that time-honored custom and elect a
mayor of their own. In 1863, when New
York was made a corporation, there
was no mayor, that is, nothing like
what we have now, and 1t was not until
1775, more than a hundred years after
New York was made a corporation, that
the mayor was given the veto power.
In the earliest days the mayo was an
unimportant official. He had not the
right of veto or right of appointment.
He was more of a judicial officer than
anything else, a sort OF a justice of the
peace. like the aldermen. The people,
however, thought At to abolish the
time-honored custom of a no-power
mayor and made him q powerful Off.

inclined to abide by old tradition. the
mayor of the seventeenth century
would be the mayor Of today.
Sentiment should not enter into gov

room in municipal or State affairs. /
agree that the mayor should retain the
veto, n hope he will, under the new
charter. But not because he Is a social
factor in the city, or because our grand
fathers gave him that right.

REPUBLICAN DIVISION IN THE SENATE.

cIFa HE Republican rift in the Senate Widens. Nor could il be
otherwise, considering the fact that the Republican Regu-
lars and Progressives are as wide apart in their policies as
the poles. In the last Senate the Democrats and Progressives
combined did not equal the strength of the Regulars. The boot is
cn the other leg now. and the Progressives are made holder by their
opportunity to combine with the Democrats on any measure desired
by them that may be in harmony with Democratic policy. Such
occasions are bound to arise. The fight in the Senate on reciprocity
and on the general tariff reductions passed by the House will divide
the Republicans into hostile camps. On other national policies
hesides the tariff the divergence of views among Senate Republicans
is as marked and the party struggle will be renewed at the regular
session. President Taft broke away from regular traditions when
he sent his reciprocity message to Congress and in calling the
extra session. For the first time during his administration he
fulfilled the wishes of the people. He is a candidate for renomina-
ton in 1912. How will he manage to steer between the two irrec-
oneilable party elements in Congress at the next session? Which
element will he regard to be his strongest prop for a denomination?

a communication to your Rostrum
column in which he set forth his
reasons for Directing to the proposed
charter. Mr.. Rowe thought that the
mayor of a city should be distinct
from the other commissioners, and that
he should have the veto power. l agree
with the auditor and trust that he will
do all in his power to induce the char
ter revision commission to adopt his
suggestion. l do not know what in
fuence Mr.. Rowe has with the COM
mission, but / assume thai as a high
city official his word will be carefully
considered.
But, although / agree that the mayor
should have a veto power, l would not
put forth some of the reasons that the
auditor did to support my contention.
| am not at all sentimental, and be-
lieve that the city should be governed
by reason and not sentiment. Mr..
Rowe said that the time-honored office
of mayor should not be abolished now
| believe that he mentioned some of
the social duties of the mayor, and said
that he Is a credit to the community.
AS far as the social duties or the
time-honored position is concerned L
for one, do not think that it would
matter much whether we had a mayor
or not. Time-honored things do moi
count with me. King George was q

him in the discard, and slavery was
also a time-honored institution wher
We abolished it. Prisons are time-hon

WHAT H SCHOOL CoMMLssIONER o d BE

TGSOR a salary OF $4,000 a year, the amount authorized by the
new school law. the State will be enabled to secure the
services of a mar of the first class for State school com
missioner, a man Of broad culture and of large experience in the
administration of a public school system. He must also be a
man OF progressive ideas without any penchant for fads in educa-
ton. State Superintendent Baxter is a painstaking official, but he
does not size up to the responsibilities of the position now to be
filled. 1t is unfortunate, also, for him that he openly endeavored
to defeat the Legislative bill providing for the reform of the
state school system, sending out circulars to city and county super
1ntendents urging them to bring influence to bear upon the mem
bers OF the Legislature from their districts against the bill. The
name of Nicholas Murray Butler, formerly a member of the present
state Board of Education and now president of Columbia University,
has been suggested, although it is improbable that Mr.. Butler won d
exchange his university duties for those of a State commissioner
subject TO the authority of the State board. But it is a man of
the cahbre of Nicholas Murray Butler that the great educational
interests of New Jersey need.

NEWARK,S BUILDING EVELOpMENT.

IN \ important era of building improvement has set in f1
an Newark. At the present time there is an extraordinary
number of large buildings in course of erection or
planned. When these structures arise they will make a material
difference in the street landscape of central Newark. It is known
that ever more extensive improvements are in contemplation for
the near future to completely change the aspect of the city at and
near the -Four Corners Sagacious building capitalists invest in
new real estate with good reasons. They study the development
OF a community to ascertain it's newlycreated needs and to antici.
pate them. 1t is evident at this time that the study has been con.
vincing. Newark needs, or soon will need, very large additional
housing room for Offices and business. It also needs more theatres.
a hrstclass hotel, a spacious and well1ocated auditorium and other
new public conveniences. The optimism of our builders is encour.
aged by the enterprise of the city in projecting and carrying out
the great scheme of waterfront and meadow improvement which
is to make our city an important seaport and to advance Newark
IN the rank of manufacturing cities. That undertaking has already
advanced realty values and promoted building enterprise.

COMMON DRINKING CUPS BARRED.

cS HE common drinking cup is now outlawed in New Jersey. \
IL new law just placed on the statute books provides that com
mon drinking cups shall be prohibited in all public places in
New Jersey, and the State Board of Health is given the AUTHORITY
TO establish rules and regulations to make the law effective. Viola
ton of the law is made a misdemeanor. The fact is well established
that the use of the common drnkingcup is a means of communi
cation of infectious diseases. There are many authentic cases OF
people contracting malignant diseases in that way. A practise so
dangerous to health and life should never have been tolerated by
the State. The only doubt about this new law is in regard to its
enforcement, as there is no machinery for the same except that of
the State Board of Health, which is so lame in other respects. But
the moral effect of it will, nevertheless, be good.

Chasing PhantOms.

Chasing PhantOms.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
An article in the STAR yesterday
morning caught my attention, prob
ably because 1t was so directly con-
trasted with what I had Just been
reading. 1t described a mad scramble
which occurred near the Jersey Cen
trail station when a number of bills Of
lading, to some degree resembling
money, were blown from a Wells
Fargo express wagon. Men and
women snatched at the paper with the
same fierce eagerness that Is dis
played during a furry of stocks on
the floor Of the Exchange. They showed
the same spirit that lures men on
e~ternally in their determined, cease
less, desperate striving after gold.
In the newspaper account the oc-
currence was very properly ridiculed.
The triviality and the essential
pathos of this story of the wild scrann-
bling after bits of paper that might
have been bank notes, but weren't,
was impressed upon me because ! had
been studying Spencer's discussion Of
the boundaries of the human mind,
which is, on first reading, l think, one
of the most SOLDERING and solemn chap
ters in English literature.
Little as most Of us realize it We
live in the midst of the u~nknowable
On all sides, turn where we will. there
is a blank wall beyond which not the
kee1est intellect nor the subtlest spec
ulation can ever hope to penetrate.
Space and time and motion are as
much a mystery today as they were in
the time of the Pharaohs.
The human mind is incapable OF
comprehending infnity, even by the
remotest symbolism. And the final ele-
ments to which every scientific truth
can be resolved are alike beyond the
ken of human Acknowledgements un.
movable. That which goes TO makt
UP the smallest motion, the slightesl
act, the most trivial passing thought
is involved in the same unfathomablt
mystery.
This Is nowhere more dramatically
summed up than at the climax OF
George Macdonald's novel. What:

should true lovers dwell but on tn,

NEW JERSEY SETS H III CANAL PACE.

m CTION by Congress for the construction of a ship canal across
N New Jersey as a link in a great coastal waterway will un.
doubtedly be FASTENED by the action of the New Jersey
Legislature in voting an appropriation of S500,000 for the purchase
of right of way. No other Atlantic State through which the water
way is to run has offered TO aid the enterprise in a substantial way
As the principal ports ON the Atlantic coast are New York and
Philadelphia, the waterway work should begin in New Jersey. The
army engineers have estimated the cost of a sealeyel canal 125 feet
vide and eighteen feet in depth at $32500000. The enlargement of
the Chesapeake and Delaware canal to connect Chesapeake bay with
Delaware, New York and Boston bays would be the next step. New
Jersey, by its action, has taken the coastal waterway project out Of
the realm of speculation, and it should now appeal to Congress as
powerfully as the building of battleships or the Improvement of
rivers and bartOrs.
