suggestion. About Morras CANAL.

Suggestions About Morris Canal.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The discovery, detailed in the recent
canal can be economically electrified
by power generated from it's own flow,
and so. in friendly hands, could be-
come a very valuable part Of New Jer-
sey's transportation service. has made
1t all the greater pleasure to read your
leading article fJanuary 31), stating
that the M ~lessees have grossly
violated the obligations Of the canal
charter and that. as Cortlandt Parker
declared several years ago, the charter
is forfeitable. The Legislature at this
session can direct the attorney-general
to begin proceedings at once for for
fixture of the canal charter for sys-
tematic and long-continued violation
and for deliberate destruction of the
canal property, the evidences of which
commission could gather enough in
three months to convince any court in
the United States"
Dc you not think it logically follows
that it would be wise for the Legisla-
ture to begin now by authorizing an
investigation commission of absolutely
ee-from-corporation-influence experts
to find what is not adequately known
and report at the beginning of next
session the truth about the Morris
canal?

A BAN on LIABILITY INSURANCE.

NAN HETHER it is public policy to permit liability insurance
WV companies to write policies for automobile owners, drug
gists, doctors and others, indemnifying them against
liability for damages for injuries for which they may be held re-
sponsible, is a question brought up by the Missouri insurance SUI
perintendent, who has issued an order prohibiting all such policies.
The ground he takes is that the insurance against damages invites
careessness and recklessness. But on the same ground the order
might be extended by the insurance superintendent to employers
of labor generally. 1t may be reasoned that if the insured auto
mobile owner or doctor or druggist may not care because he carries
an insurance the premium for which be has to pay, anyhow, why
should the factory owner and other labor employer exhibit any
greater care? But the policy of insurance does not indemnify for
criminal penalties, and that fact should be taken into account.

TAFT AND THE SOCIALIST VOTE.

IT N 1910 the Socialist vote in the United States was 100000. Mr..
Taft had been in office for two years. In 1904 the vote was
426y376, but the total vote that year was much larger, the
election being for President. In 1905, after about seven years of
Roosevelt, the Socialist vote was 420,793. Last year, on a greatly
reduced total vote, the Socialists poled more than 70O,OOO votes.
They claim Il million. For the first time in our political history
Socialist candidates for Legislatures, State and municipal boards
and mayor were elected. A number of large cities pol1ed Socialist
pluraities. This was after three years of Taft. 1t is not without
good reason that Socialist politicians want to see Taft renomi
mated. If the Chicago convention can be controlled for Taft by
the influences that are fighting SO desperately to make him the
candidate it will mean a Socialist vote in the United States COM
parable to that which has s greatly disturbed the rulers Of
Germany.

MURDEREPs WHO FEAR TO TESTIFY.

Hs1 HIEF JUSTICE GUMMERES charge to the jury in the trial
" of MacFarland for murder is commented upon by a New
York lawyer in the Evening Post. He quotes the CHIEF
Justice as saying: at is for you, the jury, to determine the signif-
canoe of the defendants not going on the stand" and adverts to
the fact that in the courts of New York and other States the judge
charges the jury that they must not draw differences of guilt be-
cause the defendant refuses to testify. The New York lawyer
strongly approves the Gummere charge and says: This charge OF
the chief justice of New Jersey gives us at least a ray of hope for
the reform of our barbarous criminal law To the ordinary mind
the refusal of a criminal to go on the stand to testify in his own
behalf is a presumption of guilt. The only possible motive he can
have is the fear of compromising his defense. An innocent man is
eager to testify. He wants to tell his story. He wants to be
heard. A man conscious of guilt breads to face the prosecuting
attorney i'll the witnessbox. However well prepared he is in his
defense, he fears that he will convict himself by his testimony.
Justice Gummere stated the New Jersey law, and yet New Jersey
criminal law is as barbarous in other respects as the New York
law, and as loudly calls for reform.

c ABOUT II EXpREss coMPANIEs.

oa HE revelations that are being made in the investigation of
express companies affairs by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission are startling. They show that the public has not
only been oppressiyely overcharged by the express monopoly, but
also actually robbed, and that the companies have profted by many
thousands of dollars by their dishonesty. The investigation proves
the existence of a combine of the express companies and the rail
roads, the two interests having close stock relations. This ex-
plains one source of the great influence that the express companies
have always welded at Washington, and even within the sacred
precincts of the White House. The laws of Congress have been
framed to favor this cormorant interest. If the operations of the
postofice in the past had been directly regulated by the express
and railroad companies they could not have given more advantages
to the twin interests or been of less benefit to the people. The
nation has witnessed a big postofice deficit year after year only to
enrich the railroad, the express company and the magazine pub.
Usher. Now that the eyes of the people are opened to the truth,
what is Congress going to do about it? And what about a parcels
post? Not the limited and farcical experiment that Mr.. Taft has
been driven to suggest, but a genuine one for all the people.
