A CANDIDATE INCAPABLE OF AN OPINION

Every man who is capable of judgment has some
kind of an opinion the Panama tolls question The
discussion of this question has been going on for two
years and from all points of view in Congress, in
public addresses in pamphlets and In the newspapers.
But there is a man in Paterson who has opinion
on the subject He is neither for against, nor
betwixt and between All this two years argument
has been utterly lost upon him. But he has vague
idea that he stands with the President a policy he
doesn't know anything about This curiously dull
individual is John j. OByrne, the Democratic candi-
date for Congress-
Sometimes queer characters get into Congress, and
the Lord only knows how they manage 1t. few of
them do it by looking wise and saying nothing when
they are candidates But this does not look
wise. On the contrary he confesses he is blockhead
doesn't know boo. On the greatest national issue
that has arisen since the Civil War he has opinion
and he astonishes the Seventh district by his reason
which is that he had never read the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
representative in Congress should at least know
boo The Seventh district is not populated by
tutored savages. Even the henchmen of Senator
Hughes have some intelligence They are capable of
an opinion or prejudice, and they presumably read
the papers, which, evidently the candidate doesn't do
The candidacy of this man Is therefore reflection
on the intelligence of the Seventh district But to
how he would vote the tolls bill in Congress Is
answered by his explanation that he for anything
that his employer and patron Hughes, favored, and
that he "agin anything the administration didn't
favor. In short, he echo of somebody else.
1t would be dscredit to the New Jersey Democ-
racy to send such to Congress to represent the
district But the paramount question in the cleo.

qur FATE OF THE FISH BILL.
JAMES SMITH, y Is.
FOUNDED MARCn 1. 1882.

FL, tb fret time in the history OF the New Jersey
Legislature the Assembly during the coming week wiz
vote ON bill for state conservation OF the great hsh-
Ing interests ON the Atlantic The bill is now in
the Assembly and will have its third reading II II
masses the Senate will then act upon it, unless some
furtive influence shall succeed in stranghhg or ue-
f,atins the bill before the adjournment.
rhis is the first time the people have been given 3
chaneo to get against the sh trust before
the Legislature and have their grievances aired and
the Fights of the State explained The Star almost
alone at forth all the surprising facts of the situation
and every member of the Legislature should have full
knowledge of these facts.
He should know, what is undisputed, that a com
bination in New York city has control OF the NE"
Jersey coast fisheries; that it has a monopoly of
purchase of the fish from the nets, paying TWO ana
one-half cents pound; that this fish is sold to the
New Jersey consumer for twenty and out of this
exorbant price the trust takes six cents pound III
the shape of tax that the trust is nonresident mas
no plant State and has no capital invested ana
that it takes millions of dollars from the people
The bill to be acted next week proposes TO
end this systematic public robbery 1t provides that
the State shall take the fisheries, which
are State property buy fish from the poundnet men
and after placing small tax on the output 10 give
me treasury about $500 900 of new revenue annually
sell the cheap prices that the consumer can
get this fish in the market at about one-hal1 Ihe
price he pays.
The issue on the question is plain. 1t lies between
private greed and the State and the peoples interests
The fish trust predatory interloper in this State
suuatter on our coasts. a private tax gatherer 1t
has no vested interests proprietorship, no fran
chise and no rights whatever There is not single
ground upon when 1t could defend its usurped prvi-
leges 1t is a monsrous parasite on the resources of
the State and the necessities of the people.
vote against the fish conservation bill must
needs be a brazen vote. 1t will be against public
policy against financial needs of the State, which
means the welfare of its institutions and the danger
ti State tax It will be vote against the people,
against justice and humanity. 1t will mean that the
people shall continue be subjected to robber tax
by foreign trust on one of the principal necessares
OF life that the State treasury shall be deprived
of upwards of 100000 OF income, SO badly needed
for the purposes of government. Who shall vote
against this bill?

MEANING OF THE DANIELS APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Daniels carried out theories of
the relations of the railroads to the public which
exemplifed in the veto of the Pierce Embarrassing
bill in 1872 in the two reports by the Public Utility
Commission protesting against the just principle Of
that BILL and in the refusal by the commission to take
single step carry out the act of last year giving
the commission discretionary power to order danger

The canal tolls question be boiled down to the
fact that the railroads want to cripple and destroy
waterway transportation competition in freights
across the continent by making the passage through
the canal too costly for steamers The riddle of the

Pierce BILL which also explains the Daniels appoint
ment and the confidently reported statements from
Washington that the demand for $4,000 900 in

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Westinghouses Prophecy of Southern Development

The late George Westinghouse was
invited by a commercial association
or so-called congress of the South
to address a meeting OF that
body which was to be held at Atlanta,
Georgia, in the spring of 1911. He
gladly accepted the invitation, al
though that involved the preparation
and delivery of an address. Mr.. West
inghouse was always diffident about
speaking in public, but he sometimes
prepared communications for the
newspaper press which, aside from
their inherent Importance, furnished
a fine revelation of the clearness with
which he thought and the facility
with which he expressed his thought
in appropriate and very lucid Ian
guage.
Shortly after his return from Attain

Mexico's Economic Future.

heAlcOb ECONOMIC
From the New York journal of Com
merce.
When the Mexican troubles first
became acute it was estimated by
some that not less than $1,000, 900, 600
of American capital was invested in
Mexican properties. Holdings by all
foreign nations combined were fig
ured as high as $4,000. 000,0 900 The
truth probably is that no one knows
with any degree of accuracy how
much such investments actually were
worth, except that they mounted up
TO a very large sum. 1t is, however,
equally certain today that a great
fraction of these enormous invest
ments has been destroyed. The in
come on very much greater frac-
ton has been suspended for a long
time, and bids fair to be Indefinitely
suspended 1t must be assumed that
at some time reasonable order will
be restored in Mexico. This may be
through the intervention of foreign
powers, or through the setting up of
a local dictator who proves himself
stronger than any competitors, or
the country may seek rest through
sheer exhaustion. However that may
be. the time must come when at least
degree of orderly and civilized ex-
istence ia restored. When such a time
