FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 80, 1914
NEWARK AS OTHERS SEE IT.

In conversation at Trenton about the principle OF
municipal home rule member of the Senate made
this comment upon the city of Newark:
"If all the cities of the State we'll and
intelligenty governed and had wde-awake people,
would say that the Legislature should have no say
whatever in the affairs of municipalities. have some
knowledge of Newark's government. You know that
local is simply reflection of the character
OF the population The stream rises higher than its
source. And have admired the way things done.
/ don't know progressive town. Why, It is
constantly giving lessons in government to other New
Jersey cities"
And these comments just. Despite croakers,
Knockers and reaconaries Newark has steadily pro-
crossed in all the things that contribute to the well
fare of its people, and is far in advance of all other
municipalities in New Jersey in every essential re-
spect 1t is both the admiration and of the resi-
dents of other sections Of the State.
And what city in New Jersey the United States
has better prospects than Newark? We have won
derful natural advantages and have seized them for
the public benefit Newark is the only city of the
State that is developing its water front Jersey City
permitted railroad and foreign steamship corporations
to take all her Hudson river front except single
small dock and has not yet taken practical step to
develop her back door on the Hackensack
But Newark is particularly distinguished for it's
care of human interests It's public school system is
superior to that of any other New Jersey city; it's
public health system is superior, its public hospitals
are beyond compare, it's water supply has no equal,
and it excels in many other similar respects. And
the is the superior civic spirit and sagacty of
the voting population of city.
We usually elect mayors with progressive
ideas, plain men of the people, who in close and
sympathetic touch with the people. Where we have
been hampered and INSTRUCTED we can lay the cause
to the Legislature and the knockers.

THE Bt,AoK "REpUBLrCr AGAIN

The pestilent apologies for republics that exist on
the island of Sano Domingo thorns in the side OF
the United States government Another of the con-
stanty recurring revolutions the island, just be-
gun, has brought upon our government the necessity
of sending a regiment Of marines and a battleship
to protect foreign life and property.
The island is probably the most fertile in the
world and the -egro and mulatto population should
be prosperous and happy. On the contrary they are
frightfully misgoverned are densey ignorant, and
most of the people abjectly poor. More blessed
by nature with natural riches than any other people,
the islanders live in wretched conditions than

than the domination of set of brutal political game
STEERS who have patriotism and intent only on
self-enrchment
1t Is melancholy that after many years of expert

failed utterly to exhibit capacity for selfgov-

they will Philanthropy dictates that the strong
but kindly hand of the American government should
take hold of the islands affairs and give its people

Whv Sheridan Removed General Warren

Warren asked Father knew that
General Warren was previously hurt
because he was removed by General
Sheridan and believed that the ae-
ton was reflection upon his mill
tary ability and conscientiousness

son was. And 1t was a reason which
would have made a court of inquiry
useless. He said that the general

agement. He must, therefore, know
what the peculiar abilities as well
as the peculiar limitations of
subordinate officer are. No man
could have spoken in higher terms
of General Warren's ability than
father always did. On the other hand,
he felt that there were certain limi-
tations, due perhaps to disposition,
to procrastinate, to take excessive
care, which in certain contingencies
would affect General Warren's abili-
ty to carry out certain orders. The
battle of Five Forks was to be an
important one, since upon it father
depended for success to divide or
break through General Lees lines.
He therefore authorized Sheridan,
in case he thought the exigencies of
the situation justified 1t, to displace
General Warren because he was ap-
prehensive that those peculiar limi-
tations might impair the movement.
"Now, a generals judgment of his
subordinate is not a matter for a
court of inquiry. Furthermore, had
there been court of inquiry father
would have been compelled to TESTIFY
that Warren was removed because,
in fathers opinion, the situation was
one which compelled a kind Of lead
ership in which Warren was want
ing. Therefore, father thought
court of inquiry would be useless,
although he fully appreciated Cen
eral Warren's feelings. The time
would come. he said, when explana-
ton for the action could be given.
But 1t did not come until father
reached the description of the battle
of Five Forks in the latter part Of

From time to time after General
Fred D. Grant returned from his
service in the Philippines l had in
teresting and always pleasant con-
versations with him and was graft
fled to know that he welcomed sug-
gestions which led to "reminiscences on
his part of his association with his
father and of comments made by mis-
father to him respecting some of the
higher officers of the Union as well
as the Confederate army.
/ happened to mention TO General
Grant one day that General Fttz-
John Porter told me that he knew
of no case in which a greater dis
play of moral courage was made
than that of General Grant when
he published an article In which
he asserted that he had become con-
vinced that General Porter had been
unjustly convicted by court martial
on account of charges made against
him for conduct in the second battle
of Bull Rim.
"Well," said General Fred Grant,
81 don't think my father ever looked
upon his action as one that involved
moral courage. Father was the
most lust man I ever knew In the
and no one could make swifter
acknowledgment OF an error af-
ter he was persuaded that he had
erred, especially in any matter re-
lating to the conduct of an officer
"You may remember that there
were many criticisms of my father
because he would not aid General
Gouverneur X. Warren in securing
a court of investigation which would
have authority to pass upon the fact
associated with the removal Of Gen
eral Warren by General Sheridan at
the battle of Five Forks, Va, which
compelled General Lee rapidly to
abandon Richmond.

speak of General Warren, and he

Mrs. Elizabeth Brighton bears the
distinction of being a successful
writer, who did not begin to write till
she was past sixty years of age. She
was born in England October so, 1880,
and was brought up in the home of a
childless uncle. She had little regular
education. but from the earliest years
of her childhood she was Accordingly
interested in natural history. At
twenty-five she married banker of
London. Then followed many years
of invalidism, during which she was
deprived of friends, books and nature.
On the death of her husband she was
left, childless, in the possession of a
beautiful secluded estate. Here there
was an extensive woods, lake ana
a wonderful garden and shrubbery,
and amid these surroundings Mrs
Brighton's interest in nature was re-
vived and she spent her days in the
closest study of plant and insect life.
For several years she made notes of
her studies and then when she was
over sixty years-old she put these
notes into book form and published
this under the title wild Nature

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

Is the desire OF men and women to
help one another and to defend their
country, to destroy the barriers class
selflshness has reared, to translate
the dream of human fraternity into
a present verify. Even amid the
lnxuriously idle. the supposed Incur
ably frivolous, the disdainfu1 gen.
tility that shrank from rags and
squalor, there has arisen the spirit
of earnest conservation that shall re-
deem the better self of man, even
through the travail. the despair and
the black ruin wrought by war.
Breeding Detectives.
From the Chicago Journal.
The efforts OF the "psychopatholo-
gists' to lay practically all crime to
mental deficiency Is foredoomed to
failure. The quality which our an
cestor named the "old Adam" and
which cowboys know as pure orneri-
ness is responsible for q very large
share of human misdeeds. Then. too,
it Is doubtful If the science of ana
lyzing the human mind has advanced
far enough to permit of the exact
classification In which its advocates
love to deal When a lecturer talks
about the mental age of moron
being S.71 years the suspicion will
not down that the learned gentleman
is guessing at half and multiplying
by two. rather than following any
soberer system of measurement and
mathematics. Yet in spite of all dis
counts the psychopathologist has
grasped a great truth and If his ex-
aggerations help him to bring that
truth home to society one would be
loath to curb his reforming zeal. That
truth. is that the unrestricted breed
ing q mental detectives Is muddylng
the whole stream of social life. These
subnormal creatures are responsible
for a vast quantity OF pauperism.

constant charge on tho community,

Rritaln,. oerman Sen lord.


Britain's German Sea Lord.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Great Brltain's first sea lord, COM
mander- chief of the British navy,
is Prince Louis of Battenberg, a Ger
man by birth and the holder of a
German title. He was born at Crate
in 1854, and is a son of a Hessian
prince by a morganatic marriage with
the daughter of a Polish general. One
of his brothers, Alexander. was ruler
of Bulgaria from 1879 to 1885, when he
was compelled to abdicate. Another
brother, Henry, married Princess Bea-
trice
Louis was naturalized in 1868, when
he entered the royal navy as a cadet
He advanced through Nle various
grades, always showing merit, until in
1911 he attained the rank Of first sea
lord
No one, apparently. questions the
ability of Prince Louis. No one who
has even the most meager personal
knowledge of him doubts his devotion
to the British cause. But the mere
fact that he is Perman prince and
burdened with a German appellation
has aroused a storm of popular pro-
test against his retention as active
head of the British navy. His removal
is demanded by the populace, and
some of the newspapers. while affirm
ing their complete confidence in the
princes patriotism and integrity, rec
ommend his dismissal as a concession
to popular sentiment.
Such prejudice does little credit to
the British. They might with a most
equal logic demand the abdication OF
their king, for George ", though
British by birth, is of almost unmixeo
German blood. In these days the an
cestry and place of nativity of kine
or prince is of little moment. When
one of them, like Louis of Battenhcre
serves his country faithfully and eff.-
GENTLY he deserves gratitude, regard
less of any accident of birth.

Personal Experience of Sufferers in the
War.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
When at last the time comes to
write the history of The war there Will
be an embarrassment of riches In the
material afforded by personal REM
iniscence of privation and suffering
There was never before a struggle
that concerned SO many highly civil
lized nations. that spread havoc
through so many famous seats of cul-
ture and learning situated In the GUS
tomary round of travellers. The cities
that are despoiled are not GASES Of
Turkestan, and the pillagers are not
Kirghiz and Kalmuck tribesmen.
The news dispatches do not bristle
with unaccustomed names, as in the
Balkan war
We who read and lament are upon
familiar ground, and can think of the
ruined places as they were when last
we saw them. 1t is an intimate, per-
sonal grief to realize that memorials
of the past, guiltless of any grievance,
the shrines and fanes of the ideals of
the ages, have been irreparably hurt,
to say nothing of the horrible tales of
the maltreatment of the defenseless
and the -combatants, which are
but too easily verified
The letter OF Madame Loyson,
deepens the sombre colors of the
tragic depletion OF other pens.
The writer is one of many self
