A VERDICT ON STRICT PARTY LINES.

I'D Official partisan lines are drawn very closely and, it may
liz be added, with little regard to the morafties or to the
justice involved, in a case where the State Senate divides
on party lines on a question like that in the Ftzherbert case, all
the Republican senators voting one way and all the Democratic
senator's voting the other. How would it look if an ordinary trial
jury should divide up in that way in a criminal trial in our courts?
There is no case of the kind on record. In an ordinary jury trial,
too. all the jurors must be for conviction in order to get a verdict
of guilty. In the Senate yesterday guilt was established by a
bare majority of one and partisanship ruled the senatorial body.
We had looked for a verdict in this case wholly on its merits and
without any Interior motives. A member of the Senate was gravely
accused. 1t was the duty of the Senate to investigate the charge.
1t was the right of the accused senator to have a full and fair
hearing and be judged strictly by the evidence and by nothing else.
In the case of Senator Lorimer, of Illinois, Senate investigation
has gone on for many months and the case is still pending. In
Fitzherberts case only a few days elapsed between the charge and
the verdict, and the verdict was rendered under circumstances that
rob it of significance. May it not be asked if Fitzherbert had been
a member of the Senate majority whether the result would not
have been reversed and the eleven votes given yesterday for his
conviction have been recorded for his aequittal?

MYSTERY OF II ANTARCTIC SOLVED.

TT Z was the great exploit of Commodore Peary in solving the
agelong problem of the North Pole that melted explorers to
renewed efforts to penetrate the vast Antarctic continent and
locate the South Pole. Captain Scott, of England, has now achieved
that splendid feat and immortalized his name. 1t was urged upon
icary after his triumph in the North to make the attempt to
conquer the Antarctic, but it is doubtful if after the severe hard
ships he underwent in the Arctic he would have been equal to the
great task. 1t was enough for him that he had planted the Stars
and Stripes upon the northernmost extremity of our globe. 1t
was left to an intrepid Engishman, cumulative of Peary's exploit,
To- plant the. British flag at the southernmost extremity, and all
honor to hin Honor is due, also, to the brave Norseman, who,
failing in the quest, was the first to convey to civilization the news
of the victory of his rival.

Say Hospital Clerks Lack Courtesy.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The lack of courtesy extended to Wis
clerks in the office of the hospital is
shameful. Not long ago l wen to the
hospital to inquire the condition of 8
sick friend. On stating who I wanted
to see, without being informed whether
I could see the party or not, was told
to have a seat on one of the benches ir
the hall. i.
After waiting there about twenty OF
thirty minutes, I again stepped in the
office and asked how long it would be
before 1 would know whether l could
see my friend. With a disguised look
the clerk informed me that 1t might be
in a few minutes and perhaps not al
all, giving no reasons for the delay.
l asked to see the superintendent and
was told that he was out. At this
left the hospital. During the time ]
was sitting on the bench in the hall
three people came in and asked the
SdliG PdI ~ WLtIS llt ECCCifihS AOOiAA
was located. With a vague motion of
the hand, pointing to the rear of the
building, the people were told to go
downstairs After looking for
"downstairs' for four or five minutes,
one Of the nurses who happened to be
passing told the people exactly where
to go, something which the clerk in
the office should have done in the first
place.
I do not live in Newark and l was
greatly surprised at the dis
played by the clerk in the office. 1
visited many hospitals in much
larger cities than Newark, but the
courtesy of the office force in these
places was always beyond r%eproach.

bers of our State Senate, ope cannot
refrain from comment on the straight
party vote in the case of Fitzherbert.
Haven't the senators any individual
opinions? Are we to understand from
the vote that ~perchance Fitzherbert
had been a Republican under the same
circumstances the vote would have
been IL to 8 for his acquittal? Was he
charged with being a Democrat, or
was 1t some "other crime" that had
nothing to do with party or politics?
If the Senate had been a jury would
the prosecution have peremptorily
challenged all Democrats, and would
the defense nave likewise challenged
all Republicans? Did the Democrats
vote mot guilty because that was
their honest verdict? Instead of con
sidering what Fitzherbert did it APP
pears as though it might be more i'm
portant what their party was going to
do. 1t looks as though guilt or inno-
cence made little difference. 1t seemed
to be only a matter of party.
To the lay mind it looks disgusting.
1t seems unfortunate Fitzherbert
wasn't a Republican so he might nave
the majority with him. If the Senate
sat as a jury how could politics enter
into such an important case as this
IF the Senate sat as a political body
where was the use of the trial? In that
case it was settled before the man was
tried.
1t is a ridiculous, sorrowful and most
pitiful spectacle the way I look at
such a verdict. G. w. M. w.

STATE ARCHITECT ECONOMIES.

@ TATE ARCHITECT POOLE, who recently resigned his s.. 500
- Office, is credited with having saved the State sometl ing
like $25O,000 in architect fees, as he drew all the plans for
State building and repairs. Naturally, this State economy has
not been altogether relished by architects. Prior to the appoint
ment of Poole there were great scandals in State building con
sfruction. There was one in connection with plans for the State
Normal School at Montclair. Two bills in the Legislature propose
10 restore the old system. An expensive State architect is to be
appointed and he is to hand out jobs to private architects. The
effect of such legislation would be to compel the State to pay either
$4,000 or $257 900 for what the State has been getting for S26J 800.
The difference in favor of the retention of the present State archi-
tet system is all the logic needed for killing the two bills.

A woman had made a complaint
against a man that he had not COW

and refused full payment for the work.
After listening to the arguments the
Judge said: Sergeant Fyan, will you
kindly AXE this matter In charge and
adjust the dificulty?"
Certainly, your honor" replied the
detective, "but I am not an expert in

THE SHAN OF TRUST "DlssoLU7noM."

NAV HAT the Sherman law and the federal prosecutions of
WY trusts Hereunder amount to may be ildged from the
present quotation of 1856 for a share in each of tbe
thTtyfour concerns into which the Standard Oil ComDany has
been dissolved The previous high record for a share of the
undivided combination was $S42 in 1901. The earning mower of
the singleheaded trust must have been based largely upon the
destruction of competition. If the oil business has been rlaced
upon a competitive basis by the supposed breakingup process
why is its hydra-headed successor worth in the aggregate $4,000
UO0 more! Can there be any further doubt that the so called dnso.
luton of the Standard Oil Company was a sham or that The trust
prosecutions by Attorney General Wickersham are mere pageantry2

TT HE law should be as obligatory upon a railroad company as
Ii upon a private citizen. Until last year the law permitted
the railroad companies TO hold back their annual taxes from
the State treasury for long periods. Then the treasury held on to
the same for longer periods. The effect upon the school districts.
which are entitled to the bulk of these taxes, was that they had
to borrow money at high rates of interest in anticipation of the
taxes. An act passed last year provides that the railroad taxes
must be paid by February 1 each year. They were not paid on
that date this year and are still withheld. 1t was left 10 Assem-
byman Martin to discover that fact, and the House judiciary com
mittee is sitting upon a resolution of inquiry. The state admins.
tration might explain.

asked the reason for the militant ac-

replied that the women were enraged
