GOSSON, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. >§®=" The newspaper press are welcome to use such parts of the work as they may desire, on giving credit therefor to the Manual. INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.

Being required hj law to report "all proceedings relative to the details of tlie military force ordered by the Commander-in-Chief upon requisition of the President of the United States," together with "the general state of the militia, as also any improvements to advance the discipline and benefit of the militia," I beg leave to submit the following report of military transactions through this office during the past year. The year has been an extraordinary one in the history of the militia of New Jersey. The actual existence of civil war has made it in- cumbent upon Xew Jersey, in common with those of her sister States which have remained loyal, to send forth a military force in defence of the government of our country and the ancient constitution upon which it is founded. The prompt response of her citizen soldiery to the call of duty forms a part of the history of the country, and should be a source of pride to every Jerseyman. I allude to it here only to acknowledge how much and how efficiently I have been assisted in the discharge of the vastly increased and complicated duties of this department.

  • Making War on Terrorists— Reflections on Harming the Innocent*
    The Journal of Political Philosophy Making War on Terrorists— Reflections on Harming the Innocent* Thomas Pogge Philosophy, Yale University, Australian National University and University of Oslo HE countries of the developed West are fighting a war on terror. More Taccurately: the governments of some of these countries are conducting a war against terrorists. This war effort was stepped up dramatically after the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, which killed about 3,000 people in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The most notable attack until then was the car bomb attack on the US embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi of August 7, 1998, which killed about 257 people including 12 US citizens. Since the September 11 attack, 202 people, including 88 Australians, were killed in Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali on October 12, 2002; some 191 people were killed in the Madrid bombing of March 11, 2004; and the terrorist attack of July 7, 2005, in London killed 52 people. Why wage war against these terrorists? Offhand, one might think that such a grand response to terrorism is undeserved. This thought is supported by comparisons with other threats to our life and well-being—cardiovascular disease and cancer, for instance, annually kill some 250,000 and 150,000 people, respectively,intheUKalone(940,000and560,000intheUS),whiletrafficaccidents kill over 3,000 each year (43,000 in the US). In the UK, only about one per 10,000 deaths in 2005 was due to terrorism. And even in the US in 2001, the corresponding ratio was about one in 750, that is, 0.13 percent.
