And not all the fighting has been
due TO politics, either. There has
been honest difference OF opinion on
vital questions, and in many cases
the failure to agree has been more
due to honest but opposite opinions
thanato policy. There are members
OF both Houses, such as Senator For
man, who are honestly opposed to
the creation Of new Offices, and for
that reason a number Of them oppos-
ed the Darst pure food bill. Sena-
tor Campbell has introduced another
pure food bill-one without a com
mission--and while 1t is very late in
the session for new bills, 1T is alto
gether possible that this measure
may become a law.

Goodness Is on the Increase
By JAMES H. EcKELs. Former Comptroller of the currenc
United States

United States
A@HE very independence manifest in political affiliations shows
how deeply seated is the intent to have honesty in public
~ Office and conscientious discharge of public duty AS
AGAINST MERE PARTY SUCCESS and personal en-
regiment. Political independence is but another way of spelling poit-
ical conscience. We are having better municipal governments than
heretofore.
The desire to aid through acquired riches all the agencies that aid
to better education, better living and more self respecting acceptance
of charity everywhere abounds. There are few if any wealthy men
now who are not willing to use their riches with the purpose of aiding
their fellows. A selfish wealthy man is quite the most lonesome and
unhappy Of our citizens, and NO ONE ENVIES HIM his wealth
and the use of it. I think that the rich man is more honest with him
self than ever before. The result of this is gain and benefit to the
public.
WE CERTAINLY HAVE ADVANCED IN HONEST BUSINESS
METHODS, AND VENTURE THE ASSERTION THAT, AS A WHOLE,
THE EVIDENCE OF COMMERCIAL INTEGRITY IN THE UNITED
STATES is SECOND TO NONE THE WORLD OVER.
OF course L do not wish to be understood as saving that there is
not too much dishonesty still eYtant, but I do believe that, even with
graft and scandal manifest here and there, conditions Justify a hope
amounting to a fixed belief that American honor and probity and in
tegrity are very evident and controlling quantities in the vast majority
of public and private undertakings AND WILL CONTINUE
TO BE.

But there are lots of things Mercer
and every other county can learn

"Middlesex County Freeholders
have fixed the salary of that county's
engineer at $4,000. Mercer county's
engineer drew $4,000 in fees last
year. The F~reeholders of Mercer

system if they will put the offices of
county engineer and county solicitor
on a salary basis. It's up to the

have heard the story of the crime sec
ond-handed think the woman, who
was condemned should go free. The
jury said she must die. A governor
changed the sentence to life impris-
onment and now the Board of Par
dons has changed it again to n of
freedom. Surely this is vastly diff
ferent than what was intended by
the law.
When capital punishment is abol-
ishcd it will be ridiculous to make
life Imprisonment a substitute. That
really seems more cruel and heart
less than death. Then, too, the
American public is SO prone to for
get. A horrible crime today will
have lost all its horror twenty-five or
thirty years from now. Americans
forget and forgive easily. Justice is
much more apt TO be done and the
law stands a better chance of being
carried out If a limit is fixed to any
imprisonment-say thirty-five or
forty years. To many who would re-
ceiye such a sentence this would prac-
tically mean a life sentence. To those
who live hat long in prison, some eff
fort will doubtless be made to secure
their freedom and it will eventually
be successful. Better have the law
made so that it is certain of being
carried out rather than have it con
tinGGlly ignored. We believe capital
%punilhment nus go, but we do not
believe life Imprisonment should
take its place.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Camden POst-Telegram:

camden POSt-Ielegram.
Major Carl Lentz, chairman of the
State Board for the Equalization OF
Taxes. got after one of the tax shirk-
ers in Essex county, the other day,
and as a result the treasury of East
Orange was enriched $37.75, from
the pockets of a man who had here
tofore paid nothing toward maintain
ing the local government where he
resides. He is a wealthy man, with
investments in New York state.
Having loaned $500 on chattel
mortgage in this state, and the fact
becoming known to Major Lentz, the
latter saw TO it that the lender was
taxed on that amount of property,
much to his surprise.
There are lots of instances like
this, where persons owning consider
able personal property escape taxa.
ton, leaving real estate to bear more
than its fair proportion of the burden
of governmental expense.
We shall never have equal taxa
ton in New Jersey until all personal
property as well as real estate and
railroad property is assessed and
taxed.
Plainfield Courier-NewS:
Suggestions as to a means of max
ing ones town known to the outside
world by the use of signs at railroad
stations are commented upon thus by
the Bound Brook State Centre: "The
suggestion is a good one. Travellers
often wonder, when a train comes to
a stop, what the town is that spreads
out before them and wherein consti-
tutes its attractiveness. The rail-
roads are doing a good deal to ex-
plot and advertise the attractions,
both scenic and commercial, of most
of the important places along their
lines, but it wouldn't be an altogeth-
er bad idea for to residents to do a
little advertising themselves, if il
was nothing more than to set up a
bulletin of is at the station for the
enlightenn.cLt o. the passing travel
er. Such an innovation would un-
doubtedly result in calling the atten'
ton of travellers to the desirability
of the place from a residential stand
point.

LIFE IMPRISONMENT.

There is every reason to believe
that 1t will not be long before capital
punishment will be abolished in New
Jersey. The parol of Libbie Cara
brant is a big step in that direc-
ton. 1t becomes harder and harder
every year for the death sentence TO
be carried out and popular feeling is
growing stronger and stronger
against it.
With the death penalty prohibited,
What win take its place? What will
be done with the human being who
deliberately takes another's life?
Naturally life Imprisonment is at
once suggested. But will that do?
1t has been shown in more than one
instance, and the case of Libbie Gar
rabrant is the latest, that life i'm
prisonment does not mean that. 1t
has often been merely a sentence to
state prison for an indefinite period,
or, in other words, until a Board of
Pardons can be found who will ILL.,
crate the criminal.
Without entering into the Justice
or injustice of the recent action of
the board in setting Libbie Cara
brant free, the Board of Pardons has
radically told the gentlemen of the

The EVENING NEWS again throws
all precedent to the winds and estab-
fishes a new record today when he
regular issue consists of twenty
pages. In no city anywhere in his
section of the country, having twice
the population of Perth Amboy is
this record equalled. The unusual
demand of the advertisers crowds us
for space. This is the time of year
when the merchants want to reach
the people and they raelize that the
only way to do it is to take advan-
tage of the large circulation of the
EVENING NEWS. We make no sec
ret about it. Yesterday 1862 cop
les went out from this Office. This
means that an advertisement in the

$4,000 persons all living in this inn
mediate vicinity. 1t is no wonder
the progressive merchant insists up
on advertising in the EVENING

ATO man who has not done a mans work a a student should plv

collegiate games in one season, a dirty player should be
PERMANENTLY RULED OFF the field, and college authorities
should make a gentemens agreement that each man using the college
name is a bona fde student AND AN AMATEUR. The game, with
all its faults, has enormous usefulness and should not be given up
without a resolute effort to clear it from parasites and abuses.
