The Conmoner

MR.. BRYANS PAPER,
will be especially interesting and instruc-
tive during the present session of congress.
The action of this congress will probably
determine the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign will be fought.
The CommOner proposes to carry on a
campaign of education and organization
to the end that democratic principles may
triumph.
In addition to the editorial department.,
which receives Mr.. Bryan's personal at
tention The Commoner contains Cur
rent Topic department, wherein nom
partisan discussion of topics of timely in
terest and other valuable leinformation will
be found. The Home Department is con-
Quoted by an experienced woman who is
widely known as writer of household
topics and who is authority on the art of
cooking in all that the term implies. This
department. alone is worth the subscrip-
ton price. The other departments OF the
paper are all interesting and ably con-
Quoted, among which is summary of the
world d's news, told in narrative style, and
Mr.. Maupin's department, Whether
Common or Not contains original anec-
dotes and wit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appeals to old and
young alike.
The Commoner as whole is clean, en-
tertaining and instructive and its rapid
increase in circulation now amounting to-
l40, ,00O-is proof of the papers strength
and influence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied at very low rate with The
Penn's Grove Record both papers for one
year for $1.65. This offer applies to both
new and renewal subscriptions and should
be taken advantage without delay. All
orders should be sent to the Record office,

Party Policy

Charles R. Bacon, the New Jersey edi-
tor of the Philadelphia Record, in speak
ing of Governor Murphy's message says:
Still, SO far as the Republicans are con-
cerned, the message has been received
with all the manifestations of approval.
Not one OF the leaders of the party has
come out in an expression of disapproval
of the sentiments there given wide pub
licity. Indeed, it would seem that he
had voiced the sentiment of the party in
the State on the subject Of the Trusts,
for it is said that the Governor submitted
that part of his message to some of the
party leaders after he had written it, and
that it had their hearty approval.
The Governors message was entirely
silent upon the subject of the Meeker
election law, for the repeal of which there
has been steady and sturdy demand
ever since it began to upset things in the
State. The cry for the repeal of the law
has come from no one source but is COM
mon to all sections and all parties in the
State, so that it need not be made par
tisan measure. It was rather odd, there
fore, that the Governor should ignore the
subject entirely. 1t is likely, neverthe-
less, that bill for the repeal of the law
may he introduced before the session is
very old, and it may place some of the
party leaders in delicate position, since
some of them are in favor of the law and
SOME very much opposed to it.

When Most Potent.

An ad is not always the most potent III
the selling season, when everybody is
busy and trade is usually active, but
rather between seasons and in dull times,
when buyers are constantly looking
about them for the very best that is OBJ
tainable for their money, when they buy,
if at all, with extreme care, and when
they are mapping out the business cam
paign for the coming season. They have
the time at such periods as these, and
they take it to consult business announce
ments in the expectation of receiving
hints that will introduce them to good
stroke in the time of activity; that will
enable them to buy to better advantage,
or teach them how they may improve
their product for the expected busy sea-
son.-Cycle Age.

The law makers held short session
this week. The session Of the Assembly
lasted only n minutes on Monday night.
Sixty-two bills and two concurrent reso-
lutions made their appearance in the Leg
islature Monday night.
Senator Hudspeth introduced bill to
repeal the Meeker law His bill will
meet with some opposition because it
provides for the election of city officials
on April 18th and cuts short the terms of
those already elected by making the
terms Of the new officials begin May 1st.
Governor Murphy who favored the law
now expresses willingness to sign re-
pealer, because Of the strong sentiment
throughout the state against the law. He
however, seems to favor a referendum
clause which will allow the people to pass
on it before taking the repealer.
Senator Gebhart, Democrat, of Hunter
don County, is the author ofaconcurrent
resolution proposing constitutional
amendment providing for the election Of
Assemblymen by districts in the several
counties He is also the author Of a
resolution recommending an amendment
to the Federal Constitution, providing
for the election Of United States Senators
by popular vote. Mr.. Gerhardt also in
troduced bill limiting to $l00, 200, ,000
the authorized capital of any corporation.
The danger which menaced Camden for
some months last summer, when Phil
adelphia came SO near planting its pest
house on Petty Island, is not likely to
rise, spectre-like, again. Senator Brad
ley introduced bill that is calculated to
keep the ghost down.
Assemblyman Hand introduced a bill
to have synopsis of the laws published
in the newspapers.
There has been much dissatisfaction
over the manner in which State Factory
Inspector John C. Ward has administer
ed the affairs of his office. Assemblymar
Lord, of Essex, gave surprise by intro
ducing bill giving the Governor power
to suspend or discharge the inspector up
on due cause being shown and hearing
given.
On Tuesday the Senate confirmed the
nominations sent in last week by Gov
ernor Murphy. These were Justice Dix
on, of Supreme Court, to succeed himself
Circuit Court Judge Swayze, of Essex, a.
Supreme Court Justice, to succeed Jus
tice Collins, who resigned, and Judge
Frederick Adams, as Circuit Judge t.
succeed Judge Swayze.
OF the bills introduced, one by Senato
Lee changes the county seat of Atlantic
county to Atlantic City, and aconcurren
resolution by Mr.. Wakelee agrees to th'
judiciary amendment to the Constitution
that was adopted year ago.
The Senate adjourned for the week.
There was no session of the House OF
Tuesday, that body having adjourne'
Monday night for the week.

Paulsboro, in Gloucester county, the home
OF Congressman Loudenslager, where the
& American Tin Can Company, Of Chica-
60, organized under the laws Of New Jer-
sey with capital Of $50, ,0O0, 900, is rapid
" completing one Of the finest manufac-
turing plants in the country, the first
brick being laid on the 10 of August last,
and SO nearly ready is it now for partial
operation that 200 or more skilled wage
earners will be given employment inside
the next two months There is only one
other plant of the kind in existence, a
duplicate of that at Paulsboro, now build
ing at Peoria, Ill, and also owned by the
Chicago company or Tin Can Trust
The Superintendent OF the Paulsboro
plant is Mr.. Gustave Schmaal, of Chicago
coming to this country from Hamburg,
Germany, and under whose intelligent
guidance the writer made a brief and
most interesting visit to the works. In
the main building two mammouth Corliss
engines were found in place and being
connected with the boiler room, contain
ing series Of steam generators similar to
those used in the largest battleships and
capable Of supplying not only the huge
Corliss engines, but half dozen or more
smaller ones used in the machine shops,
electrical and compressed air buildings.
the water works, and other necessary ad-
juncts. A huge trip hammer with ca
pacity Of weight and power to crush into
powder mass of the hardest steel, miles
of narrow gauge railway tracks, thous
ands of yards Of vats or tanks in double
rows fill the large building and the natur-
al query Of visitor at first sight is to
what use will all this intricate maze Of SUI
perb machinery, the steam, electric and
compressed air power be put.
"As before stated the secret is another
trust" object lesson. This particular
New Jersey ''trust" controls IA tin can
manufactures scattered over the country,
producing about 80 per cent of all the
goods IN their line, and for the purpose
OF utilizing what has been considered a
troublesome waste and to utilize it the
Paulsboro and Peoria plants were devised,
Instead of paying for its removal to a
dumping ground, the cutting or the clip
pings of the tin used are now carefully
gathered and command SIG per ton, more
than fair price for two tons Of coal.
Sent to Paulsboro or Peoria the compon-
ent parts Of this heretofore waste tin and
steel are separated and returned in their
original condition to the factories con-
trolled by the American Tin Can Com
pany., That is the whole story.
"Paulsbolo is destined in very short
time to become by far the largest city in
Gloucester county and rank second to
Camden in South Jersey"

The Governor ON Trusts.

Governor Murphy's challenge to the
opponents of the trusts, is, as the Adver-
tiser remarked yesterday, not likely to
60 unnoticed. By anticipating s'some
carping critic who will say
there is something of more value to the
State than money" the Governors argu-
ment is made none the less assailable.
President Roosevelt, who is 80 con-
vinced of the necessity of trust reform
that he may call special session of Con-
gress, if necessary, is one of the carping
critics to whom the Governor throws
down the gauntlet.
Neither does the Governor give strength
to his argument by the showing that the
term trust is generally misapplied. Its
popular acceptation has become fixed A
trust, as popularity interpreted, means a
consolidation, combine, pool or gov
ernment Of two or more naturally COM
peting concerns, which establishes linn
tied monopoly with power to fix prices or
rates in any industry or group of indus
tries" What's in name? An indus
trial or other combination that conspires
to raise unjustly the price of a commod-
ity to the consumer is an evil, no matter
what it may be termed.
No reasonable man has any quarrel
with trusts, as such. It is those that
have degenerated into monopolies, that
have watered stock beyond the point of
safety to the nations financial welfare,
that President Roosevelt is after.
And many of the monopolies in ques-
ton were generated and are fostered by
the laws of the State of New jersey. OF
the 2l3 principal trusts in the United
States named by one authority 1914 were
incorporated in this State. It is true that
New Jersey reaps large reward from
the corporations organized under our
laws, but has New Jersey no high duty
to her sister States in the Union? In q
number of well-known instances our State
reape the rewards Of giving birth to colos-
oesa SOAAO4A1oVAOuos WAuo Vuc WuOl0 COuu-
try reaps the evils.
Governor Murphy has taken q bold
stand on this question, and he deserves
credit for his courage, but he will find it
difficult, at this time especially, to con-
vince people that he is correct The pre-
sent coal famine could not have been
brought about had not an illegal COM
bination of operators and railroads con-
trolled practically the entire anthracite
field, 80 that strike shutting down one
colliery shut down all.
The recent exorbitant prices of meat
are still keenly in the recollection Of the
wage-earner. In this city at present a
cigar store corporation has begun q sys-
tematic warfare on retail dealers. It has
driven many Of the retailers out Of bust
mess in New York, and has the same de-
sign upon all the large cities in the coun-
try. These are few Of the common in
stances Of the evils Of trusts. And if the
aegreglte evil Is 20 great that the trust
question now oyershadoWs everything
else before Congress, can II be that no re-
form i needed in the corporation laws of

Ex-senator George F. Edmunds, who
was chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee when the Sherman Anti Trust
law was passed, and one of the best law
yers and corporation attorneys in the
nation says that the Sherman Anti Trust
law is entirely capable Of putting an end
to such so-called Trusts, and that the
fault lies in the administration Of the
law. A good law is not worth the paper
it is printed on if the attorney general or
law officers do not enforce it. It is up to
President Roosevelt to appoint an attor-
ney general who will enforce it.

Reed Smoot, Mormon Saint has been
elected as q Republican Senator from
Utah. While he does not practice poly
sgamy, he will not deny he believes in it.
The greatest objection to his holding the
Office is that as an apostle of the Mormon

he gives adhesion to the peculiar doctrine
of divine inspiration and thereby for
swears the State and the General Gov
ernment and all other than his absolute
physical and moral responsibility to the
Mormon Church.
