FAcTs vs.. IA TOILETTE.


The Jersey City Journal has
given close attention to the Wiscon-
sin Senator's addresses, and has taken
the trouble to examine the Official re-
ports. Its presentation OF these makes
the contrast between Facts and La
Toilette very marked. Here is the
way the Jersey City turns on the
|searchlight
We can reproduce every railroad
in this country for 5000, GOO, 900, but
they are now inflated to Sl3, OO0, 900, 900;
each mile can be constructed for less
than $50, 900, although they have been
inflated to 5000, 900 per mile. La Fol-
lette, in his speech.
According to the official report for
1904 the total stock, bonds and other
obligations Of the railroads were S13,-
2l3l24,679, or 1854, 265 per mile: and
not 500, 900 per mile, as La Toilette
stated
4 The railroad corporations are the
mightieSt forces ever encountered.
They are practically owned by seven
ty-fiye persons. La Toilette, in the
same speech.
+" According to the last report by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
made to the Senate, in which La Fol-
lette sat, the number of stock hOlders
of record of the railroads reporting to
the commission was 327, S5I,
8 This report was based OH the re-
cords Of only 1882 railroads out of the
2, l04 railroads in the. country.
F" This applies only to the stock Of
the railroads. The bonds of the rail-
roads amount to more than the stocks.
The distribution of railway bonds is
even wider than that Of the stocks.
Owned by seventy-tive persons, says
La Toilette. Over 327, 900 SJockhold-
ers, says the Interstate Commission
in only 100 out of the 2, 104 railroads.
" Every twelve months we pay more
to the railroads than we do in all our
taxes. La Toilette, in the same
speech.
" And also pay more for liquor than
taxes and railroads combined. ''

SENATOR HILLERY very emphati-
cally denied Tuesday afternoon at
Trenton that he knew anything re-
garding the charges that have been
going back and forth between Senator
Dryden and Everett Colby. He said
he had not seen an advance copy Of
Colby's speech before the joint debate
at Morristown, nor had he put any
questions to his opponent on that oc-
casion that had, been given him by
Senator Bradley and others from Cam
den. He had learned, he said, just
before the meeting that Colby had a
typewriter speech Of some one hum
dred and fifty pages that he intended
to read. AS he figured that it would
take practically all of the evening to
read such speech, he objected, say
ing it was not fair for Colby to occupy
all the time without giving him time
to reply. Colby agreed to this, he
says, and therefore the debate became
a sort of running fire Of argument and
retort.

MORRIS co. TRACTION TRIPS,
Local trolley Trips of Interest and
Pleasure In this Vicinity.


AS foretaste of what will be a
means of enjoyment to MorriSt0wn'S
citizens when the Morris County Trac-
tiOn Company connects us with its
sections OF roads now in operation each
side OF us, it is worth while to take a
trip by rail or wheel to the connecting
points. At the Milburn station a
trolley can be taken which runs to
Springfield. Here half hour can be
probably spent looking over the old
ParsOn Cauldwell Church 10 front of
which is handsome monument erect
ed year ago to commemorate the bat
tie of Springfield, while across the
street, TO the west. is an old Revou-
tionary grave yard with a monument
erected by the S.. AS r. Bytaking an
east bound car the traveller will be
carried along a pleasant country road
TO Union, where is located the old
Meeker Inn. of historic fame. AS the
cars stop here one can get a drink of
water from the old well from which
Washington might have drank with
profit. Beyond this there is mile or
so of road uncompleted, but which
will be in use late in the fall making a
direct route to Elizabeth West bound
flom the Cauldwell Church the road
runs to withina mile of Summit, which
as the ditiiculUies in the way of getting
a franchise are now removed, it will
soon reach.
TO connect with the other section Of
completed road it is necessary to go to
Dover. From here the cars run on one
hour Roadway to R0ckaway as far as
the Central railroad track. This is a
pleasant trip. The picturesque ride,
however, is to the west, up Blackwell
street over the viaduct over the rail-
road to the upper part Of Dover, which,
was a surprise to the writer for its
beautiful situation and pretty resi-
dences. Here the tracks branch Off
one up and over Mine Hill affording
several fine views thence to Kenvil.

reach Lake Hopatcong. This trip is

When Secretary Taft said last week
In his recent Maine speech that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the issue of the
present campaign, not because Of his
words but because Of what he has
done, he echoed the sentiment to all.
The issue is whether in electing al
Republican House of Representatives
we shall show our approval and en-
dorsement Of what the President has
done and will do with the assistance
of another Republican Congress, or
whether we shall by electing a Demo-
cratic House tie the hands Of the
President and prevent his carrying
out his plans and policies President
Roosevelt is the issue, because the
people want it so. He has their con-
tidence and their esteem, and he
should have their support irrespective
of party, for the Democratic party
were driven to support many of his
measures and help enact his recon-
mendations into law. Republicans
without exception will sustain the
President. Democrats who do not do
so will repudiate the acts Of their own.
party in Congress and waste their
votes in the bargain. To vote against
the President means to vote against
the legislation Of the last session. of
Congress, and to prevent furthur Leg
islation on the same lines, that is,
against the best interests and welfare
of the people in their fight for ldecency
and honesty and square deal. Yes,
Mr.. Secretary Taft, you are right, the
President is the issue and viii remain
the issue.

EVERY Republican should attend
the primary elecUion this afternoon
with a determination to stand by his
party, inasmuch as there is no i'm
provement of any character In the
government of the State, but what
was brought about by the organized
efforts OF the men of this party in the
last ten or twelve years The credit
of the State has not only been main
tained, but by wise legislation and
economical management there is a
large surplus in the State treasury in
spite of the fact that enormous sums
have been voted for schools and ben
evolent and penal institutions. Since
the Republicans have had the man
agement of State affairs there have
been no public scandals nor anything
to bring the blush of shame to Jer-
seyman. This result has been brought
about by organization and leadership,
and the men prominent in State af-
fairs are men of standing and influence
in their several localities. To vote to
overthrow an organization of this
character at the behest of a political
soldier of fortune like George l..
Record would be the heigt Of folly.

SENATOR La TOILETTE is making a
great point that as Senators Kean
and Dryden did not vote for his
amendments TO the Railroad bin they
did not stand by the people. Whoever
gave Mr., La Toilette the position Of
champion Of the people? Certainly
not the people themselves. The man
who was chosen for that position was
Theodore Roosevelt by an enormous
majority. He says that IL would be
unwise to make a change In the Sena-
torial and Congressional representa-
tion this year. Who is most worthy
of belief?

a Jersey Village in connection with
what might have been a tragedy.
A lady with Two small children was
driving a spirited pony before VII

fright and bolted, with the bit in his
teeth he was soon beyond control and
the occupants Of the vehicle could
only cling to its swaying sides and
hope for help. a woman In a nearby

her telephone and called up a house a

WHEN you look at your primary bal
lot in some of the election districts
you will find on the Republican ticket
groups Of men for delegates to the
congressional and county conventions
who stand simply upon their merits,
and who go to the convention une
pledged leaving it to the assembled
wisdom Of the delegates in convention
assembly to make such choice for
nominees as will seem best for the in
terests Of the county. Other groups
of names will have opposite them the
name of Frederick r. Kellogg as their
choice for the nomination for Assem-
blyman. Mr.. Kellogg says he has al
ways been Republican, but has been
to busy with his private affairs to pay
attention to politics, or in other
words the affairs of the public. While
his ability is unquestioned the voters
will remember that he is advocated
by Senator Colby who is pledged to
support Mr.. Record for United States
Senator. Mr.. Record has also been in
this county to advocate the move
ment. The new idea candidates for
the Assembly in Essex county, as Mr..
Colby says, twin not do as / tell
them, and have repudiated Record.
Mr.. Kellogg has made no declaration
in this respect and isit not fair to Judge
him by bis advocates and say that if
elected he will stand by the men who
stand by him and support Mr.. Record?
If so, the Republicans of Morris coun-
ty cannot consistently vote for him.
