SCHOOL ROOFS FOR FAIRGROUNDS.

IL VERY schoOlhouse roof should be a recreation place for the
LIZ children. 1t is infinitely stupid TO build large schoolhouses
and let the roof go to waste when it can be used for the
most necessary purposes. In the administration of the school
houses there has always been manifested an astonishing lack of
IDEAS, a stupid adherence to past plumbers and gross ignorance of
the most essential economies in public education. There has always
oeen as much need of education for educational boards as for the
school children. BY persistent prodding the school administrators
are Slowly coming around to c0mmOn-sense ideas. Some of the
schoolhouse roofs in Newark are to be utilized for Fairgrounds.

CANAL MISREPRESENTATION REACTS.

q TATEMENTS put out through Lehigh Valley sources and
meant TO mislead the public and the members of the Legs
fature about the affairs of the Morris canal are shown up
IN their utter falsity. II has been represented that the Lehigh
canal in Pennsylvania. which was formerly the feeder of the
Morris canal in its coal traffic and is controlled by the Central
railroad. was now an abandoned ditch without water. The truth
is that tis canal is in operation and its boats carry coal down
The Delaware. II is proposed to eectrify this canal, because, as
now operated. il does not compete with the railroad company
Traffic. IT has been represented that the coal traffic of the Morris
canal had ceased. The report Of the Lehigh Valley for 1910 showed
income from the canal traffic. These misrepresentation,
some ignUraT~ anUN0thers designed, react. They are an additional
argument for Il thorough Investigation by the State of the Norris
canal in all It's phases before anything shah be done by the
Legislature.

ONLY ONE LEGISLATIVE WEEK LEFT.

1Ta HE present week will be a busy one for the Legislature. The
session is to end with the week, and as no important bill has
vet been sent to the Governor, while hundreds of bills are
in committee or on the calendars, there will have to be spurts OF
railroad speed to get the calendars cleared by Saturday. There
is, therefore, the usual congestion. Measures like the Morris canal
bill have had no discussion in the Legislature and members gen
orally pay little attention to the public hearings. With a week
to finish the legislative business and with a vast amount of bust
ness to transact, what kind of deiberation can be given ito highly
important affairs involving the States welfare?

WIPE OUT THE COMMERCE COURT.

ID VERY step toward the abolition of the Court of Commerce.

for the people from the railroads, and which has consistently car

to abolish the court has now been favorably reported. Keep the

WILSON EASILY LEADING
FIELD

The New York Herald published its
first instalment OF its countrywide re-
view of the presidential situation, and
its indications are that Wilson is
easily leading both Taft and Roose-
welt, with Taft running third, accord
ing to the straw ballots. More than
24,00O test ballots were taken in vari-
Gus parts of the country. The results
in the vaIious States follows:
New York-Taft, 5S3; Roosevelt,
1,011; Wilson, 1,147.
Connecticut-Taft, IS; Roosevelt,
127; Wilson, SO.
Delaware-Taft, 266; Roosevelt, 381
Wilson, 927.
New Jersey-Taft, 245; Roosevelt,
300; Wilson, All.
Pennsylvania-Taft, 543; Roosevelt,
573; Wilson, 567.
Maryland-Taft, 48; Roosevelt, 1926;
Wilson. 1872.
Ohio-Taft, 942; Roosevelt, s1S;
Wilson, 1914.
Indiana-Taft, Ss1; Roosevelt, /, I'll;
Wilson, 2,100.
West Virginia-Taft, 232; Roose.
yelt, 529; Wilson, IT'S.
Kentucky-Taft, TIA; Roosevelt, L.
452 Wilson, 2,764.
Wyoming-Taft, 176; Roosevelt,
lis; Wilson, 204.
OF the total straw ballots taken in
all regions, the result was as follows
Wilson, II, 1854; Roosevelt, 7,l47; Taft,
4 1874: Debs, 1900. The figures show
Roosevelt has drawn 4, $50 votes from
the Republican party, 67s from Demo
Gratis, 20 from Debs.
The Republican lossfrom 1908, &C.
cordingt the figures, is 5,as7. Mn
Democratic gain overt 1908 IL 2,254.
The Herald makes no predictions Of
its own, but merely presents the hg-
ures, which speak for themselves. II
also prints the reports from CORE.
sponderts in every State in the United
States. which bear but largely the in.
dicated results.of the straw votes.
The Esfald finds that the Roosevelt
tide has reached its height, and thai
the Taft movement Is gaining in some
parts OF the country Wilson remains
stationery in some sections, gains in
others, and, SO far as reports show,
loses nowhere. The Herald says that
its reports indicate very clearly that
Wilson is leading both the other can
didates.
