Middlesex assemblymen have made an ex-

they lined up solidly against the Jim" NJ

DEMOCRACY.

The democracy of this country is plainly il
Illustrated by the present visit Of President
elect Woodrow Wilson to Bermuda. 1t seems
that the man who has just been chosen to be
the chief executive of over 90,000,000 people,
has rented the upper part of a cottage on this
southern isle and is spending his vacation
there with his family in a most transformations
manner. We read that the governor calls it his
'hat,'' as the first floor is occupied by the
owner of the building.
Try to imagine, if you can, the executive, or
the man who is about to be executive, Of any
other country, living in such an ordinary way.
1t would be impossible for any of the crowned
heads to visit any place like Bermuda, because
there would not be a suitable place on the isle
to entertain them. Even the President of
France and all the other republics of Europe,
live in far greater splendor and move about
with greater ceremony than would be thought
of in America. A person from any other coun-
try, holding a position similar to that now held
by Woodrow Wilson, would not think OF
spending such a vacation as the President
elect of the United States is now enjoying.

TIME FOR ACTION.
urgent.

It was said at the last session of congress
that the committee in charge Of the matter
Of civil service pensions, might have some
thing to report at the short session which
began Monday. The recent agitation over
the offer made by Andrew Carnegie to pay
$4,000 a year to ex-presidents, has renewed
interest in this matter and it is to be hoped
that congress will be urged to take some &C
ton as the result Of Mr.. Carnegie's PROPOSE
ton.
1t was not surprising that the whole country
arose in resentment to the offer made by Mr..
Carnegie, and it is not likely that any Presi-
dent will accept the offer he has made. The
fact remains, however, that some provision
should be made for or eE-ppfesidents, in
order mat Jh9aee9S may be properly provided
III ~ turing the remainder of their lives.
But the pension for an ex-president also
brings up the desirabiity of providing for
all government employees who have devoted
their lives to work for the government, and
have received but scant compensation there
for.
There is no doubt that the efficiency OF
government offices would be greatly increased
by the retirement of a great many of en-
ployes who have reached the age when they
cannot keep up the pace that is required in
these strenuous days. But it would be unfair
to turn these employees out with absolutely
nothing to aid them. The only solution is
an adequate pension for civil service en-
ployes, similar to that which is in force in
other countries and which many corporations
in this country have adopted.
1t is to be hoped that the present congress
will find time to put through such a measure,
at least have it introduced and thoroughly
discussed. We believe that once the people
understands the desirability of having a pen
sion system it will be a decidedly popular
measure.

WI 5islature ana the MOTIFS Oahal'
.teE1eE IS follows:
''The Legislature last winter did by omis-
sion a signal service for the State. 1t re-
fused to sanction the tentative agreement for
the abandonment of the Morris Canal as a
waterway and authorized a committee inves-
tigation Of public sentiment on the subject.
It is understood that a majority of this COM
mittee began the investigation prepossessed
in favor of the terms of the agreement and
prepossessions are hard to get rid of, but in
the hearings held opinions have been brought
out that present the case Of the canal In a
clearer aspect. They give the view taken by
the late Cortlandt Parker, an expert in mat
ters Of transportation as well as in law, that
the welfare of the State demands the pres
e~rvation and proper operation of the Morris
Canal. 1t is now suggested in Jersey City
that the next Legislature authorize an inves-
tigation of the reasons for the excessive cost
of anthracite and the relation of this cost to
canal navigation. A searching investigation
is now going on in Philadelphia, and the own
ership of the Schuylkil Canal by the Read
ing Railroad is brought in question. That
canal once transported a million and a quar-
ter tons of coal in a year, and in 1911 the
total carried was less than seventy-three
thousand tons. Railroad control worked this
change. AS Pennsylvania is now aroused ON
the coal and canal question the two States
can cooperate to restore independent canal
tidewater, a policy that, vigorously carried
out, will bring the coal combine to it's knees"
The second editorial was entitled, "Can-
ada's Canal Policy and Cure" 1t is as fol
lows:
"Unlike the United States, Canada has pro
tected her inland waterways from the rail
roads and is rapidly and extensively extend
ing and charging her canal system. State
inspected the Canadian waterways, made a
statement at Albany yesterday describing
Canadian canal enterprise. For the Welland
Canal an appropriation of $50,OO0,OO0 is ex-
pected this year for enlargement and extern
sion. The canal is thirty-seven miles long and
will accommodate ships. The Georgian Bay
Canal is to be built at a cost of $500, 900, 600,
and the existing Trent Canal is now being en-
larged and deepened. The engineer says that

STRENGTH OF MOTHER LOVE
Stork or Lark Willingly Give Lives
to Save the Young Birds From
Danger.

SO strong Is the mother love de-
veloped In the stork and the lark
that 1t amounts to a heroic passion.
The stork. which spends the win
ter in Egypt and the summer in
northern and western Europe, likes
to build its nest on the top Of some
steep gable roof. Such a nest Is
often a real nuisance to man. 1t iS
from three to five yards in diameter.
1t swarms with lizards, frogs, toads
and other disagreeable creatures. 1t
becomes in course Of time so heavy
that 1t will break the roof II not arti-
fcially propped up from below.
Nevertheless, for various supersti-
tious reasons the stork Is not only
welcome, but even courted by the
European peasants, and 1t cannot be
denied that the respect with which
the bird is regarded Is to some extent
deserved.
II the house takes fire and the
young storks happen to be Of an age
at which they cannot be saved by
being taken away from the nest the
stork mother does not abandon them.
Standing erect In the nest, Tapping
her wings to watt away the smoke
and the flames, and crying out now
and then. she remains with her young,
perishing with them.
The skylark, which builds its nest
in the meadows, runs away from 1t
when frightened. She proceeds for
four or five yards under the clover
and rises perpendicularly in the air,
pouring forth her song in its widest
strains in order to divert the in
truder's attention. But the peasant
boy knows that 80 long as she re-
mains hanging at the same point in
the air he is still four or five yards
from the nest, and he uses the direc-
ton Of her movements and the ring
OF. her song to ascertain the exact
spot.
If 1t chances that the young larks
are just about to break through the
shell Of the eggs, at which time the
mother instinct Is at its height, 1t Is
said that at the very moment when
the nest Is touched the little bird
will actually attack the Intruder
