N FTER every calamity on sea and land of a nature to be
4 Il preyentable there is IN cutlery of horror that such things
were not foreseen and provided for and prevented. In the
case of the Titanic the indictment is the apparent lack of prudence
IN navigating a region of the ocean known to be infested at this
season with enormous masses of arctic ice, the lack of lifeboats on
a steamer carrying 235s souls and the false assurances given to tho
public that the vessel was absolutely unsuitable. The Titanic,
pelng on her maiden voyage, was making record time. That was
Tor the benefit and for the glory of the White Star Line. The
officers were acting under instructions. Therefore. instead of care.
fuly picking a way through the ice fields, the steamer was driven at
top speed. Chances were taken and, unfortunately, they failed and
human life paid the heavy penalty. Boats there were few. and in
that respect our navigation laws were violated. Our government
has the right TO protect American passengers on all ships that ply
between American and European ports. But our government has
failed IN that protection. In no case has it compelled foreign ship.
owners to adequately equip their steamers with Iifeboats; other.
wise the Titanic would have had enough for the salvation of all
hands. And those who shall now go down TO the sea in ships know
definitely and positively that these ships are not unsuitable.

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED.

0Ta BE final adjournment of the Legislature, with the Governor
Il absent on a campaigning trip, ends a situation at Trenton
that approached resemblance 10 a comedy of crosspurposes.
Both the Governor and the Legislature were pledged by their re-
spective party platforms to certain important policies and neither
respected their platforms. Preoccupied with a personal campaign.
out OF the State, the Governor appeared at Trenton only for short
intervals and necessarily the attention paid to legislative matters
was only perfunctory. The legislative majority also had it's politi.
cal axes to grind and much of it's time was devoted TO the grinding

Legislature TO quit. Whether it accomplished anv good for the
Republican party by its record is more than doubtful.

FoRTUNATELY, Newark will be enabled to go O. with its
Il plans for meadow and harbor improvement. which were
threatened by the veto of the Governor of the bill for an
additional appropriation of $1,0O0O00. When the voters of this
city authorized this great improvement nobody was simple enough
I'd believe that it could be carried out with the initial appropria.
ton. The ultimate outlay would probably quadruple that figure.
which is less than the cost of building the city hall. The appropri
alton now authorized by the Legislature over the veto of the Gov
ernor was contemplated in the referendum three years ago and
sanctioned by it. When the improvement was authorized if was
impossible TO set the limit of cost and there was no limit. With
the action of the Legislature the city is now in a position to ACQUIRE
the whole meadow tract and get complete command of it's develop
ment. All the unearned increment to be derived from harbor de.
Felopment will go to the city and at the same time a consistent and
uniform plan can be pursued to produce the best possible results,
both for the citys manufacturing and commercial interests.

q Even Democrats in the Assembly voted with the Republicans
to override the veto of the Governor of the fftyyear fran.
chise bill. The purpose of this bill is to permit the con.
struction of a tunnel under the Delaware river between Camden
and Philadelphia for the benefit of the towns and villages south
of Trenton. 1t is believed that with electric traction under the
Delaware many thousands of Philadelphia families will move into
New Jersey to establish homes. The effect will be. to double the
population of the city of Camden in a single decade. The bill is
now a law and the Delaware river tunnel will be built. Seven
Democratic assemblymen will have helped to build it.

EXTRAYAdANcE AND MARKET PRICES.

MNAF all the mob of amateur economists who write with ease
w about the high cost of living the most absurd sophists are
those who attribute it to. extravaganza" We are told
that people of moderate means "ape the rich and consequently
have to pay more for the necessaries of life. Was there ever such
inconsequential reasoning? Look at the markets quotations. What
has individual extravaganza got to do with the prices charged for
meat and potatoes and butter and eggs? Are people extravaeant
in potatoes? DO they try to see if they can eat as much butter on
their bread as the households of mflionares do? Many people may
have extrayagant habits, but this has nothing to do with the
common things of the table, and lit is in these that the pinch of high
priees is felt

nothing to the description of the scenes that we're witnessed on
the decks of the doomed ship on that fatal night and tbe anguish
and terror of the women and children survivors in open boats in
midocean after seeing the great hulk of the Titanic plunge beneath
the waters and disappear with its crowds of unhappy prisoners. II
may be asked, too, how an experience calculated to appal tbe mind
OF the strongest men affected women and children physically and
mentally. Will it not have wrecked the reason of some and fatally
impaired the health of others? 1t is not unlikely that deaths have
occurred among the rescued ones.
