An Uncertain Obituary.

A Georgia man wrote the following
on an oak slab which marks a supposed
grave in a meadow: This spot IS
sacred to the memory of a faithful ami
NAL, a white mule, born ten years be-
fore the civil wal and went through
that war on a rush from Bull Run to
Lees surrender. We amt certain that
the mule died here, but when last seen
the faithful critter was grazing on this
identical spot and trying to kick a
lightning flash back to the Clouds

The idle always have half a mind to

Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1906-04-12
Mission Of the Democratic Party.
From Governor Folk 3 speech.

There are some who see danger to orr
institutions in the agitations resulting from
the exposures in official and business life.
To my mind the hope for the perpetuity Of
this Government was never brighter than
now. The fact that this awakening has
come at time of unusual prosperity shows
that it does not proceed from spirit Of
discomfort, but from the moral sense of the
people
Is is not insurance companies the people
complain Of, but the breaches Of trust on
the part of some Of those running the in
surance companies. The people known
that while some insurance people and some
bankers are crooked, = just as some Off
Gals are crooked it does not follow that
al insurance men, nor all bankers and Of
ficials are without honor.
This movement against graft is not a
crusade against wealth, but against the
abuses whereby some obtain great wealth.
The people object to special privileges out
of which tainted riches grow. The cry is
not for socialism or anarchy, but that the
corporation magnates respect the law that
governs the conduct of the corporation as
he asks others to respect the law that pro-
tects its property. The anarchy or capital
b ding lawlessness is no more to be toler-
ated than the anarchy Of labor breeding
riot.
The elimination of special privileges is
the great question before the people OF
this country-the railroad rebate; special
privileges that create monopoly, and every
special privilege founded on graft. =
There is room in this country for only two
great political parties. Our form Of gov
ernment naturally makes one the party of
special privilege and the other the party Of
equal rights; one the party of the classes,
the other the party of the masses
No grander mission can be in store for the
Democratic party than to continue the fight
for the rule of the people against gratis
and special privileges. Clothed in the
armor of righteous cause, the attack Of
Democracy upon the citadel OF graft
and monopoly, il aggressive enough, must
triumph in the end, for the principles of
true Democracy are enduring because they
are just, and invineible because they are
right

The number Of municipal ownership
bills before the legislature has, according a
Trenton correspondent, alarmed the Public
Service Corporation, aad as a result the
President Of that corporation was very
active in Trenton this week. In connec-
tion with this activity, Governor Stokes
has issued message to the legislature
warning the lawmakers against haste in
such legislation.
The bill to allow Woodbury. to own and
operate its light plant is one Of the bills
that comes under the Governors suspicion,
and ii is likely the bill will die with Cam
denis and Others Of the same class.
A light plant would be just an adyanta.

there Is no more danger in allowing the
city to own and operate one than the other.

There has been so much in the different

received. Look out for hint
What might have been a serious fire was
averted last Tuesday morning at the pala-

tin-smith was painting the roof with q
patent mixture which had to be put on
warm, so stove was in one Of the third
floor rooms, and it was arranged for him to
use for heating the paint, which very sud-
denly boiled over and took FIRE. The tin
smith, however, quickly smothered it out,
but was almost suffocated by the awful
smoke from the burning mixture. The
room, of course, was badly smoked and the
wall paper ruined, but the family is thank
full that it was no worse. The fire appar :
atns was out.

The King can do no Wrong, Long Live
the King" are the conclusions Editor Al
bright reaches in his defense of the scheme
to create Boards of Equalization Of Taxation
in the counties Of this State, the duty of
which is to equalize, revise, review and en-
force taxation.
Our objection to this scheme is that it
creates sixty-three useless offices and we be-
Iieve clothes them with unconstitutional
powers in that they are empowered to re-
view the work of local assessors, order the
increase OF property values, and in case an
assessor fails to obey them, or it,
has authority to remove the offending
Official from Office. In such case
the township committee or council will fill
the vacancy until the next election, when
the people may again make an effort to
elect an assessor who will do the bidding Of
the County Board in matter of assessments.
The editor of the DEMOCRAT is not a
lawyer, nor the son of lawyer, nor has he
lawyer boss, and when he reads in the
State Constitution that 1.-THE legislature
shall not pass private, local or special laws
Regulating the internal affairs of towns and
counties, appointing local officers or COM
missions to regulate municipal affairs" we
read it just as it is printed.
If the County Board Of Taxation, APP
pointed by the Governor, and paid out of the
State Treasury, subject only to.the will of
the Governor, land the local boss) clothed
by legislative authority to discharge so
important local official as a township or
city assessor, increase or decrease assess
ments, sit with all the powers now pos
sossed 5y Commissioners of Appeal, is not
an interference with the local affairs of
towns and counties, then we read to no
purpose.
II this law be constitutional then the
legislature may, with equal constitutional
authority, empower the Governor to APP
point collectors, assessors, township COM
mitteemen, counciImen, police for our cities
and constables for our townships, and like
the Great White Gar relieves the people Of
all annoyance Of attending to their home
governments.
And what is the demand for this state
supervision Of the tax machinery Of the
counties by special boards controlled by the
State Executive and clothed with extra
ordinary powers? Who is the African
in the swood pile?' The object is not
alone to provide soft snaps for sixty-three
faithful followers of the machine, nor yet to
make more secure the machines hold on the
State, but beyond all this is something else.
What is it, Bro. Albright? II you don't
tell, somebody else will, in time.
AS to Editor Albright's sneer that we are
alone in our contention against this scheme,
all we have to say is that it is not yet a
crime for person to have an opinion, and
to speak it, but as it may be after while
we propose 80 exercise our rights while we
may.

One Of the P. R. R. Senator'S.

In an article on Railroads on Trial, " in
McClures Magazine for March, the writer
asks these interesting questions concerning
one in whom New Jersey is supposed to
have some interest:
ssWho is this Senator Kean that he talks
of self interest? Senator Kean is from
New Jersey; sent to Washington by the
New Jersey machine; one Of the worst in
the country. And whom does Senator
Kean represent in the Senate Is it the
people of his State or the Pennsylvania
Railroad and other corporations Talk Of
self interest!p
The writer Of that article has the thanks
of every citizen Of New Jersey for pointing
out the fact that our Senator's name is
Kean. Nine out Of ten people in the State
had utterly forgotten him, and Ealf Of the
people could not tell now TO save their lives
who is Senator, or what be eyer did to be
elected to the Office. [Salem Sunbeam.
If the people elected U. S. Senators, as
they should, 'sWhat Mr. Kean ever did1
would forever bar him from being elected
to the office" His own party would net
dare present him as its candidate for such
an election. And that is why Mr. Kean is
now flooding the mails in this State with
the speeches which other Senators have
made against taking the election out of the
hands of corporation-run Legislatures fron
which be has bought the election and could
do it again.
