in accordance with the usage in judicial appointments in this State.
It is unnecessary in New Jersey to speak of the fitness of Justice
Swayze for the United States Supreme Court. He won a COM
nanding position at the bar before he went on the bench, and he
has since earned the reputation of one of the best jurists of New
JERSEY.

w ONDAY brought a period of relief from the intensely hot
NN weather that caused suffering in the abodes of the poor
and ended the lives of not a few tender infants. But the
relief is temporary. Midsummer heat comes in spells of uncertain
duration, and as the thermometer mounts up the suffering increases
and the little ones in the crowded tenements droop and die. The
STARS free ice and outing fund was devised to mitigate this u
fering and save lives. 1t has done splendid work in the past. 1t is
doing as good work this year. But the fund must be sustained, and
the STAR relies upon a generous and sympathetic community to
keep it up with contributions. 1t is unnecessary to say that ice IS
the first essential to the care of infants in hot weather. Another
essential is fresh air. Tomorrow, with the aid of a large contrlbu-
ton by 1. S. Plaut & Co, a steamerload of mothers and babes will
be sent to Coney Island for a days outing. Other similar trips will
follow in order throughout the summer. The blessedness of this
work by the fund appeals to all hearts, and should as eloquenty
appeal to eyerybodys aid.

PROHIBITION FOR FIGHT PICTURES.

TT N many cities public sentiment is already impelling the munich
pal authorities to take action against the exhibition of NOV
ing pictures of the JefriesJohnson fight, and there is ample
Justification for prohibiting it in populous centres. There is, in the
first place, a moral objection, in that the spectacle presented is
brutalizing. The picture shows are attended by women and chill
dren, and shows of such a character do moral harm. The race
question is now a serious one in the United States. The many
riots and ARRAYS that have occurred since the fight at Reno show
the social dynamite that exists and that needs a strong curb. The
moving picture is the commercial end of a fight that should never
have been permitted, for it will have entailed a heavy cost upon
the nation. 1t has already had deplorable results. Picturing the
fight In all the centres of population will keep up and aggravate
race feeling, it will stir up the ignorant and vicious and in
mixed communities provoke riot. The mayor of Cincinnati and
the police authorities of Baltimore have taken strong ground
against the picturing of the fight, and Southern communites gen
orally will put it under the ban. So, also, should all cities where
race hatreds Turk.

MISUNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION.

cot I is significant says the Trenton Times, "that the demand
for the special session comes only from a portion of the
highly favored commuters a few men who are seeking Office
and the minority in the Legislature, which naturally favors any
scheme that offers a chance of making capital to be used in the
approaching campaign" Lack of information may excuse this
foolish statement. Governor Fort, who lives in Essex county, and
knows the truth, may we'll smile at the transformation of the Times.
The commuters, be it remarked, comprise only a part of the com
plafnants. Evidently the Times is not aware of the fact that the
rates for single fares, excursion tickets and fftytrip tickets have

WEDNESDAY EVE MING. JULY 6, 1910.
STATEMENT OF THE ESSEX AssEMBLYMEM.

5a HERE is some inconsistency in the general statement by the
eleven Essex assemblymen in conference last night IN reply
to the query by the Commuters League in regard &c an
extra session of the Legislature. The statement declares the readl
ness of the assemblymen for a special session, but at the same
time ahfrms that the object for which it has been proposed to call
a session is illegal and that any such action would be void. Enter.
taining that expressed belief, it would naturally be the duty OF
the assemblymen to vote against a bill to give to the Pubic
Utilities Commission a power that would be, as the statement says,
a violation of the Constitution and would be in conflict with
judicial decisions. There is an intimaton in the statement that
there is partisanship in the outcry in the State against the rail.
roadrate increase and for State action. The words that conveyed
that idea would better have been left out. The commuters in
North Jersey who have asked for legislative aid are mostly OF the
party that the eleven Essex assemblymen represent.

BOYS Ignorant of Law.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
We had a sane Fourth of July, as
cranks call 1t, yesterday, but in several
sections of the city pistols and rifles
We're fired and big firecrackers were
exploded. I saw seven boys, ranging
In age from Is to 10 years, firing pistols
in the upper part of Academy street
yesterday morning. I knew they did
not know anything about the new law
which prohibits the firing of pistols or
cannon on the Fourth of July and i'm
poses a hne of $50 for each offense. I
took a copy of the STAR and showed
the boys what they must not do. ac-
cording to the lawS 1t was the first
the boys NEW of the Law. They said
their parents bought the revolvers for
them, not knowing it was wrong. The
boys went home and left their re-
v%olvers. 1t is hoped, therefore, that If
any boys were arrested for violating
the new but little-known law the
judges will be lenient.

and it is silly. 1t is impossible to
imagine how a man can have any
respect for himself after being ar
raigned on such a charge. The man
who makes up his mind to take his
life, goes about 1t in a b~usinesslike
way and succeeds may have just
grounds for a sort of elation which
he cannot feel. But the man who
fails at suicide is likely to fail at
everything else he undertakes.
How could anyone who missed
himself at close range be expected
to hit the ~bulls-eye of success? It
is preposterous.
Suicide and the attempts at IL
cannot be too speedily discouraged.
1t has been suggested that capital
punishment be fixed as the pen-
atty for these crimes. But that
seems hardly practicable in either
case. A health crusade to educate
the people concerning the danger of
these practises should be in
augurated.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Before the Jeffries- johnson prize
fight the so-called moral newspapers,
the ministers and the reform hypo-
crits thanked God that Reno was the
last place in the United States in
which a prize fight will ever again be
held. But who has heard a word OF
protest against the hundreds of men
and women from all parts of the coun-
try who are in Reno to get divorces
from the wife or husband they prom
ised at the altar to love and live with
until death? There were special boxes
in the big arena where the fight took
place for these women who are seek
ing a divorce that they may live with
some man they have taken a fancy to,
and whom they may desert in six
months after marriage. Why don't
clergymen preach on this awful sin in
stead of the prize fights, which do not
injure them or their church?

of course, as ambitious an undertaking

in the right direction and should be

Arrangements for the great aerial
race from Chicago to New York have
been completed and the date has been
set. Aviators with the proper record
of achievements in the air may start
on October 8, or any time thereafter
until October 15. They may stop as
often as they see fit, but must finish
the distance in seven days, all OF which
seems to reduce the proposition to very
simple terms. But, after all, the i'm
portant consideration is the speed made
in the air between stops. The science
of aerial navigation has not progressed
SO far but that any one of the con-
testants who finishes the course In an
allotted time may feel reasonably GER
tain of having won the purse.

FAILED TO SIGN
Interesting Point Raised in Probatine
Estate of VIM. H. Martin.

Fargo. N. D.. March 2-The matter
of the hearing of the final report Of
the executor in the estate of the late
VIM. Martin Of Page, N. D., came up
in the county court yesterday before
Judge A. G. Hanson. The executor is
DR.. Martin of Page, who is represent
ed by Attorney A. W. Fowler, while
Attorney W. J. Clapp and Attorney
A. T. Cole represent heirs.
An effort was made by the executor
to collect a claim of $3.50 against Mrs.
N. p. Martin to whom has been as
signed all interest in the estate by her
former husband, a son of the deceased.
The claim had been sued and verdict
rendered in favor Of the plaintiff. It
appears, however, that the justice of
the peace failed to sign the judgment
and II the claim is not allowed, it will
be on this ground. The case has come
up for hearing several times. An adj
journment was taken for one week,
when the decision of the court will
be rendered.
