WOMEN MIXING IN THE MIRE or
POLITICS.

Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee, Wiscon
| sin, is reported to have recently sale
Of the Woman's Republican Club d
his city 81 felt like telling then
they had better be at home raising
babies than mixing in the mire O
politics. Z
Whenever women express desire tC
take a hand III politics there is great
CONSERVATION among the brethren, and
especially the politicians, great bogies
are flourished before them with such
scare-heads as -: When lovely woman
stoops to politics. z Women in the
dirty Pool of Politics." "Women in
the Mire of Politics." &C., and yet
these same men seem to think women
should be content to be governed by
laws emerging from SO foul source.
In the case of women it is always
'stooping to politics.
/ If it is true that politics have be-
come SO corrupt as to warrant their
being called by these vile names, is it
not high time that something was be-
ing done to drag them out of this
slough of corruption, and who would
be more likely to accomplish the task
than the women of this country who
stand for honesty and morality to the
greatest extent of any class.
Politics are but reflections of the
character of the majority having these
things in control, and as men consti-
tute over ninety-five per cent. Of our
criminals and less than one-third of
our church members, what can you
expect but corruption in politics when
only men look after them? What we
need is a higher average Of morality at
the ballot box to elect men of greater
moral worth
Women are in a vast majority in
nearly all organizations for the uplift-
ing of humanity, and as each class Of
voters elect men to Office who will rep
resent their own interests to the great
est extent, it is but reasonable to sup
pose that women, being more interest
ed in the home and the moral and
philanthropic side Of life, would see to
1t that these things were not neglected.
The continual emphasis that is being
placed upon stopping to politics Z
and its general acceptance by the peo-
Pile, reveals a dangerous lack of appre-
citation regarding the honor and dig
nifty Of government and must result in
grave danger to our Republic unless
something can be done toarouse public
conscience.

BEWARE Of Greeks bearing gifts, =
is proverb that may well apply in
politics. And when Democratic news
papers take to endorsing and pushing
Republicans for Republican nominal
tions it is pretty safe to conclude that
there is something behind it. The
Hackensack Republican has to say
on this subject
Comment by several Democratic
newspapers of this state might lead
some people toimagine that Assembly
man George Cook is a representative
of that party. They are exalting him
ia his effort to secure the nomination
for senator, and at the same time de-
preciating Senator Wakelee his oppo-
nent.
TT is an error to suppose that Mr..
Cook is anything but the staunch and
true Republican he has always. proved
himself to be, and doubtless always
will be. Those Democratic brethren
seem to have it I'M" fer Senator
Wakelee.

TALKING Of assessments at their
true value and equal taxation, the
State Board Of Taxation has just UNI
covered system Of assessment in
yailsburgh, Essex county, that beats
anything yet heard Of In the way of
cheating the constitutional command.
The assessor Of the town when on the
stand was cfess-examined by Major
Lentz, who brought from Che witness
the candid admission that property in
Vailsburgh was assessed at but one
third Of its true value. This caused
the Major to declare That The assess
ment was outrageous, and that will,
in all probability, be the end of the
punishment the assessor is entitled to.
If an example was made Of some OF the
assessors who so wilfully disregard
their official oaths, there would be
more equality in assessments.

CONSIDERABLY nisapprehensions seems
to exist in regard to the State con-
cyention to be held in Trenton next
week. Some papers are having it
that Governor will be nominated,
and some that the Republicans of this
District will nominate congressman
at that time. All of which is wrong.
BY the terms Of the call for the con-
vention it will be seen that nothing
will be done at the State convention
but selecting four delegates and four
alternates to the National Conven-
tion, while at the district convention
to be held the same day two district
delegates and two alternates will be
chosen.
BY the provisions Of the primary
election law all candidates for pres
idential electors, governor, members
OF congress, members of the general
assembly, state senator, county clerk,
sheriff, surrogates, and coroner, must
be nominated at conventions composed
of delegates chosen at primaries held
under the provisions OF the act The
date for holding the primaries is fixed
| by the law for the second Tuesday Of
september in each year this year the
thirteenth4 and the state, district
and county conventions will follow
4 that date. 1t has been decided by the
congressional committee Of this dis
trit to hold the congressional conven-
ton in Lyceum Hall, Morristown.
/ The date has not yet been decided up
on. In this convention Union county
will have about l24 votes, Morris

AS the time draws near for the
holding Of the Republican national

President beyond the shadow of a

congratulation to the party and

lieves III good government, a fearless
administration Of the law and the
curtailment of the encroachments OF
unscrupolous corporations must find
ground for rejoicing in the continued
ascendancy of the Roosevelt star
This is but saying that true Repub-
licans rejoice when true Republican,
ism is dominant in the party councils.
President Roosevelt is BY far the most
available man to head the Republican

to the line Of duty, and it only re-
mains for the people to demonstrate
that such is the kind Of man they
want to steer the ship of State.
tits we'll known that certain forces
in the financial world are the Pres
ident's implacable foes, and it is equally
well known that certain big combines
are hostile to him. He has fiouted
their overtures, defied their menaces,
and by SO doing has greatly increased
his strength with the body of the
people. A few months ago there we're
timid Republicans who were actually
frightened at the express or implied
threats of Morgan, Hill and other Wall
street magnates, but it is now evident
that there was never any occasion for
alarm. AS for the President, it is but
simple Justice to state that personal
considerations were never permitted
to influence his action in the slightest
degree. He resolutely kept himself
clear Of any partnership with fnan-
cial piracy or corporate greed. He
virtually forced Congress to pass law
turning the light of publicity upon
the trusts. 1t was his influence that
made the Department of Commerce
an agency for the promotion of integ-
rity among incorporated interests.
His was the influence that brought to
bay a competition-stifling railroad
merger, and to him must be accredited
the bringing Of suits, now in various
stages OF progress, against large
number Of law-defying corporations.
He antagonized powers that were sup
posed to hold his political fate in the
hollow Of their hands, but he never
faltered. Now those powers stand pill
loried before the public, unable to
guarantee their own salvation, much |
less to compass the destruction of Mr.
Roosevelt. The President has pur-
sued a straight course from the begin
ming. He has won the nomination by
deserving it, and he will win the elect
ion on the same ground. The Amer
lean people believe in him.

The matter of taxation is an i'm,
portant one, and it is of still more
Importance in the future if the strict
letter of the law is carried out by the
assessors. In another column is pub.
lished the circular to be sent out by
the State tax board calling attention
to some of the features of recent leg
islation In regard to this matter. 1t
will be seen that the board emphati-
cally expresses an opinion on the
matter OF assessing property on the
percentage basis, and makes the
assessor responsible for ascertaining
and assessing property at, it's true
value. If this was done there would
be no injustice to any one and each
citizen would bear his fair share of
the burdens Of taxation. An injustice
often perpetrated in making assess
ments is that Of taxing the proper
ties of nonresident and non-voters
more than other property in the inn
mediate neighborhood of equal value,
because, II is supposed, the assessor
considers that the voter can be Of
more benefit to the party in power
than his nom voting neighbor. Equal
taxation would lower the tax rate and
everybody wouldbe as well off except
the tax Shirker.
