BARTLETT oUrDoNE BY GLIDER.

The five hundred-mile trip which Captain Bartlett,
OF the Sefansson Arctic ship karluk made alone from
Wrangel Island Alaska. to Siberia to get aid for his
companions was gallant exploit, but it did not COM
pare with that OF Colonel William H Glider, of this
city in his lonely trip of about two thousand miles
across Arctic Siberia TO the Lena Delta TO send the
news of the wreck of the Jeanette search ship the
Rodgers in Boring Strait, the entrance to the
Arctic Ocean The survivors numbered more than
hundred men, there limited supply of provisions
saved from the wreck. the country inhospitable
and barren OF game. and relief could not be looked
for any earlier than three years.

countered and appalling obstacles and perils
and he reached the Lena River. Turning southwark
he travelled several hundred miles and at little Rus

St Petersburg and sent the dispatch to Washington

PETITIONS FAIL THE ACID TEST.

What the public had reason to suspect is develop
ing in the examination of the signatures to the petit
lions for special election under the Walsh act sub
ntted to the city clerk for fling according to law
Many of the signatures cannot be verified, and If the
percentage of challenged names is kept up to the
close Of the investigation enough names will be
thrown out to inyaidate the petitions.
The manner in which the petition signatures were
obtained is explanation enough of the failure to
Identify the petitioner in cases 1t is seri-
Gus thing for citizen to subscribe his name to an
appeal for radical change i'll the municipal govern
ment and he should do only after thought and
With knowledge. and then write his name in good
plain characters And how was the work done?
Solicitors some of them hired. canvassed the city
for signatures, which obtained in all kinds of
nays and places. As of the promoters of the
petitions Acknowledges. some signatures were made
in trolley cars automobiles against the fronts OF
houses How many names we're signed in saloons de-
ponent sayeth not.
That a large number of names signed care
egsly has been made evident by the hundreds of ap
olications by signers to have their names removed
from the petitions.
The situation now revealed amply iustfes the
care of the city clerk have the petition signatures
verified before filing it. Mr.. Connolly insisted that
the appeal for a special election should be genuine,
and therein he expressed the emphatic sentiment of
tic Newark community. While he had doubt of
the good faith of the promoters of the petitions he
knew nothing of their agents and their methods. 1t
therefore his bounden duty responsible public
officer withhold the petitions until all doubt of the
commences of the legal number of signatures was
moved.
If the petitions fail those who got them circulated
for signatures are alone responsible for the failure

hensble to hire and tempt them by paying

ANOTHER YEARS GRACE FOR FOOD FAKERs.

BY the extreme tenderness of the Department of
Agriculture the food takers that preposterous sham
the guarantee label will continue to fool the
public for nearly two years more May 1 next year
the time originally set for abolishing this fraud,
but the time has been extended to the date of
1916 Just because some of the manufacturers have
large stock of the lying labels on hand and don't
want to put the of the paper and printing down
to profit and loss.
But is there not chance here for manufacturers of
honest foods and drugs the market by dis
carding the present deceptive label and adopting
with straightforward and truthful guarantee, on
their business honor that the goods unadulterated
and lust what they arc sold for?

JUSTICE Voorhees, SUCCESSOR.

The death of Justice Willard P. Voorhees,, of the
Supreme Court, makes vacancy which Governor
Fielder will fill by appointment. Justice Voorhees,
was Republican in politics and received his appoint
ment from Governor Fort IN 1908, and his term of
Office will expire next year. The lawyer appointed
now will also receive the appointment in January
next year.
The salary of $4,000 for associate justice Of
the Supreme Court With the certainty of second and
third term unless retirement may be necessitated by
age or infrmity is sufficient nducement to first
class lawyer accept the Office Justice Collins vol
unfairly quilted the Supreme bench because he could
earn much larger income IN private practise. But
MI Collins was an expert corporation lawyer and his
case was exceptional Governor Fielder should have
his pick of number of highly qualified Republican
lawyers for his appointment.

The Passing of oratOry.

tfoin the Providence JoLrndl
Now and then something happens
to remind the observant person anew
thai oratory In the old sense has be-
come an obsolete art. The fact IS
emphasized. not 30 much that It is
passing, but that it has already
nassed into the limbo OF antiquated
and outworn manifestations. The
Presidents recent address in New
York on the occasion Of the public
tribute to the men slain at Vera
Cruz was q conspicuous instance
He said the right thing and said It
with the utmost simplicity and sin
certify. OF the oratorical eloquence
af an older day there was hardly 2
trace.
Probably the new spirit in public
speaking was set In motion by Lin
eoln's Gettysburg speech. For the
t,5t time people realized that every
tang necessary to the point could lie
expressed in q few words. and that
an abundance of ornamental phrase
ology only tends to mar the genera!
effect. Whether the essence of a
speech be mental or sentimental,
simplicity and sincerity are nov
much more effective than the
rhetorical flowers of a famboyan'
rerbosity. An occasional silver
topgued orator" still finds warm
and wide response 10 his overdeco-
rated eloquence, but It is one Of the

rho doctrine and it's corollaries are

inherent in the soul of every woman.
But what is femlnisn? Is 1t, as the
superficial allege, the desire OF some
women to assume the work and the

men? Some women desire these
things, no doubt. But this is not
femlnism.
Is II the desire of few expert
mental spirits to abolish marriage and
substitute for lifelong monogamy

Is it the suggestion of certain reck--

forth by several daring writers, and

The twentieth annual Lake Mohonk
Conference on International Arbitra-
ton, while deploring the fact that
the history of the past year has been
disfigured by wars in both heml-
spheres. attended at times by shock
ing barbarities, recognizes unmistaka-
Bile signs of the advance of the public
opinion of the world towards the
peaceful settlement of international
disputes. The general peace Of Eu-
rope has been maintained in spite or
the grave situation in the Balkans,
and in the face OF threatened war the
American people have shown
praiseworthy self restraint and have
accepted with commendable spirit the
tender OF good offices made in accord
ance with the recommendations OF
the first Hague conference by our
sister republics of South America

ference OF mediators now in session
will result in an honorable and per,

What Hauls the Cars

glass. porcelain or composition, over
which the current cannot traYci.
The electrical current flows easily
and smoothly along the trolley Wire,
like water In a pipe, although 1t can
not be seen. Wherever this copper
trolley wire extends the electrical
power flows and is always ready ID
drive trolley car.
Each trolley car Is provided with Il
trolley wheel at the end OF the pole
which runs along the under side Of
the trolley wire. The electrical pow
er from the trolley wire flows
through this wheel and down the
trolley pole to heavily insulated
cable concealed in the top of the car.
This cable carries the electricity TO
the Controller" in the front of the
car. The controller is the iron box
which stands in front of the motor
man. At the top of this box are two
levers. The smallest lever is used to
turn on and Off the current supply
and the larger is used to control the
current, or to feed =" 1t to the
motors beneath the car in any guam
tity as desired. When the motorman
turns the controller handle a few
notches certain amount of electric
ity is allowed to flow from the over
head trolley wire down the pole,
through the cable and control box,
to the motors beneath the car. The
car starts and the motorInan turns
the controller handle further, feed
ing the motors more current, and the
car picks up to it's regular running
| speed.
The electrical current flows to tho
car over the trolley wire. After il
flows through the car via, the cables,
through the controller. the resistance
and the motors, it flows out of the
car through the iron wheels and
back to the power house along the
steel rails, thus completing the cir
cult
