At the meeting of the Democratic County
Committee OF this county in Woodbury.
last Thursday, resolution pledging the
support Of this county to Mr.. Ferrell's

that the Ferrell sentiment is spreading
throughout the State With Ferrell.as the

Governor Murphy's Commission
from the Hoboken Observer.


Governor Murphy has at last found FIVE
able-bodied citizens of this state willing to
undertake the somewhat thankless lob of
advising the legislature whether or not ii
ought to perform its constitutional duty
and enact law taxing all property alike,
whether it is owned b the rich or the poor.
by individuals-or corporations.
Former Governor George I. Werts.
whose selection yesterday completes the
auintette which the executive has had 50
much difficulty in assembling, makes The
board stand like this:
Charles c. Black, taxation expert and
conceded to be the leading advocate in the
state Of equality. Resident of Hudson.
Major Carl Lent, has an anti-equal tax
alton record and is an outspoken opponent
xof anything that would iniure his railroad
friends. Lives in and is the ring boss Of
Essex.
Henry J. West, protege of David Baird,
and is all that that implies Lives in Cam
den.
Chandler W. Riker, immersed to his ears
ia trolley affairs and was the principal
stakeholder and the president of the Cen
trail New Jersey lines before they were
absorbed Lawyer by profession and on
the alert for railroad retainers which he
often gets. Lives in Newark.
George T. Werts, lawyer, Democrat and
general practitioner. Sometimes appears
in important cases as counsel of railroad
corporations, but has never been regarded
as especially friendly to them Lives in
jersey City.
There are at least three members on the
commission who will vote to advise the ne 1t
Legislature that its duty lies along the lines
of compromise and for the melting out of a
small crumb Of relief, maybe, to one mum
icipality in Hudson.
Former Governor Werts' selection is
especially significant at this time. 1t i'll
ustrates the absurdity of depending for the
accomplishment of great reform upon a
commission which has no legislative power.
Werts was a member of the Morris canal
commission of last year. With him were
associated former Governors John w
Griggs and Foster M. Voorhees, They pre-
sented to the legislature not only report
but bill for enactment and the lawmakers
in their dissertation and might, stuffed botf
into the waste basket and went home.
Whether the present commission form
ulates good report or bad one there is ne
guarantee that after election, if the rine
shall be returned to power, that that repor
will ever see the light of day. Lawmakers
as we saw in the canal incident, take advice
when it suits them and reject it when it i.
unsatisfactory.
There is only one way TO get equal taxa
tion in New Jersey. That is by turning
out the state house ring and by electing 9
governor and members Of the legislator,
who are pledged. to the reform.

Lifelong Republicans, out

Two influential Republicans have come
out for Parker Theodore Cox and William
G. Choate, both of them lifelong members

Mr.. Cox has been especially prominent
in Republican circles. He was president

Ninth District in 1900, was delegate to
the Republican state conventions in 1893
and 1900, and was president of the Re-
publican College League in 1894-5
Mr.. Cox has announced his political
change in an open letter, in which be
condemns President Roosevelt for his dis
regard.of constitutional limitations.
AS TO Mr.. Parker, = Mr.. Cox goes on to
explain in his letter, all I can say is that
his career shows that he is not a poser IN
any line, who, while claiming no virtues
above those of the majority of his fellow
citizens, has filled his place with unas-
Stunning honor and credit. Moreover, his
god telegram shows strength of character
of high order, and his speech Of acceptance
reveals safe and sane man, who appreci-
ates the responsibility of his position, and
who, if elected, will give the country an adj
ministration whose purpose will be con-
tinuance of the steady growth thas has
gradually and surely, and not by any ire

FLASH LIGHT
SCARED ROBBER
II RAIN CREW PREVENTED THE

FROM BEING LOOTED:

a crew OF tie B. and O. railroad
company went East about IL o,cIoc1;
| Monday night with engine No. 1888
on an extra run. While taking wat.
er at Shinnston, the engineer and
fireman saw a man putting a ladder up
to the second story window OF the
| Postoffice building. He next ran up
the ladder and seemed to be trying
first to raise and then lower the win
dow but without success The slls-
picton of the crew being aroused by
his actions, they. slipped up near to
him and then flashed their light on,
him when he leaped from the ladder
and made his escape in the darkness.
The time being up for their train to
move on, the crew rushed to their
positions, but said nothing to the con-
ductor about their little side expert
their run at Gypsy. On the way. back
an hour later they again stopped at
Shinnston when they saw the ladder
still UP at the window, and concluded
to investigate farther. They accord
ing1y awakened the postmaster and
his wife and stood guard while they
explored the room and premises. The
window was found to be still open
about eight inches from the top, but
SO tightly fitting that it could not
easily be forced any further without
instruments which would arouse the
occupants in the effort It being evil
dent that no entry was effected, and
the ladder still left at the window, was

flashing the light on the man in the
first instancehad frightened him away
and prevented an intentional robbery.
The postmaster heartily thanked
them for the timely part played by
them and thus frustrating the at
tempted burglary, which but for their
action would have been learned by
him too late&to obviate, Judging from,
he progress already made when
frightened away by the crew.
