THE dERAN Bill IN THE LEGISLATURE.

NA7 HEN the Governors bill for ripping up the election laws
WX of the State and substituting a new and novel system,
credited to the authorship of the versatile George L.
Record. shall come under debate In the Legislature, some ripping
of the bill will be done by soberminded men who cannot be intmf
dated by the open threat that they will be blackhsted If they
venture to criticise and oppose the gubernatorial judgment-not
only blackhsted, but denounced as enemies of the State and held
mp TO the popular scorn. Legislators are given TO understand that
there is only one judgment in the matter of the Geran bill, and
that sovereign judgment presides in the executive chambers. Until
The bill, adopted In secret conference, had been introduced in the
Assembly no Democratic legislator had any mixing of a purpose
TO saddle the blanket ballot upon the State. There was no hint
of closing the election polls an hour earlier, to shut out many
workingmen from voting, nor of the large increase of election ex-
penses by the multiplication of districts. fractional representation
on district election boards to demoralize parties was unheard Of
except as a longnursed plan of George L. Record. And what man
in the Legislature conceived any idea of the machinery in the bill
for the government of the party organizations, so ingeniously con-
structed to make the Governor the boss paramount in the State
and the beneficiary of the partys highest rewards? Under the
peculiar circumstances 1t would require some courage for men in
and out of the Legislature to oriticise the Governors bill, and
much more courage to oppose the bill, but intrepid critics will be
found both TO Cdticdse and oppose, despite the anticipatory
warning.

Harvesting Waters


One Of the most interesting develop
ments in the field of electricity is the
long-dlstance transmission of the cur
rent. In Syracuse they use power
from Niagara, 1866 miles away. A plant
at De Saba. in the Sierras, end its
power over a wire 232 miles In the
direction Of San Francisco. Los
Angeles draws power from the Kern
river. 125 miles distant. So daring are
the experimenters in this branch of the
trade that they are already using cur
rents at a voltage of 100000, and may
go much higher In the neal future, says
the Worlds Work.
Here is an industrial factor Of I'M
known potentiality created within a
period go short that young men re-
worked miracles. IT found Los Angeles

featured output OF about SIS, 900, 900

Niagara the most powerful of all the
slaves of industry. Slowly but GER
tainly it is awakening the South from
its long slurnber and bringing back TO
1t industries that properly belong to II.
A river far up in the mountains of

he in a few weeks heard something

TIE PROPOSED NEW CITY CHARTER.

NV BWARKS new city charter, which will be introduced IN the
AM present Legislature, will be independent of the general bill
which is being prepared authorizing cities to adopt the
commission form of government. The draft of the Newark charter
provides for a commission government on a plan long considered
by the Charter Commission. The work of the commission has
been labor1ous and conscientious, and it is evident that the mem
hers of the commission have been actuated by the one desire to
give TO Newark a model municipal government. 1t was only after
the commission had deliberately discussed and tentatively adopted
forms of government similar to that now in vogue that it took
up the Galveston idea and was gradually brought to favor it. But
every step taken by the commission in ohartermaking has been
considered with the most scrupulous care, and the charter draft,
after being tentatively completed. has been subjected TO many
revisons. Last night the commission struck out the provision for
a municipal civil service board, after the matter had been thor
oughly threshed out. and it was further provided that in the new
charter scheme Of government the comptroller should be the prin-
ipal financial officer. For the first time the questions of initiative
referendum and the recall We're brought up. 1t would be impohiC
FOR the commission to load the charter bill with TOO many radical
features. And the suggestion was wisely made and adopted that
these could be provided in a separate bill so as not to jeopardize
the passage of the charter bill in the Legislature.

Tie Papuan Brave
A Real Protector

"When the natives are young they
almost any kind of work, and sven up
to the time of their marriage they are
willing to learn. After marriage their
ambition and intellectual development
appear 10 cease. One of the reasons
for this seems to be that the woman
foes most OF the work. while the mon-
being the superior animal-can see no
necessity for further exertion," says
the Hon. J. @. Jenkins. speaking OF
Papua and the Papuans. HE plays the
part OF her protector to perfection;
while she digs in the garden he leans
against a tree with his spear in his
hand, apparently prepared to keep of
intruders. but really because It Is
easier than doing the digging" say the
London Globe.
Their wants are small and they gem
orally take no thought for the o
thereof so long as the mi provides
IT. Women are frequently seen carry
ing a miscellaneous collection of food
stufrs such as yams, bananas and
cane in a net bag swung over thear
backs and in many instances a podgy
top of the provisions.
IF the women are accompanied by
their husbands you will find these gal
liant braves dressed In masculine au-
thority, and a native spear slowly lead
ing the way or leisurely following.
vorce courts to settle family disagree
ments among the natives. If q mar
ried nan finds that his wife displeases
him or If she is too frivolous or lazy
or does not cook well or do her garden
work properly he simply turns her
out.
Neither is a woman very perma-
nently tied to her husband, for she can
leave him on her own accord, but If
she marr1es again her second husband
has to pay something to her first hus-
band and his friends. A pig, q wallaby,
some yams or bananas generally settle
the claim.
AT one time no doubt all the natives
practised cannibaiism, but now all the
central n eastern tribes have given
1t up. In the western part 1t is still
practised, and 1t is not safe to visit
some of the native villages there UNI

Life is not valued very highly by the
natives. as a rule, and although they
possess O. certain kind of rough love
and affection for each other, it is rather
OF a transient character"

movement is one that appeals to the
! sentiment and not to the reason.
Look briefly at the nations that drank
and those that did not. The Romans,
the Gauls. Teutons, NormanA Anglo
saxons, Jews, all drank, and they all
amounted to something. The Turks
n Chinese are forbidden by their reli-
gions against drinking ana the result Is
obvious.
I do not mean by this to say that
these nations are what they are be-
cause they do or do not drink, but all
these things must be taken into &C

State to which the league points with

Such things. perhaps more than any
thing else. show that while we in this
country live under a republican, form
of government. we are republicans only
nominally; that the love for splendor
and power as personifed by a king
still forms an important part Of our
makeup and only lies dormant be-
cause it has no opportunity for ex-
preston.
One has only to see the eager, almost
vulgar. curiosity with which we crowd
to see a real live noblenan marry, for
instance, to find that this is true.
No, we are still a long way from
he ideal democracy or republic; a
radical change will have to take place
in ourselves before we can arrive at
that stage. 1t is true. Of course. that
conditions are largely to blame for
many OF our evils, blu we ourselves
will have to reach a proper state Of

more.

THE voT1Nd MACHINE REPEATER AGAIN.

eo HE House OF Assembly, having passed a repeater of the uni
versallyexecrated votngmachine law, it is now again up
TO the Senate to act upon the bill, 1t was in the Senate
that the repeater met defeat by suppression in the last three legis
lRtures In the elections last November the people made 1t plain
to Republican leadership in the Legislature that they are tired of
that kind of legislation. They put the Senate this year on pro-
baton. while electing a Democratic House. The tenure of Repub
tcan control in the Senate Is slight, and the chances of continuing
ii another year are precarious. Fatwitted majority leadership in
the Senate can sacrifice those chances, The people want to get rid
nj the voting machines. Their mandate was expressed in about
three hundred election district maiorides. If the Republican
Senate plays the people false again this year there will surely be no
Republican majority in the Senate of 1912. and the party will get
rid of the men who shall have stupidity compromised it in legis

GIuttony More Harmful Than Drink.
10 the Editor OF the Evening Star;
1t is amusing to see how people can
be led away with an idea I wonder II
there is any evil under the sun that the
Anti Saloon League will not blame TO
the demon drink.
The drink evil. according to them, is
responsible for all the ills the flesh Ia
heir to. Whether the evil be domestic,
social. political OF economic, 1t docs not
make any difference; drink is to blame
Why not be logical? If It is against
mere overindulgence that they are aim

against overindulgence in eating?
Medical authorities hold that more
harm is caused by ~overeating than by
all the other faults combined. Some OF

AN IRISH PARLIAMENT AND EXECUTIVE.

IT'D RIM MINISTER ASQUITH. in the House of Commons yes
le lerday, came out unequivocally in a declaration for home
rule for Ireland. a declaration in every way satisfactory to
the Irish Nationalist. MIR. Asquith said: 1--WE can only arrive at
a satisfactory solution of the problem of the congestion of business
in the House of Commons by creating in Ireland an Irish Parlia-
ment with an Irish executive thereto for dealing with purely Irish
affairs, while the indefeasibIe supremacy of this Parliament must
he maintained Further than this reasonable Irish sentiment
never asked the British government to go. 1t fulfls all that was
demanded by Parnel. An Irish Parliament in Dublin, with an
Irish executive and home rule in all Irish affairs, will realize the
long dream of Irish emancipation and put ireland on a new footing
to begin a new ea of national life.

A MAGAZINE TRUST CONDEMNATION.

SH HE fact is brought out by the opposition of the magazine
owners to the just demand by the postmaster general that
the postofice department shall no longer be compelled to
carry magazines in the mail at a loss of eight cents a pound that
the magazine owners are combined in a trust, which fixes and main
tains prices to the selling agencies and also the prices charged by
the retailers. investigation will probably show that the combina-
zion includes also the rates charged the advertiser. 1t is colossal
lmpudence for a selfish combination, organized to make the public
pay artificial prices, to appeal to the public against the govern
ments efforts to get a decently fair rate for carrying magazines
in the mails, a service that lis now done at an immense annual loss
to the postohdce department.
