ACTION NOW IN HARBOR DEVELOPMENT.

IT T has long been wished by the Newark community that some
of the occasional talk, such as that in the Newark BOARD
of Trade rooms yesterday, was translated into action. Inc
waiting has extended over several years and there is as yet
no real sign of progress. The dependence upon the federal gov
eminent to take the initiative with an appropriation anticipates
the plain duty of the locality, which is to JUSTIFY a 1eoerai ap-
nropriation bv a genuine show Of enterprise. When Newark
and Its neighbors on the bay have fully embarked upon a scheme
Of harbor development that evidence of good faith will have its
due effect upon Congress. The appropriation will be forthcom-
INC. If otherwise, we may wait several years for Congress to
vote tbe money. 1t has been made evident enough, too, that
the enterprise which promises such great benefits for our city
should be committed to a competent commission. In the case
Of the trunk sewer the State bore the expense OF the engineering
rlnns. therefore the suggestion by Calvin Tomkins in regard
to a State commission is apropos. Harbor improvement in New
ark bay would be an important State benefit. What is to be
done should be done on the broadcast lines, in taking in a harbor
deepened inshore and not bulkheaded out, and making the
Newark and Hackensack meadows solid ground for manufactur-
ing and other purposes.

Alfred II. Brown. NJ. A., of Boston.
gave an interesting talk on THE
Drama as a Democratic Art" before
the Contemporary of Newark in
Wallace Hall yesterday afternoon.
Art does not concern itself with
morals, it oncern itself with life,-
declared the speaker, and he used
this principle as the theme of his adj
dress.
He said that art is the strong

it deals with truth. Truth is its only
limitation and its function is to in
terpret emotion and thought. To do
this it must be above morals, not be-
fore them. We need to possess SYM
he said, and this is taught in the
theatre and portrayed in most telling
form. He suggested that a COM
munity should have a drama league,
members Of which should attend the
theatre and act as judges and crit
les. The Repertoire Theatre, in Brook
Ign, which has been organized and is
in curse of construction, was de-
scribed in detail, and he declared
that it would be a monument to dra-
matte art. The cost will be $500, 900.

A MOR OF Y

ea HE late John F. Dryden, former United States senator and
the president and founder of the Prudential Life 1nsur-
ance Company of America, died on November "a, 1911.
In memoriam of Nj. Dryden the company has issued a superbly
nrinted and illustrated volume of s~ixty-three pages, containing
a sketch of Mr.. Dryden's remarkable life career and some of
the numerous tributes paid to him at the time of his death.
The frontispiece is a lfehke and wonderfully executed picture OF
Mr. DRYDEN, while another illustration shows him seated in his
Office engaged in the congenial task of preparing Christmas
greetings to the Prudential staff. Still another illustrated
page shows him at different periods of his life. This souvenir
will be priced by the many people who knew Mr.. Dryden In
life and appreciated his wonderful life work, the breadth of
mind that made him a master among men and the gentle and
modest personal qualities that won the afectionate loyalty of all
his associates and employees and endeared him to his friends.

NOW UP TO THE APPELLATE JUDGES

gunner whom he hired to murder Rosenthal were con-

between the date of the commission of the crime and the trials
and conviction of the murderers, an unexamped record for New
York in a case in which the defendants had the advantage of

of appeals to the upper courts, with the legerdemain of the law
yers, and, it is to be feared, the befogging of the question of
guilt with technicaities to prolong the eases Unfortunately or
bring about a new trial, which, with the scattering of Witnesses

JERSEY CONGRESSMAN Nv THE TARIFF.

.UHOW will the eleven Democratic New Jersey congressman
hi line up on the tariff at the special session? There can
be no doubt about the party program 1t calls for radi
cal revision downward in its schedules and this revision is bound
to meet with strong protests from manufacturing interests in
every Congress district in the State, as well as from labor or
CARNATIONS. The average congressman looks for reelection and
that desire usually influences his views and votes in Congress.
Few care to immediate themselves on the altar of a party prin-
ciple. No congressman from New Jersey will have any hand in
shaping tariff bills, as none will be on the committee of ways
and means. The House caucus will make the bills party meas
ures, so if they are not ~palatable to the New Jersey member
what shall he do, if convinced that district interests are jeopar-
died and his prospects of reelection compromised? 1t is a
powerful pail on a man in Congress when manufacturing capital
and labor in his district combine to control his vote. Newly
elected members from this State have yet to realize that fact.

RAILROADS AS COAL RETAILERS.

I'D PHILADELPHIA is profoundly stirred by the revelation
liz that the great coalcarrying railroads own not only the
mines but the retail yards. Thus, literally, the anthra-
cite barons are enabled to work the consumer at both ends and
in the middle. 1t is found that the retailers in many cases are
mere monthly tenants of the railroads and could be put out of
their yards in thirty days if they ventured to cut under the
uniform prices set for them. In that city, as in Newark and
every other place where anthracite is sold, the retail dealers
have a castiron agreement. Not even the municipality can get
coal cheaper in any quantity and proposals for bidding are a
farce. as all the bids are the same. The discovery of railroad
ownership of Philadelphia coal yards is another proof of the
complete conspiracy between producers, carriers and dealers to
throttle competition and squeeze the consumer. Is there SINH
lar railroad ownership or control of coal yards in New York, or
IN New Jersey cities? And does not this question of coal com
bine appeal to the State legislator?

SPECIAL SESSION.

Governors Proclamation Calling for
one March 20.
Governor Frederick w. Plaisted last
Thursday issued proclamation command
ing the legislature to convene in special
session, March 20, to revise the election
of electing representatives ana to prepare
something in the way of liquor legislation.
The proclamation is as follows:
.'our laws relating to the conduct Of cleo
lions, the making of returns to the governor
and council, the tabulating of such returns
and the declaration of the result thereof are
uncertain in their meaning and inadequate in
substance. There is no provision in our
statutes for official inspection or recount
of ballots or even for the depositing of such
ballots in place OF safety.
"These defects in the law became startlingly
apparent after the special election Of last
September. They afford opportunity for
overriding the viii of the people as expressed
enter into another statewide election care
full and thorough revision Of these important
laws should be made by the legislature.
SIN order to comply with the requirements
both of our State law and OF the act Of Con-
gress concerning the division of the State
into congressional districts IL is necessary
that the legislature should pass redistrict-
ing bill before we again elect representatives
to the national Congress.
'sThe situation with regard to the prohibi-
tory law and its enforcement Is the cause Of
universal complaint and criticism. No think
ing man in Maine 10 satisfied with present
conditions. Those who are pleased with the
law are dissatisfied with the manner in which
1t is enforced. Others regard the law itself as
impracticable aud incapable Of statewide en-
foroement. The problem is vital and press
ing. The legislature should ind a means to
solve it, or, ut least, should be able to submit
to popular vote some one or more possible
solutions Of it.
I'm consideration whereof, I, Frederick w.
Plaisted, governor of the State Of Maine, by
virtue of the power vested in me by the con-
stitution, convene the legislature OF this State,
hereby requiring the senators and representa-
tives to assemble in their respective chambers,
at the capitol, in Augusta. on Wednesday. the
10th day of March, 1912. at 10 O'Clock in the
forenoon, In order to receive such communi-
cation as may then be made to them and to
consult and determine on such measures as
they may consider will best promote the well
fare Of this State"

cultural colleges. The story OF the past
fifty years is one OF wonderful progress In
research work, increasing aud extending
year by year, rendering to the average
worker a service OF incslcuiable benefit.
To-day these colleges occupy position
commanding the attention OF all classes,
and their influence ID all industrial lines
can hardly be measured. What the gov
eminent does for the people must always
be determined by the use the individual
farmer makes OF the assistance proffered.
The spirit OF paternslism manifest in the
creation and extension OF this department
must not be allowed to dwarf individual
effort. Intended to assist, the work OF the
department cannot be allowed TO supplsnt
individual effort or responsibility. The
bulletins find their place as promoters of
mental activity.
The real strength OF nation rests upon
the mental acumen OF individuals. I'm
less closely guarded, paternslism breeds
dependence, not self-conscious power, and
Il Is here that the policy OF the govern
ment has injured. The assumption OF
ability to solve all problems met by the
worker. by men trained by the book, has
distorted the vision OF many who other
wise would be most benefited by the re-
search work OF these scientists. The OBJ
legation IL clear. The lessons spread

SEED IMPROVEMENT.
Address by DR.. TwiteheIl at Meet
ing in Watervtlle.

address Dy Dr. IWftcheli at Meet
Ing in watervilie.
"What the United States Is Doing for
the Farmers" was the subject of an sd-
dress delivered by DIR. @. M. TwitcheIl, of
Auburn, at the recent meeting OF the
Maine Seed Improvement association in
Waterviile.
Agriculture, he said, was formerly
thought 70 be only an industry of labor,
that simple knowledge of the How,
compiled with strong muscles and q will
ingness to work long and hard, constituted
the sole qualifications for successful
farmer. In the awakening to the demand
for fuller and broader life there has re-
suited a condition rendering necessary
critical study and investigation beyond
the reach of the individual. So complex
have grown the conditions, so intricate
have become the relations, 80 far-reach-
ing are the possibilities that to-day,
single handed, the individual must fail.
The service the government is aiming
to render has become a necessity. The
department had its origin in the far
sighted wisdom of Washington, who in
IZ94 wrote: At will be some time before
an agricultural society with congressional
and will be established in this country.
We must walk, as other countries have,
before we can run. Smaller societies must
prepare for greater, but with the lights
now before as hope we shall not be SLOW
in maturation as other nations have been +"
In 1889 began the first distribution OF
seed. In 1872 the policy OF the govern-
ment in seed distribution, crop bulletins
and agricultural statistics became fixed.
Here was the dawning consciousness of
dependence upon an industry, then
greater than all others and claiming the
attention OF Q majority of workers in all
this country. Out Of this has grown the
greatest agricultural department on the
face OF the globe. In May, 1852, came the
creation OF an in Independent department and
one month later the passage OF the FIRST
Morrill, act for the establishment Of agri-
