HEADING OFF THE GOVERNOR.

m N incautious remark by one of the Governors close adherentS
TA last summer that it would be advantageous for the Governor
to have a Republican Legislature on his hands next winter
as 1T would enable him better to make political capital, was evi
IDENTIFY taken to heart by the Republican leaders. It set them to
thinking, and as a result they have adopted a line of action for the
incoming Legislature. The legislation to be enacted is to be strictly
Republican and exclusively for Republican party credit. To insure
that end bills covering all the points in the Republican State plat
form are to be drafted at once and given out for publication ten days
in advance of the Governors annual message. The bills are to be
railroaded through and at an early date there will be a temporary
adjournment or recess. If bills desired by the majority IRE vetoed
they can be repassed and the Legislature will thereupon adjourn.
These are defensive political tactics, but the program does not in
vite individual criticism. 1t is an excellent innovation to acquaint
the people ten days before a legislative session with the details of
contemplated important legislation. 1t is another good innovation
to have the bills promptly reported and acted upon. ant. the interval
allowed the executive to pass upon bills so that the Legislature may
act upon possible vetoes does away with the old abuse of dumping
hundreds of bills upon the Governor at the final adjournment, thus
abdicating the legislative duty and responsibility. The program
announced has been carefully studied out and adroitly arranged. y

Right Of Women to Vote.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Much has been said and printed re-
speeding the right of female suffrage
but, while. the constitution of New Jer-
sey, article IL, paragraph l, says,
every male citizen of the United
States of the age of q years who has
peer a resident of this State n year
and in the county in which he claims
his vote five months next before the
election" etc, the Federal constitution,
fourteenth amendment, section l, says,
"all persons born or ~naturalized in the
United States and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United States and of the
State wherein they reside. No State
shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immuni-
ties of citizens of the United States"
etc. q
In addition to this we find that the
fifteenth amendment, section l, reads,
the right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied OF
abridged by the United States or by
any State" etc.
Thus it is plain that the words male
citizen was Intentionally left out OF
the Federal constitution, else it would
not be "all persons" etc, and as these
amendments had to be ratified by wo-
thirds of the States of the Union, which
was declared to have been done legally,
why should the New Jersey constitu-
ton not have been made to comply
with that of the United States, when
the word white" was stricken out at
the time our constitution was amended
by leaving Out the word male" also.
| must be unable to comprehend the
meaning of the English language, if a
woman is not a person, and 1 am frank
to confess that before carefully reading
the Federal constitution l was not in
sympathy with "votes for women" but
l cannot helm being convinced of my
! error, and l firmly believe the riglnt OF
the female citizen to vote is vouchsafed
them by the national constitution, just
as much as it is to the male.

That Pension Request.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A phase of the wilson Carnegie Pen
sion Fund discussion, which seems to
utter absence of idealism that prompt
ed Wilson to make application to a
private fund for political insurance. I
may be mistaken, but 1 doubt that any
self-respecting man would receive
charity" (what else is IT'D from a
private source.
cannot quite understand Wilson.
That he is a great scholar cannot be
denied, and that some of his reform
measures show that he is progressive
Is also true; but his reprehensible
s%elfshness, his everlasting thought of
~furthering his own ambition, and his
anxiety to get in solid" everywhere,
prove to me at least, that he is a
small. petty, political climber, who is
not the master of his own acts, and
who will sacrifice any principle and
any ideal to attain his own ends.
A pension from Carnegie is charity.
A pension from the government is not.
But did Wilson deserve a pension? Did
he grow inirm and old in the profess
sion he chose for his life work OIL. did
he give up to make more money?
What he should have done Is taken
out a policy in Lloyd's London. They
gamble on anything. And, after all,
that is just what Wilson did when he
gave up a real good job in Princeton
for an imaginary Washington job. He
just gambled that even If he did moi
get it he would be supported by the
Carnegie pension fund anyway.
A man of the highest ideals would
not accept a pension from a private
fund.

FEDERAL AID FOR DOCK DEVELOPMENTS.

T Newark can procure in the river and harbor bill at this session
of Congress an appropriation for dredging a thrty1fye-foot
channel in Newark bay for the approach to the proposed dock
and meadow canal system we may be well satisfied to do the rest of
the work to carry out the greatest public Improvement ever devised
for Newark. The war department engineers, after an examination of
the bay and waterfront, have unqualifedly approved the proposition
for an appropriation and the chairman of the ways and means com.
mittee is favorable. The fact that our city has prepared to make d
large investment in dock and canal development and that federal
aid will only be contributory favorably impresses the leaders in
Congress. 1t is also recognized that the benefits of the enterprise
will not be merely local. Large commercial interests on tie Atlantic
coast will be advantaged and the benefits will also be shared by
the railroad systems. New York bay will be relieved Of its con
geston and Newark bay will be the terminal of the great Atlantic
coast waterway to be constructed by the federal government, the
most important link of which will stretch across New Jersey. e ~

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Making good his statement that he
would made 1t possible to build a con-
crete house for 81, 900, Thomas A. Edi-
son further declared that soon he would
put on the market concrete furniture.
Hereafter, instead of spending from
$500 to $500 in furnishing a home,
newlyweds can invest about 5000 in the
new concrete furniture and their home
will rival those furnished with the best

OUR ARMY AND NAVY UNPPEPARED.

MNUR eountrys unpreparedness for war is clearly shown in the
W reports by the war and navy secretaries and by the state
ments of the principal military and naval officers. Our
mobile army is no bigger than it was in 1876, when the population
was only onehalf what it now is. 1t is scattered all over the land
in small detachments, garrisoning useless posts against Indians
who have ceased to exist, and our expensive seacoast defcnses are
manned by no more men than are sufficient to keep the guns and
enlplacements from rust. Our army is deficient in field artillery
and ammunition. We possess a goodly array of batteships, but
there is a dangerous lack of the smaller auxiliary craft that are in
dispensable to them. We need Golfers for cOaling the ships. Our
maynard system is kept up for the benefit of their localities and
by political influence and we are wofully deficient in facilities in
that respect. What is Congress going to do about it?

PARCELS POST HERE AND THERE.

0Ta HE difference between the parcels post system IL Europe and
II America in cost and convenience is strikinglv shown in fig
ures compiled by the House committee on pnstonices. In
the United Kingdom a parcel weighing eleven pounds is carried re
tween any two points in the kingdom at a cost of t twenty-five cents.
In Germany and Austria the cost for such a parcel is twelve cents
and there is an even smaller rate in Bavaria. In the United States
the rate is sixteen cents a pound and parcels carried caunot weigh
more than four pounds. The American rate for eleven pounds would
be $1.16, against twenty-five cents in England and twelve cents in
Germany, In European countries, too, the parcels post carries but
ter, eggs and other pershabe products which the American mail
excludes. And yet there are men in Congress as well rs in the gov
ernment> who, speaking for express company interests, have thu
cheek to oppose the institution of a parcels post system for the
American people and say it wouldn't be good for them and wouldn't
pay

NEED OF Army REORGANIZATION.

n VOLUNTEER reserve force of men in civil life, composed of
Tn those who have served terms of enlistment in the regular
army and are liable to be called to the colors in case of need,
is the mark set by Secretary of War Stimson in his annual report.
This is probably the most important of the recommendations. He
would shorten the term of enlistment with this end in view. He
finds the great number of scattered army posts a detriment and
a needless expense, and would concentrate the units in the interest
both OF efficiency and economy. 1t is gratifying to note that de
sertions are decreasing and that medical science practically elmi
mated from the recent maneuver camps in Texas the typhoid fever,
which was so dire a seourge in Virginia and Florida camps during
the Spanish war.

LEUsLATURt's HAND IN PRESIDENTIAL GAME.

m FTER the Republican Legislature in 1894 temporarily ad
I7A journed after placing a number of important bills in the
hands of Governor Werts that the Legislature intended to
repass if they should be vetoed, the session was not resumed until
October. BY temporary adjournment the Legislature can abide
political exigences and reconyene at any time. 1t may be an object
with the leaders to prolong the interIegnum and keep up u mastery
inactivity until the fall, as the Legislature in 1894 did. In the game
of presidential politics more than one hand can be nlaIed.
