der. The only way to feel the deep
sense of that eclipse was in silence,
then one marvelled at it's splendors-
such sky picture as in reality made
it what New York reporter felici-
tously called the greatest show on
earth" Those who stood in groups
over the Palisades could only drink
in the great picture as one in no sense
of earth, but something so heavenly,
so divine as to be impervious to words
in attempted description. 1t all
brought back the old thought,
God moves in mysterious way
His wonders to perform"
and then one could say nothing more,
except to wonder at the marvels OF
science that could SO definitely place
the very moment and the area over
which this majestic happening was
to occur. And when one thinks that
not person living within the radius
of the eclipse's path will ever see an.
other, the marvels of astronomy are
still further impressed. The 1925
eclipse came off before the largest
audience of all record, estimated at
over 30,000,000 people.

NO CRIME WAVE, SAYS MORAN

Thomas McCran, former Attorney
General of New Jersey, told Hudson
County audience the other night that
there is no crime wave at the present
time in America
The thing that is mistaken for a
wave, according to Mr.. McCran, is
startling GROWTH of crime.
That is something to think about.
There is a vast difference between a
wave of crime and a steady growth
of crime.
The former Attorney General gave
several reasons for the growth of
crime.
One reason is the enormous growth
of laws. There are so many laws that
the people do not know how to obey
them. There are so many laws that
are not workable that people natural
ly acquire habit of law breaking
that becomes second nature.
If the State says, by law, that auto
mobiles shall not exceed twelve
miles an hour in cities and not one
person in ten thousand pays any at
LtullOu " tlldL lllC pCOpiC Sio"
to disrespect that law, ad deliberate
ly lie on occasions when they are ar
rested for minor offenses. They
know they are lying, and they know
that the police and the local magis-
trates know they are lying. And yet
that ridiculous law stays on the
statute books, to be broken every
hour of the day, in every city in the
! State.
If they can break motor laws,
others who do not own motors feel
that they can break few laws them
selves. The storekeeper feels that he
can break the old Blue laws, and the
theatre owner is called upon, through
| public demand and public opinion, to
break the Sunday laws.
If the motorist and the storekeeper
| take upon themselves to break laws
that suit their convenience, others
who object to the Volstead Act feel
they have right to break that law.
And others who feel that there are
probably more laws broken than OBJ
served feel that they can take the law
into their own hands, ana they COM
nit murder
Crime is growing; Mr.. McCran is
probably right; it is more develop
ment, more a growth than wave.
The enactment of laws is also
growing; it is more than a growth,
more than a development: it is al
most an epidemic, and has been for
several years past
1t is time to stop enacting so many
laws, and rescind few. Those that
cannot be rescinded should be amend
ed so that they will be workable and
enforceable.
When the laws of the State are the
kind that fit in with a proper and
sane regulation Of the things the peo-
pie want and are entitled to, then
there can be better enforcement, and
the development of crime may be
checked-Hudson Dispatch.

ly song and insectivorous bird, with
no gamey qualification. Since that
time, with the exception of the brief
period when the regulations of the
Federal Migratory Bird Law protect
ed the bobolink in New Jersey, and
the equally brief protection of the
1921 Audubon law, repealed the fol-
lowing year, the Society has fought
the battle for the bobolink continuous
ly. to the limit of it's resources.
The Audubon Society declares that
propaganda against bobolink protec-
tion rests entirely on misrepresenta-
tion. Quoting from United States
Department of Agriculture experts, it
shows that in the five months the bird
is to be found in New Jersey, insects
form an average of 571 percent, veg
etable matter (chiefly weed seed) 42.9
per cent of its food. In May and July
insects form so per cent and in June
80 per cent, falling off rapidly through
August and reaching minimum in
September. In August, however, the
food is from 65 to 20 per cent weed
seed, and from the first of September
this increases rapidly to nearly 100
per cent.

THE ECLIPSE

The total eclipse of the sun last
Saturday was the most successful and
perhaps the most wonderful ever seen.
The atmospheric conditions were Pc
culiarly fit, literally perfect, in that
in the Eastern States there was not
a cloud visible. In this section OF
New Jersey 800 feet above the Hud-
son. and just opposite New York, the
whole Palisades cliffs were lined with
New Workers who swarmed to that
fine vantage ground for the best avail
able view. Up as far as the clins
of Coytesville thousands journeyed.
There were scores of cameras in use
all over Palisade and Fort Lee and
some fine pictures were obtained
The interest everywhere, was, of
course, intense before the eclipse be-
gan and during its progress towards
totality. But at the climax when the
rim of blazing fire was hung around
the sun in the heavens, and while the
deepest shadows were everywhere,
there were thousands of exclamations
of wonderment and appreciation.
There were many very aged people
looking on, those above sixty, seventy
or even eighty who had never seen
the glories of an eclipse, and these
could only stand in abject awe and
alteration. The great spectacular mo-
ment when the period of totality pass
ed like a hurricane burst of light
slipping suddenly into view came as
a huge fash up there that was of
bewildering beauty and glorious won

Observation-Disclosures

Do you know what an editorial
somersault is? Or what an editorial
conniption fit is? Well, If you don't
know what either of these intellectual
gfeats in mental gymnastics really is
it is easy to tell you.
Every time anybody dares to men,

ciated with the United States OF
America certain editors turn SOM
ersault OF these intellectual athletes,
Arthur Brisbane, man of great abili-
ties and great fortune, made with the
wit of his pen, and who is William
Randolph Hearst's handy man and
biggest asset, is easily the champion.
He frequently reminds one of that
great circus performer, George Batch
ellor, who used to turn double SOM
ersault. The ring master of old would
stand on the edge OF the circus ring
when Mr.. Bachelor was about to ap-
pear and in the typical ring masters
voice, loud and beautiful to hear, say,
Ladies and gentlemen! Mr.. George
Bachelor will now perform the very
difficult and dangerous feat of turning
a double somersault-that is, turning
twice in the air after leaving the baton
board" Mr.. Brisbane has now grown
so used to this trick of turning SOM
ersaults that doing these double is as
nothing at all to him. 1t doesn't take
much to get him to perform either.
The World Court is just as much of
a red flag to him as the League. At
heart a recent stalwart champion of
President Coolidge, Mr.. Brisbane has
. knsg Ibis praises much that one
would think he dipped his pen in a
fountain bouquet dye. Mr. Brisbane
doesn't want to express any baleful
criticism of Mr.. Coolidge, but since he
dared this week to express willing
ness to join the World Court as pro-
fessional member, and to gratuitously
as we'll as felicitously express the be-
lief that the World Court is the surest
highway through which to WOO the
Goddess of Peace, Mr.. Brisbane has

American:
an the way of national news, if that
should interest you. it seems that the
country is drifting toward European
entanglements via the World Court
and the German reparations agree
ment
."First we threw billions upon billions
into Europe recklessly, squandering
other tens of millions in graft and
waste here at home.
Now, itching for few miserable
hundred millions, we send people to
Paris, to tie this country up in all
sorts of uncertain European obliga
tions.
"And this is done in spite of the
fact that the nation has voted twice,
with seven million votes to spare,
against any League of Nations non
sense. 1t ought to be possible for
the Government to understand the
meaning of the votes cast in 1920 and
1924. Europe understood the voting
we'll enough, but hopes that American
statesmen, so called, will pay little
attention to the expressed will of the
public"
OF course, Mr.. Coolidge seeing this
will at once signal his champion that
the Court is all off and we shall go

Street Railways Will
Spend S342, 200, 900 on
Improvements In 1873

Expenditures of the electric rail-
ways of the United States in 1925 are
expected to aggregate s342,00O,OOO.
That total, explains the New Jersey
Public Utility Information Commit
tee, would be an increase of 80 per
cent over the 1924 total expenditure,
1852, 700, 900. Both totals are exclu-
sive of labor costs.
1t is estimated the electric railways
will spend $211, 100000 for new plant
and equipment, an increase of SO per
cent over the S73, 100000 expended for
that purpose last year.
The remainder of the $342,000,00O
total includes an estimated total of
S13O,5OO 900 for maintenance mate
rials and supplies.
Expenditure for new plant and
equipment include such items as new
cars and car equipment, track tools
and materials, shop machinery and
tools, power equipment, buildings and
structures, and other items which Will
become permanent part of the COM
panies' plants.
The expenditure for maintenance
materials and supplies includes regu-
lar repair and maintenance work in
all company departments, and supplies
and materials required in operation
and requirements.
The figures, of course, represent
only a part of the enormous outlay OF
moneys by the electric railway indus,

and charges to capital account.

was highly interesting, but why not

number of street railway companies
furnishing that transportation facility
increased in 1924 from 121 to 156.
Approximately $500 buses are be-
ing operated by street railway utili-
ties in the United States. The num-
ber of buses in street railway auxil-
iary service at the close of 1924 was
approximately twice the total for the
previous year, and the expansion was
confined in no one section of the coun-
try.
During 1924 the largest single addi-
ton to the number of buses operated
by any one street railway in this
country was the fleet Of 500 ordered
by the Public Service, which operates
the largest bus fleet in the United
States.

With the convening of the State
Legislature, comes the announcement
from the headquarters of the New

that the fight for right and justice
in behalf of the bobolink and its ben

L <vTvHERE is nothing that the United
States and Japan need go to war

about, says representative OF
the ruling party in Congress.
"There is nothing to be gained by either
one out of war.
"There are riches and glories enough to
be won on the Pacific Ocean out of peaceful
rivalry to satisfy both countries"
Exactly so-no American thinks other
wise No American thinks this country
needs war with another nation. No Ameri-
can thinks anything is to be gained by war
with japan. No American thinks America
or any other country should monopolize the
riches and the glories of Pacific
The statements are true. The argument is
correct But, besides the argument, there
are the FACTS.
Never before in American history, have
such efforts been put forth by a government
as have been put forth by the United States
Government first to please and then to ap
pease Japan. The retreat of American diplo-
macy before Japan has been without prece-
dent or parallel.
TO please and appease Japan, the Ameri-.
can people have seen a President interfere
to stop the w-giving body of the sovereign
State of California in the constitutional dis
charge of its functions. They have seen an
American Secretary of State hurried across
e a.
country-to the same State and for the same
purpose They have seen an American Presi-
dent IN Paris yield up for the same purpose
the German islands in the Pacific, though in
the war that won them the United States
made a hundred times the sacrifice made by
Japan, though by the surrender Japan was
immeasurablv strengthened and the United
States immeasurably weakened in naval
power on the common ocean. They have
seen the present Secretary of State concede
even the little island Of Yap--a mere speck
on the nigh seas-that was denied us solely
because it might serve a naval purpose in the
futaSausmAf II the great powers.
The American people have seen all this
within half the span of a mans life Be
sides, they have heard much. They have
heard threats such as no great Power is ac-
customed to level at another
In the exercise of their sovereign right
to regulate their own citizenship, they have
been menaced officially by Japan's ac-
credited ambassador They have been in
formed by this ambassador that, unless they
gave special exemption to Japan, they would
suffer "grave consequences, which is the
diplomatic phrase for war. They have
learned from Geneva that japanese dele
cation has insisted on terms in the new peace
protocol which would smooth the way for
Japan to make war ON the United States,
without provoking other nations to act
against her.
Among nations as among men words and
acts speak their own language. Among ma
tions more than among men, they mean what
they say. And the records of international
relations may be searched for century
without uncoverng a single case in which
a great Power has advanced so aggressively
as has Japan, or in which another great
Power has retreated so preciptately as has
the United States.
These facts are not set down here to be
provocative. No American wishes to provoke
trouble. They are set down because thew are
facts and everybody knows they are facts;
because they prove that to yield and retreat,
