TUESDAY being the first Governors
day at Trenton after the fall election
there was large gathering at the
State House. The absorbing topic of
discussion was the United States Sem
atorship. As about every paper repre-
sented at Trenton gives a different
coloring to the gathering it is hard to
decide just what the situation is.
Some things were made plain, howev-
.er. Senator Dryden is the only an
nounced candidate in the field, and all
agree that If the matter had been vot-
ed upon on Tuesday he would have
been elected without doubt. Gov
Iernor Stokes, former. ATTORNEY General
Griggs, Chairman Briggs, Justice Pit
ney, and others whose names have
been mentioned in connection with
the SenatOrship say that they are not
candidates and have no aspirations in
thai direction. There was more or
less independent talk, but the South
Jersey members as a rule seem to favor
Mr.. Dryden, and with possibly two ex-
ceptions the Republicans will 60 into
and be bound by the decision Of the
caucus.

GENERAL INTEREST is manifested
in the attempt to divert more water
from the Niagara River for power gen.
GRAFTON by companies. The American
Civic Association is opposing the fur
ther diversion. A hearing before Sec
rotary Taft has been postponed until
the 10Th.
Much has been said about the bene-
fits Of cheap power at Niagara, but
little has been said as to who is to get
these benefits. Take Montreal as an
example. At first there we're three
csmpeting companies and power was
sold at about $40 per horse power. But,
as is always the case, they amalga-
mated, with the result that power
was advanced to from $50 to $3.50 per
horse power, and it is openly stated,
and not contradicted that they are
now paying per cent dividends on
S24, 000, 900 of capital with only 81 ,0OO,-
600 invested. Now, what is electric
energy worth under these conditions ?
1t is OF little value to the public near
ly all the value belongs to the compan-
les selling the power.

The Court of Errors on Monday up
held the constitutionality Of the Bach
eller anti-water diversion act Of 1905.
The decision renders invalid the con-
tract of the Hudson Water Company
to furnish Staten Island with water
supply from the Passaic River The
act upheld prohibits the diversion OF
river water from New Jersey to any
other state The decision is construed
as a severe blow to the large water
companies Of New Jersey, both by as
sorting the sovereignty of the state in
its waters and leaving open the Ques-
tion as to the right to sell water by a
company under a charter filed with
the secretary.

GOV. sToKEs ~ srArE roL1rIcs


Governor Stokes, who has heretofor'
refrained from making any publ,
statement relative to the result Of tn,
last election, made an analysis Of th,
political situation as he views it ii
the State on Monday, Although real
izing that the Republican party is be
set with many fractional differences
the Governor is inclined to be optim
istic on the general situation ia tht
State. He said:
Election returns are apt to be inter
preted according to the individua
point Of view. There are two Signifi
can't facts, however, in connection
with last Tuesday S result. South Jer
sey has stood solidly Republican anC
the State is Republican on the popu
lar vote for Assembly. This, too, iI
spite Of the fact that the Democratic
majorities in Passaic and Hudson ano
Essex we're abnormal, and probably
reached the high water mark. There
are numbers of Republicans in those
counties who, regardless OF the issues
voted the Democratic ticket because
of local dissatisfaction. These men
are still Republicans, and believe in
the party and its policies. 1t is evi-
dent, therefore, that New Jersey is
safely Republican on State or national
issues, with a proper recognition Of
the independent vote which the Re
publican party must always accord.
The independent element is and al
ways has been determining factor,
and it is the influence of this vote
that has raised POLITICAL standards
and ideals in our State. / believe that
party policies should be framed with
due consideration to the independent
voters, not because they are independ-
ent voters or as a matter Of political
expediency, but because, as a rule,
their principles are right.
No little confusion in party issues is,
in my Judgment, caused by the COM
mingling of State and municipal cleo
lions. | never personally favored the
combining of these elections. / OPP
posed it in the party conferences, but
was OutyOted by the honest Judgment
of my legislative colleagues. The
practical workings of this law have
confirmed me in my original opinion
that municipal and State and nation
al issues should be divorced so that
local affairs could be discussed and
voted on free from the entanglements
OF broader problems. l believe that
The present system should be changed
The argument for fewer elections Is
unanswerable, but this desirable con-
dition can be secured by alternating
municipal and State elections, having
one one year and one the next. This
would, of course, require a constitu-
tional amendment providing for bien-
NAL elections and the holding of mum
icipal elections in the odd years. The
gain is worth the trouble, whatever it
may be, of submitting some such con-
stitutional provision TO the people for
their approval or disapproyal, and /
shall so recommend in my message to
the Legislature.
Gov. Stokes does not think the Bish-
ops bill had as much effect upon the
election as it is credited with. He
believes the people Of this State gener-
ally are in favor Of law and order.

FROM the suggestions made to May
or-elect Bennell it would seem that
some people in Morristown think there
is room for improvement. The only
practical solution Of many of the prob
lens now confronting the town is the
enactment of law giving the town a
second-class city charter. With it ma
ny of the things suggested could be
brought about and other improve
ments made that would be advanta-
geous. Such an act should contain a
referendum clause, giving the people
an opportunity Of voting on the mat
ter, and then it could be seen whether
there was generally a progressive spir-
it among our citizens.

DEATH OF MRS. BOTTOME.
She was Founder OF the world-famed
order OF The Kings Daughters.

She was Founder OF the world-famed
Order OF The Kings Daughters.
Mrs. Margaret Bottome, president
Of the International Order Of Kings
Daughters, and one Of the most prom
nent women in the country, died at
her home, 223 East Seventeenth street,
Manhattan, last Wednesday morning.
She had been i'll for some time, and it
4 is remarkable that her death was the
first break in a large family for twenty
six years, her mother having died in
1880.
The order Of Kings Daughters was
organized at the home of Mrs. Bot
tome, in Manhattan, on January Is,
1885, and is, therefore, approaching it's
twenty-tirst anniversary. Mrs. Bot
tome was elected president of the first
society, which was begun with a small
membership, butwhich has now grown
until there now circles in almost every
church in the United States and in
many other parts of the world. Ten
women formed the membership Of the
first circle, and now the membership
runs up into hundreds of thousands.
Mrs. Bottome was the widow of the
Rev. Frank Bottome, a Methodist min
lister, and most of her family were adj
herents of that denomination. She.
has son who is an Episcopal minis

THROUGH the error of an election
board in Railway, by which Mr.. Mar
tine was credited with twice as many
votes as were cast for him, Mr.. Fow-
ler's majority in the district is cut
down to 408 The voting machines
were so locked that the regular Demo-
cratic column and an Independent
both registered when either one or the
other was voted and in making up the
returns the election board added the
two results, although they gave Mr..
MARITIME more votes than were cast.
If the same policy had been adopted
in all the Union districts where voting
machines were used Mr.. MARITIME would
have had plurality and Mr.. Fowler
have been compelled to contest the
election.

ALL indications point to Senator
Hillery as tine next president Of the
Senate. This is as it should be. Ger
tainly no man in the State has done
more to bring about wise and benef-
cial legislation, and no one has began
to do the work he has in Calculating
and defending the new tax laws and
other beneficial measures placed upon
the statute books BY the Republicans.
The coming session will witness DIES,
perate efforts on the part of the Dem
ocrats to make political capital fol
their party and it will be necessary t.
have a reSourceful and courageous mar
at the helm in the Senate.

THE Executive Committee of the
New Jersey Editorial Association met
on Monday to consider some Of the
freak decisions made against the pub
fishers of the country BY the inter
state commerce commissioners and
the postal authorities. Whenever an
official feels called upon to reform
somebody or something he usually
strikes at the newspapers, on the APP
parent ground that they win publish
the news anyway and if they are dis
eliminated against their sense Of duty
to their readers will COMPEL them I'd
do just as much service for the com
munity.
