Th« House is bat one legislative half of
Qougmci. Ae Ornate being the other.
The term of the House will soon end.
Its successor win be ahosee, in Novem
ber. Its member** are officially “voting
for re-election” now.
It would be embarrassing, but it would
not be finally serious, should boA legal
halves at the Congress, should the Con
gress ah a Whole, unanimously enact that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
could abridge or deny the lights of other
persons, corporate or human, under the
Constitution. The Judiciary, as distinct
ly a part of the Government as Con
gress or the President, would not allow
that to fee done. He who walks on the
foundations walks safely. The Senate
has bean watting upon the foundations
and, we hope, will eonttau to do ao.
The President is willing that that shall
he don*—to a degree. The concession of
a degree of judicial review in oniy in
teresting aa a study of -Mr. Roosevelt's
mind. Of any and every constitutional
right, all or none must he the reading.
AH signifies governmnt by law. None'
signifies despotism or anarchy, as the
case may be. There can be no compro
mise between these extremes, when cen
stitutional rights are involved.
It is said that some Senators, Republic
cans, will meet the President half way,
on the concession of something less Rian
the full constitutional right of persons
and corporations by what they wil mis
call law. It is said that other Senators,
Democrats, will oppose the “'Presklemt’s
Compromise.” because it recognizes to
any degree whatever the appellate con
stitutional rights of citizens or corpora
tions, in matters of railroad charges. It
is gathered from this that other Sena
tors, Republican and Democrats both,
who refuse the President’s offer to “com
promise on the Constitution,” may be
able to prevent the passage of any rail
road rate bill whatever.
On this head, we are not concerned'.
A rate bill with anything less or other
in it "than full recognition of full con
stitutional rights would encounter a ju
diciary which would declare It to be un
constitutional and invalid. Thq. defeat
or low of such a rate hill would b* far
f'.om a calamity. If such a rate bill
were passed, it would be judicially de
clared an unconstitutional nullity. The
Constitution is on, for, upon and above
all.
It has survived several Presidents and
many Congresses and Will survive many
more. It will even survive the journal
i ism which is populistic, and-knows that
it is. and the journalisni''tkat is popu
listic, and does not know that it is. The
corporations, such as the Northern Secur
ities Company. which thought that they
could flout or flank the Constitution by
mergers, found out their mistake. The
anti-corporation legislators who think
they can nullify the Constitution, espe
cially in: a crucial year of election, by
coquetting with the anti-corporation pas
sion of populism, which has percolated
both parties as a plague, will find out
their mistake, whether in the Senate or
at the hands of the courts. We think
they will find it out in the Senate. The
Senate will cover itself with unusual
honor, should that: be the case.

Oougreseman Gardner, of the Second
District in this State, has iutrod-uced a
hill in the House of Representative* rail
ing for an appropriation of f300,000 for
a systematic study and investigation of
and a report upon the industries in which
women and caiijjreu are employed, eays
the Newark "Evening News.” >, The bill
is not of Congressman Gardner’s own
drafting, hut “wa* introduced: at the re
quest of Governor Guild, of Massachu
setts. It ie iftrongly adbovuted by the
Women's Trad* Union League of IIU
| noie end by oteeo organisations and
| women'* clubs.
| Provident Roeeeveit *a»* this subject a
! prominent phvoo «* Me mcooagc to O02
! urea* ia Deeewbtrr lost. *wi urged juat
' such an invaotWMieu a* the Gardner bill
contemplates. He referred to the fact
that there is an. almost pereet dearth of
data from which to draw trustworthy
conclusions, although there are over
5,000.600 women who have entered’ into
the gainful occupations. The introduc
tions of trees women into the jndluetries
is working great changes and1 disturb
ances in the domestic and’ sieial life of
the nation, and the President finds that
the decrease in marriages and the birth
rate are coincident with it.
There can be no quetaion that the so
cial problem which these new conditions
present is of vast importance and well
worthy of the most exhaustive inquiry
Congress can make. Ordinary political
and economical questions, weighty as
they are, must yield to this one in time,
if the present rate of increase in the
number of women breadwinners con
tinues, and the proportion of those who
are daily taken from their homes to make
a livelihood is not reduced. The figures
presented by the last census, meager as
they are, show that theis class is really
increasing more rapidly than any class
of men.
Commuters Of an Observing turn of
mind must have reached these conclu
sions alreeady, for the trains to and from
this city and New York supply abundant
evidence. They are crowded with young
Women, going to and from their work.
It has been shown by statistics that the
Delaware, Lackawanna and1 Western
road carries a total of over 11,000,000
passengers a year to and from New
York, while the Brie, the Pennsylvania
and the New Jersey Central carry as
many more. Add to these the Hudson
River, the West Shore, the Hartford and
New Haven system and the Long Island
roads and the grand total will be some
where about 30,000,000. What proportion
of these are women who have become
breadwinners?
■Some few States have endeavored to
gather statistics with reference to these
conditions, but have been only moder
ately successful. Nothing lees than such
a broad and exhaustive inquiry as Con
gress can make will be valuable in throw
ing light on this new social problem. I.t
can hardly be called, a reveral of the
former condition, in which men only
were the wage-earners and, all the women
were relegated* to their own homes or to
service in homes not their own, hut it
is an entirely new state of affairs in
which millions of women have already
come into direct competition with the
men, in practically every department of
light industry known, and* millions more
are preparing to join this army of women
breadwinners.
President Roosevelt does not say that
the introduction of women in the indus
tries lias resulted1 in fewer marriages and
a reduced birthrate, but the fact that
they are coincident i® strongly indicative
of cause and effect. In point of fact every
observer knows that many young women
babe refused offers of marriage because
they were earning more wage® than the
men who proposed, and1 they were, there
fore, unwilling to assume tre work and
responsibilities of married life upon a
greatly reduced income. The Gardner bill
and its appropriation are warranted' by

AMUSEMENTS
Princess Theatre
Henry Woodruff, star of “Brown of
Harvard” at the Princess Theatre. New
York, while he long has been known
to possess many of the atrtibutes of a
matinee idol, was never, until the pro
duction of thin lively college play, sus
pected of being an athlete. Besides
possessing a trim, graceful figure and
prfoenting a pleasing blonde personality,
Mr. Woodruff boasts of a very enviable
endowment of muscles which he exer
cises daily 1b the gymnasium of the
New York Athletic Club. Mr. Wood
ruff reveals two brawny biceps in the
exciting boat race scene of “Brown of
Harvard.” The actor accumulated th's
physical equipment through exercise at
the following sports:—
1. Rowing.
2. Swimming.
3. Boxing.
4. Wrestling.
5. Fencing.
6. Golfing.
7. Bowling.
8. Horseback riding.
9. Putting the Shot.
10. Throwing the Hammer.
11. Hurdling.
At each of these Mr. Woodruff is
better than an amateur. That is One
reason why at the age of 37 he is so
well preserved that he plays a boy of
18 in “Brown of Harvard” without the
aid of “make-up” and looks the part
to the ground. Another reason for the
actor’s physical condition is the con
servatism of his habits. Unlike most
popular actors, who are welcome in
club life, he
Does uot drink.
Does not smoke.
Does not gamble.
Retires promptly at midnight.
Arises promptly at eight o’clock.
Bats moderately.
Mr. Woodruff owns a beautiful coun
try home on Nantucket Island, and1 he
always summers there, gaining strength
and preserving health, instead of tiring
himself out with useless European travel.
There he lives in the open, going bare
headed and bare-footed and spending
his time rowing, sailing, swimming, and
golfing.

Lyceum Theatre
Grace Elliston who plays the role of
Shirley Rossmore in “The Lion and the
Mouse,” has been much commended for
the care and thought: she has bestowed
upon the costumes worn by her in the
play. Although SlhiTley is a woman of
fashion she is in no sense frivolous.
Then tendency in fashionable present
day millinery can hardly be classed as
serious so Miss Elliston experienced
great difficulty in securing hats that
would not do violence to Shirley's char
acteristics, creating a false impression
on the visual sense of the auditor. As
“The Lkm and the Mouse’ is now in
the sixth month of its run, Mass Eilis
tou’s hats have begun to show the effect
of wear and tear. 'Last week she vis
ited a smart Fifth avenue milliner in
search of a hat for the second act.
Unable to secure the proper shade of
feathers she denuded the hat she had
originally worn of its plumage so that
it might be transferred to the new one.
Explaining carefully what she desired
she left instructions to have the hat
delivered at the thefetre that night. To
her consternation she found on open
ing the box, that the milliner had sent
her a rakish chapeau which tilted in
a jaunty fashion over one eye. There
was nothing to do but to wear the hat.
Mot only was Mr. Breese with whom
Miss Eiiston plays her second act scene
so surprised at the change in her ap
pearance that he almost “went up” in
his lines, but the psychological influence
upon Miss Eiiston was so pronounced
that s&e experienced great difficulty in
playing the scene in the proper manner
for as she expressed it, “I felt that in
stead of looking like a sweet young girl
I wore the aspect of a designing minx.”
