CAN THIS BE P0ssIBLEQ
Greenville Reforrners Accused OF
Penny Ante

Following or the heels of the hostilities
between the Greenviile League Republic
can and the Minkakwa Republican Clubs
comes another row. but this time within
the walls Of the Greenville Republican
Club.
A short time ago Henry C. Petty, the
chairman of the House Committee of the
club. was Informed that some of the
members Of the club were playing penny
ante Since the constitution did not al
low gambling to take place in the rooms
off the club it was Petty's duty to stop
the game and warn the participants of
the penalties for the offense, which meant
expulsion from the club. This Petty
claims to have done, but the gambling
continued.
O. Macmillan, who is famous as the
sreformer" of the club, could not under
stand why the game should continue in
spite of the alleged warning by Petty. He
said that either he Petty connived at
the game or was incompetent in that he
could not stop 1t within the clubrooms.
Petty got very mad at Mr. McMiIlan's
sharp words and retorted in his aecus-
toned vigorous manner The matter was
hotiy argued and almost ended In blows.
The result Of it all is that Macmillan and
his followers sent in their designations
10 the secretary of the club.
1t is expected that the affair will arouse
a high time at the meeting of the club

we learn from this that the legal rate

might we'll be increased to fifteen since
the return path prevents all the dangers
which might exist where wheels are

to deprive riders of excuse for seriously
exceeding it. To this extent We desire
to modify our former remarks regarding

We have nothing to take back. how

wholesale arrests. We are still wholly
seepticaI as TO the suf1ciency of the
evidence which can be produced in such

it is an outrage that anyone hould be
arrested who has not been first warned
that he is riding too fast and refused to
relax his speed upon receiving such a
caution.

An old MANS SUICIDE
Frank Wichman Hangs Him

in His Daughters
Back Yard.

Frank Wichman. rs years of age, com
mitted suicide last night by hanging
himself from the limb of a cherry tree
in the back yard Of his residence, No.
% 'Wavefly street. where ne lived with
his daughter, Mrs. Henrietta Hennen-
field. Ever since the death of his wife
twenty years ago. Wichman had. on va
rfous occasions, threatened to hang him
self; but as time wore on his relatives
and friends paid less attention to his
threats.
After he ate his supper last night he
took a walk upon Paiisade avenue, where
he met a number Of friends and spoke
cheerfully to them. About ten O'Clock
he returned and sat upon the front
steop. Mrs. Hennenfeld left him sitting
there when she retired.
His body was discovered by a man who
lives in a house on Jefferson street,
the rear Of which overlooks the back
yard of the suicides residence. The man
discovered the body hanging from the
tree about five O'Clock and notified the
police Of the Oakland avenu station.

please. II may be a pity they should do

language may be more or less ridiculous
in its exaggeration. But. all the same.
they have a right to adopt their reso-
1utiong. Il they SO desire. just as they
have : right to become vegetarians or
Angel Dancers or Faith Curists or any
other crank thing. Nobody has a right
to complain of their course as individual
free agents. and, indeed, their action is
of very small Importance.
It is. however. a somewhat serious
matter when an attempt is made to bull
aoze other people. It is more than serious
when a political leader threatens party
ostracism against the most thinking
element in the party. We cannot help
thinking MI. Davis made a painful mis-
take. last evening. when he spoke of at.
tempting to expel from the organization
ali who refuse to aid in the ruin Of the
country by supporting Bryan and
sewall. Regularity, enforced by methods
Of this sort. is a new feature in New
Jersey politics. and assuredly there could
not be found a more i~nauspicious time
TO introduce it than the present.
The day after election Mr.. Davis will
be astonished to find how many Demo-
Gratis have made themselves candidates
s1or expulsion by casting their votes
against Bryan and Sewall. If the process
of expulsion began today. ii would have
to begin with Allan L. MeDermott and
O.. F. c. Young, " ex-Chairmen Of
the Democratic State Committee. and
It would include almost every Democrat
in the county who has sufficient knowl-
edge of public affairs TO be entitled to
advise the community upon them.
We greatly fear that airy attempt to
enforce a bulldoz.ng policy will have
a disastrous effect on the local as well
as on the National ticket. The safest
policy wiz be to freely permit the exer-
else Of Independent judgment upon the
National Issues and hold the party to-
gether upon State and local matters
until better times. In this way thousands
of votes cast for Mckinley and Hobart
will go for the Democratic Congressional
and s~hrievalty candidates. But any ag-
gressive movements, expulssons or the
like. can have no possible effect save TO
throw those who are subjected to such
treatment. or those who resent it, bodily
over into the Republican party.

Street and Water Board over the asphalt
pavement question viii not cause any
delay In the good work Of improving the
city streets The advances that nave al
ready been made in the condition Of our

appetite. The need is big enough for up-
fo-cate streets. The people viii be very
intolerant of any unnecessary delay.
Without i~mpugning the motives Of the
commissioners in any way. in respect to
the designations of t~horoughfares. made
yesterday, we cannot help thinking the
selections are far from judicaous. The
tboFoughfares PANIED are chiefly of local
Importance. They are not and cannot be
made main arteries of travel, and they
cannot be brought into any consistent
scheme Of improvement, unless It be one
which embraces about every street in the
city. In this respect. they are IN very I'M
favorable contrast with the scheme for a
continuous asphalt roadway from the p.
n. 2. ferry TO the Hill This Is a project
which Is Of small direct benefit to any one
locality, but which is equally a boon to
al, because it affords a general artery
for light travel by which all benefit
