PARK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH MINISTER.

Rev Dr. Charles Lee Reynolds who has come TO
Newark to be the pastor of the Park Presbyterian
Church, begins his work at an opportune time In
Lexington, Kentucky where he efficiently served the
Second Presbyterian Church for ten years, he was
prominently identified with the educational and civic
interests OF the city Practically movement for
lifting higher the plane of human life and the spiritual
quickening of the community had his cooperation
This adaptation of his qualities of mind and spirit will
find responsive field in this city Just on the
threshold of her two hundred and ftieth anniversary
this city is about to enter period of expansion
and this situation cannot be contemplated without
consideration the that in whatever direction
expansion may CO. whatever may be its various
aspects it will be futile and meaningless unless the
spiritual progress of the community is kept clearly in
mind as the essential which gives meaning and value
to all else.
1t is the testimony of the newspapers of Lexington
that Rev. DIR. Reynolds has been more than pastor,
avng been publicsprited citizen engaged in various
kinds of community service opportunity appeared
The regret that is expressed at his leaving Lexington
members at his coming to Newark. The church field
he enters is large one, and in both church and city
there the work of organizing and directing the forces
that make for the highest social welfare. Newark is

its early founders is still with it. We welcome the

RussIA,s NEW OPEN DOOR.

An Arctic winters iron grip last year practically
shut off Russia from her allies by closing her only
free port Archangel and she has profted by the
experience and established harbor which, it is
expected will open all the year round. This is the
port of Ekaterina and its freedom from ice is due
the warm Gulf Stream which before losing itself in
Arctic waters back-washes along the Lapland and Muir
man coasts Ekaterina has well-shetered anchorage
where the water is nearly always calm while the
Arctic storms are raging. Elkaterna island, with its
steep cliffs forms an effective wnd-break and cargoes
can be unoaded at all times. There is from 60 to 80
feet depth of water in the harbor, sufficient for the
biggest vessels.
Early last spring American capital and engineering
started to connect this harbor with Petrograd by
railroad. Work was begun simultaneously at the
terminals and intermediate points, with the result that
the road was finished three weeks ahead of contract
time The route is largely through swampy country,
where every foot of soil had be made but American
skill and push did the job at the rate of hundred
miles of double track a month.
1t is known that large orders of American loco
motives being shipped to Russia, and no doubt
some of them are for this railroad. Russia thus
has an open door through which she may look at the
outside world the year round She should be able,
by means of this port, to receive sup
ply of munitions for her armies and also export
surplus grain to pay for much of her war mate
rial. And when peace comes the benefits of the new
harbor will be greater still.

DELAY THAT IS DANGEROUS.

Coast defenses at Cape May as part of the scheme
for properly fortifying the Delaware bay and river
have been included in the budget for the fiscal
year of 1917 by the department and Representa-
tive J. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia has taken the
matter up with the department at the suggestion
of the board OF trade of Cape May Financial condi-
tons however, the war department indicates, prevent
it proceeding further in the matter at the pres
time although the plans of the department CON
template that ultimately coast defenses will be
installed for the purpose of denying the use OF the
Delaware Bay to the warships and transports of an
enemy"
The subject of fortihcations along the Delaware
bay and river hinges largely upon the action of Con-
gress with respect the artillery This branch
of the service has been characterized in Washington
as 1.-The Cinderella of the department" General
Weaver. chief Of the coast artillery, after pointing
out that the United States possesses the most formid-
able system of defenses in the world in the mat
ter of equipment and forfeatons planned adds that
there had been no parallel attempt by legislation to
provide for manning it, and until such provision be
made our coast defenses eonnot be considered ade-
quate
There are three forts on the Delaware, all about
forty miles below Philadelphia, from which officers
and enlisted have been taken for service IN
other parts until only about 200 remain This cond-
tion is special the approaches to Philadelphia
applies to all sections of continental United States,
and is due largely to the fact that have to
safeguard colonial possessions The coast artillery
service as planned, contempates the use of State
militia for manning the coast Notifications, but only
few States have contributed to this service and
Pennsylvania Delaware and New Jersey are not among
them. General Weaver points out that the present
authorized strength of the regular artillery corps is
7O1 officers exclusive of chapains, and 1903 men,,
which, he observes $50 officers and 10,S2S enlisted
short of the number necessary to man our coast
Notifications under the approved policy And the per-
ssent delay of Congress in this matter is grave peril
to the safety of the nation.

As general thing the New Years good resolutions
OF people and communities pretty much the same
from one twelvemonth to another. Newark, however,
has a special new leaf to turn over for 1916, upon
which should be written the brightest chapter of It's
two centuries and half of history.
The year which begins with tonight's stroke OF
twelve will be marked by the cty's quarter-millennal
and the time is short-Qny four months-to the IN
auguration Of the jubilee with the music festival TO
make the entire celebration an event worthy of the
intellectual spiritual social and industrial achieve
ents of Newark spirit of gettogether and pull-to-
gether is needed and the time to adopt that spirit is
right
There could be no better New Years resolution for
Newarkers than for us all to promise ourselves and
each other to lay aside every petty jealousy and selfish
interest and to boost not knock the good old town
and the anniversary jubilee which means so much to
its fame and its future.
Leaving this thought with its readers The Star
wishes them one and all a happy and prosperous New
Year

THE STATE AND PUBLIC UTILITIES.

Is the time approaching when Federal and
State governments will have to face the choice be-
tween abandoning the regulation of public utilities
and taking their control and furnishing capital
to develop them? This grave question is raised by
Charles A. Prouy, director of the division of valua
tion of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
paper read before the transportation section of the
Pan-American Scientific Congress at Washington.
Ordinarily the owner of private property can do
what he likes with it, but when it has been invested
in public utility 1t is controlled by commission
which to large extent overrule the judgment
of the to its and can limit the return
to be earned therefrom. Would the owners of that
property have made the investment If they had FORE
seen what has come to pass? In the future even
larger must be had for the further development
of these utilities Can that money be obtained Will
private capital have sufficient confidence in the future
of such investments to venture upon them?
This much is certain, Mr.. Prouty points out: The
rate of return must be very much in of that
which the could borrow money for pro-
vding the utilities, and the question may finally
be- Can the people afford to regulate their utilities
is it better that the State should furnish the SER
vice at first hand?

The administration of equity Jurisprudence in New
Jersey suffers a marked loss by the retirement of
Vice Chancellor John r. Emery, the dean of the
Chancery bench, who has almost completed his third
term. Mr. Emery, the 29th of next month"; would
have rounded out service OF twenty-one years as
echancellor, having been originally appointed by
Chancellor McGil in 1895, and reappointed by Chan
cellors Magic and Pitney.
AT the age of seyenty-three Mr.. Emery feels that
he is entitled to spend the remainder of his days in
the rest with dignity which is earned by long and
honorable service to the State.
In his career member of the bar embracing
half century. and in his judiciary course, this dis
nguished alumnus of Princeton and resident of New
ark has fulfilled the highest traditions of New Jersey
learning, and integrity in legal and judicial
paths. That Mr.. Emery may enjoy many years OF
honorable retirement is the wish of his fellow citizens
of New Jersey and his townsmen of Newark.

Getting His Pace

A well-known business man tells
the following story about himself:
He entered a cigar store near the
busiest corner of the city and got into
one of the telephone booths. Persons
bibulously inclined were envious of
his condition. He appeared to have
stumbled across a wonderful thirst,
and wonderful opportunity to
auench it, at one and the same time,
and to have taken full advantage OF
the unusual situation.
His mental processes were not IN
the least clogged, no matter how hys-
terical his feet and knees may have
been. He asked for information, and
then asked If a certain person had a
phone.

"Freedom Of the Seas. !"

From the Chicago Journal.
Before American public men accept
the alluring phrase of freedom of
The SEAS" they should find out what
il means and what effect it is likely
10 have on our own country.
.'F'reedom Of the seas" according
to the gentlemen interested in shout
ing IL. means an end TO all blockades.
II means that no matter what wars
NAV rage ocean commerce must go
unmolested Since this can not be
assured while any nation or league
possesses preponderating fleet,
freedom of the seas" implies prac-
ticaliy an end of all navies and naval
warfare.
Apply this doctrine to our own his
tory and prospects. The French naval
control of the sea, though 1t lasted
but a short time, enabled Washing
ION to bag Cornwallis at Yorktown

colonies. The union blockade, more
than any land victory, crushed the
eonfederacy. The American fleet
ended the Spanish war at Santiago,
and our navy would be our hope of
success against Japan II we ever had

letter of resignation from the Com
mittee of One Hundred appearing in

recalling the editorially published
base and sinister innuendos whi n
provoked the resignation, found 1t
an extremely difficult matter to
effectively resist the call of the pen.
Mr.. Editor, l am indeed sincerely
happy that the columns of your pa
per have no share in this bold and
calamitouS attempt to assassinate a
good and honest mans desire for
noble, wholesome and unselfish SER
vice to the people of our community.
Let any honest, fair-minded, JUS

and logically conclude that the edi-

cause the facts incident in the case
completely tear the veil from the
dark and hidden monster within.
Here are the facts. Mr.. Murphy's
whole life's record, his wide range
of helpful and beneficial public
service, his many private acts and
deeds of kindness, his breadth of
unimpeachable character and un-
swerved vision, his natural unset
fishness, the love and alteration that
his neighbors and fellow citizens
bear for him, all of this acts as and

Lafayette S. Foster, who in par
represented Connecticut in the Unite
States Senate from 1854 to 1867, an
who was president pro-tempore of tn
Senate when Lincoln was assas
sinated, and would have been Presi-
dent had Atzerodt succeeded in his
attempt to assasSinate Vice-President
johnson, used occasionally, after he
retired from the Senate, to tell his
friends some of his recollections of
the great men with whom he was as
Senator associated in public life. 1t
is impossible for me to repeat the
precise words Senator Foster used
in the story he told his friends of the
reception Stephen A. Douglas met
with when he returned to the Senate
after he had been elected, in 1858, hav-
ing beaten Abraham Lincoln for the
Senatorship. 1t is possible, however,
to give the substance of Senator Fos-
ter's narrative as 1t was afterward
told to me.
In the now traditional debate be-
tween Lincoln and Douglas, in 1858,
Lincoln with great ability and con
summate shrewdness compelled Doug
las to make some admissions respect
ing the slavery issue, for otherwise
Douglas could not have held all his
Northern constituency. These admis-
sions, however, were not we'll received
in the South, and Lincoln knew they
would be criticised. 1t was, in fact,
due to them that Douglas lost the
support of many of the leaders of
the South for the Presidential NOM
ination of 1860.
The Senate had abandoned the old
Senate chamber and entered into pos
session of the room which 1t has occu-
pied ever since, but Douglas did not

ppear to take mis- seat until some
eeks after the Senate had assembled
I the new place. He therefore was
tranger to the new Senate chamber
when he appeared before the Vice
President and was sworn in.
Many of the Senators eyed him
furtively and curiously. They watched
to see how he would be greeted by
the distinguished Senators from the
South, who represented that wing of
the party whose hostility Douglas had
incurred when speaking in reply to
Lincoln. Some of these Senators did
not greet him. Many others, however.
greeted him cordially, and especially
Jefferson Davis, between whom and
Douglas long acquaintance had ex-
listed.
At last William H. Seward, who at
that time was regarded as sure to OBJ
tain the Republican nomination for
President in 1860, crossed the aisle and
with much cordiality welcomed the
distinguished Democrat, who, many
believed, would be Stewards opponent
in the presidential campaign. The
two men were the center of observa-
tion. Senators wondered what they
found to talk about, but in a moment
or two they saw Seward take Doug
las by the arm and lead him around
the Senate chamber while at the same
time he pointed out the many archi-
tectural beauties and characteristics
of the room as though he realized
that Douglas would appreciate cour-
tesy of that kind. The two men
seemed to be deeply interested in this
inspection of the place, and when it
was over Douglas took his seat upon
one side of the aisle and Seward re-
turned to his place upon the other.
