BRYAN ON BUSINESS REFORM.

VIM. J. Bryan gave correspondent OF
the New York Sun the following Statements
of his views regarding the scandals in busi-
ness circles in the United States which have
arisen since his departure last summer
The only way to restore confidence in
American business integrity at home and
abroad is to remove the causes which de-
stroyed it. 1t is unfair to blame the dis
closures for the resulting loss of confidence.
The disclosures have simply brought to
light conditions which ought not to be per-
mitted to exist, and if we are going to pre-
vent the periodical repetition Of such revel-
ations our business must be put on differ
ent basis. The remedies that haye been
proposed SO far as have seen are not sufi-
GENTLY comprehensive They treat with
the symptoms rather than the disease.
One Of the chief causes of business
crookedness in America is the custom Of
making the same man director in several
different corporations which deal with each
other. No man can serve two masters in
business any more than in religion, and a
man who is director in two companies
doing business with each other is very apt
to sacrifice the interests of one to the inter
.ests Of the other. a stakeholder has right
to complain if director who is supposed
to look after his interests is also employed
to direct the affairs of another concern
having interests directly antagonistic.
We found in the insurance investigation
that the directors were connected with all
sorts Of corporations which had business
dealings with the companies, and it was
largely to these associated corporations
that funds were diverted. Why not pro-
vide by law that no one shall be competent
to serve in the directorate of two corpora
lions dealing with each other? Such
remedy would be simple, but yet far reach
ing. Good business men are not SO scarce
in the United States that it is necessary TO
make one group Of fnanciers directors in
all large corporations.
1.-THE recent scandals are not the fault
Of the American people at large, for COM
paratively few business men have been
found guilty of crookedness. The trouble
is these few are prominent and they have
secured this prominence largely by figuring
on the direcborates Of so many big corpora
tions. The great majority Of American
business men are honest, but they have
been made to suffer in reputation by the
lawlessness Of the few. The quicker rem
edial legislation is adopted the sooner con-
fdence will be restored at home and abroad
sThe regulation that have suggested
will also put an end to the custom Of using
the names of big men in the directorage of
corporations in which they baye little or no
interest and who give no adequate attention
to their duties.
Mr.. Bryan says ii is his intention to-
make full statement Of his latest views on
bimetallism soon after his arrival in Amer
lea, at the end Of August.

expressed surprise at the mildness Of the
beverage, which was pure spring water:
The Senator said some artly things and
some other things Of sound sense and
reason, and was followed by Judge Henry
Hunt, Of Newton, who described himself
as a filler to spead about five minutes. q
Charles M. Lum, Of Chatham, followed
Judge Hunt, adding vast deal Of "spice'
at the finish Of his speech. The speeches
closed with few words from President
Freeman, who will next year preside over
the destinies Of the Association and preside
at the annual banquet.
On both Saturday and Sunday evenings
the company was highly favored with reci-
tations by Miss Muchmore, Of Summit;
piano solo by Miss Bower, and Mr.. Fred
Cliff, Of Summit, and vocal solos by Mr.
h r. Cox, Of Cream Ridge, Monmouth
county. The officers and executive com
mittee invite every editor and publisher in
the State TO join the Association, feeling
assured of the mutual benefit to both ed
tors and Association

The National Park Election Case.

The written opinion by Justice Garrison
in the contempt proceedings instituted by
Judge Jessup against the Election Board
of National Park, was handed down Tues
day, thought the fact that the decision Of
Judge Jessup, adiudging the officers in con-
tempt was affirmed, was known several
weeks ago.
The facts Of the case are that the election
board, unanimously voted to refuse the
vote of one Grumley in the last election,
holding that Grumley had lost his residence
there by removal to Island Heights, and
continued their refusal after Judge Jessup
had given him an order to vote under seal
of the court In the opinion Justice Gar
rison says:
stThe action of the Election Board merely
raised the question whether the person
was entitled to vote. Now, this is the
precise question that under the supplements
Of 1905 the Court of Common Pleas is re-
quired to adiudge and certify to the Dis
trict Board, and inasmuch as this adjudica-
ton is to be made up on the register to
which the County Board has added the
name of the person whose vote was rejected,
it is obvious that the earlier legislation is
modified in two essential partlculars:-
ssFirst-In that a different tribunal is
substituted for the adjudication Of the ques-
tion previously left TO the Judgment Of the
district Election Boards, and, secondly, in
that the latter act imparts to the registry
list Of advised by the County Board an en-
tirely new function. eleyating it from a
mere means Of invoking the vote power Of
the District Board to the position of afford :
ing at least prime facie evidence for the
exercise Of the jurisdiction conferred upon
the Court of Common Pleas.

editor Carpenter in his oWn-zealous
efforts to discredit the Avis tax bill, dele
gated to himself the authority to use the
approval of the County Board of Equali-
zation to paper, Of which the Board
knew nothing about, until notified by
some of the local assessors. The Board
promptly repudiated the alleged official
schedules, and the Editor of the Democrat
writes the taxpayers to view the Board
with suspicion, because it promptly killed
a bit of political trickery. and at the same
time administered singing rebuke to
the Democrat Editor for his presumptu-
BUSINESS Constitution.
Editor Albright does the bidding of his
master with zeal if not with Judgment.
If it be true, as the Constitution asserts,
that the County Board of Equalization of
Taxation has discouraged the effort of
assessors to secure full value Of personal
property, and uniformity of assessing
methods in all townships, through the use
Of uniform blanks, by repudiating form
adopted by the Board Of an adjoining
county, and approved by Mr.. Redfeld,
chairman of this county's Board, it needs
no words Of ours to cast suspicion on the
sincerity of those charged with the enforce
ment of the law.
The Constitution has done that itself.
We shall see what we shall see.

True Frlenship in the Time Of Need.

To JAS. ID. CARPENTER, Editor
Mr.. Joel DaYis. one Of Bridgeport's re-
spected citizens, who has been confined to
bis house for several months, and a great
sufferer, was agreeably surprised on July
4th, when committee from Logan Lodge,
f. of p, Of Bridgeport, visited him and
presented him with liberal sum Of money
contributed by the members Of the
Lodge to aid him in the hour of need. Also
Miss Brown, Of the Acorn House, and the
ladies of the Keyser House kindly remem-
bered him. Mr.. Davis not being able to
write personal letters TO those who have
been so thoughtful Of him, requested me
to publicly announce in your paper that
words cannot express his gratitude. His
heart is filled to overfowing with love for
those who have without solicitation on his
part so kindly assisted him, and while he
is not member of the order Of the K. Of
P. yet the spirit of benevolence on the part
Of the members be will ever cherish. Mr..
Davis, who is a member Of Enterprise
Lodge, No. 13y, I. Q. Q F., desires also to
shank the Brothers Of that Lodge who are
doing all in their power to aid him, which
has caused the bonds Of Friendship, Love
and Truth to entwine its links about him,
at the time when MOST needed.

SAYS NEAPEL|M MINE
DIRECTORS ARE HONEST

Editor Press: I wish to s. lte
that the article you published Sat-
urday night, March 81, headed,
How Mining Graft Was Worked on
Women" is untrue in every refer
ence of the Great Western mine of
Neappelim, Wash. 1t Is true that
bonds were issued secured by a
mortgage on the property, but it
was put to vote of the entire
company, stockholders meeting
being called for that purpose, to
which every stakeholder was invit-
ed and no one voted against it.
Then each stakeholder was asked
to buy some of these bonds to Sc
cure his or her stock and help the
company to raise money to work
