Mr.. TAFT's ADJUSTMENT OF WAR.

IT'D RESIDENT TAFT said, with much complacency, at the Chris
I4 tin Endeavor convention on the steel pier at Atlantic
City last night, in portraying the prospects of universal
peace: "The arbitration treaty heretofore with Great Britain and
opher countries has excepted from the causes which may be arbi.
trated those which involved the vital interests of either party or
its honor. The treaty which we are now closing with Great Britain
eliminates those exceptions and provides that all questions of in
ternational concern of a justifable character shall be submitted to
the arbitration of an impartial tribunal" The proposed treaty
with Great Britain is to be the treaty with Germany and France
and Japan and other powers. Once made, these treaties are to
be inviolate. The nations are to submit to arbitration all injuries
and insults of whatever character. Nations are at best only refec-
tions of human nature, and the most absolute of governments are
dominated by the passions of the people, if not by their selfish
interests, which too often find their only satisfaction in war. There
are certain principles and interests, too, that a nation cherishes
that cannot be subjected to the judgment of any third party. In
the case of the United States, how could we submit to a foreign
Judgment the question of the Monroe Doctrine? We have taken
oEr irrevocable stand upon that doctrine, and if it should be VIC
continent or plant a monarchy in Latin America, would this nation
calmly submit the case to arbitration and consent to see the Monroe
Doctrine destroyed? President Taft is obsessed with the amiabe
idea that international treaties can govern the politics of nations
and change human nature, but he contemplates a revolution in the
world vastly greater than any the world has witnessed since time
began.

LOCAL WAR NEWS OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The Newark Daily Advertiser, now
the STAR, on July s. 1851. published
the following:
Colonel Mclean has not yet taken
charge of the Second New Jersey regi-
ment (now encamped at Washington,
and 1t Is understood he will not do so
until it is ordered into Virginia. He
rides out to the camp each day to look
after the welfare of the men, whom he
assures that when n fighting is to
be done he will be found leading them
into the thickest of the fray.
Too much praise cannot be awarded
to the subordinate officers for the eff
cie... way in which they perform their
duties. Captain Charles Tay deserves
especial praise. He has not left his
men since he took charge Of them; has
ridden with them in the most uncom-
Portable cars, and slept with them upon
the bare ground, nobly encouraging
them in the endurance of every hard
ship.

Newspaper writer's of fiction are paid

syndicate is concern that sells n

papers throughout the c~ountry-each
tn a different locality, each appearing
on the same day. To g~eneraiize, these
syndicates will pay about $50 for a
short story of $500 words and $40 for
a 1,o00-word ~story-about a cent a
word. OF course, the syndicate collects
from the thirty or forty newspapers,
it's pay for letting them use it. This
syndicate furnishes illustrations, plates
and proofs Of the story. All that the
paper has to do Is to set 1t up and go
ahead.

A RELUCTANT STATE COMMISSION.

cTa HERE is a rising note of protest against the dietum of the
Public Utility Commission that the commission has no power
over Communication rates and doesn't propose to attempt to
exercise any power. There is even heard the demand that the com.
mission should either act or resign. The Jersey Journal affrms
that the commissions duty is ito take advantage of every doubt
as to powers and jurisdiction and give the benefit of it to the peo.
pe of New Jersey" and that what the Interstate Commerce Com
mission may do in a given case is none of the State boards bust
ness" That is the view taken by commuters generally and by

TRENTON'S JULY ELECTION

N IL petitions of candidates for the commissionerships to be
IN voted on in the coming election in Trenton we're on file at
noon today, and the names of upwards of sixty candidates
will go ON the ticket to be voted. The election will be held a week
from next Tuesday. There are rumors of deals and combinations
to secure control of the commission. Leaders of both political
parties have been seen in confab, and it is even said that the two
organizations will combine their forces to elect certain candidates.
Rumor is always busy in a crisis of this kind, but should there be
any doubt of a strictly popular result in an election so deliberately
prepared for by election laws and under a legislative act pro
nounced to be ideal in it's operation? Nevertheless the election in
Trenton on July Is will te a study in it's results.

THE COUNTY CORONER UNFIT.

IT TITLE wonder that the attorney general found the two coro
IL ners in Atlantic county unfit for the duty of drawing a grand
jury. The kind of men elected in the counties of New Jer-
sy to be coroners is not of the quality for any important public
duty. The coroner is a survival of the old English law and now
adays is something of an anachronism. In the large counties of
the State his powers are so greatly curtailed by statute that he is
seldom heard of, the county physician putting a ban on the I'M
necessary inquests that formerly brought fees to the coroner and
were eagerly sought for. In elections the average voter does not
tce the name of the candidate for coroner and consequently
4ybody, no matter what his repute in the county, can get elected
the office if his party ticket goes through. Probably not 5 per
mt. of the voters of Atlantic county know the names of the two
unity coroners.

might be said that there are as many
different rates of pay as there are au-
thors and publishers.
Let us take, first, the pay of an
author who writes for newspapers and
magazines-or the serial writer, as
we may call him. The word Serial is
here used in a technical sense, to indi-
cate that fiction. short or long. which
appears in a periodical. What does the
magazine man get?
To dispose of the entire subject with
sweep of the arm it might be said
that the ordinarily successful magazine
writer is paid about one cent a word.
This, with a 5.o0o-word story. means
$50.
CO
But on both sides of one cent a word
there are tremendous fluctuations.
Conan Doyle, it is said. has been paid
$1,000 for a single short story-S12,0 900
for twelve short stories. Hornung, 'au-
thor of "Rafhes." I have heard it said,
received $500 apiece for some of his
stories published specially in a maya
zine in the last few years. Ten cents
a word is big pay. but there are a lot
of big men getting 1t. Five cents a
word is not at all unusual. and it
doesn't necessarily take a big maj to
get that now and then. A large pro-
portion of the successful writers are
getting two cents and three cents a
word.
There are secrets of the authors

would be interesting to set forth here
the names of the periodicals which pay
the biggest prices. Often that maya
zine which seems a marvel of exclu-
~siveness and dignity pays the lowest
prices, and the hit-or-miss periodical
often pays the biggest. There is no
way of gauging 1t. Some magazines
with tremendous calculations pay small
prices-sone that you, perhaps never
heard of pay well.
1t is rare for an author to get less
thar one-half q cen a word from a
magazine. It takes a pretty big man TO
get over Ave cents a word.
CO
However, frequently-and quite fire.
quently, too-stories are not old by
the word at all. A magazine will sim

particular author time after time.
whether the story is 5000 words or
1000. Having paid him once a certain
price there seems to be a sort of I'M
Outstanding that that is his price per
story. 1t runs on, until he asks more.
or until they offer more.
Going along in this way 1t is quite
usual that a good story-writer will get
800 apiece for every story he writes
and sometimes $500. This is after he
gets to be known and his work has a
certain value. A beginner may get
that price at once. The chances, how
ever, are against II. The magazine
BUSINESSES a fairly conducted business,
but 1t obeys the rules of the commercial
world. The author gets all he can, the
magazine prefers not to pay more than
1t should. Some magazines voluntarily

suggestions.
There are very low prices, m
times. Some of the small magazines

N AMDEN'S new charter bill, which has hung fire ever since the

sorms. Newark will have a charter bill to introduce in the next

Teach swimming In schools.

sieHcn swimming IN Schools
To the Editor of the Evening Star
In your editorial column the other
night you had an article indorsing
the teaching of swimming to the pu-
pills in our public schools. The large
number of deaths by drowning recently
certainly proves that something should
be done Immediately to prevent these
fearful tragedies. I think that If the
Board of Education would install
swimming tanks in a few schools and
give the pupils a couple OF hours a
week under a competent instructor, in
a short time the boys and girls would
be able to care for themselves In the
water. The expense would not be very
great, and I feel sure the plan would
meet with unanimous approval among
the parents Of the children through.
