THE NEW JERSLl SENHOR"H
The election of Mr.. MARITIME 70 the
Unified states senatorship In New Jer-
sey which some time ago was forecast
in our columns. is regarded by Governor
Wilson and his friends * cause for con
graduation and eyultation. II doubtless
is that. from the personal point OF view.
Or. Wilson has won n great victory over
the most powerful and re>ourceini man
acer whom the Democratic party there
has had at lis head for many years. ana
ia the first fortnight of his admlnsua-
ton has indisputably established his
leadership of the party i'm New Jersey.
From other points of view. however. the
incident may be differently regarded.

New Jersey to have Mr.. Marine III the

bur merely 10 suggest that the doctrines
Of free trade and free silver and others
of the familiar Bryan repertory which
he is understood still 10 cherish are not

mont i'm New Jersey. We must doubt
whether Or. Wilson himself is in accord
with all Of them. or whether he would
himself have chosen Mr.. Martiue for the
scnatoIShip had it not been for the re-
suit of the pcrmissivc primary elections
of last September

will not strengthen the primary system
so much as II will arouse doubts of its
utility. That at least is likely to be the
contention Of the numerous Democrats
who were opposed to Mr. MARITIME ana
who refuse TO consider him as truly

course there will he the ready retort.
which Governor Wilson will know how
to make effectively, that having COM

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
TO WEED OUT THE PENSION ROLL.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have read with much interest what
You have printed OF late relative to the
pension laws and the bill now before Con-
eress 10 further increase the pensions now
paid 10 the veterans Of TIE Civil War.
note that editorially YOU express the opin-
ion that the actual, bona fde veterans are
entitled 10 the gratitude and consideration
of the country in their old age, but you
righteously protest against the laws that
have added thousands Of camp followers.
deserters bummers and dog robbers 10 the
list that should consist only of those who
saw active service. | believe that every
true blue veteran will join heartily In your
condemnation Of pensioners of this sort.
for they hate sncaks now as vigorously as
they hated shirks when tho fight was on.
Rut YOU sometimes leave the inference
that the veterans are responsible for these
additions to the pension list, which Is not
the fact. These laws for the benett OF the
bummers are born of the fertile brains OF
professional claim agents, who lie awake
nights 20 devise legislation that shall bring
new classes OF impostors 10 their nets.
Their legitimate business has fallen away.
and so they cooperate with tho dema-
gogues in Congress to enact bills, public
and private, that will bring more grist TO
their mills. have received bushels of cir
culars from such agents. pointing out how
some new law could be construed TO my
advantagc If | would make a claim and
appoint them my agents TO collect It. the
pension list Is crowded by the names or
men who are more deserving Of the guard
house or military prison than pension.
That It Is so crowded Is due to cOlusion
between the claim agents and tho dema-
gogues in Congress, who seek 10 make po-
litical capital ont of their friendship for
the soldier element" If tho measure now
before Congress can ho SO framed as 10
benefit none but men who Jaw active ser
vice In the field ana vino have no blots
upon their records the "ountry would
scarcely find objection to It.
I believe that much coU.i loo done TO re-
duce the number Of teu-i'ncrS now on the
list by proper inv icajion. There are
hundreds Of able bodied retired army Off
GERS who might be utilized under proper
authority. I'm going over the list, inyesti-
eating each claim aud the record of each
individual pensioner and reporting 10 the
pension department the result OF their in
designations. / am certain that tie Mill
tary order of the Loyal Legion and tie
Grand Army OF the Republic would assist
such investigators as for rs possible. tor
the veterans Of those organizations detest
the pension swindlers as heartily as you do
A hoard Of retired officers appointed FOR
each pension district to revise the lists
would undoubtedly result in wedding out
many undeserving pensioners-male and re-
male-and reducing the pension appropria-
lions by large sums.

II looks as if new high record in ex.
ports would be made I'm the fiscal year
lqi011. The present high rccord-that
for 1906. 'OT-was due to the boom IN
business which eliminated In that, year
aud was checked by the financial dis
furbance Of November and December.

sold abroad in 19O6-'O7 was 81 100000

not at once discourage expectation. for
large quantities Of american foOdSuffs
and raw materials had 10 BE- thrown on
The foreign market TO pay for orr liberal
imports Of gold following the financial

81. $50. COOC0O-a decrease of only $40,

auce on business and production were
seen. however. in the Slackeuing of for
cicn trade i'm the year 19OS-'09. the total
Of American sales abroad for that year

Of our expectations rose TO $i,734OoONU
an increase OF $Sl 100000.

reports that the exports of the calendar

the total for the calendar year 1900. II
The expansion shown in the last half of

tariff. But the facts continue TO upset
their a priori logic The value of our
exports has increased from Sl,23lC
100000 in S97'9S-the year of the pas
sage of the Dingley law--to Sl,S2L-
100000 in the calendar year 1910. II Is
increasing. too in spite Of the fact that
the United states has now a much
smaller surplus of food products 10 send
abroad than il used TO have. But the
shrinkage in expectations in fopdstutis
has been more than overcome by great
expansion in the sales Of manufactured
products. The workings Of that process
are observable in the trade returns for
1909 and 1910 In 1909 the value of food
Stuffs exported was about S4o0.OOO,0o".
In 1910 it was only S345O00,0Oc. But
the value of manufactures exported rose
from S72l 100000 in 1909 To SS25,OOO,VOo
In 1910 our export trade will continue
10 grow despite the pessimism of the
theorists. The American producer is not
shut off from the foreign market ana
will keep on utilizing its opportunities III
larger and larger measure.

WORD TO MR. MITCHEL

Mr.. John Purroy Mitchell is quoted III
the newspapers as saying in regard to
Mayor Gaynors remark that the Inter
borough subway plan would Ice accept
ed with a slight modification that IT was
not only indecent but u distinct breach
of trust" Isn't Mr. NitChels stump
ing Of the city against the Interborough
plan causing him Ia lose all sense oi
proportion? He is within his rights in
holding that an Independent subway
system is TO be preferred 70 extensions
of the present subway. That is knot
~ question and open 10 some dispute
lie may properly attack the manage
ment of the Interborough company rs
sharply rs he likes. Everybody will
agree with him that Il Is deplorably
Shortsighted. But so far as the Mayor
IL concerned. ~ the foremost advocate
Of the IntcrbcrOugh plan, the conlroVer-
~ should be kept above the level of
campaign personalities. To oppose the
InterhoIUugh plan from q belief that II
is against the best interests of the city
is one thing To do that is Mr.. Mitch
els official duty. if such is bis belief.
But 10 Join in opposition the chief mo-
tive of which is to discredit the Mayor
is quite another thing. Associates of the
Mayor in the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment bad better leave that TO
some one else.
Much Of the success Of the present
city administration hitherto has been
due 10 the cordial relations and perfect
cooperation that have existed in the
Board Of Estimate and AppOrtonment
1t would he q, matter Of regret if they
should be disturbed by this dispute over
subway plans. The administration has
three years To run and will have much
to do after the subway question has
been finally settled GentlPmanly self
restraint will not weaken the influence
Of Mr.. Mitchell and those associated
with him now, and il will contribute TO
the boards capacity for usefulness in
the future.
