Those in charge recognize the neces-

young men and women and intend to
supply such. They have opened a large
dance hall with dancing floor I37 by

There are cloak and retiring rooms

MINISTER SPENDS
NIGHT IN JAIL
Pastor of Paterson On. J.) Church
Seeks First-hand Information
for Sunday Sermon.

Paterson. n. J.. Oct T.-The members
OF the Cedar Clin Methodist Episcopal
Church. Halodon. learned with astonish-
ment tonight that their pastor. the Rev.
Warren p. Coon. had spent a night in
the Passaic County Jail. at Paterson. In
order to obtain material for his sermon
THE Man Behind the Bars" The church
people were thrilled with the talk of their
pastor as he related his incidents while
mingling with the "jail-birds."
II went to the JAIL said the preacher
in his sermon. 'in order to get a psy-

tossing restless on my cot in the cell.
Several times I had the sensation Of q

peated the performance and on the third
visit he asked me:
Where did you como from? How
long have you to stay, old pal?'

Political Heredity.

As election day draws near the voter
who has the right of casting a ballo,
for whatever party he wishes or for
the candidate of any party who ap-
peals most strongly to him he some
times finds himself in a quandary
This question confronts him: Fo,
what party shall I vote? What candi-
, date for President, Governor, and the
rest is most worthy of the approximate
millionth of support which
! am able to give?
1t may be no exaggeration to say
that questions of this nature present
themselves to only comparatively few.
Most of us, perhaps, are supporters
of Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Taft, because
our fathers were Democrats or Repub-
licans; or we are pledged for Mr..
Roosevelt because our fathers were or
are his admirers. In other words,
with many of us, politics are an heredity
thing. We have inherited from the pa
ternal stock our political ideas and
ideals, as well as our physical fea-
lures and moral tendencies To the
minds of most voters there is no ques-
tion, since the superlative degree of ex-
cellence is to be found in the Demo-
cratic party only, in the Republican
party only, or in the Bull Moose party
alone
But there is another type of voter
who throws 10 the winds political
heredity; the thinking man who votes
according to his own convictions. He
it is who experiences difficulties in
forming political ideas which are born
of thought and reflection. He listens
to the heralds of Democracy or Re
publicanism disputing as to the issues
of the campaign until he is at loss to
know whether it is the tariff, the trusts,
or the high cost of living which is the
vital issue. He hears Rooseveltian ad-
mirers denouncing Republican stand
patism and Democratic progress. Is
it any wonder that he is in quandary!
In presence of such difficulties what
is he to do? Some one has said: 'If
you want a thing done do it yourself" "
He accepts this principle He must do
his own thinking.
The voter who casts ballot accord
ing to his studied convictions may
lend his support to the party least
beneficial to the country; he may help
to elect the candidate least worthy of
his support He may unconsciously op-
pose his own best interests, but he can
give you a reason for his political be-
lief He is a free man.

Mr.. Taft and Naval Secrets.

The United States government, we
were made to believe, has had no mill
tary secrets which were to be kept in
violate. Strangers could visit fortihca-
tions, factories. and other military es-
tablishments at pleasure, as it seems to
have been taken for granted that none
of the nations would want to attack US
1t appears now, however, that our na-
ton has military secrets which are to
be kept from the knowledge of stran-
gers, because President Taft last week
issued an executive order prohibiting
foreign vessels from entering, without
permission from the Navy Department,
the following ports: Tortugas, Fla.
Grail Harbor. Culebra; Guantanamo,
Cuba; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Guam
and Subig Bag. Philippine Islands.
These ports are our naval bases.
The order declared that they were not
supports of entry and should not be
made such. 1t closes the harbors to
commercial and privately owned YES
sells of foreign register, as well as to
the warships of foreign powers. unless
the Secretary of the Navy sanctions
their entry.
Most of the. ports practically have
been closed for some time, but this
order formally and officially closes
them. 1t is said that there was no
particular reason for the Presidents
action, except a general policy of guard
ing secrets. The Treasury Department
has notified all collectors of customs
that importations are not to be re-
ceived at these ports.
Nations are governed in their for
eign relation strictly by a policy of
self-interest. The friend of to-day may
be the enemy of tomorrow, and it al
ways has been foolish for us to let the
particulars of our military and naval
condition become known to other ma
tons, who may use it to their benefit
and our injury. For this reason Euro
pean nations never cease their vigi-
lance in the face of a Systematically
carried on spy system.

cause the performance Of their duties
would carry most Of them hundreds
of miles away from their homes, fam
lilies, and private concerns
The whole idea is absurd unless =
community of interest can be proved.
Can it! Quite the contrary Is the
fact. as is evident to every observer.
Demerara and perhaps one or two
other colonies have made up their
mind. that they want federation They
are convinced that they would prosper
greatly, once preferential tariff rela-
tions with the mother country are
established But they forget that the
United States government thereby
would be forced to retaliate, and, as .
result Jamaica, Dominica, and others
of the West Indian Isles, dependent
upon the American markets, world be
ruined.
We fully subscribe to the prophecy
made by Brooks Adams years ago:
"Under present economic conditions
the West Indian archipelago, neglected
and unproductive. owing to prohibitory
tariff, either will have to be absorbed
by the United States to be modernized
and again made productive, or it will
relapse once more into its former bar
barism."

SUPREME COURT
DECISIONS TO-DAY
It Is Expected Opinion May b

When the United States Supreme
Court meets at noon to-day q number
of important opinions are likely to be
handed down. The administration 10

last term and which have been under
advisement ever since.
Two other decisions OF transcendant
Importance that may come down ars
the Pacific railroads merger case and
the States rates cases All OF these
cases were submitted to the highest
court at the last term. The decision
in the rate cases is expected to settle
the long-standing controversy growing
out of the conflict between Federal and
State authorities in the regulation of
interstate carriers wholly within State
lines
In the merger case the issue turns
largely on the question whether tho
Union Pacific Railroad and the Southern
Pacific. which were merged by the late
E. II. Hartman, were competing lines.
Unusual Importance Is attached to tho
anthracite cases, and there has been
more or less misunderstanding In regard
to their real import. The issue -
raised on cross appeals from the juds-
ment Of the Circuit Court OF the East
ern District OF Pennsylvania. The suit
was begun by the government under the
Sherman law against the Philadelphia

but az to five other specific charges In tho

missed. Both sides appealed. The case
was argued in the Supreme Court year
ago. In the Circuit Court the govern
ments contention was sustained only al
to the general combination to restrain

but as to some Of the defendants named
who were alleged to have entered into
smaller combinations which contributed
to the greater monopoly the court denied
the injunctions.

A West Indian Federation.

The project of a West Indian fed
Grafton of British colonies, with an
''interinsular' Parliament and a Gov
ernor General appointed by the King,
seems to command large amount of
space in London papers. But among
the West Indian islanders the idea
hardly excites any interest, and there
is good reason why.
There was time when it was right
ly said (by Froude?) that the West
Indies grew sugar, but few men At
present they do not even grow sugar !
How. then, should England be ex-
pected to be interested in their unprof-
liable affairs? Now and then there is
colonial secretary like Chamberlain
with enough patriotism to be honestly
concerned in the welfare of the out
posts of the British empire, to which
in the days of their strength they rem
dered loyal service. ~
The federation scheme thus has no
practical purpose. 1t is an absurd
dream of imperialistic faddists; of
West Indians now living in London
and completely out of touch with their
native land. The project (on paper)
is union, stretching from Demerara
on the southeast to Honduras on the
northwest, embracing integral parts Of
two continents and a number of is
lands in the Caribbean and nearby
seas. The best that those Who urge
it can say is that it would be "eco-
nomical."
Well, economy in government is a
desirable thing. though not the sole
object; but it cannot be advanced in
favor of this federation scheme. The
Governor General would have to be
well paid. Naturally he would have
to live in a manner betting his sta
tion, and would have to take costly
journeys through the island group
The resident Lieutenant Governor IN
