A JUDICIAL UsURPATloN APPEALED.

eTNHE United States Supreme Court, which not infrequently
reverses decisions by State courts that are too narrow or
too broad or merely crotchety, is to pass upon the opinion
revolutionizes the character of the grand jury system, converting
It from a purely lay institution as it was designed and as 1t has
always existed into an adjunct of the judicial power, the grand
jurors to be appointed at any time in the discretion OF the judge
by his appointees. The case out of which this extraordinary
decision grew is now lost sight of in the infinitely greater ques-
zion whether a judicial usurpation shall destroy a bulwark OF
personal liberty that was erected against the very power
hat has decreed its destruction. An encroachment on popular
rights by the legislative or executive power is less dangerous
than one by the judiciary, which is not answerable to the people
and is virtually irremovable. Liberties can be taken with the
peoples Constitution to subvert vital principles and there is
little chance of redress in this State. And no greater liberty
was ever taken with the Constitution and bill of rights than in
over the grand jury. Whether that power will ever be abused
by a Judge is not in question. ALL power is bound to be wrongly
used at some time. The grand inquest was most oppressively
misused in England by judges until the selection of the jury
men was taken from them and given to the sheriff and after him
tc the coroner. We are taught by experience, else history would
have no lessons for us, and we would be repeating in our age
the costly blunders and crimes of government that made human
travail in past ages. True, that is done on a large scale in the
worlds affairs, but the American people know the origin of
their institutions, they know out of what struggles they grew
and they cannot be too jealous of every usurpation to destroy or
pervert them. The appeal to the United States Supreme Court
against the Court of Errors decision will be the appeal of the
people of the State in common on their own behalf and for the
sanctity of their constitutional rights.

HOW AMERICA INFLUENCES EUROPE.

NUGLIELMO FERRERO, the famous Italian historian,
VT recognizes American influence in the renascence of the
popular spirit in the Balkan States. He witnesses
the same influence in Italy and Hungary, and more especially in
italy. The first effect of American character and institutions
was felt in ] France in the time of Louis XVI. and helped to bring
on the great French Revolution, which so profoundly changed
the politics of Europe. But we were a small nation then, there
was little immigration and, with slow-saiing vessels, not much
connection across the Atlantic. Today we are a nation of more
than ninety millions and we receive a million immigrants an
nualy, while there is a steady flow of many thousands back to
Europe. These returning immigrants carry American ideas into
the remotest hamlets in European countries. At the same time
the ocean mails carry millions of letters to relatives and friends
in the old countries. This reflex influence of the American re-
public is enormous. 1t explains the popular unrest in Central
Europe, the great growth of Socialism, the gradual undermining
of the monarchical principle, the growing hatred of mihtarism.
IT is largely the inspiration of Bulgar, Serb and Greek in the
present war. And that influence constantly streaming across
the Atlantic is destined to work a great revolution in the whole
political fabric of Europe.

Turks Defeat
Due to Vice and
Presumption
Americanized Christian Native
of Turkey Tells Wednesday
Club Why Armies of Balkan
Allies Were Victorious.

Overestimating the power of its
army and the fact that the country
has a monopoly of vice were given
by Vahan Cardashian as the chief
causes for the defeat of the Turks.
Mr.. Cardashian. who is a native of
the Turkish empire. made this state
ment in an address before the
Wednesday Club in the Continental
Hotel last night. Mr.. Cardashian is
a practising lawyer in New York. He
said that his country's successful OPP
ponents were graced with a monopoly
of virtue. He gave an interesting C
count of the war and the things which
led up to 1t.
The speaker gave the history of the
conflict, which, he said, should be
treated with calmness and without
prejudice. He reviewed the status
of the various countries involved and
said that many misleading reports
had been sent out by press agents.
Mr.. Cardashian is a Christian native
Of Turkey and has given much at
tention not only to the affairs of his
government. but to the principles and
customs of Islam. Coming to Amer
lea in early manhood, he entered Yale
University, from which he was grad
uated several years ago.
The dinner, which was the monthly
gathering of the club, was presided
over by the Rev. James H. Mac
Donald, pastor of st. Luke's Meth
odist Episcopal Church, and was at
tended by 1876 members of the organi-
cation.
The Wednesday Club was organized
November Is, 1903, and has held about
$50 dinners since that time. AT each
of these affairs speakers of note have
given addresses. and a list of these,
together with a list of the 300 mem
bers. has been printed in a neat
book which was distributed to the
guests last night.

CANAL AND JERSEY CITY DEVELOPMENT.

INCORPORATION COUNSEL WARREN DIXON, of Jersey
NJ City, in his argument to the canal investigation COM
mission last night in opposition to Morris canal abandon
ment,a showed that the canal basin was "the key Of the CONNER
cial development of Jersey City" The Star has pointed out the
great value to that city of the canal terminus. But it is de-
plorable for Jersey City that it should have been ruled in the
past by men so stupidity blind to the priceless commercial value
of it's water front that they permitted nearly every foot Of it to
be sacrificed and even in one case ignorantly refused to accept
a State gift of a splendid waterfront tract. Nor is there any
lack of that same stupidity now, when it is proposed to destroy
the Morris canal, of which Jersey City is the terminus, to the
injury of manufacturing interests and to prevent commercial
doyaIonment.

BOARD or WORKS BooKKEEpLNG EXHlBIZ

eTa He experts report on the finances of the Board of Works
ii frees the board from any suspicion of dishonesty in re-
gard to the defcito $273, 9314 found in the accounts of
the water department. This seeming shortage is due to a
elovenly bookkeeping system and incompetent and careless en-
ployees. As to the latter, it is shown that an error of 1000 in
ii footing for the year ending December 81, 1909, had not been
discovered and had been offset by an arbitrary adjustment of
the trial balance. The experts found the books sin very bad
condition, due to absolute ignorance The commissioners elect
ed to the Board of Works are business men and their duty is
TO see that the bookkeeping of the board as we'll as other de-
partments is conducted systematically and properly. A faxed
annual balance undiscovered for three years, and then by ex-
perts, is alone a sorry commentary on commissioner vigilance.
A new board will take charge at the beginning of next year.
Must it perforce fall heir to the cerical. incompetency exhibited
BY the books of the present board?

Replies to Mrs. I~sraeIs.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Sir-In this evenings edition of the
Newark Evening Star an article was
printed relative to a statement issued
by Mrs. Charles H. Israels, of New
York, in which she is quoted as say
ing:
Il thought that the ballroom was to
be a purely ph%ilanthropic enterprise.
designed primarily to fight the dance
hall evil. l believed hal its pro-
moters desired to take the young boys
and girls of Newark away from the
baneful influence of the public dance
halls, and ] allowed my name to be
used n connection with the opening
of he place, and gave the project NV
Endorsement.
Later, however, L found that the
ballroom was opened purely as a
money-making proposition, quite as
much 80 as any other dance hall. in
the CITY. There was to. be a certain
amount of responsibility in connec-
ton with its operation, 1 understood.
but the whole thing was entirely mer-
cenary, and had no social aspect at
all. When I learned this /, of course,
withdrew"
This statement, coming from Mrs.
1sraels at this time, is very unfair, as
UP to two days ago Mrs: Israels was
perfectly willing to continue as gem
eral manager of the Social Centres
Corporation providing certain ar
rangements, which were very much of
a business nature, would be entered
into with her.
Since a few days after the Palace
ballroom opened we have had Mr.. AL.
Flath as general manager, and the
place has been conducted along the
best lines possible, and has received
the hearty commentator of numer-
Gus visitors and some of the most rep
resentative citizens of the city of
Newark and it's environs.
The Social Centres Corporation
would be exceedingly obliged to the
Star if you would give prominence
% the above statement.
Thanking you, we are, very truly
yours,

HOW TO FATTEN THE GEESE
Largely In Demand In Fall, but Choice
Birds Bring Good Prices All
the Year Round.
(By w. F. PURDUE.)

CBy w. F. PURDUE)
Dressed geese are largely in demand
in the cities during the fall months.
but choice birds will bring good prices
the entire year. Do not offer old
stock. however. as they are not desired
by the purchasers and are more suit
able to their owners as breeders.
There Is no advantage in selling on
the old stock of geese. as they live
many years. and the older birds are
generally best for breeding purposes.
and the young ones bring better prices
in the market.
Do not proceed to fatten the geese
suddenly, but confine gradually. Allow
several in a small yard. which should
be kept clean and somewhat darkened.
Corn meal and milk. with some beef
scraps. wheat and brewers grains fat

Do not give them green food while

poses should be kept in their pen. AL

Goslings may be put up to fatten
when from to 10 weeks old. After
they are twelve weeks old they will
begin to shed and will fatten readily
then until the end Of the season. Pre-
vious to being confined they should
have a good range where grass is plen-
tiful. and 1t will then require but few
days to get them ready for killing.

REASONS FOR SAVING STRAW
VIII Be Needed for Feed Owing to
shortness Of Hay crop-keeps
Live Stock In Comfort.

Owing to the shortness OF the hay
crop. straw will be valuable this win
ter for feed. 1t should be put into the
barn after threshing. II Kicked in the
barnyard make one large, long. high
rick. Keep the middle full and well
trodden down, and make a good steep
roof. After the rick settles, top out,
rake of the loose straw from all sides,
then wire down to prevent the top
blowing Off The rick should be fenced
in to prevent the stock eating into the
sides. Dat straw, II 1t is not damaged
by rain. makes better fodder than
wheat straw. Mules. young cattle and
sheep can be carried through the win
ter on oat straw and small daily al
lowance of grain. We always give
our cows a good forkful of clean dry
straw after they have eaten their
mixed feed, have had an hours ex-
ercise and been watered. says the
Baltimore American.
A large portion of the straw will be
eaten and what is left is used for bed
ding. A forkful of wheat straw is
given to each COW in the morning and
also in the evening. Cows, mules and
young stock have all the straw they
want to eat and have also a good.
warm straw bed. The straw from 80
acres of wheat and 10 acres of oats is
thus used every season; the stock is
kept In comfort, and large quantity
OF rich manure is made, which is
hauled out and spread over the grass
as fast as made. A thick coat of ma
nure makes rich sod. and sod makes
the corn to feed the stock

obtained by inserting two forked sticks
