NEW JERSEY DOING WELL.

From a recent proclamation of the governor of New Jersey it is plain why so many ''undigested" securities are disturbing the Wall street stom- sch. In the proclamation referred to, Governor Murphy, of New Jersey, revokes the charters of s27 airy trusts. or would-be trusts, for non payment of their petty franchise tax. A trust too impecunious to pay it's annual New Jersey license fee is cer- tainly . sadly waterlogged corpora ton.
 The number of corporations thus dissolved represents 8 capitalization of s239, ,000,e00. Last year the gov ernor of the same state dissolved 6S7 corporations by the same process, rep Tesenting the comparatively modest capital of s62,O00,o0 In addition. between April 1, 1903, receivers have been appointed for 127 New Jersey corporations, the joint capital of which is listed at s27O,O00,oO And yet the withdrawal of the license tax of this large number of robustly capi- talized corporations does not feaze the trust-supported excheQuer of the state of New Jersey. Within the past five years some 2o.Oo0 foreign corpora tions have gone to Trenton for their easy charters, and goodly number of them are the real thing in the trust line. It was only last winter that the governor of the trusty commonwealth pointed with pride" in his annual message to the fact that substantially every item of the states budget is now met from alien corporation char ters. A lot of dead ones" every year don't count.
 The corporation laws of Arizona have attracted great many here dur ing the last four years to incorporate companies under them. The Arizona law, however, provided 10 license fee on foreign corporations formed under it. This was a sad mistake. There has not been company incorporated in Arizona that would not have stood Q license tax of s25 to $50 for the privilege. A bill was introduced in the last legislature providing for franchise tax on corporation and it is to be regretted that it did not become 8 law. Such a tax would be a great relief to our present oFertaxed condi- ton.

HOW THEY VOTED.

A list has been prepared by mem Der of congress showing how the men who are now mentioned for president voted in 1896. That list is as follows;
 Carter Harrison voted for Bryar and sswell.
 " H. Hearst. Bryan and sewell.
 Grover Cleveland, Palmer and Buck Ter.
 David B. Hill, Palmer and Buckner.
 Alton B. Parker, Bryan and sewall. Arthur P. German, Bryan and sewall-
 David R. Francis, Palmer and Buck ner.
 Richard P. onley. Palmer and Buck Ter.
 William c. Whitney. Mckinley and Buckner.
 Edward L. shephard. Palmer and Buclner.
 Tom L. Johnson. Bryan and Sewall. Henry waterson, Palmer and Buck slf.
 kt IS not DGl6FSu LAdt any AAo-A known to have voted for Mckinley against Bryan in either 1896 CT 1900 need hope for the democratic nsmina- ton in 1904. Thousands and thousands of democrats, who did not fully agree with him on the dominant issue of his two campaigns votew for him, be- cause the issue and the candidate had been indoEsed by a twothires vote of the national convention. A vote against Bryan was not only vote against free silver. but it was a vote against all the time-honored princi- ples of the democratic party; it was an endorsement of the vicious and fa- voritism protective tariff principle; an endorsement of imperialism and every other sin of the republican party. Men may bolt and scratch nominations when it is known that the nominee is unworthy in local cleo tions, but turning his back on party principles and refusing to follow when two-thirds, yea. ninetenths of his par ty Is leading. is different proposi- ton

cRowTH OF TERRIsLE evll

4 penalty musti inevitably be exacted
 for excesses in any direction, and one
 that seems to be paid to ever increas-
 ing amount, as a result of the feverish
 social and commercial life in the
 United States, is represented by the
 growth in the use of stimulants and
 sedatives. The high pressure under
 which Americans have been conduct
 ing both their business and their pleasures has developed a tendency to make use of drugs which purchase little ease for the nerves or a tempo rary exhileration, at cost of long suffering and eventual undermining of the physical, mental and moral forces.
 The bureau of statistics presents figures on the importation of drugs which indicate an increase in con sumption that should be little short of alarming. In 1898 the importation of medicinal opium was F, ,2S7 pounds; in 1902 it had increased nearly 800 per cent, or to 54s,674 pounds. The i'm portations of morphia and salts rose from s35659 in 1898 to 96,559 in 1902. In the same period the impor- tations of cocaine and salts rose from s5s, ,e6o to s254,7O4, and those of opium and morphia from s9ss. .es0 to s2,54s,421.
 It is well known fact that the drug habit has become more common year by year. The criminal records show that it's prevalence is so wide spread as to be appalling During the last nine months there have been 14S deaths from insanity in Chicago, and the coroner reports that onehalf of these were due to the use of cocaine Investigations are said to indicate that not few railroad wrecks are due to the use of cocaine; railroad men do not dare to use liquor because the signs of it's use are easily detected and resort to cocaine as a substitute.
 It has become evident that the evil i must be checked. so far as possible, by a regulation in the sale of these drugs. So long as there is Q demand for them, however, there will probably be found those who will engage in H. licit traffic. and the question must re solve itself, as in the case of intem- into an appeal to the indi- vidual conscience. Such an appeal will assuredly have to be made if the use of drugs increases in the future as it las during the past few years.

The people Of this country have had a good taste of Republican power. during the last seven years. During that time. encouraged and assisted by the high protective tariff policy of the republican party. the most vicious form of monopoly has been fastened upon the industries of the country. competition has been killed and the path of progress has been barred to individual effort and ambition. Viii the party responsible for this great threatening evil of combined monopoly be continued in power? If 1t is, who can tell what irreparable damage may occur to this country, in conse- quence during the next four years?

TRUSTS IN NO DANGER
 REPUBLICANS PoWERlE EsS.

The friends of President Roosevelt continue to whistle. like the boy pass ing through the graveyard, to keep up an appearance of not being alarmed. They keep up the twaddle about what the president is going to de for the trusts, but as no move has been made which was not agreed to by the trusts themselves no one has been deceived
 The republican party is now con trolled by the men who control and operate the great trusts of the coun- try. This fact is becoming more and more prominent every day and the people of the country are fast getting their eyes open to the true situation. Roosevelt and his friends may whis- tie and talk about regulating the trusts, but such talk will avail noth- ing. What can Roosevelt do without the help of Mark Hanna, Aldrieh. Platt and the other great leaders of his party, whose campaign slogan has already been announced as stand pat" oI the tariff schedules.
 Without the protection afforded by the tariff schedules the price on trust manufactured goods could not be ar bitrarily fixed; there would be limit, whereas now there is practically none. The republicans know this and even President Roosevelt has ad- vised that when 6 tariff schedule was being used by "bad trusts" to impose on the people it should be modified or But there has been no move in this direction, notwithstand- ing the fragrant robbing that is visi- ble on every hand.
 There will be a lot of campaign tWaddle about opposition to the trusts, but no republican congress will ever call halt.

caught the dog by the tail. Lott

away with the dog as the connecting

dog out of his shop. The dog shot out
with some rapidity and knocked over
woman with jug Of milk. The
woman broke the jug and upset an
elderly gentleman, and the jug cut
both of them. At that moment a cy-
clist arrived and was thrown off his
machine by the PROSTATE figures, and
simultaneously a cart came up and
smashed the bicycle. The magistrate
blandly advised the entire squad to
proceed against the dog, and they are
