Secretary of State Wm.J Bryan is be
ing criticized because he is taking a va.
cation and while doing so is talking Oh
the C~hautauqua platforms. If he were
to go to some place for six weeks and
keep silent, OF make a tour around the
world at the Governments expense as
w. H. Taft did when in Roosevelt's
cabinet, SO much would not be thought
of his vacation. But it is his talk that
annoys his political enemies. 1t used
to be thought that the Government
would be wrecked with him in a head
office, but nothing startling has hap
pened since he became Secretary of
State nor on July 4th when he was
acting President i'll the absence of
both the President and Vice President,
Since MI. Bryan was born to crate and
the people enjoy it SO immensely by
being willing to pay him big for it, his
opponents should consider the truths he

AprOpos of the coal probe being con-
Quoted by a special committee OF the
Assembly, those who have looked into
the prices of coal declare that Its pres
ent high cost is due largely to the fact
that the coal carrying railroads have
full control of the waterways from the
mines to tide water. This kills freight
competition, it is charged, and enables
The railroads 10 maintain a monopoly of
the freight rates. 1t is claimed that on
this account the freight rates are much
higher than they should be, adding at
least $40 per ton more than necessary
to The price of coal in most sections OF

The Wharton Tract

South Jersey people have reason to
rejoice over the decision of the court of
chancery unfolding the constitutionalty
of the law authorizing the issue of
bonds to the amount of of a million
dollars by the State Water Supply Com
mission for the purchase of the Whar-
ton tract. The suit was a friendly one,
instituted by the attorney general to
clear away the doubt that existed as to
the light of the legislature to author
ize this debt.
The constitution limits the amount
of state debt that may be contracted
without a vote of people to 500, 900.
But the Wharton water tract bonds do
not constitute a state debt, the court
holds, being a lien only upon the prop
erty purchased, and being issued by
the State Water Supply Commission. Ii
there should be default in payment of
interest or principal, the ~bondholders
would have TO fall back on the proper
ty. the ~states's credit not being pledged.
This decision removes the last obsla-
Gle to the commission entering into
possession of this great water and forest
tract, insuring public ownership of the
only large potable water supply i'll this
part of the state. The bargain is a
good one from the public point of view,
and future generations will bless the
day that this tract and it's water rights
was preserved for their use.-Camden
Post-Telegram.

Jersey Officials OVer-paid

A few years ago the Legislature Gre
ated a State Economy and Efficiency
Commission to consider the cost of
the different departments of tue State
Government AM compare the cost with
what other states pay.
Last Monday the Commission gave
out a statement hitting hald the salar-
les paid to many of the higher officials
OF New Jersey, and saying that this
State was paying from 20 per cent. to
so per cent. higher salaries, according
to relative value, than other states of
the same size and Importance in the
Union.
The commission particularly lays
stress on the salaries of the Governor,
Judges and Chancellors, the latter two
classes increased $4,000 in the last
Legislature. The commission says on
this point:
New Jersey pays her Governor $10,.
600; Indiana, 1885, SO; Connecticut,
$4,000; Maryland, 81, 500; Iowa, $1,000
New Jersey pays her chief Justice
and Chancellor $I3 900 each, and the
Associate Justices and Vice Chancel-
lors $4,000 each; Indiana pays her
Judges between $1,000 and $1,000;
Connecticut pays her Chief Justices,
SIS. 900 and Associate Justices, 81 500;
Maryland, Chief Justice, $500; Asso-
ciates Justices, $1,000; Iowa Justices,
5 5000 each.
The commission also goes over the
$4,000 salaries paid to State Treasurer,
Comptroller, Supreme Court and Cham
Gerry Court clerks, the $40, 900 salary
paid to the State Commissioner of Edu.
cation, and shows that in the States
named above most of these salaries
range between 81, 500 and 1900.
Clerk hire is put down in these rel
alive States as 20 per cent. lower than
in New Jersey.
The story has made a sen 3ation be-
cause of the increase in salaries OF the
Justices at the last Legislature, and
also because of the statement of Gov
ernor Fielder that the State is rapidly
getting to a point where a State tax
may become necessary. The Economy
Commission points To the recently in
creased salaries as wrong from an eco-
nomic standpoint.
The Commission on Efficiency and
Economy might find similar food for
thought by considering the increased
salaries given County Judges and Pros
ecutors, the increased salaries given
Superintendents of schools and the ex-
penses of County Boards of Taxation.

Scientific ShoVeIing

For a first-class shoveler there is a par
ticular shovel load at which he will do
his biggest days work with no increase
of effort on his part. To determine what
this load is, a series of tests were made at
the works of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany. Experienced shovelers, who could
be depended OH to do trustworthy work,
were selected and tests were made with
shovel loads varying from 5lb. to 40lb.,
with the result that a load OF Glib. was
found to be the one giving the greatest
efficiency. With the Glib. load a SHOW
eler will do as much as 20 per cent more
work than with loads that are a great
deal more or a great deal less than this,
and with less effort-From the July Pop

AS to That ssWar Scare.''

Perhaps you didn't hear about it,
United States the other day. Nobody
took to the woods, so far as we know,
but nevertheless there was a genuine
scare In national official circles because
Secretary of War Dickinson had pre-
pared a report showing so alarmingly
the weakness of our army that Presi-
dent Taft suppressed it, though as a
matter of fact it got into a few of the
newspapers.
The suppressed report" and the dis
cussion evoked thereby drew forth a
large body of comment from military
and naval men. Naturally a military
man, who earns his living by his sword
at rest or in action-wants an in
creased army establishment. And just
as naturally a naval man wants a
larger navy. All the navy experts are
enthusiastic for the building of battle
ships, big one and plenty of them.
They maintain that the most effective
means of protecting the United States
against foreign invasion is to build a
navy powerful enough to scare off any
enemy who tries to board" us, so to
speak. On the other hand, the army
men want heavy coast defenses and
more soldiers.
The discussion should serve to bring
about the wisest and safest conditions
of national defense possible in the
premises, but somehow the whole ques
ton as to how big our army should be
reminds one of Abraham Lincoln's re-
ply when somebody asked him how
long a mans legs ought to be. Just
long enough to reach the ground" said
Mr.. Lincoln. Our army should be large
enough to fit it's job.
