WHO IS THE GOVERNOR HITTING

Governor Voohees in his message TO
the Legislature has not spared those
who have criticised the management
of the States Industrial School for
Girls, or the position of the Executive
in reference to that institution. His
Excellency will find before the end of
the week that public opinion will be
more than divided on the wisdom of
the utterances he has made on the
T" officious Intermediates who are ac-
cording to his notion seeking a
cheap notoriety. The Governor
leaves it to inference for the public
to discover just who he is hitting. 1t
may be the State Charities Aid or the
Passaic County Society for the Pro-
lection of Children and the other
numerous organizations that Mr..
Bishop announces on his visiting card.
An analysis of the charge shows
that it hits the organization of which
DR.. Charlton T. Lewis is president,
and in which he has considerable
influence in this community and
throughout the State.
Perhaps the Governor is after what
he calls some we'll meaning but
wholly irresponsible and self consti-
tuted organization with prejudice
born of ignorance and the assump-
ton of an authority which the Legis-
lature has wisely withheld from
them. >"
There is no use of enjoying the pre-
rogative of being the Chief Executive
of the State unless you can find fault
with the things that do not suit you.
1t is, however, expected of the one in
which the people repose an executive
trust to go further than to throw
shoes and inwardly pray that what
toes it pinches will be pinched very
hard. This much is certain, if the
methods of the State Charities Aid are
wrong, it is his duty to come out
and say so. If this organiza-
ton is providing no good but exciting
the public as to the condition of the
public institutions, he should certain
~ say so. If he knows a better way
for the corrections of public abuses in
state, county or city institutions why
not inform the Legislature about it?
The Governor did not publish any
part of the criticisms made by the
Reformatory Committee of the State
Charities Aid, but instead he gives
them a literary chastisement which we
know will naturally cause free ex-
change of indignation. From what
the Governor intimates the States
Charities Aid lacks power, and the
sooner, therefore, that this is obtained
the better for the future of the organi-
aztion. It might be we'll for the State
Charities Aid to find out whether it
has any legal status, to do more than
visit and report, and if not to go
ahead and get law enacted which
will give it power to force the moral
of the Institutions
which it criticises from time to time.
The Governor has thrown down the
challenge to the State Charities Aid to
tell why it exists. and we believe that
Dr. Lewis and Mrs. Emily William
son are competent to do So

is that the number of Hudson County
offenders brought before the Justice

abundance in that bailiwiek.
