THAN Judge Francis Child, of Essex
County, there is no man in the State
better inforced in political history or
who can read political portents more
accurately. And withal while fully
appreciating the honor of the guberna-
torial position he is neither by temper
ment or disposition inclined to waste
his energies on a proposition for the
sake of "having run" Knowing these
facts we have waited, with much Curl
osity the. outcome of the movement to
make him candidate for the guber-
material nomination. On Saturday
the Judge gave out statement that
under no circumstances would he al
low his name to be used in this con-
vention. Coming, as it does, after the
harmonizing OF the Republican party
in Essex county, it indicates that in
the estimation of an astute and inter
ested observer there is not even a fight
ing chance Of the Democrats carrying
the State this fall.

THERE seems to be color of equity
in that decision of a court which has
just, decreed that H. II. Rogers, as the
head Of the Standard Oil Company
owes nothing to a man who was suing
for $4,000 for the use of a patent to
prevent explosions in petroleum. Mr..
Rogers, it appears, did not deny that
his company had used the device, but
he set up that it had failed to prevent
explosions in the line of work of the
Standard Oil Company. 1t has not, he
insisted, done work for which it was rec
commended, and he alleges that there
have been explosions in Standard Oil
properties since it was employed. The
court sustained this contention, and
though it is the fashion to condemn
courts which do not condemn the
Standard Oil corporation, we defy pub
lie opinion so far as to say that the ac
tion of this court was founded upor
what is at least a prima facie case.

Interstate Fair.

The Interstate Fair at Trenton, N.
j., will be opened this year Monday,
September 30th, and will close Friday,
October 4th. The week will be filled
with pleasant surprises for this, the
greatest fair east of the Mississippi.
New departments have been added,
the racing program has been entirely
revamped and vaudeville program
combining the newest and best of out
door attractions will be presented.
Theodore H. Coleman, the acknowl-
g ged peer of race meet promoters in
che United States and the best known
horseman in this country, has been en-
gagged to conduct the horse racing de-
partment. Coleman is of Wilkes Barre,
and whenever his name appears in con-
nection with meet horsmen know the
best IS coming to them and to patrons
of the racing. He is the man who for
time managed the Empire City track
and who established the New York
State Fair. At his spring meets this
year in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre he
had 200 horses entered, an unprece-
dented record.
Mr.. Coleman's policy at the Inter.
State Fair is shown by the fact that
two days after he signed his engage
ment for Trenton he contracted fol

SEVERAL political favorites went
down in Tuesdays primary elections.
Among them were Winton g. Garri-
son, treasurer of the Republican State
Committee, whom John S. Gibson de-
feated as delegate to this weeks State
convention; Elvin W. Crane, the Dem
ocratic gubernatorial candidate in
1898, who was defeated as candidate
to the Democratic State convention !;
and George L. Record, who failed to
carry his home precinct, and will be
unable to take part in the Republican
State convention unless he goes as a
substitute. Justice Fort gets but

from East Orange, his home city. The

WELL CARED-FOR PUBLIC sERv
ANTS.

The country is disposed to be appre-
ciative of the services of Congress and
finds no fault when the legislative
bench exercises the rare privilege of
raising its own salary. Fifty years ago
it was common for anopposition organ
to twit a congressman on his opulent
pay of So a day and mileage. The new
Congress that meets in December finds
it's salary raised so per cent. A salary
OF $1,000 year is provided, which is
800 day. Each member is allowed a
clerk at $1,000 a year, and makes his
own arrangement in this particular.
Mileage is literally construed. New
buildings for the special convenience
of the Senate and the House, near the
Capitol, are about to go into use.
Their cost has been s., 100000 In the
representatives building each men,
Der will have fine office, and each
senator three-room suite. All ex-
penses Of maintenance are raid by the
government, including that of sub
way line toScarry members between
the Capitol and their new office build
ings.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
Congress, by wise action in behalf of
the people, can make an ample return
for the emoluments they receive. BY
right policies, sound economies and
business-like methods the legislative
branch, holders of the purse and orig
inators of the laws, financial and other,
have a fine opportunity to be a grati-
flying realization of what Congress is
for. The people have amiably ac-
guessed in the advance of salaries,
the providing of special buildings and
of individual clerks. all within few
years. The public servant is worthy
of due reward. But there are two
sides to every bargain, and Congress
should keep this fact in mind. Any
thing in the nature of waste or failure
will be criticised in the light of just
| expectations.

WHAT AN HOURS WAGES WILL
BUY.

The Bureau of Labor of the Federal
Department of Commerce and Labor
published on last Saturday valuable
tables Of facts based, not on whole
sale, but on retail prices, as compared
with wages during 1906, and contrast
ed with the decade from 1890 to 1899.
The report says
1.-The retail price Of the principal
articles of food, weighted according to
family consumption of the various art
icles, was 1871 per cent, higher in 1906
than the average price for the ten
years, 1890 to 1899. Compared with the
average for the ten-year period, the
purchasing power of an hours wages
in 1906, as measured by food, was 7.3
per cent. greater, and Of full-week's
wages "a per cent. greater, the increase
in the purchasing power OF the full
weeks wages being less than the jim
crease in the purchasing power of
hourly wages because of the reduction
in the hours OF labor"
More than compromising for the
smaller increase in purchasing power
of the full week Is wages, due to the
shortening of hours of labor per week
by 46 per cent, is the fact that the
number of employees in the establish
mentS investigated the principal
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries of the country was 1879 per
cent. greater. There is a large ele-
ment of injustice to employers in this
increased percentage of men, as re-
suit Of the labor unions policy of
. making jobs " where no jobs should
exist. 1t is a stultifying policy, de-
Stroying initiative and originality in
men capable and anxious to work more
than their fellows, who are held close
ly to one kind of labor, done in one
way. AS the figures show, the short
sighted policy produces it's mess of pot
tage. Here is the Bureaus table of
percentages of increase in purchasing
power in 1906 (those marked show a
decrease) as compared with each pre-
vious year back to 1890:

HARMONY ALL ALONG THE LINE.

=
Harmony all along the line from
Sussex to Cape May seems to be the
condition of the Republican party
since the result of Tuesday s primaries
become known. The Essex Republi-
cans have held their convention, de-
clared their party beliefs on local ques-
tions, and nominated ticket fairly
representative of all interests in the
county. The only thing to be settled
is the division of sentiment on the
governorShip question, which will be
disposed of next Thursday at the State
convention. The contests in Atlantic,
Gloucester, Bergen, Passaic and Union
counties have been closed harmonious
ly, and about the only county in which
there Is any friction is in Hudson and
that is over the Jersey City mayoralty
question, which promises to speedily
subside and all factions be agreeable
and happy. The political situation in
the State, therefore, so far as factional
differences go, is gratifying, and gives
token of a full Republican vote in
every county and the usual majority
in November. A thorough demonstra-
tion of the party strength is necessary
in November so as to encourage organ
ization work for the big battle next
year when a President is to be elected.

THERE seems to be no let-up in the
number OF auto accidents which have
become SO common as TO have lost
their impressiveness as startling Incl

demoralizing aspects is that it is so
often the case that these accidents are
the direct result of criminal careless
ness of the victims, that but little pub
lie sympathy is challenged.

OBITUARY.
JOHN n. JOHNSON.

John N. johnson died at his resi-
dence, 81 Western avenue, on Satur-
day. He was aged seventy-three years
and born in Morristown. For a great
many years he was engaged in the
grocery business in the old Washington
Hall building. When the property
was sold to the First National Bank,
Mr.. johnson removed his business to
the Becker block where he continued
in business until sickness compelled
him to relinquish it. He he's suffered
for number of years from heart dis
ease. The deceased is survived by one
son, William S. Johnson. Funeral
services were held this afternoon at
his late residence.
Funeral Services of Lewis G.. Brearley.
The funeral services of Lewis G.
Brearley, who died September at Bis
marck, N. D., took place last Tuesday
afternoon from the home of his rela-
tives in Lawrenceville with services in
Lawrenceville Presbyterian Church.
The sermon was preached by the Rev.
Dr. Samuel McLenahan, who spoke
feelingly of the brief but useful life of
the deceased. A quartet sang, " For
all the saints who from their labors
rest" and Saviour again to Thy dear
name we raise.
The interment was made in the fam
lily plot In the cemetery at Lawrence
vile, where the deceased will sleep
the years Of his manhood away on
the hillside overlooking the beautiful
valley where his boyhood days were
spent.
Later information in regard to his i'll
ness and death show that he went to
Dakota Oy way of the Great Lakes and
Duluth, arriving there the middle of
the week. With his brother he planned
hunting trip for the following week.
On Sunday he conducted services for
his brother, and complained later of
! feeling sick. On Monday he was taken
with severe abdominal pains with a
fever, and peritonitis was feared. Con-
| tinuing to grow worse, the latter part
of the week he was taken to hospital
and his brother JaSpar sent for. The
! nrSG OF ldSU Week dill operation Was
deemed advisable to relieve his suffer
ing, to which he consented, although
aware that it was critical. But tenn
parary relief followed this, and it was
soon evident that his end was near.

fectly resigned, saying, have tried
