Til E PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.
“Tlie greatest ethical influence in
the worid to-day,” is what a prominent
trades-unionist calls “ tlie sympathetic
strike.” Shoulder to shoulder tlie al
lied forces stand to support eacli other.
If the carmen of Philadelphia demand
certain concessions from th»ir em
ployers, and if a refusal precipitates a
strike, then call out all tlie other un
ions, and make the strike general, is
what they say. It is of no consequence
that the sympathizers have no griev
ances of their own, aud that they and
their employers have no quarrel, or
that wages are good and hours satis
factory. All tiiis is lost sight of.
If this is ethical, then the term lias
a new meaning. Consider what it
means to Philadelphia, for example,
for 00,400 persons to cease labor. Al
lowing three persons to a family, 181,.
200 individuals will be directly affected
by tlie strike. In spite of the close
organization of tlie unions, it is with
difficulty that, they will provide food
for this immense army. Women and
children must Inevitably suffer. Now
extend the view to all those people
whose lives are affected because the
price of food is increased, because they
are unable to get to business, because
work is stopped on the building whicli
they have contracted to complete at a
certain time, and because, in general,
the normal flow of events has been
rudely impeded. From this point of
view, the sympathetic strike is the
most unethical thing in the world.—
“Elizabeth Journal.”
Apropos of the Ballinger and Pin
chot controversy, the “Brooklyn
Eagle” say:—“The readers of tile
Eagle should bear in mind some facts
in which the constitution and the acts
of congress on forest conservation are
concerned. President Taft is a jurist.
Mr. Ballinger is an able lawyer, and
Attorney General Wickersham, a very
able lawyer, sustains both. All of them
have given to the subject deep and
long study. Without consultation they
have arrived at the same conclusions.
All treated Mr. Pinchot, a layman,
with great consideration, till the pres
ident felt he had to remove him. Since
then Mr. Pinchot has raised his per
sonality to the Nth power of felt im
portance, and is now ‘arraigning ’ Mr.
Bfclhnger, more than reflecting on the
president, whom lie is trying to * nag’
into rejoinder and is ready to ‘un
limber ’ his guns on Attorney General
Wickersham, with the design of bring
ing J. E. GarUeld, certainly, and ex
President Roosevelt, if he can, into
the controversy. An able, earnest,
angry young man, with money, leisure,
forestry knowledge and a bad case of
megalomania, Mr. Pinchot was an
office holder and believes he has be
come “ a national issue.” We do not
think he has, and we await the result
of the whole inquiry with more solici
tude for him than for the men just
as good and twice as wise and thrice
as learned in the law as he.”
Last October the question of voting
a large sum to pay the $1,000 a month
commissioners who were reappraising
the railroad property in this state was
so urgent that there were threats of an
extra session to provide the means, but
during the last six months these gen
tlemen have apparently been forgotten.
Their report, which was submitted to
the governor when their $20,000 ap
propriation was exhausted, has never
been submitted to the legislature and
the commission seems to have been
dissipated. If they did not increase
valuations materially they would not
justify their appointment. If they did
report higher valuations their report
would have no effect because the rail
road assessors are the only persons
who are authorized by law to value the
railroad property for assessment. If
the Tailroad assessors attempted to
follow any increase that may be sug
gested by the reappraisement com
mission they would be up against the
supreme court, which has already de
cided that the present valuation made
by the assessors is too high. The state
assessors' report, made five months
ago, showed $281,214,158 of listed rail
road property and the tax levied on it
was $5,088,345.43.
The Hamburg-American steamship
President Lincoln is on her way to
this country from Europe with 3,619
passengers aboard. Witli one excep
tion this is the largest number of per
sons that ever crossed the ocean at
one time. The exception was in the
case of the steamer President Grant,
which last December brought over 3,
740 passengers. Is it any wonder that
our population should grow rapidly
when each voyage of one of these
modern steamers means the arrival of
enough immigrants to establish a
good-sized American town.
Justice Wbioiit, of the District of
Columbia supreme court, has laid
down the law to congress that “no
man in this country is so high that he
is higher than the law.” All will
agree that 'in his judgment in their
case he was governed by the law as he
conceives it to be, since he has demon
strated that he recognizes the suprem
acy of law even over its creators, the
members of congress.
IAQUOU QUESTION AT TRENTON.
The friends of local option and the
advocates of Sunday liquor selling
part of the day had a joint hearing
before joint committees of the legis
lature at Trenton Monday, and it
was a field day for both parties. The
local option advocates made a strong
presentation of their side of the case,
in advocating that the people be given
opportunity to decide for themselves
whether the saloon should be licensed
to sell liquors, which was a home rule
principle. On the other hand the op
ponents of local option declared it
un-American, and pointed out its in
efficiency wherever it has been tried,
the use of intoxicants showing no di
minution. Of course, there was really
nothing new advanced by either side
to the controversy, and it can safely
be said that the members of the com
mittee are well advised on all the
points advanced by the disputants.
There was no indication of how the
committee was impressed with the
arguments, which were chiefly stereo
typed, hut the probabilities are tiiat
there will be no legislation on either
local option or Sunday liquor selling
at this session of the legislature. It
will not be denied that there are com
munities in the state which, if given
perfect local option, would vote for
selling Intoxicants on Sunday openly
just as it is done clandestinely in prob
ably every city in tbe state. But
neither can it be denied that keeping
the Sabbath holy by refraining from
the business of the other days of the
week tends to moral and physical im
provement, as the present Sunday
observance law reduces the temptation
to self-indulgence that too many peo
ple are inclined to. Better hold fact
to the regulation of the liquor traf
fic by law as,now prevails, and prevent
any further spread of hypocrisy and
defiance of law by those in the busi
ness.—“ Camden Courier.”
Senator Osborne has introduced
the bill to create a new county out of
two townships of Somerset and one
township of Morris. The evident in
tention of the introducer is to create
a new Democratic county, and accord
ing to the bill this county is to be
added to the Fourth Congressional
District. The tertitory affected is
now divided between the Fourth and
Fifth Congressional Districts. The
three townships, according to the as
sessors’ return, aggregate 63,042 acres
and are taxed on $8,197,274 of valua
tion. The political complexion, as
shown by the last election, would be
Democratic, the vote being 770 Repub
lican and 1,158 Democratic. If there
was any need for a new county it
would not be made on these lines, and
it is not supposable that the author or
the introducer of the bill had any hope
of passiiig it in a Republican legisla
ture. There have been no new coun
ties created in this State during the
last half century, and it is not proba
ble that there will be any more created
at any time, and certainly there should
be no more pocket borough counties
with a total vote less than that cast
by a city ward.
The decision rendered by the su
preme court against the lessees in
Ocean Grove will add to the earnest
ness of the demand for a borough form
of government. The assessor listed
the lessees. The state board exempted
them and put the tax on the camp
meeting association because it re
tained the fee. The supreme court
put the taxes back on the lessees be
cause their leases are for ninety-nine
years with renewal to them, their heirs
or assigns in perpetuity. The lessees
have actual property rights far in ex
cess of the value of tft fee. It is pos
sible that the lessees will take the
matter to the court of errors and ap
peals if only to annoy the association.
The contest is becoming bitter on the
part of the lecsees. The association
maintains something like proprietary
government and those who bought and
built knew the conditions before they
invested. It looks as if the Camp
Meeting association would win in the
end.
Tim number of deaths last year by
drowning of summer bathers of New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
amounted to 1,660, according to figures
made public by officers of the United
States volunteer life saving corps. The
corps assisted 195 crafts in distress and
rescued 250 persons from drowning in
the waters surrounding New York.
New York is shown to have paid the
heaviest toll, with a total of 886 lives
lost, of which 224 were children. Penn
sylvaniacomesnext, with 468, of which
196 were children, and New Jersey has
the lowest record, with 196, of which
94 were children. August was the
most deadly month and holidays
showed marked increases over week
days in deaths reported.
The joint oommitte on appropria
tions of the state legislature is having
its usual time of It, in listening to de
mands from almost every department
of the state for increased appropria
tions for maintenance and improve
ments. The applicants argue that the
state is growing and the population of
its dependent uud other institutions is
also constantly increasing, as well as
the cost of supplies, all of which will
he admitted. Ilut are the revenues of
the state keeping pace with the growth
of the demands upon It? That is the
question which probably does not con
cern the applicants, but It is a very
material one for the members of the
appropriations committee.

ORIGINATOR OF
POLE LINES
1CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGISl
Mr. Vail, who had been thinking al
most constantly over the grave prob
lem confronting us, said to Morse in
my presence:
“ ‘ I wonder how it would do to
string the wires on sticks? ’
“ ‘ It wouldn’t do at all,’ Morse re
plied. * The wires would constantly
be broken and otherwise interfered
with.’
“A1 Vail was a man who always
spoke his mind.
“ ‘ I don’t believe it,’ he said blunt
ly to Morse. ?! have made several ex
periments stringing wires upon sticks.
At the sticks I had run the wires
through the necks of broken bottles
to insulate them, and they work all
right, jnow, if we get tail enough
sticks, and utilize trees wherever we
find them along the route, I am sure
that we can string our wires at very
small cost, and nothing short of a very
big wind storm or heavy snow storm
would do them any damage.’
“1 took sides with Mr. Vail at once,”
the venerable engineer continued, with
a reminiscent smile. “ You see, my
engineering experience served me. 1
told Professor Morse that Vail’s plan
was perfectly feasible; and when Vail
added, during the course of the ensu
ing argument, that all we’d have to
do would be to set up the sticks—as
we called them then—along the high
ways, and that the right of way wou'd
cost us nothing, I argued for his viewv
more strongly than ever.
“At last we persuaded Professor
Morse bo put aside the trench, or
buried wire, idea, and burn to sticks,
or poles. In the meantime, however,
Vail had set up some clothes poles and
strung telegraph wire along them, and
thus proved by ocular demonstration
that his plan was feasible. At that
time we got the idea of having the
telegraph sticks about the height of
the ordinary clothes pole, but before
we began the work of securing and
placing the poles, we all three decided
that a higher pole would be better—it
would keep the wires out of reach of
people and vehicles, out of harm’s way.
So a pole about the height of the pres
ent telegraph pole was decided on.
Vail, I believe, determining the
height.
“ Later on the telegraphic demon
stration that we made between Balti
more and Washington over our wires
strung on sticks, or poles, was perfect
and the telegraph took its proper place
among the great inventions of the
ages. But not until many years later
when, in some of our big cities, there
came a public outcry to get rid of tele
graph wires and poles, was there a re
turn to Professor Morse’s original plan
to run the telegraph wires through
subways.”

Don’t Dike Jersey Justice.
Several Morristown lawyers and
business men have received copies of
a statement issued by Dr. James A.
Campbell, a physician practicing in
New York and who has a country
place on the Washington Valley road
near Morristown, in which Judge Al
fred Elmer Mills is assailed and also
two justices of the peace, Isaac R.
Pierson and Patrick J. Howard, are
criticised. Dr. Campbell heads his
story “ Resume of Jersey Justice,”
and prefaces It with the statement
“ the words ‘ Jersey justice’ are gen
erally supposed to strike terror to the
hearts of most people. It certainly
does to me but not In the sense usual
ly understood.”
He recounts the numerous suits at
law he tias been subjected to and
seems to think he is the victim of a
wide spread conspiracy. While he
makes sweeping charges against a
number of officials and others no one
is disposed to take him seriously.

“ The Lottery Man.”
Can any one, even a girl herself,
imagine the sense of mingled trepida
tion and surprise a .young woman
would feel if she found herself sudden
ly possessed of a prospective but un
known husband as the result of a dar
ing purchase of a lottery ticket?
Whether done in a spirit of innocent
mischief or with the view of actually
tempting fate, to find oneself the
holder of the winning number would
prove none the loss astounding. This
is the situation which confronts Lizzie,
the elderly spinster in “The Lottery
Man,” now cuir nt at the Bijou thea
tre. The fact is. Lizzie is decidedly
pleased with her bargain, and the dis
may is all on the man’s side. One
must see Lizzie to appreciate his point
of view. Helen Lowell, who plays the
part of Lizzie, is both attractive a"-!
charming. A great deal of credit,
therefore, can be given to her cleve
art which produces this exceeding'y
amusing character. The young re
porter who is the “ lottery prize ” is
portrayed by Cyril Scott, the star of
the piece- This is Mr. Scott’s first
venture into pure farce, his former
successes having beenjj won in more
serious parts, notably “ The Prince
Chap ” and “ The Intruder. ” His ex
cellent playing of “The Lottery Man,”
however, will doubtless make this suc
cessful actot«more popular than ever.
Louise Galloway, Janet Beecher and
Ethel Winthrop, who are members of
the cast, play their respective parts
with much tact and'charm.

GREATEST FLAG’S ODD USE.
A Screen For Easter Lilies Growing In
a Pittsburg Hothouse._ ^
The largest American flag in the
world, 1(50 by 80 feet, is now used to
cover the lilies that are being forced
in the Phipps conservatory in Schenley
park, at Pittsburg, for the Easter flow
er show.
The original idea of the big flag—
which has proved a red, white and
blue elephant—was inspired by Cap
tain Howard Oursler, Mayor Magee’s
secretary, who enlisted several hun
dred women in its making. These or
gnnized the Society or Betsy Boss. Mo
supports or pole could be found suf
ficiently strong to hold the big bunt
ing. The last time it was displayed
was during the world’s series cham
pionship ball games last fall, when it
was spread on the hillside of Schenley
park. The thousands at Forbes field
could see its bright colors across the
diamond in the distance.

“But this seems to be tenanted,” re
joined the applicant hesitatingly.
“Yes. I live here myself.”
“Then 'if you were to rent it to me
what would you do?”
“Oh, I’d store my stuff and hang
around on the outside.” — New York
