Aunt Molly Road Dead.

The City Commission rescinded a
resolution passed by that body June
10, endorsing the proposed Aunt Mol
ly" new road route from Hopewell to
Princeton. OF the several routes pro-
posed for the new highway the COM
mission, in the resolution adopted last
month, favored the Aunt Molly" pro-
position, it being pointed out as the
cheapest. The resolution offered by
Mayor Donnelly at the melting rescind-
ing the action of the commissioners
was passed without opposition. A
copy of the resolution was forwarded
to the Board of Freeholders to be
read at a session of that be dy, when,
it is understood, the former resolu-
ton adopted by the city fathers will
also be read. At the time of the adop-
ton Of the resolution ~favoring the
Aunt Molly" Road route it was con-
tended that it was the less expensive
proposition, but it has since developed
that it would require the building Of
at least three bridges and mean that
several depressions would have to be
filled in, and that in some places a
creek along the route was higher than
the proposed roadbed. Commissioner
Fell said he would favor no particular
route until he had seen a profile and
was acquainted with the cost of the
proposition. Other commissioners
were of the same opinion. The build
ing of the proposed new road would
saddle upon the city a large expense.
and il is understood that the State
Road Commissioner will not approve
the building of any new roads this
year. A copy of the resolution was
forwarded to the State Road Commits,
siOner.

Foes in the Household.

It might be well if Christians were
TO take to heart what Rev. Stephen
S. Wise said the other day to the
members of the Free Synagogue OF
New York, of which he is rabbi: The
dignity of Jewish life is less married
by baseless attack from without
than by ceaseless self-conscious bah
Bile within. We are in no little danger
today of paying more attention to
what others are saying against US
than to what we are doing for our
selves. The wrong done to US is u.s.
ually durable and may be borne with
out permanent hurt to u souls. The
only ~irreparable wrong which can be
done to Israel is done by Israel"
That is as true of Christians as OF
Jews. The church can never sue
coed while it thinks lightly of its own
mission in the world where its head
has placed it.-CongregationalIst.

The sixth term of the Cape May
School of Agriculture, Industrial Art
and Science will close with exercises
incidental to the distribution Of certi-
ficates the most successful season in
the history of this school. Since its
founding by Thomas D. Sensor, 1t has
grown to be of great value to the
teachers of the State and to the
Of industrial education. Within the
past few days the school, which is To-
Gated in the building Of the Cape May

was it their summer home, but it was
made the opportunity for taking prac-
teal lessons in the domestic science
and household economy course. This
cottage was presided over by Miss
Irene Elizabeth McDermott, director
of the Home Economics Course. Her
assistant was Miss Mary yelling of

JUDGE RESIGNS:
NOT IMPEACHED
BY Agreement Hanford With
draws Under Fire.
INQUIRY Is FORMALLY ENDED
Resignation Comes as Surprise to His
Attorneys and House Members Inves-
tigatlng Charges Against Judge Who
Refused Citizenship to Socialist.

Seattle, Wash.-After twenty-five
years on the Federal bench, Cornelius
H. Hanford, who was the first judge
appointed when Washington was adj
mitted to Statehood, resigned by tele-
graph to President Taft as District
Judge for Western Washington. His
action was taken while the last wit
nesses were waiting to testify before
the special Congressional committee
which has been here for a month in
vestigating the charges Of misconduct
filed against him.
AS a result of his resignation the
Congressional committee which has
been inquiring into the Judges alleged
corporate connections and dealings
with prominent attorneys were order
ed by telegraph by Chairman Clayton
of the Judiciary Committee to take no
more testimony and return to Wash
ington at once.
Reports are current that some Seat
tie attorneys and railroad interests
were largely responsible for inducing
Hanford to retire, and that the threat
ened revelations by a newspaper edi-
tor of facts not favorable to Hanford
were an accelerating factor.
The members of the House commit
tee assembled at an early hour pre-
pared to continue the hearing, but
were not called to order. Soon the
committee and Hanford's counsel adj
journed to an ante-room. There a pro-
posal that the Judge resign and the
hearing be discontinued was submit
ted by Judge Hanford's attorneys and
was accepted by the committee. Judge
Hanford promptly wired his resigna-
ton, going in person to the telegraph
office with the message. At the same
time Chairman Graham of the sub
committee telegraphed to Chairman
Clayton recommending that the hear
ings be discontinued.
Public attention was first drawn to
Judge Hanford by an order he issued
on May 10 depriving Leonard Oleson
Of Tacoma of his citizenship papers
two years after they had been granted
to him. His own explanation of his
action was that "Oleson admitted
that he was a Socialist, a frequenter of
assemblages of Socialists in which he
participated as a speaker, advocating
propaganda for radical changes in this
country"

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-The State Utility Com
mission decided to discuss the subject
of drinking cups on railroad trains.
Thousands of thirsty travellers will be
glad to know they have some prospect
of relief. When the Legislature got
v~irtuous a couple of years ago and en-
acted a law against public drinking
cups, it was promptly construed as
forbidding the use of cups or glasses
On railroad passenger trains. The
railroads removed the cups from the
cars, and also from their stations, and
the public went thirsty. After a time,
some of the companies introduced the
"cup-in-the-slot" machine in the sta
tons, but on the trains the passengers
had to furnish their own cups. The
Utility Commission received numer-
Gus complaints of the annoyance aus
ed by the regulation under the new
law, and after due consideration is
sued an order that the railroads
should provide cups for passengers un-
der proper health regulations. The
order was not obeyed. 1t had a pro-
viso that where water was furnished,
cups should be provided, and straight
way some companies stopped provid-
ing water. This might have been reg
ulated, but the Erie and Lackawanna
Railroads took the whole matter into
the courts. The case was argued last
February, but no decision was made
and the June term of the court met
and adjourned, with still no decision.
Meanwhile complaints have grown
louder and stronger. Parents with
children find themselves in trouble
with a whole carful of men and wo-
men, because the youngsters want a
drink, and a not get it. They do not
know that the Supreme Court has had
their case under consideration and
will not decide it. Judges all travel
on passes and their children are never
thirsty. The State Utility Commits
sion will try to remedy the matter
somehow. 1t may issue an order re-
quiring specifically that every railroad
shall provide pure drinking water for
every passenger, upon demand, and
that employes-the brakemen-shall
furnish a clean and sanitary drinking
cup upon demand. 1t is asserted that
this can be done with little trouble,
and that it would really be kind to the
brakemen, who have nothing to do be-
tween stations. The paper drinking
cups cost next to nothing, at whole
sale rates. Why the railroads should
object to supplying a reasonable con-
venience of this kind to passengers,
nobody knows. The Utility Commits
sion has been unable to discover the
couse. 1t has been suggested that the
reason was that the companies want
ed to make all public regulations for
health purposes unpopular.

The Commuters RIGHTS.

The courts of this State have decid-
ed that the railroad companies shall
hereafter make rates between cities
OF the interior to Jersey City and
Camden, Independent of the rates to
New York city and Philadelphia.
There has been the same charge for
passengers heretofore. Of late, many
passengers have used the tunnels,
paying extra, and complaint has been
general. A large number of persons
resident in Jersey City, or doing bust
ness therein, have also suffered, since
they paid New York fares, yet when
they went to New York city from Jer-
sey City had to pay ferriage, the same
condition prevailing in Camden. Of
course this decision is the practical
result of the tunnel construction. The
railroads raised fares and reduced
cost of ferries at the same time, and
the public was bound to get even. A
corporation exaction usually results
about this way, precisely as an unrea-
sonable public tax usually is followed
by an increase in charges. Eventual
ly, a balance is struck, and commuters
look for something of the kind in this
case. And also in regard to some 9TH
er grievances.

teen life guards were dropped from

there were no funds available for their
employment, but chiefly because none
Of them was needed, or rendering SER

The Noise Nuisance.

The noises by automobiles, by rail-
road trains, by unseemly outbursts of
frivolity, by factory whistles, by
church bells, by trolley cars, by
crowds grow more serious as sum-
mer advances, and the ~offenses can
not be shut out by closing windows,
except at cost of %suffocation. The
question should not be one of police
regulation if it can be avoided. 1t is
a duty between man and man, and
that should be enough. A noise which
causes suffering to others will be
avoided by a man or a corporation,
law or no law, provided he has a dec
ent respect for his fe~llow-beings. If
he hasn't, a club is his proper portion.
