HIS HEART IN PUBLIC EDUCATION.

IN SINGULAR devotion to public educational ideals was that
IA of the late Edward Russ, formerly president of the Ho-
boken Board of Education. 1t is displayed in his will. A
welltodo bachelor. he felt at liberty to dispose of his property
for public purposes, and the greater part of it was left.in his will
to institutions. TO the State Normal School at Montclair he gave
$4,000, the School for the Deaf and Dumb got his art collection
and silverware, his valuable library and furniture went to the
Hoboken Free Library, his costly Oriental rugs go to the Colored
School at Bordentown. There are generous requests to a number
OF other institutions. This disposition of his property proves the
quality of the man as a public school administrator. 1t shows that
his heart was in his official duties. What a glorious government
the schools of New Jersey would have if all the school board mem.
bers were of the same type of man as Edward Russ

UNDERWOOD AS A CANDIDATE.

EPRESENTATIVE OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD. of Alabama.
i'm the wonderfully able majority leader in the House, has made
no journeys and delivered no speeches, but has remained
at his post of duty and performed an amount of work that few
public men would be capable of. He has been a possible candi
date for the Democratic nomination and the possibility seems TO
pc resolving itself into a probability. Mr. Underwood is a pro-
gressive Democrat. He represents the practical type. He has no
Illusions and favors conditions rather than theories. He has dis
played the highest qualities of craftsmanship with a remarkable
talent for constructive work. This much is conceded by his poiti.
cal opponents. 1t is well for the Democratic party to have at
&ntia1 calibre.

JERSEYS DRIFT TO ROOSEVELT.

MAJ K. TAFTS visit to New Jersey next Monday is anticipat ted
by two significant incidents that are of a nature to open
his eyes to the real situation in New Jersey respecting
the Republican presidential nomination. One was the authoritative
poll taken by the Cumberland County Republican Committee TO
ascertain the preferences of the Republican voters in Cumberland.
The count of the votes received showed 1,020 for Roosevelt to 14S
Tor Taft and for La Toilette. The latter figure can now be put
in the Roosevelt column. The other incident was witnessed last
night in Jersey City, when the Regular, or Rotterdam, Republican
organization unanimously indorsed Roosevelt. AS the Progressive
Republicans in Hudson had previously come out squarely for the
FORMER President, there is nothing left for Taft in Hudson county
but Colonel Sam Dickinson. In Essex the Republican County Com
mittee has Endorsed Taft, while the Progressive Republicans have
Endorsed Roosevelt. A poll of the county on the Cumberland county
plan would show how the Republican voters stand.

The DEADLY PHOSPHORUS.

sNAT HlLE there is no doubt of the Escb bill becoming law at
WV this session of Congress, if it gets before that body, the
subcommittee of the ways and means committee in charge
OF the measure has been acting in a way that is drawing severe
gcritlcisnn. This bill will tax out of existence the white phosphorus
which causes a loathsome and deadly disease among match workers.
The subcommittee, named in secret, is holding starchamber SEES
sions. and the reason alleged is that it does not want to hear the
appeals Of the public for a favorable report, an odd and perhaps
.npbeardof position. II does not seem possible that this measure.

coyerrment and paiIroads.


To the Editor of the Evening Star;
If what the lawyers for the railroads
say is true, then it is to be expected
that there will be government owner
ship of railroads within the next ten
years. The chief counsel for the Penn
~sylvania Company said that the legis-
lation that has been enacted in the
last few years will scare capital away
from railroad Investment. and that 1t
will be Necessary for the government
to own and operate. all roads.
This does not seem such an awful
thing. There is no doubt of the fact
that the country could run its W
railroads and do it better than the;
private companies. 1t can run a post
ONCE successfully. and there is no
reason why the railroads and express
companies and telegraph companies
could moi come within the scope of
government ownership. r. w. Fl.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
An effort viii be made Don TO have
capital punishment abolished in this
State. In all probability it will be a
futile effort. 1t should not be left, how

away from the only adequate punish
mont of capital crime.
In these days of the successful feigp-
ing of Illness or insanity among crimi-
nails to create sympathy and to invite
executive e~lennency or pardon, to do
away with capital punishment would be
to hampe1 justice. make a mockery of

crime. Let us not welcome murder by

THE CHICAGO NEWSPAPERS.

There was once the time when the
editorial columns of the Chicago
newspapers were forces in the COM
munity and when to read them was
to come in contact with brilliant in
tellects. But this is no more. Ever
since the business office began to
dominate the editorial rooms there
has been marked decadence.
Indianapolis is what would be
called a provincial city yet the edi
torial columns of its News are far
superior to any of those in metropoli-
tan Chicago. They are more instruc-
tive. the writer's have a wider train
ing, their perspective takes in for
eign affairs with a keen perception,
their viewpoint of daily American
is forceful and virile, and the reader
may gain instruction from them.
OF the Chicago newspapers, tbs
News editorials possess no stamina.
The cash register seems to be the de-
termining factor when decided poin-
ions are to be uttered. There is
more character to the Record-Herald,
and like the News. its news columns
Iare clean, conservative and an adj
mirable piece of journalistic fabric.
but the range of its editorial writer's
is too confined The once-powerful
Tribune has steadily fallen from the
heights attained by Medill. 1t pays
too much attention to it's own politi-
cal chickering's, and, like its contemp-
oraries, it's grasp of world events is
too limited. The Journal strikes
hard at times but its opinions are
invariably as unstudied as they are
brief Only one side is seen by the
Socialist and If the reader depended
upon the daily Brisbane in the

THE NORTH SIDE.

1t becomes apparent today that
thousands of property owners on the
north side in Hammond will be bene-
fitted by the location of the Schles-
niger Steel Company in that section
of the region.
The situation in Hammond is
different than it was in either Gary
or East Chicago when big plants
have located In Gary the principal
beneficiary was the Gary Land Co,
subsidiary of the United States
Steel Company.
In East Chicago the East Chicago
Co. benefited principally from the
location of the Baldwin Locomotive
works. But in Hammond the lots on
the north side had been sold out to
the workingmen of the city.
They will reap most of che benefit.
Many of them have been holding
their property for years in the hope
that something would happen to en-
nance the value of it. Their faith
has been rewarded.
1t Is expected that the unearned
increment on the property of the
north side will amount to millions OF
dollars which will be largely divided
among a class of people will need it
most
OF course the real estate dealers

Readers of Chicago newspapers do
not get the value from editorial
columns that they should. We do
not intend to single out the merits
of the more important organs of the
eastern press but comparing those of
Chicago with them the contrast is
apparent. IL the reader wishes to
keep posted on world politics he must
seek his knowledge from eastern
writer's.
