AIRsHIP AND SUBMARINE.

There is an agreement on all sides that two great
needs of the United States airships and subma-
rines. It is singular and mortifying that both of
these indispensable weapons for the national de-
Tense had their origin in American invention We
neglected only partly developed them, while other
nations made them the most effective parts of their
ornaments
Germany especially has shown the possibilities of
the airship. The Zeppelin, with its ingenious ma
chinery its armor, capacity and speed, is wonder of
aerial architecture and this formidable weapon
in few years will be developed naval architecture
has developed the ironclad into the superdread-
nought.
The time may come when fleets of aerial dread
noughts may travel thousands of miles to engage an
enemy. In all probability, too, the great Zeppelin
feet held in Germany will show its potential
power in the present war next year.

Where the Law" Failed

Judge Thomas G. Haight, of the
United States District Court, has
gained q, host of friends among the
legal fraternity by his unquestioned
fairness. This impartiality has been
demonstrated on numerous occasions
in the past month while Judge
Haight was presiding in the New
ark branch of the Federal court. An
other trait which has won for him
considerable admiration is his frank
ness.
Last Thursday a government chem
list was testifying in an oleomarga-
rine suit brought by the government
Volumes of testimony were given to
prove or disprove that the oleomar-
garine in question was too highly
colored. Judge Haight framed the
question in the minds of many spec
tators when he asked the witness:
What is oleomargarine?
Surprise was expressed by coun-
sci for the defense that the court did
not observe the legal definition in
paragraph six (or something), Sec
ton six, of the internal revenue de-
partment report Counsel offered a
volume of the report to the judge,
who declined with thanks
"Yes, I've read that" said Judge
Haight, but it doesn't tell me any
thing"

THE PRINCE OF GAMBLERS.

The death of Richard Garfield the opulent art
eonnoisseur and noted New York gambler, after an
accident in which his skull fractured recalls this
past celebrity to the public mind For years Garfield
conducted the finest gambling palace on the conti-
nent and it embeshed with almost priceless art
treasures. As his patrons of wealth II not
of taste, it they who paid for the splendor of
their surroundings. District Attorney Jerome broke
up this establishment and Garfield went into exile, to
back finally and relapse into obscurity.
If Canheld wrote his memoirs and narrated his
experiences with men during his career as gambler
It would make fascinating volume. The revelation
Of the shady side OF high life in New York and of
the hidden lives of many well known in society
finance and great business enterprises would aston

A 1000, ,ooo, 900 ASSET NEGLECTED.

That there is legal way to finance the forty
billion-doar structure upon which the prosperity of
the nation permanently rests is perhaps the most
striking anomaly the economic fabric of the United
States That is what the farms of this country are
worth but energze this asset for living costs the
American farmer twice the interest he should pay.
This is the way which former President Brown of
the New York Central. now an Iowa farmer, puts a
situation which Congress is making to
remedy. There are measures before that body which
might far better be postponed than rural credits,
which we are assured will not be touched at this
session.

DEFECTS OF THE JURY LAW.

There may have been faults in the old system of
drawing juries-the law that gave to the sheriff of
county the power aud authority to select the jurors
and placing certain deep responsibility on him in
connection with this work. Fault found because
fault-fnding is habit with many.
But what of the new method? It's weakness is
being constantly exposed 1t a rarity when grand
Jury is sworn in nowadays with the full complement of
members, twenty-three. The twentyfourth man is in
Yariably excused when the twenty-fourth appears.
But he hasn't been appearing of late. The first sec
tion of the September grand jury forced to get
along with twenty-five men, the second section with
twenty and the present jury has but membership
Of twenty. Names were taken from the polling and
registration lists by the jury commissioner and the
sheriff and lists prepared for presentation to the court
This is the only course that may be pursued.
Among the names of men drawn for service have
been in several instances those of non-residents
Of persons otherwise ineligible for jury duty.
In Hudson county the present grand jury has but
nineteen members serving it, five having been dis
qualified, two having moved away the others being
sither seriously i'll or away from the county.
Such situations never existed under the sheriff
drawn Jury plan. The sheriff responsible for
the juries and he personally knew man called
upon to serve-knew beyond question that he was
eligible. within reach and not the sick list
Under the new and much vaunted jury law no
provided for filling vacancies of those who
may be unable to serve
Some lawyers inclined to the belief that con-
ditions might leave indictments open to attack by
crafty persons and cause trouble less Sc
Pious
Whether not there is anything in that idea
II Is plain that it is hardly practicable to investigate
the names of hve hundred before they placed
in a box. The fact that so many suggestions are
being made for amending the present law is the best
evidence in the world that the old law wasn't such
very bad old law at its worst.

GETTING OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES.

1t is quite certain that if the government and
nation could have realized in 1898 what the posses
sion OF the Philippine archipelago meant for the
United States Dewey would have been cabled TO sail
away after he had destroyed the Spanish feet We
have done altrustic work there since the archipelago
was occupied but for that will get little credit,

The Philippine bill to come up in the Senate on
Monday contemplates handing over the islands to
a native government at an early day. The fact is

Tears and Smiles Exchanged

With scenes constantly shifting,

County Physician William Fl. Nc
Kenzie encounters many experiences
most of them dealing with misery,
yet some having a grotesque side to
matters pathetic In other respects.
One of these was recalled. to his
memory some days ago while he was
making a business call at the Sec
ond precinct police station. The ip-
cident brought to mind occurred a
few years ago.
Word had been received at the sta
tion house that a certain man had

His wife or widow. as it was thought
was communicated with, and on her
arrival at the police station was tod
the sad news. She received the intel
ligence in such a pleased way that
the police officers were amazed. She
chatted merrily while the death of
her husband was being discussed and
occasionally laughed.
Suddenly Dr. Mckenzie drove up
to the station house, entered and said
to the captain:
"That was false report. The man
(naming the husband of the woman
who was listener) is not dead.
find him very much alive. Why he is
good for years to come"
At this the "bereaved" woman, who
had manifested no evidence of grief
before. began to cry. and without
further explanation left the building
still crying.
Recently it was learned that the
man died in another part of the State,
but as his death occurred through
natural causes and out of his baili-
wick, DR.. Mckenzie doesn't know
whether the widow wept or smiled on
that occasion.
