GOOD WILL RESULT FROM THE
COLBY MOVEMENTIN ANY EVENT

(From the. Freehold Transcript
No unprecedented man could listen
to the speeches at the Colby meeting
without getting the impression that
the speakers were very much in earn
est, men who had IN important mess
age to deliver, and intended to do it
to the best of their ability. There
was no unnecessary calling of names,
no eXtravagant promises, just a plain
common sense appeal to the fairness,
decency, and good Judgment of the
men who were listening.
But what did the speakers say?
Practically nothing new, everybody
them in q form that is bound to
make them sit up and take notice.
Mr.. Colby related some of his legis-
lative experience, and said that there
is no legislation at present except by
consent of the corporations; that
bills intended for the benefit of the
people are not considered on their
merits on the floor of the House or
senate, but are smothered in commit
tee at the behest of the corporations
who may consider them inimical to
their interests; that Legislators, as a
rule, go to Trenton with no fixed
ideas of their own as to the needs OF
the public service or the demands of
the people, but only as the puppets
of the corporations who have elected
them, content to vote and act as they
are told after they get there. Hence
the demand for the direct primary,
open discussion, and a fair. square
declaration by candidates as to what
they stand for before they are NOM
mated and elected.
George H. Record followed with
the declaration, also we'll understood
that there Is no republican and nc
democratic party in New Jersey, both

Neform in Dem Jersey


are owned by the corporations, who
do not care q. fig. for the interests OF
the people, OF for the success of the
parties, so long as their own selfish
ends are served. He made the some-
what telling point that Colby and
Pagan had started a revolution, had
become famous all over the country,
because they had dared to do real
service for the people, and very truly
said that If we had a government for
the people instead of the corpora
lions the Colbys and Fagans would
be the rule and not the exception.
Mayor Mark Pagan, of Jersey City,
spoke for his city and state, referred
the misrule and mismanagement
of the city in former years, and of
his efforts to have the corporations
pay their just proportion of the taxes.
He was determined that something
should be done, and when he began
to do things himself, after having
tried in vain to have the party in
power do something, he was de-
nounced as one who would ruin the
republican party. But quite the re-
verse had been the result of his pol
icy, the party had been benefited as
well as the people of his city.
He closed with the significant
statement that If the republican
party, now apparently drunk with
power, did not listen to the demands
of the people they would be driven
from power even as the democratic
party was a few years ago.
AS we understand the situation,
thoco men were as renuh-
Leans to republicans, appealing to
them to- come out to the primaries
and place the party in position to do
better service to the state. But their
words must have wholesome effect
upon all thinking men. They may
not be successful this time-a not
impossible contingency-but they
will have set the people to thinking,

TIE OFFICE

On the subject of Office seekers the
Newark Evening News says:
The Trenton Times persistently
continues to rate Colby, Record and
Pagan as office seekers and nothing
more. "If these men," it asks, care
not office seekers, what in the name
of M sense are they, and what
from the Newark News point of
view is an office seeker?" Well, as
a concrete example of a successful Of
fee seeker, take John M. Mills, of
Morris county, a regular of the regu-
lars. He is assemblyman, sheriff's
counsel, secretary of the county tax
commission, member of the election
board, counsel for Morris township,
also for Mt. Arlington borough and
Randolph township, and wants to be
reelected to the legislature. Or,
take Boss" Strong, of Middlesex. He
was state senator for three year =,
then became member of the state
board of assessors at $4,000 a year, a
part of the time drawing two salaries,
and is doubtless looking for q reap
pointment in 1907. Again, take the
members of the state board of arbi-
tration, the majority of whom are
regulars, and these do not exhaust
the list by any means. Abstractly
speaking, an office seeker is n who
strives to seize public office, no for
the public3welfare, but for what he
can make out, of 1t; not to secure re-
form. but tolpromote private Or par
tisanSe ndsisnot tospromote good gov
ernment,sbu to carry on corporation
schemes; not to work for the people,
but to work the people. Theodore
Roosevelt is a pretty good example of
an office holder who was never an
office seeker, and some United States
senator's as well as several of the
bosses of this state are eminent ex-
amples of Office seekers who ought
not to be Office holders. The Colby
reformers are not of the latter class,

gether with a pledge to abstain from

ganization is fighting for the cause
of temperance in a quiet and unas-
Stunning way, but it is effective. The
members do not go about the country
demanding that saloons be closed and
scolding those who frequent such
places. They simply agree not to pat
ronize such places themselves. Such
a method can offend no one and at
the same time 1t increases the ranks
of temperance.

Defects In the Adj
m~inistratiOn of the
Criminal Law
BY HENRY B. ROW Retired Justice of the United
States Supreme Court

~HE criminal laws throughout the United States are more
and more coming to be for the benefit of the criminal
instead of for the PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC.
The conviction of the criminal by a jury trial is Eeally
~ onlysthe beginning Of the effort to prosecute him The
criminal courts of the country are hedged in with restrictions, an OF
which are designed to give the convicted man some LoVfhoLE
OF ESCAPE, and none of which is intended to bring HIM to speedy
punishment for his crime. N
Undoubtedly some Of the judges are incompetent, but thelgfeatest
trouble probably lies in the indulgence of TECHNICALlTlES that
characterizes the courts. More thought is given to technicahties that
will allow the convicted man to escape punishment than to melting out
justice when he is guilty.
The delay in bringing criminals to justice and the escape of many
who actually are guilty is responsible for that lack of confidence in
the law which finds its manifestation IN LYNCHING. Lynch law
is the natural result of the failure of the courts to perform their
natural functions. 1t is a ~deplorable fact that lynchngs seem to be
on the increase, but it is easy to trace them to their source.
If it. was assuredto the public that a criminal was sure of convic-
ton, lynchings would be few. That is, if there always had been the
confidence in the criminal law that there ought to be, the custom of
lynching would not have grown to the proportions it has assumed. 1t
has gone so far now that l doubt the possibility of ERADICATING
this ~deplorable evil. a2 3
One who has watched day by day the practical administration of
justice in an English court cannot but be struck by tRes celebrity, ac-
curacy and disregard of mere techncalties with which 'busihess is
transacted. One is irresistbly impelled to ask himself why tits that
with the reputation of Americans for doing everything from the build
ing of bridges over the Nile or baHleships for Russia and Japan to
harvesting, reaping, blowing and even making butterfly machinery,
faster than other people, a court in conservative old England will dis
pose of a half. dozen jury cases in the time that would be required
here IN DISPATCHING ONE.
sRs
The cause is not far to seek. 1t lies in the close confinement OF
counsel to the question at issue and the prompt interpoahon OF the
court TO PREVENT DELAY. The trial is conducted by men
trained for that special purpose, whose interest it is to expedite and
not to prolong them.
No time is wasted in imnaterial matters. Objections to testimony
are discouraged, rarely argued, and ALMOST NEVER made the
subject of exception.
THE TESTIMONY .es CONFINED TO THE EXACT POINT AT
ISSUE. MERE oRAToRY IS AT A DISCOUNT. NEW TRIALS ARE
RARELY GRANTED i
A criminal trial especially is a serious business, s~ince&-2tase of a
verdict of guilty it is all up with the defendant and nothing can save
him from punishment but a pardon from the crown. The result Is
that homicides are infrequent, and OFFENDERS RARELY Els
CAPE PUNISHMENT for their crimes.

TRYING TO DIsCREDIT RECORD.

IIAIIINo ~
(From the Newark Evening News.)
The suspicion that the investiga-
ton of the affairs of the State Ripar-
ian Commission was prompted in the
hope of learning something deroga-
tory to George l.. Record, is strength
| ened by the fact that among the first
questions propounded by Assistant
| Attorney General Duffield were. a
number designed to convey the i'm
preston that Mr.. Record had been
neglectful of his duties as counsel
for the board. 1t is but stating the
exact truth to say that thus far there
has been utter failure to show any
thing of the kind. The testimony of
Commissioner Cloke and of Secretary
Payne shows that the collection of
arrearages of rentals was not consid-
cred a part of the counsel's duties,
but that it was held that the state
treasurer should look after. this detail
of the business. And that seems to
have been the practice until the leg
i~slature enlarged the scope of the
states law department and abolished
the custom of employing special
| counsel for the different state boards
and commissions.
1t must not be expected that fail
IRE thus far to elicit testimony I'M
| favorable to Mr.. Record will discour-
| age Mr.. Dufield in his efforts in that
direction. Mr.. Dufield possesses
great perseverance and determine
ton, as will be recalled by those who
remember with what merciless rese-
luton he prosecuted the disbarment
proceedings against Major Carl
Lentz. He will do his utmost to per-
form the work cut out for him by his
masters.
