TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1903.
Today the citizens of New Jersey
vote whether or not the constitntior
shall be amended so as to change th<
present judicial system. The amend
ments should be^passed. The courts
are too crowded. Years ago the pres
ent system might have been weli
enough. Then the Supreme Oouri
justices might have been able tc
attend to both the Supreme Courl
work and the duties of the Court ol
Errors, but times have changed. With
the great industrial combinations and
hnndieds of other organizations
making constant litigation, the
supreme uourt justice uas euuugu tv.
do in his own court. The amend
ments, for one thing, provide for a
new set of judges for the Court ol
Errors. This is right and every citi
zen should assist in passing the
amendments.
The historical value of the West
minster Hohie was clearlv pointed out
by Rev. fn. H. G. Mendenhall Sun

gladr to print the discourse in yester

- SHOPLIFTING IN LONDON.
■•visible Detective** Employed in
Keepliitf; Close YVnteli I pon
Kleptoma nitiCH.
Though there is every appearance in
all the great Condon shops that the
public is to be trusted implicitly, an
elaborate and carefully organized sys
tem of espionage prevails to circumvent
the designs of the peripatetic thief and
the maurauding kleptomaniac, says the
Mall.
The Invisible detective, whose office is
some unsuspected gallery in the ceiU'ng.
whence from artfully designed peep
holes in the molding he can survey the
whole establishment, is the most suc
cessful foil to the shoplifter. But there
are only a few shops so structurally
designed that surveillance of this kind
Is possible. Some of the jewelers’
treasure palaces are guarded in this
manner, and, to make assurance doubly
sure, no attendant is without his satel
lite, who keeps a wary eye on the cases
of gems exposed to the customers' in
spection, standing at the salesman’s
elbow while he is showing them.
At all periods a careful watch is kept
on those dress establishments that art
pervaded by women, but more especially
at sale time, for it is then that covet
ousness overwhelms morality most eas
ily, and the crowded state of the shops
favors the picker-up of unconsidered
trifles. A manager of one of the largest
establishments in the metropolis says
it is In those departments that are not
spacious that pilfering principally goes
on, and that in them detective supervi
sion is always most acute.
Every shopwalker anil counter at
tendant is in effect a detective, but there
are 6ome professionals who assume the
ttuise to hide their real position. It is
the duty of each attendant when he is
suspicious of a customer to call the at
tention of the detective to her, not bla
tantly, but by prearranged sign. The
detective ithen keeps the suspect under
her immidjate eye. In the large em
poriums where women chiefly congre
gate the most efficient, because least
conspicuous, detectives are women,
either employed as shopwalkers or as
customers.
When an attendant misses or thinks
he misses something, or notices dis
turbing signs of thievery, he speaks to
the detective, who, as an elegantly
garbed customer, seats herself in a po
sition commanding a good view of the
suspect and makes her purchases like
any other woman, all the while gather
ing data upon which to proceed. The
disguise assumed by the shop detective
v differs day by day.
If there be one result less desired by
the shop proprietor than another it is
to convict a kleptomaniac. Prosecu
i tlons do not forward business. The
k proprietor’s policy is to prevent pilfer
L log by every conceivable means. Hence
H a blind eye is turned to what is a theft
in embryo, and the wretched shoplifter
caught in the act of purloirJng a blouse
under cover of her waterproof is asked
whether the article may
citizens would unite to preserve it
forever. Perth Amboy should not
neglect its opportunity.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
A vessel is to be towed from Phila
delphia across the ocean, so that re
pairs may be made in Europe, the
owners claiming that, owing to the
cheapness of labor there, they will
save money in having the work done
on the other side. We doubt, how
ever, whether their example, which
is hardly an edifying one, will be
generally followed. Moreover, it
would not take the European work
men long to come to an understanding
of the situations and radically change
the conditions there.—Elizabeth
Times.
“Imaginary” assembly districts
rinn’t, nnnnt1 in fclin Prohibition non
ventions. Two of the nominees for
assembly were selected from Eliza
beth and one from Rahway.—Eliza
beth Journal.
The New Jersey building at the St.
Louis Exposition, modelled after
Washington’s headquarters at Morris
town, is a big improvement over the
“hen coop” put up at the Buffalo Ex
position by the Voorhees Commis
sion.—Camden Post-Telegram.
home for her. To the bulging umbrella
or the gaping handbag the detective al
ludes with an apology, fearing that
madam has inadvertently incommoded
herself with something that fell from
the counter.
First offenders are often cured by nar
row escapes such as this from falling
into the abyss that leads to the dock,
and gladly pay for the experience in
coin of the realm as if they had all the
while meant to purchase instead of to
purloin the goods. Should leniency of
such a kind fail to lead the trespasser
back into the paths of rectitude, the
manager’s office is made the scene of
more serious negotiations, on which it
is as well to draw the veil. But as a rule
it does not.
Considering the immense population
of London and the ease with which
beautiful objects can apparently be
taken in the great shops, the detectives
find their talents called but seldom into
play, probably because their system of
surveillance is so capitally organized
and carried out.
SURPRISED THE CHINAMAN.
American Soltllcr* In Hie Philippine*
Took Only Cabbage* n*
Present*.
Some time ago it was stated that the
sum total of graft acquired by Gen.
Otis while he was tn command in the
Philippines consisted of a quarter of
a pound of tea that he accepted just
as he was leaving the island. An of
ficer who served with Otis, says the
Washington Post, relates that he did
not accept another gift, it seems that
the first Christmas which Gen. Otis
■ai.RTvt In the islands he received from
the head Chinaman, the man who
managed all the affairs of the Chinese
residents of Manila, quite a large as
sortment of gifts, consisting of sill a
and other Chinese goods. They were
really valuable, and, in addition there
were four heads of cabbage. These
vegetables were brought from Hong
Kong, and were considered a great
delicacy in the Philippines. The next
officer in rank received a less quantity
of goods and three cabbages, and so
on down the line, a smaller quantity
of goods and two cabbages, and a still
smaller quantity and one cabbage for
the lowest in rank. Gen. Otis gave
directions to send all the goods back,
gave the cabbages. He accepted these
and allowed the other officers to re
tain their cabbages, but they had to
send back the valuable gifts. The
head Chinaman was much disturbed
and feared that the rejection of his
gift* might mean disagreeable con
sequences for him and his people. He
(had never had anything turned back
under the Spanish rule, and he had
learned that gifts paved the way for
favors. The way of the Americans
in the orient must have been a sur
prise to many people who have been
in the habit of purchasing favors.

ADAPTING FOREIGNERS.
How (In* l.lttle Children Renin to Ac
quire Knowledge lu the
l ulted .Stole*.
The foreign parents of East side chil
dren realize that knowledge—especially
knowledge of I he language—is power. In
the class room, as on the street, the
conflicting racial characteristics of the
children of different nationalities, the
influence of heredity, home life and en
vironment, arc all strikingly exemplified,
says Everybody’s Magazine. The teach
ers soon come to realize that the surest
wav to spur the Jewish hoys on to re
newed efforts in their studies is to tell
them constantly stories of the positions
of power and wealth which await boys
who have time duration to fill them, stor
ies of other boys who have grown up to
fill such positions.
The dreamy, indolent Italian children
can best be reached by an appeal to their
love of pure scholarship, their apprecia
tion of the artistic, of rhythm and
music, of the beauty of form and color.
With nothing in their unlovely lives to
awaken a spark of artistic ereativeness,
once given a glimpse of artistic proced
ure in the modeling and drawing classes,
they display that marvelous talpnt for
creation which is their heritage of race,
and which has outlived the degradation
of fifty generations. Ail the children
of the East side, especially the Hungar
ians, have a wonderful gift of language.
Slow Repair to Swift Destruction.
An indication of the enormous cost of
time as well as money involved in at
tempts to repair the damage done by
forest destruction is given by Mr.
George W. Rafter, in Water Supply Pa
per No. 80, of the Geological Survey.
Concerning the proposition to reforest
the Croton watershed, whereby, It is
calculated, the daily supply of New
York city water could be increased 75,
000,000 gallons, Mr._ Rafter says that
120 years would lie needed to produce
the full effect of fore station, and by the
expiration of that time the original
cost, compounded at three per cent, in
terest, would am*.lint to about $780,
000,000.
