M the sporting fraternity OF

asted in the larger universities of the

Many Changes In Rules.
There is abundant reason for the
unprecedented interest taken in the
erridiron game at all the football cen
fers. 1t is TO be traced back to the
radical changes made in the rules this
year. The uncertainty which now ex-
lists in the fotban world is not unlike
that which existed four years ago when
the forward pass was first introduced
Now. as then, the football world knows
not what to expect Then the bellef
was current that the new game would
be one of radical innovations in which
the old style would be lost altogether.
In a measure this was borne out, but
not in the sudden manner predicted
During the past four years the game
has gradually undergone a change in

Texas Colleges Prepare for Fray.
At the State university, the A. and NJ
college Baylor university and other
large institutions the football coaches
are already on the ground, the sched-
uIes have been announced and every
thing is being gotten in readiness for
the game. All are optimistic over the
possibilities of the team and are this
early in the season claiming the cham
pionship.
The great interest in Texas centers
in the games played by the State uni
versity and the a and NJ. college, and
the final championship between the
two teams. Heretofore two games
have been played between those two
teams. but the schedule this year pro-
vides for but one. This will be No

teams will be in the best possible trim.

Amateur Regulators.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is amusing to note. the ease with
which the amateur can settle national
issues and do big things while many
miles away from the scene of action.
Representative Padgett Is quoted rs
having said that you can take half
the United States navy and thai it
will be larger, and more efficient ir
fighting capacity than the Japanese
navy" Mr.. Padgett is from Tennessee
which is not a maritime State and
whose interests do not run to naval or
marine matters. He also wants you
to take half the navy
Only yesterday Bishop Anderson, who
is also from Tennessee, told a gath
ering of missionary workers that he
had settled the negro question in a
very few minutes a thousand times
while many miles from where the
negroes outnumber the whites from two
to seven to one. When he got to
Tennessee he found that there were a
great many conditions which he did
not count upon.
L fancy that the same thing would
occur if MIR. Padgett were placed in a
different position to opposing the naval
appropriation bill on the floor of the
House. Russia was going to take
japan before breakfast, and the world
agreed that Port Arthur could not
possibly be taken by an attacking
force, but the Japs showed them all
that they were wrong. 1t may seem
a terrible waste of money to Tennes-
see to maintain a navy bigger than a
string of box cars when there are boil
weeyils to fight, hookworms. to COM
bat and ~pellagra to let the medical
specialists waste government money
on, but the Japanese navy would punch

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION.

ea HE Essex grand jury is to be discharged tomorrow, and the
results of its long Investigation of the affairs OF the County
Hospital for the Insane at Overlook will be handed to the
court. There are conflicting statements as to what those results
are. 4 presentment will be made to the court, and the uncertainty
is in regard to indictments. The evidence before the grand jury
has not been made public, but the Investigation by the Board OF
Freeholders brought out testimony that was public property. 1t
was shown in that testimony that the management of the county
hospital had been shamefully negligent; that great scandals had
occurred: that discipline was lax; that the records were utterly
unreliable; that outrages had occurred, and that the moral tone OF
inc institution was low. 1t has been understood that evidence even
more serious was submitted TO the grand jury. That body has also
investigated the construction of the hospital buildings, and, IT is
stated. found grave Irregularities to such an extent that a few days
ago The Indictment of several freeholders was tentatively agreed
unn. Whether the intention has since been abandoned will be def
Mtelv known tomorrow when the grand jury appears in court.
There has been an impression from the beginning of the investi-
cation of county hospital affairs that the outcome would really
amount to nothing. and there has been a growing opinion that the
scandals al Overlook should be made the subject of expert investi-
CATION under the law permitting twenty-five freeholders to petition
the court for such an investigation

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Seeing our editorial in the STAR
on the subway's effect on Military
Park and referring to your sketch of

should the subway go under the park

I would suggest that the station be
under Broad street just north of Rec

place or going in the rear of the houses
in that street. There is plenty of
room. Very few people travelling on
this road are going shopping. Most
are in a hurry to get to their business
or get home, and are looking for the
quickest way to get there. By run

A PROMISE TO BE FULFILLED.

m LAST stand by the water.snake is taken against the McCran
II anti aterdiversion bill in an amendment said to have been
drafted by former Justice Van Syckel, representing the
water company. and adopted by the coterie of senators who have
held the bill up so long and whose time this week was mostly occu-
pied with privately laid plans to kill the object of the bill. This
amendment differs only in mode from the amendment that has been
so energetical1y and extensively lobbied for. 1t is the same in
essence. 1t is intended, if adopted, to beat the devil around the
stump. Passed by the Senate and rejected by the House, it will
serve an even better purpose, for it will defeat the McCran bill
afsthis session. That result accomplished, the watersnake will
hayesa clear path across the Kill Won Kull after the Legislature is
out of the way. The Governor has heretofore had to be reckoned
with. His attitude ON this amendment is not known, but he cannot
forget that he declined to call a special session last year, with the
promise that the present Legislature would enact the necessary
legislation. That promise must be fulfilled.

STATE APPROPRIATIONS AND MORTGAGES.

6a HE tendency of Legislative appropriations is always upward,
and the pace is faster when there is large treasury surplus
to bank upon. On October 81 last there was a net free
balance of $964,353 in the State treasury. The comptroIers esti
mate of S5151,s70 as the probable receipts this year, added to the
net surplus, made "a total of S6.116,223 of resources for the year
The statutory disbursements for the year foot up to ~$4,245,017.
Without taking the supplementary appropriations for this year, yet
TO be made by the Legislature, into account, this leaves a balance
of $1,S7120 Governor Fort in his annual message anticipated
that the supplemental appropriations would not exceed $4,000
which would leave a free balance of about a million dollars for
the end of the fiscal year. The amount tentatively adopted is
$701, 800, or double the amount of last year The appropriations in
the annual bill for next year amount to $4,S45,362, as against
$4245.017 last year. Altogether the increase approximates a mil
lion dollars. But the appropriation bills to be passed will not
include all the expenditures to which the State will be pledged
by this Legislature. A women's reformatory has been authorized
and armores are to be built, for which no present provision is
made. The Legislature not only spends a million more than last
year, but mortgages the treasury for hundreds of thousands more

~oxerheatcd schools.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t appears the Board of Education
has discovered that the temperature of
school rooms should not be above So
degrees, and that their overheated con-
dition during the past winter is much
to be deplored. or words to that effect.
OF course it is gratifying to note that
these things have been officially rec
ognized, even though the intended re-
form comes at a time when it is too
late to do anything in the matter.
The time to have remedied the over
heated room evil was at the beginning
of winter, and to discuss the matter at
this time is absurd. 1t seems rather
late in the day to awake to the fact
that our school rooms in winter have
been one of the most prolific sources
of disease that our children could have
been subjected to, and it is no unusual
thing to find a temperature of so de-
grees and over in a crowded schoo
room in winter.
OF course the teachers are largely
responsible for this condition. but even
If they are dollhouse plants themselves,
they should at least open the windows
at occasional intervals and let a little
pure air in. If this necessary detail
does not strike them as desirable 1t
is time that thu Board of Education
took a hand in the matter and made
the rule obligatory.
In any event the time to take action
In these matters is during the season
when they apply. and not after it is too
late to effect any change for the bet

Another Rap at Fort.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
In the movement for a small pay for
retired Methodist preachers, Governor
Fort said in a speech Wednesday night:
"I nave obtained, through the gener-
osity of the Legislature, a pension fund
for judges who are more than seventy
three years old, who may retire on one
third pay"
The salary of the Supreme Court
Judge is $4,000 q year. The Governor
his laudable act of having
a pension for these underpaid and
Woodworking judges with the poor
Methodist preacher.
The taxpayers of the State would not
be disturbed if the judges who nave
been getting $4,000 or $4,000 a year
were retired without any pension. Ger
tainly a cor comparison to make in
the advocacy of the claims of a poor
Methodist peracher. But such is Fort!

A NEW STATE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN.

m STATE INSTRUMENTATION bill introduced in the Senate last
M night is correct in principle. Until its provisions are closely
examined no judgment can be pronounced on its merits. 1t
provides for a new State board of water supply and conservation,
to supplant the present State Water Supply Commission, and the
sum of $5000,000 is to be raised for the acquisition of watersheds
in North and South Jersey and their development by the construc-
ton of dams and reservoirs. The sale by the State of this water
to the municipalities would pay interest and principal of the in
vestment, so there would actually be no State expenditure. AS
Governor Fort recently sketched out this comprehensive plan, it is
assumed his was the paternity of the bill introduced. But then,
what show has a good water bill at this legislative session, and
at this period, and amid all the watersnakes that are wriggling
in and out of the Senate chamber?
