in the hands of men honestly striving
to do their duty and do it well, and in
many cases devoting their time and
strength to the public service, where,
if pccuniary reward were the main
consideration, they could be more prof
itably employed elsewhere.
Such expressions coming from men
Of wide experience in public affairs,
and who are themselves above the
breath of criticism, are wholesome
Offset to the foul food of calumny put
forth by irresponsible writer's and
speakers, who seek their own advan-
tage by defaming better men. Any
honest man who has studied conditions
; must agree with Justice Day that the
standard of department and honor
among public men is higher than ever
before. And this Improvement is not
due to the fear of muckrakers, but
rather in spite of their vicious and un-
just attacks.
Gradually the people are beginning
to appreciate the fact that man in
public life is entitled to the rights that
are enjoyed by private citizen. He
is peculiarly liable to be the subject of
calumny, by reason of conspicuous po-
sition and inability to go out in per.
son and chastise his assailants. But
the very fact that he is thus handicap.
ped should be constant reminder to
the public that charges against him
should be received with caution, and
not be believed until they are proved
The man who has stood before the pub
lie for many years, who has worked ur
/ to high position in the face of SHARP
opposition, is hardly likely to invite
instant ruin by committing acts
which at any moment may be exposed
! He is far more likely to take extraor
binary prrcaution in his private and
public life. He must be ready at any
time to open the book of his doings
and justify all his acts.
The public man charged with i'm
proper acts, or worse, ought to have
the right of any other accused person
at least. He is entitled to the presump
ton of innocence. Full justice woulC

LEGAL TECHN1CAL1T1Es.

The following editorial from the
Saturday Evening Post is such we'll
merited: rebuke to the present mode Of
criminal procedure and the fledglings
in the legal profession who see nothing
in the law save these technicalities
that The World reprints it in full:
Last June the American Institute Of
Criminal Law sent two law professors
Dean Lawson, of the University of
Missouri, and Edwin R. Keedy, of the
Northwestern University--to England
for the purpose Of studying judicial
procedure there at first hand. The
professors spent four months attending
sessions Of the criminal courts in Lon
don and on circuit, and have made a
report showing that we are about a
century, behind the country from. which
we took our procedure.
Twenty judges try all. cases of gravcr
crime in England and Wales, beside
many civil cases. One section Of the
report is headed "Defects in the In.
dictment. 1t begins, "This question
which plays such a weighty part in ou1
criminal trials, is Of no Importance now
in England,' because no mere technic,
al defect is considered. Contrast this
with the recent decision of state SUI
prone court by which the conviction OF
man for a revolving crime that is
often avenged by lynch law was sci
aside because the article "the' was
omitted from the Indictment. Com
menting upon that decision, a former
president of the state bar association

school principal South Amboy ex-
GectSpte GET. a salary of s1.AoO a
year. In Perth Amboy the principals
of our nine grammar schools get
far more than that and the high
school principal receives a salary of
over $4,000 a year Practically all
the members of the high school fac
ulty here receive over 500 a month.
ity to be principal of a high school
hat is worthy of the name can eve
be secured for such a price as South
Amboy is offering. And even such
as can be secured will be leaving at
| the first opportunity to better him
self.
1t was not so long ago that South
Amboy was complaining of the fact
that pupils of Old Bridge, Spots
wood and other nearby towns were
coming across the river to this city
to attend high school instead of
! stopping of at South Amboy. AS
long as the latter place is satisfied
with such high school principals as
can be secured for $1,000, the stu
dents are likely to go past South
Amboy for some time to ONE. Ii
our neighbor across the river desires
to keep abreast with the times and
turn out boys and girls with an edu-
| cation that is worth while, 1t will
have to do better than $1,000 a year
for a high school principal.

poCKING GOVERNORS sALARY.

Isn't this docking the governors
salary every time he goes out OF the
state being greatly o~verdone? Is
New Jersey so parsimonious that
every time the governor steps over
the border he must suffer fnan-
cially7 Whoever is at the back of
this childish proceeding at Trenton
is bringing the state into rldicule be-
fore the whole nation.
The governor of this state receiv-
es a salary of $4,000 a year. This
is a little over s27.00 a day, or
counting eight hours a working day,
he receives about $3.50 an hour. If
he is to be locked for the three days
he spent with his family at their
summer home in a neighboring
state, he ian, with Just as much rea-
son, be locked for the few hours
the governor spends in going to New
York or Philadelphia occasionally.
The whole thing is absurd and 1t is
time the state comptroller, If he is
not trying to play a practical joke,
is brought to MS senses. AS for jok-
ing, the time for hat is passed.
New Jersey cannot afford to become
the buffoon for the other states.
To rob the governor of his sal
airy while on his recent tour through
the West is bad enough, but owing
to the peculiar wording of the state
constitution in this respect there
may be some excuse for it. That trip
of the governor did New Jersey a
great deal of good. 1t brought the
state into the limelight. 1t showed
to the people of the whole nation
that this state now has the fore
most executive in the land, & man
of culture, refinement and education,
a leader of the highest order. This
state has become the envy of every
other commonwealth. We are proud
to have our governor travel about
advertising us in this manner 1t
is very small indeed to u his in
come every time he stirs over the
border.
Governor Wilson has done more
for the people of this state in the
few months he has been in office
than other governors have done dur
ing their whole three year term. Let
the practice of docking his salary be
stopped at once before the state is
brought into further disgrace.
