"TALK 1T OVER"

Trial by jury will be given i'm Will
der Hall tomorrow night. This will
be one of the greatest hits of the sea-
son. The admission is free and every
man i'm this section of the county is
urged to attend.
This is not a theatrical perform
ance. 1t is a political meeting AZ
ranged in a way to entertain and at
the same time instruct the audience.
The people are the jury, George J..
Corey the examining lawyer, and the
witnesses will be Col. Alexander II.
FOrdyce, Jr., Charles A. Bloomfield
and Rev. Mr.. Dorword, of Stclton.
Some very pointed questions are to
be asked these men and the people
are to decide by the given
whether Boss Strong's ring is worthy

or not.
The jury, which will be the whole
audience, can also ask questions if it
desires. Finally the witnesses will
each make IL speech.
There will be music to make the
occasion lively and the truth about
the condition mt Trenton, at New
Brunswick and about the Amboy
bridge will be brought out in a man
ner to delight every honest taxpayer
who has always believed something
was wrong with the powers that be,
but had never been able to find out
just what.

Colonel Fordyce need not expect
that his challenge to Senator W. H.
G. Jackson for a joint debate in Mid
dlesex county will be accepted. The
regulars know when they have had
enough of that kind of campaigning.

hand into the offending flame the

Fordyce's challenge has at least
been successful in forcing Boss
Strong to call off his newspaper on
the speech attack. Before the chal-
lenge was issued we heard a great
deal from the boss organ about For
dyce being unable to make a speech
He is satisfied that he can speak well

1t would seem that the admiral,
not a rear admiral, should have been
in command of this greatest of all
American fleets. His place would
seem to be on the flagship ready to
greet and salute the president.
If not in command it would seem
that he should have been in the pres
ident's party to review the fleet.
Where was Dewey?
1t may be that he was down at
Washington doing clerical duty.
From all appearances an admiral of
a navy has nothing to do afoat. He
must live in a suite of offices on
shore.
Dewey is the first admiral this
country has had since Farragut. He
was only a commodore when he sail
ed for Manila bay and after that won
derful victory there was nothing
good enough for him. There was no
such office as admiral, so the station
was created by congress and Dewey
was promoted to supreme actual COM
mand of the navy.
But now, when the greatest fleet
ever assembled in American waters
is lined up for review, Dewey is not
even mentioned.
Where was he, and why was he
not in command?

correction and improvement of the
penal system. The lockstep and the
convict stripes have been abolished
in the state prison, literature has
been provided and a general better
ment in moral influences. Juvenile
courts have been created, the proba-
ton system inaugurated and the idea
of the reformatory principle has been
carried out in the treatment of first
offenders in the establishment of the
Railway Reformatory. The State
Home for Girls has been reformed in
management and enlarged, and now
it is a model institution.
Legislation has corrected abuses in
jails and almshouses, providing for
the removal of children from the lat
ter; established an Epileptic Village,
removing the afflicted from insane
asylums and almshouses and sur
rounding them with care suitable to
their condition, and has well under
way the building of a tuberculosis
%sanitarium, which, when completed,
will be one of the largest and best
equipped in the world. A manual
training school for colored youth has
been established in ,~Bordentown, ac-
commodations for veterans of the civ

the soldiers home at Kearny, a home
for soldiers and sailors and their
wives has been built at Vineland, and

THE LAW.

The new automobile law, of which
such a great account was made,
proves to be all a myth. According
to a decision by Commissioner Smith,
head of the department of motor We
hicles, no one has authority to stop
an automobile and ask the owner to
show his license except the four state
inspectors appointed under the act.
AS there are thousands of automo-
biles running in this state and hun
dreds of. different roads which they
can use, four inspectors do not cut
much of a figure when it comes to
catching law breakers. If Commits
sioner Smith is correct in his inter-
probation of the law, there is need of
an amendment which it should be the
duty of the legislature to make at its
next session.

Direct nominations, abolishing the

SOME MACHINE ISSUES.

(From the Newark Evening News.)
Just now there is much talk in ma
chine papers through the state about
the bossism and immortality of the
Colby leaders making up tickets and
of Colby candidates for party nomi-
nations being put into the field before
the primaries. From the machine
view, it is, of course, all wrong to tell
the people beforehand who are can
didates. The approved machine
method, sanctioned by long years of
practice, is to let the people go
through the form of electing dele
gates. These delegates go to a con-
vention and the bosses hand them a
list of men to nominate. In Essex
the machine is seemingly getting
ready to play the same kind of gum
shoe game of not letting the people
know for whom they are voting. Not
an issue raised by the Colby move
ment has been met by the machine.
1t is not probable that any attempt
will be made to meet them.
Unpledged delegates, evasion of is
sues and suppression of candidates is
the policy of every corrupt political
machine anywhere. For years, since
the basses of the two big parties in
New Jersey entered into an offensive
and defensive alliance with the rail
road, gas, trolley and insurance in
~terests. the constant has been to min
imize rather than impress the impor-
lance of the primaries. A primary
election without contests makes the
boss supreme.
Last winter the bosses were almost
willing, to save their hides, to allow
a direct nomination bill to pass 1t
did pass the senate and had q major
ity of the votes in the house, when
the machine leaders discovered in it
an amendment permitting the people
to vote direct on assembly nomina-
lions, and more than half the men,
bers of the house at once changed
their votes.
The bosses and the big corpora
lions who hire them and pay them
were willing to let the people vote
direct on other Offices; to let the men
who got the most votes be party NOM
inees for city and county offices. They
would not agree to let the members
of the parties select party nomina-
nees fo1 the Legislature. WhyY De

When the Colbyites went to New
foupdland not long ago it was an
nounced that the mar had been
found who said that he was going to

a man in Passaic county who intend
ed to vote for Dryden, the Colbyites

Nor can we fail to see that the world is making substantial progress

viewed against the background of conditions a century, a generation,
even a decade ago, that the government of my own country has adj

the fidelity with which they are represented, respect of the law, obedi-
ence to the dictates of SOUND MORALITY and in effectiveness
and purity of admiration.
Nowhere is this progress more marked than in Latin America. Out
of the wreck of Indian fighting, race conflicts and civil wars strong and
stable governments have arisen. Peaceful succession in accord with

TED BY H PEOPLES INDIFFERENCE The rule of law
supersedes the rule of man. Property is respected, individual liberty
is respected, and the national faith is held sacred. This progress has
not been equaled everywhere, but there has been PROGRESS every !

The present affords just cause for satisfaction, and the future is
bright with hope. Not by national isolation have these results been
accomplished. No nation can live unto itself alone. and continue to

Women Should Be Jurors

BY FREDERICK UPHAn ADAMS. Author an socoloait
@UR entire system of trying persons accused of high crimes is
A MOCKERY OF JUSTICE, and intelligent foreigners
% are unable to understand why we cling to it. Our judicial
machinery is cumbersome, expensive and faulty in every
essential particular. 1t is impossible to make a defense of the jury
system as e%xempifed in modern practice AND RESULTS. The
average metropolitan jury is a composite of ignorance and emotional
ism. The jurymen are swayed by a mawkish sentimentaIty rather
than by a proper conception of the demands Of justice. Recent ver-
diets in which women have been tried offer encouragement and in
centive to those of the weaker SEX who find themselves TEMPTED
ITO COMMIT MURDER in requittal for real or fanced wrongs.
"But will not women jurors be too likely to convict one of their
sex % l am asked.
Not unless the one accused is shown to be guilty by the evidence,

should be convicted and punished, and NO DISCRIMINATION
SHOULD BE SHOWN because of sex. There is valid reason for
asserting that women are better qualified to judge of the guilt of an
accused woman than are men.

Rural Telephone Lines.

1t is our understanding that the
rate which has been advertised by
the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
lphone Company whereby rual com
inunities can sesuro telephone SER
vice at a cheap rate is fixed poll
cy Of the company.
Wherever this service has been
introduced it has proved to be
very satisfactory and very enonom
ical for the users.
As some OF our readers may not
be entirely familiar with the ar
rangemcnt we describe the same
in general as follows:
Wherever a group OF ranchers
desire to construct and maintain
their own lines the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone Company will
meet them at the exchange limits
and supply service at the rate OF
$500 per year for each subscriber
connected to the line, The rate of
$500 per year gives the subscriber
the full benefit of the exchange
service enjoyed by the regular pa
irons of the Company and antici-
palcs that the Telephone Compan-
y will furnish transmitters and re-
ceivers for each telephone.
This is a very advantageous ar
rangement owing to the fact that
it reduces the cost of service to a |
minimum. The telephones which !
the subscribers use may be pur-
chased for from $500 to $500. |
There is no restriction as to the
length OF the line and the number
Of subscribers to be connected /
thereto other than that each line
should have 5 subscribers con-
lected.

hone Company an arrangement
