The obstacle in the way of navigable Passaic

city and Passaie. The charter OF the Dundee Land
and Water Power Company requires It to put lock
in the dam the charter could have been revoked
long ago for the default There has been talk many
times Of bringing suit for this, but the influence Of
the corporation and of the big mills at Passac which
it serves has always powerful enough to head of
the movement
It is now definitely announced that the power COM
pany is ready to put in the lock just the

THRIVE ONLY IN THE DARK.
Of living.

Former President Taft's vigorous characterize
ton of societies based religious prejudice IN
American politics despcsbe voices the sentiment
of every rational man. Says Mr.. Taft: such a
society is like cockroach-it thriyes in the dark
So do those who combine for such end and work
in secret and in the dark"
Secret societies that have political objects or that
be used in political partnership are threat to
any nation When they are based religious big
otry they are doubly threat Before Civil War
this prejudice was openly carried into politics. The
population then had not in familiar contact
With foreign people and paroohial.
The Civil War and immigration changed native
American thought They broadened the American
horizon. The population grew cosmopolitan. Today
the secret society that has political objects works in
the dark because American sentiment generally is op-
posed to Its prejudces.

A NOVEL CHARITY SCHEME.

A novel method of raising money for Christmas
charity was the adopted in Detroit, where more
than seventy prosperous merchants and professional
men, all former newsboys, sold papers the streets
for anything copy would bring. from the publca-
ton price up to a check for 800.
This was all right If it didn't cut the real
'newses'' out of their regular days trade and de-
priye many a poor boy of his merry Christmas
But 1t may be presumed that the Detroit people
bought papers from the grown-up amateur vendors
souvenirs and provided themselves with the usual
reading matter from the little fellows. This means
that the regular "newsies" should be overlooked
in the general distribution of good things

What South America Imports.

Manufactured merchandise of all
kinds and of the better qualities is
in great demand all over the conti-
nent and it can safely be said that
whatever will sell in New York,
Paris, London or other centerS will
sell in South America, the require
ments being similar as you go south
from the equator as when you go
north. The seasons are the reverse
of ours, which is to the advantage
of the northern manufacturer, for II
he Is accustomed to d dull period be-
cause Of seasonable merchandise, he
could keep his plant busy on South
American orders during these dull
periods-an export trade meaning
| the maximum of output with busy
plant the year around. Enough bust
ness to keep the plant going night
/ and day would mean overhead
charges cut in half or less--if an out
! let is all that is needed, then South
America Is the outlet.
! The advantage of this may be
! shown in textiles, for they usually
continue October to March the styles
/ and fancies we have worn from
| March to October proceeding,
fashions being influenced by Partisan
ideals as with us. 1t will be years
! before South America becomes q
manufacturing field, If at all, but as
q producer of raw materials will al
WAYS excel. Once get line estab-
lished and it will take care of itself
producing an outlet for years and
years, especially In trade-marked ar
ticles. With a consuming capacity
abreast that of Europe or America
they export crude materials and i'm
port manufactured products OF .
highly developed and modern civlli'
cation.

It's Christmas Eve. The snow is

my dollie's carriage?"
And the mother and father look at
the child intently, their gaze passes
one to the other, and, almost as
they respond to the child's question:
Eyes, little precious girl; there is
really and truly Santa Claus"
And the child passes off into the
Land of Dreams, content in her be-
lief that there Is a Santa Claus; that
he will bring her dolhe, and that her
papa and mamma know there ts a

forty millions go with the Rockefeller
tons.
The university or college takes the initiative in
every case and the Rockefeller board is only one

Second Funeral for Rich Woman Buried
First in Pauper's Grave.
CHICAGO. Dec. 22.-Jane Irvine,
who, for years was known as the
"old woman of the alleys" was
buried for the second time today. A
pauper's grave was her first. That
was a year ago when she died, SUP
posedly penniless, in the asylum for
the insane at Kankakee.
Funeral services were held for her
in the Episcopal Cathedral of SITS.
Peter and Paul, and Charles p. An
derson, bishop of Chicago, and Dean
Walter Taylor Sumner, who Is .
become bishop of Oregon next month,
officiated. II was through Dean
Sumner In whose care Jane left her
property-four trunks and three dry
goods boxes-when she was COM
mitted to the asylum, that her
money was revealed.
Search Of the trunks disclosed her
will. Bank books found in the boxes,
which contained hundreds of pack
ages, showed she had deposited ST.
$50 In Chicago. The will bequeathed
the money to the Bishop Of Chicago,
to provide decent burial to women
of the poor house."

mated to be seventy-f1ve years, wan

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES
Tho woman's Suffrage Amendment.

The woman's Suffrage Amendment.
From the Baltimore sun.
The right to vote ana the qualifica-
tions of the electorate have always
been conferred and fixed by the
States. The right to do this is one
Of the reserved rights of the States
which they have guarded with the
greatest jealousy. The constitution of
the United States never conferred the
privilege Of voting upon anyone.
Even in the election Of congressman.
which the Congress has the right to
control, the right of the several
States to fix the qualifications of the
voters is recognized. In the election
of members of the House "the cleo
tors shall have the qualifications req
uisite for electors Of the most nu-
merous branch of the State Legis-
lature." These qualifications are, OF
| course, fixed by the State In the
seventeenth amendment, providing
for the popular election of senator's,
proclaimed last year, In a time when
| the rights of the States received but
little recognition, the same clause is
incorporated.
Even the fifteenth amendment,
| which was forced into the conStitu-
| ton by the votes of carpet bag legis-
latures in the South, does not in terms
| undertake to confer the suffrage
upon the negro. The proposed wom-
ans suffrage amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, how
ever, does specifically interfere with
the right Of the States to determine
the qualifications of the voters for
the suffrage, and, worse than that, II
is proposed to force this measure up
on the people of those States that dc
not want 1t, provided the number SC
rejecting 1t does not exceed one
fourth of the whole. It is not fair
nor is it in accord with the system
of government which the originA
States accepted when they came jntc
the Union, that the Legislature OF
one State should say what people
: shall elect in the Legislature of an
) other State.
We are not now arguing against
| woman's suffrage. We are arguing
5 against other States forcing 1t upor
e States which do not want it. If the
( people of any State desire woman
: suffrage, 1t is in their power to confer
it without any appeal to Congress.

was himself the last witness, and the
exchanges between him and several
members of the committee were live
ly. He was not satisfied with the
committees course. nor the commit
tee with his, and there were mutual
assurances on the subject.
Now for the open fight on the
floor of the House. Both Mr.. Gard
ener and his opponents will be
heard there, and should have full OPP
portunity for an expression of views
and a presentation of facts. If pos
sible, the House, before voting on the
naval appropriation bill, should know
! naval conditions thoroughly.
In order that ii may know the
! House should not be gagged. No rule
should be adopted shutting off legiti-
mate debate. Let Mr.. Gardner and
/ those who hold with him, no less
! than those who take the other side,
/ have fair dealing in the discussion OF
/ q question so momentous. Legislat-
! ing without sufficient light is, as d
rule, either futile or disastrous.
All the more should the House take
| this course, for the reason that the
| Senate will be waiting for the bill
and will give 1t any attention the
| House may have denied. Mr.. Lodge
is armed with the same facts and
proposition Mr.. Gardner presents, and
under the rules Of the Senate will
be in position to use them for al
they are worth, at least for the pub
lie instruction. The Senate, fortll-
nately for the country, cannot BIZ
gagged. All efforts to that end have
failed.

Anne Judson had the distinction OF
