GOVERNOR FORTS FAREWELL.


The last message OF a retiring Gov
ernor is not comparable In its appeal to
expectancy and curious interest with
the first address Of his incoming success
sOr, the apt admonition as to the con-
trast between putting on and laying Off
armor being obviously more subjective
than objective in application. Yet there
is as much food for civic as well as
for partisan reflection IN Governor
Forts utterance Of yesterday as therc
can well be in Woodrow Wilson's
week hence, and the friends OF the new
executive will have cause for gratifca-
ton If at the end OF his three years
term his record of things done ia on the
whole as satisfactory as that Of his pred
ecessor.
The achievements OF the administra-
ton which is now dosing In New Jersey
have In fact been noteworthy I'm both
manner and substance. for IN an un-
usual degree they are TO be credited
personally TO the Governor, who secured
them by individual urging and by his
direct appeal to the moral sense OF the
party and OF the public. On more than
one or two occasions he had TO do this
against the opposition Of those who
should have been his strong supporters.
The result in every case showed how
right he was In insisting upon loyal
fulflment OF pledges and compliance
with the clearly manifested will OF the
people, and how sadly I'm error, from
even the point OF view Of personal and
partisan profit, az well RS on the higher
grounds OF principle and moral account
ability, were those who opposed his
course. Governor Forts observation that
the people OF the state expressed their
judgment In the late election on that
point is true and pertinent
1t Is 10 be regretted that In passing
judgment on the Republican party 80
many citizens ignored its positive
achievements for good and emphasized
their disapproyal Of its sins Of omis-
sion; but that Is a common practice.
There is little question that II popu
lar verdict had been sought and given
on the merits Of Governor Forts admin
istration, as differentiated from the
work Of the Legislature, II would have
been heartily and strongly favorable 1t
will be a lasting source Of satisfaction
TO Mr. Fort, and II should be n valuable
lesson 10 the leaders OF both parties In
New Jersey, that the Republican party
was strong and successful In so far as
II supported him in loyal execution Of
its promised policy, for which the peo-
pie had given 1t mandate. and hat Il

POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

vi Z isih fIJsISN Wv OI EL-' = Ch''''
The Senate judiciary Committee has
voted to report a resolution authorizing
the submission of a Constitutional
amendment providing for the popular
election Of Senators That is further
than the upper house of Congress has
ever gone before toward approving the
direct method of election. The House
Of Representatives has four times passed
resolutions TO submit such an amend
mention July q. 1894, May II, 1898,
April 13. 1900. and February 13, 1902.
In each case the Senate refused to con-
cur. Since 1902 the House has shown
little interest in the proposed change,
chiefly because the earlier active de-
mand for the popular election Of Sena-
tors has been met In many states by the
adoption of the primary system and the
direct nomination Of party candidates for
the Senate 1t is a noteworthy change
OF front which now puts the Judiciary
Committee Of the upper house in the posi-
ton of proposing a uniform scheme of
direct elections.
The judiciary Committees resolution
may receive a two-thirds majority in
both houses at this session, but the
chances seem to be against such hurried
action. Constitutional revision is a cum
bersome process. to be resorted to only
when all other remedial agencies fail.
They have not failed In this case. for
the states which wish 10 name their
Senators by popular vote can do so now
without let or hndrance. Why should
It be thought desirable 10 force the
states which prefer the old method to
drop 1t before they are ready to make
the change? IF the new system pro-
duCes good results after a fair trial
most Of the states will adopt It volun-
tarily. Just as all OF them accepted the
similar change which took the power to
name the President and Nice-President
out of the hands OF the Electoral Col
leges. The amendment favored by the
Senate judiciary Committee seems both
belated and superfluous-at least on any
other ground than that It is objection
able to nullify Constitutional require
ments by indirection.

4 GOOD LEGINNING.

Last nights meeting OF the Charity
Organization Society was remarkable Tor
its tributes to the success Of the recent
statute reforming the inferior CRIMINAL
courts of this city. The law seems 10
be fulfilling the expectations OF its sup
porters. The Domestic Relations Court
and the night courts are performing
useful service. The abolition or the
"bridge" has done away with some OF
the evils Of the old system. The keep
ing Of proper records and the general
standardization Of the work OF the
courts In accordance with the require
ments of the law are putting an end to
the condition Of irresponsibility that
used 10 prevail. which made every
magistrate and judge a law unto him
self. The recent getting rid Of magis-
trate whose work had been the subject
of great and constant criticism is an
illustration OF the value Of having super
visory chief magistrates.
Work under the new law has unques-
tionably been well begun, and II the per
sonnet OF these inferior benches Is kept
up to a high standard great progress will
undoubtedly be made in their part Of
the administration OF the criminal law.
And the gain will not be confined TO the
work Of the courts themselves. Prop
erly conducted, these courts will do
much to teach respect for law and TO
simplify and render effective the work
OF the police.

Fifteen or twenty years later, at the
age of forty or fifty years, the health OF

causes threw multitudes OF old soldiers

thirty years had elapsed after the close
OF the war many veterans, perhaps more
than half OF them then from fifty to sixty
years old. found themselves incapable OF
vigorous eXertion and cut off from the

numbers IL was necessary that they

THE SELDEN PATENT CASE.

There have been few decisions In
patent suits in recent years-let us say
since the elaborate and protracted tele-
phone litigation-more interesting and
more suggestive than that which has
lust been announced in the Selden auto
mobile case. The wide and rapidly ex-
tending use OF automobile vehicles
driven by gasolene engines invested with
something like the romance OF fairy
tale. or the legend Of the purse Of For
tunatus. the story that lawyer OF
Rochester. by virtue OF his having In
vented and patented certain essential
devices in their mechanlsm WAS entitled
TO a handsome royalty OH nearly all OF
them That such was the case n court
not long ago declared. Now a higher
court dissents In certain respects from
that judgment. and suggests some ex-
ceedingly interesting reflections upon the
whole system Of patent rights and copy
right; quite apart, we should explain,
from the legal technicalities which are
involved in this case Itself.
A point upon which the court dwells
is the fact that while Mr.. Selden made
his invention and applied for letters
patent upon 1t in 1875 he took no
further action for sixteen years and
did not secure the patent until 1895.
The law permits such delay. Why the
inventor in this case availed himself Of
il we shall not assume 10 determine
But IL is obvious that man might pur
posely delay action in this manner just
with the profitable development of a val
liable invention and of then himself
