WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN arrived
In New, York Thursday. More than
ten thousand people crowded Madison
Square Garden to welcome him and
hear him outline his views on political
issues twenty-five thousand people
thronged Madison Square to attend
the open air meeting. In his efforts
to surpass President Roosevelt in pop
ularity Mr.. Bryan presented most rad
ical propositions regarding the govern
ment ownership Of railroads and other
matters. His speech failed Of its pur-
pose, however, for it was met with a
mighty howlof protest from the South
where they claim government control
would do away with :: Jim Grow cars
and other devices to keep the negroes
down. Mr.. Bryan at once realized
that he had made a great mistake and
has since been explaining his speech
away. He came to Newark on Satur-
day to reconcile the warning Demo-
Gratis of that city, and said he was as
sured that his coming to this State
would result 10 the election Of Demo-
Gratis to succeed Senator Dryden and
two Congressman. Inasmuch as the
National Democratic leaders say that
MI. Bryan's speeches have destroyed
all possible chances Of electing Dem
ocratic Congress this fall there is no
occasion to worry about his visit to
New Jersey

OFFICIAL GRATING.

Men seeking office have the habit O.
accusing the ms of grating and every
instance Of peculation is magnifee
and enlared BY statements to the eff
feet that they all do it,
The reiteration of these charges
made as rule without any more evi-
dence than the mere assertion that
" we know it is done though we can.
not prove it, q has created such a pref
udice against Office holding that many
first-class men refuse to accept public
positions because they will be smirch.
ed by indiscriminate SANDER.
Every one who knows the officials OF
a city, county or State knows that the
great mass OF them are honest and
faithful, knows that they are not
grafters, and every time a defalcation
occurs it attracts attention, not be-
cause 1t is the ordinary thing, but be-
caiise it is the exception.
A New York fidelity insurance COM
pany issues a summary of defalcatiOnS
monthly and it's last statement covers
the month of June. This shows that
the total defalcations in the United
States during that month amounted
to the large sum of S516. IA, but in ex-
aiming the details only S92,971 we're
by city or county officials and 81 129
ia connection with State or Federal
matters.
This shows that only one-fif h of
the peculation was by officials or pub
lie employees, while the great bulk
was by other employees in the business
world
OF course there is no excuse for any
stealing, but it is worth while when
denunication is heaped upon one class
in the community to see how this
class compares with the rest Of the
people. III

SENATOR HILLERY was given a clean
bill of health by Senator Colby in the
discussion of Wednesday and Thursday
evenings here and at Boonton. Tue
purpose Of the discussion was to afford
an opportunity for Senator Colby to
show, If possible, that Senator Hillery
had not properly represented his con-
stituents in the State Senate. The
former gave the highest testimonies
TO Mr.. Hillery as an able, irreproacha-
bic man, on whom never a shadow of
suspicion rested, and the only fault he
had to find was that Mr.. Hillery stood
by and worked for Republican meas
ures that we're advocated by the State
leaders. AS this was precisely what
Mr.. Hillery was elected to the Senate
for by the Republicans Of Morris coun-
ty this testimony of his opponent was
very much to his credit. 1t was ad-
mitted by Mr.. Colby that the new
idea'' people last winter conferred to-
gether on all measures of import
ance, thereby practically having ma
chine. II it was right in their case,
what was wrong 10 the Republicans
who were responsible for the good gov
ernment Of the State doing the same
thing?

BETWEEN Mr.. Colby's open declar-
alton that he was going to stand by
Mr.. Record to the end, and the stand
ing and record Of some of the active
men In the new idean movement in
this county the respectable element
of the organization have no reason to
be proud Of their company. MIR, Rec
ord recently said in regard to some Of
the prominent shouters for the idea
here, That IN every reform movement
there was always a lot Of disgruntled
and undesirable fellows who rush to
the front and have to be gotten rid Of
before success could be secured We
imagine that it would relieve lot Of
peoples minds If Mr.. Record WOULD
realize that he is veritable Fold mar
of tile sea and get out.

THE census bureau gives out some
figures Of the newspaper business Of
the country, which state that 1924
1877 copies of newspapers are distribut-
ed daily in the United States, or one
paper for every four inhabitants. On
Sunday, 1889, 52l papers are printed.
The capital invested in the business
is placed at 1884 ,O2l, 1853 and the adj
yertlsing receipts in 1905 we're S145,-
531, sll. There is no mention Of re-
ceipts from advertising or Of expenses
of publication, so the public cannot
very we'll estimate how many millions
profits there are in the business. How

Of the business, can be counted on the
fingers of one hand with some to
spare, and for every successful paper
scores have been failure.

RAILING ACCUSATIONS we're made
against certain individuals BY Mr.. Col
by in his remarks, some Of whom he
mentioned BY name, but when pressed
for particulars he lodged behind his
think works and uisclaimed actual
knowledge. There was nothing shown
from START to finish that the so-called
bosses" In the State were half as as
sertive as MIR. Colby's MENTOR Mr.. Rec
ord, and certainly nothing was adj
vanced to show that any Of them were
caught at grating while Mr.. Records
showing before the riparian investiga-
tors was thoroughly discreditable, As
between tile bosses, Mr.. Colby has the
distinction of following the worst op
record

SENATOR Colby brought to the Hill
lery-Colby discussion on Wednesday
evening all the zeal and abandon of a
star convert in a rescue mission. In
order to show how great miracle of
grace he was, he frankly admitted
that he was willing tool of the
bosses and did their behests regard
less of consequences, and it was only
when led to the light and shown the
error OF his ways did he become a ser
want Of the people who put him IN Of
flee. His confessions Of sins Of ornis-
sion and commission were disingenu-
GUS and frank when using himself as a
frightfEl example to show how bad
Others were, but it was Significant
that much of his evidence was of a
character that would not have been
admitted in court OF law. aor when
pressed for particulars and. proof would
eyade responsibility by saying { don't
know, but | think So Mr.. Hillery
was justitiedsfn saying to him on one
occasion when he lodged a question,
that " there was too much thinking
and too little knowing" Mr.. Colby
certainly had the advantage in one re-.
spect, for when his inconsistency was
shown he pleaded the conversion act,
which, to his mind. apparently put the.
consideration Of the past out of the
question. He also frankly admitted
that while he had broken away from
Major Lentz's bossism, he was under
obligations to stand by George L. Rec
ord practically for the same reason,
he had given him his position, conse-
quently hemust support him.

PROBABLY no minor political event
IN New Jersey in recent years has ex-
cited such interest as that taken in the
Hillery- Colby discussion this week, and
the outcome justifies the wisdom Of
Senator Hillery in defending his rec
ord from the aspersions cast upon it
by some of the speakers of the New
Idea movement. Itshould be kept in
mind that the purpose of the discuss
ion was not to take up the issues now
being discussed in the State, but to
have the structures upon the alleged
sins of omission and commission Of
Morris county representatives in the
Legislature = put in definite shape to
be defended and answered Senator
Colby came to the meeting on We'd
nesday with a carefully prepared and
lengthy speech, which had been given
out to the press it is said, and which
would have taken the whole evening
todeliver Thus Senator Colby adroit-
lY attempted to put upon Mr.. Hillery
the burden of answering the criticisms
made by the New Idea people upon
the Republican organization, many Of
which we're simply allegations that
could neither be proved or disproved.
This naturally put Senator Hillery at
a disadvantage as he could not be ex-
pected to justify the actions Of all the
prominent men in the State nor be an
swerable for all bills before the Legis-
lature and the action thereon. On
the general principles Of the parry and
his own record, however, Senator Hill
lery more than held his own, and by
the frank admission Of his opponenent
is an able. irreproachable and indie.
pendent representative Of the county
inlegislative halls. incidentally it was
brought out that there, are but very
few venal men in the legislature and
far less boss rule than is generally be-
lieved. The Republicans Of Morris
are to be congratulated upon having
the opportunity Of hearing the pend
ing ISSUES discussed BY two able and
sincere men. and if the nextfew weeks
were devoted to the discussion OF prin.
ciples without personalities the best
interests of everybody will have been
advanced.

RECORD HAS MUCH no Explain

Probably no subject has been treat
ed to a greater amount Of discussion
in political circles in this section with
in the last few days than the showing
made by George L. Record before the
legislative committee charged with
the, investigation of State Riparian
Board matters. In the purposely gar
bled accounts in some of the newspa-
pers it was impossible to get any ac-
curate idea as to the strength or weak
ness Of Mr.. Records defense and of his
accusations against others.
The general public, however, has
not based its conclusions upon any
single biased report Of the proceed
ings, but has viewed the situation
through different mediums and has rel
ceiyed much enlightenment through
the widespread discussion that has
been aroused. 1t may be said that the
weight of opinion, even among the
rank and file Of his own party, has
been nnfavorabIe to Mr. Record and
that whatever popularity he had as a
United States senatorial possibility
has been diminished.
In his attitude before the commit
tee on Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Rec
ord, to say the least, failed to uphold
the dignity which would naturally be
expected from one qualified to fill the
high Office Of United States senator.
Popular comment also holds him re-
sponsible, in connection with his work
as counsel for the Riparian Board with
questionable acts and practices, which
he has failed to explain away. The
general verdict appears to be, too, that
John Q. Payne, the boards secretary,
and the board itself have been as culp-
able as Mr.. Record in falling to per-
form their duty in such a manner as
to leave them above suspicion. The
committees action in requesting the
board not to make any further grants
or leases until after the inquiry is end
ed is Of itself evidence the boards
methods have not been what they
should be. Public opinion demands
that the probers go clear to the bot.

as free to follow his unceremonious bent
as when he was Prince Of Wales. In

old woman wearily carrying heavy

good dame gladly accepted the invita-

the reply.
