IN

Washington, May 2:-Fresh
from the scene comes an official gov
eminent report on the necktie situa-
ton In England. United States Con-
sui Albert Halstead, stationed at
Birmingham, has been looking into
the matter and he says, as a result
of his observations.
For the past half decade the
broad-ended tie made from the
piece has been the rag in England,
and haberdashera will not look at
anything else. Its vogue is likely to
continue for another year or two,
particularly as 1t is to the interests
of both the manufacturers and deal
ers to keep it going rs long as pos
sible. This type has a maximum
length In England of AZ inches, the
average for such four-in-hands be-
ing SO to 38 inches.
"A good grade of Irish-poplin tu-
bular tie retails at about 50 cents;
the highest quality Irish poplin.
however, which comes in the piece,
when made up retails at about 70
cents. Other styles are priced at go,

forcibly that the Public Service
Corporation is taking advantage OF
the law to rub it in" so to speak.
Law or no law, the Public Service
has certainly broken its contract
with this city and a contract that is
once broken is no good no matter
which side breaks it, so that, under
the circumstances, the Public Ser
vice really has no franchise to use
the streets Of the city,
OF course, 1t would be the height
of folly to stop the cars running,
Thousands Of people who ride back
and forth to work and to do their
shopping, would be Inconvenience.
But the sooner the matter can be
settled in the courts the better, so
that It may be ascertained whether
or not the Public Service can wilful-
ly violate its part OF the contract and
at the same time bind the city to It's
part of the same contract.
In the meantime let the policemen
and fremen pay their fare II the
trolley company insists, BUT LET
THEM KEEP ACCOUNT OF EVERY
CENT THUS PAID so THAT, IN
THE EVENT OF THE COURT DE
GLIDING IN FAVOR OF THE CITY,
AS 1T DOUBTLESS WILL, THE
PUBLIC SERVICE CAN BE
FORCED TO REFUND THE
MONEY.

GOES ON.

The Woodrow Wilson presidential
boom oes marching on. The latest
is an article with editorial comment
in the May number Of Worlds
Work. The editorial says:
THE figure OF Woodrow Wilson
is rapidly taking on national pro
portions. His peculiar strength as
q presidential candidate over and
above his high character and
proven ability lies in the enthusiasm
with which he has s%spoused, and the
force with which he expounds the
new demand for the peoples rule.
"Old-line politicians hardly yet ap-
prsciate the swiftness> with which
that demand has grown In volume
has expanded and spread, sweeping
the various organizations promoting
It there are today enrolled voters
equal to a third of the total vote
cast for President in 190S-so the
ofncers OF these organizations assert.
The popular election of United
States Senators; the direct nomina-
ton for all officials; the elimination
OF bosses through primaries for
party officers and delegates; direct
presidential primaries; the elimins-
ton Of machine management in
Congress; the initiative and theh
referendum; the recall; the short
ballot; commission government for
cities; effective corrupt practive
laws; publicity for campaign &C
counts-demands for these things
are insistently made from almost
every state and city IN the Union.
The legislatures this spring have had
to debate them. Even the tariff
and the trusts were subordinated
to this demand, The people realize
that the first step toward reform is
to get hold of the tools by which to
win reform-to get a direct control
of government.
The leader Of this great move
ment in the Democratic party is the
Governor of New Jersey, a man not
merely fitted to lead his party, but
equipped TO carry out the high re-
sponsibilities of the Presidency, II
his party have the progressive u
age to nominate such a man and to
act wisely enough to elect him"

SELLING OF OPIUM.

Washington, May 2:-President
TAFT may want peace and friendship
with Great Britain, but the 1nterna-
tional Reform Bureau here, is dead
against John Bull because of his
opium selling operations in China.
In q special statement Just issued
by Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent
of the Bureau, Great Britain is Sc
verely censured for her tacit a%cquies-
cence in the importation of Indian
opium into China, while joining the
international crusade against the
drug. Within the past few days, an
international a~nti-opium convention
ol selB59Iep pelU!oddg uINad 10
urge upon the British Government
abrogation of the agreement which
would permit the sale of Indian
opium in China for seven years long
err. The Chinese Government has
prohibited smoking after one year.
I'm 1906" DR.. Crafts declared,
following a resolution Of the Brit
ish Parliament requesting the Gov
eminent to bring the Indo-Chinese
opium trade to q speedy close, the
Chinese Government ordered the
closing of opium dens in six months,
and the gradual suppression of all
poppy raising and use of the drug
during ten years. during which Pc
riod also the British Government
agreed to decrease the export OF
opium to China to the same degree,
If during three years trial China re
duced not less than one-tenth a year.
Instead of reducing three-tenths,
China has now reduced it's W pop
by cultivation and opium trade sew
en-tenths in three years, and has
shown such enthusiasm in the re-
form, in spite of the sale of British
opium all the while, that the new
Chinese Parliament has already de-
creed opium prohibition to take eff
feet in one year, subject to imperial
approval.
The Chinese Government has re-
Gently asked the British Government
to release 1t from the ten years
agreement and also from the opium
treaties, secured by three opium
wars, but the British Government
has persistently refused China's re-
quest. 1t IS strongly supported by
the British people in numerous petit
tons, although India has received
as much revenue In three years as
was expected in ten.

UNIVERSAL PEACE.

President Taft's administration
will be remembered in history as the
beginning Of the era of universal
peace. All the questions such as
tariff, reciprocity, popular election Of
United States senators and the like,
which seem so great to us now, will
be forgotten within a few years, but
If the permanent peace treaty be-
tween the United States and England
goes through as now seems probable,
it will be remembered as long as the
world stands.
Ever since the creation, man has
ruled by the sword. AS we study his
tory We can see the gradual devel-
opment of more civilized warfare I'M
til at the present day it has come to
be abhored as a great necessary evil.
Now we are beginning to eliminate
the word necessary" and, before
another decade passes, We believe,
war viii be considered only as. a
great evil and not necessary at all.
1t IS highly fitting that the two
great English speaking nations
should lead the way toward setting
every dispute, even that affecting So
called national honor, through arbi-
tration. 1t is more fitting still that
the proposal for such an agreement
should come from this great republic.
While Germany with her warlord
emperor, still insists that the time
has not yet come for disarmament,
the people of that country are not
going to be burdened long with the
great military tax when other ma
tons are taking the advanced stand
for peace. France, we believe, will
not be long following England In
making the peace treaty and the
smaller nations will readily fall in
line. The Germans are too enlight-
ened a ace to lag far behind, and
once they are in the peace pact, war
will be abolished.
AS this movement grows the name
Of William Howard Taft will loom
larger AMI larger. He, it was, who
made the first successful move to-
ward universal peace.

SMALL ARMY INCREASE.

Washington, May 2:-Though
some recruiting officers report big
increases in applications for enlist
ment in the army since the begin
ming of the military demonstration
on the Texan border, army officers
predict that the actual increase In
the army will be small.
They case this prediction upon
the small percentage Of applicants
who are accepted from among the
vast number applying. During the
last fiscal year, only fourteen per
cent. of those applying were finally
enlisted in the military service. In
5S main recruiting stations, 94,121
men applied for enlistment, of which
1911 were rejected. Of the 49,
344 accepted at the recruiting sta
tons, 1887 were later rejected at
the recruiting depotti. These fig
ures do not include the vast number,
probably several hundred thousand,
it is estimated, who were rejected
without examination-b the recruit
ing officers at all the stations. These
include men of obvious physical de-
fects. men plainly under or over age,
and others who bear the stamp OF
immortality II trampdom. No record
is kept of these reflections.
1t has been the experience of the
army recruiting officers that applica-
lions for enlistment are increased by
any series of events which bring the
army into prominence, especially If
It seems likely that there will be op-
portunity for field service. The
most extensive increases, however,
appear when volunteers are called
out. Not only r civilians more at
tracted to volunteer organizations
than the regulars, but also, e great
er proportion aref accepted because
the examination of applicants is not
nearly so rigid and searching. The
regular recruit examiners are ex-
perts, trained to detect every imper-
lection in the physique of health OF
applicants.

CONGRESS- AND ADJOURNMENT,

While the Democratic majority in
the House Of Representatives has
mapped out a big program for the
present extra session of congress-, 1t
is declared that the Republican ma
jority in the senate will decline to
take up anything more than the reci-
procity bill for the consideration Of
which the extra session was called.
The plan OF the senate is:
After ~disposing Of the reciprocity
measure, TO notify President
Taft hat the object of the extra
session having been carried out
the senate considers that the work OF
the session is done and it will take
up no other business. A big fght is
promised over the reciprocity bill,
however, and while 1t is likely to
pass, AdNih6 me DdChlhS VI me dQ-
ministration, the Republican major
ity is 50 small in the senate that It is
possible the session cannot be cut as
short as some would like.
AS much as the people desire TO see
some reforms at Washington, we do
not believe there would be much dis
appointment if the elaborate program
which the Democrats in the House
desire to carry out should be left
until the regular session next winter.
Congress has now been IN session al
most continuously since the first Of
December, and while the new con
gressmen may be enjoying their first
experience in official life at Washing
ton, the other senators and represen-
tatiyes are weary and so are the peo-
pie. The hot summer days are at
hand when everybody wants to take

A BROKEN

The Board Of Aldermen has taken
the only wise course in connection
with the present hght with the
Public Service Corporation over~tf@'
matter of free transportation for
policemen and hremen while on
duty. AS Mayor Bollschweiler point
ed out in his letter to the aldermen
last night, if the state a pass a law
multiplying one section Of the fran
chise, 1t can pass laws multiplying the
whole document. This we do not
believe will hold In court. A fran
chise is a contract pure and simple,
in which the municipality grants the
trolley company certain rights in
the city in exchange for certain prlvi-
ieges set forth in the franchise. If,
later, 1t is found that the privileges
granted to the city are null and void,
then the privilege granted by the
city to the corporation is also null
and void. Surely no law a be
made that Will make one side of a
contract useless and at the same
time hold the other side binding.
We do not believe a law can be pass
ed nullifying a contract previously
made. If this were permissible
imagine the chaos that it would
cause every time a legislature chose
to pass a different law. Likewise, of
what good would a franchise be?
Under the same Interpretation Of
this public utility law, the New York
Telephone Company might refuse to
any longer furnish the city with free
telephones in public Offices. If the
law can prohibit the trolley company
giving free rides to public officials
on the ground that it Is a discifmina-
ton, it can, with equal right, pro
hibit the telephone company giving
free phone service on the ground of
discrimination. Suppose the tele-
phone company should take the same
view Of the law as the Public Service
Corporation has done, what would be
the result? Would the telephone
company have the right to deny the
city the free phones, and at the
came time retain It's rights to use the
streets, as if the company was still
giving something in exchange for
the privilege? The Public Service
officials say the law is drastic and
they are likely to be arrested if they
violate it. On the same ground,
then, the telephone officials are like
ly to be arrested if they continue to
give free phones. All this applies
not only to Perth Amboy, but to all
cities and to all public franchises.
The more the matter is considered
the more the confusion Increases.
The fact hat other public utility
corporations do not find it necessary
