REPREsENTArIyE believers

REPRESENTATIVE believers in the
"new idea /" movement held a conven-
tion in Newark Thursday to form a
State organization. Officers were ell
ected and an committee composed OF
representatives from several counties
was appointed, Charles E. Axtell rep
resenting Morris county. Mr.. Record
was called upon to express his views
which he did at some length saying,
among other things, that to beatthe
machine it would be necessary for the
reformers to cast two ballots for every
machine ballot" Evidently Mr.. Rec
ord realizes that the Democrats will
not help the reformers this year as
they did in Essex county last fall.

IN the matter of good roads, New
Jersey leads all the states, both in the
matter oftaking up the problem and
for the number Of miles of improved
roads built. That is the compliment
paid Road Commissioner Hutchinson
by Morris 0. Eldridge, Chief of Rec
ords in the Agricultural Department
in Washington. The latter official has
been gathering data regarding roads
from the States, and finds New Jersey
has 1900 miles Of them, while the next
in order, New has only 780 miles
Of improved roads. And having taken
the lead, New Jersey proposes to re-
tain it.

THE Civic Association did good
service for Morristown in calling at
tention to the defects and omissions
in the lighting service rendered by
the contracting companies, and Incl
dentally to the cost Of gas and cleo
tricity to our citizens. The reportand
petition Of the association makes a
pamphlet Of twenty pages which has
been mailed to members of the asso-
citation and can be procured by others
interested, and a sumfnaTyof which
will be found in the report Of the pro-
ceedings of the Board Of Aldermen In
accordance with our desire to giveall
sides Of question so that our readers
may Judge intelligently in regard to
local affairs we publish in this issue a
statement by the electric company in
which some of the charges made by
the association committee are CONTRA
dicted. So far as the gas company is
concerned no formal statement is
made. We are informed by an officer,
however, that while street lighting
with gas is by no means anideal con-
dition Of affairs, and there is no great
profit in the business here, the compa-
ny is striving to live up to the CON
tract as made, but is ready to throw it
up at any time if the town authorities
so desire. The comparisons by an ex-
pert lose much Of their force when
judged by local conditions the freight
on coal costing within a few cents Of
twice as much as coal at the mines, the
long distance to carry gas, etc. So
far as the condition Of the plant is
concerned all the money made from it
has been put back in betterments, no
dividends having been paid for years.
The town authorities say that the pa
trolmen are instructed to make note
of all lights not lighted and report
them to the company, and the gas
men say that when complaints are
made they are Immediately attended
to. The freakish distribution of lamps
about town is a relic Of the old custom
of the Common Council to put a lamp
where the residents would club togeth-
er and pay for the lamp post. Hill
street is well lighted because Mr.. Todd
personally pays formaintaining half a
dozen lights.

YESTERDAY morning the committee
to investigate the insurance compan-
les and the banking and insurance de-
partment Of the State met in the Sem
ate Chamber. All the members of the
committee and both the counsel,
(William FL. Corbin and II. Linsly
Johnson), were present.
Mr.. Corbin said the committee had
sent out circular requesting informal
ton and had received several replies.
He then offered another signed copy of
the Armstrong report, which will be
used in the investigation. He also Of
fered the insurance laws of Wiscon-
sin, and the report of the department
Of that State for 1905. The latter was
offered because it contained gain and
loss sheet of the Prudential Insurance
Company.
A number Of the leading insurance
companies replied that they considered
the New York investigation unfair.
David o. Watkins, Commissioner Of
the Banking and Insurance Depart
ment, was the first witness. He said
all the New Jersey companies had been
examined once since he was appointed,
in 1903. The examinations were made
by an actuary appointed by the de-
partment. The commissioner said
that later in the season he would make
suggestions as to insurance laws On
crOss-examination Mr.. Watkins said in
his Judgment there was difference
between stock companies and mutual
companies. The salaries might be high,
but he thought that was matter for
the stockholders. : DO you maintain"
asked Nh. Corbin, that the surplus
in stock company belongs to tsstock-
holders. while in mutual companies it
belongs to the policy-holders 2" " Yes,
sir.1 What would prevent the stock
holders taking the surplus? by order
of the directors Nothing that /
know Of was Mr. Watkins's reply.
Should not the assets Of the company
belong to the policy-holders 2" Not
as I construe the law, was the reply.
He called attention to the existing
law, which says directors of stock com
panies may pay out in dividends what
ever they please, SO long as the capital
is not impaired. That was not the
case with mutual companies. ~
think the commissioner interpreta-
tion Of the law is correct" said Mr..
Corbin.

TIE right Of any man to seek public
office is undisputed, but when a man
announces himself as candidate Of a
political party he ought in all fairness
to agree to abide by the decisions Of
the primaries or convention and if un-
successful give to the successful candi'
date the same hearty support that he
would expect If successful, and also tc
agree if elected to abide by the decis'
ions Of the party caucusses so long as
they do not involve the sacrifice Of
principles. Without this pledge we
do not believe many Republicans will
desert the organization, as the activi-
ty of the Democrats throughout the
State show that they are confidently
hoping for the new idea movement
to put them in power again.

:" ALL BOSSES LOOK ArfKE.,

q
In commenting upon the decision Of
the Court invalidating tile Assembly
District Bill, Governor Stokes, at the
summer capital at Sea Grit, reafiirmed
his opinion as to the superior merits
of the district over the county system
of Assembly representation. In doing
SO he took occasion to remark that
under the county system legislative
delegations will always " be controlled
by some strong and dominating per-
sonality call him boss, a leader or
what you will and all bosses look alike
to me. There is much truth in that
remark, and it was abundantly mani
tested during the late session Of the
Legislature, when Record Of Hudson
and Colby Of Essex dominated the re-
spective delegations in the Assembly
from those counties. The domination
was openly and shamlessly displayed
in the Assembly hall, and met with
mild rebuke instead Of more deserved
punishment. AS the Governor tritely
says, "all bosses look alike, whether
they assert themselves as regulars or
reformers, with the distinction that
the regulars represent parties while
the reformers stand only for a small
faction of Selfsseeking men anxious to
secure office. But the Governors re-
mark is Of more than ordinary signif-
canoe in that it points out to the yot-
ers their duty at the primaries to
nominate only men who will represent
them and not be subsequent to boss
ism, other than that of the people
who choose them. Men shcnld be
sent to the Legislature well informed
on party policies and sufficiently intel
ligent to legislate regarding them
without dictation from any source,
and such men are to be found If sought
for impartially and honestly. They
are seldom to be found among the
persistent seekers after office, whose
only thought is for its emoluments,
and intelligent voters know it. Cam

IN his address to the Republicans Of
the South at Greensboro, N. c., re-
Gently Secretary Taft summed up the
political situation, and showed the fa-
laciouS reasoning of the Democracy by
saying 1t has been the habit of the
DEN ocratic party to attack the Re-
publican party as favoring trusts and
corporations, and opposed to the labor
ing man. Nothing could be further
from the fact. The record of that
party shows that the only substantial
steps which have been really taken to
stop the abuses and oppression at
tempted by the irresponsible holders
OF great wealth and corporate power
have been made by the Republican
party, and there is no more brilliant
and successful exponent Of this policy
than Theodore Roosevelt. His delar-
ations made before the election are
being enforced and put into practice
after the election. The Democratic
leaders have been for years making
loud declarations against corporations
and trusts and railroads, and have,
nevertheless, instituted no legislative
steps in all this time for the purpose
Of restraining abuses. They are now
indignant that the Republican party,
in carrying out the promises of its own
platform, is putting into practice the
principles which they, with a superb
self-complaceny, claim are really COW
cred by Democratic patent"

The Regulars and Democrats were
good to the Republican Good Govern
ment Club on Wednesday night and
helped swell the audience and were
ready to applaud the good points. Tie
speeches were practically the same as
made in other places with coloring to
suit local conditions. The event of
the evening Of most interest was the
announcement that Frederic r. Kel-
logg had consented to be a candidate
for the Assembly nomination and his
declaration Of principles. This nomin-
alton is unique in tat it is the first on
record in the movement where the as
pirant for Office is not a former Office
holder or a disappointed candidate. Mr..
Kellogg has lived here few years and
while active in social and civic affairs
has not been interested in politics OF
identified himself with the Republican
party He is a young lawyer of una
sual ability, with the courage of his
convictions and would doubtless make
an excellent representative in the Leg
stature. Probably out Of regard to
the well-known known lack of conf
dence in Mr.. Record by the intelligent
people of this section he did not follow
the lead of Senator Colby and pledge
himself to support him, neither did
he follow Mr.. Records lead and say il
elected as a Republican he would be
governed by Republican caucus rules,

Millions Spent 10
Make Clean Beer
Cleanest Manufacturing Process Ii
That of An American Brewery.

We regard beer as a food and the
business of brewing beer one of our
most important industries. When we
tell our readers that without exception
, there is no other brewery in the world
SO absolutely clean in its process of
manufacture as Pabst, we speak from
exact knowledge of conditions. The
monster PabSt Brewery at Milwaukee
represents an outlay. Of millions of
dollars and many Of those millions
have been expended to make the Pabst
exclusive process absolutely clean.
Pabst Beer stands alone today, the only
j 1000 product that from the beginning
70 the end Of its manufacture is abso-
terminating germs of the air.
Doctors boil their instruments in
water to sterilize them. Pabst boiIs
! his brew in closed kettles and thus
sterilizes it, From there it passes
through sterilized pipes to sterilized
is fermented. Then through more
sterilized pipes it goes to sterilized
Theoretically sealed storage tanks
and when bottled it is pasteurized
is touched by human hands and comes
in contact only with sterilized air.
This process of manufacture is the
exclusive Pabst method. 1t is one rea-
son for the always the same, always
the best reputation of Pabst Beer.

only from Pabst eight-day malt,

FARMERS MEET IN CONVENTION
Annual Meeting Of Georgia Division


The annual state convention of the
Georgia division, Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION, will be held in Atlanta in the
all of the house of representatives on
Wednesday, January 2, and full at
tendance IS urged and expected FROM
all sections of the state
The county organizations have al
ready held their meetings and named
delegates to the state convention.
At this convention officers of the
state division will be chosen, and three
new members of the executive commits
tee of the association will be named.
The new executive committee will
meet at Birmingham, Ala, on January
l5 preparatory to the annual meeting
OF the Southern Cotton Association on
January 17I9 at that place.
President M. IL. Johnson, Ct the
Georgia division urges a full attend
ance on the state convention, not only
of delegates. but of all others who are
interested in the important work the
association is doing and it's success.
''The farmers of Georgia have got to
work together, if they ever hope to get
a living price for their cotton,'' Presi-
dent Johnson said. ''There is abso-
lutely no profit in this crop to the
growers at 10 cents. Tt needs only to
take into consideration the cost of Ia
Dor, mules and supplies to demonstrate
the truth of this assertion.
''It actually cost us an average of 10
cents to make the crop. We ought to
have at least 123 cents for this crop. 1t
is worth every cent of it. By strong
organization we can and will get it
another time.
