Ex-Assemblyman Leon Albeit, son
of the former Governor, is q candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for State Senator to succeed Senator
Hudspeth, and claims his chances are
as good as either of the other two
candidates. The silence of Senator
Hudspeth with reference to II third
term rather mystifies the situation,
for it is conceded that if he should
seek q denomination he can have it.
To run again would destroy Demo-
cratic precedent in Hudson. and il

COMPETITION is NEEDED.

1t is very probable that when the
bids for paving the one block In
Smith street with asphalt are opened,
it will be found that the Barber As
phalt Company is the only bidder.
Those opposed to the asphalt will
doubtless point ont the lack of COM
petition. If there is no competition
it is only the city's fault for 1t is
hardly to be expected that a company
will bring an asphalt plant to Perth
Amboy ut much expense merely to
pa We one block.
II the Warren Bitulithic Paving
Company, which is so anxious TO
pave Rector street without competi-
tion, really wants to do something for
Perth Amboy that company might
como in and bid against the Barber
Asphalt Company in the paving of the
one block III Smith street, In Harris
burg, Pa, the Warren company bid
against the Barber company on an as
phalt pavement, why not come in
kere and force competition? 1t ooks
as if the Warren company wants the
whole field to themselves If not at
all. The Evening News has nothing
against the Warren company, but we
are opposed to closed spec ifications.
II the Warren company can win the
Rector street contract with fair COM
petition, we will welcome their pave
ment. The street needs improving
badly. II the Warren company goes
into the fold and bids against theBar-
Der company in laying asphalt pave
ment i'll Harrisburg, why does it OBJ
ject to the Barber company going into
the field and bid against them in lay
ing q bituminous pavement in Perth

CARBONDALE, Ill, May PA dis
astrous explosion occurred in the Big
Muddy Coal and Iron company's coal
mine at Heron shortly after the men
went to work. 'Hi'
About 1926 men were at work in the
mine when a car containing fifty kegs
of powder exploded. The cause of the
explosion is not known. Eighty In
jured men and six dead have been re-
moved from the mine.
The mine was badly wrecked, max
ing the rescue work difficult. Thirty
nine mules were killed.
Luckily a majority Of the miners
were working in other parts of the
shaft when the explosion occurred and
were uninjured. They were thus able
to assist with the rescue work.
1t is not known how many men were
working in the vicinity Of the explo-
sion. 1t is believed that several are
lead and covered with wreckage. 1t
also is feared that some Of the wound
ed may be shut off from the rescuers
Ind may die before being reached.
Mangled and mutilated bodies of
hose instantly killed were piled upon
those who were so badly injured that
they were unable to move after the
flames had swept over them. Scores
Of men were lying crushed and groan-
ing in the narrow passages Of the mine
when the relief work began.
The powder that exploded is thought
to have been ignited by the premature
turning on of the electric current which
operates the machinery of the mines.
The bodies of the dead men were
frightfully mangled.

ALE9F.r WORD.

By the time these words reach the
eyes of considerable portion of our
readers the casting of the ballots will
have begun. The days work will de-
eide the conduct of municipal affairs
for two years to come. The work of
the campaign, with its serious presen-
tation of facts and its spread-eagle at
tempts to bluff the ignorant into con-
viction, are all over. There remains
only the calm decision Of the citizen,
which should be reached with an eye
single to his duty as voter and as man.
Laying aside every appeal to party
or to personal prejudice, we ask him
to consider that duty this morning be-
fore he goes to the polls by no other
light than that furnished by his own
conscience. If the Democratic candi-
dates and the Democratic cause cannot
win on their merits, they ought not to
win at ALL 1t is because we are So ut
terly confident of the Brightness of that
cause that we have made the fight and
now appeal to the public on the highest
plane.
We appeal confidently to the voter
in behalf of the Democratic ticket, in
the name of good government itself
Its candidates are unimpeachable. The
men on the city ticket are tried and
not found wanting. The assembly
candidates are men whom it should be
a delight to our people to honor, and
that without single exception. The
aldermanic candidates as a whole are
worthy Of the positions that. they desire
to fill. But, however a voter may feel
about his ward representative, upon
whose character and service he is es-
pecially qualified to judge, he ought
not to have any hesitation about vot-
ing the Democratic city and assembly
ticket straight. Not for any gain to
Democracy, but for the best interests
of st. Paul, for the encouragement of
good government everywhere, we ap-
peal to the people to elect these can
didates by those rousing majorities
that they have earned.

BILsE AND MILITARIsM.

Lieut.. Bilse, whose book, In a Lit
tie Garrison Town." created a sensa-
ton in military circles in Germany and
was the cause Of the writer's being
sentenced to six months imprisonment
in military prison, has just been re-
leased, and announces that he will de-
vote the remainder of his life to a lit
erary crusade against the evils of mill
tarism as it exists in Germany. Owing
to the fact that the lieutenant has
dozen duels to fight as the result of
his book, any announcement of future
plans would seem a trife premature.
He may prove less mighty with the
sword than with the pen, and in that
event his brother officers will see to it
that he is put where authorship ceases
to trouble. But should an untoward
fate cut short his mission, he will at
least have the satisfaction of carrying
with him to the grave the knowledge
that his suppressed book has been the
means of bringing about some reforms.
Although Emperor William CON
demned the book. he has profited by
the information it contained and has
broken up a number of disreputabIe
military cliques by sending the officers
to widely separated posts.
When Thomas Atkins explained that
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-05-03

single men in barracks are not cut out
for plaster saints, he spoke from a
wide experience and his statement may
be accepted as approximating the
truth. But in every country where
militarism is not rampant, the soldier
does not make a bad citizen; and in
soldier ridden countries like Germany
it is not the private or the non-com-
missioned officer who is guilty Of Of
fenses against law and decency; as a
rule 1t is the commissioned officer
Even IL he is not cut off in his prime,
it is not probable that BiIse's mission
viii accomplish more than Bilse's book
has already accomplished.
The fault in Germany is not SO mucf1
with garrison life itself as with the
German officers training. He is taught
to regard himself as a superior mortal,
whose only concern should be military
efficiency. The result is a large num-
Der of little tin gods who have no re-
spect for public opinion. There are
German officers, of course, who are not
harmed by such training, but the ma
jority are victims of it. And so long
as the military man continues to be re-
garded by the ruling class of any coun-
try as one exempt from all ordinary
restraints he will continue to be Of
fensive. Bilse's book revealed the
worst phases of garrison life. Bilse's
mission cannot do more, and it is prob
able that the German people them
selves are tolerably familiar with those
phases, so that it is hardly necessary 20
emphasize them. Reform must begin
with the training Of the military and
naval cadets. Until a higher ideal of
manhood is inculcated in them, the
conditions of garrison life will proba-
bly, continue to be deplorable.

thority of combinations of capital
finds itself approved by the laws as
they stand and looked upon with ia
.voring eyes by the judiciary. This,
however, does not crafty the appetite
and lust of power that has taken hold
of Repubiicanism, and it demands none
the less the enactment of that pre-
posterous and un-American doctrine
first announced by President Roosevelt
and booted at by his most ardent fol-
lowers.
Mr.. Roosevelt is to be his own cam
paign manager. Mr.. Roosevelt is also
going to write his own platform and
stamp his own ideas upon the party.
He meets no opposition from it's man
ayers to the plan which we are dis
cussing. They, too, desire progressive
Capitalization. They have found it
easy to handle big corporate interests.
They love to get checks in six figures
and to grant corresponding favors.
The agents of combination are with
them, and that system of politics in
business and business in politics which
Mr.. Steffens and others are describing
in magazines, in order to open the eyes
of the American people to the horrid
practices by which they are worked,
is dear to the Republican heart and
hope. The Roosevelt campaign will be
carried on with the idea of establish
ing, if he and his party succeed, a ma
tional control of corporations before
the end of his term of Office.
They mean to do something which
King Edward today would rot dare
to propose to his parliament, and for
attempting which Emperor William
would lose his throne. They mean to
stamp out individualism and independ-
ence in the simplest affairs of business
life, and to make the American gov
eminent and the system of American
graft one and inseparable henceforth
and forever. Democracy could ask no
better issue. On the basis of it's care
fully prepared and now fully disclosed
platform, we challenge the rea! issue
of Republicans before an independent,
honest and liberty loving people.
