Size of the Labor Question.

BY far the biggest question before
the American people today, in the opin-
ion of the Boston Journal, is the right
of the individual man to work if he
chooses to work, to refuse to work l.
the wages or other conditions of en-
ployment don't suit him, and Ito be
let alone when parties in whose af-
fairs he has no interest and ever whom
he has no control are fighting out some
quarrel of their own"
1t is a big question: tremendous
one, a fear-compelling one IS to the
manner Of its final solution. And the
wonder is that the serious, the think
ing the patriotic among our eighty
odd millions of people are on the whole
so slow to grasp it, so cautious in adj
uniting that the present attitude of or
Eanized labor toward the industry and
the business Of the country presents
constant menace to the survival of the
principles laid down in the declaration
Of independence, a standing obstacle
in the path of our progress and pros
is only one of a comparatively few
newspapers that have the courage Of
their convictions in this direction. Too
many of them that WELD a great in
fluence are apparently afraid to APP
proach the issue squarely; others open
" betray their nervous and timid
prejudices on the side Of organized Ia
Dor: and not a few are Open-mouthed
Organs" of the leaders who are res
ponsible for most of the vicious poll
cies of the labor cause. 1t is there
fore inspiritirg to hear our Boston
contemporary call things by their right
names.
Referring to the recent and present
labor strikes the Journal says that this
condition of affairs is "monstrous. 1t
is something" II adds, that cannot
long be tolerated in a free country. I'm
less we are to give up law and order
and government, and accept anarchy
as our normal state, the forces OF So
clety must assert themselves to put
down, at whatever cost. such attacks
upon decency and the social order"
The forces of society" are assert
ing themselves to this end-but too
slowly, it is much to be feared. The re-
Gently organized national association
of employers is one form of this AS
scrtion"-but only one. and some timid
souls cry out that the movement is for
war" and not for industrial peace"
But when, pray was a really great
cause ever left to drift peacefully to it's
cwn solution? Never! 1t has to be
fought out
Within the next half-year both the
two great political parties in the Unit
ed States viii hold national conven-
tons and adopt platforms. Both tho
latter will abound, no doubt in we'll
rounded periods-more or less platitu-
dinous-on the currency, Cuba, the Pa
mama canal, the Philippines, the tariff,
the ballot, the trade Of the far east.
and so on. But will either party dare
to tell the plain truth about organized
labor and its politics? viii either care
or deem 1t polite to take a firm stand
on the biggest question before the
American people today?"

IF some way could be devised BY
which the Newark and New York pa
pers could be brought to see how alb
solutely they fail in exerting any
political influence it would be a bless
ing to their readers. They NEEDLE in
affairs about which they know moth.
ing, misrepresent facts if not deliber.
ately lie about public officials, and
make themselves a general nuisance
And the disgusting thing about it all
is the high moral tone they arogate to
themselves as they discuss public af-
fairs. Take the present campaign,
for instance, these papers selected
Senators Wakelee, Lee and Shin as
their victims, and yet all of them were
selected for denomination by their
constituents. Really, Judging from

best passport to popular favor would
seem to be the opposition of these

been on the State board Of Taxation
for fourteen years, and has never made
a practical suggestion for improving
the tax laws so far as anyone has ever
heard of while it is notorious that
when the question of the taxations of
corporations are concerned, the board
has always given them very liberal
consideration. The platform also as
serts that EVERY factory, every farm,
every home id New jersey, is taxed at
full local rates, and there IS an APP
pearance Of truth III the Statement;
but it would be equally true il it said (:
Every factory every farm, every
home in New Jersey, is listed at a per
centage of its actual cost, varying
from twenty per cent upwards" and
while the rate is :. full local rates, !"
the tax does not average fly per cent;
and every man who owns property
knows this. 1t sounds harsh to prop
erly designate such statements as that
made in this paragraph Of the plat
form. In the language Of the Crimes
Act, they are made with intent to
deceive.
The Republican party is the party
in this State that has presented to
the people practical tax legislation and
it will be continued in authority to do

THE New York Herald started
the story last week that former At
torney General Griggs was opposed to
the Republican National ticket. That
gentlemen denies the story, however,
and says that he will do all he can to
secure the election Of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks and is satisfied they will be
elected. He says that if he is asked
to take the stump for them he will
have to decline owing to the pressure
of his private business. Mr.. Griggs
has been highly honored by the Re-
publican party, and ifhe is called upon
there is no reason why he should not
spare a little time from his private
business for the good Of his country
the same as the rest of us.

THE Newark Advertiser" few
days ago published an article setting
forth the qualifications of Mayor
Henry NJ. Doremus Of that city for the
gubernatorial Office, and said the Re-
publican leaders could go much furth-
er and fair worse than by putting him
in nomination. Here in Morris coun-
ty we have warm feeling for Mayor
Doremus as be went out from us, but
we have a man In mind that meets

PRESIDENT RoosEvELr in his letter


PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT in his letter
of acceptance meets his Democratic
critics on their own ground and forces
the fighting. 1t was no doubt the pur-
pose Of the Democrats to place the Re
publicans On the defensive by attack
| ing thePresidenta and declaring that his
personality is the one great issue. But
the President has also turned critic
and he shows himself a master hand
with the critics pen. No more scaJl-
ing criticism Of any political party has
| appeared in many years.
The President points out the vacil-
lating maneuvres OF the Democratic
party which has sought to cover up its
past record by an agreed silence. The
party that advertises itself as safe and
sane by such methods is not to be
| trusted. The Democratic managers
have no ground for complaint. They
began Guerilla warfare without a
positive declaration upon any principle
Of government policy. They sought to
hold up the President as the exponent
of strenuous life and make him the
target Of all manner Of misrepresent-
ations and personal abuse. They sought
to create the impression that he was
too beligerent and impulsive to be safe.
He has given them ample proof Of his
bellieerencv. He has analvzed fine
Democratic party as il stands today.
reorganized On its alleged sane and safe
basis. His ANALYSIS Is Ditvless IN show
ING that his opponents do NOT mean
what they saw or that they are I'M
worthy to be trusted with the admin
istration of any Government. They
have abandoned all policies for which
they fought in the last two national
campaigns and by silence in their plat
form sought to create the impression
that they had accepted those issues as
settled; but by their criticism of the
Republican administration they show
that they are only masking their at
tack.
The President demands to know on
what ground the Democrats ask for
the confidence Of the people. Is it be-
cause they have agreed to keep silent
on the money standard during the
campaign and give no assurance as to
what policy they will pursue If clothed
with power? Is it because they have
made ambiguous their attitude toward
the Philippines beyond the criticism
of the present policy ? Is it because
they try to straddle the tariff question
BY declaring that protection is rob-
berry and at the same time assuring
the manufacturers that they are not
to be the victims Of free trade? is it,
because they do not know where they
stand regarding the Panama Canal,
the trust question and all other great
questions which are to be settled at
the polls either by sustaining or con-
demning the present governmental
policies toward those great questions {?

ASSESSORS MEET
The County Board Convened on
tuesday. Large Increase
IN Taxing Valuations.
The MATTER OF EXEMPTIONS

4 The board of assessors met in the
Freeholders room of the court house
on Wednesday. The members were
| all present and the reports showed q
general advance in the tax valuation
Of the county. The omission of ex
emptions makes great difference. G.
4. Cook of Madison was chairman, and
J. @. White, secretary.
i The principal matter of discussion
was the case of st. Elizabeth's Con
vent, located in Morris township and
the borough Of Florham Park. Chair
man Cook brought it up when Asses
sor Young erorted $25l 900 exempt
property in Florham. In reply to the
chairman's question, he stated that be
had not assessed the convent, because
several years ago decision was rend-
cred that the property was exempt.
Mr., Cook said that the same decision
stated that any property purchased
after the date OF the decision was as
sessable, and he knew additional lots
had been bought. Mr.. Young said he
had sold the Institution fifteen acres.
| Mr.. Cook said that the owners Of
the school had been offered million
and a half for the place, and since the
offer expensive buildings had been
Ierected, so that it is worth two or two
and a half million dollars. The new
law does not exempt school properties
run for profit from taxation. Every
pupil there pays S400 year, and the
profit is enormous. If it was run as a
charity the new law allows only five
acres Of land to be exempt for each
building, and this institution owns
three hundred acres of the finest land
in the county He said he had assess
ed Drew Seminary on forty acres of
land, the excess above the limit allowed
by the new law on advice Of the Madi-
son Counsel, although Drew has a
special charter and is supported large
/ ly BY gifts.
Assessor Miller said the same thing
had been done with the Seton Hall
property In South Orange. When
assessor Of old Chatham township he
had assessed the Convent for farm
land and the tax had been paid.
Assessor Young demurred, but AS
SCISSORS Parliaman of Rockaway Dor
ough and Chamberlain of Netcong up
held the views Of the chairman. County
Collector Mclean told what would be
the effect financially If the Convent
fought the matter, as it undoubtedly
will, both in case the tax Is collected Or
the case lost.
Mr., Cook had asked the adj
vice Of the Sts i;oaEd In the matter.
and other nlelnGers said they had
heard Commissioner Black refuse any
advice. Mr.. Cook further said he had
written Mr.. Blacls and had a letter
from him refusing to take up the mat
ter until it gets mitigation. In view
OF the fact the state board will not
Igiye advice, neither will the freehold
I ers allow counsel ia such important
matters, he said the case was up to the
best judgement Of The assessors. I'm

tants.
The total assessable valuation was
found to be $50, AIS. 205 an increase Of
81, 267, 482 over last year. The in
crease of course lowers the county and

Summit Expressmen Bring Action.
Summit local expressmen have
brought an action against the Shepard
Transfer Co. IS representatives in that
town, charging them with the viola
ton o.. the towns express and hack
ordinance, and intend to carry the
matter up.
The other express firms believe they
will prevent the attempt to give the
Shepard Company monopoly and will
probably haYe such support as it will
be possible for the Common Council
to give them In this attempt. They
belieYe they have the best of the posi-
tion because the Shepard Company
has obtained one of the city's regular
express licenses and IS therefore bound
by its regulation prohibiting the solic-
iting Of business on the station plat
forms. II they enter a plea that they
have some special arrangement with
the LackaWanna and should not there
fore be regarded as a local concern
they still cannot do business in the
city without that license.
