The commoner.


The Commoner has attained
within six months from date
OF the first issue a circulation
of 100000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the
history Of American periodical
literature. The unparalleled
growth Of this paper demon
strates that there is room in
tins newspaper field for a ma
tioral paper devoted to the
discussion of political, econo-
mic and social problems. 70
the columns OF The Commoner
Mr.. Bryan contributes his best
efforts; and his review of poIit-
ical events as they arise from
time to time cannot fail TO in
terest those who study public
questions.
The Commoner's regular
subscription price is $l.00 per
year. We have arranged with
Mr.. Bryan whereby we can
furnish his paper and The
FARMINGTON TIMES together
for one year for sl.70. The
regular subscription price of
the two papers when subscr'
cd for separately is $500.

GRADY IS
FOUND d GUILTY
----
The Postoffice Clerk Who
Shot His Wife Unmoved
by Che Verdict.
SENTENCE NEXT WEEK
Penalty. Twelve Years in
Prison or $4,000 Fine
Erwin and speers
in a Tilt,
SENTENCE NEXT WEEK

Guilty of atrocious assault and battery
was the verdict returned by the jury in
the General Sessions Court late yester-
day afternoon in the case of William D.
Grady, the Jersey City post Office clerk,
who on September II last, shot his
young wife as she was about to board
a trolley car at Congress street and Sum
nit avenue.
The minimum penalty under this con-
viction is twelve years at hard labor in
State Prison or $1,000 fine or both. 1t
was raised to this after the conviction
of Thomas G. Barker, the Arlington
man who attempted to take the life of
the Rev. John Kelar. Previously it had
been seven years or 81 900 fine or both.
GRADY UNMOVED.
Grady heard the verdict of the jury
unmoved, although exhibiting consider
ably more interest in the proceedings
than he had during the taking of testi-
Inony, when his counsel was trying to
prove him insane, and he sat the greater
part of the time with his eyes closed ap-
parently asleep and utterly Indifferent to
what was going on.
Mrs. Grady was not in court when
the jury returned after less than one
hours deliberation.
The prisoner had been indicted on three
counts-assault with intent to kill, afro
cious assault and simple assault The
first two carry the same penalty.
SENTENCE NEXT WEEK.
The trial was legal battle between
Prosecutor James s. Erwin, who wouM
like to succeed himself next April, and
Lawyer William n. Speer, who is said
to be slated for the appointment. There
is apparently no love lost between the
rivals, and seemingly neither could avoid
indulging in pointed personalities when
!. the opportunity offered Several times
Judge Blair's gavel reminded the wordy
legal antagonists that they were out
stepping the bounds.
The prisoner, after the jury's verdict
was announced, was taken to the county
| jail, where he has been since the shoot
ing. He will probably be sentenced next
Thursday.

courts, and the sight of so many loaves
and fishes going to Democrats with an
army of hungry Republicans looking on,
is, to say the least. aggravating. The
fact that Democratic Legislatures took
no such action when Republican Sheriffs
were in office carries no weight. nor does
the reputation of the plan by last years
Legislature. Whether an act of this kind
would be constitutional does not cause
the slightest worriment. for it would at
least furnish berths for a few of the
faithful while the bill was being tested
in the courts
FOR BOULEVARD PAP.
Another proposed measure is one TO
take control of the Boulevard and
branches from the Democratic Commis-
sion now in charge Of the same. Osten-
sibly this is broached to prevent the
County's driveways going back to the
control Of the Freeholders in the event
of Justice Forts query as to the consti-
Ftutionality of political representation be-
ing provided for in public boards being
ahs SAcu uSSSSlifcis bJ thC NNbt TO-
There is still some doubt as to how Es-
sex would stand on such a measure, but
it is hoped that Commission appointed
by the Governor or Legislature would
satisfy them. because under no circum-
stances does the Republican machine
want referendum clause attached to
the proposed measure. They know that
would mean its defeat, and it is not pro-
posed to give the people any say in the
matter.
What other matters requiring legisla-
tive approval viii be acted upon cannot
yet be learned but it seems to be gener-
ally conceded that the first two measures
told of will be among the FIRST bills pre-
sented at the coming session Of the Leg
islature.
